I think Leo holds himself back in combat.

I think the precision with which he weilds his weapons - blades designed for the purpose of dealing a swift death - without killing is testament to that control.

I think he works hard, trains hard, to overcome his feelings and think rationally in emotionally charged situations.

I think he's afraid of the damage he'd do if he didn't keep himself under a tight rein at all times.

I think he had to work even harder during Season 4 to not let that control slip. To not give up and let the darkness win.

I think the fact that he came back from the edge is proof that he succeeded.

My part of 1 palette, 3 artists collab with my friends Ribs and Joy!!!

It's been sooo long since I posted anything here, I've definitely disappeared a bit, sorryyy hehe. I think this palette is adorable; as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted something like a cool breeze

Mikey, from his cage: how come you didn’t send us any birthday gifts this year?

The Shredder:

Mikey: come to think of it you didn’t send any last year either.

The Shredder:

…whatever it’s my birthday this seems fitting to post today and i’ll post whatever the heck i want EVERYBODY THIS IS JUDITH SHE WAS MOM AND DADS HAPPY ACCIDENT (they did not know previously that mutant-alien-hybrid kids were a possibility)

after her mom gives her a traditional Salamnadrian name her dad nicknames her Judith (Judy) after the character in Artmisia Gentileschi painting

she was a very big surprise for everyone involved (Mona included)

Mona sent an urgent comm to Raph, and the hatching process was a very tenuous one (no one really knew about the viability of a hybrid egg)

my first official public jump into AU land, wee!
