newborn kittens;

endangered species;

Toby, whose violin was taken away.

Fun little silly thought I had about the Lair Games and specifically Leo deliberately losing is all the reasons he could have for doing so.

My favorite headcanon for his main motivation is that Splinter wasn’t proud of him anymore.

I imagine that, in the beginning, winning the Lair Games was Leo’s opportunity to shine. He wasn’t artistic or the baby of the family like Mikey, wasn’t a tech genius who created amazing inventions like Donnie, wasn’t the eldest who was insanely strong and dependable like Raph. So he had to shine somewhere else- anywhere else- and what better way to get attention than to be a winner? A champion?

And then he won too much. And it wasn’t special anymore. He got too big headed, too cocky, he knew this was his element and he ran with it.

Splinter’s words of congratulations slowly petered out. Suddenly, there was no real reason to win.

Winning feels empty when the only one cheering you on is yourself.

So- Leo schemed. And he’s a great schemer, fooling his whole family (and Donnie did deserve a win- people were way happier when he won.)

He even gave up his prized possession! His room!

Though he knows his brothers probably think it’s a bad prize. A terrible one, even.

Leo doesn’t sleep much as is, though. So Dad’s snores were more comforting than anything. It was reassuring to hear him so clearly alive and close by.

Even if the distance between them was larger than Leo’d like.

He’d just have to find something else, something more to show his dad that Leo was someone to trust, to be proud of, to love.

He gets his chance soon after, when he needs to pull off a plan against Big Mama at his dad’s side. Leo can only hope this victory is one that has a lasting effect when his father looks at him with pride once more.

Victory, for Leo, is a pretty loaded term.

My favorite thing in the world about Rise Leo is that he acts Like That but then at any given moment he's almost always doing something that's like. so fucking clever.

Like in the episode "The Ancient Art of Ninja Hide and Seek," the guys are sneaking around Big Mama's hotel to steal something from her guard dog Gus's collar. Raph's idea of stealth is uhhh holding a frond over his head, and Mikey and Donnie spend most of their time scooting a food cart up the stairs. Gus sniffs them all out and they all have to be rescued by Splinter.

And then Leo does this

And it seems so stupid, but like? it's actually not?? there's a strategy here???

The other guys get caught bc Gus is an incredible tracker w a great sense of hearing and smell—which Leo knows from their last run-in with him. So what does Leo do? He eliminates the problem by purposefully sneaking up on Gus in a crowded, noisy, distracting room so Gus won't be able to hear or smell him. And it WORKS—Gus doesn't notice him even when he's right under his nose! He just gets unlucky that the Evil Sports match ends right when he gets his hands on the collar.

It's just. so endlessly funny to me that Leo's the one who gets the closest to actually completing the mission without needing Splinter to bail him out, and no one notices bc he does so with the air of a court jester. A little clown boy. He truly radiates the vibe of someone constantly flying by the seat of his booty shorts, meaning no one realizes until Shredder that he's secretly the only one on the team who regularly uses ANY problem-solving or planning skills lmao

IDK if people will come for me for saying this but not showing how Sauron took control over the orcs for the sake of surprising the audience was not good writing.

Also, why was Galadriel just standing there watching Adar get stabbed? Asking for a friend.

I prefer the original art of Chapter 423. Making everything soft and gentle feels out of place? Especially for Deku.

This is fine. Deku looks slightly regretful in the new art. Paired with the dialogue, I can see him feeling reluctant to have to fight.

This is dumb. At least a more stern looking Deku gives the impression that he's got conviction. He wanted Shigaraki to stop, to end the cycle, but Shigaraki wouldn't, so Deku had to take it into his own hands. New art makes him look at Shigaraki with more pity. 'I felt really bad for you. I wish you stopped. The cycle...' Yet even with all the pity, he couldn't save Shigaraki.

This is awful!!! Hilariously so. Original art Deku looks like he's certain that it's all been destroyed. You can even see the hint of a smile. Trying to reassure Shigaraki that it has truly been destroyed. But new art Deku is like... everything from the dialogue format, to the look, it's all uncertain. Like he's a bit confused. Hasn't it been destroyed? 'Shigaraki, you're gonna die soon cuz i just killed you. it's been destroyed? go on, boy. leave. it's gone. just die completely already.'

I guess maybe it makes sense with the epilogue??? the unease and pain Deku feels throughout it. But—the epilogue isn't Deku conflicted over his killing of Shigaraki - he isn't, he accepted it and feels it was necessary - just that he's unable to navigate post-war life with all the loose ends (at least until he realizes the answer is 'let's keep reaching out when it's not our business societal injustice is not actually our business as heroes but we're so nice we'll take on the burden! Next time!!!')

imo. Original art is Deku at least looking fully upon the man he just killed and maintaining his conviction and respect for his opponent. New art is Deku pitifully telling a dying man that he's a sinner but there wasn't anything Deku could've done and he's sad that things had to be this way.

“I can fix him” “I can make him worse” well I can recognize that there is indeed something wrong with him but have no effect on it one way or another, instead opting to just point at him in wordless recognition like this
