Apriltello - Blog Posts

i love characters who do the “i worship the myth i make of you” and in turn dehumanize and get wrong the object of their devotion and love. yes project a thing that does not exist onto a pedestal and kneel at it like it is your altar. this will surely not blow up in both of your faces eventually

yes they are toxic but it is because of the love. without the love it would be a lot healthier actually.

Capriltello week 

Sunday

A date in the park at night.

(I don’t know if I can do this but I’m doing anyway)

Capriltello Headcanon

Casey:

He would be totally in panic about what to wear and get help from Leo and Raph, he would too buy presents because he wants to be a good boyfriend!

He chooses the time to go on the date.

April

She would be well dressed with makeup, do the lunch part and sing for both boyfriends to show up her angelical voice.

She chooses the day too.

Donatello

He would be with pants......just...pants and his bandana, he would make the presents and play his guitar with April singing.

He chooses the local of the date.

"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.

Hey guys, I just wanna say that anyone who claims 2k12 Apritello is abusive/toxic can leave this blog the HELL ALONE.

I actually find it quite disturbing that people are misusing and casually throwing those terms out, not just because the ship they are throwing it at is pretty much the complete opposite of abusive, but more on that later. Like, thank you so much for misusing and trivialising REAL trauma and pain people go through, especially with a pairing on a cartoon made on Nickelodeon.

But look, in my opinion, you don’t know what an abusive relationship is unless you’ve been through one YOURSELF.

So stop calling out abuse and toxicity in a relationship because you may have no idea what some of these people in the real world go through.

Hey DG! Been following ur blog for a year now, and i love your positive support to this fandom :)

Do you think Apritello in 2012 was in any way abusive/toxic looking back not that the show is over?

I don’t think this myself at all, i just wanted to know your opinion on this claim because i trust your judgement.

Oh wow, thank you so much! Sorry I’m not really active on this blog anymore (though I’m still around and still compulsively check it lol). But I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my past posts! (My apologies for my lack of gifs in this post; my Apritello gifs aren't on this computer.) As for Apriltello being toxic or abusive, I wouldn’t label it as such. They certainly had their moments where each of them said or did the wrong thing, but they’re teenagers who have no idea what they’re doing, romantically or in life in general. But they learn and grow as individuals over the course of the show, and in doing so, they grow closer together.

Let’s start with Donnie. One of the major complaints I’d hear about him was that he once kinda wound up stalking April back in Season 2, which we all agree wasn’t healthy for either of them.

Now, disclaimer/PSA: Ladies, if a guy is following you around without your consent, do not try to rationalize it. You don’t know what’s going on in someone else’s head in real life. If someone is doing something that makes you uncomfortable, don’t gaslight yourself, or try to justify his behavior, or try to see it from his perspective (which you can’t be sure of anyway). Just get away and stay safe.

With Donnie, he’s a fictional character, so we, the audience, did get to see things from his perspective, and he wasn’t following her with creepy intentions. He wanted to talk to her and patch things up, but he wasn’t totally sure how to approach her, and used that time hopping from rooftop to rooftop trying to figure that out. What he should’ve done is figure that out from home while giving her space. But he’s a teenager who grew up in isolation from the world, not even watching as much TV as his brothers, and he's learning how to socialize for the first time. It doesn’t make his behavior correct, but it makes it easy to forgive so long as he learns and grows from it, which he did. Besides, there was an alien race after April. Keeping an eye on her wasn’t a completely terrible idea. He should’ve just gone about it differently.

Another complaint I’d hear about Donnie was that he still wanted to protect her, even after she’d learned to fight and control her powers, like in her fight with Shinigami, for example. To which I offered the counter-argument: what kind of jerk would Donnie be if he just stood there and didn’t care that the woman he supposedly loves was getting her butt handed to her? The writers needed to show Donnie distressed over April being hurt, but they also needed to have Raph hold him back, because it really was April’s fight. His desire to protect her wasn’t because he thought she was weak or incapable. It was simply because he loves her and hates to see her hurt. A third complaint I’d hear against Donnie was that his feelings persisted a long time. One blogger even referred to Mikey’s crushes on multiple girls as the most “realistic,” out of the turtles’ romances. It may be more relatable to that particular blogger, but it’s not unrealistic to have feelings for one person that persist a long time. I had a huge crush on a guy friend from 5th grade through 10th grade, and that crush resurfaced briefly during my senior year. Some feelings can’t be switched off at will, so what matters is how you handle those feelings while you have them. And while Donnie didn’t always know the best way to handle them, he was a teenager, perfectly entitled to his mistakes, and not toxic or abusive towards April.

Now it’s April’s turn. This teenage girl lost her mom under mysterious circumstances at a young age, then lost her dad (multiple times throughout the series) to an alien race that was ultimately after her so they could terraform the planet. She lived alone a lot of the time, and still had high school, extracurricular activities, and massive secrets to keep. That’s a lot for a minor to deal with. Now add having a big mutant turtle friend awkwardly crushing on you. Would any of us have known how to handle that at that age? Most of us didn’t even know how to handle crushes on fellow humans at that age. For much of the show’s earlier seasons, Donnie’s flirtations and near-confessions came at times when April was up to her eyeballs in chaos she didn’t know how to handle.

She got a lot of crud from fans in particular for kissing Donnie right after he’d told her he understood he was making her uncomfortable and he’d back off, especially because Donnie said after the kiss he understood nothing and he was even more confused than before.

As a fan, I love the kiss. As a grown-up, I gotta say it wasn’t the best decision she could’ve made in that moment. Actions may speak louder than words, but for someone like Donnie, words would’ve been a lot easier to understand. I think what went on in this scene was that April finally realized she did have feelings for Donnie. She wasn’t ready for a relationship with everything going on, but she didn’t want Donnie to give up on her just yet. At the start of the next episode, a still-confuzzled Donnie tried showing off in front of her again (“Check me out, April!”) and she ignored him and walked right on past, further confusing Donnie and irritating the fans. But I think April was trying to overcorrect. Maybe even she thought the kiss was going a little too far, and she was trying to make sure Donnie knew she didn’t want a relationship yet. April’s biggest crime as far as Apritello goes was just not verbally communicating with Donnie. She was young and it was a weird situation and she didn’t know how to handle it.

But after that moment, things did change between them. They really started getting closer as friends, which became a wonderful foundation for them. Donnie started to relax around her a little more, which helped her relax around him, and her feelings were allowed to develop without pressure. They care about each other, protect each other, fight for each other, and respect each other. Things were awkward between them at first, and they did inadvertently hurt each other here and there, but they just needed to grow up a little. I mean personally I don’t think anyone should even date before their prefrontal cortex reaches maturity at age 25, but I don’t think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could ever go on that long. lol

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.

I couldn't sleep cuz...

I just read the whole "fixing 2012 apritello headcanon" thingie about protective Raph caring about Donnie's silly crush on April, and Raph been thinking that April has led Donnie on all the time and that made him mad, he followed her and threatened to KILL that poor teenage girl with his sais to make her make up her mind about Donnie's feelings towards her and people in the notes who liked....supported THIS BEHAVIOUR?????!!! 💀💀💀 WTF??? 💢💢💢

I can't believe this fandom 💀💀💀 Okay, first of all, 2012 April slanders are just a different breed of stupid honestly (or they are just a misogynists) and two, STOP MISCHARACTERIZE MY 2012 RAPHAEL!!! 🚫🚫🚫🚫 My 2012 Raphael is a kind-hearted turt who won't ever harm any soul, he's a sweetest turt to his brothers, to April, and to Master Splinter. I love Raph so much as I love Donnie!🥲 Writing a hedcanon justifying a threat to kill a 16-year-old teenage girl just because she doesn't return his brother's feelings ain't gonna solve it, dumbass! 😠😠😠 Doesn't make it ANY BETTER!!!! I love 2012 April so much it hurts🥲💕💕💖💗, you guys are the ONE who needs to BACK OFF from her!! Homegirl has enough on her plate! She lost a mother, lost her father (twice!), lost her only best girl friend, Irma, and lost her only home! GODDAMNIT!!!😠😠💢💢💢 You guys JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HER AT ALL!!! You just DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT HER!!!! LEAVE 2012 APRIL ALONE!

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.

Just decided to color some of my old tmnt drawings

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!💜💛💜💛💜

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!!🪓🛡👑👀💅🏽👇👇

I don't really celebrate halloween here but Happy Halloween to you all, guys!! Stay cool and crispy, COWABUNGAAA~!!!

P.S. Sorry, due to a massive artblock and writers block, I don't write very much these day cuz today's hot weather been reaching 39 degrees (it RARELY rains 🥲🥲😭😭) and it almost impossible to concentrate and staying productive everyday 😭😭 the hot weather really does affect both my brain and my body. Stay hydrated, y'all!!🥲🥲

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.....)

Do you think canon Apritello was toxic in any way? Whether it was in April’s side or Donnies?

Short answer: Nope.

I ❤ apritello

Reblog if you do💜

fun fact: nothing you say will ever get me to stop shipping my OTP

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.
