not sure if someoneโs asked about this yet buttttโฆ
any specific raph or april hcs? or together since you havenโt posted them together as much ๐
I kNOW- I'm so upset with myself that I haven't drawn these two together in like 50 million years- I really need to get my shit together,, /hj LMAO
As far as headcanons go, let me see if I can come up with some I haven't shared !
โข 2012 Raph headcanons:
If the Turtles were familiar with real life films, I think one of his all time favorite superhero movies would be, "The Incredibles" ! I feel he can appreciate its nuance and how it depicts its characters in such a realistic way ! (Aka, he likes the drama- LMAO ) || I think he'd be the sibling + friend who wants to just relax at the hotel when on vacation instead of exploring the whole time- Like, he's for real just chillin' in the spa or something ! I'm not saying he never indulges just like everyone else, but I also think he can appreciate the breather, you know? || I think it would be cute for Raph and Leo to explore abandoned buildings in their free time, imitating documenters / paranormal hunters / or just YouTubers in general the entire time- LMAO || That Raph actually enjoys wearing clothes, despite not needing them in the same way humans do ! He likes to express himself- ๐โจ || In the context of them being able to live normal lives as mutants, I think Raph would be the first one to get his driver's license at 16 ! Leo would've already been an experienced driver, but he definitely dragged his feet getting a legitimate license-! LMAO || Raph's echoing Mikey's vocal stims all the time ! This basically feels canon, but I'm including it anyway- I think April would find it really adorable every time they're alone and Raph would mindlessly say small phrases Mikey would usually say ! (Like, if Mikey started saying, "McFreaking" all the time, Raph would absolutely start saying it at some point too- LMAO)
โข 2012 April headcanons:
I think April should have a really great relationship with Dr. Rockwell, considering he's the only other living creature on Earth that shares similar psychic abilities as her ! I think a lot of her improvements in this field should've stemmed from her time spent with him ! Sure, he uses Kraang enchantments, but he also understands these abilities on a much more fundamental level than any other character in the series- Also April should've gotten enhancements too, tf? LMAO || I think April should be in this middle ground (Or maybe a fence sitter??) of being both a rage baiter and someone who can easily be rage baited ! It truly depends on the situation- She's situational ! Lmao || I can see April being immune to motion sickness, given her Utrom DNA ! So things like floating in the vastness of space, sailing in the middle of the ocean, riding aircrafts at high altitudes, etc. don't really affect her ! || If someone's feeling an extremely intense emotion around April, she can genuinely hear their thoughts ! I'd like to think she could actually hear the thoughts of Raph, Karai (When she's truly furious-), and Saki / Shredder's thoughts the most out of every character in the show ! || I think April would be more of a roller skate girly than a roller blade or skateboard girly ! Casey and Mikey would be eager to teach her how, wanting to invite her on their skating hangouts ! (I might've shared this one before?) || That her favorite type of candy is sour ! I could see her enjoying Sourpatch gummies or Warheads or something like that !
โข 2012 Raphril headcanons (Can be read both platonically or romantically !):
I think it would be really funny for Raph to complain about April's psychic abilities a lot ! Him making a (valid) argument that April's intuition skills should count when participating in reflex training or whatever since it's almost like she has foresight? Comparing her to their fight with Dr. Falco (Before he became the Rat King-) in a way ! || Sometimes as a joke, they'll do that pathetic slap fighting thing with each other ! || If one of them eats something super spicy or disgusting, they'll offer it to the other without giving context just to see their reaction- I'd like to think they'd both be bold enough to look each other dead in the eyes when they do it too- LMAO || Any time one of them is stressed or going into a triggering situation for one of them, they always maintain some kind of physical contact with each other to keep themselves grounded in the present (I.e. April being their Raph when they were on Lord Dregg's planet of bugs, or Raph with April whenever she's in any Kraang related building / the Technodrome-) !
