MEEEEEEEEEEEE
I’m coming for you @anobodyinabog @saspas-corner
#aggresive affection at its finest
here's a silly comic to keep you fed while I work on the next big UD AU update
*slams hand down on the repost bottom with a wild gleam in my eye* I will reblog healthy hard conversations till the day I die and YOU CANT STOP ME
Ep. 2. "The calm before the storm" Previous episode Masterpost So, here is the starting point... Raph got angry at first… But Leo drove himself as hard as he could, so even moralizing was not needed here
*bear poses at you before cackling madly and head butting you in affection*
You is de fren, and fren needs much of the lovin AND YOU CANT STOP ME BWAHAHAHA😈🧡🙌🏼
i love u unconventional ways of showing affection
I’m healing reading this 🥺🤧💙❤️🤌🏼✨
My heart thanks you @signanothername bless you hooman 🙏🏼🧡
Hey so remember this comic Yeah here’s a continuation, me and @intotheelliwoods are on war as to how we can break each other’s hearts, and in turn break yours too :)
anyway some notes cause this is full of headcanons
1- i like to believe Leo completely lost his ability to use his powers and tap into his Ninpo after Raph and DonDon's death, due to the emotional strain he suffered (going by the theory mystic abilities are heavily connected to emotions) unlike Mikey, Leo doesn't know how to deal with his bad emotions, simply ignoring them, and it just resulted in him losing his powers after so much emotional strain (i literally rambled about this on insta a while back fghjklsdfgh)
2- i like to believe Mikey learned how to absorb emotions out of people if that makes sense, u see Mikey holding Leo's face during their entire talk, Mikey was using his powers to absorb Leo's bad emotions, so that Leo can feel better
that's what the blue energy in Mikey's hands are, Leo's pain and sadness, and that's why Leo seems to actually open up instead of deflecting the convo with a joke or two, cause Mikey's powers made it impossible to do so
doing that however leaves Mikey to feel that pain and sadness, and generally speaking Mikey never does it unless as a desperate last measure, as Mikey prefers that his family open up by themselves instead of the influence of his magic
3- you see Leo calling Mikey "Mike", i like to believe the brothers use certain nicknames in certain situations, in this case, Leo uses the nickname "Mike" as a "i'm really not in the mood, this is serious", its very rare for Leo to use "Mike" outta all nicknames for Mikey, and Mikey hates when Leo uses that particular nickname cause he knows it's bad when Leo uses it, hence, why he resorts to absorbing Leo's bad emotions
4-ok so you see by the end that Leo gets to hug Raph one last time, this is Mikey's doing, Mikey's sharing his own Ninpo with Leo so his big bro gets to say goodbye to their eldest brother
moral of the story? Mikey's cool as fuck
@saspas-corner Here’s for 6 months of random friendship because of one fateful day in the comment section and thanks @ilivelikeimtrying for making this happen with your incredible analysis 😉🙌🏼🧡
*vibrates at a frequency that could shatter* I love this with every fiber of my entire being 🧡💙
The dynamic in Rise between the rest of the team and Leo is. so fucking funny. Because like you've got these three extremely talented individuals who all seem like perfectly reasonable people at first glance, right, but then if you squint hard enough you realize they're actually all batshit insane (affectionate) and the clown boy standing behind them is secretly their common sense.
Clown boy will occasionally put himself and the others in danger to Prove Himself or Prove Someone Wrong (see Minotaur Maze and the movie) but like otherwise... i think people forget Leo's overwhelmingly the voice of reason in most situations?
Raph, Mikey, and Donnie are all incredibly powerful boys with very specific skill sets. They are also, as a direct result of this, the WORST decision-makers on god's green earth lmao. When presented with a problem, Raph will smash, Donnie will blow shit up, and Mikey will razzmatazz. They will all run straight toward death with the same oblivious enthusiasm of a dog about to run straight into a screen door. None of them realize this and all of them think they are Extremely Good At Problem-Solving.
And the only guy cursed with the common sense to realize this is literally the LAST person anyone would expect.
When you look closely, the entirety of Rise is actually a chronicle of Leo trying to find new and creative ways to keep this team of superpowered fools alive while simultaneously white-knuckling his Cool Fun Guy persona so the others don't realize he's secretly the Boring Responsible One. Haha, you know what would be Cool and Fun, guys? Not going after the Spine Breaking Bandit lol. Getting home before the sun goes up lol. Evacuating that civilian lol. Not telling the guy dangling me off a roof "you won't, no balls" lol.
The sacred struggle of every iteration of Leonardo is thanklessly wrangling the most trigger-happy siblings in the world, and Rise Leo has not escaped it. He just does an occasional shenanigan to avoid detection and his brothers fall for it every time.
*cries in comment section* YALL UNDERSTAND WHAT PEEPAW LEO IS SAYING HERE RIGHT!?
HES SAVING THE WORLD BUSY BECAUSE CASEY IS HIS WHOLE WORLD. THAT IS HIS SON😖❤️🩹💙🙌🏼😭
This family has a chokehold on my heart and it ain’t letting go anytime soon.
Also Donnie is afraid of emotional contagion change my mind
Part 4!
I love the "parent sits at the kid's bedside all day" trope, but Leo has a whole bunch of people he has to worry about :т
Also, I know that their size compared to each other is constantly changing. Do I want to monitor this more closely? Nope
Part 1
✨📓Story time📓✨
Featuring @anobodyinabog
Just a little snippet based off a conversation with me and friend talking about our plans for Spring Break. I had asked for a list of her favorite snacks because ✨RoAdTrIp BaBy✨ and she had mentioned Goldfish.
I looked at her, and she looked at me, and I looked at her, and I could see the moment of realization in her horror filled eyes.
And I, ever true to my Jayus nature, without mercy, looked up with a grin and said without hesitation, “ Yo girl is your name Goldfish? Cuz you’re the snack that smiles back.” 😏😉👉🏼👉🏼
Needless to say the conversation ended shortly thereafter. She started to walk out 😆
This is 100% me as a babysitter you have no idea. Come on small fry let’s go kick some butt
Leo: I love that babies ball their hands up into fists all the time
Leo: Little buddy, you can’t even sit up yet, who are you gonna fight? I support it completely, but who are you going after? Who’s trying you?
YEEHAW YALL LILY LIVERED SON OF A BULLFROG. MY TIME HAS COME. WOOOOOOOOOO
*clears throat before belting out as loud as I can* THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE BIG AND BRIGHT….
Again I am finding more and more evidence that Donnie and I would be the best of friends because I would totally do this.
Actually I DO this. You should see me in the morning at work 😆🧡🤌🏼💜
i got a bit lazy at the end and i’m no animator but hey this was fun and i hope yall enjoy it too xD
@saspas-corner No U
You give off thunder vibes
*Liam Nelson Voice* I know who you are. I will find you, and I will fight you.
*hands on hips* There’s nothing subtle or epic about me, Broski. I’m literally the definition of loud and proud. That makes me lightning and aggressive sunshine. We’ve talked about this.
Y’all have no idea how accurate this is and it hurts 😆😭
waiting for my turn to speak in a conversation and trying not to interrupt literally feels like I'm trying to jump into a game of double dutch
First things first, Y E S *slams hand down on table excitedly* NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL WHOLESOME FAMILY ART🙌🏼🧡✨🤌🏼
Second @saspas-corner, @holydoncakes @anobodyinabog *bear poses* If you didn’t want to be assimilated into my found family, you should have ran when you had the chance 😏😈😎
I have no context for this
I will fight you both

*switches between crying and laughing like the ToTaLlY sane individual I am*
This is fine. I’m fine. He’s fine. They’re fine. EvErYtHiNg Is GoInG tO bE oK!
*my friends @anobodyinabog, @saspas-corner and @holydoncakes walk in and look at each in surprise*
“Is…is she gonna be ok?”
“She’s fine. Just a dramatic lil bleeding heart. Let her get it all out.”
“*amused chuckle* She’s like this what? Every two weeks? I’ll go get the weighted blanket and goldfish.”
*me still having an emotional break down in the back* “GUYS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! THEY HUGGED!”

*openly weeps*
Guys…they did it. They finally did it. They had the talk. They had the hug.
I’ve been waiting for so long 🫢😖🤧😭🙌🏼💙🧡✨
"You're not a bad person-- you're young. And you're doing your best"
read the latest chapter of T&E this morning... it's gotta be my fav future Leo fic
under the cut: a glitch with the background that I thought looked cool as well
Just… gimme a minute… y’all. These two need to have this conversation. These two have gone through so much and to see this drawn so beautifully AND with a written snippet just ugggggg my heart.
I need a hug yall, these feelings getting too intense to keep dealing with by myself 😆😅😭💔💙✨
The hologram of his loved one sizzled softly in silence till the blue light disappeared, leaving the stars twinkling sadly before them. Casey can only feel his throat closed up with a choking sob yet no sound comes from it but the gentle sniffles of grief. Grief, he almost laughed, grief is supposed to be something that happens once in a while yet for him it’s everyday, for him it’s Master Raph, for him it’s Master Donnie, for him it’s his loving mom, for him it’s Commander O’neil, for him it’s Master Michelangelo, for him…it’s Master Leonardo, and now everyone until he is the only sole evidence his world exists. He doesn’t want to get attached to this world, to the people who are still living, and breathing and so alive because inevitably- they will disappear, just like everyone who he loved in his life. “You know…” the young Leonardo spoke uncharacteristically, without charisma, without energy, without anything that made Leo Leo. “I don’t know what it’s like to lose everyone in one day.” he whispered, the turtle’s hand still holding onto Casey in a reassuring manner with his gaze still stuck on where his holographic future-self used to be “But I know what it’s like to grieve.” he chuckled tiredly, Casey could only lean close yet he still refuse to look at Leo “There was this line dad said when he finally opened up his trauma to us.” a silent pause took place for a moment, until he continued “There is a type of love that is only experienced through sadness, and a type of joy that is only experienced through grief.” In the cold wind and the gentle lullaby of twinkling lights, his eyes slightly widen. “Pain is the price that we pay for love, and the only way to not feel pain is to never feel love.” Casey finally looked at Leo, his sole reason on wanting to get rid of these fond feelings when he sees this worlds’ family, the feeling of where Raph will teach him how to wrestle, where Donnie will rant about science, where his mom will call him into crazy adventures, where Mikey will make him eat different types of food, where April will teach him about the outside human world, where Splinter will let him watch TV with him, or where Leo will make so many bad and cringey jokes. Where everything made Casey so happy. “But love is what makes life meaningful, so don’t stop loving Casey.” “Because we sure hell will never stop loving you.” Casey felt safe arms around him, hugging him in such a familiar way it made him finally burst. To cry out how unfair the universe is to him, how unfair that he has to grow up in a time with no rest, with no moment of clarity, with no moment to tell everyone he loves that he misses them, he misses them so much. Leo didn’t say anything anymore, yet his soft hums will tell Casey- ‘I’m here, we are here, we will not leave you anymore.’ And for a moment, and maybe tomorrow, that would be enough for him to keep on smiling, to keep on being genuinely happy, to keep holding on. ‘Anatawa Hitorijanai.’ He could hear Master Leonardo whisper to him. ‘Anatawa Hitorijanai.’ ———————————— (some lines here are from Cinema Therapy because those guys can make me cry like a lil bitch, so anyways, we need more angst fuel for my boy Casey cus my man needs to reach his angst potential like our turtle bois >:((( )
(I also apologize if there is typos, its been long since i ever type a long ass story!!)
Me wanting to workout for reasons like this like…
Seriously tho, this totally fits the vibe I get from Casey, and I want to be like this. “But who’s going to carry you?” W E A K 😖🙌🏼🤌🏼🧡✨
Of course “turtles are strong” and “can hold Casey like an orange”
Okay yep mhm
Who’s going to hold them?
———————
To be continued? Idk, maybe xD
How you simultaneously give off the vibes of a middle schooler and a middle aged woman i will never know. more power to you, honestly. have fun! /gen
You know to be honest, I really don’t know either. Everybody’s just confused. I was once described as having 54 year old grandpa energy paired with a 5 year old girl. 😶🫤 Take that as you will.
Also
Somebody was interested enough to ask me something?!?! I am so confused but flattered. Thank you Anon wherever you are in the world today, totally made my day. Thanks friend 😆🙌🏼🧡
He needs this. I think honestly we all do 🥺💙💔❤️🩹🙌🏼
I am not immune to Future!Leo angst.
LADIES AND GENTS : THEY MAY HATE THE PAST AND THEY MAY HATE THEMSELVES BUT THEY HATE BULLIES EVEN MORE!!! PLEASE GIVE A WARM AND DRAMATIC WELCOME TO PAAM!
like y’all you have no idea how much them all getting together to defend Casey just gives me life. Once a dad, always a sad 😆🙌🏼💙
I’m having too much fun with this concept lmao
I’m sorry @agzeret, didn’t mean to make you cry. Here’s a meme for this post instead 😅🧡👉🏼👈🏼
Leo screaming for his dad in ‘Flushed But Never Forgotten’ is treated as a humorous but Leo going to an adult for help when he looses his brothers is something he’s done before
In ‘Portal Jacked’ Leo goes to Senor Hueso as soon as he looses his brothers in his portal
And the reason I think Leo went to Senor Hueso was that Leo had portaled himself to Run of the Mill, making Senor Hueso the closest adult he knew.
I think it’s interesting that when Leo is left alone & believes his brothers are in danger, he’ll go to the closest adult he can find for help.
Most cartoons have characters try & save their friends/ family by themselves but Leo is just like ‘I’m 14 I’m getting a grown up!’
Turtle Power? Dude I totally thought you said Turtle Tower!
Here are the finished results of a 3 month on going art project with none other than my darling friend, @anobodyinabog. Our boys look good and it’s been a total shell of time making memories with you 😊🧡
HEY MA, THEY’RE CIRCLING MY VIDEO AGAIN 😆🙌🏼 Literally me at work everyday
THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN
*vibrating at a frequency to shatter glass* Never have I ever loved animatic more than I did after watching this PLEASE GIVE THIS SOME LOVE FOLKS BECAUSE ITS WORTH IT
Hey guys, I DID THE THING>:D
The new chapter of "Odd Man Out" by the @threestripeslider was awesome and as soon as I saw the training scene in there, I thought, hey this is a great opportunity to practice action scenes hehe
My happy bois 🥺💙💜
Also they’re probably spinning fast enough to launch each other as teenage boys do.
Question is, who’s going to be the one flying 😆?
I think Leo deserves to have a genuine smile. As a treat
Again, the healing hug I needed to see. Bless you 🙏🏼😖💙❤️
THeYrE bRoThErS aNd tHeY lOvE eAcH oThEr, Your Honor.
His bones may be broken, but his heart? So light
Can you tell ive been listening to this ost
Y’all I’m healing with this. Come vibe in this with me 😭🙌🏼💙💜
Baby’s first time clinging
I swear you could associate the 4 phases of this song (every time the melody switches) to each panel and youd get a pretty damn good picture of how im feeling
Light the World Prompt for day 7: Compliments
Howdy *waves* I am a verbal processor. A random starting line I know, but I promise it’ll be worth it in the end if you keep reading. As a verbal processor that means I need to discuss or talk things out enable to put organization to the unorganized chaos that is my mind. This unfortunately means that I am talking preeeeeettty much most of the time😅
However, one good thing about this is that I live by the saying “If you see something, say something.” That means that when I saw something SO impactful that the I immediately wanted to tell someone about it because it excited me or intrigued me. So when I compliment you, it means I saw something in you that I just got so excited to see that I just had to tell you, so you could get excited too!
So Friend, lemme tell you what I see:
I see you there Friend, tired and hurting from the struggles of your life. I see you, getting up every day and doing your best to do something. I see you reaching out to help friends and family members even when sometimes nobody takes the time to help you. I see you sitting by yourself with a lonely sigh. I see you, crying into your pillow alone at night. I see you sick and tired of not being heard or misunderstood. I see you putting your heart and soul into whatever the work it is you do, and while it may never get the attention it deserves, it’s still beautiful.
YOU are beautiful. Yes, I’m looking at you. I see YOU. You’ve got a beautiful soul friend, one that is uniquely yours. It’s brilliant, Darlin’. And in a world that keeps getting increasingly dark, we need YOUR light. Yes, YOURS! Because it’s simply a better place when you are HERE.
Don’t let ANYBODY tell you otherwise (feel free to dm me if you need me to fight someone) and that includes yourself. You ARE worth the time. You ARE worth the effort n the love. Simply because YOU. ARE. WORTH. IT.
In whatever way you say it, I love you friend. And just in case nobody told you today:
I’m grateful you’re here. I’ve never seen a smile quite like yours. *grins* Ah there it is! Look at how beautiful you are. Keep smiling like that, Beautiful. You deserve it and the world.
Don’t EVER forget how much good you AlReAdY do. Don’t EVER forget how loved you already are.😊🧡✨
Here’s my big boi with the biggest heart I know, to help send the message home. If you EVER need a reminder, please feel free to talk to me. You don’t ever have to go whatever it is alone, ok?🧡
