Me: "Man, I can't wait to design Donnie. He's my favorite!" ๐
Also Me: *designs this goofball*
XD guys he's so ugly I love him
I didn't know there was an AC repair guy upstairs talking to my parents but he came down just in time to see me (lounging on the couch in sweat pants and eating a large slice of chocolate cake) yell at my dog (who was squeaking his toy obsessively like the little sociopath he is) "EXCUSE ME SIR BUT WILL YOU RESPECTFULLY SHUT UP??!!" All while my phone was playing 'You Spin Me Round' by Dead or Alive on full blast.
This is why I can't be around people.

Since people liked it i made a toy that works on the computer: https://nick-nonya.itch.io/trampoline-toy Have fun!
LEO CHRISSAKE LOOK AT THE ROAD-
It's canonically stated that Lockwood doesn't like sugar in his tea. (I believe it was in the Creeping Shadow)
So I now have a firm belief that Lucy puts sugar in Lockwoodโs tea whenever she's pissed at him. He might already know she's upset, so sometimes the sweet taste is not a surprise to him. But other times, when he's unaware of what she's feeling, he sips his tea and gets a surprise -oh f*ck I did something what did I do???- moment.
The amount of sugar also depends on the severity of what he did. Sometimes he doesn't even taste it, there's so little. Other times his tea is the consistency of mud.
One time in particular Lucy offered him his cup just as she always did. He took it with thanks and went to take a drink when he looked down.
There was no tea.
She handed him a cup of sugar.
Lockwood had never been more afraid in his life.
I would put Rise Leo in the first category but I think we all know he can very much do wrong. MM Raph is also a baby but he's a very violent one
Ok here's my actual opinions
(This isn't necessarily about whether I think they're good characters, it's more about how individually compelling I find each of them)
(Except the jail category. They just suck.)
Oh man I totally forgot to add the Donnie/Raph Duo! Also, all of these are completely correct and I would die for any of them to happen.
#giveDonniehisfashionmontagebecausewewererobbed
-More Apritello (wait don't leave yet!)
-It doesn't need to be romantic (although they have such a good dynamic I honestly wouldn't mind if they did as long as it was done right)
-but seriously, they're just chaotic together and I need more of that
-Along those lines I also feel like there needs to be more one on one time with April and Leo as well as April and Raph
-Like??
-Both duos are so good and they just don't get enough screen time at all
-Also, I need the turtles + Splinter to actually meet April's parents
-Did I know I needed this until I saw the disaster twins psyched for a nice dinner in their matching sweater vests? No.
-Do I need it now more than ever? Y e s.
-I also need them to actually acknowledge the events of the movie and not just brush past it like it was no big deal. Let it come up later. Let the rest of the turtles be just-barely-noticeably a lot more overprotective when it comes to Leo. Don't tell me they would almost lose him like that and continue letting him be reckless all the time.
-GIVE. ME. MORE. CASEY.
-You CANNOT just add her to the mix and dip like that. I NEED to see how she fits in with the group. Will her and Donnie be completely unhinged together? Absolutely. Will Splinter dote on her like she's his daughter and she'll absolutely love it and swear to make him proud? Probably. Will her and April be an absolute girl boss team together and probably have sleepovers while gossiping about whatever? Y e s. Will she be completely unused to getting positive reinforcement and being part of an actual family who loves her even if she makes mistakes? For sure. But will she adore it? Um, yes!
-Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo
-Will this poor boy be immediately overwhelmed with this responsibility and continuously doubt himself? Yes. But Raph would be giving him tips and pointers the entire time because he KNOWS how stressful it is to keep everyone in line and stop them from getting hurt or worse. Let Leo come to terms with his role and realize he's actually really good at it! Let him be so relieved to finally feel like he has a place on the team and isn't actually a useless screw-up.
-Alternatively, show us how Raph feels about this development! Will he be proud of his little brother for stepping up? Of course! But maybe, just maybe, he goes through some withdrawals? Maybe he has a hard time remembering that he's not in charge anymore and Leo is the one calling the shots. Maybe he feels a little lost on his place in the team now that he isn't the leader. Would his brothers immediately reassure him that he's still irreplaceable and is just as important to the team now as he was before? Yes, but it still might take him some time to get used to that.
-Mikey Magic. Magic Mike. (Jk)
-You really can't tell us Mikey is some powerful mystic warrior and not expect us to want more answers. Can he control it? Or is it fuelled by fear and desperation? Can he learn to harness his power without his brothers absorbing the energy with him? If done correctly, does this potentially open the stage to Mikey being able to time travel whenever he chooses? That could be interesting.
-Soft Shell Donnie
-Maybe it's just my desire for angst, but I think we should see more of Donnie without his battle shell. It would certainly make for more dramatic fight scenes if that vulnerability was exposed more.
Here are a few more minor ones that have zero plot relevance but I just think would be neat:
-Raph should get some sort of pet
-The turtles should occasionally make little chirps and hisses like real turtles do
-April should have a bigger wardrobe
-We should see Mikey actually graffiti something (I know he's the artsy one but have we ever actually seen him paint something??)
-I would love an episode centered around a hatred fueled disaster twin prank war. (Each prank gets progressively more crazy and dangerous until the others have to eventually interfere so they don't kill each other)
-Let Donnie perform a musical number like the absolute theater kid he is (other than a rap?)
-Random, but I also think it'd be funny if Mayhem had a growth spurt and was actually meant to be the size of a tiger. Plus April could ride him into battle like the badass she is.
That's all I could think of for now. Feel free to chime in any ideas you have!
Natsu: Do you wanna play 20 questions?
Lucy: Sure what's your favorite food?
Natsu, laser focused: Triangle. What color hair do you think our kids would have?
