Donnie has book smarts

Leo has strategic smarts (and a bit of street smarts and maybe people smarts?)

Mikey has emotional intelligence

And Raph has common sense, something the others barely seem to have

"all of rise share one braincell and most of the time donnie has the braincell" wrong it's raph and it's raph by a lot

sure raph may be a little sillay sometimes and Does First Asks Later but donnie has repeatedly eaten harmful substances, started rapping in a library knowing that getting caught would put him in Baby Jail, and got screamed at by raph to stop destroying manhattan and his reaction was just wow these graphics are amazing . raph had genuine reason to believe that donnie (along with leo and mikey) did not know what a week was. donnie is very tech-savvy but he lacks reason and has to be repeatedly reigned in or prevented by raph from doing stupid or maniacal shit . anyways now onto my essay about why this makes brains and brawn the funniest fucking dynamic in the show

#raph will occasionally have a bit of fun and tomfoolery #but he is the one who is most likely to stay on task #even if his execution is off #now that i think about it #the only episode where donnie specifically was the one with the brain cell was in ‘Donnie’s Gifts’#and the episode where he tried to make the bros more like him #but even then he didn’t really hold the braincell #he only held it at the very beginning of those two episodes #then he proceeded to try and solve these issues in the most unhinged ways possible #raph is low intelligence on most every area (books/strategy/mental health) but he is still somehow the least idiotic person on the team #(I mean idiotic in a very affectionate and loving way)
