Four days ago, I've made a friend, an 2012 apritello fans on xtwitter, named buridanshaku and drew me a cute drawing gift of 2012 apritello, she's the sweetest, kindest person ever 😊😊💕💕💯💯👇👇
Art credits goes to buridanshaku 😍😍😍 Her adorable art cheered me up during tough, difficult times 🥰🥰🥰 really warmed my little heart!💜💛💜💛

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.)

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!!!! ><)
Any support like reblogs, comments and likes are GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Toodles, loves!
Seifuku April Doodle
This is supposed to be a warm up doodle but then I got carried away, rendered the whole thing *sighs man, I sure looooove drawing girls wearing seifuku *wiggle eyebrows ( the fact I've paid more attention to her eyes than her fingers.....)
💛Ballerina Girl💛
✨️ So this was a drawing request from a discord buddy (ClassicThomas) and he requested I draw April in a ballerina outfit so~ There we go! HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE
✨️ Pretty simple, pretty demure~
fun fact: nothing you say will ever get me to stop shipping my OTP
Piles of Doodles
Just sharing piles of doodles and expression studies🎨👩🎨✏ my model is my knightess April O'Neil 👑⚔🗡
Some cringey pencil doodles✏👇
ALL I GOTTA SAY IS....
DONT TELL ME APRIL DOESNT LOVE DONNIE JUST AS MUCH AS DONNIE LOVES HER, THAT GIRL CRIED OVER HIM AND DESTROYED HER DEMONS FOR HIM THEN BROUGHT HIM BACK TO LIFE.
ALSO CASEY REALLY SHOWED THAT HE DEEPLY CARES ABOUT HER, BUT HE ALSO CARES A LOT ABOUT DONATELLO.
Just thought that needed to be cleared.
I watched the episode for the third time today, and all I need to say is, wow, that was beautiful. Right now, I need fanart, I need fanfics, and lots of AMVs.
@peterdicicco You did such a great job, especially with Casey, he was such a good supporter, and gave the right emotions at the most needed moments.
Was it just me, or did anyone else heard voice change of Donnie in the beginning, like it still sounded like Rob, but just his voice kept getting deeper in certain moments of the episode, it kept throwing me off lol.
Like everyone else, I loved it when Raph mentioned Donnie, it was a powerful moment, and the flashbacks of my purple masked turtle was….well the feels were there.
I was actually very surprised they killed Donnie, and yes, they killed him, she tore him into bits, idc what anyone says, in my eyes she killed him, but with just her powers she was able to bring him back.
Speaking of that moment, the way April ran to Donnie…They just need to kiss already dammit. Haha, sorry Apriltello feels are still in me xD But that two was a powerful moment, it really showed how much she loves Donnie. And yes, I very much believes she loves him more than a friend, and no this isnt just me saying this cause im a shipper, but just the way she threw herself into his arms and cried over his demise, I dunno maybe its just wishful thinking, but i really believe she loves him, she just doesnt really realize that yet. They are like freakin Ron Stoppable and Kim Possible okay. xD
What else can i mention that I already havent?
The animation was beautiful. The colors, the way it just moved so naturally. Especially the way they did April’s hair. Usually some shows would half ass that kinda thing but nope, they really made it to where it was actual hair.
WE SHOULD MAKE A PETITION TO HAVE APRILS HAIR LIKE THAT FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW! JUST SAYING LOL.
The voice actors were excellent! Mostly Mae’s she made it to where I could just feel April’s agony and suffering, along with Rob who did excellent with Donnie as he usually does!
Now Ive been seeing more negativity about this episode, and thats fine, if you dont like the episode, its prefectly okay, but please understand that this episode wasnt going to be, darker or written out like a one hour drama would be, why? well for one, its limited time, for two yes its a kids cartoon, and the way they killed Donnie these guys are already pushing the boundaries, so this episode wont be perfect, and itll have its negatives, but lets try to focus on the positives, and just feel the emotional stuff that this episode implies.
And again it is perfectly okay if you do not like this episode. That is your choice, this was just my little in put for it.
Also I should touch on this since many are mad at Raph for suggesting to put April down, we all know Raph, he just saw his little brother get blown up into dust particles, so of course his head wouldnt be right to judge, they all werent, except for Mikey, but if you really look at him, he was in a heated spot too before he realized who he throwing his anger, sorrow at, so remember all of these guys just watched a family member die, the other member is getting possessed like the freakin exorcist so of course they wouldnt think to quickly. Just another input of mine.
I really hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did! It was a great way to celebrate the 100th episode.
CONGRATS @peterdicicco FOR WRITING YOUR BEST EPISODE YET!

But please be respectful towards me and others, if you relinquish hate, it will not be read and will be deleted.
I just wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed your tmnt fanart (especially Apriltello) over the years. Do you have any new tmnt art projects, or has that fandom ship sailed? If it has, then thank you for sharing your creativity over the years. I’ll always come back to your page for Apriltello eye-candy!
Aw that’s awesome, thank you^^ Alas, I have been reduced to a lowly lurker for the past few years. Can’t say I’ll never post anything TMNT related again, but I definitely have moved on to other things. I’m animating fulltime now, so that leaves me with less energy to draw MORE after work. And what little I do in my freetime is usually related to my own original story.
I do have a couple of TMNT drabbles lying around unfinished, and might post them soon... So I guess keep an eye out still!
And as a tip, here’s a couple of badly photographed tiny sketchies that I drew recently just to check I still remembered how to draw them XD.

Hi guys and I'm not dead I've just been inactive due to artistic blocks and school, I'm just bringing doodles that I made today.
I decided to give up the Au from scratch to start again, the truth is that I was not liking the way it was turning out.
Happy New Year friends!🫂💕
A poorly drawn photo from April I still have help from Artistic Blocks.
I have met artists on this platform and the only three things I will say is that THEY ARE GREAT, THEY DRAW BEAUTIFUL and THEY HAVE INTERESTING AU.🙏
Of all the drawings I've done, these are my favorites! >_< (I'm reposting them so I don't have an empty profile)
Now wait 1 year for me to be creative again. 👺
