2012 Leo - Tumblr Posts
Noticed a weird pattern initially where in the first few episodes, Splinter only ever talked to Leo when they succeeded, but brought all of them in when they failed, and never scolded Leo about it. This developed as time went on, but it was weird that that’s specifically what was happened for that long.
My boi can never catch a break-

Raph’s annoyance melted away. He looked away. “It’s really not that bad.” “I don’t care if it’s ‘not that bad’, you got hurt!” No. 27: Scars | “Let me see”
In the spirit of the Rottmnt movies release, have a doodle dump of some of the drawings I’ve done since it’s release! I’m not extremely proud of them but wanted to post them somewhere :]
And yes leo has the trans flag on his nails
Something I’ve been discussing with people since I’m currently doing a 12 rewatch with friends and streamed a bunch of episodes last night (for me) so we talked about this:
Medic Leo is shown in tmnt 12
Leo patches his bros up and knows how to wake Mikey up for example
Donnie literally makes the mutagen medicine that makes Leo worse and the bathtub will keep him from being dehydrated
Yet the fandom points at 12 Donnie and goes medic-
I gesture to Leo in response. That boy is medic!
Uhhhh..... Ourple? Just the dudes doing silly goofy stuff at midnight
I have decided that blast to the past is canon in the 2012 TMNT universe. Idc that it's like a spin off movie or whatever. They made dino friends and they use the kraang portals to visit them sometimes.

Hi how are you doing I been meaning to ask if you could do tmnt 2012 Leo x female mutant reader who develope an obsessive crush(not yandere) on him and wants to date him badly and shows her affections through hugs and kisses ?
💙2012 Leonardo x Female Mutant Reader💙🐢
(Side note: I’ve been extremely sick so sorry for the late response. I decided not to describe too many of her mutant features, to allow for personal imagination/creativity. As always let me know if you like it, I’m always open to feedback and questions. I hope you like it 🥹 I’m still pretty critical of my own work. All characters are 18+. He’s so cute in this gif 🥰)
You paced around April’s apartment. Your tail twitching frantically behind you, as information spewed from your mouth. You were discussing…obsessing…over your crush with April.
It was silly you never really felt so nervous around someone. But Leo’s presence brought butterflies into your head, heart, and stomach.
“What am I going to do! I don’t think this is just a crush anymore April…I think…I-I-I think I’m in love with him.”
You stopped. Daring to meet her eyes to see her reaction. She had known the turtles since they were teenagers, and she was the least likely to make fun of you…well besides Leo, but he wasn’t really an option.
“I have an idea! Let’s head to the lair, I’ll subtly tell you the plan step by step. Okay?” She smiled brightly.
“Okay…thanks April.”
“No thanks for trusting me! I know it’s hard for you to trust humans” I nodded glumly.
…
It seemed to take forever to arrive to the lair. You expected her to tell you the first step but didn’t want to annoy her anymore with your neediness. You feet felt to heavy to pick up again and again. But finally you arrived.
You couldn’t tell if your heartbeat was rapid because of the walk or because the thought of seeing Leo made you dizzy all over. Either way, it was so loud you could swear it was echoing off the sewer walls.
And then there he was. Smiling and greeting you at the door like a gentlemen. Your cheeks burned as you snatched him in for a tight hug. It was so sudden it even surprised you. He was used to your hugs though and held you back. You melted in his arms and breathed in the smell off him. Lightly so he wouldn’t hear you. You could stay like this for ever
“Uh…Y/N?” He chuckled as you quickly pulled away. Cheeks burning even more than before.
“Sorry! It’s just nice to see you. I mean you all, nice to see everyone! It seems like it’s been forever.”
“It’s been a week.” Raph snapped. You reluctantly pulled your eyes off Leo to glare at him.
“A week too long!” Leo’s eyes shined almost as bright as his smile.
“Actually, the reason we’re here is we wanna train. I’ve been working with Master Splinter, and since I’m more advanced we should probably take the dojo…but maybe you two…can start with some basics…in your room Leo…?”
Him! His room! Me! Me with him, in his room! How could she do this to me? April was supposed to help, not trap me alone with him!
“Okay…” I looked up at him. He was blushing too. He never got flustered. He was always calm, cool, collected, and composed. But now…now he was blushing. Not noticeably! Only a…certain someone could see. You could see it.
Maybe you were a little too obsessed…You shook your head to clear your worries as Leo guided you to his room.
His room. It smelled like him. It smelled good. It looked good too. Bed made, books neatly stacked, weapons cleaned and placed on display. He took his katanas off the small rack, and layed them carefully on his bed. He grabbed another pair.
He paused and walked over to you. Gently he put it in your mutant palms. Guiding your hands to the right position. Who knew you could hold them wrong?
The air felt thick and heavy. He was talking you could see his lips move and make out some of the things he was saying. But you couldn’t help but notice that he felt nice. How his lips…must feel nice too. His sparkling blue eyes peered back up.
“Got it?” His voice rang. It was clear. Everything was. You knew what you needed to do. You needed to kiss him. So you did.
There weren’t any sparks or firecrackers. Just a wave of relief of the pressure that had built up. Even as his lips pressed against yours, you knew, that he knew, this wasn’t a little crush. You both knew this was love.
In that moment you realized he loved you all along as well. What started off as a friendship it slowly and beautifully opened into something beautiful. And even though you used to wish that it would happen soon, that long awaited time was worth this perfect and still moment in time. It was more special now. He was going to be there from now on.
You were both going to be there to tell each other that everything is okay…when it’s not really okay. Except that it is…with him…and you…together. Together.
That one scene in two souls @virgilisspidey you have an amazing story, the fic is on ao3 and makes me scream like a rabid dog
Oh lord—
The Leo Trauma is coming I can just feel it
Practice sketches with Leo
Thought I would include the coloured doodle here too
Day 4 of @tmaynt , baby turtles:
Listen, I only had an hour and a half to do this so it's a bit rushed, and I'm still learning how to do more of a painted style to my digital art so you get ONE baby turtle
It can be whichever 12 tot you want!
Also, this is based on something that happened to me as a baby (my sister put a bucket on my head and I just kinda sat there with it)
Day 5 of @tmaynt , favorite leo:
2012 ofc, wanted to capture the soft smile he has with his family (aka moments before disaster)
This one's not as rushed as yesterday's but I still think I could have done a bit better. All part of the learning curve yknow?
How long do you typically spend on each TMayNT drawing? Of the ones you've done so far, which one took the longest? Which one was the quickest?
That's a good question!
I have 2 different styles that I go with and both take different amounts of time! (Lined and lineless)
I would say lineless is the one that takes me the longest, as I am both learning to do it and it requires me to build up colors like a painting. As for how long it takes, could be an hour or I could spend well over a day on the piece!
My longest drawing so far is the unfinished comic cover for "My Name is Venus", mostly due to the various characters and need for backgrounds.
As for the quickest, it's this short comic I made because someone in a discord server im in said Leo's rebellious phase would be putting ice in his tea. I spent MAYBE 10 minutes on it haha
(This is a good excuse to post this)
Thank you for the question!
Edit: I misread the thing lol, answers are pretty much the same regardless! For TMayNT the longest was bebop and rock stead and the shortest was the turtle tot! Sorry about that lol
