You’ll be okay, friend <3

This is generally set over the course of a few days to maybe a few months post-invasion. Generally speaking, Casey has always struck me as a doer not a thinker. He can never sit still, And coupled with a new environment, unsettled by lack of familiarity, insecurity over not having anywhere else to go, not wanting to be a burden/wanting to help his family (even if they’re different) and fueled by a need to manage (*cough ignore *cough) his crushing grief and general anxiety. Casey does what he does best and moves… to an unhealthy degree.

And this is why I will forever mourn Ride being cancelled it had so much potential yall 😭SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND THE CHARACTER DYNAMICS AND CHARACTER NUANCES JKDMNCJWLALCNF SO MUCH POTENTIAL

The dynamic in Rise between the rest of the team and Leo is. so fucking funny. Because like you've got these three extremely talented individuals who all seem like perfectly reasonable people at first glance, right, but then if you squint hard enough you realize they're actually all batshit insane (affectionate) and the clown boy standing behind them is secretly their common sense.

Clown boy will occasionally put himself and the others in danger to Prove Himself or Prove Someone Wrong (see Minotaur Maze and the movie) but like otherwise... i think people forget Leo's overwhelmingly the voice of reason in most situations?

Raph, Mikey, and Donnie are all incredibly powerful boys with very specific skill sets. They are also, as a direct result of this, the WORST decision-makers on god's green earth lmao. When presented with a problem, Raph will smash, Donnie will blow shit up, and Mikey will razzmatazz. They will all run straight toward death with the same oblivious enthusiasm of a dog about to run straight into a screen door. None of them realize this and all of them think they are Extremely Good At Problem-Solving.

And the guy cursed with the common sense to realize this is literally the LAST person anyone would expect.

When you look closely, the entirety of Rise is actually a chronicle of Leo trying to find new and creative ways to keep this team of superpowered fools alive while simultaneously white-knuckling his Cool Fun Guy persona so the others don't realize he's secretly the Boring Responsible One. Haha, you know what would be Cool and Fun, guys? Not going after the Spine Breaking Bandit lol. Getting home before the sun goes up lol. Evacuating that civilian lol. Not telling the guy dangling me off a roof "you won't, no balls" lol.

The sacred struggle of every iteration of Leonardo is thanklessly wrangling the most trigger-happy siblings in the world, and Rise Leo has not escaped it. He just does an occasional shenanigan to avoid detection and his brothers fall for it every time.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ACCEPTANCE ❤️

AND I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE WE FIGHT AT DAWN!!

I accidentally deleted your boop 🥲

So pls accept this gifless BOOP

As an apology 🙏🙏

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I accept UR apology....however

I NOW DECLARE MY ROTTMNT OC HEATHER AND UR HEALER CASEY JR AT WAR!!!!!!

Kh x sky! I tried to incorporate more of their personalities and less of their actual outfits into the capes and clothes. So here’s a quick rundown of the thought process of each cape and outfit.

.

.

.

.

.

Sora has a very simple design for his clothing cuz well, he’s a simple guy so I tried to give his clothes more of that causal islander feel than something elaborate. His cape resembles something of a royal cape cuz let’s be real his entire motif is basically a freaking crown. .

.

Kairi has a very flowery design cuz I felt that suited her, I made her clothes very earthy cuz unlike the guys, she spend more time on the island and in my perspective much more connected to it. Hence the very earthy colours .

.

Riku also has very simple clothes cuz, he in my eyes isn’t that much of a guy to dress up very elaborately but enough to be presentable. I made his cape full of stars, planets and cool colours cuz those things are very abstract but carry a certain kind of wisdom to them. Which I felt suited Riku cuz he’s a master and he is also someone who’s a very deep thinker. So yeh. That’s it enjoy

Yeet.

GUUYSS CHECK THIS OUT

Save youself, I'll hold them back by My Chemical Romance

I highly recommend listening to the song while reading the comic btw!!

BEHOLD MY MAGNUM OPUS! Bro this took more than 2 months, in part because I was really busy IRL during one of those months, but even then this was a pretty large project for me compared to what I've done before. BUT NOW I'M FINALLY DONE! 😭 Save yourself, I'll hold them back is just such a Leo-coded song, especially if you include the whole bad timeline, I just had to make something rottmnt-related with it. I actually envisioned this at first as an animation, but I lack both the skill and motivation to animate so it became a lyric comic instead lol.

Was digging around and found this old gem haha
