Tmnt 2012 Leo - Blog Posts

The scenes is really great, the dialogue, the sound effects and the camera movements were incredible, I would have loved it if they used the phrase from Sun Tzu in his book The Art of War "It seems that you are weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak". Being that in Avatar the legend of Aang Uncle Iroh puts it into practice.

But yeah, I see here a lot of little and older brother energy

Probably one of the most little brother moments I’ve ever seen

Also some random screen shots:

What Are Your Unpopular TMNT Opinions?

Please respect other opinions. Thank you

I don’t love TMNT 2003.

Before watching this version, many fans said 2003 series was the best version. I didn’t have a lot of TMNT content to watch so I tried it(with some high expectations). I really liked it and had a fun time watching it, but I wouldn’t say it’s the best version- there isn’t a best version imo. I had some issues with it such as some intriguing moments from the show that wasn’t further explored like Leo’s first loss, and traumatic injuries from the Shredder and Donnie’s reaction of the alternative universe in Same As It Never Was. They were good but I needed more. Season 6 and 7 were not great and was tough to go through because of the sudden tone and art style change.

Though, it’s my second favorite version so far.

I like 2012 April.

I already made a post about this so I will shorten my explanation.

I have many reasons, but I’m going to say only two or three reasons since I don’t wanna bore you guys to death.

I don’t hate April because she is a victim of bad writing. TMNT 2012 has overall great writing, but there were some mistakes. Apritello is a big example.

When I ignore the bad moments, April is a really good character. Is she my favorite? No, but she had great potential.

Rise has one of the best family dynamics.

When I watch the show, I can tell that the Turtles love each other no matter what, which is a big thing in the fandom. I enjoyed their brotherly relationships since their was rarely an physical confrontation between them compared to how much 2012 Raph hits the other brothers. I don’t like hitting people, unless I need to protect myself, so I always felt a bit uncomfortable with all the hitting in TMNT 2012. I’m not saying TMNT 2012 had bad brother relationships, it’s my favorite because the raw moments the turtles had always warmed my heart. If it happened too often, the moments would have less of an impact.

I think TMNT 2003 went a bit downhill after season 4.

I feel like the storylines after season 4 were not as good. They focused mostly on mystical things, which is fine, but having so many versions of the Shredder was annoying for me. I know it might sound rude, but I think the show should have ended after season 4.

The 2003 Same As It Never Was storyline was not executed as greatly as it could be.

I feel so bad for critiquing the 2003 version since it looks like I don’t like the series. That’s not true, I really like the series and I applaud it for doing storylines like SAINW and Leo’s PTSD.

The reason why I don’t feel like SAINW didn’t live up to its full potential is because of the length of episodes it could have taken and how it didn’t seem to bother Donatello afterwards.

If SAINW was not added in the Ultimate Draco storyline, I think more episodes like an extra one would have been a better idea. The episode felt pretty rushed and I really wanted to learn more about the future like what happened to Casey, why Hun and Stockman betrayed Shredder, and the circumstances right before Future Donnie disappeared.

Leo’s storyline collided with Donnie’s potential character growth, which makes me upset. I adore Leo’s growth, but the other brothers had so much potential. Maybe some hints of Donnie’s fear of the future or the brothers being separated would have made up for it, but it didn’t happen. All the future Turtles’ deaths didn’t seem to affect Donnie like I thought it would.

2012 Fugitoid should have passed away.

I feel so bad for saying this, but for the better of the story, Fugitoid coming back to life was not a great choice. I love Honeycutt, but his sacrifice would have had a lot of impact on the reality of heroes dying. 2003 TMNT did this really well. Some good people died and it symbolized how dangerous and important it is to fight for what is right.

TMNT 2003 had too many characters, which ruined some development for more important ones.

I feel pretty bad for criticizing TMNT 2003 so much, but I still really like it. Every cartoon has its flaws and I’ve noticed more on TMNT 2003 since I’ve been binging it.

Anyway, the show has too many arcs and characters. Too much for any to gain development. Like the Rat King. I would’ve loved to see him more since he was so interesting. And the Monster from season 4. I was so upset when we didn’t get back to him. He deserved a happy ending, and his story would have been great development for Bishop, good or bad.

2012 Karai’s redemption arc was not handled that great.

To be honest, her arc was always a bit shaky to me. What surprised me most was how fast Karai’s mind was changed. All her life the Shredder was her father, but when almost once Splinter revealed the truth, she switched. I don’t think that would’ve happened so soon since, usually, kids that handle trauma like that kind of try to rationalize or try to make sense of it all. It would have been better if Karai was having this mental battle as she was working with the Shredder. She would be neutral though because she doesn’t want to hurt the Turtles and Splinter if what they said was true.

2012 Karai is overrated.

Don’t get me wrong, 2012 Karai is my favorite version, but she is not as developed as some people say.

Her arcs with finding the truth about everything and “curing” her of the mutation were not handled well, especially the latter. It took the last halves of season 2 and 3 to save her. Was I only one annoyed that the group looked for so long, only for the retro mutagen to not work? 😑

She’s on my list of wasted great characters along with April and Casey.

In the 2012 series, female characters are not as well written as male characters.

This is one of my complaints with the 2012 series. Most of the female characters were either reduced to love interests or severely sidelined. April and Karai are the biggest victims with this.

April had great potential to be a great character, but the love triangle ruined it. If they solved this plot line already, April’s character wouldn’t have suffered as much. Can’t determine if fans would like her more, but that’s my opinion.

With Karai, she was a love interest at first, but then this Splinter’s daughter plot line happened. Tbh, I think this decision was last minute because I hope to god the creators were not promoting brother/sister romantic relationships of any kind. Anyway, that story was going along until that wild goose chase trying to cure her from the mutation(which didn’t work). After that craziness, she was just sidelined and there was barely any Splinter/Karai moments(one of my biggest disappointments with the show). It would have been amazing to see her journey as the new Shredder, but I don’t blame the creators for that because they had a limited amount of episodes.

2012 April is not op.

Oof.. I’m gonna get so many disagrees on this. 😂

The reason I’m saying this is because of the and my definition of overpowered. Overpower: defeat with superior strength.

While rewatching the show, I looked closely through April’s fights, especially with her powers. Usually, overpowered people defeat supposedly stronger opponents without explanation.

April has rarely beaten someone stronger than her except once with TigerClaw, but with the Dragon’s Tail kick and a sneak attack, not her powers. She used her powers with the Shredder, Shini, Kavaxas, and many more enemies. She lost every time. The only time April won with her powers was against that evil Aeon and it was severely weak.

I would say April is not very close to the fighting level with the Turtles, especially with Raph and Leo. If they went full force on her, she would lose, even with her abilities.

2012 Leo has better characterization than 2003 Leo.

I really like 2003 Leo but he can be pretty bland. He only ever focused on training and meditation. He was also too perfect in some areas. However, S4 made him better in those areas.

With 2012 Leo, I like that he has more interests than training and has a reason why he wants to be the leader. He also messes up and doesn’t get the full swing of being the leader until half way through S2. For me, I think realistic character progression is very important for a show.

I like 2018 April’s design.

I admit, I was shocked when I learned that April’s race was changed, but I have no problems with it. There’s more diversity.

The only thing I don’t like about her design is her hairstyle. I don’t like the pigtails. Much preferred finale look with the high ponytail.

Have You Ever Had Cartoon Crushes?

I think maybe most people had cartoon crushes as a kid or something. I’m one of them.

Here are a list of characters I had childhood crushes on:

1. Starfire(Teen Titans 2003)

2. Raven(Teen Titans 2003)

3. Max Goof(Goofy Movies)

4. Danny Fenton(Danny Phantom)

5. Katara(ATLA)

6. Leonardo(TMNT 2012)

7. Li Shang (Mulan)

8. Trunks (Dragon Ball)

9. Finn (Adventure Time)

10. Flora (Winx Club)

There might be more but these are the ones I remember from the top of my head.

My Version of the Hamato Family

Hi everyone! Thank you for reading and liking part one. It made my day!

So, this is where I shine in writing. I love creating characters and their backstory; it’s so fun. I think it is more important to focus on characters than the plot since a character can create the storyline- well at least for me.

I’m excited to share! Hope you enjoy!

Comment your thoughts! It would be cool to read them! 😁

……………………..

 Leonardo:

We’re starting with the usual leader-in-blue!

Although I adore Leo, his “perfect” personality can get a little boring. His versions usually have flaws, though they are the kind that makes you sympathize with him rather than feeling indifferent like with Raph’s anger issues.

Season 1 Leo would be a toned-down Rise Leo. He can be cocky when he succeeds over his brothers and would jokingly comment how he is Splinter’s favorite. However, it doesn’t come without hard work. Leo trains the most out of his brothers and spends most of his time studying fighting techniques. He is not naturally talented in ninjitsu like the past incarnations. Also, Leo’s motivations for training very hard and wanting to be leader is more for himself than anything.

Compared to his brothers, Leo was relatively average. Donnie was extremely smart, Mikey had his kind and joyful soul, and Raph was naturally a great fighter. Leo felt left out and decided that training to be a hero would be his way of standing out. He also believed that being special like his brothers was the only way to get Splinter’s attention; and it kind of worked. With all the progress Leo made, Splinter praised him, and they had a way to connect.

Around the beginning of S1(maybe ep. 5), Leo became the leader though how was different. Instead of Splinter deciding, the brothers did; the explanation was the turtles were a team and should make a consensus as one. This news made Leo ecstatic; he was finally living his dreams. Even so, he didn’t realize the baggage and responsibility a leader had to shoulder. Over the course of the story Leo grows as a great leader and fighter.

The Karai/Leo subplot will follow the 2003 version. He is convinced that Karai is a good person and tries to have her switch sides. There will be romantic feelings but its not the main motivation for both of their actions. I can’t say too much since this plot revolves around Karai more.

   Donatello:

Donnie is a blend of 2003/12 versions. He is intelligent with an extremely high IQ and was a gifted child. However, his intelligence came with a cost; making connections with his brothers and father was really tough for him because of their different interests. This left him withdrawing from everyone and focusing on his inventions. His social skills evolve once the turtles visit the city and meet April. The increasing danger of the Kraang further builds his relationships since communication is important in teamwork, and Donnie’s talent in inventing grew more in the spotlight.

Because of her fascination with Donnie’s smarts and inventions, April and Donnie become good friends as the story continues. Donnie also gets close with April’s best friend, Irma since they are science lovers. At first, Casey irritates him as they have clearly different personality; Casey’s impulsive and extroverted attitude conflicting with Donnie’s plan-based mindset.

Donnie’s love for his family is showcased after witnessing a terrifying, apocalyptic future where his family suffers. Paranoia sets in. His work to calculate the cause of this terrible, and its solution leads Donnie to rarely take care of his needs. He has to learn to trust in others instead of doing things alone.

 Raphael:

Unlike Leo, Raph is instantly gifted in fighting. He has more physical strength than his brothers and would constantly beat them in practice. Since childhood, Raph was Splinter’s “favorite” in the dojo and that definitely got into the red-banded turtle’s head. He would brag to his brothers and jokingly poke fun at their techniques. It wouldn’t affect anyone. Except for Leo.

Raphael’s ego started taking hits once Leo caught up to him and beating him in practice once in a while. It turned into anger after noticing Master Splinter praising Leo more. The tension soured their brotherhood. Unlike most versions, Raph’s anger is fueled by insecurity. He believes that fighting is the only thing he is good at and will get territorial if his spotlight is threatened.

Throughout the story, he learns to move on from his demons and realize his worth.

Family is important to Raph. He can be hard on his brothers yet will do anything to keep them safe, especially Mikey- his positivity must be protected. Casey and Raph become best friends for their similarities and love for fighting- they are impulsive bros.

 Michelangelo:

Mikey’s role is to be the positive and glue of the team. He loves to make people happy and would always do something goofy or kind to do that. His family have nothing bad to say about their youngest member and are very protective of him. The youngest brother doesn’t take ninjitsu as seriously as skateboarding, dancing, or just general fun. Though, he will be serious when the situation calls for it, such as the fate of his family and the world.

Although being an open ear to anyone, Mikey is not open to expressing his negative emotions due to his fear of damaging the family dynamic. It is noticeable when he is upset because he jokes more often and not focus. A lesson he must learn is to accept the good and the bad. Mikey can be reckless, mostly when his brothers rarely let him participate in missions. He wants to prove to his family that he is strong enough to protect himself and others. Reading people is his best skill and takes great pride in it, usually taking on the role of a therapist.

 Splinter/Hamato Yoshi:

I really wanted to take Splinter’s role in the Shredder’s descent to evil in the grayer area. He is usually the victim/innocent party of the story, which can get boring after a while.

Hamato Yoshi was born as the heir to Hamato Clan and childhood best friend of Oroku Saki. The Hamato and Foot clan were allies for centuries and would usually fight by each other’s side. Matters changed when the Foot’s beliefs grew more sinister. This left the Hamato Clan to eradicate their former ally. Splinter saved Saki before he could be killed, though, it came with consequences. Oroku Saki vowed to exact revenge for his fallen home. Growing up, Splinter became one of the strongest martial artists in Japan and married a woman named Tang Shen, later becoming a father to a girl. His world ended once he saw his clan destroyed and his family killed by the renewed Foot Clan.

Yoshi decided to move to New York and forget his old life. Years later, the martial artist noticed strange people caging defenseless animals. He would fight them long enough to protect four humanoid turtles, deciding to keep them after a moment of compassion. Splinter would continuously fight the strange men until a strange liquid turned him into a rat. This turning point banished Splinter and the turtles to the sewers for protection.

Splinter equally loves his sons. He would always make sure to give them equal amounts of love to avoid lasting issues. Though, he has made some mistakes. Emotions were rarely discussed because of Splinter’s unintentionally withdrawn attitude. The rat master wouldn’t instantly notice problems between his sons, and usually didn’t know how to resolve them. No matter what, Splinter is proud of his children and would do anything to keep them safe; sometimes not realizing that it could hurt them.

Hamato Yoshi’s guilt and trauma over the terrible moments in his life would be the main focus of his development.

Leonardo Headcanon

Mine: One of Leo’s greatest wishes is to be a father.

I had a hard time picking 2003 or 2012 Leo for this headcanon, but a friend helped me decide.

So, what made me pick 2012 Leo over the 2003 version was just the vibes or hints the show gave that Leo had this fatherly nature. Plus, did you see him holding baby Karai and having tea time with that little girl? That is true dad power.

2003 Leo was also an option since I read a lot of fics that added the wish to be a father to his character. It actually works well with him.

What do you guys think? 😊❤️TMNT

2012 Donatello Headcanon

Leo almost dying twice and Splinter’s death effected Donnie more than the others.

*MENTIONS OF BLOOD & DEATH*

This is one of my favorite headcanons I wrote since I really delve into Donnie’s character even if it is not canon.

I came to the conclusion based on something Donnie said in season 5 in the Monster arc. While in a fight, Donnie mentioned that he hated blood. Someone had a headcanon that Splinter’s death was the reason. After getting stabbed and dropped from a building, there would be a lot of blood, but it was censored.

With Leo, Donnie felt like it was his fault his brother almost died the first time because Leo separated from the group after their argument.

I don’t know if I overanalyzed Donnie’s reaction to Leo’s second near death experience. I know the brothers were all there, but Donnie was sort of the medic and was trying to revive Leo. A lot of things must have been going through his head. Like if he does the wrong or no action, Leo will die and it will be his fault. Everyone would be devastated, but Donnie would make it tougher to handle since he will always wonder, “I healed him once, why couldn’t I do it again?” It would eat away at him of what might have been.

Leo survived, but those questions will never stop running through Donnie’s mind.

Splinter’s death had an affect on him because as I mentioned before, Donnie is the medic of the family. Seeing that he couldn’t do anything to save his father, only hug him along with his brothers. For the first few months, Donnie will try to find ways to prevent someone from dying, so he could save any of his loved ones.

Well, that’s it. Can’t believe I wrote so much.

What do you guys think? 😊❤️

Here is the fifth chapter. Oopsie daisy! Looks like the muses had their say, and it turns out that the evil 2012 iteration of Leonardo is basically just the Rise version:

Hello everyone!

I am so excited to share my first work in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom with you! While I am a huge fan of the 2003 iteration, I have chosen to set this story in the 2012 iteration, as it fits best with the storyline I have envisioned. But do not worry—if you enjoy this, I will be posting a story set in the 2003 universe later on, so stay tuned!

This story is a loose adaptation of the City Fall arc from the IDW comics, tailored to fit the 2012 cartoon's setting. Here is the link and summary:

Title: Little Dark Age

Summary: After a devastating defeat by the Shredder during the Kraang invasion, Leonardo is captured and subjected to the dark machinations of the witch Kitsune. Bewitched and scarred, Leonardo is made to believe that the Hamato Clan is the architect of his suffering, convinced they are responsible for years of psychological and physical abuse. When Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo return to New York, they are horrified to find their presumed-dead brother now a vengeful and far more powerful adversary as the chunin of the Foot Clan.

i think one of my favorite details that i've noticed in rewatching 2012 again is that

Donnie and Leo, in writing, are very similar people who suffer very similar problems, but just different enough that they can't get their heads together on any given problem

Fungus Humungous, Metalhead Rewired, Mutagen man Unleashed, and The Fourfold Trap are good examples of them sharing a lot of behaviorisms and like. how they conflict because of that

They're both obsessive to the point of dysfunction, expect too highly of themselves, untrusting of anything that they perceive as a personal threat to their person (like with Leo and Metalhead, and Donnie and Casey), and worry a lot about doing the right thing

Especially Fungus Humungous, where we see their greatest fears are very similar in conception. At their core, they fear hurting people they care about and that they're horrible people for doing so and being abandoned by said people.

Donnie's fear is shrouded in self esteem issues and conveyed through his relationship with April, and Leo's fear is conveyed through his responsibility as the leader and eldest brother.

Not to mention they were both tasked with being a mentor to someone and had to carry the weight of being responsible for them, and. . . whatever was happening between Donnie and Don Vizioso and Leo and Shredder.

hc; I always believed that Donnie held a lot of guilt after Leo was hurt so badly he slipped into a coma. Berating himself constantly that if he had simply listened Leo would be okay, not even able to go back into the bathroom because of the overwhelming guilt. 

  Which is also why he had so much pent up aggression that was taken out on Casey, also because Casey aggravates him but he doesn’t normally ‘brawl’ with Casey and so that’s why. 

  After Leo wakes up, he constantly worries about his well being and not wanting to have push too hard. Even making him medicine to try and help him heal faster (we all saw how that turned out) and even greatly distressed when Leo has to face the Creep alone. 

  It’s also why he doesn’t argue as heavily with him, save for with Don Vizioso because of the danger his own life was put in. I feel that is also a way to try and prevent Leo from doing something alone again as well as get vengeance on the man that nearly killed him.

TL:DR; Donnie feels guilt and becomes a bit more protective over Leo’s well being.

I've seen quite a good amount of people with transfem 12 Leo headcannons BUT how is it that have I not seen at least ONE person with the headcannon that she'd change her name to Miwa (specifically in reference to after Splinter dies, maybe as another way to honor his memory)

Happy April fools!

Oh wait

HEHEHEHEGEHHEHEHEHEHEGEG🩷💘💝💖💝💘💝💞💖🩷💘💞💘💞

Some doodles I made of @teks-emporium 's Adventure Time + 2012 crossover (Which specifically revolves around the Elemental Miniseries-) ! 😌✨

FUFK YEAH IT'S NEW AU TIME

Adventure Time slaps and its Elements miniseries goes hard so I did THIS

hi. small 2012 sketch dump be upon you

A small comic revolving around the concept of Casey being toxic in his own way- 🖤💜

I don't know what unearthly force compelled me to do this comic out of nowhere, but I did- LMAO || I wish I could've set this situation up better (Like showing Donnie behaving in similar ways he did with April toward Casey instead-) and I was going to do one more panel to concluded this better (Where the Brothers + April don't find either of them at Casey's apartment and it turns out the left together in the Shellraiser or something like that-) but I'm super tired,, 😔👍

I really wanted Casey's actions (His lack of response to his texts / missed calls, the way he hovers by the door just listening, and lastly his failed attempt at hiding his smile at the end-) to reflect (what I feel would be) his toxicity in this relationship dynamic with Donnie- How he craves the attention, at the expense of Donnie's well being and the worry of his friends. How addicting it would be for him to be the center of someone's universe and knowing it - Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he would do whatever he needed to do to ensure Donnie's attention stayed on him, you know? 👀✨

Just something I like to think about sometimes ! (This also balances things out in my opinion, since I dislike the concept of Donnie being "the problem" alone- You know?) || Also I deliberately tried to make Donnie's dialogue in this comic as creepy (Or just uncomfortable / awkward-) as possible, especially in the last panel- 👍✨

T-pods.

Thank you to everyone who joined me for the Whiteboard Fox session ! It was super fun and I loved seeing all of your guys drawings in real time ! 🥺🫶✨

These were my doodles ! I'll include the other in reblogs !

Some 2012 Raphril watching True Crime together ! Then I drew some Stalker 2012 Donnie w/ Casey and finally some toxic 2012 Casey w/ Donnie (Since I don't think all of the toxic behavior should fall on Donnie-) ! Then I tried to draw a bit of my 2012 Portal AU (As you can see, I didn't get very far- Lmao) ! After that, I did some Adventure Time AU Raphril ! ✨

I know it's hard, but this poor boy should smile more :,)

And fanfics don't help him, xD

i really like in fiction when they're like oh no!!! the bad guys are about to win!!! and Character Who Keeps Trying To Sacrifice Themself For The Greater Good is like. gentlemen i have an idea

I HAVE THINGS TO DO!

I CANNOT BE CAUGHT UP ON HOW SAD DONNIE LOOKS WHILE BEING SCOLDED BY LEO-

HOW DEFEAT HE ALWAYS SEEMS-

How he’s still trying- “I can fix it!”

-Also are we going to talk about how the situation that he so desperately is trying to fix for Leo is one that Leo caused?

One that Leo made him do against his better judgement?

One that he only gave into because he wanted Leo to like and appreciate what Metalhead could bring to the team and because Metalhead wasn’t providing- that means Donnie is failing?

And Leo over here is completely missing all of this and his only concern is that fact that Metalhead’s malfunctioning is a danger to Donnie. (And he has proven to be an unpredictable variable on missions which endangers not only Donnie but the whole team.)

“Sorry Donnie.” (He is not, in fact, truly sorry for ‘protecting him’.)

Gosh their relationship is so underrated I can’t stand it

I honestly don't even remember where I found this image- LMAO

This is the same purple turtle who tries to murder a man in this episode btw

No, no, you need to give everyone the full picture:

Even better the full sequence:

(I love the way both their faces transition)

I can't even- Leo being like SO TICKED OFF and then giving Donnie that look after he catches him??? Happy silly little "hey bro I just saved you <3" As Donnie's just like "oh, thanks man"

I dunno how to describe it but it makes me feel all soft and mushy inside sfjsdkfjkdfsjkfhkssd THE BROTHERS EVER

Fuckers be posin like they're in an album cover

More Tokyo Ghoul AU stuff hegeggege,,,
