This Is How 2012!raph Saw 2012!leo

Lou Jitsu, 5 seconds after meeting Draxum and the kids:

Luca’s first day at school 😿

HEY FUN FACT: Did you know that Red-Eared Sliders have this fun behavior called “fluttering” in which they rapidly shake their claws at another turtle? It’s usually either a mating behavior or a show of dominance.

It reminds me a lot of stimming! So I like to think that Leo stims :)

can i just say one thing i really really love about Rise that isnt talked about enough is how the turtles never bully each other for their interests. there’s playful teasing or calling out bad behavior (like refusing to drop idols despite being bad people) but it never reaches a mean-spirited point.

they get to cosplay, dance, meet their fave celebs, etc… its all great stuff

on a scale from 1 to Father Thomas when he told Ryan and Shane not to invite the spirits or taunt them in any way - how often do you feel ignored by people?
