[cat-sithe]

i don’t think sugar packets and glass animals are things these boys would canonically collect, i’m just projecting me and my friend’s weird collections onto them.

the dialogue is kinda wonky but i fear i’ll go mad if I stare at this comic for longer than i have already.

rise raph also has autism swag: a post

so basically heres a quick little cap collection just of some of raph not getting social cues or reading tones etc

01. minotaur maze, calls leo out on being up to something only because of the use of the word “indubitably” (bonus: so into behavior pattern/routine that even though leo admits outright that he lied to get them to do the maze, raph just continues having half an argument like leo denied it)

02. mrs cuddles, raph is fully wholly completely unaware of the suspicious pre-prank energy his brothers and april are giving with their faces, actions, and tones of voice. like he fully 100% does not suspect a thing

03. stuck on you, raph does not pick up on the fact that his brothers are CLEARLY only saying that the teamwork ball they complained about all episode ~really did make them a better team and they wanna get back together~ to make him feel better bc he was sad it got wrecked

04. shadow of evil, does not pick up on or suspect ANYTHING about the weird-ass energy of the mutually-lying-and-hiding-something exchange they had with splinter. look at him. he is in the middle of being like “we nailed it i can’t believe he fell for that”. i love him.

05. mutant menace, raph is VERY ANGERY that people were unable to tell that the note they left with their ‘good deeds’ was using THE JUST-KIDDING QUOTES AND JUST-KIDDING WINKY FACE!!!! this whole ep could make a case for his autism swag, it’s so.... he is understanding many things in a way that makes a ton of sense to him that is largely not understood by others

06. the ancient art of ninja hide and seek, where raph spends almost the entire mission taking “stick to the shadows” as literally and face-value as turtle-ly possible and thinks he is absolutely nailing it.

07. snow day, (or lbr any other time he interacts w ghost bear) just. so so so excited about his favorite wrestler... very much having that override the fact that ghost bear is clearly not about this

08. raph’s ridealong, goes through the entire process of getting mistaken for a criminal, freaking out a whole police station, getting apprehended and thrown into the back of the wagon, without clocking any of that energy (bc he is so excited to do a cool activity related to his extreme interest in crimefighting/justice)

and like thats just the stuff i found idly browsing through caps i bet theres a ton of other examples on the social front alone, let alone stuff like stims, special interests, behavior patterns, etc.  

BONUS: 

late fee, iconic autism to autism communication

....,, autistic 2012 raph

undiagnosed autistic raph having meltdowns and feeling terrible afterwards

raph complaining to spike about all the noise mikey is making, and leo grabbed his arm today and it made his skin crawl, and the smell of whatever someone is making for dinner is making him sick and he just wants to hit something

raph struggling to show affection or socialize in "standard" ways, and everyone interpreting him as standoffish because of it

raph being a biter, lol (same)

splinter's lessons on controlling his temper not working because splinter doesnt realize raph is lashing out because he's overstimulated or having his space invaded, and also probably struggling from hardcore autistic burnout

ALSO once they realize raph is autistic, his mask slowly coming down, and everyone's lives being better for it. yeah, now raph is more openly "weird", but he's obviously happier

@rottmnt-brainrot-hours (Oh, wow, did we just get each other? Did anyone else just switch names like that? Weird.)

It's a bit late! Sorry. It was originally about thirteen pages and I kept 'fixing' the colors and dialogue. Now it's only seven pages and fewer colors and no shading (I'm sad; I like shading, but this is what I get for biting off more than I can chew). Sorry if it's not to your liking. I tried.

The dialogue might still be off because this feels cringe.

(Frankenfoot dialogue, because he knows more words, but probably can't say them perfectly yet:

Overwelled = overwhelmed

Awe-tee-stick = Autistic)

Also, bonus pictures I liked from pages that will now never be.

I haven’t done a raph centered piece yet, and I struggled with an idea for a while. But I really like how it turned out. And as an oldest sibling, raph is like… he’s probably the one I most personally relate too (although Donnie and Leo are still my bois) Like I see myself in him when I was his age. God, I love all these bois and want to give them all the hugs possible. And weighted blankets. Tons of weighted blankets.

This is a genuine question, and I'm fully prepared to back this reading up with evidence if you want, but how do you feel about the reading of Rise Raph having Dissociative Identity Disorder instead of/as well as autism? Does that change anything about Savage Raph for you?

I really don't know. I believe you about the evidence and I do believe Rise Raph is meant to have some kind of DID, but I don't have DID and I don't study DID, so I can't say for sure whether or not it's good representation, or how it might overlap with Rise Raph possibly being autistic. I do know that the term "Savage Raph" just makes me uncomfortable as a concept--"savage" is very loaded, and attaching it to mental health just makes me uncomfortable--but I can't judge it more than that.

Rise! Donatello and physical touch.

This is very much a rant.

I am SICK and tired of people saying that Rise! Donnie doesn’t like physical touch at all.

If this is your headcanon or projection, sure! I love headcanons and who am I to say you can’t hc whatever you want???

However, it is not canon.

Does he go out of his way for affection like Mikey? No! Is it his favorite thing in the world? Not at all! Have there been times when he didn’t reciprocate physical affection? Sure, but that doesn’t automatically mean he hates it.

Let’s be real. There are many, MANY moments throughout the show (and movie) where Donatello is affectionate with his brothers, dad, and April.

He lets Mikey cling onto him, he always joins in if there’s a group hug, he carries April and Splinter on his back, he lets his brothers put their arms around his shoulder, HE HUGS THEM ALL THE TIME? The list goes on and on. DID YOU SEE HIM DANCE WITH ATOMIC LASS???

DONATELLO CAN BE VULNERABLE. Does he prefer not to be? Absolutely, but he’s not incapable of it. For one really big example; in Ballad of the Rat Man, Donnie clearly expressed his feelings to Splinter about being upset that he thought Splinter lied about wanting to spend time with him. After he realizes how he was making Shelldon feel, he genuinely apologized and made it right. (With the help of Dr.Feelings ofc) I’m not even going to mention the movie for my own well being. Donnie is sarcastic and apathetic at times, but he is also passionate, dramatic, and excitable. He’s not cold and reclusive. (BUT THAT’S ANOTHER DISCUSSION FOR ANOTHER TIME IM GETTING OFF TOPIC)

HIS SMILE HIS SMILE HIS SMILE

MY ONLY LOOOOOOOOOVE 💜

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? LOOK AT THEM. LOOK AT HIM.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
