#donnie is a theater kid

ROTTMNT x RTC

Masssssterpooosssst

(with commentary)

He plays Ocean much differently than most people, he’s much more openly logistical and sarcastic. Insisted on still wearing his googles, no one could tell him not to.

The wig is blonde because he wouldn’t shut up. Raph gets angry every time he does the original version, loves doing it anyway to mess with him. His interpretation is much more confident and a little less fancy (only a little). Didn’t actually do the kiss with April because gross, they called in some hot guy to do it. (Who could it be? Per chance your OC?)

The first time she did emotional acting everyone was flabbergasted. She put a lot of effort into getting herself to the point of “Talia”. Tries to get everyone a little solo moment in “This Song Is Awesome”. Had to do Ukrainian Duolingo for weeeks. It took her FOREVER to convince Cass to take the Talia videos with her, but it was definitely worth it.

Has to be carried around everywhere and doesn’t talk at all pre-death. They connected his voice to the stage speakers so he could talk without actually talking. As well as everyone saying that he is in fact flying. Leo gave him a master class in glam rock and he read a TON of sci-fi graphic novels. REFUSED to say the original “0101011” line, he was very offended that it didn’t mean anything. Now he has a little solo where he says “01001101 01101111 01101110 01100101 01111001”. He and Don built a bunch of bots to be the Zolarians. Don is very proud of his boi <3<3<3

Nobody expected him to be THAT GOOD at being creepy, he loves soaking in their scared expressions. He learned to cast a spell that alters his voice so he can hit them HIGGGGGHH notes. (That’s the thing around his neck). Does all his own tricks by using his ninpo to fly and his chains to make the spirals. He is by FAR the best at stage crying

Doesn’t have enough fingers for the recorder, so he settled for the kazoo. Wasn’t very good at the Jawbreaker Monologue at first, but he figured out that he could do it if he just thought about his family and all they had gone through. The “seeing my baby brother dance naked to ABBA” line changes every time he does it. At first it was “dance naked to MARINA”, “dance naked to David Bowie”, or “dance naked to Ke$ha”. But he got more and more specific with stuff they’ve done as time went on. Needless to say, his brothers hate it.

Took some time to convince him to be in the show, but once he said “yes” he was ALL IN. He adores sassing Donnie, maybe a little too much…

Permanently salty that he has no lines and wrote his own just to spite his sons. “Plays” an inflatable bass.

Alright, that’s all I got. Let me know what I missed or any details you think I should add! Thank you so much for reading all the way through <3<3<3

If by a chance - IF - Donnie joined the drax brothers what his outfit would be?

Like... deadass?

Like deadass.

As in he'd literally just steal this particular Megamind outfit, no question about it.

Rise Donnie is every chronic ensemble member theater kid who has perfect grades. Dramatic, ridiculously intelligent and talented but rarely get a chance to show it, one step below burnt out, a little insecure and jealous, and casually unhinged.

Like they have to be held back from “accidentally” pushing the kid who got the lead they wanted off the stage right before opening night. They got disqualified from the science fair, which they thought was ridiculous because their entry was only a little lethal. They don’t sleep. They run on six cups of coffee and prayers. They didn’t make the talent show, so there was no talent show due to a “mysterious” technical malfunction that made the stage too dangerous. They do occasionally break out into song but adamantly deny it because they’re “not that kind of theater kid” and if you caught them, no you didn’t. They’re morally gray at best, a completely immoral and uncontrollable danger to society at worst, and every inconvenience gives them a reason. You don’t want to fuck with them.

I swear I’m normal about them I swear I swear-

They’re the disaster twins. How can I be normal about them-

Being autistic with ADHD means both at the same time.

[donnie-and-their-backup-turtles]

i kinda think part of why people treat donnie as less caring than he is is like. sometimes not knowing when he's joking? like that time he threatens to be "semi-lethal" when splinter's in the truck with meat sweats. like i'm sure most of you knew he was joking but like. do some of you realise he like, would not have done that? like remember how he was sad? when splinter actually got hurt? same with leo in the movie? and all of them at every other time?

like he's self proclaimed funniest. and also a mad scientist aesthetic doesn't make a character a villain by itself it's what you actually do with that (yes he has done bad things within that area (haunted stare towards mind meld) but you have to admit he like. did fix those. and feel bad and hopefully learn his lesson but hey that's another analysis)

i have mixed feelings on villain donnie stuff, as an example, because like. ANY character put in a situation where they lose their way is really fun and if in character is really interesting as to what could cause that.

but when it's treated as like. inevitable. who he is, or phrasing his brothers are the only thing stopping him being evil. it's like hm. ugh. kind of hurts a bit actually but that's probably because i relate to him ghfdjk

like the seen in snow day with the tech bo chainsaw like. all he really DOES is cut a snowman there but he's just like. leaning into being "evil" with the chainsaw but like he's just being silly with it. acting like that's proof of anything is wild to me, without any other data points.

also kind of separate but i think there's a dissonance between what is like. seen as evil? between me and like most people lol. like the scene in the movie as well with like "finally, man and machine, entwixt in perfect bionic synergy" someone i watched it with was like "haha evil moment" or whatever where i was just like. yeah real that would be rad as hell. honestly gender also.

not saying he's never done anything wrong but i am saying he immediately tries to fix all of those things

anyway he does have a really interesting relationship with morals in my eyes but like, at his core he really cares about people, you know?

this isn't hate to anyone btw i just care about donnie a lot as a character and as really layered autistic representation

Donny Osmond while rehearsing Joseph is such a mood

A2 Rise!Donnie with hewwo?

[idontgetpaidenoughforthisshit]

Partway into season one of rottmnt, and its extremely obvious that Donnie gets the Theatre Kid from Draxum. They literally did the exact same thing as one another within 5 minutes, it was hilarious and exactly like father like son 😂

Donnie when he gets home: *Slams some door to announce his presence. maybe he brought it with so he could do that-* DID YOU KNOW I WAS REALTED TO LOU JITSU????

Splinter: *nearly has a heart attack*

Believe it or not Anon, but this is EXACTLY how I planned it to go down in the AU XD

To me, Donnie gives off theater kid energy.

[tvb0y]

Sometimes I just want to break out in son-

MARY KATE AND ASHLEY I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND. THAT I LOVE YOU A LOT AND I WANT TO BE YOUR MANN

AND I THINK, THAT IT WOULD BE TOTALLY COOL, IF I HUNG AROUND YOUR APARTMENTS AND ENROLLED IN YOUR SCHOOL !!!!!!

( This Is My current vocal stim lol )

[cosmos-of-cows]

Okay I understand I pretty much said the same thing the other day but there is such a specific energy to my dnd character that I need people to understand…

If Donatello from rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles was allowed to be a supervillain with the flair of Megamind but the weird personality of Captain Jack Sparrow. Specifically how he holds a reputation but the things he does shouldn't actually work and he's a bit weird specifically in the sense of when Orland Bloom's character says, "has he always been so..." then wiggles his fingers in the first pirates of the Caribbean movie (the curse of the black pearl). That with the visual style of Megamind and previously mentioned ninja turtle but the way some artists will draw him as a human with a hint of theater kid energy meets mad scientist.

This character is a halfling wizard named Skrillex (like the band) who is 3ft tall and was previously a war general. Wonky stuff happens that they don’t remember and they wake up somewhere they don’t know in someone else’s clothes. The campaign hasn’t even started yet because we’re all on winter break but I feel like I need to draw this character however my art ability is very lacking.
