Been doing a lot of studies since finishing University (oh yeah I’m graduating soon btw), and it’s only just occurred to me I can draw my favourite skrunklies for studies.
The joys of artistry!
Here’s some additional sneak peaks of other Gachiakuta-based studies, that I hope I finish eventually but we’ll see ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ
A small list of random ass sites I’ve found useful when writing:
Fragrantica: perfume enthusiast site that has a long list of scents. v helpful when you’re writing your guilty pleasure abo fics
Just One Cookbook: recipe site that centers on Japanese cuisine. Lots of different recipes to browse, plenty of inspiration so you’re not just “ramen and sushi”
This comparing heights page: gives you a visual on height differences between characters
A page on the colors of bruises+healing stages: well just that. there you go. describe your bruises properly
McCormick Science Institute: yes this is a real thing. the site shows off research on spices and gives the history on them. be historically accurate or just indulge in mindless fascination. boost your restaurant au with it
A Glossary of Astronomy Terms: to pepper in that sweet terminology for your astrophysics major college au needs
Cocktail Flow: a site with a variety of cocktails that’s pretty easy to navigate and offers photos of the drinks. You can sort by themes, strengths, type and base. My only real annoyance with this site is that the drinks are sometimes sorted into ~masculine~ and ~feminine~ but ehhhh. It’s great otherwise.
Tie-A-Tie: a site centered around ties, obviously. I stumbled upon it while researching tie fabrics but there’s a lot more to look at. It offers insight into dress code for events, tells you how to tie your ties, and has a section on the often forgotten about tie accessories
Types of High Heels: A page describing twenty five different types of high heels. It gives a description and pictures. Shake it up from just “stilettos and kitten heels”
Random Job Generator: Exactly as it says. The site offer more generators like characters, plots, or town names.
Glossary of Hosiery Terms: Figure out what is what on a pair of stockings.
Men’s Dress Shoe Guide: A quick guide describing the eight most common types of men’s dress shoes. Pics included.
Types of Women’s Coats: Descriptions and pics of various different types of coats.
Get an ask in my inbox -> read it -> "oh, that's nice; I need to think of a good response" -> "this deservea more attention than I can give it rn; I'll take another look at it later" -> close inbox until later -> "later" never really comes -> forget -> repeat
Ok, mother of GOD that's a lot of responses and I am but one man with Excel. I'll update these ASAP but also some rules:
A Pokemon only counts for itself, not its evolution line.
A Pokemon with multiple forms (like Zygarde) will only be counted for the specified form. A Pokemon with multiple appearances (like Spinda, Vivillon, Sylvally, etc.) count for all their appearances.
I'm literally doing this as a testament to my own depression that not everyone is lovable, so add that to the weight of this post's meaning.
What's your favorite canon facts /maybe canon not directly stated but heavy implied facts about the boys
OK. Some of these are probably common knowledge as a Rise fan, some a bit niche and just tiny little details I found funny...
Also most of these is Donnie cuz I just happened to pick up more about him compared to the other brothers throughout the series. It wouldn't even surprise me if Donnie is the staff favorite.
I would love to add more, but here is what I've got so far:
• Donnie's true passion is botany. As stated by Ron Corcillo himself on Twitter/X for the supposed scrapped episode for season 2 "Gourd Almighty".
• This thing for Raph (Pizza Puffs episode):
• Donnie is bad with money and budgeting. He stole from the other brothers piggy banks in "Breaking Purple", he steals from ATMs (insert episode here) and presumably blows money on a lot of stuff to fund his tech. Hence why I believe this boy can count money, but he spends more than he saves (if at all).
• Mikey has major Darwin (from Amazing World of Gumball) energy to me. I think he can be one heck of a scary yet adorable dictator. Have you SEEN the "Mystic Library" episode?
• Donnie is the one who makes Leo and him dress up as grandmas. It's canon that their undercover grandma names are Hortense (Donnie) and Patty (Leo) as heard in episode "Operation Normal".
• There are underlying clues throughout the show that Donnie, is in fact, the fashionista of the group and the one with the best fashion taste. RiseStarKiss Studios on YouTube made a full video explanation on this.
He can also sew, apparently (see photo). He probably got that from Splinter (Splinter sewed his boys matching ninja uniforms with all red bandanas in "Insane In The Mama Train").
• Not about the turtles, but I just wanna put it out there that April is a horror junkie. Just look at her during "The Gumbus" episode.
• Leo is canonically the older twin.
• Leo is a skeptic and doesn't believe in ghosts and superstition despite being into magic (as seen in episodes like "The Gumbus"). Donnie is a conspiracy theoriest despite being a scientist (as seen in episode "Pizza Pit"). Reverse twin energy at its finest.
• Leo with the turts helped buy a bunch of pizza to get Senior Hueso's kid enough money for college as stated by Leo himself in episode "Portal Jacked".
• Leo uses body spray.
I mean... it's LEO. You can't say he doesn't. Ron Corcillo (...or was it Russ Carney?) said this somewhere about Leo having it in his little bag—I can't find it. And I'm pretty sure Leo is the one next to Splinter who hogs the shower the most.
• Mikey is obsessed with astrology and horoscopes as implied in "Late Fee".
• I'm willing to bet Mikey is the type of person to try any creative hobby just for the heck of it. Look, this boy can paint, draw, stack cans, cook, DJs—he can WELD and do carpentry (Donnie probably taught him that)... and I bet there's more we just didn't get to see with cancelled episodes and the show ending so quickly.
Also, with that in mind... Mikey definitely helps out Donnie with his tech projects sometimes. In the "Repo Mantis" episode, Mikey was competent enough to help Donnie build Doggie Land for Todd. Hands-on, no less.
• Raph loves karaoke. He sings soul (like in that "Al Be Back" episode) and R&B (as stated in the image below). This is a nod to Omar Benson Miller's (Raph's VA) love for karaoke as well. I... forgot where the post I saw this info related to Omar is in Twitter/X. So take this with a grain of salt. I believe it tho.
I'm also willing to believe Raph loves Jazz.
To add to this, I'm pretty sure Donnie is an EDM and Electro fan too—ALSO 80s music. If you've seen the episode "Clothes Don't Make the Turtle", you know what I'm talking about.
Ans Mikey is definitely into rap—hip-hop too. He just gives off the impression to me. Also this turtle canonically DJs (Donnie provides said DJ table) as seen in "Mascot Melee".
My personal headcanon... besides Glamrock, I think Leo is a fan of Funk and Disco.
• Leo also apparently knows how to fiddle with tech a bit. Definitely not as in-depth as Donnie—but Leo was the one instructing and reprogramming version 1 of S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. in the episode 'Smart Lair'.
• There's also this little headcanon that's been floating around by artist @kittykathaynes about how Splinter can see the color of the boys' Ninpos and that's why he calls them by colors.

And considering that according to Ron Corcillo...
Hah. Yeah, I believe it.
I don't have as much as I want to give on my boys Raph and Mikey :']
