#tbh lately i've been debating whether to keep them friends or let them be romantic

[slushglow]

is your usagi taller, shorter, or the same height as leo??

love ur art btw

man i am SO glad u asked HAHAHA IVE BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE ☝️

so he starts off taller than leo (when they're 15-16), and they both grow a little more as they age but leo catches up by the time they're 18. i hc that the mutagen affects the turtles even into adulthood tho which explains why (at least as far as we saw w leo in the future timeline) they have grown a TON. i imagine raph and donnie would have been the same. i think mikey's mystic powers kinda sucked the growth spurt juice outta him tho which is why he stayed the same 💔

anyway usagi still grows a little also just cause (and he's def not short by any means) but by the time they're in their early to mid twenties leo is noticeably taller than him. i just have a scene in my head of usagi and leo like standing next to each other in this totally mundane moment . and usagi is looking at leo and jolts when he realizes that the mfer is like a LOT taller than him but its an incredibly fond moment for him bc he can rmbr when he was tilting his head to look down at leo when they were kids and now he has to tilt his head up and he's just like DAMN (said very tenderly) . ANYWAYS

thank u again for the ask i was so excited to answer this fr it's something i have thought abt . i love when characters noticeably grow in comparison to each other in shows the detail can be so bittersweet and also heartwarming u know bc it rlly encapsulates all their changes and maybe even how their dynamic changes . U GET WHAT I MEAN ?

srry this was so long winded and thank u omg ur so kind 🙏 hoping to have more art soon work is kicking my ass but i will answer asks all day HAHAHA
