[SFW] rottmnt! donatello shows love through the little things.
he makes you little trinkets that will hold value in your day-to-day life; like that coffee maker that brews your coffee just the way you like it,
or that subtle purple bracelet that can display a holographic of your daily statistics (your step count, reminders for your day)
it's the way he will forcefully drag himself from his beloved projects in order to spend time with you, as meaningless as it all seems - because he's with you, and that does mean something to him.
it's the way he has no idea what you're talking about, only half-heartedly humming whenever you ask him a question, solely focused on the way you animatedly talk - completely love drunk.
it's the way his guard is lowered in your presence, apparent from the rumbling churr emanating from where he's sitting at his work station - content completely to be in your vicinity, and not daring to break the serenity of the environment to ask for more.
it's the way he forgot how nice it felt to have someone caress soothing circles into his soft shell, becoming complete putty in your hands and melting on the spot - eyes shut, and slightly drooling from the way his body just... relaxes, loses any and all tension.
it's the way you're his first waking thought, and also his last waking memory before sleep takes him.
nicknames ; darling, sweetums, love of my life favourite date ; you, him, cuddled in bed, ready for a jupiter jim marathon

But since TMNT is hyped again, there's one more thing i would like to share with you.
Rise Leo and MM Leo would follow 2012 Leo around like ducklings.
OKAY YOU CRAZY PEOPLES, LET’S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.
So recently I’ve been thinking alot about the Bayverse boys heights, as I have seen many lovely TMNT blogs try and debunk (great job you lovely babes, I’m proud of you and accept your labeled heights). ANYWHORE *claps* lets get into this.
Anytime I happen to stumble upon and stub my toe on some of the very detailed Height HC’s about the boys, each picture that is used for reference is always a picture where the turtles are not standing in a line. So in my opinion (which isn’t always needed, lets be honest) I believe it makes it that much harder to tell how tall they really are.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not asking for a lineup to get their mugshots done, I’m just wondering if there would be a simpler way to tell their hei-
Oh…
Wait a minute…
I think there is…?
The line up scene at the end of TMNT Out of the Shadows is the perfect moment to properly capture the heights of our beloved terrapin boys. So don’t mind if I do and dive down the rabbit hole.
So first what I want to bring up is Laura Linneys height. Her height is going to play a key role in helping us determine just how tall the boys are. So in all actuality she stands at an average 5'7" tall. Let’s start comparing, shall we?
I know I know, I’m going off the charts by starting with Mikey first. But I’m here to tell you that there is a method to my madness. With Mikey being the shortest, I figured he would be a good starting point in determining heights when being compared to a human. And ever since the movies came out, I’ve always known that he never surpassed 6ft like his older brothers, because he really is the baby. Anywhore, as seen above I made a wonderful line going from Laura’s head to Mikeys. And would you look at that, they’re pretty much the same height. Let’s carry on shall we?
Next we’re gonna compare Donnie’s height to Laura’s. In this picture Donnie is most definitely slouching, but we still get the idea that he’s a jolly green giant right?
With the line added to the photo, and it going over both Raphael and Leonardo’s heads, it gives us a visual on how tall they are.
I got lazy the app i used kept crashing and didn’t make a height thingy for Leo or Raph. So I hope y'all don’t mind me just writing my thoughts out.
Looking at the line going from Donnie’s head and then over Raphs, we can determine that they are very close in height and that Raphael is the second tallest of the bayverse turtles. I’d say our hot head in red is about 6'6".
Now Leo on the otherhand, has a significant drop not like mikeys compared to Donnie. So after going through some measurements and staring at this photo for like a good 20 minutes, I have come to the conclusion that Leo is about 6'4" in height.
Disclaimer: everything said here is just my opinion and what I thought. Dont be butthurt…that’s not fun.
When Donnie touches the ground, he flinches.
His entire body tries to curl inward at the pain and he gives a tiny, barely audible gasp. Leo’s hand shoots up immediately.
He seems to hesitate, moving slowly and oh-so gently resting it on Donnie. And Donnie’s entire body relaxes.
His shoulders stiffen as his body acknowledges sudden contact against his chest, probably because that too is causing some pain.
AND YET: His mouth falls shut. The pain on his face smooths out. His head falls forward, his shoulders rise, all angling towards Leo.
And Leo’s eyes are what tells the entire story. They (expectantly) never leave him at any point and there’s not much expression to be noted outside of a mixture of sad/guilt/worried.
Then he lays his hand on Donnie.
And his little brother leans into it. He relaxes at the touch.
AND LEO’S ENTIRE FACE FALLS.
Out of everything happening right now, THAT’S what makes him look like he’s hurting. THAT’S what stops the leader from worrying and introduces the big brother who’s beyond disappointed in himself.
That tiny bit of subconscious comfort that Donnie reveals while leaning into the touch of the person who helped hurt him.
THAT is going to be what haunts him from this moment on.
Your voice might feel small, but it’s yours. Even if it’s shaky, even if it’s unsure, it’s still important. Don’t let doubt drown out what you have to say.
All I can think is that line from httyd 2.
Thinking about how MA Raph would look at Mona, hunched in and turning her head so Raph doesn't look at her scars. He gets closer and she backs away. "I'm not the same as you remember Raphael. I'm-...not as beautiful as you remember ."
Raph would gently touch her jaw to turn her head and look at him, to see the same love and devotion in his eyes all these years later.
"You're as beautiful as the day I lost you."
LOOK MAN YALL ARE TAKING THIS MA MONA LISA PLOTLINE AMD RUNNING WITH IT I LOVE YALL!!
BUT HE WOULD!! Raph slowly regaining flashes of he and Mona’s shared time together and it’s a morbid but warranted curiosity to see just how much she’s changed. How much they’ve both changed. After they get re-established with one another I’d like to think he always rests a gentle hand on Mona’s scarred side. 1, for warmth cause sometimes it twinges when she eats and 2, just because she always ends up leaning against it. Which he cherishes always.
Also the idea that he holds her face often just so he won’t forget her— he does this with his brothers too and Mira 😭
I adore AU where MK is actually Wukongs and Macaques son 😭 if anyone knows a good fanfic, please share 🙏
This is basically a scene that I have in my head, where Macaque comes back to flower fruit mountain (from collecting some necessary things for the ritual thag they're gonna do to get a kid) to see Wukong has finished carving the stone monkey (their soon to be kid)
I think I will post more brainrot sketches and scenes. Hopefully inspiration won't leave me XD
next
