Based on my headcanon on how the turtles would react to stress because IM A FUCKING SUCKER FOR THIS KINDA COMFORT COMICS OKAY!!! SUE ME!!!
To recap the stress response headcanon briefly:
Donnie stress stims (scratching his arm, they give him fidget toys so he doesnt hurt himself)
Mikey hides in his shell, away from harm. You know, turtle istincts and all haha
Leo gets nausea and gags a lot (any strong emotion does that really)
Raph has a delayed panic/anxiety spike later on, because he wants to always make sure his brothers are safe first. THEN he'll crumble
based on chapter 109! wooo
So I headcanon that post-rottmnt-movie Leo's a part time cane user like me!
And I also headcanon that:
[ Item Key/Explanations ] + [ Extra Text/Overlays Off ] below the cut
Key (damn I hope this image makes some sense and its not too messy):
The cane itself is used as a mobility aid and can assist in combat if needed in a pinch. edit: *note, for practicality, these are mainly reserved for situations where Leo does not have other options. Most of the time, it is a normal cane :)
Handle of the cane twists off and with and can switch into a blade
A panel with the MAD DOGS symbol pops out - this can holographically project messages and be used for communication
Bottom part of the cane can turn into a stun gun. AKA: Shocky shocky electric violence <- he'd use this the most
It can also fold/form out into a grappling hook shape — hold down a specific button and aim it like a grappling gun!
Handle can form into a sharper, hooked shape w/ a harder exterior
Twists the handle end a different direction and you get a glass breaking tool
Yes, you can use this cane design for your fanfics/fanart/AUs/etc. (no pr0sh;p content please) but please please please credit me!
TYSM for all the support on my first Leo cane post :)!!
Been loving all the old men Leo crossovers happening in the fandom so I caved. Poor Replica Leo is just trying to avoid his less than emotionally stable, slightly older counterparts. His therapist says he’s making great progress and hopefully he’ll at least have some of his shit figured out before his inevitable demise. Surely no good would come from associating with them.
Let’s be honest though. He’s just as bad, just has the benefit of not having everyone dead in his life just yet.
Also gotta credit all these amazing people

The gorgeous Tiresias animatic by @somerandomdudelmao rewired my brain and I couldn’t rest until I made this. What if— Mikey’s prophecies were delivered by the ninpo manifestations of his brothers? Wouldn’t that be jolly?
all video games should have a “I’m shit at video games but I’m curious about the story and I don’t want to watch a let’s play” mode
