if i had to stop at only one headcanon about casey jr and future raph ever its that middle ground where casey did know him just when he was younger so the vibe is 

someone asks about future raph at some point and with ALL the same reverence of talking about greatest ninjas greatest inventors mystic masters amazing commanders and their big heroic battles etc etc casey is just like “he called me little snapper bc when i first met him i was like 3 and i tried to bite him. when i was 7 he looped a rope around his arm and stood there with it held out for hours so i could play on a swing. he was my best friend.”

#rottmnt #rottmnt raph #rottmnt casey jr #i just think theyre neat #idk that its my voted most likely headcanon at all #i feel like if they did s3 and explored it it would be that he didnt really know him and therefore didnt mourn him #and maybe it makes it easier to be around him sometimes bc all he knew were little stories and mentions etc #but i do love the idea that like for a while raph was just Resistances Best Uncle and he never lost his big soft heart or gentleness #and that his legacy after he was gone was one of love and kindness and protection #little moments and not so much epic heroic fights #(i mean im sure future leo and mikey and donnie and EVERYONE left legacies w casey that arent just Epic Future Stories) #(hero worship and fresh grief and trying to bolster them without being like oh ur dead the future SUCKS sucks aside) #but this post isnt abt them it is abt the raph angle #the rise raph legacy of he made it feel safe to laugh he made it feel like he could carry anyone through anything if they needed him
