Here’s a thought-

When Splinter says Leo’s the leader at the end of Season 2…pretty sure he was joking.

After so many high stakes and high emotions, he (a bit cluelessly) makes a joke to add some levity, just to make things a bit easier for he and his sons to digest everything that happened. It was a lot that happened, so it makes sense that Splinter wants to make things that much softer for everyone.

But- making a joke like that, after everything they all just went through…I can definitely see how the events of the movie pave out in response.

For example, by joking about Leo in particular having the responsibility of a leader, that puts him directly in the sight of Raph’s building anxieties. Because after everything, it’s clear that Raph really started taking the hero name seriously to the point that he started undermining his own fun and childhood in the process. So in the eyes of a Raph who is so worried about what could happen if they’re not prepared again, Leo in particular kind of stands almost as a point of danger in that aspect.

And with the joke of Leo “leading” in any capacity ringing out over them, it’s easy to blame Leo and Leo alone whenever he goes and goofs off with Mikey and Donnie. I think as well that the concept of a leader being spoken after the Shredder just pushes more weight on Raph’s shoulders and makes him realize how much goofing off they did before when they should have been better heroes (despite them all just being kids...)

Raph knows his brothers are good, he knows and has pride in them and himself in turn, but it terrifies him to know that they won’t be ready for the next big threat, and Leo directly going against this caution even more than usual just pushes Raph to want to try more.

As for Leo- keep in mind what happened all throughout “Many Unhappy Returns.” Keep in mind what happened all throughout the series in general. In the former, Splinter more than once points out how he would rather have his other sons with him than Leo, especially because they “would take this seriously”…even though Leo was taking it seriously. (Not that Splinter should be expected to read what Leo was doing when Leo wasn’t making his plans clear, but that wording sticks with kids.) Even after Leo’s plan pulled through, Raph’s the one who spoke in trust of Leo, not Splinter.

As for what happens in the series in general…well, we see Leo mess up a lot, apologize a lot, get his brothers out of messes a lot, and even when he does well or is responsible it’s either glossed over or still seen as goofing off (no I will never be over that moment where Leo almost got Gus’s tags and got screwed over out of pure bad luck.)

So imagine hearing a joke like that as Leo, who for a good chunk of especially the start of the series has been a lowkey voice of reason. The idea that Leo being responsible for the team is nothing but a joke…? It’s understandable that it could feel like a blow, that it could push him to want to try less.

Especially after everything they just went through.

They’re heroes. | They’re kids.

Why shouldn’t they care? | Why should they care?

love headcanoning that cub (the character) is a stoner because cub (the guy) once put coffee and weed in the same category. like someone asked him if he smokes or something like that and he just went something along the lines of "no weed, no coffee, no drugs like that" like?? what do you mean

the absence of any new fishing spots or fishies in natlan whatsoever possibly implying devs might be abandoning the system altogether for future updates is kind of hilarious to me not in the sense that id really miss it for its uhhhhhh exciting (lol. lmao, even) gameplay or anything but in terms of like. can you imagine we make it to 6.0 we finally enter snezhnaya yet somehow. the long-awaited homeland of the guy whos. Canonically in lore Easily the most famous fishing aficionado in the current day and age within his home country. a fishing celebrity even. mr. childe ajax tartaglia . released all the way back in 1.1 finally stepping foot into his peak home turf as a True famous fisherman capable of singlehandedly popularizing entire fancy gadgets just bc he happened to like them and the entire fucking population went wild for them just for that. who brings up pro fishing tips every chance he gets every time it stops raining. except turns out 6.0 in the flesh theres jack shit out there in the entire country not a single fishing spot or fishing weapon or fishing association to its name within the actual game like 😭😭 it would be so cruel

Your lovely all of a sudden made me interested in the time travel fic not something I would have chosen on my own especially a 25+ chapter one, I have a disability with focus and attention problems among other things takes quite a bit to get interested in the long stuff thank for showing it 👋 a new favorite

AAA YES!!!!! Another resounding review and sign to GO READ Take the World by Storm by geokat!!!! It's probably the most ideal long running time travel au fic that I've read :)

Geokat rlly knows how to write a time travel story that caters to my interests, like I've read time travel fics (across many fandoms) that just rewrite the whole story's events, and it can feel kinda repetitive cause ur just experiencing the characters goin thru the same stuff again, but geokat acknowledges that the strawhats wouldn't want a repeat of the same adventure!!! It actually feels like it's own story rather than just a fix-it with geokat incorporating their own lil islands and adventures into this world :D They are really good at writing all the characters interacting with eachother and AND ANDDD I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!!

Though unfortunately, as much as I love long running fics as they have a lot of good build up, I am a very impatient person... WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE MY SPEEDRUN CRACK AU THAT BRANCHED OFF IT!!!!

I can't think of anything that could kill a generative ai system faster than letting it pull from blogs on here, its going to be fed so many erroneous callouts and pointless discourse posts that its gonna generate a way to speedrun offing itself
