Hi! I have another quastion about One and a Half Futures!
Obviously the main distinguishing feature between Leon and Leo (besides the scars and the prosthetic) is Leo’s short ragged mask tails. I can’t help but notice that Leon’s mask is in really rough shape overall, especially compared to Leo’s.
So my question is: did Leo cut Leon’s mask tails short himself, or have they just gotten torn over the years/dangerous missions and Leon hasn’t been able to replace them for some reason?
Just, the way Leon’s mask tails look reminds me of how sometimes soldiers will cut their captives’ hair short and choppy as a way to humiliate and depersonalize them, and with how Leo has turned the whole resistance against his younger self and seems to be trying to get him killed on frequent, dangerous missions, I wouldn’t put it past him. Plus, since the whole resistance hates Leon, I feel like beloved Resistance Leader Master Leonardo would want to be as visually distinct from him as possible.
And is Leo actively preventing Leon from getting a new mask, or is it just with how hard it is for Leon to even get *food* from the other resistance members, he hasn’t been able to get ahold of material for something as trivial as a new mask?
I'm not going to answer everything directly because I have comics planned for them. However I will provide you with a terrifyingly vague timeline.
In terms of why Leon never replaced his mask part of it is that he doesn't want to because of what it represents(there are multiple levels to that). However if he did want to the resistance would make it extremely challenging as they do all things. Leo doesn't really need to play an active role on that front.
Sorry for dying for a bit yall- I've been posting a lot of my tiktok recently, plus my Instagram aswell!!
For a hot while a trend was going around on tiktok with my mutual's of drawing future Leo looking like pyramid head from silent hill- so here's those :3
Also was trying to get better at drawing usagi so I also made this-
Here is another animatic inspired by @somerandomdudelmao 's Cass Apocalyptic Series! I thought to myself, as Casey Jr. is going through the memories of Mikey what would one of the battles look like??? So energized by such a thought, I put this together! Thanks so much for writing your comic! It truly brings joy!
Please, enjoy! Also as a reminder:
GO AND READ THE COMIC!! SO GOOD!!!
