Leo isn’t even mad. He’s just impressed.

A woman said she lost her purse, but it was never found by anyone. How is that possible?

*Looks in a corner of a huge pile of purses*

Oh, I don't know. That's a conundrum!

Hey Donnie, I just wanted to ask, do you actually love April? If so, you should marry her.

Hey! That's a great idea!

I didn't think those reddit threads of people arguing about the existence of mutant ninja turtles in New York were legit WOW here I thought all those pictures were photoshopped. Or that the pizza delivery guy was just making shit up.

They are photoshopped. Do you see how weird my shell looks in some of them? Do you see how airbrushed I am? I'm offended. Iv'e got less pores in those pics than a Kardashian.

Donatello have you and your brothers ever processed your trauma? You've all been through way too much in your young lives there's no way you came out of it unscathed. Now that the Shredder, Kraang and Triceratons have all been dealt with I think you guys should take the lack of immediate, world-ending threats to really address and deal with the damage you all have in like literally every aspect.

Processed my trauma?

Trauma? ha ha ha....what trauma? I'M FINE OKAY! it's all fine. Now hand me that explosive substance I'm going to use to clean the toilets.

Have you and your brothers ever told Splinter that the four Kappa that Oroku Saki and Tang Shen saw in their past before the tragic accident was actually you guys?

Before Sensei died? No, that never came up over dinner of pizza and "Oh god the planet is at risk again!"

But you aren't really supposed to disrupt the timelines too much or it really affects the future.

Unless, that's the point.

Did you ever get to have sibling bonding time with Karai / Miwa ? If not then I'd recommend it. You went through a lot to get her back you deserve to have a good relationship with her.

Actually no. That never happened. She got really busy and just couldn't really find time for us unless it was to come warn us of impending doom or to scold us for being on Footclan ground.

If there exists a planet of salamander people like the Salamandrians do you think there's a planet out there where turtles and other terrapin-like aliens are the dominant species and if so, would you and your brothers ever consider going there sometime? Maybe that could be a vacation spot for you four.

Oh, that sounds nice. Imagine an awesome place that is warm, with plenty of plants. Maybe there will be some rocks to lay on. Lots of water.

Like a reptile tank.

But a planet.

Hello Donnie!

I was quite curious for a while how your 'ninja mode' works, well just curious how the eyes work. Does your iris and pupil just whiten? Do you roll you eyes back into your head and don't see anything? Or is it just as simple that you have secondary eyelids like lizards have?

(if there are any mistakes, I apologize, English is my third language)

That, my friend, is the secondary eyelid. Turtles have them as well as lizards and they are used in the same way-to enable us to see and protect our eyes in atmospheres such as dust or water. It's excellent in fighting.

Hey Donatello

How's my Tumblr buddy doing How's your finance and brothers doing I just moved into a new home in Clinton iowa and I'm doing great I just need help unpacking and I got a new boyfriend named Danny fenton and a new chinese friend named Jack spicer and next week I'm going to go to the fair cause there's a special needs event coming next week and I can't wait 😊

I know this is extremely late, but I am so glad you are enjoying a new life and new beginnings! Good luck. I hope you have good times and a lot to look forward to.

Hey Donnie, let's say a girl and guy are becoming really close online, and then one doesn't acknowledge a message from the other for months, should the one who sent the message stop talking to the other?

i think that if you don't get a reply, it is perfectly fine and it is encouraged to not talk to them. They may have moved on, got busy, but even so you shouldn't wait for someone who doesn't reply. Always think of yourself and what is best for you. You are under no obligation to wait for anyone who doesn't respond for months. One month is my limit.

.. Riverdale Riverdale riverdale.. I feel like this show is what it's like being on drugs? It's seven seasons and I still don't have any idea what's going on. I don't know who's alive or dead or what timeline it is or anything like that. I'm going to blame you. It's all your fault

*sigh*

You are right, Jas...

It is true..*i* Wrote Riverdale. It's all my fault.

Seriously, though, after a few seasons I just couldn't with that show. I am not sure they knew what they were trying to do.

So,i-I, u-uhm, l-last night I smelled the rood of rotting flesh coming from my air vent in my bed room as well as noises, I-it r-really freaked me out because it was 3am. S-should I be worried?

It is most likely not anything to worry about. It is probably a mouse or other small rodent that got in there and then died. Most air vents aren't big enough to fit anything that is larger than that.

Between you and your brothers, which one of you would lose the hardest in a rap battle?

Mikey would be the one killing it.

Leo would do the worst.

I think I would pass, because Mikey and I dance the most and listen to the most variety of music.

Raph would do all right but h e's more metal and rock than listening to a lot of hip hop or rap.

Do you ever catch yourself viewing clerks and other people you meet during the day as machines that are there to serve their function only, rather than just seeing them as another person, who is just like you?

No, I don't. I can honestly say I've never done that. Having seen real machines that work to serve their functions only, I see people as people, and mutants as mutants. As we really should all do,

Life is not a video game. There are no real NPCs.

Hey donnie, do you think you are the strongest turtle? If not then who is.

Oh I'm not at all the strongest. Not even close. Raphael is the strongest of us all, hands down.

How much do you think names affect the outcomes of people’s lives?

This is actually a thing called Nominative Determinism.

Nominative Determinism is the theory that people tend to gravitate towards professions that are similar to their names-such as Fishermen named Angelo Fish, or Podiatrists named Felix Shoe.

It also can include that often people are judged by their names. Certain names have certain cultural and historical connotations- such as why no one names their children Lucifer or Damien anymore.

So your name can determine not just what society thinks of that name, but how people treat you based on their own cultural biases of that name.
