nvm my last ask I didn’t see the reblog. But I am curious tho what is your opinion on Raph?

I really like Raph! I think his character is really interesting! Like, he really cares about his family and his brothers but he just gets angry and doesn't have the tools to deal with that in the healthiest way. I can relate to that, especially when I reflect on when I was 15. Its not easy being 15 in the best of circumstances, and he's like, completely isolated from the world and has only had 4 people to interact with his entire life, not to mention living in close quarters with them with no where else to go? Like yeah, I imagine all of them are a little ill-equipped for healthy social interactions lol.

I also head cannon him as autistic, and sometimes project my own autistic traits onto him, like over stimulation leading to snapping at people, drumming as stimming, and the way he just hangs out with the others without doing what they're doing? Like he's always reading or working out or something but he's always in the main space? like parallel play.

Tl;dr, I really like Raph lol.
