So the Red-eared slider fluttering thing they do with their fingertips is generally seen as an affectionate thing they do right?

What I’m trying to say is whenever his brothers are feeling sad/guilty about something they did or something that happened that targeted/mainly affected Leo, Leo will go to whichever sibling is feeling said way, grab their face and cup it in his hands and gently tap his fingers against their cheeks to remind them that he loves them/show them he doesn’t hold it against them.

He’ll also just go up to them and do it randomly, especially if one of them is just feeling down in general because he knows it makes them laugh.

Yes, he’s done it to splinter too, but only when he was a baby. Splinter would be holding him and baby Leo would just gently grab his snout with his tiny baby hands and flutter his fingers. Splinter never thought much of it until Leo was a little older and he decided to look into it and realized it was a common trait among Leos species

Edit: when Leo is feeling sad/down the others will go and do the fluttering thing to him. Leo loves it and it always cheers him up because it shows that they pay attention to him and who he is, along with his personality traits. The first time one of them did it to him it made him so happy he started crying.

EW Leo’s sense of humor may be rare, but it’s bad when it does show up

Ones hands can tell the story of how they’ve lived… and how far they have come.

I’m a sucker for Good Dad Splinter ever since I watched TMNT ‘03. That rat was gifted sapience and his immediate instinct was kindness. I love that for him.

Rise Splinter lived a rollercoaster of a life, but as a Hollywood star he remembered the names of all his stunt guys and coworkers, and as a prisoner he cared for the rat that shared his cell. His sons are very close and physically affectionate, I think that says something about how he cares? That’s just how I like to headcanon him :)

It’s interesting to explore the idea that a seemingly monstrous transformation is what pushed him to be a kinder human

So problematic, but so beloved😔❤️‍🩹

And some more sketches

I know that if she hadn't kidnapped him, there would be no story as we know it, but I wonder how their fate would have turned out if they had stayed together🥺

It’s a good thing that the boys had cute little button eyes when they were babies, because imagine if they had big ol eyes instead, like

Considering Donnie in the Seperated AU literally had NO friends for the first several years of his life (no his dad does NOT count!!) it prompted Donnie to start developing Shelldon way earlier on out of the desire to have a friend. Even after meeting and befriending April, he still spends most of his days being quite lonely considering she'd be busy with school and stuff. Shelldon was a way to combat that loneliness. But considering the fact that Donnie wouldn't have had nearly as much experience with tech when starting on Shelldon's development, he started out as a very rudimentary AI only able to produce a few simple responses. (Donnie having basically no stanards for what social interactions should be like was not at all bothered by this lol) Over the years however, as Donnie's skillset grew Shelldon would become more and more complex, so at the time where the main story takes place Shelldon Hamato is for all intents and purposes a real person and not just a mere machine.

Also I drew him with his Metalhead-inspired design cuz uhhhh cuz I wanna
