bayverse headcanons but they don't make any sense hehe:
I love making silly headcanons for the boys, even if they don't actually add to anything,, but it's kinda funny
Likes to reference out of date memes because it annoys Mikey to no end
Is so so scared that Mikey will have another growth spurt and he'll be left the shortest (Donnie lies and says it's a "very real" possibility just to tease him)
Hates it when Raph cracks his knuckles or neck, it gives him the shivers
BEAUTIFUL penmanship, like stunningly gorgeous handwriting wtf
He definitely keeps a journal. I low-key think he bullet journals. Stickers, washi tape, calligraphy. He will never show Raph or Mikey but he shows Donnie because Donnie compliments his creativity :)
Loves like queer-coded music... Mitski.... Girl In Red.... Mother Mother..... He's, y'know....
His childhood crushes were both Wendy Darling AND Peter Pan
Always misspells brain as Brian and hates himself for it
Has the kind of laugh that makes everyone else laugh
Uses emojis in every text and he's really funny with them ✌️😗
Will make up words and see how long it takes his brothers to realise
Usually only eats sweets that are grape or blackcurrant flavours because purple is his Brand™. He secretly prefers orange flavours
Biggest show off and the worst for fishing for compliments. Loves to be praised for things other than his "usefulness". Adores it when April calls him "cool" or anything other than smart.
"Look how fast I can type!" *types a full page in less than ten seconds* April: "That's really cool Don! :)" Donnie: 💕💛💯👌✨🌟💕💘💖
Fishes for compliments for literally anything. "I feel so stupid, I'm sorry :(" "No! No! Donnie you're so smart :)" ":D"
Watched that scene from Lilo and Stitch where Nani is all like "oh no! gravity is increasing on me!" and has been doing it ever since
Genuinely thinks Casey is one of the funniest people ever but would rather lose a hand than admit it
Will absolutely do anything on a dare
Likes British comedians. I just think that comedians like Greg Davies and Sean Lock would have him in giggles. Let this man watch Big Fat Quiz of the Year
The worst dancer out of his brothers (April's the worst dancer out of them all)
Loves tiny things.... mini cooking..... little figurines..... so small, so fragile...
He knits when he's stressed, bored, passing the time, will literally just instinctively reach for his knitting at any time.
He secretly donates a lot of his projects to shelters. Especially if he knits teddy bears, he likes to think he's given a child their childhood teddy bear.
Raphael is both me and my dad in the sense that if he is tired or hungry? Nothing gets done until he's had a nap or ate.
Has the best aim and will continuously flaunt that fact. Toss rubbish into the bin, perfect shot. Game of catch, Mikey never drops. Raphael will not play darts with him. Ever.
Just really likes stickers of any kind
They give him the stickers off of the fruit and Mikeys just like "aw hell yeah" and puts it on his phone case or something
He covers his bed frame I'm stickers, his notebooks, walls. You'd think Splinter would be annoyed but he actually really likes it.
Much like Donnie he only eats orange sweets, but his favourite is grape and doesn't want to upset Donnie. Raph knows this and thinks it is the most stupid thing in the world but also gets annoyed when Leonardo takes the strawberry sweeties.
Always carries snacks in his pockets, always. He knows most of the time his brothers (especially Raphael) are grumpy because they're hungry. He's the very same.
Used to wish he had like a cool ring and when he saw loads of girls making chunky rings out of clay he went bananas. Wears them all the time at home, Leo always had to remind him to take them off during patrol or when training
Every night he wakes up to go to the bathroom and every night he trips over on the SAME spot.
