#donnatelo rise

I live and breathe for the hc that donnie and mikey are both on the aroace spectrum (all of them are tbh, but i think those two are just more close to the strict spectrum so i feel more connected to them, mikey would be strictly aroace and donnie could be grey-aroace biromantic) and they bond because of that.

So I'll probably write a fic about it but I'll try to sum up my idea of how they figured it out.

Donnie kind of already knew, he never bothered to look into a name for it, but he knew he liked guys and girls, but never really LIKED them yk what i mean? He had crushs but they never lasted more than a week so he never really bothered telling anyone about it

When Leo starts dating Usagi and they spend a great part of their time in the lair, Mikey starts acting weird all of sudden towards them and Leo thinks mikey's mad at him because he's dating a boy, he knows there's probably another reason but he can't force himself to ask mikey, because yeah okay, he said it was okay if he was gay and would always love his brother, but waht if he didn't??

One time when Donnie went to the kitchen to het coffe in the middle of the night, he passed through mikey's bedroom and heard someone crying, so he decided to check. Mikey was the one crying.

After trying to calm him down, he asks his little brother what's wrong and Mikey just goes "Donnie why does Leo gets to date someone and I don't?"

Donnie doesn't get it at first "Well, you're still 15, it's fine if you didn't find anyone-"

"I don't want to find anyone," he would say "I mean I do, i just, don't feel like it's gonna happen, it's confusing-" he tries to explain "I want to fall for someone, but at the same time I don't like the idea of having to date someone or even liking them romantically, it's like wanting what you can't have"

It takes a few more tries and explanations from Mikey but when Donnie finally understands what mikey means by that, he tells him about how he kinda feels the same.

They take Donnies phone and decide to look it up on the internet and find out about the aroace spectrum, and god, finding a label that actually fits them is somewhat comforting. Eventually Mikey comes out to the family and talks to Leo about it, and Leo's relieved to know his little brother doesn't hate him for being queer.

Being aroace might suck sometimes, principally when everything around you starts to revolves around romance, and people actually expect you to fall in love at any moment, but it kind of gets a little bit better when you have someone around that you know feels something similar to you.

It's getting late but here have some memes before bed

So... @somerandomdudelmao

[kimtiny]

I hate any and each of these that can imitate the style of the serie easily /j

[cleaning-my-stained-glasses]

I had it downloaded and let me tell you!

It's so good! Just from a quick skim I had a smile stretched across my face. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

It has segments that range between quite a few different topics. From self-expression, a beginner friendly guide to curly hair and brunch or pictures of brothers in cute outfits!

Say bye bye toxic masculinity!

And the artwork!!!

There is so many artists and so many different art styles!

And not only the artwork!

Content and text itself is interesting and easy to understand.

More importantly- comprehensible, even for someone like me, whom English is a second language.

OH MY GODS WHEN I TELL YOU ITS PERFECTION

I'm kinda broke so I couldn't get the phisical version.

However

there is a FREE online format download option!

This is completely from-fans for-fans project and from my understanding the cost of the phisical version is just to cover the materials and print cost.

The creators look pretty open minded about quite a few important topics and kind in general. I've never been a magazine person but boi this is simply too good pass.

Thank you everyone who contributed on making it! It can be seen that a lot of hard work went into it and the vibe just feels wholesome.

Lots of love and light your way, whoever and wherever you are~

🎉 And we’re live!! 🎉 

The Style on the Rise zine is now available to download! Visit our website to get it for free!

Lol i havent made a rant post in a long time, that being said I really wish we could have seen the future of the turtles being explored more. I think the Archie comics did the most with the turtles being grown up like Raphael being married, Michelangelo being an comic artist, Donnatelo being a big shot in the technology industry, Leonardo being a ninja master and the stories after.

The Last Ronin touched this topic but we never really get to see what the turtles lives were like as they became full grown adults. Raphael dies fairly young, with Donnie and Leo fallowing years later, and we never get to see how their lives are on a day to day, just the end of it.

2003 had Same As It Never Was featuring the turtles as adults but once again not really how their lives was, obviously we know it wasn't pleasant but we never got to see Leo and Raph's fall out or how Mikey handled being without his brothers and so on.

2012 had that apocalyptic future episode, which I'm pretty sure was established to be one of many possiable outcomes for the turtle's future.

Even the new RISE movie is once again exploring a apocalyptic outcome with the adult turtles

I know the focus is TEENAGE mutant ninja turtles but it would be nice to see the turtles have a nice ending for a change instead of something tragic. I think thats the possibility the current IDW comics are trying to make with mutant town which is nice but clearly there wont be any peace any time soon.

Also just a side pet peeve why dont any of the turtles have/adopt some kids! Master Splinter deserves some grandkids he can spoil!

This is sort of a meme that came to mind in response to chapter 9 of Rotten Reflections. I wholeheartedly recommend this fanfic to everyone who loves turtles 2012, Rise and likes to feel TOO MUCH while reading. 

 Taken during a break on SHRINE pt2, don't worry, it's in production ;P 

 Who can guess where this scene is from?
