I’ve Been Getting Quite A Few Request From Supposed Artists Who Want Me To Commission Them For My Story

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

Hey Heyyy~ you have no idea what a fan I am of yours! You draw so beautifully I just can't stop looking at your drawings

я вас люблю 🥹🥹🥹

thank u!

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.

A Little Apritello Thought

Before The Power Inside Her aired I made a post about how Donnie is always reaching out to April. He offers her his hand again and again throughout the series. Not surprisingly, we see April almost take his hand over and over. But nearly every time, it’s not the right time. For example:

April reaches up to accept his help and Donnie is smacked in the face by nun-chucks.

They’re so close! But their fingers brush and April plummets into a vat of mutagen.

Donnie can’t reach her with his hand. I don’t think this was an accident. It seems that, by this point, the writers had already decided that Donnie couldn’t take April’s hand until the right moment.

And we all know what happens here. But, once again, here he is… reaching out to help her.

So, my theory still stands. When Apritello becomes official, it will be when they take one another by the hand. It will likely be a case of Donnie extending his hand to April, but what I wouldn’t give to see her finally reach out to him.

Either way, I really hope this show ends with the two of them hand-in-hand.

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.

I love when there's characters that are pair bonded and you know that wherever one of them is the other is also gonna be there.

“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.

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.

“If I told you about her, what would I say? That they lived happily ever after? I believe they did. That they were in love? That they remained in love? I’m sure that’s true. But when I think of her, of Elisa, the only thing that comes to mind is a poem, whispered by someone in love hundreds of years ago. ‘Unable to perceive the shape of you, I find you all around me. Your presence fills my eyes with your love. It humbles my heart. For you are everywhere.’”
