Exploring the map
When the Hawkins adopted Leo, the book about Captain Flint is the first gift they give him. He’s adored and treasured that book ever since.
When reunited with his brothers and talking about interests, they get on the subject of favourite stories/media. Leo learns about Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu, and he gets to tell and show his brothers the Treasure Planet book.
Waooooow
Leo be solving that map orb
Something I’ve been thinking a bit about lately is how April and Leo would get along. Since arriving to Earth, April has been the first person he’s met whose life has some similarities to his: they’re both an only child, and the two of them sometimes find themselves comparing and contrasting their school lives.
This then stems another thought: Donnie’s growing envy of the life Leo has lead. Hearing more and more about his lost brother’s life makes him feel increasingly envious and accidentally resentful of his brother. It’s not fair to him that Leo got to have a relatively normal life with an actual house and going to school while Donnie, Mikey, and Raph lived in the sewer and have never attended a school because of their whole situation.
Favorite scenes from Treasure Planet? Not just referencing the ROTTMNT AU, just from the OG in general? One of the most underrated animated films, fr. Watched it over and over as a kid.
The entire movie is my favourite scene /j
Hmm. I’ll have to say the scene where Jim finds out that Silver is indeed the cyborg Bones warned him about is one of my favourites.
Also the one where Jim is fighting Scroop while B.E.N. is trying to find the right wire to pull to disable the cannons. I loved that one since I was a kid. 😁
Since you're doing screenshot with Leo in Treasure Planet, could you make that scene where Silver comforts Jim (or in this case Leo) after screw up (a.k.a. Scoop's sabotage)? You know that scene when Jim feels down and Silver tell him this.
SILVER: Now, you listen to me, James Hawkins. You got the makings of greatness in ya, but you gotta take the helm and chart your own course. Stick to it, no matter the squalls, and when the time comes you get the chance to really test the cut of your sails and show what you're made of...well, I hope I'm there...catching some of the light coming off ya that day.
And Jim feels touched by his words he hugs catching Silver off guard.
Honestly one of the best memorable heart-touching moment in movie.
I do have the shot of Jim leaning his head against Silver’s belly saved! It’s gonna be a bit before I get to it cuz I have a few other shots I wanna edit first. 😗 couchcoughthefirstopeningofthemapshotscoughcough ugh sorry I got something stuck in my throat
You know, you said that that Leo would have difficulty to accept Splinter as his dad because of adoptive father, but what about John Silver? He might be the bad guy of the story, but he actually he could be a good father figure. I mean in Treasure Planet Silver became a mentor and a true father figure Jim never had, that's the whole core of movie and why people love it so much.
Yes, Silver is a father-figure, emphasis on figure. Silver taught valuable lessons hardly taught to Leo and helped him grow as a person and look forward to the future.
Splinter, however, is Leo’s father by blood/mutation. With that being known to him, there is pressure felt for him to bond with Splinter. And after being abandoned by his adoptive father, he’s more reluctant to get to know him.
Silver didn’t set out to be like a father to Leo, so there was no pressure to actually bond with him. The bonding just happened. Bonding with Splinter, however, feels like an obligation he isn’t sure he’s ready to fulfil.
The Hawkins take refuge at Delbert’s mansion after the Incident.
A little thought I had for when Leo gets back from the treasure hunt: while staying with Delbert when the Inn was being rebuilt, Leo sometimes snuck down to the stables to give Delilah, Delbert’s excitable steed, snacks.
Choosing emotional violence today
Leo’s reluctance to bond with and accept Splinter as a father stems from his adoptive father leaving when he was about 10. He blames himself for it, even when told it’s not his fault.
He tries keeping Splinter at arm’s length, going as far as to call him “Mr. Splinter”. The hurt from his father leaving has him afraid of being disappointed and abandoned by another potential dad.
Did a couple of my own drawings for this au, including the aftermath of Mikey getting a little too excited about meeting Morph.
Having grown up as an only child, Leo struggled with learning what it’s like to have and be a brother. The chaos, noise, and disregard of personal space were a shock to his system, causing him to nearly throw in the towel a few times. But with time and patience (and much needed alone time), he does bond with his siblings.
Accepting a new father, however, may prove to be a bit more difficult…
Hi, I have a question about the AU your working on. Are you going to write this, is it going to be a comic, or is it going to be more like a proof of concept story.
I'm rilly excited to see where this story goes and I hope your having an amazing day.✨
I’m not great at consistently writing a multi-chapter story. 😅 Comics even less so. But I may write some snippets of the story that I may really want to write down and get out of my head.
Right now, tho, it’s just gonna be Leo drawn into screencaps from the movie plus whatever other drawings I come up with that aren’t from the movie!
Leo and John Silver!
While working on these, I try thinking about where Leo’s mental state is at in certain scenarios and how he’d wear his mask to show that.
Does it get complicated when Leo uses his portals to get to his brothers? Like, they keep moving around or something and it turns into a wild goose chase until they *finally* meet in person?
When learning how to use his ninpo, he doesn’t immediately try to get to his original home world. He’s gotta get a hold of it first, and that means taking baby steps.
This all being encouraged and supported by the people around him, like Captain Amelia, Delbert, Sarah, and Silver. Even the Hamato ancestors chip in some. By the time he works up to making portals to very far away places, they’re pretty steady and accurate.
What incident causes Leo to actually reunite with his brothers? Or did they go out into space looking for Leo?
*rubs my hands together*
So, Leo will be getting his ninpo before he reunites with his og family. I haven’t figured it all out yet, but it starts when John Silver pays the new Benbow Inn a visit one day with information he’s heard while running from the law. It involves portals being made to other parts of the universe by criminals like traffickers to sell “rare” items or creatures (this being how Leo ended up in the Treasure Planet universe in the first place).
Thing is, it takes a lot of energy to make a portal (if you remember in the movie, the Treasure Planet is one big mechanism that makes portals to anywhere in the galaxy), so creating a portal to wherever you want it to go would take time and resources.
Leo getting his ninpo would help with making one a whole lot easier. He just needs to hone it so that he can open portals wherever he wants them, including one back to where he once belonged.
How does he get his ninpo when his brothers aren’t around, tho? Simple: have a loved one tossed off the side of a tall building or cliff by a villain and then go jump off after them! Everything’ll work out before going splat. 😁
Treasure Planet/ROTTMNT AU? Nice!
Yeah! Funny thing, tho, the idea stemmed from another au of mine I like to call Hannah Montana!Leo where Leo is secretly a rock star and makes music even his brothers enjoy.
I was listening to I’m Still Here and imagined him singing it in Jim Hawkins’ outfit for a face reveal music video, and I just loved the idea of Leo in Jim’s outfit so much that I just drew him in a screenshot from the movie…and I enjoyed it so much I wanted to do more after that!
Leo meets Morph!
I’ve been thinking a lot about various parts of the story, one of which being the reunion. I like to think that the Hamato brothers would be hella jealous of a lot of things Leo had and done growing up. He had two parents at one point, he lives on another planet, surrounded by aliens, he’s been to space jail, on a space treasure hunt, and fought space pirates! Not to mention he’ll be attending an interstellar academy one day.
“COME ON!”
Leo does have Jim’s mechanic knowledge in this au. When he inevitably reunites with his og family, he and Donnie bond over tech and building one’s own vehicles. Of course, the universe Leo lives in is far more advanced than Earth.
I’ve decided this’ll be Leo’s canon appearance. I gave his mask some wear plus a little mystery for him to ponder on for years.
