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.

what a way to celebrate saving the world

Here is one, the name of the girl is Chloe and this fanfic is one of my favorites and the most sweet.

I like the headcanon that 2012! Leonardo is good with children being that he is the older brother of the turtles and also that canonically he is sweet with Mickey (consoling him, letting him hug him, take care of him or laughing at his jokes).

The dudes having teatime!!

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.

he’s only had his turtles for like a week but if anything happens to them he will kill everyone in this room and then himself

TMNT 2012 premiere promo from 2012!

The scenes is really great, the dialogue, the sound effects and the camera movements were incredible, I would have loved it if they used the phrase from Sun Tzu in his book The Art of War "It seems that you are weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak". Being that in Avatar the legend of Aang Uncle Iroh puts it into practice.

But yeah, I see here a lot of little and older brother energy

Probably one of the most little brother moments I’ve ever seen
