Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Donatello Tmnt - Blog Posts
I just realized that if written well, Renet and Donnie would be a great couple. Nothing much would have to change about Renet. She can still be a clumsy and nice girl but with a love for science, especially time travel, and Donnie would be so curious and ask her questions about how time travel works and check if his theories were accurate. Renet could also ask about his results on mutant science since it’s not as well documented as other sciences like biology or chemistry. Basically Nerdy Friends to Lovers
I think that would be really cute! 😁
Somebody correct me here-
So I've be watching tottmnt, right? And they introduced Angel. I'm feeling the weirdest sense of deja vu, wracking my brain trying to remember where I know that name from- and then it hits me. The 2003 show!
Casey has a little sister in most versions- and I always thought her name was Angel, I was wrong about that.
I think that this is so cool when the show take characters from older series and make them characters in the newer ones!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003+2014
So I decided to redraw one of my favorite scenes from #tmnt2012 cause the way they hold onto each other is too cute and I also love their expressions so I couldn't resist it 🥺💚
And here's a lighter version cause I liked this one a lot too ⬇️
To anyone who would like to know I LOVE TMNT 2012 and I'm a bit addicted to it right now so I plan on making more artwork of them soon 💚
Don't say that, really...
AND IF PEOPLE WANT TO BE WOMEN/MEN/THEM LET THEM BE! BUT THAT DOSENT MEAN THAT THEY ARE NOT GAY/BI/LESBIANS/PAN/DEMI/POLY/HETERO/GREY/+!
Yes, I have found that somebody (THIS IGNORANT GIRL ;-;) has said that on the internet. Not proud 😡.

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.
“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.
No matter where you go there will be some 2k12 april haters anyway who are hiding there ass in a bush and complaining why april is a bitch why she didn't choose donie!! She was obviously playing with both of them ! Such a shitty character..... and you know what's so funny about them? They are like wow april you must accept the feelings of a sewer mutant turtle who is always stalking you without any good reason just because you seem so perfect in his eyes so forget about your shitty life your shitty dad cuz he's helping you!!! If someone help you in a bad situation in your life you must fell in love with him too cuz he helped you!!! :/
It was obvious that april wasn't ready for a relationship her dad was missing and even when they returned him so many shit happened that she cant focus on a fucking relationship specially an odd one !! It was obvious that she was seeking for some normality when she sticks to casey jones but she cant do it when she loved donnie deep down in her heart!! And its just fucking nicks fault for not making it obvious for some stupid haters oh no oh i forgot haters are gonna hate anyway they cant shut there fucking mouth and think for a minute........
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.

The Apritello Kiss
I didn’t make my own Tumblr account until mid-November and my posts weren’t searchable until over a month later, so I’m a little late with posting my thoughts on different episodes. Naturally, I’ve been dying to talk about the kiss in “A Foot too Big.”
I saw another post shortly after the episode aired that perfectly illustrated my thoughts and feelings on the kiss, but once I got my account and tried to find the post so I could like or reblog it, I couldn’t find it. Basically I know I’m not the first one to post these views on Tumblr, and I’m not trying to be unoriginal. I just am unoriginal. I don’t think April was trying to lead Donnie on. She just didn’t know how she felt about him until she realized she may lose him. Earlier in the episode, we see her feeling totally awkward about getting the music box, and while we pretty much all agree the music box was adorably sweet, it really is the kind of present you give to someone if you’re going steady. They weren’t in a relationship. Maybe if it didn’t have a heart on top, or a picture of him inside, or if he didn’t stand there awkwardly smiling and not saying anything after he gave it to her, she might have been more receptive. Also, as she told Casey in “Within the Woods,” their families are gone and/or mutated. She’s not in a very relationshippy place, and that’s ok. When Donnie said, “I won’t be bothering you with music boxes anymore. I get it now. Donnie is to April as Bigfoot was to Donnie,” her face didn’t look happy or relieved. She looked kind of sad.
I don’t think it was pity, though. If she gave him a pity kiss, it’d probably be on the cheek, not the lips. If it were pity, she would not have called him “my mutant.” April just wouldn’t do things like that if she didn’t mean anything romantic by them. I think this is the moment when she discovered her true feelings. In “The Invasion,” she shut Donnie down when he tried to tell her how he felt. I can think of two reasons why she reacted the way she did. 1. She probably didn’t want Donnie to say anything that he wouldn’t say if they weren’t about to be killed. 2.She may have still been hoping for a normal life (as she did in “Mutagen Man Unleashed), and maybe she was trying to convince herself that Casey would be more likely to give her a normal life. At least he’s human. She was more touchy-feely with Casey in “The Invasion,” but in all previous episodes that’s not the case. She always brought Irma along on their would-be dates (“Of Rats and Men,” “The Wrath of Tiger Claw,”) and she’s disturbed by his physical advances (“Plan 10,” “A Chinatown Ghost Story,” etc.) I think April has slowly come to realize that her life will never be “normal,” and at any rate, Donnie seems to have a lot more moral fiber than Casey. I think the kiss demonstrated that she did not want to loose the chance of being with him. It was a, “Look, I’m not ready to be your girlfriend, but please don’t give up on me,” kiss.
So why did she walk away? She’s probably still kind of shy and insecure about liking a mutant (even if she’s one herself). Besides, she’s only 16; she’s not going to handle these things perfectly. Why did she ignore Donnie in “Buried Secrets,” when he told her to check him out? She’s always had the attitude of “Not now, we have stuff to do.” She’s just task-oriented. She may have also felt a little embarrassed about the kiss. Plus, it may have been one of those “Give ‘em an inch an they’ll take a mile,” situations… and she knows how she feels about him now, but maybe she thinks the kiss was a bit too much and in that moment she was trying to over-correct. Some people think the kiss was a mistake on the writers’ part and that now it’s like it never happened. I don’t think so. April’s behavior in every episode since the kiss has shown an increased warmth and affection for Donnie, aside from that “Check me out, April,” incident. She even kissed him on the cheek again in “In Dreams,” and gave him a neck rub in “Race with the Demon.“ Poor Donnie’s never been good at figuring out people’s intentions on his own, so hopefully after the last four episodes, he’s begun to understand something. We may not have seen them dtr afterwords, but we can see that the kiss scene was clearly a turning point in their relationship, and not just April leading him on with some pity kiss that’s been swept under the rug.
