Hello!Which of the TMNT brothers do you think would be the Favorite Uncle™️? 💚🐢💚
Oooo I like this one, gonna tweak the question just a bit and go with describing each of the bros as uncles and let readers pick their favorite
(This is a generalization of the brothers, so it’s not specifically one iteration but an umbrella observation of them)
- I see Leo being a dependable uncle, in the way that the kids in the family gonna be well taken care of when he’s looking after them
- He’s the uncle that brings healthy snacks and a fun activity but will also let kids stay up late if they keep giving him books to read to them
- For older kids, he’s a really good listener and would always be willing to lend an ear or impose some life wisdom if that’s what is needed
- His older brother mentality might trickle down into him being an uncle, so he may mother hen any kids in the family. But it’s from a place of love and happiness for being able to look out for his brothers and their kids
- Raph’s the tough uncle in the way that the kids think he’s so cool and when he looks after them they all get to be “strong like him”as they say
- He’s the uncle that will pick up any kid by their feet and walk them around the ceiling but also always acts like everything is heavy when he has to hand something to a kid for their amusement
- With the older kids he’d actually offer to properly teach them some basic self defense and maybe some weapons practice as long as they promise to get permission first
- Raph has struggled with his self worth and strong emotions before, so like Leo he’d actually be a supportive listener to any kids in the family looking for help with just the basic turmoils that come with growing up
Donnie: Educational Uncle💜
- Donnie’s the educational uncle, and I say educational in the way that Donnie is keeping these kid’s minds engaged and learning when he looks after them
- He’s the uncle that plays games to help kids learn and grow but would also make up random facts to tease the kids for fun, what do you mean carrots absolutely give you X-Ray vision :)
- With older kids he’d respond to their questions and curiosity with more hands on learning. Things like simplistic experiments in his lab or light tinkering in the garage with Donnie supervision of course
- His tendency to loose himself to his work may overlap into his passion to educate, so he may occasionally sound more teacher-like the an uncle. But he’s sure to balance it all out with some fun when he’s with family
- Need I say more? Mikey would 100% own the Funcle title in the way that he is the fun uncle and makes sure everyone knows it. Mikey is matching the kids energy and making sure everyone is in on the fun
- He’s the uncle that’s fully immersed in the island adventures, dressing up for tea parties, and always keeping up with any game the kids drag him into
- He’d be a big support for the older kids reminding them to sometimes take a break and relax. As the heart of the family, he’d always be there to chillax and help the kids take a step back from any problems to ground themselves
- His fun uncle status may get to his head from time to time, but he takes the role to heart. Mikey would do anything to help his family and put a smile on the kids and his brothers faces
