2012 Donnie - Blog Posts

This has come up a lot, and I may be a minor in this fandom but this needs to be said.

Rise Fans, stop comparing rise Apriltello to 2012 Apriltello. It’s not fair to the people who like the show or the pairing. And plus, there is really no point in trying to compare them anyway, it’s exactly like comparing rise and 2012 in general. Neither one of them is trying to be the like the other. They both are trying to be something different so that different people can enjoy each of them.

2012 was meant to be a more of a teen romance perspective, while rise is meant to be a more friendship brother and sister perspective. Neither one of them is the same, and they are both trying to accomplish different things.

Besides, I’m pretty sure rise isn’t even intending to get this versions april and Donnie together in the first place, its most likley just gonna be about their friendship brother sister bond. But hey, i could be wrong.

Besides, it’s pretty shitty that fans have to constantly put down another versions characters just to assure themselves that there’s is the better version. I’m not saying that all rise fans are like that, but there’s quite a few.

So rise fans, all I gotta say is this.

Be respectful to other versions at least. All of them are really good and all brought great and different things to the franchise we love. If you don’t like one of them, that’s fine. But don’t put it down just to make other people feel ashamed that they like that version.

And look. I know you might feel the need to defend rise, but this isn’t how you should do it.

Thank you.

For me, one of the most adorable things in Apritello is Donnie's thoughtfulness. Oh my Shell, He becomes so contactable when he calms or consoles April🥺💖💖💘💕 (As far as I can see, April doesn't mind this at all)

And in these moments, she hugged Donnie herself💓💓💞💞❤❤❤ She trusts him so so much!💝💕💖

And when she hugs Donnie with joy, it's becomes the cutest thing I've ever seen😍😍😍💗❣️💕💗

💖🌟BONUS🌟💖

Protective Donnie😏😏💕

«Get away from her!»

I COULDN'T AGREE MOREEEE!!! 💜💛💜💛💜🐢🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰🥰

Wanna come here and say, thanks for the positive Apritello rep. Like this ships been dear to me since I was a kid in 2012 being introduced to TMNT. There's so much negativity towards it nowadays so to see someone unabashedly love it like i do is nice. Like doing another rewatch with my boyfriend I know the writers did the ship (and other plot points) dirty, so keep up the fantastic art!

I felt really happy when I read this!🥰🥰😍😍😃😄😄💕💕 Couldn't agree more with you 😃 I do enjoy and appreciate every single Apritello moments each seasons, the TMNT 2012 grew on me and this ship INSPIRE me a lot to create 😊 From the bottom of my heart, Apritello deserves more LOVE! Thank you for sending me this!💜💛💜💛💜

Apriltello Fantasy AU

An Apriltello Fantasy AU headcanon that nobody asked by yours truly, Sheilla (the writer & the artist).

One day, Donnie locked himself so suddenly (its been weeks), and the brothers think he might got sick or something, even Mikey luring him out of his room with food but his plan didn't work. April got worried sick and went to check on him, the door isn't locked.

Knightess April walking in into Donnie with his awesome tribunal glowing tattoo (ahem ^^) of course Donnie is freaking out, and blushing, feeling embarrassed, (cuz he is feeling so exposed especially in front of a human female) she is just standing there like "Oh...." and she just can't stop staring at him....she thinks he's beautiful with that :) She is trying to calm him down about it, no biggie. But, I had a feeling Donnie is hiding something else besides his tribunal glowing tattoo, he is just scared. What if Donnie's tribunal glowing skin was triggered by something? someone? Oh no....could it be April? o_0

(Guys, I did some searching about TMNT Tribunal Acolytes stuff and I've found out the turtles can freaking transform themselves into DRAGONS wtf, I am truly flabbergasted, I think its cool though! I've also seen some 12 Donnies fanart with tribunal glowing skin, gotta be honest you guys, it made him look attractiveeeee like WHAATTTT~!!! HE LOOKS SO HOT NGL!!!! ><)

Any support like reblogs, comments and likes are GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Toodles, loves!

Seifuku April Doodle

This is supposed to be a warm up doodle but then I got carried away, rendered the whole thing *sighs man, I sure looooove drawing girls wearing seifuku *wiggle eyebrows ( the fact I've paid more attention to her eyes than her fingers.....)

Donnie always have right. XDDD

fun fact: nothing you say will ever get me to stop shipping my OTP

I just wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed your tmnt fanart (especially Apriltello) over the years. Do you have any new tmnt art projects, or has that fandom ship sailed? If it has, then thank you for sharing your creativity over the years. I’ll always come back to your page for Apriltello eye-candy!

Aw that’s awesome, thank you^^ Alas, I have been reduced to a lowly lurker for the past few years. Can’t say I’ll never post anything TMNT related again, but I definitely have moved on to other things. I’m animating fulltime now, so that leaves me with less energy to draw MORE after work. And what little I do in my freetime is usually related to my own original story.

I do have a couple of TMNT drabbles lying around unfinished, and might post them soon... So I guess keep an eye out still! 

And as a tip, here’s a couple of badly photographed tiny sketchies that I drew recently just to check I still remembered how to draw them XD.

My perception of what happens after the worlds collide

Well, my first publication and about a ship that I like, that's right, I would like to draw more turtles here

Happy Birthday @kanayamaryam999!

Here is a present for you! I hope you enjoy the ship and the crossover!
