#i am an older twin Leo truther

[asummersday]

Share some more ROTTMNT headcanons?

the hamatos have movie nights and board game nights. there’s no schedule for them, sometimes someone will go “movie night tonight?” or will text the gc “board games? i’m feeling some murder mystery tonight” and that’s how it goes. everyone participates. even splinter, and he complains but only to put on a show. he enjoys it. they play uno, clue, game of life, they play new and old games, play the ones they like more often, and throw out ones that suck. donnie has a spreadsheet for it (of course he does). mikey and splinter, surprisingly, are fucking RUTHLESS during monopoly. the wins are always tied between the two and that one time leo won by complete accident (thats what he says. donnie doesn't believe him ONE BIT because his twin is a lying liar who lies). everyone loves monopoly just because the chaos and the backstabbing is the most entertaining part.

mikey had a “copy everything donnie does/eat/likes” phase and leo had a “copy everything raph does/eat/likes” phase. (i am a firm ‘leo is the younger twin’ truther)

april an leo are face mask and skin care routine besties. she’s the reason he even KNOWS what both of these things are. she’s also the reason he even makes his dumb puns, because SHE makes them (and 9y/r leo was smack in the middle of his ‘copying his big bro’ phase. it extended to april, who basically became his big sister). donnie constantly tells her he still has not forgiven her for that (jokingly)

Lou Jitsu was ABSOLUTELY Sexiest Man Alive at one point i'll tell you that

donnie’s eye starts twitching when he’s annoyed (mostly when leo annoys him). it happens so often that it starts twitching when leo isn't even in the same room and donnie will go “leo's doing something stupid again”

leo doesn't fall asleep easily but when hes a sleep my mans ASLEEP. nothing can wake him up. hes usually a light sleeper but when he hasn't slept in 3+ days and passes out at 12:30pm on the couch? he's literally dead to the world. his brothers take FULL advantage of this. stacking food/objects? yes. drawing on his face/arms/legs etc? for sure. mikey paints his shell sometimes. he once painted all of starry night without leo waking up once.

raph is wary of cass when she first joins, but when they find how many interests they share, they become almost instant best friends. they're inseparable and hang out all the time its amazing. everyone is terrified of them because they've seen how violent their sparring sessions get.

mikey watched lilo and stitch when he was like 5 and instantly zeroed in on the whole ‘voodoo spoon’ thing and tries to do the same thing. his dad and raph are extremely concerned (and slightly off-put. mikey was a weird child)

when he was younger, he had a terrible case of separation anxiety. it gets better as he grows older, and then comes slamming back full force after the krang. if his brothers aren’t in his immediate sights, he will just. panic. it takes… too long for him to stop having panic attacks when he wakes up and one or two of his brothers aren’t present (especially leo. he latches onto leo the longest after. it takes nearly as long as leo’s recovery does for mikey to be able to sleep without leo in the same room)

splinter, the old sap, actually has hundreds of pictures of his boys growing up. so much that he has dozens of photo albums spanning the years. you can tell exactly when april shows up in their lives because one day she’s not there at all and the next its like he got a fifth kid. he loves leafing through them on occasion, reminiscing and definitely not crying. not all the albums survived the shredder, but enough did to still recount the years. after the invasion, splinter moves the albums from his room and into a shelf in the living room. (hes caught his kids more than once poring over the books, either alone or huddled together on the floor. he always leaves, allowing them this moment alone.)

#i have so many of these its actually insane #i have MORE btw #i cant see how many pages it is since its on scrivener but its well over 2k lmaoo #this show just makes me foaming at the mouth feral #i have a doc for each individual character and one for the whole fam #rottmnt #summer post #headcanons #my writing #i use some of my headcanons in my writing but like quietly? #like the mikey is clingy post krang was brought up briefly in hollow mind #rise of the tmnt #tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise donnie #rise leo #rise raph #rise mikey #rise casey #rise splinter #rise april #ask

Hi! I love all your stories, they’re all interesting and diverse 😊 my favorites are the 2012 fusions and the co-created Mystic Forest (a thanks for Wondrous as well!), any new chapter is enough to brighten my day

Feel free to not answer but do you have any favorite duo sibling portrayal from the animated series?

For example, in my case, my favorite Leo and Raph dynamic is the 2012 series because they feel the most like best friends, brothers and rivals.

For Raph and Donnie is from the 2003, nothing says more “I love you, brother” than gifting a motorcycle xD and because in this one Raph seems the most patient/nice with Donnie.

Mikey and Donnie is a difficult one because all series have good moments for them. It’s certainly a well-used duo dynamic, but I may go with Rise, I blame the movie hahaha

For Raph and Mikey the 2003 or 2012 are the best for me, and maybe I will enjoy more the one from the 2012 series just because is my favorite TMNT animated series. In Rise the two-year gap was its downfall as I think Raph babies Mikey a little too much.

Leo and Donnie feels like a wasted potential in the 2003 and 2012 series. They are the planners of the team, it’s been shown that Leo depends a lot on Donnie’s ideas/knowledge and listens to him probably the most, and Donnie looks up to Leo to always have a plan and get them out of trouble, so in terms of “team” the dynamic is excellent, but we are missing some wholesome brotherly moments with just the two of them. I wouldn’t say Rise follows the same “formula” as the other two series, Leo and Donnie feel more competitive in this portrayal, but they are still the smartest/thinkers of the brothers, and they just make me laugh when they are together so a point for them!  

Finally, Leo and Mikey… is a tie xD hahahaha the Battle Nexus rematch, missions with just the two of them (Baxter Stockboy, capture a brain worm, Nobody, etc.), older sibling-younger sibling dynamic, how Mikey lightens up Leo’s mood and Mikey looks up to Leo is just so… wholesome.

This became a little bit longer from what I wanted hehe I would love to hear/read your thoughts if you have any 😊 (Sidenote, no 87 series as I still haven’t seen it complete yet, is a work in progress)

Have a nice day!

Oh god I love all of them so much that I could go off on every single iteration with every single iteration's matchups.

I am a 2003 Don and Raph twins truther. They needed more stuff together. In Rise as well, honestly, they needed more episodes together.

Mkey and Leo are always so good. Mikey always looking up to Leo like he's a hero and Leo always wanting to keep Mikey his happy lil self while still pushing him to do his best and more. I could do a whole essay on Leo and Mikey's relationship in 2003 honestly.

I need to tell you guys about my brother-role-switching headcanon for 2003...
