Genius Built Cafe™

' Hello!! My name is Cora, it's a pleasure to meet all of you, I've heard great things about this cafe, I do hope it's alright if we hang around for a bit! My boyfriend here needs to socialize with other people, especially anyone who's a parent, he NEEDS to learn how to be a dad, if however, you folks don't mind! '

(Cora said, now holding a very annoyed Donnatello by the collar of his shirt)

Welcome to the Genius Built Cafe™! We hope you enjoy your visit (even if a bit reluctant)! The atmosphere is relaxing and germ-free, so kick back and relax! 💜☕

Sorry for the lack in posts recently and the lack of responding to asks! We have all been quite…. Busy. Yeah. ANYHOW! Enjoy this silly mini comic featuring:

Pathfinder by @rainreyth

@virameow and @sooahbites !

Artist and creator: @sooahbites

Basic Info: 24/25-ish year old, one of the youngest out of the main five. Known as how his wife likes to call him; "Shaker". His life-style has make him a bit laid back, but he's still a Donatello through and through. Has his phone out more than the others for some reason. Father of his beloved Munhee, one out of the two people that can tell him what to do. Huge enthusiast of coffee, reason why he slowly became the one in charge of it in the cafe. Makes the best mocaccino you'll ever drink--his words.

Favorite cafe order:

Mocaccino and strawberry muffins.

Toughts on the other Donnies:

Catalyst-

"Man, this guy's life has been...rough. I admire his resilience and the ability to raise a kid in the apocalypse, surprising how he hasn't lost his mind yet, not gonna lie. Also impressive if you take in account he takes care of stock here at the cafe. His daughter Aela is really cute, if she was older I would offer playdates with Munhee."

Donatellium-

"I like him a lot, you can tell he drinks a lot of tea by how chill he is. He makes awesome tea, so I'm not surprised, though I'm more of a coffee guy if I'm honest. By how much he loves botany you can tell his spouse has rub off on him a lot, which is pretty adorable if you ask me."

Blade-

"The patience of this man to raise five kids it's astounding. Don't get me wrong, his kids are adorable, but five?? Still, he's pretty cool, though you can tell he's old, I've lost count of how many pictures of him snoring in the cafe I have on my phone."

Signal-

"The ego of that guy is huge, and that's coming from me, you can tell his spouse loves him a lot. I still like him, he's pretty mean, I find that amusing. We get along better than my wife and his spouse at least."

Canon Donnie-

"He's not around much, which I think it's fine, he needs to spend time with his loved ones after all. I thank him for creating this place, he has made my free time much more interesting than before. Munhee has quite a few friends thank to it too."

Good evening! Sorry for the long wait! (I mean seriously, sorry) Please take a seat downstairs, upstairs, anywhere you would like! We have karaoke upstairs with the bar and a large selection of food and drinks (menus will be released one day) and they will be delivered by totally mindless robots that are not sentient and evil! Enjoy! ☕️

Artist: @virameow

Basic info: Around 36 years old, the oldest Donatello (out of the main five) in the cafe so far. He goes by "Blade" and "Papa" or "Daddy" but that depends on if you're his children or not. Always giving decent advice when the moment calls for it, his brain may be occupied by his kids but that doesn't mean he's not a damn good ninja. His children's names are Marigold, Willow, Calla, Atsuko, and Shelldon.

Favorite cafe order:

Black coffee and the bacobagelrito

Thoughts about the others:

Donatellium -

Very nice guy, the kids enjoy playing with each other whenever we bring them around. His wife has the BEST tea I think I will ever drink, it's actually scary good. I enjoy chatting with him, he is a very calm and cool person, his name definitely sounds like a chemical element though. He somehow always has calm dubstep ready to play, he's definitely the one stopping arguments or debates around here. I think his daughter Coraline and my twins (Marigold and Willow) are plotting an elaborate prank but I can't prove it...

Catalyst -

Ah, where to start? Very interesting man, he always seems to keep the cafe running even though he's not the founder. I think the organization of stock keeps him from going insane. He thinks I have too many kids but honestly I believe it's the right amount, a nice odd number. I don't mind his comments though, he's never seriously gotten on my nerves. Mostly because I think I'm asleep most of the time... I always lend him a few good parenting tips and advice, though there is no book on parenting with the amount of bed time advice I've given him I might as well write one!

Shaker -

Shaker. What a very interesting man, hes definitely one of the younger Donnie's that are regulars, he always calls me old! I'm not that much older than him! I love his little girl, Munhee, she's adorable really. Even though he's a stay at home dad, I do think he can kick someone's ass if need be, we all could.

Signal -

Well, the guy is certainly a character. Him and his spouse definitely are two peas in a pod, they're a great match for each other. I respect the guy even though he most definitely enjoys teasing and starting debates, you have to admit it's funny watching him come up with insults on the fly. Hes a good guy, and not just because he's me from another universe. Well maybe that's part of it.

Canon Donatello -

He started the whole cafe, we all just slowly started to pile in since, y'know we have the same minds. He's surprisingly fine with all the Donnie's using his space in this... Pocket universe. He's rarely around but when he is he's a treat, always getting flavorless juice and talking about the newest criminals he busted, new inventions.

Fun fact:

He once took a seven hour "nap" at the cafe and everyone stacked empty coffee cups on him to see who would win. No one won because he woke himself up from snoring too loud.

Nickname: Nory, short for ignorant. He gave the nickname to himself as another reminder of his mistake of not listening to orders and getting himself hurt in the process.

Basic information: From the Bad Future timeline, he's distant and doesn't bother talking to a lot of the cafe-goers. He mostly stops by once every blue moon, getting a cup of fresh water or coffee. He avoids talking to a lot of people. He hardly sleeps so if you do catch him at the cafe he'll most likely brush you off harshly. Don't ask about his wife.

Favorite beverage:

Artist and creator: @rainreyth

Basic info:

21 y/o Catalyst, single father to one year old Aela—his pride and joy. Aversion to loud noises, prone to arguing, and the one that keeps the cafe's stock, organizing when no one else is around during nap-time hours. The youngest, and one of the main five.

Thoughts on the other Donnies:

Shaker -

"I wouldn't tell him this if I were you, but quite envy his lifestyle, and it makes me wonder how Aela would've grown up had things in my own universe been different. His daughter is quite adorable as well, I must admit. I'm sure they'll make good friends as they get older."

Donatellium -

"Seems laidback to me, has an obsession with botany I don't think I'll ever understand but he and his spouse bring the best chamomile tea leaves so I most certainly am not complaining. To each their own, but I find his style quite questionable."

Signal -

"Solid guy, his spouse...unsettles me. I find the origins of his nickname quite amusing, despite how panic inducing it must've been to live through. That aside, I enjoy his humour and respect his ideals."

Blade -

"First glance? Too many kids, even for a 'good universe' it compromises focus and strategical advantages in my opinion. Even I'll admit one is...a lot. Second glance? He's a good man, has all his ducks in a row as far as I can tell. Gives pretty genuine advice at times as well."

Canon Donnie -

"Good kid. Quiet when he's around, he's usually off in his own dimension leaving the café to us. I don't mind it of course, he should spend as much of his time with his brothers as he can, good future or not. I've noticed a tendency to hold the rest of us in high regard though, regardless of our status or past... I don't personally see why he should, I wouldn't exactly call myself the saints of all role models."

Favorite menu items:

Chamomile tea w/ honey

Toasted croissant with butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar

Mocha

Basic info:

34 y/o Pathfinder (or Pathy) is the older version of Catalyst. His daughter is about 15ish now, and although "just a hologram" he has a tendency to parent the reoccurring guests around the cafe given they'll let him. Always visits when Catalyst isn't there, somehow...

Favourite menu items:

N/A, but if he were able to choose it'd be the same.

Fun fact:

OH OH OH OH OHHHH!!!

The ground and building shake as something massive shifts outside. In the window is a giant face peering into the entrance.

"Excuse me, would this establishment be able to serve me coffee? Worry not, I have my own thermos."

Kaiju Donnie wants a drink!

But he's 95 feet tall and can't fit into the building.
