Revisiting / Redesigning My Versions Of Casey And April That Actually Survive During The Mutant Apocalypse

Revisiting / redesigning my versions of Casey and April that actually survive during the Mutant Apocalypse Arc in S5 ! ✨ || Before, I had Casey as a mutant badger like the antagonists of this specific Arc, but since I love him so much I thought, "Why not a mouse instead?"- LMAO

(I'm once again going to use these art posts to rant about my frustrations with 2012, because not only does this entire Arc make such little sense within the timeline / canon context up until this point in the story to me // Which is one of the biggest reasons why I dislike it so strongly- //, but if we're being so honest right now?? April not surviving makes the least amount of sense possible?? Like, the show already established very early on that she's not affected by mutagen, so she wouldn't have perished because of that + while I can see an argument for the impact of the blast causing her demise, I honestly don't understand why she wouldn't have just protected herself with her psychic powers / a psychic forcefield?? Like sure she would have been injured, but gone?? That makes no sense at all. Karai also should've survived to some degree?? She's a special kind of mutant, which gets harped on quite a bit during Season 3- So like? What was the reason for that? 💀

As much as I love Casey though, I can totally understand why this would take him out,, 😔 Lmao)

Fixing 2012 Apritello

I got inspired by @sophfandoms53 posts that you can check out here (It’s an amazing short analysis, I suggest you read it cause what they said was so true about the 2012 series) It inspired me to quickly write this.

In their post they talked about how April and Donnie’s romance was handled poorly with the Love at First Sight Trope, how they could handled it similarly to April and Donnie’s friendship in the 2003 series with how they became friends through their love of science, which I highly agree with!

If you’ve been following me, you know I think 2012 Apritello is very flawed. I’ve complained about it many times and how certain moments were cringe and could’ve been fixed. (Like that Farm House kiss, wtf was that pointless crap?). But I saw Soph’s post and it made me realize how this mess of ship could’ve been fixed and could’ve been so much better.

Have Donnie and April have no romantic feelings for each other in the beginning (meaning Donnie doesn’t fall in love with April in the first episode) and instead have it build up over time, they become friends through having similar interests and slowly it turns their friendship into a romantic connection. Best Friends to Lovers Trope done right!

Here’s how I would personally make 2012 Apriltello go:
