I always feel like 2012 Leo post Season 5 just said “Screw it” and stopped holding his tongue and said whatever came to mind

*Early Morning at the Hamato home and Mikey is rousing everyone for breakfast… with a bugle*

Mikey: *blowing the bugle in the tune of “Reville”* EVERYBODY UP! I MADE BREAKFAST! BE IN THE KITCHEN AT 6 AM SHARP!

Raph, Casey, April, and Donnie: *covering their ears and glaring at Mikey when he blows the bugle directly in their ears as they blearily stumble to the kitchen*

Leo: *rubbing his eyes as comes towards the kitchen*

Mikey: *blows the bugle in Leo’s “ear”*

Leo: *flinching* OW! FUCK!! *glaring at Mikey* You blow that fucking horn again, I swear to god, I will ram that fucking thing up your GODDAMN ASS!!!

Mikey: … *slowly puts the horn down*

Raph: *mostly shocked and mildly amused*

April, Casey, Donnie: … *stare wide-eyed as Leo stumbles into the kitchen for tea*

Leo’s love for magicians and magic shows isn’t brought up enough tbh, because it directly ties into the idea of a persona and fooling the audience’s eyes to see something that’s not actually there. This connects to his love of performance in general but also ties into why he struggled so much with his mystic powers.

Magic tricks are exactly that, tricks, a performance, masked actions hiding the truth. Meanwhile mysticism is intrinsically linked to the self and so Leo’s difficulty in even unmasking to himself is a big part of his journey that he continues to struggle with and in this essay I will-

I connected the dots (ie I saw two rottmnt dtiys challenges involving cars and decided to combine them)

AU crossover time! Featuring @angelpuns's Leo and @onionninjasstuff's Donnie and Mikey.

They saw Barbie in theaters, robbed the US government, and got ice cream afterward.

(In my mind this is post villain pb+j "redemption", meaning they're still gleefully destructive, but now also get along with their long lost family.)

thinking of leo and piper back at camp and leo trying to tell piper he likes jason but being unable to get the words out because he’s crying and piper just stopping him and saying, “i know, leo. i know.”

the real shame I need to unlearn is rarepair posting. I need to Not Care if it makes people weirded out or confused or angry when I draw or post about a given rarepair kissing because like no offense but this is tumblr why should I care what tumblr fandom bloggers think

So...what do we think of the way lab rats handled Taylor's disability? Personally, I think they did a decent job narratively. They steered away from "this is a sci-fi type of show so we can just 'fix' the disability". The visor Douglas made for her basically functions like a cane would, except its more compact and on her face, but all it does is tell her when an obstacle is in front of her...like a cane would. She's still blind. That doesn't go away. Taylor goes on missions again as the hero she is, even with her disability. She's disabled and she can go on missions.

I say narratively because there were a few comments about "a newbie, a quitter and a blind girl!" and with how Leo wanted the doctors to "fix it", but as far as Leo's comments go, he mostly felt guilty about his actions altering her way of life forever, which it did.

Seriously, what do we think? I'm not physically disabled myself, but I'm taking a class where we talk about this stuff and I was reminded of this Taylor plotline recently. I've been thinking about this all day.

i absolutely hate thinking about how trish winterman's attacker (the younger one) was among daisy hardy's friend group. like, the group that probably shared her pictures. meaning she could've very well been vulnerable to him

Wait come back those tags on your last post about mystic sickness I love those ideas!! :0 /lh /gen

Do you have more ideas? /nf

-☆star anon☆

OH BOY DO I HAVE IDEAS!

I bet the topic has been touched upon many times before, but I personally adore the idea of the boys getting some type of mystic sickness - either by catching some weird yokai bug or just from overusing their mystics to the point they get overloaded.

The following are just base ideas so anyone is free to say their own additions!

For Raph, I’d imagine he just makes a ton of copies of himself - but these copies aren’t fully developed, and range wildly in size. He doesn’t posses control over them as well, so they’re basically running wild all over the place (which is Not Good considering how strong they are.) Luckily they’re easily poofed, but another keeps taking the place of any that are dealt with.

For Donnie, I think literally any thought that crosses his mind manifests itself into reality. Like Raph, he can’t control what it is or what it’ll do, but unlike Raph his constructs are more often just space fillers - in that, the Lair gets very very crowded very very quickly. For the more active constructs he thinks up - basically he Kevin McCallister’s the Lair on accident, so pretty much everywhere he’s even near is automatically booby trapped.

For Mikey- poor Mikey is overwhelmed to the extreme. I see him as having the most innate mysticism, so it stands to reason that he’d be very affected by an illness like this. Portals to different timelines open in rapid succession all around him, he can’t make get his feet back to the ground due to continuously floating upward, and sooooo many burning gold chains cover the place. Luckily it’s not as painful or fatally dangerous as a focused sustained usage of his more powerful abilities is, but it’s still dangerous in its own right.

For Leo, like I mentioned in those tags, I love the idea of him simply being unable to exist in a single space for longer than like, a second. If the space exists, there’s a chance he shows up there. He’s just flitting in and out of space really. He finds it more annoying than anything, but it’s also terrifying! Especially considering the types of places he has the potential to show up in. (But yes he does end up in at least one person’s found footage by accident lol)

The others (Splinter, April, Draxum, etc) would absolutely be trying to wrangle the boys while this occurs.

Okay, random thoughts about ROTTMNT regarding a "what if" scenario:

I saw this post and it got me thinking about what if the last back up plan of all back up plans for the bad future timeline in the Rise movie was supposed to be Both F!Leo AND Casey Jr. going back to the past to stop the Krang?

(Really really (that's two reallys) long talk about my thoughts on this under the cut)

Like, they both go back and it roughly follows the same timeline as the movie but so much would still be different just because f!Leo is there too with CJ. Which would be nice for CJ specifically because then he wouldn't be alone after the events of the movie and f!Leo and CJ would have someone that could talk to from the bad future, but I just can't stop thinking about how everyone would react and how differently conversations would go during the events of the movie specifically. There is just so much that could happen and it could go more into depth on how CJ feels about the events and how f!Leo would react as well. And every time Mikey tries using his mystic mojo, f!Leo and CJ's hearts break just a little and that also happens every time any one of them does something that their future selves would do in the bad future. (I wish we got more into CJ's character and how he was feeling during/after the events of the movie and I'm so glad that there are so many writers and artists who have dove into his character, thank you guys)

Just imagine f!Leo seeing his younger self come back from the initial attack on the Foot where he's panicking and Raph isn't back yet and f!Leo just gets a flash back to when he lost his Raph. And then past Leo would still go after CJ (and possibly f!Leo too) about how they knew this would happen and then both Splinter and f!Leo try to talk to p!Leo (or maybe it could go a different way, there's just so many possibilities). And then from that point on, f!Leo sees what p!Leo is doing and deciding as the leader and f!Leo is simultaneously irritated that his past self is being reckless and not listening to anyone's input but also realizing that he is a 16 year old kid and that he was too when the invasion first began in the bad future. (I personally don't think f!Leo would hate his past self if he ever went back in time and that he wouldn't act hostile towards his past self, there'd just be a lot of feelings that he never got to really acknowledge during the apocalypse and a lot of realizations and thoughts occurring that he also wouldn't be able to properly address until after the invasion is stopped. Plus, both Leos I feel like have a lot of self hatred but I don't think f!Leo would take out his hatred on his past self).

Then when the bros are going to the turtle tank, f!Leo either stays with Splinter and April while the bros and CJ go to where Raph is or f!Leo goes with the bros and CJ. If he goes to help find Raph, they'll all still get separated in the subway system but it would still be p!Leo and CJ and the PB&J duo + f!Leo and after that, the final fight would happen. How? Idk lmao, but it would still lead to p!Leo alone to fight Krang Prime and his self sacrifice. And it makes me wonder how f!Leo would react to his past self's decisions, knowing what he was getting himself into? Knowing he would have done the same? Understanding how CJ felt every time he made a similar decision in the bad timeline and barely made it out alive? Knowing exactly how p!Leo feels but also knowing exactly how everyone else feels when losing someone close? The dread of knowing that they're gone but not wanting to accept it? Thinking about how he is going to be the last of their family to die from the bad timeline but the first in this one? Then once a few minutes pass, Raph uses his comm to reach them.

And he tells them to get to Staten Island asap, his voice urgent and filled with worry, but not grief. Questions are asked and eventually Raph says that p!Leo is alive, awake (barely), but severely injured and needs medical attention like now. Then one of the four (either Splinter, April, CJ, or f!Leo) ask Raph how p!Leo isn't in the Prison Dimension anymore and he answers by stating Mikey made a portal with his mystic mojo and CJ and f!Leo's hearts stop. Because they think that Mikey died making that portal just like their bad timeline Mikey did.

So, the four of them head to Staten Island as fast as they can and CJ and f!Leo are confused but relieved to see that Mikey is okay and not dead (but they take note of the markings on Mikey's hands, Donnie's right hand, and Raph's left hand). Then, they see Leo's extremely broken body, they make their way home, and they ALL start their healing processes. How all of that may occur can go in many different ways and I'm down for any of them.

I'm sure others in the Rise fandom have also thought of f!Leo going with CJ to the past to "find the key and stop the Krang" but I just had that thought occur and I had to just talk about what that could entail and all my thoughts about it. Because there are a lot of works where f!Leo goes back in time but I don't think I've seen one where he goes back in time with CJ in order to stop the Krang and is there for the events of the movie. If any of you do know of something like that, would you mind sharing it? I'd love to see it.

Writing this fic has made me much more enamored with Thatcher Demko and Trevor Zegras than I was when I started it

Anyways! Haunting 3: Too Weird to Quinn, Too Cool to Hughes coming soon! I got really into an examination of grief and brotherhood hope you’re all ready!!

Sometimes I think about how the natural energies might not have been as clean cutting as we're lead to believe, and how Yuuya and Yuzu might not be the only split-soul existences, entirely because of a blast radius that neither Ray nor Leo knew about if the En cards ever went off.
