#rise!April

why not both?

[angelitaby]

it was a nice night tonight, you thought.

you were sitting beside april on the fire escape outside your apartment, the cool metal was contrasting to the summer heat. you had been snacking on popsicles, watching the city lights flicker and the cars pass by. chatting and laughing at nothing in particular.

at some point she had fallen asleep, her head against your shoulder and her knees lolling towards your own. mumbling something incoherent between breaths.

you sighed as you tilted your head back against the wall of bricks, closing your eyes for a moment before glancing over at her. you chewed on the popsicle stick, twirling it between your fingers.

you've memorized the exact color of her skin about a million times. and the angle at which her nose bended just slightly. the freckles that star aligned across her shoulders and around her neck, the curls that framed her face like something from a golden age dutch painting when she wore it in a certain way.

you felt the skin of your palm burn and heat with a desire to brush away that loose strand of hair that mingled over her closed eye, and you felt the desperate and pathetic urge to run your thumb over her knuckles and place kisses along her wrist like she was a goddess you were sent to praise.

you want her. Lord knows, you want her more than anything in this world.

she plagued your thoughts. throughout the bright days, beyond the moon's ghostly glow, when purple pink skies merged into the dark of blue midnights.

you noticed her small habits, too. how she would chew her nails when she was lost in a deep thought, how she would draw figures on any flat surface when she was bored. how she pursed her lips when she disapproved of something, and how she never let that said thing slide, not on her watch.

you admired the brown of her eyes when she was awake, noticing how they were closer to a crepuscular ray of golden around the center.

her confidence glowed off her smile, sparkled in her eyes. glimmered through the crack of her voice and laugh when she was peculiarly excited about something. the bounce of her twirl when she had a lead on something.

she was... beautiful. breathtaking. inside and out. she was a soul that couldn't be described in one word.

or even a million.

"i love you, april." you whispered into the silence just to comfort yourself, you didn't expect her to hear, no less respond.

"love you too," she mumbled back a response into your shoulder, her chest rising and falling with steady breaths. unlike you.

your throat constricted, and your heart sunk into your stomach. you couldn't tell if it was because you were mortified that she heard you, or because you were happy to hear those three little words. or because you were sad to think that maybe she didn't mean it in the same way that you did and you were overthinking this all.

maybe (definitely) it was a little bit of each.

oh, if only you weren't so busy untangling your own mind, you would have felt that beautiful and telling smile that pressed against april's lips as she leaned against your shoulder.

Rise headcanon

The boys and Splinter speak Japanese around the lair because it's their first language and their second language is English. Also the hidden city's primary language is Japanese followed closely by English and the third most spoken language is Spanish. The boys speak primarily English around April though

silly headcannon that Mikey and Don would make silly since experiments for fun

Donnie: We’ve been conducting an ongoing study to see what Raph will and will not eat. Mikey: Grass? Yes! Donnie: Moss? Yes!! Mikey: Leaves? Ohh, yes! Donnie: Shoelaces? Strange but true! Mikey: Worms? Sometimes! Donnie: Rocks? Usually nah. Mikey: Twigs? Usually! Donnie: My cooking? Inconclusive! Leo: How did you…test this? Donnie: You just hand him stuff and say ‘eat this’ and if he eats it, he eats it. Leo: ...that, doesn't seem safe for him Donnie: It's for science, bitch, safety doesn't matter April: IS THAT WHERE ALL MY SPARE SHOELACES WENT?

You can never have too much turtles!

[nada-que-ver-por-aqui]

I have a NEED for April centric fics ever since I watched the episode where April is disguised as a foot ninja for the first time, I thought to myself "omg I bet there's thousands of foot!April aus on AO3" but when I looked there was NONE

NOTHING

NADA DE NADA

And I wish I had more confidence in my english writing skills bc there is some POTENTIAL here:

foot!April who has been a member of the foot together with Casey ever since they were both little kids and is desperately trying to keep it a secret from the turtles without knowing that they're part of the infamous Hamato clan. At this point in her life she doesn't really care if the Shedder comes back or not but Casey does so April stays in the foot clan for her

battle nexus champion!April who shows the Hidden City to the turtles way before the events of the series take place. Her fame plays both on their favor and against them through their adventures. And her relationship with Big Mama is as useful as is insidious. Also she's so fucking badass

fuck it draxum's lab assistant!April who works for him bc no one will hire her in New York anymore, the pay is good and she doesn't really think her boss is serious about destroying humanity. He doesn't like her being human at all, but she's smart, strong and honestly? Better qualified than everyone else who sent an application

BISHOP'S LAB ASSISTANT!APRIL THAT'S LITERALLY JUST TMNT03

raised by splinter!April who was lost/abandoned/neglected/whatever by her parents when a recently mutated Lou Jitsu finds her and takes her home. Years later, April sees a bunch of strange yokai (kappas?) releasing some weird mosquitoes that MUTATE HUMANS WTF she remembers Splinter mentioning the 4 little turtles who got mutated with his dna but he thought they didn't survive the explosion! Now is on April to save her newly discover 4 little brothers but will they want to be saved?

I really want to read something like this but my english sucks and the fandom in spanish feels so small it scares me soooo

fic recs? anyone? please?

[ifwebefriends]

Ok ngl I’m starting to ship Rise!Apritello but I need Donnie to lowkey be an absolute disaster about it

[fauxfabgator]

Aren’t lesbians neat?

Anyways- this is a drawing I did for womens history month for Amino.

[queen-lucifer88]

Just watched the first episode of ROTTMNT, and it pains me with how badly the turtles fight. It seems like April is the only badass one in the beginning. Yet it doesn't seem as bad as I thought it would be.

So anyone writing a Human!Turtles in a Pokemon world fic? (I found one for Arceus but I lost it, will definitely link once found.)

Mikey's starter is definitely a Vulpix, don't ask me why.

Mikey wants to do the Gym challenge to become champion and tells his brothers, who supports him.

Donnie and Leo wants to join in as well.

Leo's starter is definitely Zorua

Donnie's starter is either Kadabra or an electric type.

Raph wants to join but literally all Pokemon he's encountered so far is afraid of him, he knows that if he goes with his brothers it'll be difficult to build a team.

Lou Jitsu (Hamato Yoshi's) team is Ratacate, Gallade, Torterra, Carracosta, Torkle, and Froufrou.

The Hamato Clan run a gym mostly for Fairy or Psychic types, but Yoshi didn't like that and ran off.

Big Mama is technically the Giavonni of this world, let's say new region.

Barry is a Pokemon Scientist that prefers the company of Pokemon over humans...the Hamatos being the only exception.

Barry is also studying Raph to find out why Pokemon fear him, no luck.

Mikey convinces Raph to join them, mostly cause he wants his older brother to enjoy being out and about.

It doesn't start out well considering his Brothers Partners are afraid of him.

It takes a few days but each Partner finds comfort in Raph.

Mikey asked his Vulpix (which he named Petunia) why they seemed to be afraid of Raph.

According to the Pokemon, it seems their brother has a dangerous aura despite being the sweetest.

Raph feels awful while watching his family, he's happy for them but he feels an ache in his chest from watching them and their partners.

Of course there's the guilt when they introduce him to an addition to the team.

Raph even flat out fought a few strong pokemon himself, at least their not afraid of him.

(honestly I don't picture giving Raph a Pokemon this early, he'll mostly get one when he's on his own. I'm stuck on what to give him though. Mewtwo? F!Ralts? Bunnery? Haunter? God it's hard cause a lot would fit him.)

Championships

Mikey: Ninetails, Steelix, Garados, Lucario, Toucannon, and Esper.

Leo: Zorouark, Lucario, Morgrem, Liepard, Whimsicott, Klefki

Donnie: (either Alakazam or Magnazone), Lucario (shiny), Slowking, Stoutland, Mightyena, Umbreon.

Raph watches with the crowd outside the arena because he does indeed make Pokemon Nervous.

His brothers didn't win but he's there to pick them up and lift their spirits.

He meets their new friend (and champion) April, who immediately thought he was sketchy due to Mayhem's reaction to him, but finds out about his aura.

Mayhem doesn't hate him, but he doesn't want him near. Which the Pokemon itself can't help but finds ways to make it up to the big guy.

Leo took the loss the hardest (competitive bastard) and was an overall jerk until finally saying something he hadn't meant to Raph.

Before Leo could take it back, his older brother walked out the house and walked away.

No this isn't where he gets a Pokemon sadly, but the Pokemon see him crying alone in the dark.

Few approach him and finally calmed down enough to go home, he thanks them Pokemon and starts trekking home.

He meets April, who's still weary of him, and quietly joins her.

April immediately noticed something up and begins talking to him, she finds him adorable and has adopted him as a younger brother. (She was going to anyway, but she had to feel him out)

Raph didn't trust it immediately so he kept a safe distance between them even helping Barry with out of town work.

On a delivery, that's when he meets a Pokemon that won't stop following him, Eevee.

Honestly he doesn't believe this Pokemon wants him until she literally bites his cheek one day.

He named her Hunny, and she was the first of a few Pokemon to come to him.

(Hunny was one of the Pokemon to see him cry, none others will join)

I believe we’ve all come to an agreement

the first meeting with April went great (all things considered) :]

[masked-kitsune]

Venus de Milo as a rise turtle. I took a few liberties marking wise and alongside Leo she's a field medic, I love the medic leo headcanon tbh. I'm not entirely sure what her mystic power/ninpo would be but she was really excited when she unlocked it. She also uses tessen fans as her main weapon. Her first meeting with Casey Jr. And April is gonna be her asking a lot of questions. She would definitely vibe with Sunita and possibly Cassandra. She and Leo would start bonding pretty quick. Raph would start introducing his sister to everything regarding family. Donnie would show her his inventions and marble in the fresh praise and amazement from a sibling. Mikey would introduce her to art and so much creative stuff and even help her choose the name Venus de Milo. Splinter was happy to have his lost daughter home. She definitely got Draxum's love of alchemy.

Turtle ages

Leo: 14

Donnie: 14

Raph: 15

Mikey: 13

Venus: 13 (a few months younger than Mikey)

April: I have a problem. Cass: Kill it. April: Can you chill for like, two seconds?

Leo’s arc Part one

Prev || Next

One year after our prologue and no matter how many times Leo sits through his sessions with Kitsune, he can’t shake the familiarity that plagues him every time those two turtles interfere with any Foot Clan mission.

Karai is only too happy to watch Leo implode. She’s sure once he does, it’ll allow her to finally prove to her father that she’s the stronger of his two protégées.

Cassandra has been sneaking out for a few months now to spend her nights with the Mad Dogs, but she’s going to have to make a choice soon. The Foot or her new friends.
