#also i think it gets worse knowing donnie's an autistic teenager!!

[qoldenskies]

What really gets me about Kitsune is that she did all that to a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD. Like, someone whose emotional regulation center isn’t even fully developed yet. God forbid a literal KID be messy and make mistakes and do his level best to try and fix them with the only knowledge he has at his disposal, right?

it's unfortunate a lot of real life people see teenagers that way; that if they're old enough to make the mistake, they're old enough to pay for it. hell, the US carceral system will arrest (usually impoverished and groomed into crime) teenagers for mistakes that they'll kill them for decades later. they consider that justice.

and as a god, kitsune sees donnie that way. he doesn't look like a little kid anymore, and he caused quite a bit of damage, both to their traditions and to their town; she wasn't the one to actively make the decision to go after him, but she believed the punishment was worth it compared to the crime. and like she says, even if he is a kid, she thinks this is one way of learning that life isn't fair. and when donnie dies for it, his brothers will know. she knows they're hamato, mind you. dont exactly think she's a big fan of their clan

it's cruel. it's utterly heartless. it rings true to the way that people will actually treat literal children. trust me, i would know personally-- i've been punished like an adult for making bad choices as a 14 year old before.

and it's especially cruel seeing how he acts during and AFTER the curse, how it's SO fucking clear that he's just a kid. a babie. three whole apples tall.

like oh my god! look at him! baby! baby boy!!!! how could you gleefully hurt him!!!!!! he's just a boy!!!!!!!!

About kid leo:

- Does he still argues with Dee about Hawaiian pizza?

- When leo gets cornered would he call for Reforcement from his dad or older brothers? For ex:

Leo: " Dad! Raph! Dee won't allow me to win in argument he's bullying me! " lol

- how did Senior hueso reacted to leo turning small?

- Does leo still loves unicorn but unlike teenager him he tries to hide it because he maybe feels embarrassed?

- Would little leo join lair games?

- how did Draxum reacted to leo turning smoll?

- Was there times leo tried to act sneaky or like a spy and his brothers humored him by acting they really can't see or notice him?

- Did little leo tried using his sword and creat portals?

- did any enemies of rottmnt (foot clan, hypno or meat sweat) met with leo?

About L33:

- Does he have something relate to Leonardo? Blood sample, memories data...etc. Since - as i believe - the real leo is dead.

- Does L33 can creat portals?

- If L33 can enjoy music, does it mean he has his own interests and hobbies? For ex; skating, playing guitar...etc.

- Does his memories get glitches about the past? If by chance he doesn't remember what happened to him.

- comparing to the real Leo, how strong and flixbal L33 is?

- Does L33 have any robotic advantages such as flamethrower, laser beam...etc?

- was there more then just one L33? Since he could be used in war.

That's all for now

I was writing this earlier and it got deleted so trying again :) ahaha

Some of these are spoilers, so I'll answer what I can

- Yes. He will not only argue about it, he refuses to eat any other type of pizza. He also will only rectangle cut pizza. Medium Leo is ' less picky' , but Kid Leo is still only eating certain foods right now. ( I say 'picky' with quotes because I write Kid Leo as autistic because he's based largely on me as a kid and I think as he gets older he masks better and is better at ignoring certain sensory icks as well as his palate had changed and he is able to eat more :) )

- I think he would more often call for Splinter or CJ since he likes them the most. He is still iffy about his brothers. He accepts that they're his brothers, but they're not HIS brothers, ya know?

- he is both concerned and absolutely in love with Kid Leo. He would love to babysit this kid, but Kid Leo doesn't particularly care for him just because he doesn't know who he is and he's p suspicious of new people.

- he loves loves LOVES unicorns and he is not ashamed at all. He would gladly replace his ' clone bros' with unicorns if he could.

- Leo would love the lair games, though they'd have to modify them because he's so small and they don't want him to get hurt. Splinter is the only one that is like ' he'll be fine' if only because he's seen Leo pull worse stunts as a child and is pretty sure he's indestructible. Which is not true but Leo was always pretty good at hiding when he got hurt from Splinter.

- spoilers <3

- definitely. After the investigation arc Leo probably tried to sneak around to do more investigating and his brothers just pretended they didn't know what he was doing so he didn't get any angrier at them.

- he hasn't even seen his swords yet, but it's safe to say he won't be able to make a portal since he hasn't unlocked his ninpo yet.

- not yet <3

Now for the L33 stuff:

- so, Donnie created L33 in the hopes that Leo's spirit would eventually inhabit the robot. He originally just made an AI, but when that wasn't working properly he just hoped to see his brother again. They still aren't sure if the AI kicked in or if Leo's spirit inhabits the robot :/

- spoilers, BUT if Leo's spirit is in the robot he would be able to. In theory.

- yes! He doesn't have set hobbies or anything, but has spent the last 5-ish years roaming and exploring. He's very interested in 'human things'. Sort of like Wall-E :) he does have one hobby that is distinctly something he enjoys, but that's also a spoiler.

- it's more like his life ' started' 5 years prior to when the story takes place. He woke up with no memories of his name or anything and sort of just put stuff together with context clues. He knows his name is L33 because its written on him, and he knows the bandanas on his swords are important for some reason. He knows he's looking for something. Trying to access memories before waking up is impossible for him, because there's simply nothing to access.

- he's about as strong as the real Leo, but probably more flexible. His shell has plates so he's able to bend a little more, and Donnie made his joints similar to a ball-jointed doll's so he can extend his limbs a little further.

- nothing special! Donnie wanted to make him as close to the real Leo as possible. He does have special clawed feet/hands for better climbing and tearing into stuff ig, but Donnie added those specifically because of the difficult terrain. The printer was originally added only for maintenance/diagnostics reasons, but also just in case L33 needed to communicate without using his hands.

- just the one! Donnie didn't really make him for ear or for the advantages a robot might have, he just missed his twin :/ he had also planned on making a Raph-bot at one point, but after L33 went missing ( Donnie and the others assuming he had 'died' somehow) it was too painful to make/lose another brother for a second time. Not to mention at that point finding materials to do so would have been too difficult.

Basically the thought process for Donnie was ' I'm gonna make this robot to be my brother cause I miss him and this is my coping mechanism and idk maybe he'll be an asset too but that's not the point'.

Thank you for the ask I love rambling bout these guys <3333 hopefully I didn't accidentally spoil anything hueheueheueheu
