Leo being put into a situation where there is absolutely no fighting, just verbal manipulation and perception games, would be amazing to witness. We see a lot in the series how good he is at subterfuge and how he uses his perception to manipulate to great effect, so it’d be so cool to really see it put to the test even more.

Manipulation is one of the most effective tactical strategies of all time, so just imagine Leo putting this skillset of his to the full test. Imagine the boys slowly get up to busting bigger and more powerful criminals, including those with networks of crime under their belt, and a simple fight isn’t enough to take them down. For criminals like this, Leo’s skills in subterfuge would be deadly.

All of the double life duos were great, but i wish cleo and martyn were appreciated more by the fandom, they were hilarious and i really hope one day they team up for real

When that romance novel teaser aired, and I was subsequently sent into the stratosphere of seeing Colin and Penelope simply looking at each other in front of a mirror, I remember so many online being like, I don't go here, but this height difference!

Their height difference is obviously adorable. But I think all of the ways their physical stature is played around with, since the start of the series, is also really interesting.

In the very first episode, Colin sweeps Penelope off her feet by asking her to dance. And while he's hamming it up, she's staring up at him adoringly, firmly solidifying his pedestal.

In season 2, right after Colin visits Marina, Penelope stops him on the steps. I wonder if Marina's words about Penelope are playing in his mind. To him, Penelope was the only one in that situation who acted above reproach. He told her as much before he left to go abroad. And as he expresses his regret for his part in Marina's current circumstances, he also disparages Whistledown. I think this might be the beginning of Colin placing Penelope up on her pedestal. Yet, Whistledown literally towers over him.

And then the most significant use of height difference interplay thus far is implemented when Colin kneels before her in the carriage, supplicating himself.

We of course have the magnificent modiste street scene where they visually illustrate their power struggle.

But I have to say that the wedding scene has one of my very favorite shots of them. It's right after that stunning handhold. They then face the entire ton together, and to me, they've never looked so small. Even though Colin is taller, they look so innocent, and I'm reminded by how young they really are.

They've really helped each other grow this season, but they also have so much more growing to do. And I have no doubt that they will grow together.

Penelope might be small in stature, but she is mighty in character. And Colin does not have to be larger than life to deserve Penelope's love and devotion.

Actually, Guzman is his spanish name.

OH YEAH some other folks pointed that out too, makes sense since it's an irl Spanish name (probably why I see it around a lot!) 😳

(normally it's a surname, I've only seen it used as a first name once in a blue moon -- but also in the pokemon world it's pretty clear that naming conventions aren't the same lol)

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.

I can't help now but imagine that when Cold finally falls prey to the hibernation scheme (as they all will, eventually 👁👁) Hunted will take the opportunity to put him in the washing machine until the mange crust is all gone.

First of all, who’s to say they fall to the hibernation? 👁️👁️

Secondly, NO DON’T WASHING MACHINE MY BOY I’VE BEEN THERE IT IS HELL HE WON’T SURVIVE-
