His bones may be broken, but his heart? So light

Can you tell ive been listening to this ost
My happy bois 🥺💙💜
Also they’re probably spinning fast enough to launch each other as teenage boys do.
Question is, who’s going to be the one flying 😆?

I think Leo deserves to have a genuine smile. As a treat
He needs this. I think honestly we all do 🥺💙💔❤️🩹🙌🏼


I am not immune to Future!Leo angst.

Me wanting to workout for reasons like this like…
Seriously tho, this totally fits the vibe I get from Casey, and I want to be like this. “But who’s going to carry you?” W E A K 😖🙌🏼🤌🏼🧡✨







Of course “turtles are strong” and “can hold Casey like an orange”
Okay yep mhm
Who’s going to hold them?
———————
To be continued? Idk, maybe xD
*openly weeps*
Guys…they did it. They finally did it. They had the talk. They had the hug.
I’ve been waiting for so long 🫢😖🤧😭🙌🏼💙🧡✨

"You're not a bad person-- you're young. And you're doing your best"
read the latest chapter of T&E this morning... it's gotta be my fav future Leo fic
under the cut: a glitch with the background that I thought looked cool as well

*switches between crying and laughing like the ToTaLlY sane individual I am*
This is fine. I’m fine. He’s fine. They’re fine. EvErYtHiNg Is GoInG tO bE oK!
*my friends @anobodyinabog, @saspas-corner and @holydoncakes walk in and look at each in surprise*
“Is…is she gonna be ok?”
“She’s fine. Just a dramatic lil bleeding heart. Let her get it all out.”
“*amused chuckle* She’s like this what? Every two weeks? I’ll go get the weighted blanket and goldfish.”
*me still having an emotional break down in the back* “GUYS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! THEY HUGGED!”



Hello hello!! I come forth with more art for the recent chapter drop for @apatheticrobots 's Trial and error!! <3 This time it's a heavy one since the previous chapter's cliffhanger... And by far my favorite, here are three separate scenes that stood out for me personally ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_
Be sure to check out the fic, and dont forget to leave a kudos and a kind comment as always~ have a good one!
Sal and i were giggling abt how everyone overlooked how fleo treated his respective leo compared to the other versions... Little did they know



Old habits die hard ig ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_

Second @saspas-corner, @holydoncakes @anobodyinabog *bear poses* If you didn’t want to be assimilated into my found family, you should have ran when you had the chance 😏😈😎
I have no context for this
*vibrates at a frequency that could shatter* I love this with every fiber of my entire being 🧡💙
The dynamic in Rise between the rest of the team and Leo is. so fucking funny. Because like you've got these three extremely talented individuals who all seem like perfectly reasonable people at first glance, right, but then if you squint hard enough you realize they're actually all batshit insane (affectionate) and the clown boy standing behind them is secretly their common sense.
Clown boy will occasionally put himself and the others in danger to Prove Himself or Prove Someone Wrong (see Minotaur Maze and the movie) but like otherwise... i think people forget Leo's overwhelmingly the voice of reason in most situations?





Raph, Mikey, and Donnie are all incredibly powerful boys with very specific skill sets. They are also, as a direct result of this, the WORST decision-makers on god's green earth lmao. When presented with a problem, Raph will smash, Donnie will blow shit up, and Mikey will razzmatazz. They will all run straight toward death with the same oblivious enthusiasm of a dog about to run straight into a screen door. None of them realize this and all of them think they are Extremely Good At Problem-Solving.
And the only guy cursed with the common sense to realize this is literally the LAST person anyone would expect.
When you look closely, the entirety of Rise is actually a chronicle of Leo trying to find new and creative ways to keep this team of superpowered fools alive while simultaneously white-knuckling his Cool Fun Guy persona so the others don't realize he's secretly the Boring Responsible One. Haha, you know what would be Cool and Fun, guys? Not going after the Spine Breaking Bandit lol. Getting home before the sun goes up lol. Evacuating that civilian lol. Not telling the guy dangling me off a roof "you won't, no balls" lol.
The sacred struggle of every iteration of Leonardo is thanklessly wrangling the most trigger-happy siblings in the world, and Rise Leo has not escaped it. He just does an occasional shenanigan to avoid detection and his brothers fall for it every time.
*slams hand down on the repost bottom with a wild gleam in my eye* I will reblog healthy hard conversations till the day I die and YOU CANT STOP ME







Ep. 2. "The calm before the storm" Previous episode Masterpost So, here is the starting point... Raph got angry at first… But Leo drove himself as hard as he could, so even moralizing was not needed here



Anyone gonna mention that here thanks to the beautiful (aNd InCreDibLy PaInFuL) work of @somerandomdudelmao that we see THE Donnie, who is known to be touch adverse most of the time, is so scared, hurt, frustrated, lonely (what other Donnified adjective that fits) is not only actively ReAcHiNg, but using whatever little strength he has to get to Casey, to HOLD him as fast as he can.
Anyone? Or is that just me?
(All artwork belongs to the incredibly talented @somerandomdudelmao)
Oh my gosh why do y'all have to make him so pretty and epic like 🤯🤩
THIS IS ART AND YOU SHALL BEHOLD IT!

Woaoaoaoa Sword Peepaw 🗡️🐢
Grayscale version!

Y’all….I’m legit sobbing right now. I’m just casually reading this on my deck outside and this post hit me so hard that I dropped my phone and started crying.
THIS is the entire message of TMNT in a nutshell. This is why I FRIGGIN adore this show, this fandom. They’re brothers your honor. Brothers.
We all have our unique gifts, but at the end of the day we’re not alone. We have all have family, whether blood or by choice. We’re NEVER alone.

Thank you @somerandomdudelmao for showing this and doing so in a way that is heartbreakingly beautiful. I’ve never been so shook by someone’s art and story in a way that this has shattered me (in the best possible way)










Part 12!
Okay. A little insight. I originally wanted to do two separate episodes for Leo and Mikey.
And at the end of his episode, Leo would die alone in the middle of the wasteland. Dramatic, angsty, all that yeah
But then I thought about it many, many more times. Leo was essentially never alone. I used to think of him as such a... kind of... somewhat abandoned and lonely character?, because I've read so many fanfics about him traveling back in time.
But canon Leo was never completely alone. Mikey was there, Mikey was with him until the very end. Mikey and him went all the way to the inevitable defeat together.
This wasn't just Leo who lost everything. It was them. Both of them. Together.
This comic really does things to my brain.

Colored clothes ref
Coolest fucking animation
*vibrates at the frequency that could shatter glass*
yOu haVe No IdEa HoW mUcH tHiS mEaNs tO Me
Leo being an angry protective is everything 🥺🫢💜💙
wippppp I will do it clearly later it's jussst aAAaaaaq[osoao *morning screaming* Okay, I did cry at Raph and Mikey's reunion, I repeat, I will die at twins reunion I MEAN YES I KNOW YOU'VE READ IT That Donnie's holding Leo in a mug and don't let anyone else hold it for one particular reason This one is like one big "I'll beat out all your bad thoughts, you won't stay here, no more bad dreams" AAA{{{{SPPSWP I just more and more understand how this song fits for them both: Donnie blames himself that he wasn't enough, he didn't do enough, "he gave them hell"; but Leo "gave them hell" because Donnie was more than any of them could wish of
People are legit talented, this is art and I’m obsessed with colors and beats 😆🙌🏼
This awesome animation is made by @tapakah0
AU made by somerandomdudelmao
FLASHING LIGHTS!
This is 100% me, and I’m not even joking 😆🙌🏼


















Donnie being the Chaotic Neutral gremlin of an Uncle I believe he would be. This took me almost 3 weeks to finish, but I did it! And yes, I did quote Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls because that is the type of energy I feel bad future Donnie would have a lot of the time, lol. It was supposed to end with just seeing the results of the children related disaster, but the idea of Donnie not realizing he actually is supposed to be the authority figure for the kids is hilarious to me.
I’m not crying you are 🥹🧡❤️💜💙
@somerandomdudelmao... Lately I just don't have words, I just smile constantly... They did it... Song: Bastille - Pompeii
this…I-I…*covers face with hands and tries not to cry*
THIS please please I’m begging you

"If you see the boy I used to be,
Could you show him a little kindness?"
I'm so normal about Anson Seabra. Was gonna make an animatic but it just didn't feel right, so y'all get this instead.

Ok so like my friend told me that something is considered good because it moves you. Well friends…*deep deep inhale* I’ve been FrIcKeN moved by this entire comic.
Like this is just so rawly human?! And I am literally transported into this world through perspective (Empath skillz is that you?) It hurts in a good way because I literally feel like I’m there and all the characters are so in character?!
I’m just sitting in my car trying to figure out the words to express my awe at this level of skill and talent, but once again words fail me so
@2aceofspades please take my humble keyboard smash to show my appreciation for you blessing my eyes with this today. *clears throat* sudbwudhevwodbdhsixnrjekznfjslsmdbe😭🙌🏼🤧
Y’all please read dis. It’s that good.
