:D!!!!!
I'm so happy these little goobies left such an impact on you I love these little guys so much,, hehehehe
So me and @teks-emporium have been experimenting with the idea of A Journey To The Center Of Mikey’s Mind, but it’s the mind of our favorite purple masked big-brained teen instead!
We got to the topic of who might be found in Donnie’s subconscious and finally have a pretty solid idea of who’s running the show.
Introducing: Our Goobers 💜 (Art by @teks-emporium)
Brainy Donnie: (Seen throughout Series)
Opinionated about everything
Knows that he’s the smartest person in the room at all times and isn’t afraid to drop constant reminders
Usually holding objects (tool, beaker, blueprint) that changes every time someone looks at him
Randomly spouts big words
Gets easily distracted by whatever he’s holding
Never seen without Curious Donnie nearby
Curious Donnie: (Most visible in The Creeping Doom)
Oldest personality trait
Carried around in Brainy’s labcoat pocket
Acts like a child (giggling/touching things/climbing people)
Only asks questions, and once he starts, he has trouble stopping
Never seen without Brainy Donnie nearby
Needy Donnie: (Seen throughout Series)
Hovers around his brothers from the second they enter
Most comfortable with Mikey out of all the brothers
Timid and awkward, always trying to do things for others
Jumpy/hopeful in demeanor (puppy waiting to be kicked)
Can’t stand negativity addressed at him/others
Absolute People Pleaser
Romantic Donnie: (Seen throughout Series)
Newest personality trait that none of the others like (but he is the youngest so he gets away with alot)
Constantly making every conversation about April
Plotting ways to make her happy with every other breath
Random bouts of swooning
Is an absolute bundle of enthusiasm and joy that cannot be phased or squashed by anything until The Power Inside of Her.
Anxiety Donnie: (Seen Throughout Series)
Ex: In Dreams/Fungus Humongus/Revenge of the Triceratons
An constant nervous wreck
Always freaking out about something
Only other expressed emotion is anger (getting angry makes him huge but being angry doesn’t last long)
Tends to have more influence on decisions than Brainy and Ninja, despite them trying to take the lead
Personification of Body Dysmorphia
Ninja Donnie: (Most visible in Heart Of Evil)
Blank expression/white eyes/negative vibes
Stalks around the background
Doesn’t like Leo or Mikey but randomly appears next to Raph (scaring him multiple times)
Very violence-oriented, especially when science is involved
Doesn’t like being overruled or disagreed with
Makes all the others uncomfortable
The Living Example Of Intrusive Thoughts
Goober Fun Facts:
The subconscious is a gray room covered in tech. The main monitors and consol sits in plain sight shadowing the room. The room is empty unless the traits are using something, in which case whatever they’re doing exists. The door to the imagination looks like Donnie’s lab door and stands off to the side.
Inner Donnie (aka the One True Donnie) struggles to keep up with all of them and tends to get overwhelmed, especially by Romantic and Anxiety, who never let up
Anxiety is basically the second-in-command despite being the least stable trait in the group
All the traits have teamed up at one time or another to run things
Ninja gets the least amount of time in control because they’re all afraid of what he might do, but he’s also their defensive capabilities, so they instinctively trust him to keep them safe
Romantic is SUPPOSE to get the second least amount of control but he always finds his way back to the control panel
Curious and Romantic are the happiest goobers. Unfortunately, they’re also the least respected. They tend to be shuffled off to the side, but they never stay quiet for long
Daily Danganronpa Fun Fact #353
In the earlier drafts for Nagito, he was described as being a character equivalent to the Joker from Batman.

'12 Donnie 🤝 Kowalski
Have the episode where they (temporary) lose their intelligence
.do you have any scars on your hands/fingers?
The Doctor will see you now
It took me forever to draw vampire Donnie and even longer for me to draw fanart for Dr. Don like bro HOW
one of my moots was yappin about this shit but I AGREE SO MUCH
there are so many sad scenes in tmnt 2012 where donnie has genuine body dysmorphia, even going as far as to call himself a monster in some cases (if I remember correctly)
in that one episode when they face their "greatest fears" donnie's is the idea of april seeing him as just a freak of nature (despite the fact she does little to imply this thought and none of his brothers share this fear, most likely because they've never viewed themselves as monsters the way donnie has seen himself throughout the series)
none of the others ever see their mutation as negative in anyway other than donnie, although it is useful, it often feels as if it makes him feel like a freak undeserving of love
idk man wanted to share my thoughts on this @phewgitoid has a better post about this stuff
Well I'm at least glad I was able to get a video over 18k views on TikTok before it got banned. That TAiAGotOS fanart was my god damn Magnum Opus
Here's to hoping that posting my favorite snippet from my current fic I'm writing will motivate me to finish it °3°
For context this is the Tokyo Ghoul AU again, and the pov here is Donnie
