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.
I saw someone made an AU where Aang was actually 16 when he was told he was the Avatar like he was supposed to, and froze at that age as well, and now I can't stop thinking about it.
I mean i can draw them- fdbhvd
But for them to be in the Bean AU specifically id have to really think it over.
Cause remember this is AFTER Eclipse encountered them and went MAD. (So I was assuming he just saw something he couldn't comprehend. Such as Gemini's form is... its light. But not Uncomprehendable that we SEE in the show. Which if i took inspiration from a horror show i watched. Itd be a bit more terrifying, unsettling more in tone even.)
So Eclipse is Terrified of Astrals, he knows star power, iS ALIVE. Lunar I think since not being like... infused with star power in this AU, is obviously Confused, 'Bro thats just a tall star person how are they scary' but like picking up the VIBE from Eclipse so hard that its hard not ignore. (I think Bloodmoon would ignore the RED FLAGS in favor of Oh My God Eclipse is SCARED hellyeah)
Anyway Eclipse having seen the horrors and just wanting his brothers to take *a fucking hint*.
