My Personal Headcanon Is That Among The 2003 Turtles, Leo Ends Up Being The Shortest After His Brothers

My personal headcanon is that among the 2003 turtles, Leo ends up being the shortest after his brothers hit their growth spurts.

It makes it easy for the other turtles to just yeet him around, so they come up with a game around it. They have to sneak up on Leo(hardest part of the challenge), toss him into the water(second part, points based on the aim and landing spot), and then run away from him as long as possible after he chases after them (third, and scariest part). Everyone gets individual points based on their performance, but they’re allowed to cooperate, since the first two steps are pretty hard to manage alone.

Leo absolutely hates the game and beats them into oblivion everytime they do it.

does anybody else do this to their family or am i legitimately sick

a normal game of jenga

As much as I like the angst potential of f!Leo disliking his younger self, I feel like having raised trained Casey for years, Peepaw would be unable to fully hate him because he knows he’s just a kid. Leo in general is just the type of guy to have a soft spot for children I reckon :)

And come on, when Peepaw catches him throwing jokes constantly, he’d know what’s really going on in little Leo’s head.

Rise Leo: We should totally do this possibly illegal thing.

12 Leo: I don't know it might not be the best idea.....

Rise Leo: Come on we can burn a building or something! Let's go crazy for once!

12 Leo:.....Alright fuck it let's do it.

Rise Leo: YES-!!!

03 Leo: I'm gonna have to stop you both right there, crime is not something we do for fun guys.

Rise Leo: Uh it can be if we make it that way.

87 Leo: He's got a point. We should make it be a fun thing just this once.

03 Leo: Seriously guys this isn't-

12 Leo: Don't you ever get tired of being responsible?

Rise Leo: Aren't you tired of being nice all the time?

87 Leo: Don't you just wanna go completely fucking unhinged???

03 Leo: Well......

Rise Leo: Bro seriously come with us it's just one bad thing.

87 Leo: No one has to know.

12 Leo: It'll be our secret promise.

03 Leo:.........Fine let's go wreck some shit.
