looking at the time: oh yeah, it's dissection analysis o'clock.

i've talked about how i think leo's view on what it means to be a leader is very misconstrued, but i didn't really go into specifics like i wanted. so here i am, doing just that.

firstly, i'm going to make this generalized enough so that it's not about any particular iteration, though i might put in details that aren't a universal part to leo's character.

i once said that "leo believes the leader is always the one to make the right choices" and by that i mean, the leader has to. he tries to think over his words carefully (there was a post for 2003 pointing out that leo stumbles on his words quite a bit and i love this detail) because he's trying to mimic his idea of a hero. not only is he the one meant to make the decisive calls, but in an imprudent, childish way, i think his ego has also convinced him that the title of leader makes his opinion more valuable djsaklg. he's kind of a funny, bossy older sibling like that.

he's full to the brim with anxiety and worst-case scenarios because he knows real life is dangerous and he is the one in-charge. rise fics have done a lovely job of showcasing the fact that leo struggles to really seem them as a team unless it's convenient for him, but i'd argue all leos (save for a few) are like this. people need to listen to him, because of course the leader knows best! leaders and heroes are synonymous, always saving the day... (...it's why rise leo doesn't think he should be leader-)

i have a little headcanon about his perfectionism that isn't completely relevant to this conversation, but i want to include it regardless. i think some of his perfectionism comes from a place of guilt and just general worries. he doesn't mind training extra or things like that, but i'm not too sure he likes it either. overdoing it can make him feel more reassured, and training better means he can make sure missions go smoother. leaders are the captains, and a captain always goes down with his ship.

anyways, if leadership to him is like being in-charge and having to be a shield, who would he be his ideal image of that to mirror? barring his cartoon heroes, it would be his father. leo has always tried to be like the person he admires most. i don't fully know why, but that makes me Sad. most kids think of their fathers as their heroes, and for all of the turtles, well. he really is one.

being the older child (in most iterations), leo unconsciously places himself on a similar pedestal as his father, copying what he does because he wants to be just like him.

.... for 2003 and 2012, yes. mirage? idw? less so. i just wrote a whole fic on the city at war arc (love me, love my dog) for the original comics that helped inspire this post. constantly leo mentions "growing up" in that arc, following it up by thinking they shouldn't stick within everything their father has taught him. he's leaving his father's shadow - that's what it means to grow up to him.

his brothers will always come before his father, no matter how much he admires him. in 2012, i truly do think leo would try too hard to become a father to his brothers. not only for their sakes, but because he's always been there, copying his father. he's trying to make his father stay by becoming more like him. he won't have to search for him in the walls of their home if he feels like he's right beside him.

^ i love this train of thought for mirage as well because in city at war he's gradually realizing that he doesn't know what he would do without splinter to back up his choices. he's having to think for himself and it's making him think that maybe he isn't as much like his father as he had always tried to be.

no matter the iteration, leo growing up is always becoming his own version of a leader (staring so badly at idw leo). it's a bittersweet thing, but it was a thought that occurred to me after leo returned from training with the ancient one in 2003. splinter already taught him everything, so why wasn't it enough? when will he teach him how to properly protect everyone like he wants to.

splinter is a VERY flawed character in every single iteration, and i think one of the most innocently child-like characteristics of leo is the way he idolizes him.

THATS HIS PAPA (bawling)

there's definitely more i could add to this, but i like leaving some parts unexplored so that people are free to put in their own thoughts :)

“No, because you don’t get to go come to my house, my space, and accuse me of things your dumb daughter did,” you scoffed at Sienna’s mom as you sat in front of her.

“Do not call my daughter dumb,” Sienna’s mom sternly said. She glared at you like she has been doing for the past 10 minutes going back and forth arguing with you. You were amused and not phased at all which pissed her off even more. “This is absurd. For Jungkook to move on and move in—”

“Yeah and how is that your business?” You gave her a look of confusion, clearly not believing the way she was acting. “And from what I remember, your daughter is getting married to a man she started dating two months ago?”

“My daughter fell in love.”

“Yeah and she cheated, too.” You and the others turned to look at Jungkook who was standing by the doorway. He had his helmet under his arm while he held his keys in the other. He closed the door behind him with his foot. “Now why the hell are you here, Ms. Baek?”

“Because Jungkook, how could—”

“Mom—” Sienna stood up from beside her.

“Sit the fuck down,” Jungkook scoffed. Sienna looked at him in shock, not believing he would talk to her like that. He never did. He looked away from her and looked at you. “You okay?”

You nodded and stood up to head to him. He grabbed you around the waist and went to glare back at the three people sitting down.

“So she’s the bitch you cheated—”

“When the fuck did I say you could talk, huh?” Jungkook spat out. He gave Sienna’s mom a look that sent a shiver down your spine. “Your daughter isn’t a saint. Because while she was with me, she was cheating on me with Jongseok. Then,” Jungkook sarcastically chuckled, “she left me. For him. Did Jongseok tell you that she,” he gestured to you, “is his ex-girlfriend he left to be with your daughter?”

“Nonsense.”

“There’s no point in getting through your thick ass head, is there?” Jungkook snorted. “Your daughter and her new fiancé are pieces of shit. Worthless. They waste oxygen. Your daughter can tell you lies, but I know what I am and I know what I’m not. It’s not my fault you didn’t raise your daughter right because look at her.”

“That’s enough, man,” Jongseok scoffed out, standing in front of Jungkook. Jungkook towered over the man due to the added height his boots gave. “You don’t get to disrespect them both.”

“Shut the hell up,” Jungkook said. “You’re a parasite. A lint. A lazy piece of shit who can’t help his fiancé pay off for their home. Be better. You’re making us men look like complete trash.”

Jongseok pushed Jungkook, anger seeping in his eyes.

“Don’t say that.”

Jungkook chuckled with amusement as you watched on with a frown. Sienna and her mom stood up, ready to leave if anything happened.

“Why not? It’s the truth,” Jungkook said, getting closer to the man. You couldn’t help but eye his physique compared to Jongseok’s. Was it bad to compare at the moment? Yes. But you didn’t care. “You’re nothing, man. You lost the perfect girl for a girl who will definitely cheat on you, too. But, go ahead. Cheaters are worthless.”

Jongseok went to punch Jungkook, but Jungkook immediately dodged it with a small laugh before his face went to an unamused one. He punched Jongseok who immediately clutched his nose in pain, blood gushing out.

“Fuck!” Jongseok exclaimed. “Asshole!”

“Jungkook, what the hell?” Sienna gasped, heading to Jongseok.

Jungkook rolled his eyes, going back to your side.

“Get the hell out of our house,” he sternly said, glaring at the three. “Now or so help me God.”

The three didn’t even hesitate to leave, their feet pattering on the floor as they opened your front door and walked out. You stood by the door, holding onto it, as you waved with such feigned kindness.

“Bye, thank you for coming,” you sweetly said.

As you closed the door, you sighed, and turned to look at Jungkook, whose chest heaved up and down as if he's ran a marathon. He’s overwhelmed with emotions, with emotions that make him realize how much he was holding onto a relationship where he was immensely betrayed. After all the love he poured into it.

You noticed his actions and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Jungkook?” You stood in front of him, looking up at him. His eyes were glazed with unshed tears, his lips parted a little. “Oh, babe, come here…”

Your hands ran themselves over his shoulder to hug him around his neck, bringing him closer.

He stayed still for a little before he hugged you back, his arms wrapping themselves around your waist rather tightly. He brought you closer as he buried his face on the nape of your neck, his body slightly trembling.

“I don’t fucking deserve this. After I gave her my heart?” He whispered almost angrily. “After I opened up to her and talked about wanting to marry her? I became someone I hated when I was with her. I dropped friends for her. I did everything for her and I was left? I didn’t deserve this, Y/n. At all.”

“No, no, you did enough. You loved with your entire being and that should tell a lot as to what type of person you are. You did everything and you should be proud of yourself okay?”

“I’m thankful for you, and I’m sorry for them bothering you.” He paused. “And I'm sorry for punching Jongseok. I did it for both of us.” You. “He needed that.”

You softly chuckled, still holding onto him. “Thank you,” you whispered. “Thank you for everything. You truly have become such an important person in my life and I’m happy I gained you.”

“Thank you for everything, princess.”
