Shushes and lightly scolds Raph and Mikey to be quiet on missions
Stops them again with a, "Alright, enough," when Raph is forcing praises out of the youngest.
Grabs Raph's arm, stopping him from pulling out his sai and attacking human Spiderbytez and says, "Let's go."
Gets mockingly called Mommy by the dude right afterwards.
Is the first one to reach forth and hold Raph back when his brother's weapon was called Salad Tongs and Raph tried to attack. (Donnie and Mikey join later.)
Elbows his brother so he would say, "Please"
"Okay okay. Thankyou, Raphael, I will take over." (Manages to make him mellow out with just an upset pout like a child)
Worries about Raph walking away from the fight all of a sudden and gets distracted enough to be downed temporarily.
Disappointed Mom Lecture ™
Going, "Not now, Donnie," when in lecture mode.
"Hey." Stops Donnie and Mikey from beating each other up when they're pulling their silly shenanigans and then shushes them with a glare.
Shushes human Spiderbytez
"Don't worry. The four of us can handle it." (Tries to reassure)
This proud smile:
"Well, you've been punished long enough. Come join us." (If this isn't a Mom dialogue, I don't know what is.)
Gives a proud compliment at the end.
.........
Also, just seeing Raph listening to Leo throughout the episode (when he wasn't too angry that is) like a duckling following it's mother. Like, he mellowed down with an angry pout so many times!
I think I should do Leo's Mom Moments counter for every episode I rewatch now. See how high it actually is throughout the series.

NO BC 12 LEO WAS LEGIT EXPERIENCING PSYCHOSIS.
WE CANONICALLY SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR THE TURTLES TO TALK TO SPIRITS / THE SPIRIT OF THEIR FATHER. ESP IN VISION QUEST AND AT THE END OF THE DEMODRAGON ARC.
SPLINTER'S ALL GLOWY AND STUFF AND GHOSTS IN GENERAL IN THE SHOW DONT LOOK LIKE SOLID BEINGS.
LEO WAS 100% THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD SEE SPLINTER WHEN HE TALKED TO HIM AFTER HE DIED.
BESIDES, SPLINTER TALKED TO ALL HIS SONS BOTH TIMES HE WAS IN SPIRIT FORM. THE FACT DONNIE COULDN'T SEE HIM JUST CEMENTS THE FACT THAT SPLINTER NEVER REALLY WAS THERE.
I'M JUST- I NEED A MOMENT-
Here is one, the name of the girl is Chloe and this fanfic is one of my favorites and the most sweet.
I like the headcanon that 2012! Leonardo is good with children being that he is the older brother of the turtles and also that canonically he is sweet with Mickey (consoling him, letting him hug him, take care of him or laughing at his jokes).
The dudes having teatime!!
(Art is not mine- it’s from an official comic)
he’s only had his turtles for like a week but if anything happens to them he will kill everyone in this room and then himself
The girls are fighting!
Hehe Leo my beloved <3
Lol, that is why Leo 2012 is my fave.
The show just goes on and on, filling the poor guy with so much angst and not stopping haha lol
So was no one gonna tell me 2012 Leo was supposed to canonically have psychosis before the show got canceled or I was just supposed to find this out myself 🤨
This is going to be fan fiction on ao3.
ever think about how 12 Leo was kinda out of touch with reality sometimes during the space arc ?? space definitely messed and got to his head 😭
acting like his inner Captain Ryan , and then using the hologram room talking to a HOLOGRAPHIC version of Splinter ? yeah yikes .
LEO PUSHING RAPH TO SAFETY BUT GETTIN KILLED IN THE PROCESS
YOU CAN EVEN SEE THE TEAR TRACKS AS HE DOES THIS
current obsession: TMNT and a little of BNHA. Stan of Leonardo 2012 and Izuku
