This moment, when Mikey took him out of bandages... he started dissapiering, only then, not when Mikey was searching for him... I wondered if he was feeling himself save with his brothers...

Part 12!

Okay. A little insight. I originally wanted to do two separate episodes for Leo and Mikey.

And at the end of his episode, Leo would die alone in the middle of the wasteland. Dramatic, angsty, all that yeah

But then I thought about it many, many more times. Leo was essentially never alone. I used to think of him as such a... kind of... somewhat abandoned and lonely character?, because I've read so many fanfics about him traveling back in time.

But canon Leo was never completely alone. Mikey was there, Mikey was with him until the very end. Mikey and him went all the way to the inevitable defeat together.

This wasn't just Leo who lost everything. It was them. Both of them. Together.

This comic really does things to my brain.

Zay being a turtle now discovers what it feels to be cold blooded ! He was really cold all the time, seeking heat in many ways until he was feeling better.

Zay's masterpost to know more about him!

After time, he gets used to it but still enjoys having a small sunbath after waking up.

Anonymous asked:

there's something so potent about mikey's spirit protecting leo and i'm going to try to put it into words here but forgive me if i don't accurately get my point across

by all accounts - mikey should have shattered along with his body. and you can see the evidence of that because his spirit is cracked and fraying and glitching just like when he was alive and pushing himself too far. and yet against all fucking odds he's holding himself together and ripping through the veil almost the same way casey is just so he can stand over his big brother and return the favor leo's been doing for years - saying 'don't touch him'

leo's been acting as a shield, but even shields wear down and crack and break because they're meant to take hits, to protect the person on the other side, but nothing in this world is indestructible - not forever.

recently i learned more about radiation therapy, the way it can target certain areas in the body with the right settings, but also the way it progressively wears you down because as much as it can help you, it's also hurting you. it feels very similar to the way leo stands directly in the path of the krang's power because 'i don't have magic, it can't hurt me' but it can because the magic was there once and nothing is ever fully erased from existence. it doesn't feel like it's hurting him, but it is. and like a wilting plant trying to sprout new growth, repeatedly exposed to blistering sunlight but never being watered because 'it's already wilting and dying, there's no point' - but there's always something beneath the soil, some remnant that toils ever upward to keep growing and living. leo's never really given himself a chance, has he? because he's been so focused on keeping mikey out of harm's way that he never stopped to dig down a little further and find those roots, still trying to take hold.

there's no way of knowing at this point in the story if leo is ever supposed to find his magic/ninpo again, but wouldn't that be something? anything can grow, given the right environment and attention. take what's left from the ruined timeline and plant him in new soil, free of warfare, safe with his brothers, and who knows what could grow.

and if mikey is there? if his family is there? you can be damn well sure they're going to water anything that looks like new growth - why wouldn't they? it's time to return the favor, after all.

Part 9!

I had an interesting time coming up with this dialog. Because originally, Leo was like, "I'll be with you." And Mikey was like, "no, you idiot, the whole point is for you to leave."

But the more I thought about it, the more unnatural it seemed to me. Such blind simultaneous self-sacrifice? Without any hesitation?

Just think about it. You're on a sinking ship and you've successfully put the people most important to you into lifeboats. But what if one of them doesn't want to leave? What if one of them takes your hand and says they are willing to go down with you because they don't want you to go through this alone? Would you be able to say no?

Part 8!

Remember the time when he could just bring himself injured to the lab and not worry about anything else?

Uh…hm

You know what the craziest part of all this (for me) is? They already have their reunion scene. The pages where Leo sees his twin again are already drawn and I'm going crazy because every update brings me closer to when I can finally post them

I don’t wanna move here, but I guess I have to with Twitter going further down the drain.

My main social media is Instagram if you’d like to see more, but I’ll only be posting my “better” pieces here.
