✨Welcome to the Turtle Blog!!✨

ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノAbout Me; Heyoo! My name's Milo✌️, I'm 20 y/o and have hyper-fixation for ninja turtles. Fun fact, I grew up watching the 2012 series (they're my blorbos) and just recently began reading the IDW comics!! I also like cartoons and animations in general, so don't be afraid to hit me up.

This blog is my way to show appreciation to the show, so anything from fanart/fan-animations to long-form analysis, you'll probably find them all here. Follow me if you like turtle shit posting content 👍

If I am to impart anything today…

To put it in one word… This.

If you get it, you get it.

I fucking hate that he pretends to have chosen randomly while actually having children already out of the competition (Mikey was never a choice) and while always intending to choose Leo as a leader (said later in the serie). It's both unfair to Leo and to his siblings. They never actually had a choice, Splinter was always going to push a clan hierarchy on them (I love him but sometimes he makes some pretty shitty choices!)

[imagionationstation]

Splinter pretended to have chosen randomly so Leo wouldn’t feel overly vain or cocky about his position. He made that very clear, later in the series. He also made it very clear that this was not a position that Leo could shirk because he was upset, as that’s irresponsible and risks his brother’s lives, as well as never hesitating to offer comfort or advise when Leo struggles.

Leo is the most responsible out of the four of them. He’s the most likely to take Splinter’s advice to heart. He’s the least likely to risk his brothers’ lives on a whim or impulse. He’s the most cautious and the most strategic. Not because Splinter made him that way, but because that’s who he is.

He’s also the eldest. He loves having control and he hates when someone else tries to push control on him, as most oldest siblings tend to. His brothers already respect/instinctively trust his choices. Leo acting as a leader, of sorts, is already branded into their family hierarchy, not because of some master plan, but because that’s how many family hierarchys work.

He’s the least likely to lose track of the mission to “knock heads” or lose his temper and make the situation 100 times worse.(Raph can’t handle having his brother’s lives in his hands anyway.)

Or get lost in his own world/treat serious situations like a game/underestimates the importance and weight of leading/gets distracted mid-battle/immediately assumes the best in people. (Mikey fights best when he’s leading himself and, while he follows orders well, he tends to neglect the team to do his own thing bc ADHD impulse.)

(These are all things they mature in LATER in the series. Not while this moment is happening in episode one.)

Or feel the combined pressure of leading and providing everything for the team. (Now that REALLY wouldn’t be fair to Donnie.)

He’s been watching his sons grow and mature for fifteen years. He knew they’d go above ground eventually. He simply paid attention to them and he accounted for it. All parents should know their kid’s strengths and weakness without too much thought. Splinter knew who would be strongest in the position.

Of course Leo ended up being the leader of his brothers. Nothing stupid about it. It just makes sense.
