Journey Through A Brainiac’s Brain

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
