i honestly want to share my thoughts on apritello bc i’m tired of people hating on it …
i personally don’t think they’re toxic. i used to, during my teen years. i had stopped watching the show because i had nothing to watch it on (didn’t have cable). and everyone online was complaining about apritello like it was the worst. so i took their word for it and didn’t really look into it myself.
but rewatching it recently has made me reflect on it more, and honestly?? while i recognize that they made tons of mistakes in their relationship from season 1 to mid-season 3, i can’t really hate either of them for it. they were KIDS. and kids (and heck, even adults) will make mistakes when dealing with romance for the first time. what matters is that they come to an understanding, meet in the middle, and grow to be better. and watching the second half of season 3 onward, i was convinced by their actions towards each other that they had grown! both as individuals and as a duo. donnie backed off while still caring for her and supporting her, and april had his back too, letting him know when he was too much and showing him care and affection when he needed it.
Tumblr media
actually there’s a quick scene in season 4 episode 1 where in the background, right after casey and donnie hug april in celebration, april gives donnie a look and he backs away apologetically. and then she smiles at him and they continue to celebrate. she’s giving herself boundaries for both of them, and he’s respecting that.
(kinda hard to see but here it is in the background)
Tumblr media
i think the main reason that people feel so icky about them is because there was no scene where the two of them talked about their relationship on camera.
i personally don’t need to see them talk to believe that they grew closer based on their actions alone, but i can see why it would confuse people. but i do believe they talked off camera.
the writers obviously wanted to focus on other plot things instead of on the drama that is apritello, and i blame a lot of that on nickelodeon thinking that they’ll lose viewers if they show a human and a mutant get together.
the only time in the second half of the show where their relationship reaches a danger zone was the whole aeon crystal situation, but i don’t blame april or donnie for what happened. april obviously couldn’t control herself very well, and donnie was trying to respect her boundaries while still making sure she was okay, which proved difficult.
but they got through that. donnie forgave her and never gave up on her, and it was through her affection for him that she beat za-naron. actually even before she was completely possessed, there were moments when she had unbridled rage (toward shinigami), and donnie was the one to take her out of it.
Tumblr media
and from then on they’re almost constantly next to each other.
i do wish we could’ve seen them like,,, actually get together on camera, but i am basically convinced they were dating during season 5.

i can’t get over the episode heart of evil because the entire time donnie’s going through his villain arc, april, his best friend, just lets him lol. she doesn’t say anything about it. doesn’t even look concerned.
since i headcanon that they were dating in season 5, i think it would’ve been so funny if april actually supported his villain arc. i mean we know she’s way more unhinged than she lets on, so maybe she was on donnie’s side but didn’t say anything bc she didn’t want to argue with leo about it lol.

i’m literally begging y’all to stop calling april a pick me girl
she didn’t ask to be different. she’s shown in-show to be a bit insecure about being different. she tried to fit in. but it was near impossible with all the alien and mutant stuff happening to her.
plus she never begged casey or donnie to noticed her. they jumped into her life without her even trying. she hated that they fought over her and VERBALLY TOLD THEM TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES.
she wasn’t trying to get their attention. they already liked her.
did she flirt a bit with casey? sure. flirting isn’t a bad thing tho.
did she gain feelings for donnie over the course of the series? sure. but she wasn’t begging him to chase after her. she seemed to be uninterested in a relationship for most of the series.
april is not a pick me girl so stop calling her that

random hot takes i have cause i’m bored and emotionally dead:
-i literally cannot stand any leo ship other than leolotus, especially if it involves 87 leonardo. i’m sorry but it has made me physically nauseous before. shipping as a joke or a small crush on someone else is fine but pls don’t bother me about other leo ships it’s too much for me. ((i won’t hate u if u ship other ships dw <3 i just ask not to be bothered by it)
-i’ve already ranted about this so i won’t go into depth but i hate the 2012 season 4 finale (moreso requiem than owari but owari still bothers me). i think in general? i think 2012’s writing is mindbogglingly bad after they leave the farmhouse in season 3, but that doesn’t mean i don’t still enjoy a lot of it. just don’t expect me to drop the issues that bother me. season 1 is my baby tho and i’ll defend it to my dying day.
-2012 apritello is good. they just had to go through character development. my only issue with it is that their entire situation was pushed to the background so ppl only notice their development if they’re paying attention to april and donnie the whole time (like i do).
-1987 treats its girl characters better than the other shows which is shocking.
-capril sucks. i have literally never liked it or was just neutral to it. i got close to liking them in idw but then casey became a jerk.
-that said i don’t like shipping casey or april with the turtles with the one exception of 2012 apritello.
-i think 03 casey and splinter are annoying.
-2012 casey is best casey :p
-2012 michelangelo pisses me off. he has some good lines here and there and sometimes has fun dynamics with other characters but in general he’s just an ableist representation of adhd and he literally never faces consequences for his mistakes and instead everything works out for him so he never grows. like literally he stays the same throughout the show. also i dislike his actor sorry :p and his entire dynamic with renet just ruins renet as a character and it bothers me.
-i forget rise exists most of the time tbh. it’s good but like. i forget. also rise leo and donnie’s writing bothers me anyway-
-1987 content needs to sTOP mischaracterizing raphael PLS PLS PLS. “michelangelo is the jokester and raphael groans at his jokes” NO!!! raphael is the jokester so he gets upset when his brothers make stupid jokes bc that’s HIS thing !!!!!! and he’s not angry in the same way other raphaels are except in red sky when he was angry that they became villains in society’s eyes!!! but otherwise he’s emotional and whiny but not angry!!!
-leonardo is best when he’s a dork. he wants to do the right thing but will be a frickin idiot about it but - oh wait buddy don’t do that no wait put the sword down hold on-
-the turtles should never have blue eyes but especially not michelangelo.
-ramona is great but it’s okay for them to just be friends too. either way they slay <3
-lotus blossom and jhanna are the most under appreciated characters in tmnt give them some respECT-
-i think howie should come back. not bc he’s a good character i just wanna see what would happen.
-i hate koya. so much.
-mondo/mikey makes me rlly uncomfortable. it feels exactly like leo/venus since they mutated in the same place so mondo feels like a long lost sibling …
-this is literally just my take and i don’t expect others to agree but like. the 1987 team is the only version of tmnt where i feel like every turtle is equally likable and works as a unit best. like i like 03, but i don’t especially get attached to mikey? he’s good but compared to the other 03 turtles he’s just not my fav. same with 2012 but more extreme since it has rlly good raph, donnie, and leo,, but like i said i really dislike mikey. and then i’m not rlly attached to the rise turtles except mikey. the 87 team tho is all great.
-while i rlly love rise casey, i think waiting to reveal she was casey was a bad idea. i think she should’ve been introduced as casey or should’ve been a different character,,,
-i like red sky but the last episode was a disappointment,, also where are all my fav side characters 😭
-the turtles should never be tall they will always be lil guys to me. they should be under 5 ft plsssss
-not a hot take just a hc that was recently revealed to me and i think it’s genius: the 5th turtle kirby (like from 90s concept art) should be the donatello clone from 1987. like hello??? that’s genius pls watch the clone donatello episode
-if i see yall reducing mm april to just be shipped with leo i will end yall.
-lotus blossom is an interesting character even without her connection to leonardo and i wish everyone would notice !!!!
-not a hot take but rob paulsen should be in every tmnt thing we should make it tradition.

wild to me that "they're just doing it for attention" is supposed to completely illegitimize a person's behavior. like yeah dude if they are doing insert crazy unhealthy thing for attention they probably have deep seated problems with it. probably had a traumatic lack of it during formative years. or maybe were never taught how else to ascribe themselves value. doesn't mean you have to like or put up with that person but it's not a silly non-issue. attention is a real need and when people are doing unhealthy things to acquire it that seems like a deeper concern not a cause for dismissal.
