I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.
Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.
Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.
And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.
All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.

I see so much bingqiu fanart with sqq seeming to barely tolerate lbh I fear new fans will get the wrong idea. so if you're thinking of reading the book, but that dynamic doesn't work for you, let me tell you: they're not like that
1) sqq is obsessed with lbh, there's not a moment he isn't thinking about lbh, the whole book is an ode to how wonderful, beautiful, cool, and perfect lbh is
2) on that note, lbh is sqq's most special little baby. He once compared him to a little sheep following him around and going baaaa baaaa. With those words.
3) besides calling lbh a little sheep, sqq also coined up the terms white lotus and black lotus for lbh, not us. He is also the one who talks about lbh's maiden heart, not us. The fandom didn't come up with any of that
4) if you see fanart of lbh crying and whining, that's not his actual personality, that's a manipulation tactic. Sqq knows this, it also works on him, he likes it. He expects lbh to act like this, because he's too embarrassed to be affectionate without a reason, and so lbh gives him the reason of "calming him" or "consoling him"
5) in fact, sqq thinks lbh's most toxic traits are cool.
6) lbh does behave like sqq's wife and has been doing it since he was 15. He enjoys housework, he enjoys showing love through acts of service
7) sqq did think lbh wanted to kill him (and with good reason) and that's the misunderstanding that soured their relationship for a while, if it weren't for that most of the plot wouldn't have happened.
Anyways, there's more, but remember that sqq LOVES lbh. He's loved him since the beginning, loves him so much he'd forgive anything lbh does. Also, he's the funniest and MOST unreliable narrator in existence.
In summary, read scum villain

I love how everytime someone else in the cast is asked to say something positive about Izzy, their response basically amounts to "I'm not saying I desire Con O'Neill carnally but I wouldn't pass up a chance to kiss him on the mouth, you know what I mean?"

it's a pet peeve of mine when ppl frame Andrew as hating Aaron and being needlessly cruel to him... bc while yes, their relationship is fractured and strained, Andrew genuinely cares about his brother and wants the best for him, he just doesn't know how to show that in a normal way.
like he might not know how to express it in a healthy manner but Andrew LOVES Aaron, like he truly just wants Aaron to be healthy and safe. It's like, his whole Thing. Aaron is one of the most important people in his life. Andrew wants him around. He'd do anything to protect him.
I guarantee Andrew wants to be emotionally close to Aaron too, he just doesn't have the tools to do that and the thought of letting someone in terrifies him. He also has no concept of what a healthy sibling relationship looks like, so he has no frame of reference to work from.

Things that have happened in the last 48 hours
Tucker Carlson fired from Fox News unceremoniously and without warning, apparently directly at the command of Rupert Murdoch. Reason isn't clear but Dominion claims with wasn't because of their recent settlement with Fox News for over $700 million. Considering all that Fox News hosts get away with saying regularly, something pretty wild has to have happened for them to suddenly fire their number one money maker and the host of the highest viewed tv program in the country, on any channel.
Don Lemon fired from CNN possibly without warning, though CNN claims they tried to meet with him. Possibly due to sexist and/or racist comments, but the reason isn't currently clear and CNN is just not wanting to talk about it
Nate Silver was laid off by Disney and ABC and is no longer part of FiveThirtyEight, which he founded.
Steven Crowder announced that he has been divorced since 2021 when his wife filed a no-fault divorce, openly bemoaned the fact that the laws of Texas allowed her to divorce him without his permission, and then publicly accused Candace Owens of trying to use his divorce to extort him for money.
Candace Owens started commenting back at him, denying the accusations of extortion and has now officially begun another far right media civil war as people are taking sides, because she took the bait. She may or may not have sent him a cease and desist and be planning to take legal action.
