#2012 TMNT Raph

[imagionationstation]

Weeeeeell, it was meant to be fluff but then I started looking at Leo’s face and my entire brain glitched and now here we are

If it helps, I was dogpiled under the angst before I shared with y’all

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS

When Donnie touches the ground, he flinches.

His entire body tries to curl inward at the pain and he gives a tiny, barely audible gasp. Leo’s hand shoots up immediately.

He seems to hesitate, moving slowly and oh-so gently resting it on Donnie. And Donnie’s entire body relaxes.

His shoulders stiffen as his body acknowledges sudden contact against his chest, probably because that too is causing some pain.

AND YET: His mouth falls shut. The pain on his face smooths out. His head falls forward, his shoulders rise, all angling towards Leo.

And Leo’s eyes are what tells the entire story. They (expectantly) never leave him at any point and there’s not much expression to be noted outside of a mixture of sad/guilt/worried.

Then he lays his hand on Donnie.

And his little brother leans into it. He relaxes at the touch.

AND LEO’S ENTIRE FACE FALLS.

Out of everything happening right now, THAT’S what makes him look like he’s hurting. THAT’S what stops the leader from worrying and introduces the big brother who’s beyond disappointed in himself.

That tiny bit of subconscious comfort that Donnie reveals while leaning into the touch of the person who helped hurt him.

THAT is going to be what haunts him from this moment on.

*skidaddles into your ask box, leaves this in here and runs away giggling* you're welcome teehee >:3

I finally did this! Never using the evil art style again it looks so goofy

[lieutenantbiscute]

*taps mic*

Do you guys think Mona and Raph get married Pirates of the Caribbean style??

Like in the middle of a life threatening fight???

Like—

Mona: I’ve made my choice. What’s yours?

Raph: DONNIE!!!

Donnie: ?!

Raph: MARRY US!!

It feels very in tune for how I see it happening. Don’t get me wrong I want them to have a chill and happy wedding, but getting married in the heat of the moment is also very Them ™

I Don’t Care What You Headcanon.

But I care A Little Bit about Canon.

And the Canon is…

(Images from the series prequel 2012 official comic: TALES FROM THE TURTLE LAIR - Issue #1) Screenshoted from YouTube Link.

Again: DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU HEADCANON!

Live your freedom! Headcanon anyone as the older/younger bro!

I’m just poking the fandom with the answer to an active mystery.
