Leo and Leonardo

*before Leo was pulled out by Mikey, he spent some time talking to his future self.*

Raph told me, before he died, that I was the last hope the resistance had. That as long as I stayed alive, the resistance would continue and we’d win.

He- he trusted me with everything. He died for me. They all did. I didn’t know what made me so important. I didn’t know why they’d give everything to protect me, why it seemed I was always the last man standing.

They gave me everything. Their faith. Their devotion. Their lives.

And in the end, it didn’t matter. I- he started to tear up I couldn’t save them. I watched them all die.

They all died for some broken cause, some impossible idea that we could win. And I had to feed it to them. I had to tell them we could, there was hope, and it wasn’t worthless.

I told myself it so many times, I started to believe it. That there was some way out.

It was better to fight than wait anxiously. We all would’ve died regardless of our choices.

So many people fought. So many people lost their families. So many nameless people who gave their lives for the cause until our numbers dwindled from millions, to thousands, to hundreds, to three, and two, and one.

I can’t even remember being a kid. We grew up too fast.

Especially those born in the apocalypse.

There were more than just Casey. He was one of the lucky ones, the survivors.

I trained a lot of good people with strong wills, and watched them disappear. Heard the mission reports, watched the video feed, held the memorials.

I trained the young recruits. The ones who grew up knowing the red sky and the purple deserts. The children who rarely saw the sun and were constantly on the move. The ones who had learned to fight before they could read, or write.

Leonardo took a deep breath.

Casey is a survivor by heart. He had his mother to thank for that.

I suppose Raph was right. We did win. But it wasn’t because of me. It was because of you.

I had always believed I was destined for greatness. But I wasn’t expecting so many people to see it in me too. To put their faith in me.

A leaders burden is heavy. You take responsibility for your teams actions more often than your own. That’s just the way it is.

All these time travel shenanigans and it’s like everything I did, didn’t matter. All the lives that were lost, all the pain and suffering. It’s all gone. No one has to deal with it.

But Casey. He has to suffer alone.

I was expecting to be the fearless leader. I couldn’t let them know how scared I was- it would ruin the facade, and make people lose hope.

It’s scary to be responsible for the lives you protect.

I wanted you to be me and make my decisions. But I went through a lot to become me. You don’t have to go through those things at all. Be you.

Why do you think they put Savannah Claw Rook up to pull??? Is he even going to participate in Book 7???? I am so confused WHY HIM??? WHY NOT IDK, CREWEL? VARGAS? MAYBE TREIN?? WHY HIM.

I’m SO CONFUSED. Is it just for money grabbing or something like that? It doesn’t make any sense.

Also how prepared you are for the probably last update of Book 7?

I mean...it said he's a story card, and all the other story cards have had major roles, so I see no reason to assume he won't as well! (plus any staff cards are probably all going to be events like Crowley was; I would honestly be MORE surprised to see them as story cards.) really though I'm having fun trying to figure out how he's going to tie into things! we're back at Cerberus Ortho levels of "WHAT DOES IT MEEEAAAAN" and it's great. :D

I assume we're going to be doing some more dream-hopping, but I think it would be hilarious if it turned out to be someone else's dream instead of Rook's. who else could possibly be dreaming about him pre-fancification.

(I'm also half afraid that this really is the last part, and half afraid that it isn't. I'm -- I'm not going to believe anything until we get the diadorm rerun pickups, and maybe not even then)

I'm barely to the massacre and I can already tell I'm going to be screaming at every this-makes-no-sense decision made by the writers (your temple is under violent attack, and you evacuate the kids... to a barely enclosed corner in a prominent temple room? Instead of to the hundreds of sky bison that were highlighted as flying in earlier? Why?) (And Aang left to clear his head and think instead of to run from his duties? That's such a less compelling plot arc?) (And the show had him briefly monologue about being a goofy kid who loves pies and his friends instead of using the extended temple scene to show any of that? Didn't want to pay more child actors, did you, Netflix?)

Yeah I'm just. Going to be screaming at the screen instead of enjoying this. Different decisions aren't necessarily bad, but when those decisions seem to be in the direction of "show a man burning alive before we even get to the on-screen massacre" this is just... not the show for me.

My biggest fear when I was younger was forgiving those who have wronged me, because it meant I moved on.

Thinking about ambrosia not working for Jason Grace in Blood of Olympus because he hasn’t figured out where he belongs and who he wants to be yet. Thinking about him figuring it out, and, before anything else he decides to be, him stating that his home is wherever Piper and Leo are.

Thinking about him taking ambrosia after the Gaia fight, not sure if it will even work. Thinking maybe it’ll be a mix of his favorite foods from CHB and Camp Jupiter, or maybe that it’ll switch.

Thinking about Jason, utterly devastated about what happened to Leo, taking ambrosia for the first time in ages, and it does work, but instead of tasting like any of the foods from either camp it tastes like the tacos Leo made for them on that first mission in the sewer.

i need ghoap frantically making out against a door finally taking the leap on their feelings. need ghost grinding against soap, expecting to find him just as hard as him, only to feel nothing

and in all his wisdom and experience, he concludes soap was tortured and never told him

he’s trying to think of a delicate way to say he understands, that he’s been through it and it doesn’t change anything about how he feels (and who the fuck touched him so he can hunt them down and rend them limb from limb)

meanwhile trans!soap’s just trying to find the best angle to grind his cunt on ghost’s thigh

just it never even entering ghost’s head bc he’s never known a trans person but he has met plenty of people who’ve been tortured - himself included - so of course that’s his logical leap

soap takes off his shirt and he sees his top surgery scars and ghost asks if he wants him to kill the one who did it and soap just hums like, “actually, man did pretty good, they healed real well,” and ghost’s just teary-eyes with awe at how well he’s coping, “looking on the bright side, that’s my johnny.”

imagine he thinks johnny was fully castrated but sees he’s determined to still have a sex life with him so he buys packers and straps to help him bc hell yeah healing and soap’s just like, “holy shit i’ve never had such a thoughtful partner before, such a sweet man, lt.”
