#and 12!leo thought that meant Mikey was mocking him. not that leo was his literal roll model for leadership

[forgetful-nerd]

I’ve found the only miscommunication trope I like and it’s when:

Rise! Leonardo “I must play off everything as a joke,” Hamato tries to copy everything 2012! Leo does because he secretly looks up to him. But he cannot let anyone know that, so he often overdoes it and cracks jokes at 2012! Leo’s expense, which ends up making him look like he’s mocking 2012! Leo whenever he’s caught mimicking him.

While, 2012! Leonardo “the densest mf alive,” Hamato believes wholeheartedly that Rise! Leo is truly mocking him even when the excuses he gives are such blatant bullshit that literally everyone else sees through Rise! Leo BEFORE him.

#seriously when 12! Mikey was leading his brothers around dimension x he literally said he was using ‘Leo-isms’ #and 12!leo thought that meant Mikey was mocking him. not that leo was his literal roll model for leadership #smh he is dumb #tmnt #tmnt 2012 #teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt #tmnt crossover #2012 leo #rise of the tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise leo #rise leonardo #tmnt leo 2012 #2012 leonardo #tmnt leonardo
