on another episode of āover-analyzing ROTTMNTā
I havenāt seen anyone mention this, but rise Donnie seems to be the most romantically inclined judging by how unabashedly he talks about his crushes and his ātype.ā
Leo is seemingly super romance-averse and even disgusted but still pertains some interest in being a dad?? Itās mentioned like twice lol
Donnie eventually gets an entire dad-coded episode with Sheldon though. So.
why does this matter? Good question
š¤ i know why it matters! Cuz the fans ALWAYS write Leo as the flirtatious one and Donnie as the romance-averse aro. WE MUST PUT AN END TO THIS. Waiter, a Leo and Donnie fic centered around Leo hyping up Donnie before a date, please! More Leo aroace rep please!
Hey diva Iām highlighting these tags because ABSOLUTELY
I actually really like headcanoning Leo as aro MLMāthereās like no rep for arospec peps who arenāt aroace or grayacearo etc. and they donāt always go hand in hand. I feel like itās a good way to tie in Leoās canonical attraction to men (portal jacked episode) and his romance aversion. I do see Leo as very cluster B coded as well but you make such a valid point. They unfortunately get the emotionless accusations all the time too and Iām gonna hhhshegiedš¤ŗš¤ŗš«Æš«Æš«Æš¢š¢š¢
Leo is very charismatic! Heās charming! Heās the face man! He also thinks romance is gross. Duality. Heād flirt with someone and then get grossed out when they flirt back LMFAOJEDO. But heād so hype his brothers up! (Of course heāll like you, youāre adorable!! - Hypno episode early s1 I forget the name lmfao is that when Warren was introduced??)
Donnie has so many feelings. That boy has feelings so big he canāt control them no matter how hard he tries to mask (and oh boy does he TRY). Donnieās arguably the most sensitive out of all of them! Low empathy characters can be emotional, empathy has nothing to do with how someone expresses their feelings. People just. forget what empathy actually is. He has a hard time putting himself in other peopleās shoes, understanding their emotions, but that doesnāt mean he doesnāt care he cares so much!! And being romantically/sexually interested in people has nothing to do with how empathetic you are idk why this narrative exists Iām going crazy. And PLEASE guys platonic relationships are not less than romantic ones we should all write more QPRS and give characters unconventional relationship dynamics.
DONNIE IS A HOPELESS ROMANTIC CHAT PLEASE PLEASEEEEEE. Heās a theatre kid. Heād be reciting monologues from Shakespeare to his crush. The VISION guys. Weāve gotta stop falling for his emotionless bad boy persona propagandaāheās 14 and trying to seem cool. That boy is a dork and a bisexual disaster
