MY VERSION OF APRIL !!

ughhh I rlly don't know how I will do april. obviously I already have a direction I wanna go with her design like you can see there but it's kinda hard to choose.
I honestly thought I wouldn't like the tracksuit and skirt one the most but it's kinda fitting I think-
And i still want to make her kind of similar to 2k12 April but also not? Idkkk
=CASEBRIELLE SHORT:003=
"It's Christmas in New York City, and many of the Hamatto family's friends are getting together to spend the holidays with them; April gives her boyfriend Donnie a complete science kit, while he gives her an electric minibike he built for her, Mikey is happy sharing pizza for everyone helped by Shinigami, Karai is with Leo praying in front of a picture of the late master Splinter, Raphael shares moments with the Muta-animals, but Casey Jones is sitting on the couch, just enjoying a cup of hot chocolate.
Gabrielle: Hey Casey, how are you? Merry Christmas
Casey: Gabrielle, glad you could make it, Merry Christmas to you too.
Gabrielle: Why are you alone?
Casey: Well actually, I was invited…. I had some relatives coming to my house on my father's side and….
Gabrielle: I'm sure they started to criticize you indirectly while they were with you, your father and sister?
Casey: Hey, how did you find out?
Gabrielle: well we've been friends for a long time and… I know your problems like you know mine… I know you shouldn't have to go through what you're going through right now… but people are selfish and you don't choose your family.
Casey: thanks for understanding Gabe….
Gabrielle: take off that long face, I have two presents for you… here.
Casey: Wow it's a new field hockey stick and…. it's oak!!! that's great, Gabrielle, but I don't have a present for you….
Gabrielle: spend this day with me and that's good enough for me.
Casey: hehehe, I will… wait what about the other present?
Gabrielle: you close your eyes and come with me, don't open it, don't cheat!
He listens to her and feels how she takes him away, it only takes a few seconds.
Gabrielle: ready, you can open them!
Casey: well y…. where is the famous gift?
Gabrielle: look up jones….
Casey looks up and sees that a mistletoe is on top of the two of them.
=CASEBRIELLE SHORT: 002=
"With end-of-term exams coming up, Casey is a nervous wreck, as he has a direct warning from the field hockey team's coach that if he doesn't pass the exams, he'll be cut from the team."
April: now you are toast Jones, what are you going to do now?
Casey: I don't know redhead, could you help me study?
April: I'm sorry Casey, but I had to ask Donnie to help me study, besides you don't pay much attention when you get help.
Casey: what am I going to do? if I don't do well on these tests….
Gabrielle: Hey guys, how are you? What's wrong with you Casey?
April: He has to pass the tests, if he doesn't want to be kicked off the field hockey team.
Gabrielle: Damn! Are you really sick?
April: He almost got kicked out of the year even at recess.
Casey: thanks a lot redhead, that's funny haha….
Gabrielle: I know someone who can help you, here.
She hands him a piece of paper with an address on it, Casey takes it enthusiastically.
Casey: Can this person really help me study?
Gabrielle: Be there at 5:00 p.m. sharp, I'll let him know.
Casey: thanks blondie, you're great!!!!
After class and just as Gabrielle told him, Casey arrived at the address written on the paper, it was a very decent house, when he rang the doorbell once, he was immediately answered.
Casey: good afternoon …. Wait, Gabrielle, is that you?
Gabrielle: That's right, I'm your new tutor.
Casey: I wasn't expecting that, but how?
Gabrielle: I have experience in tutoring students, so come on we have a lot to do, I know you are smart and you will pass your exams, let's go.
Casey: wow blondie, thank you so much.
=CASEBRIELLE SHORT: 001=
"April decides to be Donatello's girlfriend, even though it seemed impossible, the two finally got together. her friends applaud, even Casey Jones, even if he's a little uncomfortable."
Raph: hey man, are you okay?
Casey: Of course I am! Good old Casey Jones is always fine, Raph, do you doubt that?
Raph: if you say so brother ….
"Months later in the lair, Raphael and Casey are playing video games".
Raph: man I congratulate you, I'm surprised how you have taken with maturity, that April has decided to be Donnie's girlfriend.
Casey: come on man, give me credit! you forget that I'm Casey Jones, a lone wolf, a nocturnal villain who fights crime in New York City, a warrior who is indomitable, there is no girl who can tame me, oh yeah!
April: Hey guys, what's up? look I brought a new friend of mine to meet her, her name is Gabrielle.
Raph: nice to meet you Gabrielle, my name is Raphael, but call me Raph with confidence.
Gabrielle: wow, nice to meet you Raph and you are….
Casey: nice to meet you blondie, I'm Casey Jones….
And without realizing it, Casey Jones started to have a new love interest…
shaking
That night he suddenly went to his room after the night round, he was tired and with many anxieties that made his chest he didn't want anyone to see his state, he didn't want anyone to start asking him any nonsense related to how he was. They had been together for months, almost a year, but something strange was happening, something was not right, her behavior with him was not the same as before, she was not so affectionate or sweet with him, his nerves were eating him alive, his lips were dry, he ran his tongue over them, taking advantage of the space between his teeth, he waited for the dial tone, until she answered.
April: Hello?
???:Hello April, it's me
April: oh...hi...how are you honey?
????: Well, I would say good, how are you?
April: I'm...I'm glad to hear it
From the tone of voice she had, she had quickly deduced that he was not the one she was waiting for, or rather, she didn't want him to be the one calling her, she took a breath of air to continue.
???: I wanted to talk to you about something very important?
April: sure... tell me what do you want...
???: I want to know if it's true
April: what .... thing?
???: you know what I mean? ....
April: no...I don't know....what are you talking about?
???: April I know you very well...you are not good at lying...and I know....when you lie to me....
April: I swear....I don't know....
He couldn't believe that she was denying it, his girl, his girlfriend, his dream of a woman, was doing that to him, he couldn't stand it anymore, he started to tremble, he knew he was hurting himself by asking her that, but it was time to get out of doubts.
????: I know you look like with him ....
April:....
???: you are quiet now aren't you?
April: I.....listen...I don't know.... how to tell you....
???: just do it
April: I never...asked for this to happen to me......
???: but you let...it happen...right?
April: I struggled...believe me.... I struggled as hard as I could....
???: but what happened?
April: he won.... my heart...what I feel for him....was stronger than I thought....
???: meaning you love him?
April: yes....I love him....but I love you too....we gave each other a chance....as you wanted....so much....and it was a beautiful time....
???: please don't go on.... don't talk like it's going to be over....
April: but it's just that....what do you want me to tell you?....is what I really feel...believe me I didn't mean to hurt you....I know that you love me so much, that we both live and share a lot together....
???: and we can keep doing it together....please....
April: I can't do it....I don't feel anything for you anymore....I see you as always....as my best friend....how did you find out?
???: the night we went to that rock concert, remember I was late?
April: yeah...
???: I was late and I was looking for you....that's when I saw you, you were kissing him in the dark, the two of you were holding hands?
April: I see ....
???: you cheated on me...how could you do that to me?....
April: forgive me.... it slipped out of my hands....
???: what do I do with my heart now? I gave it all to you....
April: it will heal.... just give it time....
???: what do you want to tell me?
April: that I can't be your girlfriend anymore.....I've decided to be with him.... I really love him....
???: please April.... don't leave me....I love you so much....
April: I know....and forgive me....for not being by your side.....I can be your best friend like we were before....
???: how can you ask me that? i can't accept it....please....don't leave my side....
April: sorry....I can't....I can't....I have to go......
???: April.....don't.....remember all the beautiful things we have accomplished together....
April: I'm so sorry.....I'm going to hang up....
When she did that, he just started crying on his bed, he covered himself with the pillow, he was crying very hard, but he was choking that pitiful and painful cry, he didn't want his family to know that he was heartbroken, on his side April, went up to the roof of her house and started crying too, she felt the worst of the girls, she knows that he was good to her and that he loved her, but she could not continue by his side, in that moment she heard that someone was approaching her, it was the boy for whom her heart was beating with full force, but even so, she looked at the floor sitting down, and between tears a smile for him. ...
¿¿¿: but what do you have?
April: finally...I told him about us...I'm the worst.
¿¿¿: please don't think like that.....sooner or later.... should I know?
April: I know but...God I was crying behind the phone.... I felt like a monster...
¿¿¿: you're not....but....it's my fault....he and I had this strong rivalry for your heart....when you accepted it....I was dying inside...but I accepted it...
April: but it took me a while to realize how much I love you.....and it was also when I realized that.... what I had with him couldn't work...
¿¿¿: you know? be it with him or with me.... I just want you to be happy....
April: see? that's what I love about you, your selfless love.... is something beautiful in you....
¿¿¿: but it's my fault he is crying now, the only monster here is me because..... I took my friend's girlfriend....
April: if that's what this is about.... then we are both to blame.... but deep down I knew that if loving you wasn't right..... I wouldn't do the right thing...
¿¿¿: you've always been persistent....that's what made me fall in love with you....well one of the many things....
April: I'm worried about .... how the guys will look at us now ....
¿¿¿: they will understand....creeme.....they will in time?
April: I hope so....I just want to be happy with you and make you happy....
¿¿¿: I know love, I want the same thing....even though, I'm afraid of losing you.....because of life...
April: you won't lose me....because I will fight not to lose you.....never forget something....
What thing?
April : that you are not just a mutant.....that you are my mutant, Donnie....
She got up from her place to hug his neck and kiss him with all her heart, he did the same, although both felt bad, it was a lighter load now, to be able to enjoy their love, neither wanted to hurt Caesy Jones feelings, but they had to do it obligatorily, they also knew that their friends would see them bad at the beginning, but with time they would accept that this way things were decided by their feelings, that starry night was of pain, sadness, but above all it was of love and reconciliation.
A fanart based on my favorite series and a fan art by Eclpisa (April O Neil) and Meteora (his daughter)
Credits to their respective authors (from tmnt and svtfoe) and to the author of the fan art Neko-Mirchan.Deviantart
can’t believe i forgot to post these but I MADE TMNT IDW ACRYLIC CHARMS!! available at my VK shop
my and @unscapedgoat tmnt 2012 space arc rewrite designs i’ve been hoarding up in my gallery for months (the turtles were finished today though)
next au post will be about honeycutt specifically
Barbieheimer? No, we didn’t get that one in Russia…instead we got Barbie Mayhem 💖
PHEW!!! Finally finished this Mutant Mayhem mixed media painting I started working on a week ago! I really liked this movie, especially its artstyle, so I tried to do something similar but with my own style! Reblogs are HIGHLY appreciated because I spent A LOT of effort into this 😳😳😳
GUYS I watched the «TMNT: Mutant Mayhem» trailer and IT WAS SO GOOD OMG I’ve already wrote a post about it in my native language, but here I am making another post about my thoughts on the trailer just to let absolutely EVERYONE know how much I like this upcoming movie!!! First of all - the visuals for this film look INCREDIBLE!!! Everything looks like an actual painting, you can literally take a screenshot you like, print it, and place it into frame - and I’m telling you, it’ll look like a fancy picture on your wall!
Now, secondly…*inhales* AAAAAA LOOK AT DONNIIIIEEEE, baby boy baby, my son, my little meow meow, HE’S SO CUTE!!! I think in this iteration of turtles Donnie is actually the youngest…SO I’M GONNA PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS he’s way to precious to get any hate from this fandom!! 😭💖💖💖
Other designs look good as well, from the looks of it the creators were going for a mix between 1987 and ROTTMNT…which looks pretty cool imo! I also think we should be calling this iteration «Tweenage Mutant Ninja Turtles» - because can you really look at these dorks and tell me they’re 15?? They’re so obviously 13-14, so their blorbo designs with big goofy eyes, glasses, and braces really suit them! Also I know that many certain people don’t like Mutant Mayhem April (*cough* I wonder why *cough*) but, personally - I think she looks very cute as well! Sure, she looks shorter and chubbier, but I get 1987 April vibes from her…again, as I was saying earlier - it’s like this movie is a mix of ‘87 & Rise! very nice :3
As for the other stuff…I’m gonna be honest - not a fan of the jokes in this movie so far…but! I allways appreciate story first, designs and jokes second, so if the story is gonna be any good (and from how many villains and side characters we see in promos - it’s at least gonna be entertaining 😳😳😳) - I’m definitely checking this out in cinema with my mom and/or friends!! And, of course - I absolutely WILL draw some fanarts, because as I was saying I LOVE THIS VERSION OF DONATELLO!!!
Meet the artist and kin & fave list I made because today’s my 17th birthday! If you want to see an English translation for meet the artist just ask me, and I’ll make one :3
old gayshit (in every sense) I’ll just put everything here
who gonna be the april to my cass
summer is lowkey ending but not for me. be grateful if your weather is below 95° F because some of us are not so lucky.
in my sweaty superhell existence, i drew some fully rendered summer capril fullbodies. because i like to torture myself. i also like to think casey's not so suited for hot weather as opposed to april.
the sillies ever actually
Aprilnardo for Valentine’s Day I forgot to post here (based on that one tottmnt teaser scene)
TMNT 2012 with a s/o on their period
Note(s): I wrote this with a ftm Reader in mind, but there are no gendered pronouns or gendered titles used.
Characters included: Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michealangelo, April O'Neil, Casey Jones.
Leonardo
Listen, as much of a leader and confident guy you may believe he is, he is still a mutant turtle who does not get periods and only knows because it was mentioned in a show once and he wanted to know more. He will not understand, beside the basics of 'bleeding down there, intense hormones, and sometimes unbearable pain depending on who you ask.'
If you're someone who goes through a lot of physical pain expect an overbearing mother figure now in your life, he will literally be there with all the advice he can find that'll help.
With the limited resources in the lair and the fact he can't exactly go shopping himself, he'll ask April or Casey to buy period products or pain relief tablets for you if you complain. Even if he's awkward and shy about asking, he doesn't want to burden you by making you wait for a reply over text or have to get up, the fact it helps you makes it worth it.
Soup is also good, he knows how to make traditional teas and soups for you, with great difficulty, and help from Splinter, that will lessen your stomach cramps. Though if you get cravings he may be a little less helpful, it's hard to get ingredients when you live in the sewers and are hated by most of the world.
If you like company he would stay off patrols once or twice, but he's fairly strict about his schedule and won't go too far off it, even if he wants to help you.
If you don't get much pain, he's still by you in his free time and asking questions, you're literally bleeding he's never going to stop worrying.
Whenever you talk to him he basically soaks in the words like a sponge and uses it to help you, a one off 'yeah, this food helps.' and he's on his knees begging for April to buy some.
Raphael
Raphael... I love him, but he needs help when it comes to this. I imagine most of the other turtles at least know the basics, Michaelangelo is the worst but he still knows what a period is, but Raph just never really cared enough to learn.
He knows that a period happens... But that's about it. So, if you're in intense or even a small amount of pain and or wake up with blood around you, he's freaking the hell out, he thinks you've been stabbed or something or maybe he accidentally hurt you with his sais as you slept.
If you explain he's sort of like 'yeah whatever, how do we stop it from hurting you?' and then he never leaves your side.
You run out of products? Step out the way Casey and April, he's sneaking in the shop and thieving- I mean, he's putting on a trenchcoat and hat to hide his turtleness, and buying the products like a good mutant ninja turtle should. But seriously, he doesn't trust the two to buy the right ones, he gets the exact brand right somehow, even if you never tell him what one you want.
He pushes the exercise side of it, even if it doesn't help much, exercise is something that helps him so when he hears it can help he doesn't research further. It takes you explaining that it not only depends on the person but the exercise for him to pout and let you lead.
Donatello
He'd probably panic for a while but then tries to look through a science lense, like, oh! You need to level your blood sugars in this week, these excersises will help you but these won't, make sure to keep your stomach warm so you can lessen the contractions and pain.
Gets a bit sad if you're the type to be more distant and want alone time on your period, especially if you don't like loud noises. Donatello usually has you watching him while he works on his science stuff, so when you aren't it's a demotivator.
Ends up completely abandoning his work just to follow you around like a sad puppy, tending to your every need or waiting outside your room for a text from you if you need something.
If you want him around he's a lot more easy going, if you don't mind sitting in the lab with him while he works then he's all for it, of course he's checking on you every once and a while, and will talk when he wants to, but it comes from him wanting to help you.
If you have health issues caused by your period or your period is made worse by your health issues he's helping you a lot, he knows a lot about human anatomy and how to help ease pain, especially since April and Casey started hanging out with the Turtles more often.
He has a whole section of a diary dedicated to you, and that includes your period, when you're due, what food you've told him helps you, what foods you've said make it worse, what pain you usually describe as, etc, etc.
Michealangelo
Michaelangelo is 100% the type of guy who just goes along with what you want because he wants to help, he probably knows that you bleed, you get mood swings, and you're in pain. And that's all he needs to know.
He's watching you for your entire cycle and just PRAYING nothing bad will happen, gives you all the food you want, no matter how unusual. This can sometimes make it worse, because cravings aren't always foods that will help you, and he feels really really bad if that happens.
He tries to hold himself back on just giving you whatever you want, but when you look up he just folds and starts treating you like royalty.
He can't make a lot of normal foods, he can make pizzas and maybe a decent sandwich, but besides that he's a bit useless, so he tends to buy you microwaved dinners. Unless you don't like them. And then he's just lost.
Mikey asks Donatello to help on the more science level, like no, chocolate will not help, that's a dumb myth, it will only make your sugar levels higher and increase pain, plus blood flow, and nobody wants that.
Cue Mikey closing the oven to hide his chocolate pizza he was making for you.
When buying or storing products, he tends to sort of forget how expensive they are, he'll go in with only a couple of dollars and fall to the floor in utter shock upon realising that is not nearly enough.
But he may or may not steal a few, he saves the city, he gets no money from it, this is completely justified in my opinion.
It's not like he tells anybody anyway.
April O'Neil
She understands so much, whatever you need she'll get for you within minutes.
If your cycles match up April and you will have days where you just sit down and cuddle together, usually at her apartment or in the lair.
She's most likely the one who goes shopping for stuff since she's usually shopping for the turtles as well, though you can come along or even do it yourself if hers is painful and yours is bearable enough to go and vice versa.
If you don't get much pain or mood swings, she makes a few jokes on how she wishes she was you, but if you ask her to stop she will.
Understands the pain that might come mentally, if yours is really bad during the month she even ignores the Turtles to help you out. Unless you want to be left alone in which case she can do that as well, but she will text you every few hours, this is probably happening with or without your period given how dangerous being friends with her is.
If you have intense pain, she's extremely worried for you and will try to help in any way she can, especially if you have other issues that impact your period and or your period causes you other issues.
Casey Jones
Once he gets it Casey doesn't care for the exact details, all he needs to know is when he needs to be involved. Then he's actually really helpful
Usually gets too embarrassed to buy pads for you so he asks April to do it for him, if she refuses he awkwardly makes his way over and will be red the entire time he buys them.
He will begrudgingly be mushy if it means you'll feel better, but also reluctantly leaves you alone if you prefer being alone, he's complicated when it comes to you.
Tends to try to make you laugh or smile if you get sad, but fails to realise that the flood gates of hell spill over with unholy blood whenever you do laugh too hard.
If you're someone with less blood and or pain he'll be asking once every few hours if you're okay, every month is the same, he never learns that you're going to be fine, or that you don't experience too much pain, but it shows he cares.
If you have intense pain he's next to you always helping and at your beck and call, he's fine with skipping out on time with April or the turtles because he doesn't want you in pain.
This has been in my drafts for a little over a year, I've only just got the strength to finish it (｡ŏ﹏ŏ)
This blog needs more reach and I forgot to tag last time so GO LOOK AT IT
Okay real question before I get sidetracked by how pretty you all are again
What's your guys' opinions on april? A close friend, family, etc?
“She is family, after all we’ve been through together, she’s essentially my daughter.”
gals being pals (with bats)
Sneak peak 2-!
Behold the scenes that kept playing in my brain that made want to do this entire thing in the first place 😂 it’s not done obvi but these are the main bits lol
I’m really proud of myself it turned out way better than I thought haha.
.
for some context have this:
APPPRRILLLLLL O’NEEIIILLLLL!!!
Ap’s got Force Manipulation cuz she’s a force to be reckoned with! Ehh? Eyyy?😂
.
No but for real? I gave April Force Manipulation cuz it seems closest to what she can do in canon. Eg: the way her Bat kept rebounding around and off Shredder during the season 2 finale.
So Force Manipulation it is! Also Ngl I like to think that at her peak April was capable of redirecting multiple incoming/falling projectile’s without ever having to coming into direct physical contact. Cuz she got good at extending the range of her control. ie: Her future self.
*GASP a double update?? I swear I had more story driven/lore things planned but this grabbed ahold of my brain and wouldn’t let go. So Friendly reminder that Junior is most definitely a gremlin. Cuz you can’t convince me that Mr “I was raised by the Hamatos, O’Neil and by one very feral Casey senior” did not come out of it the slightest bit unhinged. It’s just a little.. subdued rn. But mark my words once he gets settled in.. hehe the P!Hamato fam are in danger. LET MY BOI CAUSE CHAOS, he makes doctor delicate touch proud XD
.
Timeline wise this takes place much further down the line (maybe a year or 6-8 months after the invasion??) where Cj feels more settled in with the P!Fam/ is no longer constantly bogged down by grief/survivors guilt/ feeling that he betraying the older part of his family by loving and feeling settled with the P!Fam(not that he doesn’t still feel it but ya get what I mean, he has more good days than bad days). Hence his more jovial (chaotic) behaviour and his Ninpo being back.
This is generally set over the course of a few days to maybe a few months post-invasion. Generally speaking, Casey has always struck me as a doer not a thinker. He can never sit still, And coupled with a new environment, unsettled by lack of familiarity, insecurity over not having anywhere else to go, not wanting to be a burden/wanting to help his family (even if they’re different) and fueled by a need to manage (*cough ignore *cough) his crushing grief and general anxiety. Casey does what he does best and moves… to an unhealthy degree.
