Tmnt 2012 Donnie - Blog Posts

hi. small 2012 sketch dump be upon you

based on someone irl finding out i was a tmnt fan, asking who my fav was, and being like "oh but not 2012 donnie right 😆" like um. get my babygirls name out of your mouth

The surrounding fill bucket feature in Ibispaint is pretty cool

Mini comic where Donnie gives Casey a heartfelt gift ! 🎁✨ Lmao

Imagine if Donnie had given April like a super personal photo in that music box that he made for her in Season 3 (EP 2 "A Foot Too Big"-),, Maybe a photo of April and her Mother from when she was a child or something equally creepy given how personal it is / something April didn't go out of her way to share with Donnie?? Like where would he have even gotten that picture in the first place- 💀 Lmao

Also Leo / Mikey / and Raph (especially) all heavily disapprove of this gift, just like April does- I just didn't draw them,, 😔👍

(Sorry I didn't color this one this time around, I just was not in the mood to do all of that- Lmao)

Here's my collection of doodles from the Whiteboard from today ! ✨

I was having fun while doing the 2012 Jonatello art, but then some stupid shit happened (IRL) and that put me in a mood, which is why the 2012 April centric drawings are what they are- Lmao || But I like talking about those things anyway, so it's still a win for me-

Also Big Top Burger mention, because I love Big Top Burger- 😌

(Sorry for so much writing this time around- I hope it's even remotely legible in these images,, 💀😭)

one of my moots was yappin about this shit but I AGREE SO MUCH

there are so many sad scenes in tmnt 2012 where donnie has genuine body dysmorphia, even going as far as to call himself a monster in some cases (if I remember correctly)

in that one episode when they face their "greatest fears" donnie's is the idea of april seeing him as just a freak of nature (despite the fact she does little to imply this thought and none of his brothers share this fear, most likely because they've never viewed themselves as monsters the way donnie has seen himself throughout the series)

none of the others ever see their mutation as negative in anyway other than donnie, although it is useful, it often feels as if it makes him feel like a freak undeserving of love

idk man wanted to share my thoughts on this @phewgitoid has a better post about this stuff

Also more Toxic Casey because I need it in my life right now-😔👍 Lmao /hj 🖤💜

A small comic revolving around the concept of Casey being toxic in his own way- 🖤💜

I don't know what unearthly force compelled me to do this comic out of nowhere, but I did- LMAO || I wish I could've set this situation up better (Like showing Donnie behaving in similar ways he did with April toward Casey instead-) and I was going to do one more panel to concluded this better (Where the Brothers + April don't find either of them at Casey's apartment and it turns out the left together in the Shellraiser or something like that-) but I'm super tired,, 😔👍

I really wanted Casey's actions (His lack of response to his texts / missed calls, the way he hovers by the door just listening, and lastly his failed attempt at hiding his smile at the end-) to reflect (what I feel would be) his toxicity in this relationship dynamic with Donnie- How he craves the attention, at the expense of Donnie's well being and the worry of his friends. How addicting it would be for him to be the center of someone's universe and knowing it - Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he would do whatever he needed to do to ensure Donnie's attention stayed on him, you know? 👀✨

Just something I like to think about sometimes ! (This also balances things out in my opinion, since I dislike the concept of Donnie being "the problem" alone- You know?) || Also I deliberately tried to make Donnie's dialogue in this comic as creepy (Or just uncomfortable / awkward-) as possible, especially in the last panel- 👍✨
