[ cw: death mention / strangulation mention / stabbing mention / blood mention / self-sacrifice / codependency mention in tags / ]

I think a lot about how common it is for Raph to be the one to have direct focus put on him when Leo gets into all his near death experiences.

Like, when Leo is thrown off a building, it’s Raph who’s right there jumping after him, not even thinking about the consequences to himself when he does. When Leo almost gets skewered by the Krang, Raph’s right there to take the blow and send Leo to safety without a second thought. When Leo’s being strangled to near death, it’s a Krangified Raph doing the job, doing exactly what Raph would never, ever want to do. When Leo is telling Casey Jr to close the portal, it’s Raph who tries desperately to convince Leo otherwise.

Likewise, Leo is consistently very single minded when Raph gets forcibly separated from them. Both when in the sewers and by the Krang, Leo is dead set on finding Raph first and foremost.

I also think it’s interesting that during each of Leo’s near death experiences, the lightheartedness of his words during them goes directly hand in hand with both how close Raph is to him physically and how much danger Raph is also in in that moment. From a literal “I told you so” as Leo’s falling away from Raph to a soft joke about how “hero moves” are Raph’s style - both of these are on the more morbidly carefree side and both of these notably take Leo farther away from Raph and, in turn, have Raph not in immediate danger.

On the other side of things is the apology from Leo, heedless of the danger he himself is in as he seriously and genuinely speaks to a Krangified Raph face to face. Then there’s Leo’s freezing and desperation as Raph takes a hit meant for him and sends just Leo to safety, leaving Raph himself behind. Both of these involve much closer proximity and Raph being directly harmed - these together make Leo much more vulnerable in his words and actions, something not even the threat of death can make him.

These two care about each other so much, and they’re way too much alike for their own good.

zosan... zosan is so good for my health. Two equally powerful guys in the middle of the sea. THEY ARE EQUALLY STRONG AND EQUALLY GOOD PEOPLE!!!!!! they're kind hearted and care for their crew's safety more than anything. THE WINGS OF THE FUTURE PIRATE KING.

And like... I like the enemies trope just as much as the next person but my god if their rivalry isn't a 100 times more wholesome than if they simply just Hated each other's guts and called it a day + sanji's fucked up past and over +1000ch worth of canon story fills the angsty quota more than enough, allowing creators to come up with the craziest yet in-character fan content you could ever imagine

Thinking about s4 jonelias again. Do you ever think about Jon completely without guidance, drowning and confused and completely alone. Ok I cannot find the post for the life of me but. Yk that one post about what if Elias talked to Jon through statements before. This is partially inspired by all of that. Because I uh cannot stop.

Thinks about Jon knowing for a fact that Elias knows everything he needs to, and if he actually wanted to help he could! Easily! And he still has no idea what his actual intentions here are. It's driving him up the wall and back. He's still just giving him little tidbits of information. Things that'll just make his curiosity all that worse, because he has to encourage his development somehow. Maybe having Basira deliver them to sow more distrust. Thinks about Jon having this frustrated nervous obsession with him because he knows he's doing something and he doesn't know what. He needs to know. Not romantic not professional but a secret third thing (I need to study this man under a microscope. I want to bash his face in. I want him to know exactly what it's like to be so completely helpless and alone and have not a single speck of agency. I want to shatter that control and confidence so he can't keep acting like I'm the one being whiny for wanting to know why the world keeps trying to end. I want to know. I need to know why someone would do this to me, why anyone would do this to me, why any of this is happening, none of this makes sense and none of this is fair, so why is he so damn happy about it?) Do you get it. It's about the "you made me into this, you turned me into something I can't even recognize anymore, and then you left me alone." Do you get it. He hates him and he's supposed to be here. He was just gone. He turned him into something that nobody can even handle looking at, and then he just left him alone and afraid.

Anyways what I'm saying is can you imagine their reunion in this context. Personally I want to eat my own hands.

Am is probably the type to be like: "I don't know how to date or marry. I only know how to kill"

Fears that I've been repressing and not addressing, telling myself to stand tall and "not show weakness", started to slip into my nightmares.

I just want to crawl under my blanket and cry, cry, cry until I've cried myself to sleep... and wake up in a better parallel world, where my paranoia is not eating me alive, where I can feel trust and comfort.
