oh, to have a single episode of them

[koolaidashley]

Once……a day for a month maybe !!! 🤣

[forgetful-nerd]

I think 2003! Raph has a soft spot for any and all Donnies. To the point he'd let them get away with murder if left alone with them.

…….If you only knew HOW mUCH I hate and luv this moment.

Shredder, man, you had such a fucking chance to get your sword back while Leo was distracted. But you decided to make fun of Stockman with him? Or maybe it was a desperate attempt to recruit Leo for the last time? JESUS FUCk???

Donnie being wholesome/caring!💜

[hrshlandturtles]

Thinking about 2012 : yeah it's fun haha

Seeing 2012 Donnie : oh wait shit, imma adopt this poor child now

[hrshlandturtles]

Like sorry but he rectifies his brothers or start to talk about something he likes and he's just shut down

[isitdonproof]

list of favorite things as a fanfic author:

When someone is really freaking mad at me for inducing an emotional response from them

when readers give me a background of how/when they read my writing

when readers give me a background of why they shouldn’t have been reading my writing (usually while at work)

when readers quote my work back to me in comments

the frickin’ real heroes here, the ones who comment on every chapter of an ongoing multi-chapter fic

all of this, but also

incoherent screeching

people who wanna talk in depth about a fic I’m writing

Please, I love 2003 Donnie so much, you have no idea

This sweet, quiet cinnamon roll literally carries his whole family (And the rest of the world as a supplement)

[onewithblankets]

okay bc I see ppl in the tags asking about it and I have VERY strong feelings about this (/pos), (also spoilers for the ‘03 series ahead, obviously) there’s an episode in one of the later seasons called ‘Same As It Never Was’ wherein the bros are magicked away to other worlds/realities, and the one Donnie happens to get stuck in is his own world, 30 years in the future. It’s apocalyptic, and the Shredder is absolutely wreaking havoc. The only thing left of Splinter is a grave. Mikey is down an arm, Raph an eye, and Leo is near completely blind. And future Donnie? Doesn’t exist. He disappeared 30 years ago, and nobody knows what happened to him. The apocalypse happened, essentially, because Donnie vanished/died. There’s a whole lot of other stuff that happens to traumatize our teenage ‘03 Donnie (he defeats the future shredder, but watches his future brothers die in the process) but yeah. ‘03 Donnie dies —> apocalypse. That probably isn’t a heavy burden to carry at all.

[somerandomdudelmao]

yes YES exactly

Donnie did so much for the team and for the family. He was a mechanic and a medic and a fixer. More importantly, he was the guy you call when you need to hack into someone else's system or disarm a bomb or figure out someone else's location or figure out what poison your enemy has poisoned you with (the list could go on and on)

He was just quietly fulfilling his role, but unlike Leo or Raph, that role consisted of like, a billion things at once.

He was literally the most important part of the foundation upon which his family's well-being rested.

And then when he disappeared in that episode, ..well....

There was no one to properly heal them when they were seriously injured. No one could help them when a "hide our location from the net" type task was required.

All those combat schemes where Donny would just do his clever magic and the rest of them would just cover for him didn't work anymore.

I'm pretty sure that when the turtles realized the world was going to hell, they looked at each other and thought at the same time that Donnie would know what to do.

I’m tired of seeing people characterize 2003 Donnie as this innocent cinnamon roll who could do no harm when the guy terrorizes his bros for fun, creates weaponized cars cause he thinks it’d be cool, ripped his friend’s head off to shut him up, has killed before and will kill again

[drawing2cope]

the 'tried to kill you' to found family pipeline tho
