#Tmnt Leo and Mikey

Angst sketch of 2012 Mikes and Leon

Christmas Version!

I loved both of your prompts soooo much! But of course time crunch had to choose to do one only. Nevertheless I still had fun. Sorry if the sketch is sloppy but I didn’t want it to look like crap by coloring it wrong or having to turn it in late or half done. I loved this prompt of 2012 Mikey angst because he deserved more attention in that subject.

I also thought Leo and Mikey’s relationship was fun so I went down the angst category they both fit into; their dad splinter. While splinter is a father figure to all of the turtles in this version (and every version), I feel like these two initiate warm interactions with him more than Donnie and Ralph(Mikey barely edging Donnie). Mikey calling out to Splinter as his papa will probably forever scar my outlook on his character. So who better to comfort him when he misses him than his eldest brother with a similar trauma.

Hope you like this and Merry Christmas!

Look at these innocent, little baby turtles. Not a thought goes on behind those eyes. Sure hope nothing bad happens to them.

“I’m still trapped

in the disgusting feeling

and I keep remembering

that I’m still broken

from a sacrifice I didn’t ask”

When the family take trauma bonding to far.

HI SPLIN- ...wait...

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.

Hold up… I slowed down this small snippet. Casey’s grappling hook comes out of his arm. Does he have a Genius Built bionic arm too?! That future Donnie built?! WAITAMINUTE! Tell me I’m not the only one that sees it…

Ones hands can tell the story of how they’ve lived… and how far they have come.

I’m a sucker for Good Dad Splinter ever since I watched TMNT ‘03. That rat was gifted sapience and his immediate instinct was kindness. I love that for him.

Rise Splinter lived a rollercoaster of a life, but as a Hollywood star he remembered the names of all his stunt guys and coworkers, and as a prisoner he cared for the rat that shared his cell. His sons are very close and physically affectionate, I think that says something about how he cares? That’s just how I like to headcanon him :)

It’s interesting to explore the idea that a seemingly monstrous transformation is what pushed him to be a kinder human
