One of the funniest parts about the whole “Leo not giving Draxum any grace” idea is that Draxum is one of the ONLY notable older men in the show that Leo isn’t willing to give a proper second chance to OR really hear out in the first place.

No seriously it’s genuinely a Thing.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #the men I’m thinking of specifically are as follows #marcus moncrief? very quickly just went along with anything he said #then repeating this AGAIN later #(Leo also refers to him as a father figure before ever actually meeting him lol)#piel? Leo happily greets and immediately offers his (and Hueso’s) help to the ex pirate #this is largely due to Leo’s own brother problems but it’s still a part of this trend #hypno? Leo literally stops fighting him to watch his magic act lol plus he helps Warren save him #if we count other older men then the list grows to continue the following #Tim Dunkman? Leo notably does his best to do good in Tim’s eyes #apologizing earnestly to Tim even when it’s not his fault even #and this is another older man Leo refers to as a surrogate father #Leo also quickly falls for the evil hair Yokai Masseur’s lies despite the bad vibes he got #Leo also was the main one who went easy on Bullhop #and let’s not forget Señor Hueso and Leo’s strong attachment to him despite Hueso’s consistent insults and annoyance #like even WARREN gets Leo’s sympathy and assistance when they all helped him get Hypno back #you can even argue that Leo WAS willing to hear Draxum out when they first met #and Leo assumed Draxum was surrendering before the whole ‘BARON DRAXUM DOES NOT SURRENDER’ thing #hell he’s not even antagonistic really to Draxum he just doesn’t really like him #he’ll listen to his advice if necessary #anyway this being a fairly consistent character trait of Leo’s is funny to me #it’s always specifically older men too - Big Mama does NOT get anything but immediate suspicion #not all of them but most of the ones Leo has specific interactions with are like this #I’m just saying!!! Splinter I love you dearly but your boys have Issues™️#anyway each of the boys has something like this going on #Leo’s are just weirdly consistent and happen a lot for a two season show
