Rise Characterizations Pt. 3!!!

Now that Leo and Raph are done, it's Donnie's turn for character analysis as a writing reference. So without further ado,

Donnie Character Notes

Language Habits:

Straight up talks like a redditor who hasn't touched enough grass (affectionate)

Oscillates between very scientific paper polished, sometimes adding a dazzle of shakespearean for dramatics, or abbreviations/a shorter version of a word with a more fun connotation (i.e. "brekkie" instead of breakfast)

Uses food as surprised exclamations or curses, "oh my peaches and cream", "banana pancakes!"

Emphasizes each syllable of a long word when he's excited or trying to make a point. Conquered becomes con-qu-ered

Either exaggerates his speech or speaks in deadpan

The science terms he uses as battle cries aren't chosen at random, but rather are related to the action/subject at hand, i.e. yelling "fibonacci" when throwing his spinning tech-bo

Will overly describe an item or a situation, and often gets caught up in these observations before processing what just happened

Will repeatedly yell "help!" when he's distressed and/or outnumbered

Refers to Mikey as "Michael"

Refers to his brothers as "brethren" or "gentlemen"

Refers to splinter as either "father", "papa", or "dad" depending on the weight of the situation

Refers to his tech as his "babies"

Answers the phone with, "You're conversing with Donatello"

Uses "gesundheit" instead of bless you

Personality:

The fixer, he supplies the family with tech and resources. He always has a trinket made for the situation at hand and/or offers his knowledge/data collected. He's always prepared to help. Even with outside resources, he likes to feel useful in solving their problems (i.e., building Todd that dog park)

The theater kid, in a similar vein to leo, Donnie has his own style of dramatics. He often uses shakespeare-like language, is mentioned to regularly recite the jupiter jim musical soundtrack, and has a music mode for his battle shell. He belongs on a stage, or at least thinks he does

Not good at lying, despite the glamour he can put on in the spotlight. This may be due to the side of himself that over explains his thoughts

An over-thinker, who really tends to over-complicate things. His first theory or idea will always be the most extreme buck-wild concept. After some filtering, he still word vomits

A dreamer/big idea guy. He does have big ideas and goals. A lot of these he's able to put into place, although some go a little haywire (see Albearto). He doesn't do things in halves, and puts everything into a project

Meticulous, someone who's very detail oriented. As mentioned before he tends to over-complicates things. This may be impacted by his love for data and collecting information (he does record Everything for a reason)

Always on the edge of violence, which is surprising. Donnie's not known as being the angry archetype of tmnt, but he can get a little violent in his fighting style and does often cite his desire to use lethal force

Low empathy, which is mainly due to his issues processing and recognizing emotions. He's been pegged as unemotional, but in canon he's rather emotional and expressionate, just lacking the skills to process such emotion (he's just like me fr)

Praise motivated, as seen with his interactions with Splinter. Also desires the praise of his brothers, who he doesn't feel understand him with all the teasing that's sent towards his direction. This also pushes him to seek validation and acceptance in other groups (i.e. the purple dragons), to feel a sense of security or belonging

Ignores his own mistakes, and will often pretend like they didn't exist or ever happen. This most likely has to do with his desire for praise, so he feels bad when he fails. If he never made a mistake, he never has to feel bad

Miscellaneous:

Fourth to unlock mystic powers

Uses "Bootyyyshaker9000" as most of his usernames and passwords, with his alt. username being "Alpha-Bootyyyshaker9000"

Has a fear of bees, spiders, and of course beach balls

Breaks the fourth wall the most

Loves the smell of pineapple, hates the texture

Has a hobby of rooting around in the junkyard and dumpster diving

Uses cheat codes in video games

Mikey's next of course :)

Me, spacing out during my homeschooling video on the renaissance: damn this is a nice desk

I JUMPED, PEOPLE. SHOCK. ATTENTION INSTANTLY.

Brain hurt, have rant. Rant not made to offend anyone, just me complaining because I can and my autistic ass can’t understand stuff.

Okay, here’s the thing that bugs me about the rottmnt fandom so much.

Why, oh why, are the turtles all darker skinned when Lou is very clearly a light skin tone.

I’m not against this headcanon, it just makes my brain do a confuzzle.

Let’s break down how the turtles happened.

-basic turtles, with no human dna involved.

-Lou gets kidnapped. Note he probably hasn’t had human contact in years.

-Lou’s dna is added to the mutagen.

-turtles get mutated, Lou’s dna making them more human.

Now, dark skinned Asians is a thing, I acknowledge that. However, having four kids of dark skin tones when their only source of dna is from one parent, it doesn’t add up at all.

This function can best be compared to asexual reproduction in animals. When an animal reproduces on its own, without any other animal or intercourse involved, the dna and genetic makeup of that offspring should be near identical to the parent, with very little room for genetic mutation to take place.

In this scenario, Lou/Splinter technically reproduced asexually, meaning if the turtles were human, they would look uncannily similar to Lou Jitsu in his teen years.

“Oh, but what if he had the genetics for it?”

Unlikely. We see both lou’s mother and grandfather, and both of them are of a lighter skin tone, extremely similar to Lou’s own. Meaning, the chances of it happening aren’t impossible, but extremely, extremely low.

With the circumstances of the turtles being literal mutants in the genetic and sci-fi terms, it isn’t impossible for one of them to have a darker skin tone. But all four of them just does not add up. And Leo having albinism in some headcanons doesn’t make sense either. Two mutations at once really shouldn’t be able to happen (as far as I’m aware).

“Oh, but what about the racist undertones of raph’s ride along?”

Raph, if human, could easily fit the role of a delinquent, or rebellious teen. A lot of people give Raph tattoos while human. Tattoos aren’t exactly awesome in Japanese culture, (as far as I remember, correct me if I’m wrong) and are sometimes a sign of gang activity. We are not told how old heinous green and the mud dogs are, so they could be in similar age or full on adults. Plus, part of the whole gag of that episode is the cops of the hidden city are fucking morons. If Raph is indeed being racially profiled, it’s more on the terms of Japanese culture than American. They’re literally called yokai, the Japanese word for monster.

Okay rant over, feel free to correct me in the comments or tags or reboots or whatever.

Oh thank god.

But still like

My guy why did you win why are you here.
