Incorrect Canon 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Quotes

I really feel like Leonardo from the 2003 iteration of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, especially during his Christian Bale Batman era, was the most likely to do this diabolical double-knee drop to an unsuspecting Purple Dragon or Foot Clan member:

Mainly because Leonardo was known the most, especially in this iteration, for making the most cunty yet graceful moves in combat.

And now I desperately need fan-art and head-canons of this.

Random Person: “Do you still think that Leonardo and Usagi should have gotten a rematch in the Battle Nexus considering one was poisoned mid-match?”

Me:

Here is the third chapter:

Hello everyone!

I am so excited to share my first work in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom with you! While I am a huge fan of the 2003 iteration, I have chosen to set this story in the 2012 iteration, as it fits best with the storyline I have envisioned. But do not worry—if you enjoy this, I will be posting a story set in the 2003 universe later on, so stay tuned!

This story is a loose adaptation of the City Fall arc from the IDW comics, tailored to fit the 2012 cartoon's setting. Here is the link and summary:

Title: Little Dark Age

Summary: After a devastating defeat by the Shredder during the Kraang invasion, Leonardo is captured and subjected to the dark machinations of the witch Kitsune. Bewitched and scarred, Leonardo is made to believe that the Hamato Clan is the architect of his suffering, convinced they are responsible for years of psychological and physical abuse. When Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo return to New York, they are horrified to find their presumed-dead brother now a vengeful and far more powerful adversary as the chunin of the Foot Clan.

Incorrect Canon 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Quotes

Leonardo: Can someone give me an example of a mistake made on this mission?

[Raphael immediately raises his hand.]

Leonardo: Thank you, Raphael. That’s a very good example.

Raphael: Hey! I didn’t even say anything yet!

Leonardo: You didn’t have to.

Hello! I hope you're doing well!

I was wondering, what is your opinion on Raphael?

Hi! Thank you for your ask. I am doing well, though this semester is already proving to be a challenge! I hope you are doing well, too.

It is no secret that Leonardo from the 2003 iteration of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is my absolute favorite. Honestly, I could write an entire dissertation on why, but that might be a topic for another day. That said, Raphael has a special place in my heart, too. When he is written well, he goes far beyond the "hot-headed one" stereotype-there is so much depth and complexity to his character that I find fascinating.

One of the dynamics I particularly enjoy across different iterations is the relationship between Raphael and Leonardo. It is often seen as just two alpha males butting heads, but there is so much more beneath the surface. It is a complicated, deeply-rooted bond that shows their love for each other in unexpected ways. And in my opinion, the 2003 series captured that dynamic best.

Thank you again for the ask! My first ask one actually!

Stoppp, I love this movie so much!!! But now all I can think about is who all lives and dies in this universe?! Because if both In-ho and Gi-hun do not make it I will shatter. And now I have a new draft document 📃

Zombie apocalypse inspired by Train to Busan with In-ho, who is still a police officer alongside Jun-ho and Gi-hun, who is a single divorced father. Gi-hun has been divorced from Sang-woo for months now; only during the proceedings did they find out Gi-hun was pregnant with their second child, complicating things. In-ho and Gi-hun are neighbors, and In-ho is down bad, though they remain friends because Gi-hun feels guilty saddling him with everything. Well, In-ho has to take the train to Busan with Jun-ho for a case and runs into Gi-hun (who is heavily pregnant at this point), who is taking Ga-yeong to be with Sang-woo for the weekend, though she objects heavily.

Gi-hun and In-ho sit together, third-wheeling poor Jun-ho (who is completely done with his love-struck older brother at this point). Then the zombie virus breaks out on the train, and In-ho and Jun-ho take charge, leading the uninfected survivors. Well, when the survivors have to change trains to get to Busan, Gi-hun is bitten protecting Ga-yeong. In-ho is DEVASTATED, as is Ga-yeong, who has to be dragged away by Jun-ho. In-ho cannot kill Gi-hun and instead handcuffs him to the sink in the back of the train and tearfully rejoins the other survivors at the front.

Well, later, In-ho, who has been receiving updates on the virus on his phone, learns that it has been discovered that pregnant people, because of their endorphins, are resistant to the zombie virus and only experience flu-like symptoms, meaning Gi-hun and his baby will likely not turn. In-ho, without hesitation, races to the back of the train to rescue Gi-hun, and when he reunites with him, looking at the man he loves terrified and teary-eyed, still handcuffed to the sink, he sobs and finally kisses him. Then he practically carries him back to the front of the train with the other survivors and is just like: I am your husband now. This is my child. 😤

ANON, U JUST DELIVERED AN OSCAR WINNING SCRIPT ON MY INBOX!!!

INHO CLAIMING GIHUN'S BABY AS HIS OMGGGGGGGG 😩🤧

This is absolutely stunning, and I’m beyond honored that my fanfiction inspired this! Seeing one of my favorite quotes, “Must I always suffer in your place,” woven into the background makes it even more heartbreakingly gorgeous. Thank you for bringing this to life so beautifully!

Do you love having your heart broken? Then you might enjoy the fic "Sometimes Dead is Better" by @bangs-coffee-fandoms-unite as much as I did! I had to draw some two AM fanart for it so it wouldn't haunt me (Just kidding, it's still going to haunt me :'D) Seriously, though, it's so gut-wrenchingly good. Go check it out!
