We were robbed of a Hueso Jr. episode because good god I need he and Leo to interact.
I can just imagine an episode where a very busy Hueso has no choice but to ask Leo to babysit, and Leo’s like heck yeah I’d rock at that.
And of course Hueso is constantly like oh god what if something goes wrong that’s PEPINO he left with his CHILD.
So continuously throughout the episode he imagines the worst case scenarios for what could possibly be happening.
Every time Hueso imagines another catastrophic scenario the scene cuts back to Leo and Hueso Jr just calmly watching a movie or playing a game or something else equally as innocuous.
Eventually the worry gets to Hueso so much that he cuts his business short and races back home to see -
A peacefully sleeping Hueso Jr smiling as he lays snuggled up next to a shockingly quiet Leonardo.
He’s pleasantly surprised, and agrees to ask for Leo again next time he needs a babysitter.
Or, as it seems he may need to, when Hueso Jr. wants Leo to visit.

Was waiting for the full image to be revealed and it seems like I was right. No Belos. (Art by Dresden Douglas).
That’s important to me because this seems like a pretty big foreshadow of the Collector’s inevitable position within the show. This is the whole Boiling Isles Crew - everyone who’s involved in this big gigantic extended family (for better or worse with Odalia’s case).
The Collector is also here, and by god does he just look so lonely staring at the main crew. Wishing he was with them. He wants to be part of it.

hi, if you don't mind me asking, who was the 'certain driver' who had their ableism defended by their fans? sorry if there was a reason why you didn't name them before
Hi, it was Max Verstappen he used ableist language against Lance in 2020/2021? And also in 2017 against a US steward and then didn't apologise for it - said it wasn't his problem people were upset and then later on said he didn't mean to hurt anyone.
The 'M' word is a derogatory word used against children with down syndrome in the Netherlands.
A lot of his fans defend him by saying he was young at the time and he said it in the heat of the moment (no other driver in f1 has ever used a slur in the heat of the moment - that suggests it's a part of his day to day life). Also, he said it twice he knew what he was saying and didn't stop himself from saying it multiple times.

Rise Rant: Leo's Sword Situation
Yes, this is a call-out post.
I obsessively reload the Rottmnt page on AO3 every day so I'm caught up with most of the new/updated fics, which is how this phenomena came to my attention.
There are a decent amount of fics where Leo still uses an odachi instead of his iconic twin katana after unlocking Hamato Ninpō. I know some Rise fans were unhappy with the reversion to the OG weapons and stick with the mystic weapons, and there's nothing wrong with that. You do you. I've even seen some fic authors write Leo using both odachi and twin katana interchangeably. Great!
My issue is with the group of people who seem to think that post-Ninpō, Leo wields TWO ODACHI.
I was reading a fic yesterday where one commenter (we'll call them OP) 'informs' the author that Leo uses twin odachi post-Ninpo, not katana.
Someone else replied, saying something along the lines of "I thought the garden trowels turn into twin katana. They're different from what I remember."
Then OP responded to the reply like "Nah, it's odachis. Imagine how strong Leo must be to wield two at once!"
And that, as they say, was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
WHERE DID THIS IDEA COME FROM? Denial? Glorification of Rise? Misinformation? Something else? All of the above?
Odachi and katana are very different swords from appearance alone. You don't need knowledge of martial arts to know this.
Still in denial? Here's the proof.
Katana have thinner blades and wide hilts. Odachi are much bigger and heavier, and in the show clearly have a wider and longer blade.
IRL comparison. The odachi is bigger and longer than the tachi (the smallest sword in the 1st pic) and the katana is smaller/shorter than the tachi.
This size/length difference remains true in the show. The odachi is almost as big as Leo at his full height while his twin katana only take up roughly the vertical length of his shell. There are some inconsistencies because the show has too much going on to really focus on sword length, but still.
If you're still not convinced, then let's talk animator logic. Except Donnie, all the turtles use their OG weapons in the beginning of the pilot episode. The katana in Leo's hands are basically identical to the katana he wields post-Ninpō.
The way the two swords are drawn in the show are also visually different.
Just from a logical standpoint, it's obvious that Leo would not be using two odachi. We've seen him wield his odachi with one hand so it's entirely possible that he's capable of using two at once, but even so it's hardly practical and even just plain inefficient, especially when you take into account his sword-throwing teleportation move. It doesn't matter that Leo could do it. Two giant, heavy swords are just cumbersome and impractical for a fighter who relies on speed and mobility.
Headcanons that glorify Rise are one thing. The "bio-engineered soldiers of war" headcanon is fanon because there are many uncertain factors so who's to say it can't be canon. However, spreading very blatant misinformation of canon, like this debacle with Leo's swords, is not okay.
TL;DR: Rise Leo uses one (1) mystical odachi for most of the series but uses twin katana after unlocking Ninpō.
If you still can't see it, then you are — to put it harshly — either blind or stupid, neither of which are mutually exclusive.
Thank you for listening to (reading) my TED Talk.
