As overwhelming of a situation Donnie has found himself in, he's also incredibly curious, because the truth of his origin is something he's always wondered about but never gotten an answer to. Because of that, he agrees to sit down and let his supposed Long Lost Family explain everything to him.

Mikey already has a whole presentation (that's not at all a bit biased and inaccurate) prepared and ready to go in the event that they would eventually find their Long Lost Brother, so Donnie is able to get everything explained to him pretty quickly. They also explain to him what yōkai are and about The Hidden City when they find out that he's been completely isolated from any of that his entire life.

And this gives Donnie quite a bit to think about, because how much about his past did Splinter know? He'd always been very cagey about both of their pasts. It's entirely possible that he was ignorant about Donnie's connection to Lou Jitsu, but he must've known about the secret yōkai-society all around them right? Donnie grew up so lonely and isolated because, being what he was, he couldn't just partake in human-society. But in The Hidden City he's... normal? It would've given him the opportunity to make friends, get an education, not have to hide from everyone. So why would Splinter keep him away from that life... unless he was trying to also keep him away from his family.

It's... uncomfortable to think about, to say the least. And with everything else crazy that has happened to him this day, Donnie isn't really in the correct headspace to unpack All Of That.

Anyway, Donnie is quickly distracted from his spiraling when Draxum compliments his tech and-

Donnie has officially been won over! New Parental Figure Aquired! ...Until Donnie learns a bit more about what exactly Draxum is scheming lol but we'll get there eventually :) For now Donnie is very excited to get to know his Long Lost Family!

Ok ok hear me out

Little prince Donnie's first turtle pile cuddle

ooooh my god he would absolutely be so confused and uncomfortable at first with so much like touching and physical affection and he would pretend that he hates it but literally not even two seconds later he's fast asleep with the biggest smile on his face and he's so warm and comfy cozy

Happy Movie Anniversary everyone!! Have some Future EW Mikey!

Also I’m the biggest idiot. I put a note FOREVER ago that Mikey took to wearing Splinter’s glasses, after he dies, but I’ve been making them round in everything, and I think it confused some ppl that he was wearing Donnie’s glasses. Ooop 🫣 sorry guys my memory is just shot.

It's been a while since I've reblogged this series. But anyway, now that we are here with some much wanted context to, yk, before Donnie's brothers found him and all that, It never occurred to me that they actually DID in fact YOINK HIM away from April and Splints without hesitation.

And, well, of course, they've been bringing random Yokai turtles over the years to Draxum's lab thinking they were their "long lost brother". I mean, it's cute and all, but imagining how often they've encountered other turtle creatures over the years, that must have gotten annoying real fast for Drax.

I also love seeing the suddle differences and similarities in the timeliness. Things happening in different places, at different times..learning about things at different times, under different circumstances. Yk, that whole gist. It's pretty nice finding comics like these that really go into touch with the world of Rise. People who really know the characters and who are able to be a little creative yet stay in line with what's cannon.

It's also nice seeing the very short time that Draxum, Raph, Leo, and Mikey have with Donnie before they realize he isn't on "their side" and has been "brainwashed" by the humans and Splints.

And ah, Donnie's first compliment from a parent aged adult ever, lmao.

Also, I just wanna say thankthankTHANKYOU for your extra info dumping about the characters. I mean, we don't really need it, but it's just nice getting your thought process behind everyone's what's, why's, how's, etc. It makes me happy. I love this AU so bad :]]]]]
