WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS

When Donnie touches the ground, he flinches.

His entire body tries to curl inward at the pain and he gives a tiny, barely audible gasp. Leo’s hand shoots up immediately.

He seems to hesitate, moving slowly and oh-so gently resting it on Donnie. And Donnie’s entire body relaxes.

His shoulders stiffen as his body acknowledges sudden contact against his chest, probably because that too is causing some pain.

AND YET: His mouth falls shut. The pain on his face smooths out. His head falls forward, his shoulders rise, all angling towards Leo.

And Leo’s eyes are what tells the entire story. They (expectantly) never leave him at any point and there’s not much expression to be noted outside of a mixture of sad/guilt/worried.

Then he lays his hand on Donnie.

And his little brother leans into it. He relaxes at the touch.

AND LEO’S ENTIRE FACE FALLS.

Out of everything happening right now, THAT’S what makes him look like he’s hurting. THAT’S what stops the leader from worrying and introduces the big brother who’s beyond disappointed in himself.

That tiny bit of subconscious comfort that Donnie reveals while leaning into the touch of the person who helped hurt him.

THAT is going to be what haunts him from this moment on.

What were his thoughts, when he first met Ice Cream Kitty? XD

This weeks @weeklymagmas theme was "Creature Companions" <3

Virus horror movies

Imagine 2003 Splinter in 2012. I don’t mean replace Yoshi but have both him and Splinter present.

Like Splinter is Yoshi’s (and Tang Shen’s) pet rat that somehow survived the house fire, and then made his way to Yoshi. Yoshi takes him to America with him and when he goes to adopt the turtles. Everything happens the same except the alley is now filled with 4 baby mutant turtles, 1 human turned rat mutant & 1 mutant rat.

(Or maybe Splinter is the pet of some random that’s killed by the Kraang. Maybe he as a rat gouged Kraang SubPrime’s eye out like he scratched Hun’s cheek in 2k3, and was then thrown out of a window and eventually ended up in the same alley as Yoshi.)

Either way they’re now a family unit of six. But here comes the fun part. Splinter canonically in 2k3 views Yoshi as his father, and so would this one. But the thing about Splinter is that he’s old. He looks old and sounds old and moves old. What I’m trying to say is that Yoshi has to now navigate being a father of 5 while his oldest is older than he himself is.

Imagine having to worry about your son dying of old age while also teaching him about the world.

This also opens up the possibilities of added angst to the Rat King episodes. And I don’t just mean 2 mind controlled people, I mean the differences the two have and how they affect how the control works on them. Because like. Splinter was not a normal rat. The guy was somehow able to learn ninjutsu WHILE a rat, and later with a completely new mutant body was able to teach it to others. Mind you, well enough that they’re able to go against professionally trained people like Shredder and Karai. So like. How would he fare against the Rat King’s control? Because despite all that he still was an actual rat before mutating, unlike Yoshi.

Also the image of the Hamato’s having to explain that Splinter is their brother and Yoshi’s son to every new person they meet is hysterical to me. Poor Karai learns that she has brothers AND that Yoshi’s her real father AND also that she’s apparently not the oldest AND her older brother is an elderly rat older than their father, all in the same night.
