been having many thoughts about my child. i did a little section for tidbits in his intro but i decided to add onto it because no thoughts just the red ear slider turtle boy. 
added inspo figured out. more to come most likely but this is what i’ve got so far !   dick grayson ( dc ) , kendall knight ( big time rush ) , lance mcclain ( voltron: legendary defender ) , sokka ( avatar the last airbender ) , peter parker ( spiderman comics )
> PREVIOUS HEADCANONS.
he gave himself his middle name. leo likes space and space media. he felt naming himself after jim kirk would be a cool move.
he has vitiligo around his eyes in the same pattern red-eared slider turtles do. would be in the same place the red is here. 
he is gay !! but he doesn’t know it yet … it’s a little self discovery journey he’ll have here in elias. 
he doesn’t know when his actual birthday is. splinter just assigned them random days.
he does have medical trauma from his days of being experimented on. he just blocks it out really well. the fact that he’s the medic of the gang is ironic. he can help others with ease but the moment someone tries to help him in that sense or he’s taken to a doctors office he freaks out.
the turtle transformation is painful so now leo will only transform if he absolutely has to … or if he needs to win a dance competition or something because he’ll do whatever it takes to win. 
he loves glam rock. if he could have background music when he fights rock you like a hurricane would be playing thank you !!
> NEW HEADCANONS.
thunderstorm enthusiasts. 
has heterochromia ( blue and brown ) from mutations. when in turtle form his eyes turn blue. in turtle form his red slider marking are in fact red and not pigmentations. this translates to lorena as well. 
theatre kid. ( derogatory ). will take karaoke night very seriously and can sing very well. ( x )
as a kid he was afraid of donnie’s softshell getting seriously injured, so he started researching how to heal softshell injuries along the way he decided to learn more medical stuff just in case. 
banned from asking splinter questions about their origins after leo asked an innocent question that revealed splinter didn’t actually know how old they were. 
speaking of his actual birthday is august 14th. leo is indeed a leo. 
cannot do math for the life of him.
 got scolded a lot more than the others as a kid; it’s why he’s so hard on himself and doesn’t take criticism lightly.
has really great taste in men visually but literally always misses the glaring red flags.
has an extremely flirty personality but when speaking to someone he actually finds attractive my man has no game. cannot pull whatsoever. his brothers are better at flirting at he hates it thanks !
called people ‘babe’ ironically at first, but now he can’t stop.
he sunbathes and tries to convince the others to come with him 
ate a frog for $5 once. purposely freaked mikey out with it. 
he likes nonverbal communication a lot and prefers it when he’s in a mood 
when it gets super cold he and donnie bundle up for what donnie calls “The Brumation Period” and leo calls “The Super Nap” and they just sleep on the couch together for like three straight days
once asked mikey to doodle on him when they were younger and kept his favorite drawing in his pocket once he found out what a tattoo was and plans to get it .. you know when he’s a real person in the eyes of big brother.
would never admit it but watching horror movies gives him nightmares sometimes and he has to hang in raphs room when he can’t sleep. whenever he can’t sleep you can find him in raph’s room tbh. he feels safer in there because he knows raph will keep him safe.
leo has a little bag filled with medical supplies. takes his role as the group’s medic seriously. 
insomnia due to mutation complications. his slider sleeping requirement and human sleeping requirements did not mesh too well. 
fluent in spanish and has spanish nicknames / pet names for literally everyone. 
tw. child experimentation: he and donnie are ‘twins’, loving dubbed the disaster twins. when they were being experimented on the two shared a cage. experiencing the trauma they did together left them ridiculously co-dependant. one is never seen without the other. it might be a problem but it’s a problem they don’t want to address. 
has a small fear of heights after he got dropped from a roof. he almost died and didn’t realize he was in actual danger until raph yelled at him. 
listens to 2000s pop RELIGIOUSLY. britney spears, katy perry, rihanna, kesha, miley cyrus, etc, etc, etc.
big fan of magic. he’s tried to impress his brothers by showing them a few magic tricks. he actually works very hard so they’ll think he’s cool.
he’s a biter. he bites people affectionately, not hard but just a little chomp. he didn’t a lot when he was younger now not as much. maybe when he’s feeling really affectionate. 
does not believe in ghosts. will listen to his brother’s ramblings ( if they believe ) but always reminds them that ghosts aren’t real. 
he’s the fastest of his siblings. he’s mastered keeping his movements light and quick. he might not have the fastest reaction time out of all his siblings but he’s the first one to catch a baseball if you threw one a the group. leo might not be able to deliver hard hits like his brothers can, but he makes up for it by using his speed, portals and a plan to get the upper hand in a fight. 
he’s not a hard hitter so much as he manipulates objects to hit hard for him, usually with the help of his portals. 
he can easily adapt in a fight. he may not expect the unexpected but he can work with it and play it off thanks to his confidence. he can be so caught up in himself and his goals to win. whatever he’s doing that he ends up with tunnel vision in the middle of a battle. 
leo has a win at all costs attitude when fighting. he will do whatever it takes to come out the other side with bragging rights, whether he’s earned those rights or not. 
humor is his coping mechanism. he used to make the others laugh when they were younger and being experimented on to try to cheer them up or distract them. if he’s laughing whatever's happening can’t be that bad or it won’t feel as real if he doesn’t acknowledge it. so he refuses to take situations seriously. leo also jokes to overcompensate for his insecurities, a fear of being average, and his perfectionism. knowing that helps you see that he does the same thing while fighting.
great strategist. he might not always be the one that makes a plan but he’s usually the one to bring ideas into action. 
he can be just as intelligent as donnie but he’s street smart instead of book smart. 
he feels like he’s nothing without his brothers because of that, he sometimes shows off as much as possible in a fight in order to earn glory and praise that could separate him from any other fighter. 
he doesn’t think he’s a good leader and does everything in his power to prove to his brothers that he isn’t a good leader. lot of self sabotage in hope raph will be leader again. 
very self-sacrificing. is willing to put himself in danger for the safety and well being of others. it’s not that he wants to die but leo’s very careless with his life. if he dies he dies. it goes back into leo thinking he needs his brothers more than they need him so he’s willing to throw himself into the line of fire if it means they get a chance at survival. he feels most people in his life don’t need him as much as he needs them. he took the whole it’s not about me thing a little too literally 
he never screams whenever he wakes up from a nightmare, so it’s difficult for someone to tell he’s even having one. before he wakes up, he just curls into himself, clutches his blankets close, and wakes up sweaty and shaking. even after awhile they never fully go away. 
in the future he loses his right arm while saving donnie. ( let’s give it up for the self-sacrificing baby !! ) once donnie was done being pissed at leo for almost dying ( let’s be honest they were all upset with him ), his brother joked it was karma for when donnie saved leo from shredder during the fight that sent them to elias. leo yelled at him for at least an hour saying he got to keep his arm. 
took literal months to convince him to go to therapy because ‘what if the healthy coping mechanisms make me lose my swag’ after a while he talks to his therapist like they’re his best friend. strolls in like he owns the place sunglasses and all.
harbors a lot of resentment towards his younger self. it fucks him up on the daily when lorena acts exactly like how he did when she was his age. he has to constantly remind himself that they’re two different people and lorena is not him, well, not fully. she’s her own person and deserves to be. 
when it came to saving aerwyn, leo was absolutely ready to take her in because he saw himself in her in that moment. had splinter not taken in him and his brothers, leo knows they would have been used for evil. their lives would have been worse than what they were already given which was pretty damn rough. the thought of the little girl falling into that kind of trap solidified her being adopted.
he becomes the leo we know from most other iterations, the mature traditional leader, in the future. he’s a little stricter in the future but mostly when it comes to training the next generation of hamatos. honestly the tired old man who’s a father / uncle figure to too many kids. if you’re wondering yeah, master leonardo has gray hairs and he does indeed dye it. refuses to gray first he’s too hot for this.

favorite movie?
Hmmmmm. Tough one. I'm one of those indecisive assholes who never has just one favorite, so....
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron: You all may be surprised to know that I had a horse-girl phase as a kid, but only for this one specific movie. This was one of my favs as a kid and I think it still holds up today.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: For Obvious reasons. Those movies are just amazing.
Literally anything made by Cartoon Saloon ever (Song of the Sea and Wolfwalkers being chief amongst them atm). They're so pretty and the soundtracks always slap. I still need to actually watch Secret of the Kells and Breadwinner, but I'm certain they're just as amazing.
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (The Movie): Obviously for Teetle Brain Rot related reasons. Also just genuinely a good movie.
How To Train Your Dragon (One & Two): Horse-Girl Phase 2 But Dragons This Time. Toothless is just the best. Enough said.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Literally my favorite comic movie ever and I am hyped for the sequel.
Shrek (One & Two): It should be quite obvious why these are on my favorites list.
Honorable Mentions:
The Incredibles: Another fav from my childhood and the sequel wasn't too shabby either. It's just a very good movie.
Over the Moon: A recent movie from an independent studio. I usually am not the kind of person that cries during movies, but this one nearly got me not once, not twice, but three times.
Wonder Woman (2018): My formal gay awakening. You cannot watch Diana being a straight-up badass the entire time and not feel something.
Everything by Studio Ghibli (Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, The Secret Life of Arrietty, and Nausica & The Valley of the Winds being chief amongst them for me)
The Kung Fu Panda Trilogy: Another obvious one. They're just good.
Home Alone: As evidenced by Marv and Henry appearing in CiM. I just enjoy watching a lil guy commit war crimes against two dumb-ass burglars. Also they have an uncanny ability to kidney punch you in the feels when you least expect it in the form of sad lil old people Kevin meets.
