2012 Leo in the 2003 Universe: Why won’t these three won’t let me do anything?! I’m eighteen! Eighteen! An adult! I’ve been solely in charge of my own brothers for a whole year now. I don’t need them taking care of me!

2003 Leo in the 2012 Universe: Why are these literal children dating? Why is no one watching over these three kids? WHAT DO MEAN THEY’RE FATHERLESS—

One of my favorite things about the TMNT franchise is how they use the term shell shock. Like they just use it as a silly pun. Then theres the song for Bayverse thats like "knock knock youre about to get shell shocked." Shell shock is literally just an outdated term for PTSD. Knock knock youre about to get PTSD theyre singing and theyre so right all these boys are traumatized

Coming back for the first time in ages to drop some afterlife angst

--> AKA Leo dies right after they fish him out of the prison dimension due to medical complications (EVERY BONE IN HIS BODY WAS BROKEN) and the rest of the family gets to grow up without him <333 Mikey dies at 36 after an incident with his mystic powers. He can't believe how small his big bro used to be.

just pasting together the parallels mutant apocalypse gives us to other classic 'leo has to save raph from himself' moments they always do. its a beautiful reversal of that concept that works so well. letting raph save leo for once.

i love this arc, it shows that even at the end of the world, they'll still always be there for each other

technique looks perfect

If 2012! Leo was sent on a solo quest like 2007!Leo:

Thanks @bluesgras for the idea. Leo doesn’t think Donnie is nearly as funny as the rest of them.

How old even are you? Part 1/2

Part 2/2

That moment when your mentor figure is all of a sudden a gangly and insufferable teenager who follows none of his future advice. Like, what do you even do with that? They all talk and act the exact same but they’re all completely different people. It’s probably hilarious in non life threatening situations tho

The dramatic irony of seeing the adult that scolded you in the future doing the same dumb shit. I once watched old home videos of my parents as kids and it was some of the weirdest and funniest things I’ve ever seen lmao
