Fun fact about the recent chapter of Turtles In The Roaring 20s!
In this scene, Mona Lisa overhears a conversation between 3 women who are fawning over Raphael.
These women are actually a reference to 3 of Raphael’s love interests from other versions of TMNT!
Specifically Joi (2003 series), Mezcaal (Archie comics) and Alopex (IDW comics)

joi is underrated and was underused in the 03 series :// also i’m convinced she bleaches her hair lol

who said ily first for each of my fav tmnt couples
just to be clear this is mostly canon or semi-canon pairings
1987
leolotus
leo said the words “i love you” first. tho if you wanna be technical about it, lotus’ feelings were thrown out in the open by shredder before that hehe. pretty sure lotus had a mini meltdown when he outed her like that lol
kalangelo
kala. and right before michelangelo was gonna say it too. beat him to it by just blurting it out lol
ramona
mona lisa. *yeets some angst at you* it was right before the turtles went on a dangerous mission, and mona was trying to assure him that everything would be okay. they weren’t together yet, but rather in a “super affectionate best friends with mutual feelings that they’re hesitant to even mention” phase but mona saying it kind of opened the door to them finally facing their romantic chemistry.
2012
leolotus (my version)
leonardo. it was the first time lotus had heard the words so sincerely since her childhood, so it hit hard. she eventually said it back.
ramona
monaaaaa. (canon) *points sword at raph* SAY IT BACK.
apritello
april. haha hear me out. donatello, while flirtatious for a while, never actually said those words to her until she said it. april started saying it platonically to all the boys and he would reply ily2 in response, but when april was finally ready to admit her romantic feelings for him, she said the words in a more romantic sense. donatello was rlly flustered about ever saying it first tho until well after they started dating. awkward lil dork.
renetangelo
michelangelo. tho he didn’t exactly say it to her. he said something like “i love that woman” to his brothers but she overheard and responded “i love you too” and mikey short circuited cause he didn’t think she heard him lol.
2003
jhannatello
jhanna. she said it in her first language, so donatello didn’t know that was what she said. she said it several times in passing, until eventually he asked what it meant and she confessed it meant she loved him.
joiraph
raphael. i don’t have a specific scene in mind i just know he did it.
leolotus (my version)
lotus blossom. unlike the others lol. my 2003 lotus is technically a villain for longer than the others, but she had clear feelings for leo almost from the start. however, when she finally did switch sides, she sacrificed her life to save him and said ily right before. buuuuut he saved her so,, yeah.
