I will never forgive writers, for what they did to him.
He deserves so much better
He could’ve been such a great character, making him Mutagen Man was the worst decision ever.
I would’ve love to see him develop. But no they turned him into Mutagen Man, then froze his ass, and didn’t do anything with him ever again
(I haven’t finished all of 2012 even though I have the entire series)
Maybe they did do something with him, but I highly doubt it, as much as I love 2012 tmnt. they’re very guilty of having characters that you think will be more important, but they never use them.
(Cough, cough April’s mom)
Also, would’ve love to see him and Donnie become friends. because I think their friendship could’ve been fun to see.
I really loved timothy. Too bad they never unfroze his ass
Donnie: Not many girls come into my lab because I get friendzoned so frequently.
Timothy: I'd like to be in the friendzone! I liked friends!
Donnie: It's not as pleasant as you'd think. They don't treat you like a friend, they treat you like an item. Sometimes I wish I was more than just an accessory to these women, but unfortunately, as a gamer, I don't get respect.
Timothy: Well, I'm not a gamer so maybe they'll respect me!
This is technically part of my au but I think it works just fine with canon So part of the upcoming rant is going to be AU exclusive stuff and part of it is just how I see canon and I am not going to tell you which
This is about Donatello's relationships with the humans he's known but it's also partially about Donnie's high and specific expectations of romance which he projects onto April in a sort of unhealthy way and which is later [hinted at being] turned completely on its head when. Casey and ensuing Bi Crisis
Also I just think the whole thing with Timothy was incredibly sad and nobody ever talks about it
Okay so Donnie grows up with no human interaction and has never so much as seen anyone in a relationship before so he gets all he knows from old romance movies and books, which he only indulges in in private bc he knows his brothers would make fun of him for being so invested in it. So he has these very specific expectations for romance, and plans for his future that are mostly fantastical because he knows he is still just a mutant turtle living in the sewers. But when he meets April he’s like all my dreams are coming true :D. They aren’t, of course, and Donnie is just kind of overbearing and weird for a little bit until he learns to tone it down. Casey is a whole other story though; Donnie doesn’t know he even Can like guys, its not something he’s ever even thought of. So he doesn’t fully realize he has feelings for Casey and what exactly they are until way after this video takes place. He kind of has a whole crisis about it, the whole breaking of the mould completely throwing off his plans and expectations. He doesn’t know if it’s allowed, and he doesn’t know what his father [now dead] would think of it. And this whole jonatello arc is going to be kind of a large part of the AU
Also. I’m pretty sure Timothy’s frozen body gets shown like one more time ever but in this AU he was taken by the kraang because i cannot stand the thought that Donnie would just never acknowledge him again
Still have not seen past season 3 tho so bear with me
