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.

I've finally formed a thought that's been bugging me since the spoilers came out.

And that is the Eyes of Afo.

We can responsibly assume, based on Dr. Garaki's words, that Afo has some real (his own) eyes (and voice and smiling face).

And now we can assume that the current eyes - without color and pupil - are not his real eyes.

Earlier I had assumed that they were, of course, a quirk. For disguise, for a more appropriate image of the Demon King. But also don't forget that the Eyes are the mirror of the soul. And the most likely thing is that Afo wouldn't want anyone to look into his soul and know what's going on there. And the role of the Demon King does not imply the presence of a soul.

But then how and when did it happen? Surely we have met these eyes before in chapter 193, the anime version gave us the “red” eye color characteristic of the Villain.

I would like to say that in the early years Afo had a normal human eye with a pupil, but in profile, unfortunately, we can't see whether there is a pupil or not. But since Afo, as the composition then shows us, is among humans - it is logical to assume that the eyes would be pupilless - soulless eyes. Or maybe not; maybe there is a pupil here, but it just merges with the shadow, like Izuku's here, for example.

And based on that, we can already conclude that Afo's familiar eyes are a quirk. And perhaps the sight of real eyes was only available to a select few - Yoichi as his brother, and Doctor Garaki as his personal doctor.

But from the Doctor's words about Afo's real appearance, we can also conclude that Afo hasn't taken his real appearance for a long time. A very long time.

And I daresay that this switch to “permanent villain eyes” was at or about the time of Yoichi's death.

The composition is constructed so that Afo looks up at the Second, and we cannot see whether there is a pupil in his eyes.

However, we are further accentuated precisely by the eye, and we can see irregularities around the edge of the iris - as if the iris ring is subject to some kind of interference. And the eye becomes what we see in Afo's restored face and when Afo takes control of Tomura's consciousness.

And as a result: On the day that Afo is confronted with the Second's death - defying audacity, which is like saying that Afo will never win and get what he wants, (maybe Yoichi had just died before that point - covering his friend from a fatal blow, for example, or Afo realized that OFA's quirk with Yoichi's vestige had already been passed on to another person - which means his last chance to get his brother back was disappearing right before his eyes), Afo and lost the self he was with Yoichi, locked the real him deep in his soul, and he's been smiling ever since. And the smile doesn't reach his eyes.

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-

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

I’ve been watching MHA recently can u tell

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

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!!
