2012 Leo didn’t have friends

Truly think about it, did Leo actually have friends that he could call his own? Yes, he’s close with April, gets along with Casey, and respects Slash along with many other characters, but does he actually have a true friend(s)? Someone he can banter with and have a true connection and mutual bond with. And no, his dad does not count.

Compare Leo’s social life to his brothers:

Mikey has Ice Cream Kitty, Leatherhead, Mondo Gecko, Renet, Napoleon, and Sal Commander.

Donnie has April, Fugitoid, Metalhead, Dr Cluckingsworth, and Timothy.

Raph has Casey, Slash, Mona Lisa, Chompy and I’ll even count the rooftop pigeons.

Who does Leo got as friends? His sister and her witch girlfriend. That seems about it for him.

Leo when hanging out with Karai & Shinigami:

Joking aside, I feel Leo not really having his own friends really shows a lot regarding his character and how the roll of being leader and later on Sensai has effected his social life. Not to mention how the fandom can easily identify who each of the other Turtles best friends are, but for Leo we usually draw a blank.

Yes, Leo does have people close to him, I never will disregard his relationship with his brothers or April and Casey, but overall he never got that true special friendship connection that the others got in the series.

The closest we ever got to him having that genuine friendship was Chloe, the little girl he had a tea party with in season 2, and (maybe) Usagi later in season 5. But again, these were short lived dynamics we never get to see again.

It's a shame Raph and April didn't spend more time hanging out in the show tbh. I figure their dynamic would be something like this

That feeling when your anxiety is so bad, you literally can't eat anything

(Remember to eat pls, even small amount, but something. Be strong for those dear to you)

This is a sort of side comic to Crusade of a lonely turtle..I seriously forgot about it haha,

I was thinking that maybe I could draw some short side stories like this, that take place somewhere in the COALT universe, but don't really fit in the main storyline

Anyway, if it happens, I'll tag them as #coalt stories

I need the 2012 fandom to talk about Donnie's contact in April's Shellphone (i forgot what they're called sue me)

[redstringraven]

i could have spent more time on this. but i just needed to get it out there in the wild, so i can focus on other things. traximus, i love you so much, but there're reasons i don't put you on the Functioning Adult™ list.

Goodbye to peak Mickey Mouse cartoon.

Part 1 of Ace! April + Best friend Dynamics - Next? Some context: April isn't very confident about being around people in canon. She's weird and badass, and while we love that, she thinks she's got to 'be normal' to be liked, and make friends. It reminded me of the Ace Experience, and how that'd add another layer to the slow acceptance that is herself. Enter Donnie.
