ALRIGHT ALRIGHT HEAR ME OUT ON THIS ONE

Lunella Lafayette (from Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur) x Rise! Donnie

(Photo for reference)

My Reasons:

Lunella’s 13 in the show, Donnie’s 14 in the show (and still in the movie if we’re going with the intent/headcanon the writers had of it taking place a few months after the show instead of a few years, or age Lunella up if you want to)

They’re both super nerds who would absolutely geek over each other’s technology. Lunella freaking out over the Turtle Tank and S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. and Donnie freaking out over her super suit, it would be pretty adorable

Lunella (for those who haven’t watched the show AND TOTALLY SHOULD) has a Jewish Puerto-Rican friend named Casey so not ONLY could Leo get a Spanish-speaking friend but he could also joke he knows THREE Caseys

Imagine the scenario: it’s your typical patrol. Both parties happen to get word of a crime happening at the edge of the Lower East Side. Maybe it’s one of Moon Girl’s villain-of-the-week or maybe it’s the Foot Clan or whatever. Both parties roll up, COMPLETELY not expecting the other. Maybe they accidentally mistake each other as the bad guy. Maybe Lunella’s have heard of urban myths of the TMNT and maybe Donnie’s a Moon Girl fan and they end up fangirling over each other only for the villain to completely get away. EITHER WAY it’s a great hilarious scenario.

For my fellow avid Moon Girl watchers, we all know that girl can SPIT BARS (that one symbiote episode if you know you know) and so not only would she be Donnie’s equal in intelligence but also in musically speaking

Look either way rather they start as rivals or fangirls or whatever they would work

They’re both proud parents and would TOTALLY set up a play date between Devil Dinosaur and S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N.

MUST I KEEP LISTING REASONS I’M PRETTY SURE I MADE MY CASE but I WILL reblog this with even more if I must

I like how now that both leosagi and shellshocked are popular in rottmnt fandom so now people are trying to find a crossover pairing for both Donnie and Raph. Either reblog or reply with who you crossover ship them with and what theyre from, im curious!
