I just realized something.
12 Leo from what I remember in canon has cried like four times.
He cried when his father died the first time.
He cried when his father died the second time.
He cried during that nightmare where he'd watched his little brothers be brutally slaughtered.
And then he cried during the Mutant Apocalypse when the mutagen bomb was gonna go off and he had shoved his brothers away to safety.
This leads me to believe that 12 Leo isn't much of a crier. It probably takes a lot to make him cry and break down fully because he's either always bottling it up inside or he doesn't want to appear weak in front of his brothers. But that just makes him crying that much more impactful because seeing this strong and confident leader break down into tears is a heart shattering sight.
And I'm betting that because 12 Leo doesn't cry often his brothers get extremely protective and hostile whenever they see him in tears. Like I'm talking about full on "Who did it???? Who made you cry?!?!? TELL ME WHO DID IT SO I CAN BEAT THEIR ASS INTO NEXT YEAR-" kind of ordeal. Because if 12 Leo's crying then they know damn well that something is up and they'd be out for blood.

The writing for TMNT 2012 Splinter was such a weird back-and-forth of "we don't know what to do with this character, let's just kill him again" and the most invigorating, emotionally provoking exploration of a traumatized man grappling with his own literal loss of humanity, trying desperately to accept his animal side without drowning in so much despair that he is completely overtaken by ferality.
I am so... so mad that the "let's just kill him again" side of the writers room won.

Every verse's characters to the IDW turtles: "What do you mean your Saki isn't evil?!"
Every verse's characters to the 2003 turtles: "What do you mean your Kraang aren't villains?!"
Every verse's characters to the 2012 turtles: "WHAT THE FRICK DO YOU MEAN YOUR BISHOP IS A GOOD GUY?!"

Edited some tears on them to match the storyboards. bc GOD if there's on thing I'd change about the 2012 animation it's that they refused to animate tears??? like this scene is literally shot-for-shot from the storyboard, except they removed the tears. sick and twisted.
Storyboards under the cut

Letter ask meme!
@vaudeville-moggie
M: when it rains/snows/storms
E: sharing a drink
Fandom: TMNT (VIY AU)
Timeline: sometime in a recovery period
(This could potentially count as a spoiler I guess? Definitely later than the point the story is at now though lol)
(Also I did not reread to fix possible mistakes so sorry if things are odd or something!)
___
The first crack of lightning struck an outside tree and charred the thinner sections of it. April gazed out the window of the farmhouse and watched blackened leaves disintegrate into the night. She glanced over at Casey, who was asleep on the couch. Outbursts and accidental clawing have worn down the furniture quite noticeably. Screws and boards and stuffing could be seen wherever she looked.
One of those cartoons with an odd amount of fourth wall-breaking foreshadowing was playing on the tv. Mikey was seated on the floor, slit-pupil eyes trained on the illuminated pixels. He rocked back and forth slightly. He’s been quieter since…the incident. Perhaps self conscious of his lesser control over his hissing of the letter ‘s’. Or…something else, anything else, really. It wasn’t like he was going to open up anytime soon. April looked at the floorboards in front of his spot and took note of the scratches dug into the wood. The once-smooth floor tended to feel the consequences of the more exciting series’s.
The surveillance of everyone couldn’t be ignored, but exhaustion was beginning to creep up. April yawned and ran a hand through her hair. Looking at Casey again, she decided to let him sleep. She trudged to the kitchen with coffee on her mind. A torn blue bandana laid on the table, a clawed hand resting tamely on the cloth. “Hey, Leo,” April greeted the mutant, who nodded in response. She studied his slouched form. “Why don’t you get some rest?” she suggested.
“I, egh, I need to train more. I need to better control this.” His resting hand curled around the torn mask.
April frowned. “Cmon, you need sleep, too. You can’t heal mentally or physically if you don’t give yourself time to rest.” She studied her friend’s expression and faltered upon noticing the lasting resolve on his face. “…Will you at least let me make you some tea?”
Hesitantly, Leo nodded, and asked, “Do we have the lavender tea?” April walked to the cupboard and gave a thumbs up upon spotting the little labeled box. She pulled out a semi-translucent tea bag as well as a canister of instant coffee grounds. She placed down the metal canister but held onto the tagged bag. A hand found the container of evaporating melatonin pills and discreetly slipped one into the leafy mixture. She shook it slightly to hide it and placed the tea bag on the counter with the canister.
Upon placing the kettle on the heated stove, it didn’t take long for the metal device to whistle with steam. April turned off the burner and set two porcelain cups on the counter. She carefully poured boiling water into each and added the two mixes. While waiting for the tea to steep she stirred the coffee grounds around to speed up their assimilation with the water. After a few minutes the soggy bag was removed and thrown out. Leo watched as April placed the two cups in their respective spots. He softly gave a “thanks” with a small nod of his head and proceeded to sip the herbal liquid.
Thunder crashed overhead with a loud reverberating boom. Leo jolted with a startled gasp. Steaming tea spilled onto his hand. His yelp fused with a hiss and he aggressively shook his hand to get some of the hot liquid off. Scales became more visible across his body and his arm seemed to shift in form slightly, his pupils shifting to pinpricks as momentary pain and panic took hold. April shot up from her seat and grabbed a paper towel. She wetted it under the sink faucet and hurriedly placed it where the tea was burning Leo’s hand. The mutant looked up and they held a gaze for a few seconds. Leo relaxed a little and glanced away. He removed the damp paper towel and simply shed away the reddish and mildly burned area.
Quietly the two continued to drink their beverages. April glanced up from her cup occasionally to check for further agitation, or, alternatively, tiredness. Thankfully only the latter appeared to be the case. Leo seemed to be calming down and relaxing. She got an idea to get him to voluntarily let himself rest.
“How about…” she started, pausing to sip her cooling coffee, “…you do some meditation? Like Master Splinter did. A healthy, rested mind, er, makes a healthy ninja.”
Leo slowly blinked at her and she grimaced as she realized it probably wasn’t a good idea to mention the parental figure right now. He gently placed his cup on the table. “…He…would, most likely want us all to do…slower exercises,” he agreed, then quickly added, “in- in moderation, of course. We still need to train, be- be fit ninjas, and all-“
“Yeah, I understand,” April replied. She really wanted her friends to allow themselves a break. They all needed to recover. Leo had such a problem with just…chilling. She watched as he finished his drink.
“I’m gonna go upstairs. See you in the morning, April.”
“Mhm, good night.”
The human watched her mutant friend place the cup on the counter and make his way up the stairs. She sighed and closed her eyes, listening to the soft pattering of rain smacking the farmhouse’s roof.
Things will be okay.

TMNT 2012 SPOILERS!!!!
TMNT 2012 season Four really ended with every main character either killing someone or thinking they killed someone
I watched this TMNT as a kid but stoped watching somewhere in season three, so while watching it now I really wasn’t expecting it to get as dark as it did.
First, Leatherhead Drowns Rahzar, which is fitting since they were both Mikey’s “first friend”, but it really sets the tone for the rest of the finale
After Splinter is killed by the Super Shredder April throws him off the roof, Believing she killed Shredder
But he survives, landing in a trash compactor, which Casey turns on, for a short while he believes he killed him
The team breaks into the villains hideout
During their fight with fishface Raph destroys his breathing device and his robot legs leaving him suffocating on the beach
During their fight with bebop and rocksteady Donnie hacks the lasers and points them back at their enemies, Mikey fires. The camera shot focuses on the turtles while they imply that bebop and rocksteady are dead
Leo almost kills Tigerclaw with an arrow, but he escapes 
Then finally, Leo faces Super Shedder in their last battle, Leo decapitates him, taking the head home to his brothers
Wtf

Alright, cool! Okay, here goes: The 2012 series showed the turtles being able to cope with Splinter’s passing and still function as a family. But in episodes like Same As It Never Was, or the 2007 animated movie, the four brothers don’t really work as strongly without each other. Almost like if one falls, so do the rest. I just think it make some really good drama if there was an iteration where Splinter and one of the Turtles died but they still try to make it work and move on. Thoughts?
I feel like there's a BIG difference between the turtles losing Splinter and the turtles losing one of their brothers.
Splinter is older and a mentor, and there's kind of an expectation that parental figures will die before you/your siblings (granted not in such a traumatic way as in 2012, but still). In some versions I'd even argue that the relationship between him and the turtles is somewhat tenuous, and occasionally more like mentor-student than a father-figure.
I feel like losing one of the brothers is a much different scenario, one that would be much harder to come back from. As Leo said in the 2003 version, "If one of us falls, we all fall" and not only do I think that would be true for ALL iterations of the turtles, I feel like it wouldn't be the same if any one of them were to be left out of the dynamic, whether due to death, separation, or other instance.
I tend to be not a fan of scenarios like this in the TMNT franchise (at least permanent scenarios; one-off episodes or "what-ifs" are fun on occasion), because, like I said, it would simply not be TMNT without all four of them together.
So I, personally, wouldn't like an entire iteration where one of the turtles dies or leaves, because then that kind of defeats the purpose of the story in my opinion.
And IF one were to do a scenario or a one-off situation like that, then I would absolutely demand there be appropriate weight placed on the after-effects of it. One of my issues with SAINW is that it was not talked about at all after it happened. If one is going to include that drama, include the fallout of that, and the appropriate recovery (or lack-thereof if you wanna go there) after that!

03 Raph livid: UGH MY IDIOT OF A BROTHER HAS OFFICIALLY GOTTEN ON MY LAST DAMN NERVE-!
12 Raph: Let me guess, would this idiot brother also happen to love the color blue and who's a major dork and is one of the most selfless idiotic people you've ever known and loved?
03 Raph dumbfounded: Holy shell yeah that's him, wait how did you even know I was talking about Leo????
12 Raph: Cuz I too have said the same thing that you'd just said many times in the span of 18 years. My Leo's just as stupid as your Leo and it's infuriating.
03 Raph: God damn right it's infuriating! All he ever does is try and protect us and he ends up getting really hurt or nearly dying and he always brushes it off like it's no deal-!!! Ugh the last time I'd felt this livid was when he'd went against the Shredder by himself!!!
12 Raph going slightly pale:.........
03 Raph catching on: Oh fuck no kid not you too???? Jesus Christ how bad???
12 Raph: Damaged vocal chords, a cracked shell, a busted knee and he ended up in a three month coma? How bad was yours?
03 Raph: Damaged mentally, has scars scattered all over his body, gets aches and pains every blue moon, had gotten a bit of PTSD and ended up in a coma that lasted for nearly a day.
12 Raph and 03 Raph staring at one another: Is this friendship?????? Omg????????? Traumatized buddy??????
