12 Donnie to me feels like someone desperate for validation and someone who has some pretty severe envy and disphoria going in due to his species. Don't get him wrong he love his family, loves being a ninja turtle... but he also wishes he could be human to. He wants to be able to go out and do kotmal things, be recognized as a scientist, go to school, walk in the light of day, and lsot importantly, find someone to spend his life with. Unlike the other turtles Donnie feels like someone who wants a partner in life and feels that if he misses the chance he has now with April, the first human he's ever met, nobody else could possibly love him. That's why he probably hangs kn to his crush so tightly, despite knowing it's unlikely, because he feels that if he gives up hope than he might as well give up any chance of ever finding the love and validation he craves.

TLDR Donnie wants to be human and wanted to date April because he doesn't feel anyone else could love a turtle mutant without they themselves being mutants or aliens and that's not what he's looming for in a partner.

Yeah this is basically what I was getting at in that last post about him and April. While I don't doubt that Donnie has actual romantic feelings for her, I don't think they come from a very genuine place if that makes sense. And this kind of fear explains his irrational behavior of stalking and coddling her (not an excuse, but it's easy to see why he jumps to do these things because he's so paranoid).

Donnie is just... a very short sighted person. Because he has a pretty decent range of friends and people who actually want to know him (CASEY), but he's too obsessed with his inferiority that he doesn't consider letting those people in. I honestly think Donnie still took the wrong message away from that Big Foot episode because he walked away from it still believing April didn't like him because he's a mutant, and not because he's a fucking weirdo to her. He's so caught up in what he isn't or what he can't be that it stunts a lot of his growth as a person. Honestly, I can't blame him for that, he's quite literally an out cast from human society, that has to be hard to process as a teenager! But hey, your character can't grow without flaws first.

Kadadora Viharaya - Kothmale, SriLanka

Kadadora Viharaya is an abandoned Buddhist temple situated in Kadadora in the Nuwara Eliya district. The temple was submerged in water due to the construction of the Kotmale Dam in 1979 under the Mahaweli Development Project. The ruins of this abandoned Buddhist temple can still be seen when the water level of the Kotmale Reservoir goes down, although it is a very rare sight. Photo credit @niluka_fonseka

The water flows through a narrow gap in the rocks and then widens, forming the shape of leaf of a “bo” tree which is the Sinhalese name for sacred fig. (Ficus religiosa). “path” means leaves of a tree and “ella” means waterfall. Virgin forests with a rich biodiversity surround the waterfall. Bopath ella is 30meters high.

The Moon smiles at “The Kotmale Mahaweli Maha Seya”, one of the largest stupas in Sri Lanka.

As in the name, it is located in Kotmale, Sri Lanka, and overlooks the Kotmale reservoir. When I visited it, the sun had already set, and it was a place of tranquility, silence, and understanding. It was the perfect time to take a picture of its grandeur. 

I decided that capturing the second image would display the valuable gems stored inside a golden mini stupa, with a painting of deities in the background.

The Maha Seya also contains a valuable Topaz gem placed on it, another one of its features. Consider it a valuable visit when you are here in Sri Lanka.
