“yeah, i think i get it too.”
Zenonia doodles!
My god this fandom is so dead like what the fuck. Can’t say I’m surprised though, most of the games got wiped out of existence from Playstore and Apple Store cuz Gamevil didn’t update it anymore. Still, this franchise was great!
Currently replaying Zenonia 4, finally beat Zenonia 3 after a decade, and I’d like to play Zenonia and do the evil route when I get the chance.
Aight so a little headcanon, Regret can sense negative emotion ever since he was a kid. He doesn’t make sense of them until the start of Zenonia where his father dies but you can imagine how shitty he feels when he was in Ayles. Bruh.
Also, the townsfolk of Ayles weren’t influenced by the energy of Ladon inside Regret because if that was the case then Chael would’ve been treated like a king cuz he’s an absolute angel. Or maybe this is just me spouting crap out of my ass.
Still.
Oh and the Dragon Clan are sick fucks.
I’m so sorry Regret :,)
No. No I’m fucking not.
Spoilers:
So yeah. Zenonia 3 ending? Lots of copium. Gods. It hurts so bad. So I cope by making a doodle of this wonderful father and son. Fuck Temir, Regret best dad. There were so many flashbacks, it was so cuteeeeeee.
I love them.
I wish they get a happy ending in Zenonia Chronobreak.
some fast zenonia doodles
I am so scraping on this Zenonia content lmaooooooo
Currently obsessed with Zenonia
a dad and his grown son
When your father becomes younger than you:
or
When your son’s older than you and emo:
Old memories best forgotten, and a face being seen twice.
holy shit
Bryan with lava eyes :DDD
It’s been a while since I fully colored smth :,)
Here’s the Sketch and the one with a background!
I attempted to make lava. I’m not sure if it went well lmao.
I also don’t know how to draw or render muscles but BUFF BRYAN SUPREMACY!
HE IS SLIGHTLY TONED BUT HE CAN FLATTEN A STONE FUCKING COUNTER THATS CANON FIGHT ME
Honestly, I’m not sure if I can write this AU. With confidence I mean. I already got like a 15k word outline going on and it’s still going and it’s been like that for the past 3 years. Yeah. Pretty crazy. But if I can’t write this then I might resort into posting a bulleted list on what I should’ve written in the betterment of those 3 years instead of making a long ass outline to get it out into the world.
I love this AU, you have no idea, but it is so hard to write. So bear with me. I’ll give a bit of insight into it.
• This is a canon divergence of the canon timeline where instead of Bryan taking the hit, it’s Molten taking the hit. (My guy is not having a great time. Both of them.)
• This AU is canon defiant to the actual lore in Bryan’s series. A lot actually. This is a bit more canon compliant to the Fnaf storyline. Focusing more on spirits and souls than portals and portal magic. Soul juice produced from murdered children. All that good stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I love the series but I wish it focused on the souls of the kids and their stories if only a little.
• Let’s say there are a lot of hidden secrets in the old pizzeria that Bryan would carry to his grave. Most of them is guilt. The other is shame borderlining to self loathing.
• “No one would ever believe you.” :)
• This AU’s pov is also on the animatronics side. Mostly Freddy, Helpy (the old one), and maybe probably Foxy (the Rockstar one) I miss them, okay?
• Pat is around too. Watching over the animatronics while getting deathly afraid of them for a definite period of time before making friends with them because wow, those robots aren’t actually gonna force them into a Freddy Fazbear suit. Why did they listen to a pre-recorded message anyway?
• Jon is the one that stumbles onto the secret. But its not complete. He wonders where he should find the other pieces.
• You know OG Freddy? How he was repaired? Yeah. That part wasn’t the only thing that brought him back to life.
• And the monitor Lefty stole from the pizzeria? Maybe Egg Baby? Wonder whats that for?
• The book that Bryan gave to Twisted Bonnie also changed. Still has the blueprints of the animatronics but of different animatronics.
• “Hmmmm, I wonder what I can do for Baby’s birthday? How can I make it her happiest day of her shortlived li—wait, can I even say that?????”
• Also, does anyone know what happened to Twisted Freddy? Did he just become the wind or what? We’ll see.
• Since Lefty didn’t die, let’s say Shadow Freddy had other places to be. And Twisted Wolf? Honestly forgot about that guy hahaha I’ll think of something.
• Oh! EB (Evil Bryan) is there too! Like actually.
• It’s quite funny to have two short humans going on offense while literal monsters go on support and defense lmao. What a bunch of losers.
• “See you on the flipside!”
• Hey. What’s up with Bryan’s eyes?
That’s all for now. Maybe I’ll post another one or work on a chapter? Who knows…
I can’t promise anything. I can only promise that the next will take a whileeeeeeee, a post or a chapter.
I still have not named this AU and marked it as INSERT TITLE HERE.
And to those that recognize that title, I am so sorry. I literally redid the first 5 chapters, finished 4, then dropped it off at chapter 7-8. Chapter 1-4 are finished but 5-8 is a land mine. I don’t know how to keep it going lmao. No really, it’s a struggle writing this dang thing and I want it out of my head too. I can’t promise any chapters or that I’m working on it because I’m so busy but I did not forget it if thats what you’re thinking. It’s just hard to write. Like really hard. That’s why I focused a bit on oneshots.
One things for sure though. It’s either chapter 5, 6, or 7 BUT—
Minigames. Plus Springtrap.
ITH!Bryan: Oh joy.
Feel free to ask questions about this AU! I’d be happy to answer! (Most of them anyway. Can’t reveal everything.)
Okay. This has been bugging me for god knows how long BUT—
Remember how Steve went into his head to find Bryan? Like, the time when Bryan was still a corpse inside his suit and stuff? Glitchtrap still being there and all? Well there was this one thing that did not make sense like at all.
If Bryan didn’t remember Steve when he was found in the pizzeria, who the fuck called him???????

Season 2
Bryan: You know. You guys are kinda hypoctires
Freddy: What?
Bonnie: Why?
Bryan: You tell me to get help but refuse to tell me when I have my appointments until they happen and refuse to let me make my own appointments.
Freddy: That’s because...uh.
Bryan: And you tell me I should spend more time at home away from you and have a personal life but everytime I do, you force yourselves into my house and mess with my personal life. Which is it? Want me to be my own person or have you guys in it all the time?
Bonnie: That’s because we..
Bryan: and you guys say I don't take Constructive criticism well. Your critisim isn't constructive at all you just say that ‘This building sucks’ ‘Your layout is utter nonsense’ ‘This design is bad’ You don't even try to be nice about it or think that, I DIDNT DESIGN THIS PLACE! HELPY DID!
Bonnie: But uh...You did visit this place to okay it...right?
Bryan: No. Helpy didn't even tell me the address until we got here after the pizzeria burned down. Also you say ‘You’re bad with money’ whenever I buy myself clothes or accessories when you guys are allowing Helpy and the others to buy silly shit they don't even use, and you don't say that to them.
Bonnie: There is a reason for that.
Bryan: Which is?
Bonnie: Well...Helpy..is..smart?
Bryan: She fell for a Nigerian prince scam, three times!
Bonnie:...A different kind of smart.
Bryan: And then there's my sleep schedule. You tell me to sleep more but in the middle of the night, you wake me up for stupid reasons! You do it because you can't tell me in the morning because i’m ‘Forgetful’
Bonnie: Then when are we supposed to tell you?
Bryan: In the afternoon? Like 3 PM? When i’m awake for a while?
Bonnie: Oh. Forgot that was an option.
Freddy: Yeah same here.
Bryan: Now, have anything you want to say?
Freddy: Well..Uh. You should really be more mature about this. So we’re hypocrites, stop being a baby about it.
Bryan: You have no place to talk about being mature, you died when you were ten you don't even know how babies are made.
Freddy: Yes I do!
Bryan: Then how?
Freddy: *unsure* When..a mommy and daddy love each other.
Bryan: See? You call me a child even though you are literally still children playing grownup!
Bonnie: Well we’re not throwing a tantrum.
Bryan: Actually when you reach a certain age it’s called a mental breakdown. And i’m sorry you guys don't like me having feelings. If you couldn't tell that was sarcasm.
Bonnie: Why even bring this thing up?
Bryan: Therapy.
Freddy: You’re seeing another therapist?
Bryan: No you guys are.
Freddy: What?
Bryan pushes two of them into a room and locks it. There's a guy in there.
Bonnie: You can't do this!
Bryan: Why? You force me to go to therapy how is this different?
Bonnie: We don't need it!
Bryan: You have a large lack of communication skills, you favor others and hate me even though they do worse things, you blame me for things that aren't my fault. And we have no idea why Freddy has such bad anger issues.
Freddy: I DONT HAVE ANGER ISSUES! *Pulls the doorknob off the door*...Okay maybe I do but I don't...need help.
Bryan: I’ve said that hundreds of times but you ignored it, so i’ll ignore it.
Freddy: You’ll have to let us out sooner or later....Bryan! Bryan!
Bonnie:...I think he left.
Finally someone seeing how hypocritical Bryan’s animatronics are! Gosh I’ve literally been trying to out it into words and you did it splendidly! Nice job!
Seriously though, there’s a lot of unresolved issues between the Fnaf 6 animatronics and Bryan. And now that there is basically no one left, Bryan’s still there picking up the pieces even when he died.
It doesn’t justify his behavior at all in the current episodes (it makes me want to punch the daylights out of him) but it does give an explanation as to why he acts the way he does now. If only they were able to communicate with each other properly and actually talk to each other rather than going around the bush, hmmmmm.
Still though, it’s kinda sad now that I think about it. Bryan tried his very hardest to be the best owner he could be and yet he gets blamed with things that are just out of his control most of the time. Sure he could’ve done better and tried to stop it from happening or stop it from getting worse by listening to their warnings but even then nothing would’ve stopped Afton or Glitchtrap on what they planned.
Afton was always steps ahead of them after all.
And besides, what could he have done anyway? Bring his animatronics home? Call the police? That’d just put him in more needless danger and they need him because he’s practically the only reason why all the Fnaf 6 animatronics were free and not in boxes or made into soda cans. And the cops can’t deal with an immortal child murderer.
Still, my guy deserves a break. A real one. And therapy. And a group therapy session with all the animatronics so they can actually work together to make things better.
I love those animatronics with all my heart but god they need to grow up too. Maybe then they would’ve stood a chance.
But sheesh, my guy was out through the wringer my god. Getting teased childish and immature for having no childhood and then being branded as the “Bad Business Owner”? Seriously, isn’t that like a violation against company policy on employees or smth? Not getting constructedly criticized for the things he’s done wrong so he can do better and instead berated and mocked for it so he just learns to fear making mistakes and not get better? And his sleep schedule? They blame him for that but in actuality they’re one of the reasons why he doesn’t sleep.
Even Jon and Davis weren’t much help either. Bryan was practically begging for advice, tips, and answers to make things right and to do things better and they just blow him off. They said they’ll handle it and then they leave the work to him! Which makes sense but sometimes I wonder why he puts his livelihood on the line for them. Where do you think he learned to blow you guys off? Bruh.
Not saying that he’s innocent by any means, god no he’s an idiot and he’s made lots and lots of mistakes I know that, but he wasn’t the only one to make mistakes. Everyone just made it seem like he was the only one making them.
And the temper tantrums? “When you grow up, it’s called mental breakdowns.” They got roasted XD
(Also, I can’t help but laugh at the thought of Freddy not knowing how babies are made. It’s so silly but it makes so much sense XD)

[Setting: 2012 Lair]
[Time period: After Kavaxas Arc (2012); After Kraang Invasion (Rise)]
……….
After the shock of a blue portal spitting out four turtles, each different kinds and sizes—
“AGAIN WITH THE ANOTHER DIMENSIONAL US?!”
“That would be ‘Nardo’s fault”
“Fascinating. They’re all different species. So that one is a box turtle, a soft shell, and—“
“Gee, that’s really interesting Donnie. I just got another call from someone named ‘I don’t give a flying fuck!’”
“Raphael!”
— and sorting out what to call each other and not get confused, 8 three-dimensional turtles stood around getting to know each other. Leonardo was standing with Raphael and Raph. His hot headed brother seemed somewhat intimidated by his counterpart’s size. In turn, the alligator snapper was slightly jealous at Raphael’s natural instinct of being good with animals and that he owned an alien space turtle. As gentle as he seemed, the other Raph wasn’t good at getting affection from animals, particularly a creature named Mayhem. Donatello and Donnie were having a conversation at a rapid rate talking about science and machinery (“Oh it’s so nice to have an intellectual conversation!”). Leonardo smiled softly watching his younger brother’s brown eyes sparkle as he could finally hold a conversation that he was passionate about and didn’t have to dumb down the words. Michelangelo was introducing Mikey to Ice Cream Kitty. The youngest terrapin of the bunch was starry eyed over the mutant cat.
All in all, it was a good time… except for one turtle.
Leon was at a loss in this dimension. His counterpart was nothing like him. He was serious, focused, short, and all-in-all kind of boring. He also seemed very bossy. But even all that was forgivable. It was the fact that everyone had seemed to push him to the side while they got to know each other. His first thought was to go to the youngest pair of siblings. They had broken off from the group first and went to the kitchen, yelling catchphrases:
“BOOYAKASHA!”
“COWABUNGA!”
“You should try combining them”
“Oh me gosh!”
“BOOYAKABUNGA!!”
Leon poked his head through the curtain and watched them. The two were grabbing ingredients out of the cupboards and fridge and talking at a rate and level only a Michelangelo could comprehend. Leon smiled softly, happy his baby brother could be as carefree as he wanted without annoying another turtle. He decided to let the two of them be, before going to the next group of turtles, the Donnie’s.
Donnie and Leon had always had similar mannerisms, temperaments, and actions. Both of them could bounce off another's thought, either for agreements or arguments, the latter being the most likely. But that is where they ended. Donnie was extremely intelligent and preferred machines and science to people… or creatures. Leon needed to have eyes on him and chat with someone who would be willing to listen. Donnie too craved praise, but was often more confident in his work than Leon. He pushed the metal door open and saw his twin and the other Donatello talking about robots or something…
“What’s up Donnies?!” He interrupted their conversation, nearly knocking some liquid in a beaker over in the process. “Oops. That’s on me”
Donatello blew out a breath of limited patience and Donnie just rolled his eyes. “Did you need something, ‘Nardo?”
“Just wanted to see if you needed any help with your nerd stuff.”
“It’s actually quite fascinating,” Donatello started going off on a tangent. Leon groaned aloud. Apparently this world’s Donnie had a speech mode too. Donatello flashed Leon an annoyed look. Donnie snarked.
“Please ignore my dum-dum of a brother. Nardo, don’t you think you can be annoying elsewhere?” Donnie asked. While he wasn’t usually dismissive of his twin so quickly, he was delighted to meet another genius like himself. One that he didn’t have to trick anyone into a machine to make them match his own. He could use large words and the other Donatello knew perfectly well what he was talking about. He had been in the process of talking about one of his metal robots, Metal Head— Michelangelo had named it and was the undecided namer of mutants and machines— when Leon had interrupted.
Leon smirked amusingly, masking his hurt. Donnie’s barbs didn’t always strike a blow, but they hurt worse than anyone else’s on the rare occasion.
Actually, it hurt a lot more than he let on if he thought about it. It was rarely Donnie’s intention to hurt anyone’s feelings. He didn’t understand how his blunt words could affect other people and Leon usually did a terrible job of showing how much it did. And it isn’t like he hadn’t gotten his purple-clad brother back. Heck, even in one of the most stressful moments of their lives, he couldn’t help but gleefully yell out:
“Donnie’s wrong!”
“The world is ending, yet the barbs continue” he had mocked back, huffing irritably.
But now, when Donnie called him dumb in front of the other genius stung more than it should have. He wasn’t sure if he was overreacting. He probably was. He mentally shook off the feeling.
He waved the two brainiacs off and went back to the living area where both Mikey and Michelangelo were animatedly talking as a TV show of a couple guys, a lady, and a ghost of sorts were riding on horseback, saying cheesy dialogue. He cleared his throat and they turned and smiled at him, though Mikey seemed a little upset to be interrupted.
“Do you know where the Raphs and other me is?”
Michelangelo grinned and jerked a thumb backwards. “Dojo. I think your Raph is loving my Leo’s dedication to training.”
Leon rolled his eyes. Yet another thing he and Leonardo didn’t have in common. If it weren’t for the blue mask, Leon wouldn’t have guessed that this… stick-in-the-mud that put Raph’s Raph-chasm to shame was his counterpart.
He wondered if it was an oldest sibling thing that made his counterpart and his big brother act so… blehhh. Then again, Raph had fun on missions and at the lair. Leo had a mix of both surprise and the look of someone who was used to turtles popping through portals. Then again, Donatello had said they’d encountered other counterparts before. But after the initial disturbance in their day, Leo seemed to just be… extremely… boring. The most expressive Leo seemed was at Raph’s personality. Apparently this world’s Raph was a bit of a hothead, but he had a gentle spirit under his gruff exterior. You just had to be patient and get to know him better.
He thanked Michelangelo and was about to leave when an idea occurred to him.
“We should go skateboarding!”
“Another time, Leon” Mikey smiled “Michelangelo is telling me about this show, Crognard the Barbarian”
Mikey and Michelangelo turned and began to talk animatedly and gathered close to the TV
Leon didn’t know why, but his baby brother rejecting his offer to go have some fun hurt more than ever. Mikey was the turtle Leon looked to when he needed someone to hype him up or go and be silly with. Donnie was cynical and Raph spent more and more time worrying about looking after the three of them, further increasing his Raph-chasm. And now Mikey seemed to have found someone that was like him in almost every way. Who was Leon to protest that or compete even? God, he was so right when he’d poured out his heart to Hueso. He wasn’t anything without his brothers, and now? He wasn’t anything in comparison to their counterparts.
After standing there for a couple minutes, drowning in self doubt, while being completely ignored by Michelangelo and Mikey, he headed to the dojo where he could hear the sounds of metal on metal, and a calm voice offering guidance. Inside he couldn’t help but admire the serenity of the place. Raph and Raphael sparring was the only thing out of serenity. The slider was a bit surprised this dimension’s Raphael could hold his own against his big brother, given how much smaller he was. His counterpart stood by the large tree eyes watching the two red-banded turtles fight, occasionally commenting on Raph’s fighting techniques. No one had noticed him.
Leon couldn’t take this anymore, even though he kept a fond smile on his face. He got that sparring took concentration, but his big brother was happily bouncing off Raphael’s snarky retorts, adding some barbs of his own. He was a bit surprised Raph was trash talking, he was fairly polite. But that might have been him just trying to set a good example. It was good to see his brother “relax” and enjoy sparring as much as he did. But right now, Leon just wanted the reassurance from his big bro that he was important and interesting to be around… and that wasn’t happening. He willed Raph to come over and put a hand on his shoulder and bend down to his level having another one of his serious talks… the ones Leon dismissed but now wanted more than ever. But he guessed that he would just have to deal with being second place to… well everything.
He grinned and turned around to leave when he heard Leonardo call out:
“YAME!”
……….
To say Leonardo and Raphael were surprised by the demeanor of the other Raph was an understatement. Raphael was a bit suspicious if he was a “Raph.” Leo wasn’t sure how to process that. His own counterpart was extremely different. The two had exchanged pleasantries, but that had been their only interaction so far. Leon had seemed to be more fascinated with exploring the place or being with the Mikeys. Leo didn’t mind; Leon would come talk to him if or when he wanted, though he was looking forward to talking to his own counterpart. He was also a bit wary of another dimension visiting. That usually meant the Kraang were up to no good or some world catastrophe was about to hit. Thankfully, they explained that Leon’s swords could create portals and they’d somehow wound up making one to Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo’s dimension.
Anyways, Leonardo learned pretty quickly that while Raph had a much more relaxed aura, he still liked using brute force and had a temper. Raphael seemed rather pleased about that and Leo couldn’t help but worry slightly, as the two red banded turtles talked about how the best plan in a fight was smashing things to bits.
Leonardo also connected well with Raph as both of them were the eldest brothers and got generally annoyed when their little brothers didn’t listen. They both ranted a bit when Raphael left to go get Chompy Picasso to show to Raph.
Eventually, Leonardo had started a conversation with Raph about training and was very excited to talk to someone who was just as passionate about training. While his brothers were skilled and still trained, they didn’t have the same passion as he did. The only other one was his father. Leo still kept expecting his father to be in the dojo whenever he entered. He wondered if that would go away anytime soon.
While Raph was the bigger of the two, Raphael seemed to best him in skill. But Raph didn’t seem to mind.
“Pops is usually watchin’ his shows, so we don’t get a lot of training time in” Raph explained to the two of them. “But he taught us stuff about using our surroundings and blending in with the shadows!” Raph also shared the knowledge of his Hamato ninpo and his Gram-Gram had taught him. Leonardo and Raphael were surprised she had been the start of the Hamato clan and was dated so far back in genealogy. They were even more flabbergasted to learn that her name was “Karai” and her father was Oruku Saki and was possessed by some demonic armor, becoming their dimension’s Shredder.
Leo and Raphael took turns explaining their own dimension’s Karai and what she was like. Raph was surprised and got a bit misty eyed upon learning she was their sister and still… alive. Raph explained how she had sacrificed herself to buy them time to escape, but her spirit now somehow had connected with their April O’Neil. In turn, Leo and Raphael struggled keeping their emotions in check while they had pointed to the shrine in their father’s memory and explained simply that their father had been slain by their Shredder and Leonardo was now the sensei of the Hamato Clan. Leonardo still hated that title. He knew he would never be worthy of it. And if he somehow did? He still wouldn’t like it. That was reserved for Master Splinter alone.
After some hugs on Raph’s part and condolences were exchanged, Raphael insisted upon getting back to sparring. Raph seemed to hesitate at first but soon jumped back in. Leonardo made a mental note to talk to his younger brother tonight and make sure he was okay. Sparring was one of Raphael’s ways to cope and deal with his feelings whereas Leonardo found himself being able to refocus by giving guidance or orders. Raph had asked to have some lessons, so Leonardo was more than happy to instruct and regain composure. Raphael also guided his counterpart and in turn learned some cool moves.
Midway through the sparring session, Leonardo was instructing Raph on something when he noticed his own counterpart slip in. He had an amused and slightly smug grin on his face and lax posture. To the average person, or mutant, Leon appeared to be chilling. However, Leonardo took one look at his counterpart and could see how well the younger turtle was masking what he was truly feeling. Leo had that look down and it was easy and saddening to see in Leon’s face. He took note of how the smile didn’t reach Leon’s eyes. They seemed distant and slightly melancholy if you were looking hard enough. They also seemed to be locked on his older brother, seeking out his attention that wasn’t being given. A few minutes more of this, and Leon had grinned while starting to turn around and walk out the room and Leonardo found himself calling out, “YAME!” before realizing it. Raphael stopped of course, but Raph seemed a little confused.
“It means ‘stop’ in Japanese,” Leo explained as Raph nodded in understanding. Leonardo cleared his throat before speaking again, “If you guys don’t mind, I’d actually like a chance to hang out a bit with Leon for a bit.”
The two red clad turtles turned in surprise, taking note of Leon’s presence. Leonardo watched as several unhappy emotions flashed across Leon’s face, though he hid it under witty dialogue and a mischievous grin. Raph asked Raphael if he could see Chompy again to which he agreed. They said their goodbyes and left Leon and Leonardo in a slightly awkward silence. Leo cleared his throat again— the scar tissue from his fight during the Kraangs’ second invasion was getting irritated— and gestured for Leon to join him, which he hesitantly did.
Leo gave him a gentle smile, “I was meaning to talk to you earlier, but I got carried away with training with our brothers.”
“Psshh, all good,” Leon put on a casual, disinterested face, not aware of how well Leo could see through it. “Hardly noticed”
“Uh huh,” Leo gave his counterpart a look, but let it go. “So, how is it going with our other brothers out there? I haven’t had much of a chance to speak to them either.”
“Oh, just dandy. Donnie’s doing his nerd things with Donatello and the baby brothers won’t stop going from activity to activity.” Leon prattled in a tone that Leo couldn’t quite place. It wasn’t quite jealousy or sadness.
“So, Raph told me you’re now the leader of your team? How’s that going for you?”
Leon wasn’t sure why but the way it sounded upset him. He crossed his arm glaring into Leo’s sapphire blue eyes. “Why? So you can gloat about how much better you are than I am?”
Leo looked surprised but decided to say nothing as his younger counterpart ranted on. Leo figured this was a long time coming of holding too much in, if Leon was anything like him.
“I get it! Okay! I screwed up with the kraang attacking us! I was selfish and overconfident! I didn’t want to be the leader! I didn’t even ask for it! Just out of the blue—pun totally intended— pops appoints me as leader! That’s Raph's job! I don’t train or meditate or whatever it is you do! That’s not me! I just want to be the face man of the team! That’s all I’m good for anyway.”
Leo was taken back and before he can stop himself he’s glaring right back at the slider with a hand gripping his shoulder. Leon looks surprised.
“I don’t know what things are like in your dimension,” Leo starts. “But you are so much more to your brothers than what you think you are. You're their brother and they would do anything for you. I didn’t ask how it was going to gloat. I wanted to see how you were truly feeling. As different as we are, we both seem to have the tendency to put up a facade of what we’re really feeling. I get what you’re going through on some level. I’m not perfect, in any way. I have screwed up leading my brothers on missions and fights more than I can count, but they always had my back and were there for me. That’s what family does.”
Leon’s eyes widened and stared at his counterpart before looking down in shame. He was flabbergasted that Leo could read him so well. He didn’t seem insulted by Leon angrily thinking Leo was flawless. It was comforting to know that the older turtle had his struggles too. He didn’t know why he had an outburst like that, especially with someone he wasn’t familiar with.
“S-sorry,” he stammered. “I, I didn’t mean—“
Leonardo squeezed his shoulder and asked him to take a deep breath and focus. Leon was hesitant but did so and felt a lot calmer. Huh, maybe this meditation was worth something after all.
Leo smiled, “All good.” The two sat in a peaceful silence, Leon breaking it off once again as something in Leo’s spiel hit him.
“You said you messed up before?” He ducks his head again, the way it sounds. But Leo let’s out a small laugh.
“Ha. Yeah, many times. And I’m still learning.”
Leon looked down. Leo’s misdeeds probably weren’t as bad as his. God, he couldn’t believe it took a kid from the future to get through him. Leo must have sensed something again— the dude was really observant— as his ocean colored eyes shifted, staring at him intently before speaking,
“One time, I didn’t tell my brothers and Master Splinter that I was dressing up in black gear and burning down buildings with my sister and her childhood friend, Shinigami, resulting in Donnie getting badly injured.”
Leon’s jaw was on the ground. “Wait. What?!”
Leonardo shot him a wry smile. “Not such a goodie-two-shoes, huh?”
Leon laughed and felt some of the tension and awkwardness dissipate
And after a few more stories on Leo’s slip ups as the leader and eldest, the tension seemed to melt away completely and Leo found his younger counterpart bombarding him with questions about his position as the team’s leader. He shared some of his father’s wisdom when he was struggling with his own issues of being the leader, minus a few things he thought were detrimental and didn’t agree with anymore.
“What if,” Leon swallowed. He didn’t want this to happen. It nearly did when he led against the kraang. It was such a disaster. “What if I fail?”
Leo stared sympathetically at him before straightening. “This isn’t what you want to hear, but it is the truth. As the leader, failing is always a possible outcome. But that doesn’t mean you give up. There is always hope to hold onto. And your brothers and team will be there to back you up and smack sense into you. You don’t have to be alone. That’s something I’m still learning.”
“‘Where there’s a Hamato, there is hope’” Leon quotes. Leonardo gives him a curious look and Leon lets out a sad laugh. “My gram-gram Karai said that. We met her briefly. She sacrificed herself to save us from our Shredder.”
Leo squeezes his shoulder, “I’m so sorry. She seems wonderful. In my dimension, Karai is my sister. She was raised by The Shredder after he took her away from our dimension’s Splinter.”
Leon lets out a relieved sigh. It’s nice to know that while she isn’t alive in his world, she’s here in this one. She lives through April, but it isn’t the same. He hadn’t been around during the discussion of Karai and Splinter, so he feels much more awful when he asks, “Where is your Splinter, by the way?” Leo’s face falls and he stands slowly and walks over to the shrine that is on the side of the room and carefully takes a picture off the top shelf. A tall and stern rat mutant stands with a soft and proud look in his eyes and four young turtles smiling brightly are in front of him.
“My father was slain by the Shredder,” Leo says, his voice tight and says no more and Leon gets it. There’s nothing more to be added and given by his stance, he guesses Leo doesn’t want to talk about it right now.
The two sit soberly back down before Leon turns the conversation back to being a leader. He asks Leo about his beginning challenges as the leader. Leo couldn’t help but laugh for a bit before explaining himself.
“Being a leader is crazy and not at all what I expected,” Leo admitted, staring at his father’s shrine, echoes of his father’s voice ever present. “I used to annoy my brothers to no end saying dumb one liners and quoting Captain Ryan.”
Leon raised an eye ridge. “Who’s Captain Ryan?”
Leo’s eyes widened and stared at his counterpart before launching into a “shortened” version of the best show ever, Space Heroes. Leon bounced excitedly and began talking about Jupiter Jim, the two blue-clad turtles going back and forth animatedly talking about their favorite shows. Leo was jealous that Leon got to meet Jupiter Jim and eagerly agreed to give them a watch as long as Leon was willing to watch Space Heroes. The two exited the dojo and Leo was about to go off to his room to get his Space Heroes comics when Michelangelo ran to Leonardo.
“Safe!” The orange banded terrapin exclaimed as he ticked himself behind his eldest. Mikey came over behind him holding some stuffed animal that looked like a rabbit with floppy ears. Leon recognized it and his eyes sparkled and high fived his little brother and got a disapproving look from Leo.
“MIKEY!!! I AM GONNA—“ Raphael and Raph stopped short of an unamused Leonardo putting distance between them. Leo lets out an aggravated breath and turns to his youngest, hands on his hips.
“Michelangelo,” he starts, sternly and thankfully, his baby brother indulges him and listens to the repeated lecture on not teasing Raphael with things he’s terrified of. He also gives the same lecture to the other dimension’s Mikey. Surprisingly, the other Mikey finds himself obeying Leonardo. Something about him seems… almost motherly. He can’t explain it. Perhaps it’s the way that Leonardo is standing or the way he’s speaking. He seems much older than a nineteen year old. Leonardo also turns and makes sure both Raphs are okay, before lightly reprimanding both Raphs in not dishing out too harsh a retaliation towards the youngest.
Leon is a bit amazed at how quickly his counterpart defused rising tension. Michelangelo says “Yes, mama,” teasingly, causing Leo to look slightly irritated and Raphael smirk and fist bump the youngest. Leon continues to curiously observe Leonardo act “motherly” to all of them, whether it’s giving Leon advice or helping him fit in or praising both Donnie’s— the younger Donnie looking like he was gonna have an aneurysm. He whispered to Leon, “does that count as parental praise?!” Leon shrugs and Donnie takes it and begins showing Leonardo several more of his designs, soaking in the praise Leonardo gives him, while looking a little concerned. The eldest in blue also hung out with Mikey and Raph, “adopting” them both as brothers, taking interest in Mikey’s art and cooking, or combatting with Raph and helping perfect techniques.
In turn, Donnie showed the counterparts Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu films. Everyone was yelling variations of “HOT SOUP!” by the end. Mikey and Michelangelo tried to combine it, but it was too much a mouthful, so “Booyakabunga” stayed the united catch phrase between the two dimensions. They swapped stories and Leo was very impressed with Leon’s strategic skills, from making the Statue of Liberty laugh— “SEE! Violence is funny!” “Raphael, get off Michelangelo!” — to using sword fish as weapons. It soon turned into Donnie and Leon trying to one up each other. Raph settled the two somewhat and told more tales of the mystic city and the villains they faced, all while partaking in pizza.
At the end of the day, Leonardo and Leon were pouring over Space Heroes comics, finally, and Leo turned and smiled at him.
“How are you feeling now?”
“Welcomed.”
Ok so, people were interested so here
Ok so
It takes place after the kraang invasion for rottmnt and at the beginning of season 1 for 12 tmnt
Portal shenanigans happens and oop, rise leo is thrown in the 12 universe
He bonds with them (even tho a certain turtle is jelly rn) and the episode where raph and leeo fight about leadership happens, and instead of raph going "i can be a better leader" he actually goes "i bet that leon over there would be a better leader"
They nominate leon as leader, and leo storms off, he meets karai, usual stuff
And the snakeweek incident never happens cause leon actually manages under stress and didn't freeze like raph did in the og episode
So leon is still chosen leader by the team (splinter is very blissfully unaware because the boys kept this between them)
The tension between leo and Leon only gets thicker, leon knows that this is not good, he knows that leo's bros are only trying to get under his skin and they don't mean any true harm, but he can sense thaat there's something wrong
One day he catches leo watching space Heroes by himself
So he scoots over
"what'cha watching?" he asked, obviously trting6to strike a conversation
Any emotions that were visible on leo's face fell, silence, then he proceeded to answer "space heroes..."
"what's it about?"
"... Its about this space captain that saves galaxies with his team"
"ooooo, just like jupiter jim!"
Leo frowns, and Leon doesn't know why so he decides to lighten it up a bit by explaining what JJ is
"it's a sci-fi space show too! It actually has the same premise of space heros where-"
"CAN YOU NOT -" the shout of leo cuts him off
"huh-"
"So what?! You're gonna replace space heros too? That's what you're gonna do?"
"jeez kid, no need to get so defensive, it's just a tv show-"
"IT'S NOT ABOUT THE SHOW—"
Silence fell heavy on the room after that, leo deciding ro break it
"it's not about the show- it's about- ALL OF THIS! yiu can't just- just waltz in and take the ONE thing i was good at and act like nothing' s going on!"
"leo-"
"Being leader was the onky good thing i had! The only purpose i was able to serve! Raph is the strongest, donnie's the smartest and mikey's the life of the team! But me?! I got NOTHING! sure i can come up with plans, but nothing as precise as donnie's, i can crack jokes but no one laughs at them like they do at mikey's, and i can pull my weigh, but raph can pick all of our weights, the only reason i train hard everyday is so i can keep up with them! And when i finally got something, when i finally have something of my own, you decided to come in and take it! Heck they never listen to me when i talk about space heros, but suddenly they're interested when YOU decide to talk about your stupid jupiter jim, and i kmow for sure that they're not fans of space sci-fi! "
Leo stops as he draws in a deep breath after dropping that shell bomb doing nothing but leaving leon stunned and speechless
"... Who am i kidding, you're the fun Leonardo, everything I'm not and everything they'd want... Of course they'd listen to you..."
Silence is invading the place again before its broken by leo as he gets up, the show he'd been watching long forgotten and abandoned
" j-just leave me alone... You got brothers that would love your company more than mine... Plus I'm pretty boring to hang around with"
And with that he retreated back to his room
Leon just sat there processing everything
These kids need to talk this out, asap
As promised for winning round one of @tmntaucompetition
Here's what Aoi/12 Leo's brothers last said to him before he died
I'll provide more context later i promise
but as you can tell, their last words to him really make the chapters of "For the Future Us" hurt even more
i’m dying

Had to draw Cheong-san and On-jo because All of Us are Dead had a death grip on my heart the whole time I was watching it, if you like zombie media I can't recommend it enough :')
Dying? Puh-lease. It’s never gonna happen. Probably.
TW: Slight gore, mentions and implied dissociation
Dripping water echoes around the bathroom he crammed himself in.
The lights were off, darkness all around as he let out cough after cough before wiping the trail of something in his mouth. Blood or drool, he doesn’t know. He’s guessing it’s the latter.
With the ache in his stomach probably had something to do with it.
Bryan chuckled and it reverberated around the empty walls, bloody ones if he wasn’t so careful. He can’t say the same about the floor though. He’ll need some hydrogen peroxide to completely clean it up.
Speaking of a clean up…
He tentatively placed his palm over the wound, warm sticky liquid began to coat it, and Bryan felt like he could puke.
He does not. Swallowed the burning vile right back and going back to survey the damage.
Bryan knew that his death left marks. Several marks. Too many marks.
One was Steve, his suit still reeked with his corpse, being inside it for more than a year.
The other was his body, littered with scars from head to toe. At times, pain ran through his body like pricks of needles even when he was just standing. Painful needles. He’s guessing it’s from getting chunks of his body chopped off to be replaced by metal.
Maybe that’s why his skin looked like it was frankensteined together every time he looked into a mirror.
The most remarkable scar was on his stomach. No kidding. It did take most of the blow than the rest of his body. And the thing that needed to be cut up the most to get rid of the mush organs. It was closed that time around though, evidence of it being pierced with a knife revealed in dark patches and lines running across it.
Now, it was not. Now…well…
“Stay away from him!”
There was a gun pointed at him. At him. At his kid. At his son while he was on the ground with scratched knees and tears in his scared oh so scared brown eyes.
And there was a grin on the bunny’s face.
Oh that bastard.
His teeth grit.
And Bryan ran. Like he never had before. With more force and speed he never knew his legs could carry him at. He struck like a lightning bolt, jumping in front of the boy’s body—
“Dad!”
He choked, spit and blood spluttering over his mouth before he was thrown back, hard.
Wheezes and coughs escape him as he rolls and rolls until he stops with his side on the ground. He moved with a choked scream, trembling to pick himself up. He breathed heaving breathes, eyes flitting around trying to find a blue cladded boy.
Small hands circle around his neck and tears fall on his face.
“Dad I…I…oh my god I’m so—“ Smaller breaths hitched as whimpers and stutters escape him, young eyes blown wide and terrified and haunted at the sight in front of him. Bryan lifted a bloody hand to point their faces right each other, away from the blood, away from the fucking hole in his stomach, and he bit a sound of pain as he maneuvers himself to face the kid.
He smiled, shakily, he could barely keep it in place. “I’m okay. I-I’ll be ok-okay.”
Fat dough tears roll down his son’s face. “You’re lying.” He cracked. “You’re-you’re ly-ing.”
He hushed him, pulling him close and letting the teary face bury itself in his chest. “Shhh…we’ll be okay. We’ll be okay.”
He looked up at the enemies in front of them, eyes narrowed, exhausted, but determined, as his free hand opened.
“Close your eyes for me, hm?”
A purple glow surrounds them and he hears screams of alarm. He does not care. “Just close your eyes, Greg.”
And they fall.
He curled himself around his trembling son, feeling a familiar yet unwelcomed surge of energy rippling through his body as time and space opened for them.
They fall and Bryan used the momentum to switch their positions with him on the bottom and his son cushioned on top.
Something follows them down, a security bot, and Bryan thought.
Colorful tables and lights. Large stages. Red curtains. Checkered tables. Starry floors.
Home. Bring them home.
And something trailed down his cheek.
He forced the universe to open up again and—
“What the—“
—his palms close with a crack and the portal above them snapped shut. A severed head fell on the ground with them.
“Holy shit!”
He’s brought back to reality when a creak hit his throbbing ears.
“Don’t.” He said to the darkness, knowing a hand was on the switch. “You don’t wanna see this.”
“Do I?”
His head shook, an unamused smile on his face. “No. You really don’t.”
Dylan closed the door behind him, the crack of light now gone. “Are you talking about me or you?”
Bryan shrugged, aware that the other wouldn’t see.
“Trust me. It’s bad.”
A hum. “Then why did you go last?”
Silence.
It rang and it echoed. He didn’t answer. He’s not sure he could.
“Don’t know?”
Bryan gave a hum of confirmation.
Sounds of shuffling got closer and Dylan’s knees hit his back. “Does it…” Cold fingers touch his back. More specifically the hole piercing through his back. “hurt?”
It throbbed but it’s bearable. It’s not as bad as it was before. “No.” Maybe that was a bad thing.
“Really?” An unconvinced voice echo behind him.
Bryan smiled, before touching his stomach again. He squeezed it. There’s no pain anymore. Shock maybe?
His hand travelled from his stomach to his chest, feeling his ribs. His heart beats slow. And as seconds pass, it gets slower.
He sighed and slumped, fingers keeping his head from falling. He had a feeling this would happen.
At that point, he can’t feel his heart beating anymore.
And in tandem, Dylan asked, “why aren’t you…dude.” He shoved him lightly. “Breathe.”
At the request, Bryan took a breathe. The oxygen entering his lungs felt odd. Colder. Foreign. And mid breath, Bryan snorted.
He stopped taking a breath and laughed quietly, his voice hoarse. “I’m not even surprised anymore.”
“Surprised with what?”
He smiled, reddish teeth bared.
“Hear my chest, Dylan?”
Silence. Then he moved closer, this time planting an ear on his chest.
A breath hitched. It’s not his.
Guess it wasn’t just him dissociating.
He felt eyes staring up at him. “You’re…”
“A corpse? Yup.”
He snickered at the irony. A man brought back from the dead was now a living corpse, still alive and kicking but medically dead as fuck.
He died. Again. Just a few seconds ago. And yet he’s still wide awake and not in that eternal rest everyone kept yapping about.
He felt his grip tighten. “Why are you so calm about this?”
“It’s not really new at this point.” Again, he shrugged. This time, Dylan felt it.
Then again, it wasn’t like his first death was restful.
Maybe that’s why he’s not surprised anymore.
“But you’re…human. You’re not even in the suit anymore.”
“And here I am using my corpse. What’s the difference?”
Another round of silence.
“So…you’re a zombie now?”
Bryan let out a laugh. “Yeah. Pretty much.”
“…geez this family is weird.” He felt Dylan get up and cupboards opening caught his attention.
That makes Bryan smile genuinely. “Tell me about it.” He gazed at the source of the sound. “What’re you doing?”
“Getting a first aid kit.”
Bryan shook his head. “Leave it. It’s not like it’s gonna help anyway.”
Dylan got it out anyway, laying it and opening it on the floor behind him. “Do you want people to see you a bloody mess?”
Bryan paused. Before nodding. “Fair point.”
With a cap opening, Dylan hummed. “So…you have any plans on hiding…whatever this is?”
Bryan thought. “Maybe. Keep breathing or something?”
Dylan snorted before wrapping his back and stomach with bandages after cleaning the wound. “And the heartbeat?”
Eyes glance at the red jacket hanging on the door knob. “Several ideas.”
And another round of silence.
“Hey Dylan?”
“Yeah?”
“If I start biting people, tie me up and burn my body.”
Bryan gagged when the bandages pulled a little tighter.
why is “ Bad Sibling Leo “ a thing for the 2012 tag ? this hurts me ):
The abused mikey trope
Yup -_- can't go a day without someone slandering the 2012 turtles
This girl is feeling SPITE
.............nani say what???? My boy???? This boy right here????
A.....a bad sibling???? Leo who literally stayed behind in a sinking Technodrome while his little brothers and friend escaped???? Leo who fought against Shredder to protect his family and ended up getting a busted knee, a cracked shell and ruined vocal chords as payment????? Leo who's canonically shown to have a massive fear of failing his brothers and ending up being responsible for their deaths because of his leadership???? Leo who mothers the hell out of his brothers since they've literally been turtle tots??? Leo who stayed with Raph when his blood was taken, who had fought a giant mutant monster for Mikey and who tried to help Donnie when he'd been out for revenge???? Leo who literally blames himself whenever one of his brothers or friends gets hurt because he's the oldest and the leader who's supposed to make sure that doesn't happen??? Leo who threatened Karai when she tried to get his brothers involved with his and Karai's rivalry???? Leo who literally supports and adores his little brothers to the point where he's willing to die for them and kill for them and who's actually done both things several times canonically via the show???? Leo who's so loved by his brothers that Raph, Donnie and Mikey have been seen to throw hands for him and who have literally grieved over the possibility of losing him because he's such a prominent presence in their lives???????
