No me sorprendería
TMNT is such a bizarrely cruel franchise for what it is; EVERY version we’ll spend 90% of the story like “Hahe funny pizza 🤡” and then cut to 30 years later and 3 of them are dead and the fourth one goes insane talking to their skulls in a bunker or smth
NO BC 12 LEO WAS LEGIT EXPERIENCING PSYCHOSIS.
WE CANONICALLY SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR THE TURTLES TO TALK TO SPIRITS / THE SPIRIT OF THEIR FATHER. ESP IN VISION QUEST AND AT THE END OF THE DEMODRAGON ARC.
SPLINTER'S ALL GLOWY AND STUFF AND GHOSTS IN GENERAL IN THE SHOW DONT LOOK LIKE SOLID BEINGS.
LEO WAS 100% THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD SEE SPLINTER WHEN HE TALKED TO HIM AFTER HE DIED.
BESIDES, SPLINTER TALKED TO ALL HIS SONS BOTH TIMES HE WAS IN SPIRIT FORM. THE FACT DONNIE COULDN'T SEE HIM JUST CEMENTS THE FACT THAT SPLINTER NEVER REALLY WAS THERE.
I'M JUST- I NEED A MOMENT-
I love the little details in this show! Raph holding onto Leo for support, and Leo keeping a hand on his arm the whole time, is just so cute. Such a good episode for protective big brother Leo!
found an old wip of human leo designs and decided to finish it up :3

OH MY GOODNESS CLICK FOR QUALITY TUMBLR BOTCHED IT SO BAD,, ,
hi leo hey hey hey i fixed your fuckin problem /hsrs but i am so serious. it looks short because its extendable :]
shoves my headcanons into your hands. thank you and goodnight
Ever since the ROTTMNT movie came out, I've been pretty obsessed with the 2012 and 2018 TMNTs, I love both versions and I love the personalities of all the turtles.
So when I went on the internet with the intention of reading some crossover fanfics between these two versions, it filled me with great sadness to see people writing about how "abusive" the 2012 brothers are and how "healthy" the 2018 brothers are.
Me personally I don't see the brothers from 2012 being abusive, as their interactions remind me of the ones I have with my friends, who are almost like my brothers. When I saw your TMNT fanfic where you didn't drag the 2012 turtles through the mud just for having different ways of loving other than physical contact, I was filled with a lot of emotion and affection for your work. I think what I like the most is that you include more action. LITERALLY the ninja turtles is action with plot, it is the best of the franchise definitely.
Chapter 8 is so close to being done ADHD please just let me write I want more nice comments!!!
Something I noticed about 2012 Leo is that he doesn’t seem particularly comfortable with hugs.
The only times he initiates a hug are 1) “Riddle of The Ancient Aeons” when Leo hugs Raph to calm him down on the Angey planet, 2) “Journey to the Center of Mikey's Mind” with smol Mikey, and 3) those times when the boys all group hugged Splinter after SPOILERS would happen.
Every time he is hugged he is for whatever reason somewhat uncomfortable with it.
Raph hugs Leo in “Follow the Leader” and Leo struggles at first thinking Raph’s attacking him, before Leo pulls out of the hug and goes for a fist bump instead.
Raph hugs him in “Clash of the Mutanimals” and while Leo smiles, he still goes “alright alright,” showing he’s not totally comfortable with the hug
April hugs him in “Eyes of the Chimaera,” and he is surprised at first before hugging her back
He dismisses hugs from Mikey repeatedly (such as in “New Girl in Town”)
In “Within the Woods” we have the double-whammy of Mikey hugging Leo when he first wakes up, and then Raph side-hugging him later. Leo flinches both times (tho that can obviously be explained as him being in pain lol, but it doesn’t help his track record)
In “Earth’s Last Stand” after Leo comes back from his one-man mission, Raph (followed by the others) all hug him and he looks confused
Leo is a decently affectionate person. He gives head pats, wraps his arm around his brothers, leans on them, etc., but he canonically doesn’t seem to be too particularly fond of hugging. He’s not averse to it, he’s just uncomfortable/surprised whenever someone hugs him.
Its not a fathers day.
Just wanted to let you know that I've been listening to your "I loved him playlist" and ugh it's sooo so good I'm literally obsessed it's so easy to picture bakugo blasting these songs in his car and then continuing to blast them in his bedroom with a bucket of ice cream while crying over the blueprints that would've been his and deku's joint agency </3
thank you lmaoo it was so fun to put together back when I was crashing out over 431 :') <3

I've been rewatching the 2012 show (AGAIN)
And I got a quite nice amount of screenshots.
(Leo edition because I realised I have the goofiest ones from him and idek why but he has many silly frames I can't even pack in here)
current obsession: TMNT and a little of BNHA. Stan of Leonardo 2012 and Izuku
