Ever Think About How 12 Leo Was Kinda Out Of Touch With Reality Sometimes During The Space Arc ?? Space

i've read one too many fics about leo not making it back from the prison dimension

This is enough doodles for an art dump right

I totally forgot I'm Bi HAHAHA. I love the image, I'm going to show it to everyone so they know what happens if they don't respect bisexuals

HAPPY BI VISIBILITY DAY TO EVERY SINGLE BISEXUAL OUT THERE 💖💜💙

Its not a fathers day.

Where’s that post about Leo actually being the least talented of his brothers and he has to train constantly to reach the level that we see him at

I’m thinking about it again

One thing I've learnt about designing - like character design for example - is to trust the process, trust the instinct and to let some time pass before reviewing it. That means for one, when I'm starting and don't have the feeling of getting anywhere, to not be pessimistic but simply try out more ideas! A good design isn't something that comes from that one extraordinary spark of creativity, it comes from going through a long process of experiments and singling out those ideas, that fit best! And also- it has to feel right for me. I can come up with something that looks good but still doesn't feel exactly right, exactly fitting...but especially for a character, I will know once I've found something that works. I would like to call this instinct, but it's probably just an impression of an aesthetic that looks nice and works storytelling-wise. And most important though! Let some time pass before reviewing it and working on your designs some more. On the next day I will often find that there's an aspect I forgot to work out, or that I want to stress more, or I might have a clearer head to understand what might not yet be working.

Some Leo studies that I decided to put colour on (also Raph is there)

Guys is this trend still a thing? Guys? GUYS- COME BACK-

I’ve been watching MHA recently can u tell

LEO PUSHING RAPH TO SAFETY BUT GETTIN KILLED IN THE PROCESS

YOU CAN EVEN SEE THE TEAR TRACKS AS  HE DOES THIS

Leo's Mom Moments™ counter in Turtle Temper:

Shushes and lightly scolds Raph and Mikey to be quiet on missions

Stops them again with a, "Alright, enough," when Raph is forcing praises out of the youngest.

Grabs Raph's arm, stopping him from pulling out his sai and attacking human Spiderbytez and says, "Let's go."

Gets mockingly called Mommy by the dude right afterwards.

Is the first one to reach forth and hold Raph back when his brother's weapon was called Salad Tongs and Raph tried to attack. (Donnie and Mikey join later.)

Elbows his brother so he would say, "Please"

"Okay okay. Thankyou, Raphael, I will take over." (Manages to make him mellow out with just an upset pout like a child)

Worries about Raph walking away from the fight all of a sudden and gets distracted enough to be downed temporarily.

Disappointed Mom Lecture ™

Going, "Not now, Donnie," when in lecture mode.

"Hey." Stops Donnie and Mikey from beating each other up when they're pulling their silly shenanigans and then shushes them with a glare.

Shushes human Spiderbytez

"Don't worry. The four of us can handle it." (Tries to reassure)

This proud smile:

"Well, you've been punished long enough. Come join us." (If this isn't a Mom dialogue, I don't know what is.)

Gives a proud compliment at the end.

.........

Also, just seeing Raph listening to Leo throughout the episode (when he wasn't too angry that is) like a duckling following it's mother. Like, he mellowed down with an angry pout so many times!

Counting all these moments, it makes sixteen in total, in a single episode! Imagine how much could there be collectively throughout the series and in-universe comics and the Half-Shell Heroes movie.

I think I should do Leo's Mom Moments counter for every episode I rewatch now. See how high it actually is throughout the series.
