The Sir David Attenborough That Lives In My Brain: Being smaller-than-average presents an added challenge to foraging ... but necessity is the mother of invention. A little creativity turns a baguette into a tool, and voilà--

A: wtf is that

B: it means she’s not attracted to people in that way

A: bro you can’t just not pick a side, that’s crazy

B: nah, it just means she’s spectator mode

A: OHHH IT MAKES SENSE NOW

You wanna ship canonically aspec characters because “aro/ace people can still date/have sex”? Okay, then. LET’S DO IT.  I wanna see an aromantic character with an alloromantic love interest. I wanna see that confession of undying love and the moment when the aro character says they will never feel the same way—not romantically.

I wanna see the asexual character with their allosexual partner. I wanna see that moment when the ace characters tries sex with their partner for the first time because they want to make them happy only to realize that they are 100% sex repulsed.

I wanna see the two demiromantics who don’t even know if what they feel is romantic attraction, but they adore each other and just want to make healthy snacks together and destroy each other at Mario Kart.

I wanna see the two aces who love sensual affection and are figuring out what they define as sexual or not.

I wanna see the romance + sex neutral aroace who happily and consensually does whatever makes their partner happy…but their partner still struggles with feeling undesired. 

"With the world at stake, the only thing of importance is that you complete your mission, no matter what you have to sacrifice... or who."

You can visibly see Leo's thought process, being "...shit- really?" To "I'll give up my life if it's necessary."

And I kinda get how he would think that...

But I don't think Splinter AKA Hamato Yoshi, who has already lost his first family, would tell ANY of his children that they should sacrifice themselves for their mission.

No man, I see this as Splinter telling his eldest and most responsible son that he can let some people die.

He is fully telling him he has permission to kill his enemies. And Leo interpreted it in the wrong direction.

If Splinter found out Leo tried to sacrifice himself, he would break Leo's leg twice over before Shredder ever got to him. That's his son, those boys are his babies and he'll be damned if he loses another family.

I don't care what people will say, I'm standing by this hc:

“wow I created something beautiful today”
