#cat Leonardo

[brunhielda]

I have always had this weird idea in my head that Leonardo is very much a cat. Very sleek, fastidious, elegant, ninja. And honestly, comparing 2012 TMNT to Rise Leo only heightened that. Hear me out:

Rise Leo is full cat. He absolutely has his own mind about everything and will change how he feels about anything on the slightest whim, and KNOWS, deep down in his soul, that he RULES over everyone around him- there’s just no point in letting them know that. Then he’d have to actually work. He even goes by… get this… LEON.

2012 Leonardo is a cat. He is sleek and elegant while fighting, tidy, and, deep down, thinks he always knows best. BUT… he is a cat…who thinks he has to be a dog. He thinks he has to be “perfect leader.” He thinks he has to be Captain Ryan. He wants to be, in essence, a Good Boy tm.

Whether you see Raph as a street cat, a loyal hound who isn’t let out for enough walks, or some sort of angry badger, the idea of this cat “not behaving as it should” is going to frustrate and cause friction. Doesn’t he often say- “We don’t need you to be that guy, we need you to be you”? That happens more in 2003, but I’m pretty sure it pops up in 2012 as well.

Meanwhile in Rise universe, Raph is just a Goodboi (who also is way too big and loves equally his hugs and his play fights), who has accepted and loves this very aggravating cat and will absolutely step in to keep it from getting killed, even when the cat in question was the one who started the fight.

Anyways, my thought in general on Rise TMNT is this is what they turn into when left too much to their own devises rather than growing up under Hamato clan discipline, and the “Cat Leo” theory is no exception. Leo doesn’t need to be leader, so he won’t. And will just enjoy being as smart as he is without putting in any work or attempt at humility. I know I shouldn’t, but much like most jerk faces cats I know… I kinda love him. 💙🐢🐱

Anyways… someone wanna draw me art for this?

Could you draw Mikey using his brothers as a jungle gym? They are all surfaces for his perching and climbing

What would Mikey and orange think about meeting a cardinal cat yokai? Like he tallll. Fangs and claws are pretty terrifying...

How do you think they’d name him? 🤔

Also! It was about a caracal cat of course, it was corrected in another ask! 🫶🏻

TMayNT day 1: Favorite Turtle

In a real sense all the guys are my favorite, but one of them hits the "lawful good dork doing their best to hold everything together for the people they love" archetype I love so much. Therefore, Leonardo is my favoritest.
