WHAT IS HE DOING
IM SO CONFUSED
I JUST WANT XEM TO BE HAPPY LIL GUACAMOLE BABY
Xe is not doing anything specific in the drawing. The text applies to various things that do happen in Tentative Devotee
That being
Push those feelings down
Get started on the task
It's not about him, right?
For family. Whichever one.
( It's okay, xe can be a little guac baby who knows the horrors at the same time :) )
I Know Trainee's nto gonna end up w Usagi in your AU becuz I know Usagi is a strictly fictional character but if it's okay with you: what would trainee with maybe yuichi or somthin be like?(again if thats okay wiyh you)
While Usagi will never be more than a fictional character within Tentative Devotee, I don't mind exploring what it'd be like if Usagi was a love interest! TL;DR
Oblivious Dumbass x Awkward Dumbass
They'd meet at Hueso's. Yuichi stumbles into it on accident mid-argument with Chizu when trying to navigate New York for some sorta mission. Maybe they'd start dating pre-Shredder and he'd support Leonardo through their "everything I knew about my life was a lie" identity crisis
This is purely hypothetical and an AU within an AU, but I hope this suffices.

For the TD!AU Asks thing:
What was Leo and Hueso's first meeting and/or meetings like?
and/or
How did their relationship devlop to a point that Leo feels like he can really open himself up about his Foot Family?
P.S.: Really excited for the next part of the TD Comic! And excited for more of that fic with ur twin (real life twin, or...?)! U don't have to answer that if you don't want to, I was just curious).
Double P.S.: I love Separated AUs and/or Leo Separated AUs, and urs is a very interesting take on it; plus!, ur art and comics are just so nice, cute, and colorful!
Saying that, I am now curious/kind of want more "Leo Corruption" stuff.
(Age 11) Leonardo: *Absolutely awestruck*
Hueso: Whose child is this???
Leonardo accidentally stumbled into Run of the Mill Pizza while playing with Cassandra and the kid just froze. For the first time in all of his memory, he's actually seen so many yokai/mutants.
Hueso knelt down and decided to talk to this very clearly confused child, asking if he was lost and where his guardian was. To which Leo responded with a barely coherent rush of sentences because his whole world changed.
Meanwhile, for the past 10 minutes, Cassandra tore through an entire alleyway until she herself falls through the wall.
Initially, there had been some panic because, well, a random human showed up— but Hueso's worry was settled when she kicked his shin and stood protectively over Leo.
There's a lot of Hueso and Leo stuff I wanna explore eventually through some doodles, but I hope this gave ya something! ^^

Bonus:
Also, eee I'm glad you're looking forward to the fic update! Yeah, real life twin! + I'm so so so happy you like my take on separated Leo! It's been buzzing around in my mind and I'm just happy to draw it! And I'm even happier knowing that people are genuinely interested in it :)
You have no idea how many Leo AU ideas are in this brain, but I'm trying not to have like 5000 drafts
just saw that your leo stole his moped and i’m very curious as to how that happened??
like did he play gta with casey and go “i wanna do this lols” or was it an accident during a mission/training activity and he realized that he couldn’t exactly give it back…?
idk i bet it’s goofy tho
FINALLY ANSWERING THIS ONE!
The second one is correct! Prior to Tentative Devotee - Enemies, Leo (age 14) and Casey (age 16) got a little reckless during one of Casey's, as she put it, "side quests"—
And by the time they stopped panicking and made it home safely— they decided to just keep it because... uh... oops.
Fun things to do with your siblings? Theft!

Sooooo.... the disaster twin stuff really got my heart in the oof ouchy ouchy. How about Mikey and Raph? I feel like we haven't seen much of their POVs nothing against Donnie at all but I'm super curious
Hey! I kinda just scroll through Tumblr when I'm on my break sometimes and I just wanna say that your stuff's fucking cool. And as someone raised in a cult as well I'm very intrigued to see where you go with Tentative Devotee.
Mikey and Raph are...
It's hard to draw family portraits when you're not growing with us
How were you gone so fast?
Also: Aww thank you! I'm glad you're intrigued. I hope my upcoming work is enjoyable!

Hey, in TD Leo is a trans man right?
And considering the fact that the mad dos refer to him as their brother that mean he came out before he disappeared...
So two questions: 1. When did he came out to his family,(will you do a mini comic?🥺🥺🙏🙏)
2. What was his "birth" name (Venus?😋)
Btw I absolutely love your art, comics and the fact that you make doodles for even the smallest questions, so thank you💕💕
Yep! Leo in Tentative Devotee is transmasc! (maybe not fully a binary man, but uses the term man still)
1. There will actually be a very brief section in a main comic part for a later story! We're not close to the part where I want to bring it up yet, but for now, a very abridged version of how it went:
Leonardo came out to Donnie first in mid 2012, over a year before he went missing. By the twins' birthday, he was out to everyone.
And yes, Leo's deadname is 'Venus' in this AU! The 'Leo was once Venus' headcanon lives rent free in my brain.
(Also, thank you sm!!! I really love making art for this AU and it's generally hecking fun!! I'm glad you like my stuff!)

Ok so the charm half that broke was Donnie's half, correct? And he repairs it and gives it to Trainee in the future. Does he know trainee is Leo at this point? Does Leo recognize the charm? What happened to Leo's original half of the charm? Did it just get lost when Leo also got lost?
The fact that Leo loves charms is precious to me. Sorry for so many charm questions.
Don't worry about the charm questions, I love answering and clarifying them! TD!Leo and charms is a big thing for me :)
1. Actually, it was Leo's charm that got broken! Leo's charm has blue on the top, while Donnie's has purple on the top (for those who have trouble with seeing the color, Leo's has the one where it's brighter on top) When Leo went missing, it was one of the only things his brothers and Splinter could find
2. At that point in the story, Donnie already does know that Trainee's Leo!
3. Donnie kept both his an Leo's charms away in a box. Donnie can't bring himself to fix it even if he wanted to, as it's a reminder of his self-percieved "failure" to fulfill their promise of being at eachother's sides through everything.
I will reveal more whenever we get to the part of TD where this scene takes place. I hope this helps!
