The Music Box
2012Donnie x FemReader (fluffy/a little angst) MasterList
[FINALS ARE OVER AND IM FREEEE!!!!! Anyways! I'm so happy, i know ive been like MIA but i promise, I'll get y'all as many chapters as possible!!! Okay.... WHO HERE LOVES 2012 TURTLES!! Me i do... and Donnie is one of my favorites... Anyways this is becoming way too long... My point is... everyone remembers the Music box/ Big Foot episode right? Anyways this is based on that a Donnie x FemReader!.. please enjoy]
"Ugh" Donnie sat, arms resting against the railway of the farmhouse porch. He was gazing into the night sky, unsure how to react to the day's rejection. The music box he had worked so hard on... from the construction of it, the careful song selection... the specific images chosen to decorate the delicate gift. He couldn't help but wonder if this whole crush thing was really worth it... Even after the kiss she gave him after the Big Foot incident... Going as far as calling him 'My Mutant.' her voice rang through his head... but was he really? "No... no, I'm just... A mutant... nothing more." He knew this... he'd known this for so long but, yet "God, I'm such an idiot," The soft thud of the music box falling from his hands didn't even faze him.
"D? You okay?" Y/n's soft voice rang out through the empty woods. Donnie glanced back at the front door, eyes slightly narrowing at her appearance.
"Oh, Hey..." From the look in his eyes, she knew he had been crying, not to mention the slight rough end to his voice. He barely recognized her existence, simply drifting into his own little world.
"Okay, Y/n... let's help him out." She muttered to herself, kneeling down to gently retrieve the discarded music box. "It's beautiful!" As she stood to full height... she couldn't help but admire the careful craftsmanship that Donnie had put into it. Running her fingers softly over the engravings that littered the side. Each flower, letter, star... was all hand carved. She couldn't take her eyes away from the masterpiece... only looking away when she heard Donnie's frustrated groan.
"Not good enough apparently..." Shaking his head with a scowl... his voice hoarse. He looked over as the soft music began to play from the box... a soft gasp escaped Y/n's throat.
"It... you even had it play her favorite song..."
"I know..." Donnie sighed, leaning down to rest his head on his arms... a solemn look still present on his face. She could see him trying hard to suppress the sour feelings of rejection and sadness.
"Wanna... take a walk? Maybe talk a little?" She gently sat the music box on the swing chair that softly swayed with the night's air.
"Sure... sounds better than... whatever I'm doing right now" Pushing himself up off the railing, and slowly followed Y/n down the steps. For the first while, they walked in silence, the wildlife alone filling the void. The sounds of Owls softly cooing and rodents running across the ground. After getting a decent distance from the house, Y/n determined it was time to talk.
"Alright Turtle man... time to spill that heart." She watched as his shoulders slumped slightly, making his way over to a large rock and sitting his shell on it. Y/n could tell he wasn't exactly in a talking mood but followed his lead, sitting next to him on the rock, gently encouraging him.
"I just... really wanted to impress her..." he gently kicked the dirt, trying his best to avoid eye contact with her.
"Well... I don't think my opinion matters to you as much as hers but... I think it's impressive." She shrugged softly.
"Yeah... you're right...it doesn't... and she didn't." He murmured, the bitter tone did little to hurt Y/n's feelings, knowing he was in his feels. Never raising his gaze higher than the base of the tress.
"I'm sorry D... She just doesn't realize what she's missing." A loud sigh left the tech genius. Gently shaking his head...
"I'm sorry for my harsh tone... it's not your fault..." he finally lifted his gaze to meet her y/c/e's. "It's not hers either... I just... I need to get over this little crush." he stared at her face for a moment... subconsciously admiring her features... "I... I don't exactly know how to do that tho..."
"Well..." Y/n blushed softly at his gaze... knowing he wasn't exactly looking at her... simply trying to focus his attention on anything other than his broken heart. "How about we do... Pros and cons! That way you can clearly see her... not just through rose-colored lenses." She hummed, pulling her T-phone from her pocket to take notes... "okay! Ready when you are! Let's start with the pros!"
She patiently waited as Donnie thought over all the pros about the redhead. "W-well her personality and sense of humor are some of the firsts that come to mind," he hummed, setting his hand against his chin in thought. "and she's a very intelligent girl," Y/n could only huff at his longing look. "She's... empathetic and protective... and..." He hummed... signifying that he had concluded his list.
"Okay... seems pretty good! Now... some bad things." She hummed, gently tapping away at her phone before looking up at him.
"She... can be judgmental at times... and she holds grudges for the longest time..." she glanced up at the sound of his shell scratching against the rock... watching as he sank to the floor, back preset near her legs.
"And... she's demanding... jumps to conclusions over anything," Y/n smirked softly... feeling his rage and annoyance slowly seeping through. "She... plays with my emotions! a-and doesn't appreciate anything I do!" With fast movements, he was constantly changing his position. Finally settling on a standing one, pacing back and forth in front of Y/n. With a soft hum, Y/n nodded along, making sure to put little star emojis by the traits he seemed most annoyed with.
"Okay... another decent list!" gently setting the phone down on the spot Donnie was once sitting. "Okay... how about we talk about another person's positive traits!!" With a raised eyebrow, Donnie softly nodded. Curious as to the reason but trusting her nonetheless.
"Well... Raph is very protective, stubborn but... strong... and loving." He chuckled softly at the thoughts of his brother.
"Awesome! Let's keep going! continue, onto another!" She was glad Donnie's mode was shifting... slowly but steadily.
"Mikey is a good cook, and always knows how to bring the mood! Not to mention his enthusiastic attitude is something to envy!" He stopped his pacing for a moment... turning to face away from Y/n and just staring into the woods. "Then there's Leo... his sense of justice is impeccable, he's determined and funny... and just overall all," He turned to Y/n with a bright smile on his face. "Just all of my Brothers are... amazing," She giggled softly at his upbeat mood. "and... you!" he hushed as he was staring at her.
"Me?..." She tilted her head, and a soft nod signaled him to continue...
"You... you're very caring, kind, empathetic... and so patient with me... my brothers," He was back to playing with the dirt... but his words continued to flow "You're smart, strong... and pretty... PRETTY FUNNY!" He was quick to follow his words... trying to cover up his slip. "a-and you're sarcastic! But that adds to you being pretty funny." He moved to look at her again... his smile still bright.
"Feeling better?"
"yeah... a lot actually..." He moved again, taking his original spot on the rock... taking Y/n's T-phone into his hands. "This... helped... in an odd way." He sighed, handing her back her T-phone, before leaning back onto his arms.
"Wanna hear some pros and cons about you?" She scooted closer to him, gently patting his arm. He wasn't expecting her to offer such things. But after a few short moments, he nodded softly, somewhat nervous about what she could potentially say. "Hmm well for starters you're a literal genius, not to mention just how quick of a thinker you are!" She hummed softly, before continuing. "Anything scientist related you give 100 percent! And you're so caring, especially towards the person you love," She giggled softly glancing up to see his reaction.
"I... what else?" His face was flushed, a red color pigmented even through his green skin.
"oh! Your gap tooth is so cute! and the little whistle it does when you're sleeping... BUT C-Cons!! Right, you!" She gently cleared her throat, stopping herself before she went too far. "c-cons... you can be a little workaholic... and you're slightly obsessive." she finished, looking in the complete opposite direction of him, trying to hide the blush that littered her cheeks. However, a three-fingered hand gently tugged her face so she would face him again.
"Y/n...thank you... really," He held a soft smile, looking into her eyes. His own brownish-red ones held a soft gleam. He was flushed beyond belief but... he knew he had to thank her... for not only lighting his mood... but also showing him... just how amazing he was. "I know... now... that love will be a far-off thing for me but, it's nice to know you appreciate me.," He let out a soft gasp when she suddenly took hold of the hand on her face.
"Donnie... please don't think you're unlovable... just because April doesn't see you... doesn't mean there's not another girl who looks at you with the same eyes you give her," She smiled softly, pressing his hand closer into her cheek... "I promise... there's another girl... far closer than you think." She watched as his eyes gathered with tears, but he had a lax look.
"Thank you... I... I promise that when I'm ready...I'll love that girl... to the moon and back..." His heart was pounding. For his own good, he knew he should wait to truly ask her... but he needed her to know... to know that he understood her words... wholeheartedly.
"Don't worry Donnie... I'll be here," she hummed, leaning her head towards his face... watching as he closed his eyes... just soaking in her words..."I'll be here..." She whispered, before finally resting her forehead against his.
(OKAY HEAR ME OUT... this 2012 Donnie sometimes reminds me of Sanji... anyways!! hope you all enjoyed!! and I love yall!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND REMEMBER TO EAT, DRINK, AND LOVE YOURSELF BYEEEEEE LOVE YOU ALL)
@atomic-rattz DTIYS Donnie!
I also really like this more simple version
Even death can't separate them
Aaand a little bit of process
Some Disaster Twins sketches + 2012 Leo being pretty
Dude if you had to Chose to marry any of the Turtles who would you marry? Only one!!
We know I love both Donnie and Leo, but when it comes down to it I think it depends on the day.
Today is a Donnie day. I'd love to wake up in the middle of the night to the smell of coffee and walk into the kitchen to see a fresh cup but your husband nowhere in sight. You find him in his lab downstairs, head resting against his arms and a screwdriver still in his hand as he let out soft breaths.
Nights like these would be common with him, and you'd rub his shell to wake him up and lead him slowly back upstairs to your bedroom to get some sleep.
☆☆☆
Leo on the other hand would go out for early morning runs. He usually woke up a few hours before you, but sometimes he'd wake you up and insist you join him, even volunteering to carry you.
So there you were, still in your pajamas hugging his shell with your eyes closed as he kept across the rooftops. When he came to a stop he patted your hand and told you to look. He always found the perfect places to watch the sun rise, yellow fading to pink and then purple that stained the clouds as the city began to wake up.
You nuzzled into him as you watched, grateful to have such a peaceful moment until it was time to return home.
little ship animatic of my OC and donatello! Ship name: TrashTech UvU
my rottmnt OC:
small thing i changed after these drawings - her little side shave cut hair is white instead of purple :p
(panels of animatic below break)
Headcanon ROTTMNT - Donnie was nonverbal/couldn't speak well when he was young
so. I feel like this is something a lot of people think. But I had to share the evidence
in "Bullhop" we learn that Donnie can read lips.
"Oh, I read his lips, he's engaging, perfect"
and in "Todd Scouts" he uses sign language to sign "Explosion/explode" (accurately by the way).
So here's my two theories:
Donnie's autistic. We know this. There's a good chance he could have been a nonverbal child or just didn't learn to speak as quickly. To make up for this, he learned ASL.
Either this, or he was/is partially deaf (which would make sense because he's constantly around technology and science. There's bound to be tons of loud sounds that could potentially damage his hearing. either this or he was just born partially deaf. If he knew how to read lips well, then he'd be able to make up for his partial deafness.
anyways just wanted to share this with someone. my friends aren't rottmnt nerds like i am lol
Actually those evocative lines are the reason I wrote the ask. Like, you describe emotions and situations so so SO well omg. I love.
WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HURT ME LIKE THIS. DID THE MUSES GUIDE YOUR HAND OR SOMETHING
I managed to speedrun the first two fics of Canary Continuity within a day. And. How could you do this to me.
The greatest, most beautiful, painful, gut-wrenching, heart-shattering paragraphs ever written seem to be found in tmnt angst fics istg.
waow... im glad people have high opinion of my prose (because i do not have high opinion of my prose)
oh wait im supposed to be coy that's like my bit. TEEHEE THANK U FOR ENJOYING
Okay be honest who would be the bride??😭 just random sketches of them I hate them (I love them with all my heart 😭❤️)
Should I finish them??
I shipped these 2 sooo hard when I was younger 😭 practices!!
Since my cat and other cats headbutt people when they want attention/show that they love someone, I am head cannoning that Donnie has that trait.
So I am imagining a scenario where Donnie is going “I am going to headbutt you” to Leo.
Donnie ends up headbutting Leo’s shoulder. And Leo is like “That was less violent than expected.”
Donnie is like, “I’m sorry, do you want it to be violent?”
This ends up with Donnie ramming into Leo and they both end up passed out on the floor.
Raph and Mikey come in a few minutes later, and don’t question anything.

[SFW] rottmnt! donatello shows love through the little things.
he makes you little trinkets that will hold value in your day-to-day life; like that coffee maker that brews your coffee just the way you like it,
or that subtle purple bracelet that can display a holographic of your daily statistics (your step count, reminders for your day)
it's the way he will forcefully drag himself from his beloved projects in order to spend time with you, as meaningless as it all seems - because he's with you, and that does mean something to him.
it's the way he has no idea what you're talking about, only half-heartedly humming whenever you ask him a question, solely focused on the way you animatedly talk - completely love drunk.
it's the way his guard is lowered in your presence, apparent from the rumbling churr emanating from where he's sitting at his work station - content completely to be in your vicinity, and not daring to break the serenity of the environment to ask for more.
it's the way he forgot how nice it felt to have someone caress soothing circles into his soft shell, becoming complete putty in your hands and melting on the spot - eyes shut, and slightly drooling from the way his body just... relaxes, loses any and all tension.
it's the way you're his first waking thought, and also his last waking memory before sleep takes him.
nicknames ; darling, sweetums, love of my life favourite date ; you, him, cuddled in bed, ready for a jupiter jim marathon
Miscellaneous sketches!
A doodle of dress with a skirt teeming with nature. A fleeting idea for a bigger project. I liked it, so I might do something with it one day.
I think this was a drawing of TMNT Donny as a human. TMNT 2012 specifically. One of the best TMNT eras.
'Fashion' character #1. I love drawing child characters in random pieces that they dug out from their closet. Very disney chic!
'Fashion' character #2. I actually coloured her in along with some others. I might repost that though, because the first post wasn't the best quality.
Read it. Its amazing!
PART 10 - Be Back Soon AU
Previous | Masterpost | …
FUCK YEEAAAH i finally got to chap 10 jeez.
I love procreate iswg. They have an entire set of just light brushes. Makes my life easier.
Also I love insulting the Kraang. There is so many things to say.
Enjoy!
I also believe that Leo looks genuinely concerned in the first image and once he hurt Donnie, especially with the sweat droplets on his forehead. Of course it can be argued that he expressed these emotions on purpose, having shown his acting skills in previous episodes, as well as being the face man.
Futhermore, with the head cannon of Leo being the medic, makes it highly unlikely Leo would intentionally injure one of his brothers, let alone Donnie as a softshell turtle. If The hc was canon, then Leo would have grown up treating his brothers' injuries, even if they were never that serious. However, since Donnie is a softshell and bruises easilier, all of his brothers would want to be more careful to not hurt him.
Thus, makes it more probable that Leo did not intentionally hurt Donnie.
An ongoing debate within the fandom is whether or not Leo fell on purpose during the episode Lair Games
Leo: Donnie? Donnie are you okay?
Donnie: You did this! You’ll do anything to win! My ankle! My moment!
Some people have said that Leo might have fallen on purpose in order to win due to his competitive nature while others have said that Leo looked too surprised at Splinter declaring him the winner of the event to have fallen on purpose.
Splinter: Purple hit the ground first! Blue wins!
Other arguments used for Leo having not fallen on purpose are that the fall most likely hurt for Leo as well as Donnie & that Leo would never intentionally actually hurt a family member considering how important family is to Leo. A counter argument for this have been people saying that Leo didn’t mean to hurt Donnie by falling & that was the only part that was an accident.
However there is a piece of evidence that might mean that Leo did not fall on purpose & that is his family thinking that he did do it on purpose.
Mikey: And that’s when Leo fell, or did he?
April: So you think he did it on purpose?
Mikey: [Nods]
Donnie: It was Leo! He did it on purpose!
Leo: I’m only talking to you to set the record straight, I didn’t do it on purpose! I mean how could I? I had half a fridge on my chin!
Donnie: I’m sorry can I have a moment?
In the episode Lair Games most of the Hamato Clan seem convinced that Leo fell on purpose with Donnie & Mikey even saying so & April arguably taking Donnie’s side in the interviews. However a running gag within Rise is that whenever one of Leo’s family members try to make assumptions on what Leo’s doing we’re shown Leo doing basically the opposite of what they’ve just said.
Raph: Hey! Where’s Leo?
Mikey: I’m sure wherever he is, he’s trying to save us
Raph: Leo probably talked his way straight into Big Mamma’s dungeon
Whenever Leo’s family tries to predict what Leo will do, Leo’s family is almost always wrong whenever they try to assume Leo’s actions. In contrast when Leo tries to guess his families actions, he is almost always right.
Leo: Look I bet the only reason we’re here right now is ‘cause Donnie inputted coordinates of blah blah blah
Donnie: After inputting Shredder’s previous coordinates on the X-Y-Z and D for Donnie axis, I have calculated that this is the sight of our final resting spot. I mean go team?
Leo: Mikey Razzed his Tazz
Mikey: Whip-o-Rama!
Leo: April finally used her crane license
April: ‘Why would you get a crane license April?’ BECAUSE THIS!
Leo: And Raph is going to put it all together in a plan to defeat that led head with this mystic collar
Raph: Wow Leo that’s remarkably accurate
Raph: He’s back. Prepare for Operation Fire, Hanky, Tickle, Collar!
Leo: Yeah!
It is a slight running gag in Rise is that Leo is able to predict his families actions to a near perfect degree but whenever his family try to predict or assume Leo’s actions they are almost always wrong to a near comical degree, meaning that Leo’s family assuming he fell on purpose in the episode Lair Games might actually be evidence that Leo fell by accident instead.
