One Thing I've Learnt About Designing - Like Character Design For Example - Is To Trust The Process,

NO BC 12 LEO WAS LEGIT EXPERIENCING PSYCHOSIS.

WE CANONICALLY SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR THE TURTLES TO TALK TO SPIRITS / THE SPIRIT OF THEIR FATHER. ESP IN VISION QUEST AND AT THE END OF THE DEMODRAGON ARC.

SPLINTER'S ALL GLOWY AND STUFF AND GHOSTS IN GENERAL IN THE SHOW DONT LOOK LIKE SOLID BEINGS.

LEO WAS 100% THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD SEE SPLINTER WHEN HE TALKED TO HIM AFTER HE DIED.

BESIDES, SPLINTER TALKED TO ALL HIS SONS BOTH TIMES HE WAS IN SPIRIT FORM. THE FACT DONNIE COULDN'T SEE HIM JUST CEMENTS THE FACT THAT SPLINTER NEVER REALLY WAS THERE.

I'M JUST- I NEED A MOMENT-

YOUR RIGHT!!!

Fuck, so that is why when I was younger I was (am) a Leo stan. Lol that explains a lot haha

Rewatching tmnt 2012 has been so wild because I remember when I was a kid, Donnie was my favorite so I thought I’d just revert back to that right?? But obviously my life changed drastically in 10 years, and I’m watching it now like “wow why does Leo appeal to me so much? Why is this obviously anxious eldest child with crushing responsibilities and niche interests that nobody else cares about so relatable??” Like OH WAIT THAT’S ME LMAO

he is a little, jahah i love him

he’s only had his turtles for like a week but if anything happens to them he will kill everyone in this room and then himself

Here is one, the name of the girl is Chloe and this fanfic is one of my favorites and the most sweet.

I like the headcanon that 2012! Leonardo is good with children being that he is the older brother of the turtles and also that canonically he is sweet with Mickey (consoling him, letting him hug him, take care of him or laughing at his jokes).

The dudes having teatime!!

(Art is not mine- it’s from an official comic)

WHAAAAAAAAT?!- I'M SO SAD NOW ಥ_ಥ.

God, I'm being serious, I'm genuinely sad that he died, I can only think of Leonardo's reaction when he finds out that Aoi is dead and he has to let him go to the afterlife. How painful.

Just started reading two souls. How this whole imaginary friend thing tie into the lore of tmnt 2012? Is it just when he's meditating or asleep or is it just completely separate from that and he just exists as seen in the fic and nowhere else?

Interlude I has confirmed a major thing in the lore.

Aoi is dead.

He died.

But instead of going to the afterlife, he got sent to the Rise verse for no apparent reason.

EDIT: For those who dont know when he died, he died in the start of the mutant apocalypse episode of TMNT 2012's season 5.

In this timeline, they stopped it

But instead of the mutagen double mutating him.

It killed him.

trauma stance

This is enough doodles for an art dump right

I understand the feeling.

That's me when I want to advance a task and end up not doing it.

We are both liars.

"I'm gonna start writing chapter nine" I say and then not do it.

You know, like a liar
