OK so lemme just—
I know this seems like a wild take but I stick by it. On the surface Raph and Shredder may seem very similar but I truly think Donnie has a bit more in common with him instead
The only thing Raph and Shredder have in common, to me at least, is rage.
Rage isn't all who Shredder is. Rage isn't all who Raph is either, but their anger is different. Raph's more emotional in his anger, more reactive. If someone pisses him off he shows how he feels immediately. He's not the type to bide his time and form a plan. He's also not a very good leader, as seen when he froze up in New Girl in Town.
But Shredder is.
He's cold and calculated in his plans even when blinded by rage and seeking revenge. He's extremely cunning and dedicated to his goals and will stop at nothing to achieve them, even if it involves taking the life of someone who's wronged him, no matter what anyone says or what he has to do.
So, does that remind you of anyone?
Out of all the turtles, Donnie, as far as I know, is the only one to have an arc that revolves around him trying to kill someone out of revenge for a past incident and having to be taught otherwise. Leo hasn't, Mikey hasn't, and Raph hasn't either. From what I know, it's only been Donnie.
And of course I can't talk about parallels without bringing up the love triangle between him, April and Casey.
It's obvious that Donnie doesn't like Casey at first, because he's jealous. Jealous because of his feelings for April and towards himself and how Casey manages to tear everything apart. He saw him as a love rival and feared for the day that April chooses Casey over him, so he lashed out.
Shredder was jealous because Tang Shen chose Splinter over him. He was consumed by his feelings and lashed out as well, although he had more fatal consequences.
Thankfully the love triangle never got to the point of murder obviously, but Donnie and Casey very much fought a lot because of their affection for April, just like Shredder, Splinter and Tang Shen.
Admittedly a lot of this is a reach and maybe a bit surface level but I've wrote enough and figured I should get this off my chest somehow °3°
I'm kinda in the mood for some 12! Donnie angst so I wanna get the ball rolling by mentioning how I think he has more similarities with the Shredder than Raph does :p
I have random fanart saved and I can't remember who made them so I settled for the first character that wasn't from someone else's work and
Normally I'd say safe but right now he looks kinda pissed

:p
You’re stuck in a room with the last character in your gallery. How safe are you?
Thanks for the tag, @poetique823!
I mean, he’s a ninja and a hero, so I’d think I’m pretty safe 💜
Honestly, I think he’s more concerned with what I’ll do to him :)

So, I'm kinda at a point where I'm a bit strapped for ideas, and I figured I should do a poll so it can sort itself out
(I'll make content for the others in order of 2nd and 3rd place)

This is a wheel with 250 fandoms, people, topics, specific words, etc. Spin it once.
Whatever you landed on has completely disappeared from Tumblr. Any posts including or referencing it have vanished, and none will ever be made again. No one else notices its absence, and no one else will ever ask about it.
Art that's technically supposed to be AU related but there's not much that gives it away so it's like whatever lol
just learned people associate em dashes with chat gpt. Girl fuck you. You can pry em dashes from my cold dead hands. One of us is gonna have to stop using em— and it’s not gonna be me!
I have another idea ☝️🤓
I'm so PISSED I wanted to make an analysis about Rise Donnie and 12 Donnie's dynamic and how Rise probably wouldn't even bat an eye regarding 12's stalkerish tendencies but I CAN'T bc STUPID UGLY Tumblr only allows ONE (1) video per post fuck EVERYTHING AGDXFKJ
