#ngl though i keep getting distracted by the jello XD

I had a dream months ago (don't ask me about time idk how that works, sometime in the last two years) about the 2012 turtles that didn't make sense and wasn't really in character but I still think about it because, it's only juuust believable enough to make it interesting to think about what possible situation could lead to it being in character.

they were trying to set up some kind of banquet? I think someone important was visiting. My brain apparently didn't feel like coming up with food items because it just made everything different containers of apple jello, which the turtles treated like different dishes

Anyway they kept arguing over random things, where to place food, what side the fork goes on, who was supposed to vacuum etc.

And at one point Leo and Raph got into it, not even that intense just having a disagreement over the seating or something. They were both being aggressive for no real reason but it was just verbal.

So. Leo raised his voice a bit, and Donnie, who was alllll the way across the room, vaulted himself immediately directly between them, in ready fighting stance facing Leo, and said with much more anger than either Raph or Leo had had about whatever silly detail they were arguing about

"You do not yell at Raph or you deal with me"

And that confused me so much I woke up immediately XD

But I'm still turning it over in my head because... what could have happened to Raph recently that Donnie's that protective?

Like it was clearly just a random nonsense amalgamation of details strung together by my subconscious mind (apple jello), but I'm still rotating it in my head trying to analyze it as if it were a canon scene in need of a fix-it fic. Donnie doesn't usually have that kind of anger in his eyes, why was that directed at Leo? And why was Raph meekly standing back letting Donnie protect him as if he doesn't argue with Leo every day? Who hurt them.

Like I know I made it up and barely that but like. I need to know
