Monster: I Can Snap You In Half Like A Twig

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.

What would the first "morning after" look like for each of the turtles and their s/os?

LEONARDO:

*covers up s/o so they can sleep while he goes and makes tea*

RAPHAEL:

“…..” ❤️❤️❤️

DONATELLO:

*light petting* >u<

MICHELANGELO:

*smooch* *smooch* *smooch* *SMOOCH* *smooch*

I freakin drew this lil comic over a year ago - and never posted it. Hecc. Life imitates art.

I wish I had enough energy to draw more that people would like but aw man. it’s hard being so tired all the time :| 

Y’know, one of the best things about the ship that is Apritello is that Donnie is entirely aware of how slim the chances of it actually happening really are.

Donnie’s smart, obviously. He knows the odds are stacked against him, that his appearance is not exactly appealing, and how unlikely it is that April would ever feel the same.

And yet, he hopes.

She is the one person that can derail him from logical thinking, that can make him take something that he would normally see as impossible and believe that it could happen. He has an emotional investment in it, and even though he certainly knows it would be nothing short of miracle if she liked him back, he still wishes for it to happen. If he saw the same odds in some sort of experiment, he would consider it fruitless, but in this, he has faith.

Even in the 2k3 series, Donatello makes himself content with watching April start a relationship with Casey, because it makes her happy. It is obvious that his feelings for her go deeper than friendship, but he still just sits and watches, even though you know it must have been hurting him pretty badly.

It just kills me, and I really hope that Apritello is at least acknowledged in some way in canon in 2k12, because I don’t think I can stand watching Donnie’s heart be broken.

Have you ever thought about posting that post about Apritello not being toxic/abusive at all? I know the reason you said you wouldn’t was because you didn’t want to cause problems, but imo your analysis/interpretations are hardly ever wrong, and you pretty much know what your talking about with this topic.

Well thank you very much, but the post I made was less about Apritello specifically and more about people mislabeling things as abusive overall. It was more of a rant on my part. It was one part sharing my own abuse story and one part condemning people who see some thing they don’t like and then label it abusive and because of that, actual abuse isn’t taken as seriously as it should be. 

If you would still like to read it, let me know and I can probably rework it a little bit to include a deeper analysis about Apritello specifically.

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!

Raph: Where's Donnie? April: HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND! Raph: ...I never say he was? April: Oh. Haha, awkward...

crying why is he so pretty
