I'm curious... Granny April will always be Granny April, but how do the turtle tots see Casey Marie? Since you said they know most of their family history, does this mean they know Casey wanted to train them for war? How do they feel about this? Are some of them still a little resentful or are they already at peace with what happened and are ready to have a relationship with her?

The tots actually know April has a daughter! Even if Mikey makes a sour face whenever she does, April talks about her kid to the babies and tells them that they have a cousin. Even if the kids are aware of her existence growing up they don't really question why they've never met Casey because they know that New York is still somewhat of a war zone and that their cousin is basically the leader of the rebellion so she's definitely busy (she's somewhat of a very stranged family member since the start lol). The kids never truly talk to Casey until they are adults though. Mikey felt very strongly about them being old enough to decide if wanting to meet her after knowing she created them for war and all.

Since Michelangelo was actually able to save the babies from a child soldier life, the kids are rather forgiving of what Casey did because in the end that didn't happen and by this time Casey actually is remorseful of her way of thinking when creating them and just wants to get to know them as a family member. It takes a bit of time though (the kids, even if willing to forgive her and move on, are still very much on high alert around her (cough Uno and Moja cough). After all, they know of Mikey's life story and feel a sort of kinship of anger directed towards her (It fades away in the end though).

Definitely not resentful but still not the most buddy buddies straight from the start.

#i feel like i need to make a timeline chart at this point #so explaining more #the rebellion wins back new york a few years before the kids turn 18 #thats actually when april starts visiting mikey and the kids in japan #so before that. casey for the first few years had no idea that april was communicating with mikey and the babies #but after casey finally decides to focus on leading the rebellion #april tells her about them (the kids and mikey).#but for the sake of mikey and his good mental health they decide that casey is not to communicate with mikey or the kids just yet #SO #after april starts going to japan is where april starts talking with mikey on how they would plan the whole telling the babies the family #lore and how they came to be #so when the kids get told #they do want to meet their cousin because. these kids didn't grow up traumatized and they are just curious of their cousin #and they know casey has no ill intentions anymore (april and mikey told them this)#it takes a few visits from casey trough the years but they end up having a good cousin relationship!#enough that mikey feels safe enough with going back to new york sometimes now that its safe (with the kids of course)#and after seeing the kids actually having a good relationship with casey marie (not being scared of her) mikey also starts to develop #the nice uncle and niece relationship they had years ago when casey marie found him.#its all coming together in the end #im so happy for them #just realized that i continue calling the kids kids even when they are told to be adults #this is just like when a parent keeps calling their kid kid even if both parties are very old #peepaw and babies au #ask
