Interesting How Everyone Talks About How The Rise Crew Intended To Make Leo Grow Into The Leadership

The 'okay was anybody going to tell me' meme template, reading, "okay, was anybody going to tell me that the Rise writers actually wanted to let Raph remain leader but Nickelodeon wouldn't let them or was I just supposed to find out from a random Tumblr comment myself?"

Interesting how everyone talks about how the Rise crew intended to make Leo grow into the leadership role but nobody mentions how Raph as the leader grew on them and they genuinely wanted to keep it that way but Nick forced them to make Leo the leader anyways 🤔

Here’s the comment, the blogger wishes to remain anonymous due to prior harassment:

A screenshot of a Tumblr comment, stating, "as the writers said, at first, they wanted Leo to grow as the leader throughout the series. But, having Raph as the leader grew on them and they truly wanted to keep it that way. But Nick said: no ❤️".

Like, the fact that they liked Raph being in charge this much speaks volumes about how they truly thought he was a good leader - like, why would they want to keep him as leader unless he was actually good at it, which he was? And this doesn’t even go into how they gave him a wonderful character arc in Anatawa Hitorijanai that tied to him being a leader, which just goes to show how much they adore him in such a role.

Anyways, this gives me all the validation for Raph still being in charge and him co-leading with Leo, plus the movie kept things intentionally ambiguous (I like to think that the Rise writers fought for Raph to remain in charge because they really love him that much considering there was a planned and explicit change of leadership in the movie’s deleted final scene which the Rise crew likely went ‘no <3′ to just like Nick did to them lol).

As always, fuck Nickelodeon for not letting the writers have creative freedom and for being total scumbags.

crimeboys you agree. reblog

I feel like we don’t appreciate Jed’s phenomenal communication skills enough

like, he has absolutely no issue going “when you do this, it makes me feel like this, and I don’t like it” and I think that’s freaking fantastic

he clearly communicates his boundaries, and not only sets them but explains why he has them and how it makes him feel when they’re violated

like, he doesn’t have to do that, but he does

he is so in tune with his emotions and literally has no issue communicating them

and especially considering he’s a guy (and a guy from the Wild West at that) and he’s still so in tune with his feelings and has no issue expressing and communicating them healthily?

Someone give this cowboy a reward right fuckin now

He has better communication skills than anyone I’ve met in real life, like hot damn

And like, you don’t even realize how good they are until you rewatch the movies, but once you notice them like-

holy shit

like this man knows what he’s feeling and what his emotions are so well, and just says what he’s feeling. And what makes it stand out so much is that he doesn’t just do it with positive emotions, emotions where it’s easier to express them. He does it with the negative emotions too, the ones people hate to express and/or have a really hard time expressing.

Doubts? Voices them. Anger? You will know when and why he is angry. Uncomfortable? If it wasn’t your problem before, it is now.

ZERO miscommunications with this man and his emotions

and honestly, I love him for that
