@slady-ao3 Yeah, exactly! I think that’s what makes the moment so memorable—Leonardo’s usually the last turtle you’d expect to kill without hesitation.

Incorrect Canon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Quotes

Casey: [looking anxiously at the crates, where a distinct snapping noise was heard] Did you just... kill him?

Leonardo: Of course not! That would be inhumane. [He stands proudly, gesturing to the unconscious goon behind the crates.] l popped his medulla oblongata, paralyzing him for life. He can still breathe and feel Purple Dragon sadness.

Casey: [scratches his head, looking confused] ...I don't see how that's any better.

Context: During season four of the 2003 iteration of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Leonardo drags a Purple Dragon goon behind some crates, where a distinct snapping noise is heard. This made a lot of fans theorize he actually snapped his neck, killing him. Video below:

Hello everyone!

I am so excited to share my first work in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom with you! While I am a huge fan of the 2003 iteration, I have chosen to set this story in the 2012 iteration, as it fits best with the storyline I have envisioned. But do not worry—if you enjoy this, I will be posting a story set in the 2003 universe later on, so stay tuned!

This story is a loose adaptation of the City Fall arc from the IDW comics, tailored to fit the 2012 cartoon's setting. Here is the link and summary:

Title: Little Dark Age

Summary: After a devastating defeat by the Shredder during the Kraang invasion, Leonardo is captured and subjected to the dark machinations of the witch Kitsune. Bewitched and scarred, Leonardo is made to believe that the Hamato Clan is the architect of his suffering, convinced they are responsible for years of psychological and physical abuse. When Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo return to New York, they are horrified to find their presumed-dead brother now a vengeful and far more powerful adversary as the chunin of the Foot Clan.

Random Person: “Do you still think that Leonardo and Usagi should have gotten a rematch in the Battle Nexus considering one was poisoned mid-match?”

Me:

This is exactly the kind of ridiculousness I would expect turtle-tot Leonardo to come up with.

I am in the middle of rewatching the 2003 version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles during my summer break from college, this time with my father, who had only seen bits and pieces of it when I watched it as a child. We are currently on season four, which fans often refer to as the "post-traumatic stress disorder arc" for Leonardo, as it depicts his mental deterioration and increasing anger, even surpassing that of his notoriously hot-headed brother.

While doing the dishes, I asked my father what he thought of the arc so far. He simply said, "He seems angry." I agreed, replying, "Yeah, he's angry at himself." My father responded, "Yeah, but he's also angry at his brothers." This made me pause. I knew Leonardo had moments where he was upset with his brothers for not training enough or for goofing off, but I had not thought of him as being outright angry with them.

Then my father elaborated, "He's angry because they're not perfect, like he expects himself to be." This was a revelation for me. I had always interpreted this arc as Leonardo being angry at himself for not being good enough, but it makes a lot of sense that if he holds himself to such a high standard, he would hold his brothers to the same—and get frustrated and angry when they inevitably do not meet it.

I think a less explored aspect of this arc is that Leonardo is exhausted from carrying the burden alone and was trying to share it with his brothers. However, they do not carry it the same way he does, which does not make them lesser—it just makes them young and still wanting a life outside of crime fighting. Michelangelo captures this sentiment best in the same season when he says,”I think all of you should just lay off the poor guy. I mean, it can't be fun. Always being the responsible one, and we’re the ones who really benefit. Raph's free not to think cause Leo does all the thinking for him, Don's free to dream, And I'm free to take it easy, all cause Leonardo is busy being responsible enough for all of us.”

Anyway, at the ripe age of twenty-two and in graduate school, I find myself once again feeling melancholic over little green guys.

Bro really said (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

I really feel like Leonardo from the 2003 iteration of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, especially during his Christian Bale Batman era, was the most likely to do this diabolical double-knee drop to an unsuspecting Purple Dragon or Foot Clan member:

Mainly because Leonardo was known the most, especially in this iteration, for making the most cunty yet graceful moves in combat.

And now I desperately need fan-art and head-canons of this.

[he’s saying something really dumb]

my entire world is just these 4

Behold my turtle's ships!!

I put my best friend in here...

Well, i put his sona

i did the thing

but also-

my true comfort characters lol

Возможно, я осилю серию артов. Ещё одна серия взаимодействия ОС с черепашками

Perhaps I'll axe the art series. Another series of OC interactions

Это должен был быть набросок. Но я увлёкся и на набросок это уже не похоже.

It was supposed to be a sketch. But I got carried away and it doesn't look like a sketch anymore.

Чаепитие с Сплинтером | Tea with Splinter

Я откусил себе кусок свободного времени, что бы рисовать. Правда я изначально сел рисовать совсем другое, но черепашки быстро выбили из моей головы всех, кто там был

I took a bite out of my free time to paint. I was originally going to paint something else, but the turtles quickly knocked everyone else out of my head who was there

Я решил попробовать рисовать их в своём стиле. Но я знаю, что я ещё не определился, как буду их рисовать и они точно будут меняться. И пририсовал к братьям чужого оригинального персонажа, тоже черепашку. Он мне под руку попался просто

I decided to try to draw them in my own style. But I know I haven't decided how I'm going to draw them yet, and they're bound to change. So I drew the four brothers and someone else's original character, also a turtle. She just happened to fall into my lap.

И последним наброском я устроил чаепитием с Сплинтером. Я очень хотел чай, но и забыл его себе заварить. Зато нарисовал, как пью чай с сенсеем. Хотелось бы действительно устроить такое чаепитие

And for the last sketch, I had a tea party with Splinter. I really wanted tea, but I forgot to make it for myself. But I drew myself having tea with Sensei. I wish I could actually have a tea party like that

Украденные черепашки | Stolen turtles

Серия набросков в цвете, с идеей украденных Черепашек и их взаимодействие с моим персонажем

A series of colour sketches with the idea of stolen turtles and their interaction with my character.

Милые черепашки | Cute turtles

Уговорили, красть вас, черепашек, не буду. Но разрешите вас любить и тискать! И в гости приходить. Это очень важно!

All right, I won't steal you turtles. But I'll let you love you and squeeze you! And come visit. It's very important!

Ну или я всё равно кого-то да украду. Но обещаю возвращать. Наверное буду возвращать. Как таких милых черепашек не красть? Это выше моих сил

Or I'll steal someone anyway. But I promise to return it. I guess I will. How do you not steal such cute turtles? It's beyond me

Ладно, я действительно, неожиданно для себя, поймал фиксацию на черепашках. И так же неожиданно нашёл в черепашках антистресс.

Okay, I did, unexpectedly, catch a fixation on turtles. And I also unexpectedly found an anti-stress in turtles.

Между неофициальным препаратом успокоительного и черепашками, я склонен выбирать черепашек. Жаль только, что на работе их не порисуешь, конечно.

Between an unofficial sedative drug and turtles, I tend to choose the turtles. Too bad you can't draw them at work, of course.

Это всё ожидание последнего экзамена в колледже. Мне нужно больше черепашек.

It's all the anticipation of the last college exam. I need more turtles.

Стащил Черепашек | Stole the Turtles

«Тихо взял и ушёл - называется нашёл»

"Quietly picked up and left - it's called finding it."

Это небольшой скетч, посвящённый возрождению мой любви к черепашкам. Я от чего-то только сейчас понял, что могу их рисовать. Не знаю почему я рьяно обходил идею фанатских рисунков

This is a little sketch dedicated to rekindling my love of turtles. For some reason I've only just realised I can draw them. I don't know why I've been skirting the idea of fan art.

Вот. Пришёл к мысли. И «забрал» черепашек в образе своего альтр-эго

Come to think of it. And "took" the turtles as my alter ego.

Моё теперь

Mine now.

Набросок большой «семьи»

Здесь 5 моих оригинальных героев и 4 черепашеньки

Конечно ниндзя. Просто они ещё маленькие крохи

Я ещё думаю дорисовать Сплинтера и не только
