there's been a rise in appreciating '12 feral leo and i just want to say, you all have to get into idw right fucking now. the 2012 series was HUGELY inspired by early idw issues, taking many MANY elements from it. (like a lot. enough for '12 to be considered a kind of lowkey inconsistent idw adaptation) and i am telling you, as a certified hamato leonardo expert that his characterization in idw is just. INSANE. this is getting way longer than originally intended when i just wanted to show just how unhinged he is.
( just a few selected moments for a little taste i don't want to spoil anything for ppl who plan to read idw)
-
this. this one is just UP there in my "top leo moments across the tmntverse" like the entire thing. the build up to this moment in the entire chapter really helps with it, but like just these two single frames. how other than his lil bro everybody is losing their shit. the qoute??? talk about fucking RAW. like just look at this.
"sometimes a leader has to become the things he hates, to take care of the ones he loves." BANGER BANGER BANGER
this one is another favorite that unfortunately needs prior knowledge to make it really stick but just enjoy the absolute batshit, feral behavior of leonardo brutally making the bird mutant essentially flightless.
"get away from her. can't you hear? she's done."
"yeah. i think you're right." HELLO????
there are plenty more moments of hinged leo behavior in idw but just overall. he's sooo good in idw okay he's a great brother and really amps up the parent behavior and i may have talked about only him, but idw has great angst for donnie raph and mikey too (like. GREAT) flawless raph and mikey character building, a fresh reincarnation plot, MOM TANG SHEN, lowkey bad parent splinter, jenny and the foot leo plot everyone alr knows, interesting mutant characters, saki has a sexy kitsune wife, gods exists and idk man it's just an amazing tmnt run go read it. (and then come talk shit about the +100 chapters with me bc they mostly suck </3)

(image id: transfemme idw leo ‘Shin’ peeking around a corner with narrowed eyes. She’s wearing a kimono that is decorated with a pattern of pink Gladiolus flowers. The kimono has a blue trim that matches her mask. Her mask is decorated with the same flower pattern.)
you all know i cant resist THE ULTIMATE SUPREME BABYGIRL TOURNAMENT and as such, lemme introduce you to SHIN. Everyone please give her a round of a applause 👏 👏 👏
From idw, Shin named herself after her mother from a previous life, selecting a japanese name with a similar sound and loosely connected meaning (much to the irritation of her brother donnie, who doesn’t believe in any of the reincarnation bs)
do you love her because i love her, i mean come on look at her. this turtle has my entire heart

LEONARDO'S DIFFERENT VERSION DATING HCS ( PART 2 )
Warning : Yandere hints ¿??????? Idk
IDW comic's Leonardo ( This one might be much vague since i didn't read the next comics after Leonardo's stopped being mind controlled )
Depending on his mood he might be more open about PDA some days ( Special occasions , peace before / after war, etc ), but in general he likes to keep it simple in front of others and let himself go in private
Unless you already know or start training self defense he won't let you go on missions , he would try to convince April to persuade you to stay with her while they do their stuff
Tries to take you beautiful or aesthetic places , but more often than not you two will be interrupted , so to avoid that he started to give you more gifts and spend more quality time inside a safe place
He loves it when you compliment his appearance , but if you compliment his skills and wisdom ? OOF , this man would be all giggly and blushing like a school boy
Denial and silent jealousy , he would not communicate his thoughts and would try himself to stop thinking that way , but it only gets worse . Fortunately , when he's on the edge of exploiting he would try his best to talk with you about it
Even when he's on the foot clan he would still choosing you
He would probably kidnap you and force you marry him and keep obedience and loyalty towards him ( And if he was feeling threatened by certain someone close to you , he wouldn't doubt twice on hurting them bad enough to make them know who you belong to )
After it's all over he would apologize for his actions and spend more time with you than before
Although his jealousy might be transform into more straight to point , being a little sharp with his words but nothing extreme
LEONARDO 2003-2009 ANIMATED SERIE ( I haven't watched it in a long time too lol )
At first he would be shy with PDA , but as times passes by he would start to care and less about what other people has to say
Wich would leads to a shameless romantic Leonardo
The ego bust when you compliment him is insane , he might act all humble but he won't stop smiling proudly for your words
Quality time and service are his main love languages , but gifts with sentimental reasons behind them are also a good part of him too
Rarely gets jealous since he trust you with his heart , but that doesn't stop him from not liking a person at all for trying to hit you ( Worse if they know that they were dating someone )
He would act fake nice to the point it's way too obvious for everyone in the room that he's not content with their presence , and would act clueless if you said anything about it
10000000+ points if you're good with kids and eldest people , makes his heart go brrr for you
DARK CLONE LEONARDO ( TMNT 2003 - 2009 SERIES )
Ok so first to talk about this version I say that if you decide to keep being his friend you have to teach him a lot of stuff ( Maybe I'll add a HC )
Maybe you're a close friend of the turtles , maybe you're Leonardo's partner / ex
The thing is that you were just or more patient with him than his counterpart , making him reflex about his existence , morals , actions , everything
So he decides to stay on Earth and try to be like the other turtles , to give his " brothers " a better life far from their creator
So , after a long time of learning , communicating and spending time with you , he decides to date you so he can be finally your boyfriend ( You told him that mate is weirdly used to call a partner here , he asked why , but you avoided the question flawlessly lol )
That being said , he would be slow with PDA but once he learns all the types of affection , he would SHAMELESSLY french kiss you , talk about how good you were last night , hug you on the air , etc
Even he's more civilized than before , he would steal without care things that he knows you like or need ( Be careful with saying " Oh I wish I had money to buy x thing" he won't think twice on breaking the law if it means he'll get it for you )
Cuddling with him is cool until you wake up first but he don't , and he won't let go even in his sleep ( Might even pull you much closer like if he's trying to absorve you with his body )
Yes , he did learn the sharing importance , but with you ? Hell nah , he growls to anyone who is way too much confident with you , including his brothers , but specially humans and the og turtles ( Leonardo having it worse , he would probably get hurt more than once just for talking with you inconveniently alone )
If you talk with him about his jealousy he would try his best to not push you away , but don't expect it to happen soon or fade away completely
Your loyal servant at lifting heavy weights , helping you get something out of your reach , etc , but if you don't know how to fight or be just as strong as him , good luck on trying to go on a mission / train or put yourself at any danger
