The new chapter is finally ready. Thanks to everyone for waiting! But it's better if you don't read it! Okay, you can read it, but be careful! You’ve been warned. 👀 Thanks to @lavinia9000 for helping with the editing! 💝 Thank you all for your support, I really need it. 🤲💖

Can’t believe it took me this long to notice, but Leo and Cass’ casual clothes match in style!

This is a great opportunity for me to drop some references to their outfits! 💙🖤

Yeah, at one point they used to dress in the same style so that no one would recognize them when they went on dates. It became their own little thing, which also strengthens the bond between them.

What are your favorite LeoCass outfits? 👀

[sophie-laurel]

Curiosity got the best of me. What did Casey get for Sensei Leo? (Father's Day)?

[sophie-laurel]

When Leo and Cass had their first date, did Cass put any effort into finding an outfit for the occasion, or did she just throw on the first thing she found?

And speaking of which, Leo?! Why did you wear such a basic outfit?

Thanks for your question! 💙 I didn't give much thought to exactly how they picked out their outfits; they probably didn't buy anything specifically for this, but just found something in their closets. Although, maybe Cass did buy a dress just for this. Who knows. Not me. ~

And they would get so nervous before a date that their mood would swing back and forth, that's for sure.

I'm very scared of next chapter... Poor Leo is going to experience his first heart break😰

Yeah, things are pretty tense for these two right now. I don’t even know what to say. It’s the result of them being on opposite sides. Difficulties are inevitable in a situation like this, I guess

To be honest, it’s a liiittle hard to work on this chapter. Like, mentally. I’m not even discussing it with anyone; I’m just drawing while feeling the tension. But thanks to everyone who’s supporting me and waiting for the chapter. I’ll be happy to read your thoughts on it later. 💓 After I started focusing more on the visual aspects of the comic, I changed my plans regarding the number of chapters so as not to make readers wait too long. So, when it comes to the current chapter, I’m also wondering whether to finish it as is or split it into two parts. 😭 I'm still thinking about this while I'm actively drawing this chapter.

I decided to share another spoiler while I have the chance:

I know you liked how I drew Leo's shocked face in the last chapter, so here's another one from the next part. 👀 She says something. And it starts to rain. "Good things don't usually happen when it's raining" 😭

ok genuinely. why are we still doing this in 2026.

every fan comic artist on this site has built a tumblr master post and rage quit it at least once. you post page 1, link back to it from page 2, update the master post, forget to link page 7, someone reblogs page 4 with no context, they can't find the rest, they give up. it's a war crime.

we built fanon.co — your comics posted as one readable thing. no master posts, no chains, no fixing. one page after another, like comics are supposed to read 💛

drop us a DM if you have questions, or sign up at fanon.co to get started.

reblog this if navigating master posts has ever made you cry 😭

I LOVE YOUR COMIC SO MUCH! I have a question: Did Leo fall in love with Cassandra's personality because she was strong? Or because he saw kindness in her?

I LOVE LEOCASS SO MUCH, I HOPE YOU SEE MY QUESTION

Heeey, thank you for your heartwarming words and your question. 💝

To be honest, I’m not sure I really understand romance... I’m trying to figure it out through LeoCass. They kind of help me with that a little.

In any case, it’s hard for me to describe what Leo is feeling. More specifically, what exactly made him fall in love with Cassandra in my comic. I think it’s... um... everything.

For how strong and vulnerable she is. For how funny she is, or how she sometimes seems to lack a sense of humor. For how determined she is, or how she needs support. For how kind she is, even though she’s afraid to show it. Yes, maybe he also loves that he helps her, and she helps him. He likes that even when he’s sure he’s figured out almost all of her qualities, she continues to surprise him. I’ve also thought about how she reminds him of himself. It’s as if they’re both wearing "masks" and have insecurities they try to hide. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes not so much. They’re both trying to prove something to someone. Apparently, he’s found a soul mate in her. He’s seen a mystery he wants to unravel. For him, his relationship with her is a new experience. In its own way, very complicated, but interesting and exciting.

In short, I think he just likes being around her. He feels so many emotions when he sees her, and for him, this is something completely new.

Ugh, I’m so bad with words, but if I were to express all of this more from Leo’s perspective, that’s what I’d like to get at in the comics. 😣👍

Hola

Do you know how to make animations?

And do you have any drawings of Cass when she was a child?

I love your work 💖🎶💖

Thank you for your questions, I love your art! 🌸

I’d love to try animation, but I don’t have any time right now. I’m working and helping out with a few projects. But I dream of making an animatic. 💓 Maybe someday. I’ll definitely need some help, because I’ve never done this before. I drew Cassandra as a child in the comic when she visited the ice rink in her flashback. She’s missing a tooth and has a band-aid on her face; this was my way of showing that she’s been training hard since childhood.

Part 3 > Part 4

[sophie-laurel]

Hi, I really love your comic!! The pairing is so so cute 🩷🩷

I was wondering: because both Leo and Cassandra are closer, does Cassandra have a bigger role in the events of the movie? Or does she remain uninvolved until the aftermath?

Thank you! 💕

I plan to draw a comic based on those events someday, so I can’t say much about it yet, but I’ve already drawn Cassandra’s reaction to the events of the movie once. More precisely, it’s a sketch of how I imagine her reaction. I think in my au, she’d be really worried about Leo. And whether she’d actually take part in the action, I’m not sure yet. Being there in person and seeing how she almost lost him, that's... stressfuuul. 😢

Part 2 > part 3

[sophie-laurel]

Well, I know this isn't a question, but I was looking for some drawing reference and I found this image here:

When I looked at it, I immediately thought: "OMGG, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEOCASS IN THE LAST CHAPTER!!!! "

So I drew them with this reference, and I hope you like it :))

I tried my best to make this drawing because it was one of the first digital drawings I did and that's why it probably won't be that good😵‍💫

(I LOVE LEOCASS WITH ALL MY HEART, I NEED THE NEXT CHAPTER TO SURVIVE LOLL)

oh- OHHHHH!! This is your FIRST digital drawing?? This is amazing!! 😳✨ Really, this is so them from the last chapter, hah... The way you captured those emotions is incredible, it gave me goosebumps! gosh, I can FEEL it Thank you so much, I love it so much!! Literally crying from all these different feelings. 😭✨ It’s so inspiring. It really motivated me to draw and draw and draw. 🔥

[sophie-laurel]

COME ON!! GIVE ME SOMETHING LIKE A SNEAK PEAK THAT WILL HELP THEM NOT BE A BAD COUPLE!!!

I'm afraid that any sneak peeks won't make the situation any better, ahahah... I'm not sure yet what kind of spoiler I can share right now. 🤔 I'm a little worried about ruining the experience. Let's just reminisce about the sweet and heartwarming moments between Leo and Cassie. There were so many good things. 🤲💓

[sophie-laurel]

BRO!!! NO!!! YOU CRUSHED ME ON THAT LAST CHAPTER!!!

Didn't mean to! I hope you're doing well and have recovered from the chapter. 👉👈

[sophie-laurel]

I HAVE MISSED OUT ON THIS MUCH LEOCASS?!!!

My ipad's been broken, and I was afraid I was gonna lose my password, but I got it back.

Your art always makes me feel less stressed.

You're awesome!!

Yaay, welcome back and thank you!! 💗✨You're awesome! I made this f!LeoCass and little Casey sketch for you. 💙

[sophie-laurel]

OMIGOSHHHHHH YOUR WORKS ARE AMAZING!! SUPER LIKE I COULDN'T EVEN THINK OF THE WORDS TO COMPLEMENT BUT YOU SURE GOT ME HOOKED ON YOUR COMIC>:DDD it's soooooo soooooo good!! Style, perspectives, and how accurate you draw them OMIGOSHHHHHH and your storyyyyy it's so goooooddd like it's even better than splinters casserole wahahahs sorrie if I sound a little pushy or like loud, I was just doom scrolling here likes weeks ago then bumped into one of your posts and got curious like I was curious about the ship cause it sounded cute then best curiosity cause I love it sooooo much it got me rolling and tumbling in my bed😭😭 I love the progress of cass and leons dynamics and relationship and it's sooooo on character like if little me was reading this , she would've thought this was canon😭 I'm checking and checking for new chapters cause it's like a telenovela but in your amazing comic. I loveeeee how they low-key remind me of Romeo and Juliet and even they now have a thing, they still stick to their motives while caring for another 😭😭

After reading, so much songs I listened to remind me of cass and leon😭 like that song by Bruno Mars "Cha Cha Cha" and it has been a trend from TikTok where partners dance to that song and the dynamic reminded me of the two and I get all giddy imagining them dance to that song like it's perfect 😭 sorrie just check it out on tiktok if you got confused TvT it's such a cute reference

Anyways sorriee for um maybe disturbing cause I know you're working on your own stuff too and thus amazing comic TvT we'd loveeee to see more and how the story flows for them:>> and your skills drawing the tmnt characters are all chef's kiss for I'd love to be like you one day❤️🧡💙💜

Aaaawww, thank you!! Thank you for your kind words, they really motivate me to keep drawing the next chapter. 💞

I’m glad you like how I’m showing their dynamic. I decided to try sketching how they would record a TikTok for the trend you mentioned. Cass is nervous, but Leo really wants to do something like this together with her. 😅
