Something I really like is that April’s constant stream of odd jobs she goes through is somewhat reflected in the boys as well. Like, you have April working at random pizza places or getting a crane license or being fully willing to apply for a job at a place clearly made out of cardboard. Then you have the boys as well who do anything from working as a basketball mascot, building a massive dog park, being waiters, getting a whole band gig at a theme park, etc, etc-

Main difference is that April actively applies for these jobs (and is hopefully paid for the short time she’s in them) whereas for the bros the jobs usually find them (and they practically never get paid.) It doesn’t even stop at jobs either, they just seem to casually amass skills in general.

I don’t know, I like how both April and the turtles are just so ready and willing to do things. Sure, they’re not always good at these things, but they do them readily! In a way, being heroes is just another job (well, more like volunteer work/vigilantism/another fun activity) that they initially took on because of their general sense of “why not?”

They’re very willing and open to trying out new things despite their tendency to revert back to what they enjoy (and how commonly trying new things ends up going wrong), and I think that adaptational interest of theirs really helps them be well rounded in multiple regards.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #like not even just jobs these characters just like to go out and do things!#even if they’re initially not interested they’re so curious and stuff that they’ll do it anyway #I wonder if April being as curious and incredibly open minded as she is rubbed off on the boys growing up #and they like…osmosis’d this personality trait from her to be like ‘yeah sure whatever’ to any antic #I also just think that they’re bored teenagers with a TON of time on their hands so they like to just live it up #I think the boys always had the desire to go out and apply themselves but meeting April likely pushed them more #y’know I wonder #what if April narrowed down just one job when in college and she actually managed to keep it #like…almost as a form of growth - she narrowed down jobs and careers and schooling as she hit early adulthood?#it’s kinda reflected in raph as well - originally so open and for goofing off but now much more singularly focused on hero stuff #kinda a sad way to look at growing up but it works here #because you have the three younger sibs still readily doing other things #not as focused on responsibility or singular paths #it’s sad because adulthood absolutely does not mean not being open to other things #but at that time in your life sometimes there’s a pressure and unwanted responsibility to pick a path y’know?#and it’s a relief to learn that actually there was never just one set path with one set trail you always had to stay on #and I think that’s reflected in how raph at the end of the movie opens back up to playing around and doing things for the fun of it
