I have a thought. You mentioned in an earlier analysis post that Raph is the kind of guy who doesn't like interpersonal conflict and feels awkward around it. I think that I want to push back on that a bit, because its hinted that he and Leo argue a decent amount--and then especially in the movie there's a chunk of time dedicated to him and Leo arguing about responsibility--to the point where he seems to lose control, attempts to physically attack Leo and Splinter is the one who needs to stop them. (Bonus for Mikey looking disappointed in his dad for the way he handled the argument the entire scene but never saying anything to him about it). So I am thinking that when Raph believes his family could be in serious danger or actually hurt he kind of overrides that whole anxiety about conflict in the family to just...do a more classic Raph move of confronting and fighting it out rather than arguing. No?
Very good points!
Clashing with Leo about responsibility is definitely a big button, and even beyond that Raph is not afraid of similar types of confrontation. He's willing to go to bat for April by "having a friendly word" with her upstairs neighbor knocking down her ceiling fan constantly. He calls Leo out on his showboating multiple times, from The Minotaur Maze to the movie. He confronts Donnie about his addiction in the Purple Game and chews out all his brothers in Pizza Puffs when they eat poison.
So yeah, he does a lot of confronting. Perhaps conflict-averse isn't the right term. Perhaps the main difference centers around whose feelings are getting hurt, and whether or not that hurt is necessary for the greater good.
Raph strikes me as the type of Mom Friend who will go punch a landlord for being unfair to someone but struggles to tell the waiter that he got the wrong order.
In any case, it is the mark of a well-rounded character that they won't behave the exact same way in a scenario 100% of the time. There's nuance in every case. If Leo is not being receptive to talk (and, on top of that, making the situation worse by riling Raph up) then yeah, it will come to blows. If April's stomping upstairs neighbor turned out to be a, idk, a deaf child who had no idea they were making that much noise, he probably would have rolled over instantly. If Donnie had started crying or something about The Purple Game it probably would have made it harder for Raph to maintain the strength to get through to him. Heck, if Bullhop was compromising their safety or being a danger to his brothers while living in the lair, Raph probably would have thrown him out himself. As it was, a delicate conversation just needed to happen, and so Mikey and Leo were the ones to do it (and Raph still punted at the end of the episode after Bullhop helps them that he can stay, even if he clearly doesn't relish the idea).
So yeah, the degree of the conflict is definitely something to be considered. Raph is a complex person like the rest of us and it can be easy for that to get lost amongst fandom tropes and character boxes. Thank you for your ask and analysis!

The movie Wicked is proof that any source material can be vastly improved by simply making the intense female friendship much gayer + the mutual male love interest both wildly bisexual and lowkey down to just be their third
#i can’t believe they improved Fiyero’s character so much just by making him intensely into both women at the same time asdakdga#Elphaba: *screaming at people*#Glinda: yeah baby you tell em! my girlfriend is gonna kick your ass!#Fiyero: god I’m so fucking turned on right now why am I so turned on by this#ideal dynamic tbh#i have other much more meaningful thoughts on this movie but this was so funny I had to post it#It was a very very good movie ngl#wicked#wicked movie

I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.
Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.
just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?

More guard dog/attack dog dynamicsss......
Character A who has B wrapped around their finger and thinks they're completely in control of their precious loyal partner x Character B who is way more powerful and aware than A thinks and A only controls B because B lets them but B definitely gets off on that fact
#bonus points if A thinks B is helpless without them and B is like “yeahhh I'm totally helpless ☺️☺️” while being ruthless as hell#this goes hard for like... villain x henchman#my art#doodles#ship dynamics#shipping dynamics#shipping#character dynamics

#cassandra cain#duke thomas#damian wayne#I'M A BIT BITTER. CAN YOU TELL#robin war and gates of gotham you will always be famous#this is sick... damian and cass having ongoings and STILL not interacting ever#duke should be a supporting character in damian AND cass' ongoings. bouncing back and forth between his two fav siblings#remember that really interesting dynamic where cass made damian insecure. remember when duke and damian went to the movies#if you've forgotten don't worry so has dc#sick and twisted that this has happened to damian so many times 😭 like they didn't even keep his relationship to steph#who do i need to bribe to get duke into damian and cass' ongoings...

Sometimes...characters being in a romantic relationship is worse.
#text#sometimes it's the most boring way to have characters interact#sometimes it's worse than the chemistry they have as literally any other kind of relationship#sometimes their platonic dynamic is better#sometimes their hostile dynamic is better#sometimes their dynamic is better if it's anything other than romance#because maybe them falling into generic romance is how you ruin their characters.#aro#aromantic#aroace#i only tag these because it feels relevant to why i feel this way

i'm such a slut for when a character is morally evil, but worshipped by another character as a deity of some sort. like i love me an absolute freak who doesn't really see the value in human life at all, and there's another, more masochistic freak, jerking off to their aura of inhumanity. a real two-hit combo of "whatever's wrong with this guy is clearly incredibly appealing to this other guy"
#u already know#gonna tag every character involved in either side of this dynamic#yumeko jabami#kirari momobami#midari ikishima#orochimaru#kabuto yakushi#deidara#itachi uchiha
