And my truth is Donnie does not cope with the apocalypse well because itās a literal fucking nightmare for his specific set of Issues
#I mean he was freaking out the entire movie (valid)#the guys a MASSIVE germaphobe#and the world got taken over by flesh aliens#and heād be all too aware of how BAD fhe situation is and what happens if we run out of smth etc etc#also the sensory issues?#constant noise from the krang probably#esp in the beginning. and thatās. horrific#texture wise?? the krang?? fuck that#donnie was absolutely going the fuck through it#the real reason he locks himself in his lab on tech duty is because he does not want to go outside#valid as hell#(and his tech is important but we canāt pretend Donnie wouldnāt be important in the field too)#future donnie is living through his worst case scenario#neurodivergent NIGHTMARE#not that the apocalypse isnāt horrible for everyone but itās just. Even fucking MORE#hate change? yeah the worlds ending lmfao#rottmnt#rottmnt donnie#yappology#think itād be a good way to explore how his brothers treat his neurodivergence#because heās not Handling it well but he has agency and WANTS to help#I could see a world where they try to baby him real bad and he gets pissed off#valid#f!donnie bonding with p!donnie sharing coping mechanisms for overstimulation heās developed over the years because. yeah#I THINK ITS CUTE#nobody ever understood how he felt and why it was so fucking Much on him#and p!donnieās got technodrome trauma he can relate#just thinking#also wanna be clear I donāt wanna make it sound like Donnie is less capable. he CAN handle it he just doesnāt have the coping skills at#first and itās also an objectivly difficult situation to be in.
