“I won’t be bothering you anymore with music boxes. I get it now. Donnie is to April like big foot was to donnie. I’m just a mutant.”
Do you see April’s face? Before you guys start saying she’s leading him on or she’s teasing him I want you to look closely at her face.
To me its the face of hurt. Those words donnie said hurt. It wasn’t a pitty kiss. She kissed him because she wanted him to know that she didn’t deny him because of his appearance she denied him because of his actions. And once she realized he was about to totally give up on her she knew she needed to do something to give him some hope.
“Your my mutant” that line right there should tell us something. This is just my insight.
But before you go hating on her why dont you try understanding her before you join the crowd of haters. She’s a teen with a shitty life. No mother or dad. No friend that’s a girl that she can bond with. Nothing. She literally has no one but the turtles and Casey. And donnie is the closest to her and hearing him about to give up on her…..that would hurt any girl right?
I just believe that she doesn’t want to have a boyfriend right now. And honestly if Casey tries to get with her she would probably put him in his place just like she did with donnie but without the whole kiss.
I don’t know I could be wrong but I definitely know that she is no way TEASING or LEADING HIM ON WITH FALSE HOPE. April isn’t that trype of girl. She’s not a bitch. Or a tease. She’s just no I refuse to believe such things. And just like the boys I will defend her and protect her. She doesn’t deserve this harsh treatment she’s getting. Its uncalled for and completely childish. So please before you call her a BITCH, SLUT WHORE, HOE, A TEASE, try understanding her and her feelings and her side of the story.
THIS REDRAW WAS SO LAZY I GENUINELY PREFER THE OLD ONE
im in that weird period of time where im lazy as shit and finding new ways of drawing ohymgodd SEDATE ME NOW
I need the 2012 fandom to talk about Donnie's contact in April's Shellphone (i forgot what they're called sue me)
Look, this was my OTP throughout my junior high years, might as well tweak their dynamic
April’s a spunky gal [inspired by rise april :>]. She can be stubborn at times and only Donnie can talk her out of it. Once they became friends, they tend to stand or sit close to each other.
It took awhile for Donnie to realize that he has a crush on April since it’s the very first time he ever felt that way for someone.
April on the other hand was oblivious to it. She only knew about it when Mikey accidentally slipped it up in one of their convo. She never mentioned about the whole thing to Donnie as to not scare him off and just waited until Dee’s ready to tell her about it.
They’re very supportive of each other. Donnie helps her with her schoolworks while April helps him with his socializing skills and getting the stuff he needs for his projects.
For me, one of the most adorable things in Apritello is Donnie's thoughtfulness. Oh my Shell, He becomes so contactable when he calms or consoles April🥺💖💖💘💕 (As far as I can see, April doesn't mind this at all)
And in these moments, she hugged Donnie herself💓💓💞💞❤❤❤ She trusts him so so much!💝💕💖
And when she hugs Donnie with joy, it's becomes the cutest thing I've ever seen😍😍😍💗❣️💕💗
💖🌟BONUS🌟💖
Protective Donnie😏😏💕
«Get away from her!»
I COULDN'T AGREE MOREEEE!!! 💜💛💜💛💜🐢🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wanna come here and say, thanks for the positive Apritello rep. Like this ships been dear to me since I was a kid in 2012 being introduced to TMNT. There's so much negativity towards it nowadays so to see someone unabashedly love it like i do is nice. Like doing another rewatch with my boyfriend I know the writers did the ship (and other plot points) dirty, so keep up the fantastic art!
I felt really happy when I read this!🥰🥰😍😍😃😄😄💕💕 Couldn't agree more with you 😃 I do enjoy and appreciate every single Apritello moments each seasons, the TMNT 2012 grew on me and this ship INSPIRE me a lot to create 😊 From the bottom of my heart, Apritello deserves more LOVE! Thank you for sending me this!💜💛💜💛💜

Does 2012 April have flaws? Yes.
Does 2012 April actively show Donnie affection? Yes.
Does 2012 April have feelings for Donnie to some degree? Yes.
Is she 100% sure on those feelings? No.
Does she have more important problems in her life to deal with than whether or not a boy is into her? Fuck yes.
Does April sometimes go too far and overreact? Yes.
So does every single other character in the show.
Her father was kidnapped episode one, and he’s the only family member she is ever shown to have a close relationship with (her aunt literally never appears in the show she doesn’t count.)
Then her life is put in danger CONSTANTLY, her father is mutated by the people who promised to save him (their fault or not), she is forced to live underground IN A SEWER, she tries to train to pull her own weight and contribute because she’s sick of sitting on the sidelines only to be treated like she’s helpless constantly, on top of that she’s got two guys constantly flirting with her and playing tug of war with her.
April has flaws. April makes mistakes. April can be loud and abrasive and takes her frustration out on people who probably don’t deserve it.
But for peoples biggest gripe of her character to be that she’s a “tease?”
Y’all are just as guilty of reducing her character to just a love interest as some of the writers.
(Also for the “you’re my mutant” thing? She said that in response to Donnie putting himself down. He apologized and then proceeded to imply that she doesn’t want to be with him solely cause he’s a mutant.) (She also never said she didn’t like him or that she didn’t have feelings for him, she literally just felt uncomfortable with getting a gift with HIS FACE ON IT. Idc how much I like someone that’s an awkward thing to get) (let’s also not forget that Donnie never confessed to her either? She didn’t reject him cause he never asked her out.)

I actually arted yesterday! It was pretty awesome :D
Anyway, I got it into my head of ‘what if 2k12 Donnie had the 2k3 Donnie’s markings from the Ninja Tribunal arc?’
This was the result.
GLOWYYYYY.
Hey there, I just want to say, I really admire your undying love for Apritello in the 2012 show. A fandom as crazy as this needs your positivity on the pairing more than ever now that the shows over.
As for my question, feel free not to answer,
Do you think Apritello was in any way abusive/toxic in the show looking back? I don’t think this myself at all, I just want to know your opinion on this claim because I trust your opinion.
If you want some actual advice from someone who had a really hard time back when Apritello was a new thing and all these people were saying all sorts of things about April and Donnie and anyone who shipped them together to the point where I had to stop looking in the tags so I wouldn’t get deppressed or anxious... Try not to waste your time on this XD If you enjoy Apritello, find people who also enjoy Apritello and just freaking enjoy Apritello.
But to answer your question on whether I think Apritello was abusive, here’s my answer, hold on to your hats: NO.
🐲 Sketch Log 3 - TMNT Fantasy AU 🐢🐉
A little something apritello, starts off with Tribunal Dragon Donatello (yeah, I randomly drew these out from nowhere, I sucks at drawing dragon and turtle anatomy cuz I often draw humans very much)
Aaanndd....I dig April swinging her battle axe!!🪓🛡👑👀💅🏽👇👇

Apriltello Fantasy AU
An Apriltello Fantasy AU headcanon that nobody asked by yours truly, Sheilla (the writer & the artist).
One day, Donnie locked himself so suddenly (its been weeks), and the brothers think he might got sick or something, even Mikey luring him out of his room with food but his plan didn't work. April got worried sick and went to check on him, the door isn't locked.
Knightess April walking in into Donnie with his awesome tribunal glowing tattoo (ahem ^^) of course Donnie is freaking out, and blushing, feeling embarrassed, (cuz he is feeling so exposed especially in front of a human female) she is just standing there like "Oh...." and she just can't stop staring at him....she thinks he's beautiful with that :) She is trying to calm him down about it, no biggie. But, I had a feeling Donnie is hiding something else besides his tribunal glowing tattoo, he is just scared. What if Donnie's tribunal glowing skin was triggered by something? someone? Oh no....could it be April? o_0
(Guys, I did some searching about TMNT Tribunal Acolytes stuff and I've found out the turtles can freaking transform themselves into DRAGONS wtf, I am truly flabbergasted, I think its cool though! I've also seen some 12 Donnies fanart with tribunal glowing skin, gotta be honest you guys, it made him look attractiveeeee like WHAATTTT~!!! HE LOOKS SO HOT NGL!!!! ><)

Is there karai in your Au?
I still don't have your design of my Au, buuuuut I leave this karai of the 2012 version.💞
Imagine going back to Tumblr and receiving hateful ask 💀
Did you know that this was the first Apritello fanart made by the creators of the series?.
For me this is certainly a clue that they wanted apritello

Yes I am aware that they are all men. No, I do not experience a sexual attraction to them. Rather it's like they are all simultaneously my fathers, my children, and my emotional support babygirls. I want to hurt them purely to see them comforted. I want to watch them struggle mainly to see how they overcome their pains, and I want to see fluff because there is a reason I call them my trauma buddies and I want them to have good things. (I have gay ships for most of them on top of straight ships, on top of no ships, on top of ot3s). I'm sure I'll end up adding to and subtracting from this list as time passes, but this is the most current one.
Also, I will not read or write reader insert or OC-centric fics. I don't know why but they make me irrationally angry so I avoid them
