Rise April - Tumblr Posts
I redid my drawing.
Toddler April O'Neil embroidery. I'm so close to finishing my Teddy Barry Draxum, but I have to wait for my new cloth to come in for his eyes. He's in peices, stuffed and ready to be sewn up, but the eyes need to be done. Anyway, enjoy this embroidery I did of April.
Raph, Leo, Donnie, Mikey, Venus, Karai (Splinter and Big Mama's daughter together), April, Sunita and Cassandra in Pico Park.
Rise Requests are open! I enjoy drawing the turtles, especially as babies and small children.
My rules/limitations:
No NSFW, TCEST, etc.
Comics can have up to 5 panels.
I can TRY to draw villians, but I'm still practicing, so it won't be perfect, but I'll try.
Thanksgiving Headcanon
Mikey- Cooks most of the food, but gives his brothers tasks. He's the boss in this kitchen. Dish: Turkey, gravy, pie.
Raph-Does prep work for Mikey, but is strong enough to mash potatoes without getting tired. Dish: Mashed potatoes.
Leo: Loves to experiment with recipes, and his favorite substitution is to replace the normal bread cubes in stuffing with bagels. Dish: Stuffing
Donnie- Hates cooking and prefers to bring items in packages so he doesn't have to make it from scratch. Dish: Cranberry sauce and Hawaiian rolls.
Splinter: Cooked everyday for the boys until they were old enough to cook for themselves. Being an Asian dad, he cooked in bulk. Dish: Green bean casserole.
April- Flavor is ALWAYS an option when you're from an African American family and she brings Thanksgiving comfort foods to feed her friends. Dish: Mac n cheese and sweet potato pie.
For anyone that does compilation type videos, I have a request for these kinds of compilations. I would pay good money to have these made and posted.
-Raph eating/putting things in his mouth
-The boys acting like turtles (swallowing food whole, retreating inside their shell, etc.)
-Everytime someone uses a nickname (like when Mikey is called Miguel, or Donnie is called Donald)
-April being a girl boss
-Easter eggs {Ice cream kitty, Bebop and Rocksteady cameo, Hot Oatmeal (which was a pizza topping in the 1987 series), voice actors from previous series, etc.}
-The turtles eating things other than pizza
-Every song in the show (I want to jam out to Baron Draxum's villain song)

Turtle Tot Headcanons: Bathing
•Splinter bathed the boys once a week whilst on the street, and it was in the river.
•Once they moved into the lair, Splinter couldn't get the tub to work, but the sink worked, so he just bathed them one at a time in there.
•Once he got the tub to work, bathtime was nightly and mandatory. Not that the boys minded. They loved baths.
•Raph's favorite bath toys were a plastic teddy bear that squirted. Leo's was a ship. Donnie's was a plastic duck that swam under the water when you twist the key. Mikey's was a rubber sharky. They also had plastic balls, a mermaid doll that changed colors in the water (from April), and a set of toys that had one big turtle and 4 small ones.
•They all love baths, but hate getting washed. Splinter fought with them to get them clean, and each one made excuses. "It's in my eye!", "The water's too hot/cold!" "I wanna get out, now." "I didn't get THAT dirty!" etc.
•Leo freaks out Donnie by drinking the tub water or spitting it at him.
•Splinter always had "Mr. Bubble Liquid Bath", but once he got the "Scientific & Terrific Potion Bath" for Donnie's birthday. He loved it.
•Each boy had a favorite scent. Raph's was lavender, Leo's was eucalyptus, Donnie's was citrus, and Mikey's was vanilla sugar.
•Fights were common, mostly among the twins, and it's usually about toys or the temperature of the water.
•Donnie once fell asleep in the tub and Splinter still has a photograph of it. He thought it was so precious.
•When the kids were little, bath paint WAS a thing, but Splinter would rather not deal with that.
•To keep from the "you got soap in my eye, daddy" complaint, Splinter installed a detachable shower head to the tub so he could rinse the kids properly (and to have water fights with them.)
•It gave Splinter great satisfaction to hear the chorus of "No"s when he announced it was time to get out.
•After the bath came the big fluffy towel that dried each kid off, then a layer of lotion, then soft jammies before books and bedtime.
•Baths usually knocked them out.
•Once, Splinter was enjoying a hot bath to unwind. He put his head under the water and closed his eyes for a minute and when he opened them, Leo was staring at him, which made Splinter scream in surprise.
•When they got older, Splinter had to start separating them. He tried Mikey/Leo, Raph/Donnie, Donnie/Mikey, Raph/Leo, and settled with Raph/Mikey and Leo/Donnie.
•When they turned 7, they were interested in showering, so Splinter would bring each one into the bathroom and explained how to wash themselves while standing up. After that, they were on their own.
•Every teenaged boy STINKS! Splinter had to constantly remind them to shower after they turned 11.
•April has her own shower caddy with special shampoo and conditioner and will get mad/use her bat if any of her brothers touch it.
•Once, she had to shower in the lair after an intense lair sport, and while she was in there, Donnie accidentally walked in. They both screamed, Donnie had a loofah thrown at his head, and they swore to never bring it up again. That day the boys learned how to knock.
•Raph tried to give Mayhem a bath. It didn't go well.
•After the Shredder incident, the siblings had a hot tub installed in their home to unwind. After the Krang incident, Leo wouldn't leave it, saying it helped his wounds.
Sunita, April, and Cassandra as 5 year olds.
I watched the ROTTMNT episode: Operation Normal 3 times and I counted 28 times the word "normal" was said. I was curious.
Sunita, April and Cassandra are hunting for Easter eggs.

[id: a digital drawing of april from rottmnt. she is standing in front of the sky, the lighting as if the sun just set; light blue and yellow with light purple clouds framing her. april is wearing a warm green tank top and her hair is in a half up half down style, her bangs loosely framing her face. her body is facing the right and she is turning her head towards the light on the left, raising one shoulder and leaning her face on it slightly. she is smiling wide with her eyes closed./ end id]
Congrats on 10k @tizeline! This was so much fun to make! As a Jupiter Jim super fan I think Leo would totally go for a blue tie dye space T-shirt
(Also totally didn’t forget to draw in Don and April’s reactions)
Risetober day Six: April O’neil
Okay guys I realized when making this; I’ve hardly ever drawn April and I feel so bad because she’s such a good character and sister to the boys! Hopefully I’ll eventually start drawing her more and really show her spunky attitude
Originally this was gonna be a small sketch but I honestly had a lot of fun making this
this is actually this first time I’ve drawn the rise turtles and April (except for Leo) so hopefully I did them some justice especially April since she is one of if not my favorite version of April
original ref pose I used by mellon_soup on instagram
decided to play around with incorrect quotes generator fir my Sky COTL x TMNT Crossover AU and honestly some of these are kinda canon lol
I used the rise turtles btw
also Casey is Cassandra not Casey Jr
Designed some more children for the collection in my head. Also finished coloring the turtle kids. 👇
Look at them! They are my children in a none literal sense. Had to change the name of Donnie’s kid because I hated the first one.
