let me talk about leo and donnie’s matching clothes pLEASE

plus a lil bit of mikey and raph near the end :>

so we all know the obvious ones like in ‘repairin’ the baron’ and in ‘man vs sewer’

but i want to talk about the little things hehe. starting with the two mentioned above anyways lmaooo

yes they’re matching but i love the little differences they add on. leo wears a blue undershirt, fully going ride or die with his blue theme, while donnie goes for a white undershirt for a more classic look.

i think that says a lil but about their characters and how they thought to present themselves to april’s mum (who they thought they were meeting). they both wanted to look good hence the stunning matching outfits, but leo also wanted to be himself (hence the blue undershirt), compared to donnie who wanted to appeal to april’s mother (hence the more classic look with the white).

in man vs sewer, they are both wearing the singlet and board short combo, however leo opts for simplicity and ‘laidbackness’ keeping the bare minimum and keeping his shirt loose and untucked. donnie on the other hand goes further and adds the extra decorative shirt to really hammer home the ‘i’m not a useful member of society’ and the holiday/break vibes he’s trying so hard to feel. he also chooses to tuck his shirt in, which i think is just a personal stylistic choice, one which extenuates and shows off the board shorts more and one which mirrors his belt that’s a part of his usual outfit.

now onto snow day :>

at a brief glance it doesn’t seem like they’re matching but you’d be wRONG! they’re wearing the same shoes, pants and scarf, however they choose different jackets and headgear according to their personal tastes (i also wanna point out how donnie’s pants are more boxy/puffy at the bottom to fit with his whole rectangle theme, while leo’s are tucked in firmly, providing a more angular/triangular look).

leo chose a sirius black looking leather jacket bc why wouldn’t he lmaooo. it very much screams leo in the sense of his faceman attitude and his ‘confidence.’ he also chose a beanie which provides a more hippie, laidback and cool vibe.

donnie, ever the nerd, matches his jacket and headwear, as they both have the light purple fluff. donnies jacket is also much more practical and feels like something you’d see skii-ers (how tf do you spell that), hikers and snow-bikers wear. he’s also wearing the ugliest fucking hat /lh that’s reminiscent of what those occupations also wear.

so what we can take away from this is that leo will look cool whatever the weather and donnie will dress for the practicality of the occasion.

now in the clothes dont make the turtle there are A LOT of matching outfits, not just from donnie and leo, for example, in the images above, all the boys are wearing classic black suits with white button downs, however they all style them differently.

i’d also like to note the slight differences on the collars of the suit jackets (leo and donnie’s are matching, mikey’s is more rounded with a lil point and raph’s mirrors his spikes).

they all style their suits differently by using different ties. leo goes for a black and blue striped tie, which i think showcases his sense of style and his playfulness in comparison to raph, who decides to play it safe with a classic one-toned tie.

mikey goes for a cute bowtie bc why wouldn’t he he’s adorable, and it also fits in with him being the youngest and ‘the baby’, as bowties are most commonly worn by kids.

donnie decides to completely forego the tie altogether bc he doesn’t need it, he’s already stunning 😩 lmao but i actually think he’s just really playing into his emotionally unavailable bad boy image.

there’s also these matching monstrosities for god knows what reason

and it’s not super matchy, but raph and leo also both rock the singlet under the open button down shirt (though the colours are swapped and leo pops the collar causes he’s an idiot /aff)

and lastly!! these outfits. now at first glance, you’re probably thinking ‘elva what the fuck are you going on about’ BUT just hear me out!!

they both have ripped aspects to their outfits, leo’s at the shoulders and donnie’s at the waist. it’s obviously not an intentional match but i think they just subconsciously did it :>

they’re also both wearing head accessories, though in totally different styles (leo with his backwards cap to look ‘cool’ while donnie adorns a beanie to complete his LA hipster vibe)

ugh i’ve met the image limit for this post so here’s the link to the post that continues my rambling lolol

continuing on from my last post about donnie and leo’s matching outfits

i wanted to bring your attention to donnies knee and shoulder pads, specifically the kneepads though.

now i want you to look at the image below (and cry :>)

leo also has kneepads, though they’re triangular to match his character design :>

(i know mikey also had kneepads in the series but mikey’s not dead soooooo)

and i’d also like to point out the belt. in the show leo’s belt looks like this

it’s slanted and has an extra strap that wraps around over his shoulder and shell.

though depending on the angle it sometimes look like it’s going straight across

the same goes for his outfit once they get their ninpo. sometimes it’s straight across, other times more angled, however both versions have the extra over the shoulder strap.

in his future outfit, the shoulder strap is removed and its just the belt straight across (with a slight curve to the top to blend with his shapes more). also, in the show and movie, the lil badge is off-centred to be the connecting point for the straps, but on his future belt it’s centred, just like donnie’s :>

also shameless self promo go listen to my casey jr song pinned on my blog LOL

Helloooo!! I've been wanting to learn how to write songs, and I was curious, how do you go about it?

:O im so honoured you asked me 🥺🥺

well, when i was younger i loved to make up silly little lyrics and melodies and then when i eventually got a keyboard i figured out some basic chords (aka pressing keys til stuff sounded good lmao).

once i started fooling around with the chords, i'd arrange them in a little pattern i liked. i recommend using four chords and just repeating them (this is still the basis for the majority of my songs lol).

once i got the chords i would just hum along until the humming felt right and fitted with the chords (i recommend recording yourself while doing this otherwise you may forget the melody you were just humming. i had to learn that the hard way lmao).

eventually, while humming and playing the chords i'd try to form words in place of the mindless humming. it sounded horrific at first, but that's how it always starts. i'd usually find a word that sounded nice and would build the rest of the line around it, or i'd figure out one line of lyrics and then look for rhyming words to figure out the next line.

music is a very strange process, at least for me. i don't have any music theory knowledge and i don't even know how to read sheet music. i am literally just fucking around and finding out 😎

if you don't have any physically musical instruments, that is a-ok :D

i started out using soundtrap to make music on my computer (i believe you can get it on phone and tablet as well, though for phones and tablets i'd recommend garageband). with soundtrap you can arrange different instruments and also record to create your own songs :>

i still use soundtrap at the moment and i think it's great for beginners. it's pretty easy to figure out through trial and error and there's loads of youtube videos explaining how to use it too!

although, some instruments and effects are unavailable (you have to subscribe to use them bleh), there's still a lot to choose from and it's a great way to get started :>

at the moment, my song writing process is still very much the same. i'll fiddle around with an instrumental melody and i'll start humming and figuring out the lyrics next. sometimes, it goes the opposite way. sometimes it's the lyrics and melody that i do first and then the instrumental (i find this a bit harder to ngl)

hopefully some of this is helpful, if not, feel free to slide back into my inbox and i'll happily answer more questions :D (this applies to everyone, pls ask away, i'd love to help <3)
