#transfem 12!leo

[olive-garden-hoe]

Man when 2012!Splinter said “you are who you choose to be, not what others made you” that really hit my little non-binary heart

[olive-garden-hoe]

YES

She found out from one time Mikey called her pretty as a joke and she just kinda froze for a sec bc of how good it felt!

I also hc that Donnie is non-binary (they/them and exploring neopronouns) and Mikey doesn’t care about their gender but he def isn’t a boy (all pronouns). Anyways I think April talked about a non-binary friend and they asked her why she was using they/them pronouns and she explained the concept to them and Donnie was like 😳 and realized who they were. They did more research and came out later, Mikey came out at the same time lol.

Anyways this is important because Leo was like “I’m safe? This can happen?” And started to find clothes in trash cans to sew into a cute sweatshirt and skirt. When she tried it on after a month of working on it, the gender euphoria was unreal.

I imagine Leo as a DIY girly and she finds a sketchbook where she draws as many cute outfits she can think of or remember a girl on the street wearing and makes the clothes/accessories herself

I think she would be too scared to tell her brothers but Raph finds out by accident after finding her in her skirt and sweatshirt watching Space Heroes and drawing Space Heroes inspired outfits

He supports her (obviously) and stands with her when she tells her siblings (who are super excited to have a sister)

Then it’s time to tell Splinter, who she was especially scared about, since Splinter was trying to be supportive of Mikey and Donnie but Leo thinks he is confused/angry and just doesn’t say it

But when she tells Splinter, my guy hugs his new daughter and says how brave she is and how her siblings are lucky to have such a great big sister.

They all join in for a group hug and Donnie and Mikey, who were also kinda concerned about Splinter’s reaction, feel rlly supported

Anyways Leo now makes her masks longer and Splinter helps her make pretty dresses

I love her sm and I think April and Casey got her, Donnie, and Mikey pride flags for their mutation day

(They also got Raph some stim toys and a weighted blanket bc autistic Raph is real)

Splinter got a Polaroid camera that he was confused by at first, but soon used it to take pictures that he sticks to the wall

He likes taking pictures of his kids being happy the most, ex. Donnie working on machines, Raph and Mikey parallel playing, Leo with her new dress, etc.

She’s amazing I love her please give me your hcs (grabby hands)

Everyone: *suprised & confused*

April: Wait gusy- I've seen one of those in Splinter's books.

April: *goes there and without any trouble takes the sword*

April: It's one of the famous kunoichi's sword. The legend says that is was cursed that only women were able to wield that sword.

Mikey exicited: Uuuu.. Magic sword!

Donnie: No Mikey. It's not magic.

Mikey: Then how do you explain that only April can hold it, huh!?? MAGIC!

Donnie: *goes to April and tries to take the sword, but the sword immiediately is to heavy and lands on the ground*

Mikey: See? Magic sword.

Donnie: I don't know how it work, for now, but there surely must be a scientifical explanation for this-

Mikey: M. A. G. I. C.

Donnie: IT'S NOT-

Leo: HEY, FOCUS GUYS! *instinctively takes this sword without any problem and is ready to fight*

Thinking abt transfem Leo again

[drewlu-plus]

Donnie, opening a portal to an alternate dimension just to look in: Look at this one-

Mikey: Why are we girls in this one?

Raph: Oh oh let me see... Wait why is Leo still a guy?

Leo, breaking the portal maker: No reason, must be a glitch

[michel-dude]

Raph accidentally ended up in another dimension

Oops 🫢

TMNTober day 03 : Eyes

It’s the long week-end for me, which means four days of rushing to catch up the TMNTober and procrastinating on my homework

[whatdancingdorkswasalreadytaken]

another thing that really could’ve had so much potential but then was never fucking used in 2012 is leo’s changed voice after her coma.

like, she overhears mikey crying and having a nightmare one night and goes to comfort him and says something like ‘hey, mikey, it’s alright, it’s me’ and she’s shaking him awake and mikey, terrified and half-asleep, shouts ‘go away’ because he doesn’t realise it’s her and thinks it’s one of the monsters or strangers of his dream and her heart just breaks because, even in his sleepy and scared state, her little brother doesn’t recognise her. that her voice is another thing that shredder took from her. that she’s changed now. forever.

raph wonders for ages who’s calling from the other room and thinks someone’s broken into the lair before his eyes widen and he comes to the same realisation. that this is leo, this is what she sounds like, it’s another reminder of what shredder and the others did to her on the day of the invasion.

any of them being upset and wanting to hear comforting words and leo tries but it just doesn’t feel Right and then they realise that it doesn’t feel like it’s leo saying the words, and that’s why it isn’t clicking, because it still sounds like a stranger, because they can still mainly remember what leo had sounded like before. 

idk, little things like this.

(edit: sort-of follow up post on this can be read here!)
