i was charmed by the leo hat inspector screengrabs @halogalopaghost snagged from that one episode so here's leo inspecting other things ie random pictures i had saved on my phone. featuring greatest hits such as: my cat, eraserhead baby, minecraft, and kurt russell from john carpenter's 1982 the thing.

look at him. he is inspecting them

[sassatello]

been thinking about this transition and how it how much it shows the boys’ personalities while they go undercover to find info on their missing friends in such a tiny time

like leo is very focused on getting as much information as he can (taking his job seriously) and mikey is being talkative and very comfortable talking to humans. (my good guy is chatty of course he loves being involved in the human world)

meanwhile raph emerges from the shadows looking very serious/ threatening (using intimidation to get what he wants) and don just hides as much of himself as he can and goes away very quickly (mysterious and reserved).

huh i had a point but this has been on my brain for quite a while now and i had to get it off my mind!!

Okay so, I wanted to expand a bit about what I meant in this post about Leo and Raph’s similarities. Pictured above are two scenes which highlight this very well: how they are two sides of the same coin, and can rather easily tap into that other side (coin metaphor be damned).

For Raph, here we have a scene where he is separated from the others, in “Across The Universe”. He doesn’t act his normal hot-headed self so much in this episode; instead he lectures his temporary companion about honour, before berating himself for sounding like Leo. This implies that he very much understands Leo’s personality as well as the necessity of it - so when Leo’s not there to fill that role, he steps up to do it.

For Leo, although season four isn’t the only time this happens, he gives in to his emotions, and is shown as much more aggressive in the scene above. Raph states that he doesn’t mind, that he enjoys Leo talking tough. This also suggests a kinship because they understand each other’s emotional sides very well. In “Lone Raph and Cub”, whilst Donnie and Mikey just tell him to calm down, Leo lets Raph take off to blow off some steam - understanding his emotios, as we also often see Leo take off to vent on his own.

Both sides are essential, which they clearly acknowledge. Raph prefers to be able to go head first into battle, but he understands the necessity of a leader and honour too: and trusts Leo in this role, to the point that he mimics Leo when he’s not there. Meanwhile Leo prefers the role of the leader, but he isn’t above giving into emotions and venting his frustrations on his opponents every once in a while: and understands Raph’s emotional needs because he shares them.

This is the (part 1 of 2) dynamic I love about them the most. Not the overused and exaggerated anger about following orders or whatever, but the similarity and mutual appreciation for their roles, and understanding. How easily Raph can act like Leo, even though he’d rather be Raph, and how easily Leo can act like Raph, even though he prefers being Leo. This is why I find their relationship so intriguing.

as you can tell, I was totally normal about one specific 03 turtle as a kid. Bunch of screencap redraws from the show.

hot take: I think he’s one of the more dangerous donatellos. Dude will just casually remove a plutonium core from a nuke and say NBD…

[whenistillgaveadamn]

Oh yeah, he was the one who literally drilled the Shredder into atoms after all.

Let's not forget that he rips off heads when he eventually does panic. 😊

Poor turtle has fallen onto his shell and struggles to get back on his feet

[forgetful-nerd]

Do you think that, just for a moment, Leo felt the urge to nudge him over with his turtle beak?

[whenistillgaveadamn]

Yes.

Just.

YES!

frodo getting criticized for decades for not doing much / not being a hero compared to sam is fitting when you consider mental health and strength is often trivialized. frodo carried the most dangerous and insidious item in middle earth for YEARS. ancient beings (elves, gandalf, etc) were taunted and tempted by it. boromir was corrupted within weeks without even touching it. men and hobbits turned against their brethren for it. killed for it. and frodo, with a wound from a morgul knife, bore it’s weight when no one else could. had it been anyone else, middle earth would have fallen.

no, he couldn’t have done it without his samwise. but isn’t that a lesson in itself?

[lionalovit]

I wanted to draw this little comic idea where all the Leos pass down lessons to each other 😊💙 I really like how it turned out! Especially since this was my first time drawing 2012 and MM Leo digitally 😁

[abbielauren2024]

Whelp, life might be kicking my butt… might be struggling to focus at work… might be crying a lot…

But at least I know I’ve got fanfiction waiting for me when I get home.

i hate it when people mistake "etymology" with "entomology." like, i know where they coming from but it still bugs me

[buginateacup]

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"
