Leo really doesn't like to think about death.
I mean, we all saw how much impact Karai's death had on all of Mad Dogs but Leo was the only one that had to be dragged from her, yelling after her, he really, really didn't want to lose her.
And I think when he lost her it left a deep scar.
I saw posts talking how Leo wants for things to get back to normal and pretend nothing happened, which I completely agree with. I think it's in big part because of his fear of repeating losing a close one.
He REALLY doesn't want to even acknowledge death.
Here Raph seemed to be getting through to Leo-
-but the moment he mentions possibility of his family dying?
Nope, time to deflect, joke and feign ignorance.
Leo's aware that death is a big part of being a responsible hero and that's why he'd rather goof off with his brothers and not train.
Because obviously when you ignore something it just dissapears, right? So if they ignore severity of certain situations and possibility of dying it won't happen, right?
If they don't treat it seriously they'll be fine! Totally!
Then Raph shields Leo from the Krang and sends him away.
And it's as if Karai's death stared right in his eyes.
So Leo picks up the slack of leadership in order to save Raph. He behaves carelessly during this time but can you really blame him, he desperately wants to save his brother, to stop yet another family member from death that he is so scared of.
He still tries to be positive and nonchalant, that "pfff obvioulsy everything will turn out alright!" but at the end of the day, it's not that simple.
Casey's speech had hard time to really hit Leo, he's still avoiding confronting resposibility, literally and metaphorically turning away from it. But the moment Casey says Leo's whole family died?
Now that made an impact.
And every time his family is in terrible danger he looks absolutely terrified and basically every time Leo has to be dragged away to not just return and try to save them again.
And when there's nobody to drag him away?
First thing he does is sacrifice himself. Because I don't think Leo is scared of his own death, or at least he is not as scared of him dying as his family. He'd rather give away his life than live through another grief.
Obviously I'm not sayin that the rest of the fam isn't terrified of close ones dying. But while they seem less aware (Mikey) and/or more ready for the possibility (Raph)...
Leo's wholly aware but he'd rather not be and ignore his fears until he can't anymore.
He noticed you are looking a little down today (he also totally doesn’t also need one)

OMGGGG I LOVED YOUR WRITING WITH ICHIMATSU ( ≧Д≦)
If it's not too much trouble, could you write something with Osomatsu? (。•́︿•̀。) Only if you want to!
Thank you, have a nice day/night! ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
OMG THIS WAS SO NICE TO FIND ! I already had something written for Osomatsu actually, as he's my favorite, but that was specifically for my self insert. I wrote something new for this request instead! Though, lemme know if y'all want my self insert content too..
Osomatsu fluff, horror movie, his pov, no specific gender on reader.
Word count: 437

Osomatsu was being incessant. It was one of his best qualities, actually, if anyone were to say anything. And he was using that best quality on you today, bugging you at your place of work, causing looks from any passing customers. It's not like he cared.
"C'mon! You're not doing anything, why not watch a movie with me?"
"Oso, I've told you I'm no good at watching horror movies."
"I'll hold ya if you get scared," he teased, giving you one of his best grins.
"Fuck no."
He wilted, hanging his head and groaning loudly before perking in a second.
"Look! Look. One movie; no smooching, no grabbing, not even touching."
Unless you want me to-
"Fine."
His eyes widened. Was he still in his head? There was no fucking way you really-
"My place, I'm guessing. One horror movie."
"Yes! Yes, oh my God- uh-hah-" He was still in disbelief.
"I'll see you at ten."

This was bad. He was gripping his jeans, sitting straight, and it wasn't even cause he was struggling to keep his hands off you. Well, he was, but for different reason than usual. You sat with a knee up, wearing comfy clothes that he had never seen you in, and with a bowl of popcorn in your lap. He couldn't even look at you, the screen having his attention. It was a typical horror movie scene, some girl making the wrong choices in a chase, and he was sweating. You had no reaction, seeming almost bored, and he had really thought he'd be fine. Things weren't how he planned at all.
"Oso?"
He flinched, only noticing he had been shaking thanks to your question. "I'm fine!"
Looking at you, your expression seemed amused, if a little confused.
"Okay, if you say so."
The screen flashed with a jumpscare and he screamed, jumping and crawling up on the back of your couch, eyes closed tightly. He screamed again when he felt something touch him, eyes opening wide in a panic and just seeing your hand. You had leaned over; the popcorn bowl was set on the side table. He could feel his face burning.
"Do you want me to hold you?"
He looked down at his own lap, your hand on his knee.
"You think I'd ever say no?" He replied, still trying for his typical type of response. You rolled your eyes, seeing through him easily and scooting close, wrapping an arm behind him. The fear was worth it, he thinks, his head on your shoulder so he could turn into your soft hair when things got too scary.
the tags In your fic, specially the one that says "leo/donnie/mikey" is that tcest?
God no!!! It probably got cut off (I'm assuming you meant on ao3), but all together it's leo/don/mike/raph/reader, meaning they share the reader insert character. My fics will never have any tcest!!
....his shirt seemed a little empty, so...
it’s really interesting that the staff keep bringing up this idea of change in their comments. (I translated this from Google translate)
This was already translated
Obviously, there’s going to be some inherent differences between Kodaka and Fujita’s directorial styles, but I think they might also be deciding to lean more into a newer vision for the show. like, it don’t think it’s just them saying “guys there’s a new director, so there might be some changes from what you know” but I think they’re also saying “we want to use this opportunity to make some changes, we hope you like our decisions”
I don’t know if this is something they did with previous seasons, but they really seem to be getting us ready for something different in this new season.
I’m definitely a bit scared, but I’m way more excited… I wonder what they have in store for us?
