The eye of the hurricane. I like to think Cassandra sometimes called the brothers by the nicknames their dad used, given they were probably pretty close before his passing.

BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT (SOON) MASTER POST

Man oh man, this one was way messier and off model than my last few updates but whatever, we got to keep this ball rolling! Life's been crazy so I've had to take some unwanted breaks in between updates. Thanks everyone for your patience as always!

One thing I wanted in this flashback was to really get a sense of how the brothers worked as an experienced team with Leo at the helm as a proper leader. It's something we never got to see much of in Rise and I felt it was important to include since half the team is already gone by the time of Replica. Team Dynamics Ted Talk under the cut!

We know from Casey Jr that Leo stressed the importance of listening to your team. A big part of that also means knowing how to communicate with them in general.

With Michelangelo, he keeps it short and succinct, trusting his brother to know what he's doing when in his element. This trust goes a long way with Mikey, having spent years of his youth as the baby striving for the respect he felt he deserved. Leo knows it's best to not bog Mikey down with details, allowing him to improvise as needed. This unspoken freedom has only grown over time as Mikey has dipped deeper into spiritual arts that, frankly, go completely over Leo's head.

The greatest sacrifice Leo has ever made was read Donnie's Big Book of Bad Guy Codes. While he doesn't remember ALL the numbers, he has memorized the ones that matter and it has helped tremendously in avoiding miscommunication with his genius brother. More importantly it silenced any of Donnie's usual belly-aching. As Leo's "twin"/"equal" the two still butt heads from time to time. Donnie respects his brother's authority (mostly) but will still push the boundaries of what he's allowed on a semi-regular basis. Give Donnie an inch and he will take the mile and then find a loop hole that allows him to go twenty miles more. This is partially due to him often being the one left behind at HQ, making the turtle just a TAD stir crazy. Leo does his best to keep him in line regardless.

Big brother Raph will forever and always be big brother to Leo. As such he holds a place of authority in Leo's heart and is someone he still regularly seeks counsel from in both the ways of leadership and more. Raph is always happy to support his younger brother and does a surprisingly good job (albeit after years of practice) of walking the line so as not to step on his brother's toes in the process. At least not since the secret of "the Key" blew up in their faces several years ago. They don't talk about that anymore. Leo is the leader now and he's done a great job in recent years as far as Raph is concerned. He trusts him to make the right call. The two have a close bond and regularly use mind meld to quickly communicate rather than speak ...this will be important to remember for the future.

Hope that overall feeling came through for this group!

I have been meaning to do a crossover with the one and only @kathaynesart for such a long time! And the @tmntaucompetition has created the perfect excuse for this :)

I think Sprout and Omega would have a surprising amount in common, they have a lot they can talk about with one another!

Apologies for the cliffhanger- haha- whoops-

Part 2? Of the crossover with Replica

Part 1 can be found here

It's five o'clock in the morning and I'm slowly losing my mind over the crossover with @kathaynesart

Don't think too long about how different Leo's facial expression looks depending on whether that child is looking at him or not

I wanted to write more interesting thoughts here, but words are not wording, so I'm going to bed. Essays on emotional layers can wait until morning, when I'll be smart again.

@somerandomdudelmao @kathaynesart it has been in my head all day and I couldn't help myself but I'm not sure if I even could do that ;-; Replica Casey is still a kid and I thought he might get a little jealous (like all children) in terms of his family and I'm pretty sure Cass Casey understands it Other thing that killed me is that first time both of your au met: Leo saw his Donnie in Cass Donnie. Cass Casey takes the most from uncle Tello so of course he might remind Replica Leo of his and Cass Donnie again...

@kathaynesart I couldn’t help but color this shot! Your line work is SO IMPRESSIVE! As line art is something I struggle with a lot, I love to find chances to practice coloring when trying to think of a piece to draw. NOT MY ART! Line art by Kat Haynes.

"How'd I get out??"

A massive crossover for the @tmntaucompetition with a bunch of iterations and aus we really like. Hopefully we can do more crossovers with ones we haven't yet. Also there's a bit of time between every interaction Raph has with someone, we weren't sure how to convey that :,D I really enjoyed making this and creating their interactions; I hope I got their personalities right! I'm very sorry, it's really long! The AUs & Iterations: The Eldest Brother by @debb987 & @kittynomore Bloodbath Bath by: @trubblegumm Snapdragon AU by: @bluesgras Sep!
