favorite thing in 03 is when they have a shot of the turtles from a distance because they always look so so silly.

not a thought behind those eyes <3

Thinking about how Leo says he uses his jokes to cope and y’know, thinking harder on it I think it may very well be because of what else uses one-liners and puns and that type of humor.

Specifically, 80’s action movies and campy sci-fi. Even more specifically, the protagonists of these.

So I can imagine why, exactly, Leo leans toward this brand of humor. It’s directly linked to things he loves! But even more than that is why I think it’s used as a coping mechanism.

In these genres, these quips tend to be said by the winner - or, if not a winner, then someone who will stay alive. So there’s a confidence behind them, an assurance, almost, that even if things go wrong, things aren’t ever too serious. There’s no bad endings here! It’s all good fun, even if the stakes seem high.

Leo canonically has been known to steer his brothers away from the more brutal villains and toward more fun, lighthearted activities and not-so-dangerous criminals. So for Leo, these jokes definitely make things less heavy, make the situations they find themselves in less intense.

It’s kinda not just coping, but also can be seen as a form of escapism. A safety blanket. A way for Leo to defuse the tension of knowing just how dangerous their lives are and replace that with a levity which implies that things will be okay.

Unfortunately, levity alone does not alter reality.

Odd Leo Out 💙🐢

A little practice on drawing each Leo for the next comic X) don’t let the seriousness fool you they’re all sillies and will geek out about sci fi shows

obligatory turtle pile art

[Image Description: A digital illustration of Don, Mikey, Leo, and Raph from the TMNT 2003 cartoon. They all sleep in a turtle pile surrounded by pillows and blankets. Mikey and Leo are in the center, Leo’s arm around Mikey’s shoulder and Mikey’s arm stretched out over Leo’s stomach. Mikey sleeps open mouthed, while Leo looks relaxed and is smiling faintly. Don is curled up around Mikey’s side with his cheek resting on Leo’s arm. Raph is curled up around Leo’s back with an arm over his chest. Leo rests his head against Raph’s shoulder. A beam of light falls over their faces. End ID.]

Look at this turtle

Made Leo his trench coat

Just look at him!

Also, it’s hilarious how no one thinks anything of their green skin, lack of a nose, and three fingers when the turtles go out in disguise.

I swear, Ronin is the equivalent of "why are we here...? Just to suffer??" In the B.E.N.T. au while his other dimension brothers are causing chaos. Somehow, Ronin is still the youngest, but he also feels like the oldest wrangling a bunch of kindergarteners and trying to make sure they don't set the place on fire. That guy is a walking existential crisis

this is how it feels 24/7

forever subjected to little brother

2003 Mikey my beloved <3

He has knee braces (because I said so) and dark leg and arm wrappings (also because I said so) and freckles (guess what? Because I said so).

It took me a while to made this...

That is my very first try in making a graffiti! Even thpugh the process was very fun it was also exhausting because I was overthinking ALL THE TIME. I wanted to make pretty TMNT logo on a graffiti but also showing some details relatable to characters so it will look... alive? Like there's a meaning here? At the end of the day I'm pretty satisfied with result even thpugh it took me more than a week to make it.
