#ask#canary continuity#actually this is one of those things i couldve used for evil in CL#before everything after it leo never really spoke with these casual terms of endearment#like he'd pull out a 'donnie-baby' or a 'tello' when he's trying to be a suck up. or a 'bud'/'buddy' of course they all call donnie that#things that are affectionate quite clearly#but he wouldnt bring out the softer ones unless he REALLY meant it#using them in a condescending or rude fashion is just a line he would never cross#like its not something that would seem like a big deal but in a more metaphorical sense yeah itd be Rude#he shouldve done that at least once in CL it wouldve been evil. oh well#honestly a reason i put emphasis on this habit is because i dont think leo is as free from the parentification as he seems#he's their hypeman. he cheers them up when they're sad. him and raph do co-lead and argue about the way forward all the time#he keeps the mood light#and he's more openly protective of raph than the other way around!#leo doesnt say the quiet part out loud like raph does but he can be a caretaker too#he's saved from the worst of it but you can see it in his behavior. he's a part of this dynamic too#so i try to express it through his dynamic with donnie especially in CW#when he's locked in this side of himself all the time cause he has to be
