!! BEFORE YOU READ !! please do not report this project as i am fully allowed to make MY own analysis/opinions/theories as YOU can. i am also not being homophobic or against autism by saying these things (most of my friends are a part of the lgbtq+ community and/or autistic <33 /pos) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- donnie analysis: tbh, i dont actually care if donnie is autistic or not because i love him for who he is. however i did notice some autistic traits that people get mixed up with him being a SOFT SHELL turtle "donnie wears a battle shell, therefore back sensitivity. autism right?" well actually he wears a battle shell because hes a soft shell turtle which is exactly what it sounds like: his shell is made of literal flesh and if you were to scratch it, it could actually bl33d and its a super sensitive part "well he has a hard time showing his feelings- autism?" actually in the "pizza puffs" episode he says "i dont normally show emotion but WhAOoOWOWowohHwHw theses are good!!" which is him saying that he CHOOSES to hide his emotions and he actually shows a lot more emotion than you think throughout the show lmbo ------------ leo analysis: i am not being homophobic but if you look at the bigger picture, leo may not actually be trans or gay. he does have the markings of a female red eared slider but males have them as well and its the art style of the show. and most of the times, (i dont want this to sound rude <3) cartoon shows tend to give characters a type of humor and personality they may seem like they are autistic or gay (and the fandom tend to overthink things like this like how i overthink why donnie could be afraid of beachballs lmbo /j) this is not a bad thing ofc but its just a point and type of funniness also most of the time (especially on the internet) when people are a part of the lgbtq+ community, they try to find or maybe even just say their favorite characters (or best characters) are a part of the pride community or autistic because they want them to be like them and be a great idol (i have no issue with this <3) ----------- mikey analysis: so i (kind of) think mikey has adhd lmbo it would just suit him in the modern times as being the one and only mikey from tmnt. though he doesnt REALLY seem like it, i cant help but feel like he does?? (2012 mikey diffidently has adhd /j master splinter literally tells him he has attention span issues lmbo /j) ------------- raph analysis: i have no analysis for raph really but i dont have something to say lmbo so i know for a fact that the fandom loves to put raph in dresses (specifically princess peach lmbo) AND I LOVE THIS LMBO but i cant help but think that raph in the show would be like "iM nOt PuTtInG tHaT oN mY bOdY" BUT RHRHGH i still love drawings of him in dresses /j ----------- thanks for listening to my personal theories and analyses! have a nice rest of youre day!!
