I Actually Arted Yesterday! It Was Pretty Awesome :D

This is their first photo together))

Tbh, I respect people who, in their works, make a friendly relationship between Donnie and April. They deserve to be best friends!

(Unlike the canon)

A reminder to all those on the internet. You can block anyone you like! For a reason or no reason at all! If that makes you upset, grow up! Strangers on the internet owe you nothing!

For reference, I blocked this person because they were spamming other blogs with the same question right after I got hate asks from someone telling me to kill myself. Their blog was near empty, same as the troll. Rather suspicious.

Regardless, I don't know you. I am not gonna sit here and accept asks and dms from someone who sniffs around because they saw hate.

If this is your reaction to someone blocking you, then it looks like they made the right decision because your immediate reaction was to throw a tantrum.

Once again, go touch grass.

Old stuff, but remember the time our Bayverse boys were in Ready Player One?

Plz tell me you also see Mikey owning it in the back

And fucking Battletoads

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

hey, did you know that the world is a better place because of your creations and art and writing, no matter how niche or how many people see it

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.

Does 2012 April have flaws? Yes.

Does 2012 April actively show Donnie affection? Yes.

Does 2012 April have feelings for Donnie to some degree? Yes.

Is she 100% sure on those feelings? No.

Does she have more important problems in her life to deal with than whether or not a boy is into her? Fuck yes.

Does April sometimes go too far and overreact? Yes.

So does every single other character in the show.

Her father was kidnapped episode one, and he’s the only family member she is ever shown to have a close relationship with (her aunt literally never appears in the show she doesn’t count.)

Then her life is put in danger CONSTANTLY, her father is mutated by the people who promised to save him (their fault or not), she is forced to live underground IN A SEWER, she tries to train to pull her own weight and contribute because she’s sick of sitting on the sidelines only to be treated like she’s helpless constantly, on top of that she’s got two guys constantly flirting with her and playing tug of war with her.

April has flaws. April makes mistakes. April can be loud and abrasive and takes her frustration out on people who probably don’t deserve it.

But for peoples biggest gripe of her character to be that she’s a “tease?”

Y’all are just as guilty of reducing her character to just a love interest as some of the writers.

(Also for the “you’re my mutant” thing? She said that in response to Donnie putting himself down. He apologized and then proceeded to imply that she doesn’t want to be with him solely cause he’s a mutant.) (She also never said she didn’t like him or that she didn’t have feelings for him, she literally just felt uncomfortable with getting a gift with HIS FACE ON IT. Idc how much I like someone that’s an awkward thing to get) (let’s also not forget that Donnie never confessed to her either? She didn’t reject him cause he never asked her out.)

Maybe they were originally doomed by the narrative but it's my doll house and now they are happy and kissing all the time.

"Why didn't they just communicate?? They're so stupid!" Have you considered that communicating with someone you love and value and don't want to hurt is scary and that vulnerability takes practice and that perfect characters with perfect words make the most boring stories of all
