#april meeting the turtles

[magsterdragster]

I wanna talk about my TMNT but idk what exactly to talk about... And most of the time when I wanna talk about something I don't bc I tell myself I should draw stuff to go with it. But then my stupid brain is like "okay but if you spend all that time drawing and no one asked?? Like?? Why??"

Ugh..

Grocery shopping gone wrong

Why would they go grocery shopping in the middle of the day, in Manhattan, the most anti-mutant district of New York (mostly influenced by mafia boss Don Vizioso) ? Who knows ! Not Raph, who was having an off day, and is VERY surprised to see his family return with 1 (one) grocery bag and many (a lot) of bruises.

COLORCODED TMNT ITERATION

[turtleblogatlast]

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.

Mikey: How’s my breath?

April: Ooh, like flowers! How'd you do that?

Mikey: I ate two flowers.

ALRIGHT EVERYBODY!!

The bracket's all been put together!

Please note that there were a few more submissions that I had to take out of the running for the sake of space, but I hope that everyone's still excited!!

Full list of names (the text is tiny ik I'm sorry) and links to the content themselves below the cut

For the record, I put all of the names in the order I had them saved then just shuffled them, I didn't make these match-ups.

I also haven't seen 100% of these, nor do I remember all of them, so if I don't remember the nicknaming system used in that specific fic, I apologise.

day 30 - Turtle Tots

[liathgray]

Can we hear some of your Brain farts about green screen please?

OF COURSE

This AU is in a squishy stage (read: I am open to suggestions) and not everything is set in stone, but I do know one thing for sure: lil April is a conspiracy theorist.

She spends a lot of her free time doing baby detective work because it was fun, "cracking cases" like who stole the pizza boys delivery bike!

She starts reading up on conspiracy theories / checking the paper for any ongoing investigations and most of what she comes across doesn't need investigating, theres always one theory ppl agree is right.

Until she finds out about the Lou Jitsu conspiracy. The celebrity who vanished for over ten years without a trace and returned with strange children.

Not. One. Person can agree on this. There's like a million different explanations and none of them fit! April. just. it sucks her in so fast and this girl is NOTHING if not stubborn.

She digs and digs and digs and the crazy thing is: she solves it. April correctly figures out what happened via paying attention to small things, and also being a child that can accept things like "theres a magic city under NYC" girly GOT IT! But of course no one believes her.

If only she could prove it...

Rest of AU: First, Second, Fourth

Casey: Love is dead and never existed. All you did was betray me as I lay sick and festering. You are the definition of dread.

April: Are you okay?

Casey: Mayhem stole my fucking garlic bread.

TMayNT Day 2: Favorite April

I love 03 April in how Smart and kind she is, but also willing to fight when needed. I love Rise April in how Spunky she is and willing to just jump into fights right along side the turtles.

Anyway here's the two of them bonding over breaking into labs and discovering things they weren't supposed to know about lol (at least that's where the conversation is going)

HAPPY ONE YEAR TO TMNT COLORCODED !

To celebrate here is a double poster set, themed after one of the main "ep" of "season 1" I just outlined :D! It's filled with meaningful details :D!

COLORCODED TMNT ITERATION

[turtleblogatlast]

I find it interesting that Leo tells Raph that Raph was Mikey’s age when he first went out alone because it’s fun to draw the conclusion that Donnie and Leo were not that age when they themselves first went outside.

Sure, they likely could have just ventured out at the same time as their brothers and Leo just chose to focus on Raph to make his point, but given Donnie and Leo’s respective personalities I can absolutely see them just leaving anyway at a much younger age.

[incorrect-tmnt2012-quotes]

April: How’s my hair?

Casey: Hasn’t changed in six years.
