u got me tearing up thinkin about EW donnie falling for tim and vice versa bc like..... he deserves it so much. to just be happy. to have someone love him and that he loves back outside of his family
if not a spoiler for future comic, how did their romance (good or bad timeline) start? how did it culminate? how did the others react?
I give Donnie a lot of angst to deal with, but I think the way their relationship starts is just by Tim being such a good and caring friend. He’s a caregiver by nature and Donnie really needs that. Timothy has done a ton of work on himself and working through his own traumas, so he’s very much aware of the small ways he can be there when Donnie needs help and nudge him in a healthier direction. And if Donnie is being stubborn, then Tim can at least be nearby.
They’re that “couple” that doesn’t really have too much in common, but something just mysteriously clicks, and there’s a genuine interest from both sides to learn things from the other.

Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.
His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).
Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.

My hand slipped and I made my own Tmnt iteration
The Chaos Crew (placeholder name)
I'm making character intros and more designs but here's just what I've got so far, things might change since this is just a first draft
I've been working on this au for around two years so I have a lot of story packed in here
edit: I forgot to mention what type of turtle they are
Raph is a yellow blotched map turtle
Leo is a pink bellied side-necked turtle
Donnie is a Brazilian snake-necked turtle
Mikey is a Mississippi diamondback terrapin

@pinetreevillain grabs ur sillies and makes them sad
Tim’s worried about the sudden distance between him and his friend.
Donnie’s afraid to be in love with a boy.
dw dw guys donnie figures out his feelings. eventually. every time I hear this song I think of them it’s unavoidable.
I get why pinetreevillain draws Tim so much it’s so fucking fun.

Coffeeholics Anonymous: Of Half-Asleep Ramblings and Hallmark Movies
Now including new member: Danny Fenton!
Tim: And she just...she just leaves him! He’s caring! He's rich! He's handsome! He was building a life with her! He took a midnight flight to the middle of ASS NOWHERE just to find her because she disappeared and stopped responding to him—which any sane person would find concerning! Usually to call the cops over rather than to go there himself, but still, that only shows his dedication!
Marinette: Honestly, it's something I would do.
Danny: It's the best way to be sure.
Donnie: The best legal way...
Tim: And-and he shows up and finds her and after all his concern and efforts to help build a good life for the two of them—nope! Sorry, buddy, she was cheating on you with her ex she only JUST got in contact with in all of a week! And she's just gonna upend her life to get back with him while completely ignoring all the reasons their relationship failed the last time! Because "magic of Christmas" apparently fixes all problems! And excuses cheating on your fiancé!
Danny: F-ing Christmas.
Marinette: (Nods) The season of trouble.
Donnie: Preach!
Tim: So then, after finding out his girlfriend was cheating on him—while using his money and making him fear for her safety—despite being COMPLETELY justified in going OFF, the now Ex Fiancé just bows out! Like somehow HE'S the bad guy in the situation! Because who is he to stand in the way of the "magic of Christmas"?
Danny: Clearly the unsung hero!
Marinette: Let the man go off! He's earned it!
Donnie: I've had to block that channel at home for this exact reason. But don't tell Mikey.
(Shift over to see Mikey is present in the group, dressed as Doctor Feelings.)
Mikey: (Eye twitching) That's very good to know. But guys, this group is was set up here to talk about your real problem.
Group: ...
Mikey: Remember?
Group: ...
Mikey: The reason we're all here?
Group: ...
Mikey: The problem that unites you?
Danny: Christmas?
Mikey: No.
Tim: Horrible Hallmark Movies?
Mikey: No.
Donnie: People trying to drag us from our comfort zones to force us into barbaric conditions. Like lack of electricity? Or coffee?
Mikey: No!
Marinette: Bad writing dictating problematic events of our lives?
Group: (Murmurs and nods in agreement)
Mikey: NO! This group is about your addiction to coffee!
(A long pause.)
Marinette: ...can the magic of Christmas get us coffee?
Mikey: NO!
Marinette: Then truly Hallmark Movies have failed us in every way possible.
Mikey: Would you all please stay focused?
Danny: Maybe we could focus if somebody let us have COFFEE!
