Asking some writers/artists I follow:

Is there anything in your fic/comic that you as the author know about, but won't end up in the actual story?

So…TWO THINGS! FIRST! around these pages in the nightmare comic, when Leo finds out his brothers had gone on a mission without him, he was supposed to full on panic and run away from the layer looking for them. While he’s looking, he was supposed to run into April, who got a call from Splinter that Leo had run away. She would have calmed him down until his brothers found him. But I was short on time, and I never got to drawing it…also I forgot until the following pages were up lol, because…life.

Second, Donnie put a tracker in the wrist tech that Leo is wearing. I like to think that he snuck out of the layer one too many times, and was caught each time because of the tracker. Leo does get annoyed and tires to get the wrist tech off, but it’s made to be “Leo-proof” and only Donnie can remove it. Leo does get out of the lair a few times. There were nights where his brothers were either too tired to stay awake, or didn’t catch him when he woke up from a nightmare and he went topside to clear his head. I like to think that they found him, calmed him down, and brought him home each time at first. But after a while, since Donnie knew where he always was, and since Mikey thought it might be good for him to have some space, they let him go on his own from time to time. But they would be nearby, just in case. Leo always knows if they’re spying on him, but pretends he doesn’t because he likes knowing that they care enough to worry and follow him around…until he gets annoyed and gives them the slip.

Excuse me while I go cry!

Can I just rant about Best Girl April for a bit? Can we talk about how she’s fearless, loves adventure, loves to joke, loves spooky things, has a strong sense of right and wrong, loyalty…but she’s awkward and loud, and not considered cool or taken seriously. Can I just say how relatable that is? To be a good person, to be authentic, but feel as though people don’t like you for who you are. To be overly friendly with everyone and want to be accepted…but you’re not “it,” whatever the kids in your school, family, community want and reward. April may not be canonically neurodivergent, but I always got the sense of how relatable she is. She is so strong, but the second she’s in social/normal situations, she fumbles. Can’t seem to make a single human friend.

But with the boys, she doesn’t have to be anything but herself. They love her, and they don’t expect her to be anyone else. Their love is unconditional, there is no expectation, they accept her eccentricities as much as she accepts theirs. People will tell me Rise is a silly show, but no one realizes how subtle it is in it’s writing, how it makes the characters complex without spoon feeding everything to you, how there’s layers in what they do, say, how they physically movie, visual gags about how they feel toward each other.

This show really deserves better and April is one of the best women characters I’ve seen in the last ten years. She does not need to be in a romantic relationship to be someone worthy of praise. She doesn’t need to hide her weirdness. She does not have to be overly girly, and yet can still be feminine. She does not care about stereotypical teenage garbage. She’s unique. She thrives on finding the truth, doing the right thing, being a force for good and does not let fear stand in her way. She deserves so much more love and development and GOD I love this comic for showing all of that!

Rise April IS BEST APRIL!

i wanna ask one of my favourite reaction channels to watch rise of the tmnt!! she's really cool and has an amazing fanbase, as well as listens to her fans' recommendations on shows/movies she should react to. if she watches rise and sees how good it is, maybe it can reach her audience and grow more attention?? all im asking for is some advice on how i should convince her to watch it, lol. (also, your willpower to keep the show alive is admirable and ilysm<3)

I’ve been asking as many trustworthy YouTubers I can think of for a while now. I think the more people ask, the higher the chances that they will review. The more reviews there are from YouTubers that people trust, the more likely Rise will get the spotlight. The more demand the better. For example, I’ve been asking Cinema wins as much as I can to give the movie a chance. (I even asked on Patreon…lol). Rise could really use a win.

The best way to do it, at least for me, is to appeal to the youtuber’s tastes and their channel’s identity. There’s a fun YouTuber called Coley Does Things, and they review mostly fandom related stuff. I relayed that Rise is a great show, talk about it’s high points, how it deserves spotlight from fans that would appreciate it for what it is. I related that it’s a fandom with a lot a love and a lot to offer, since Coley often talks about fandom related things (particularly those on tumblr).

Recommend the show, talk about how it lines up with the youtuber’s personal/YouTube channel’s values. Talk about it’s good points and why you trust the youtuber to give it a fair shot. If you’re pitching the show to someone that loves animation/world building, like the Roundtable, talk about the quality of Rise’s world building, and how incredible its animation is. If you’re pitching the show to an anime YouTuber, talk about how Rise takes a lot of inspiration from studio trigger and how it feels like a shonen anime from the west. If you’re pitching it to someone that loves wholesomeness, talk about how Rise has one of the healthiest depictions of male brotherhood I’ve seen since Aang and Sokka from ATLA. The more you relate the show to something they like the better.

The most important thing is to be polite. If you’re talking about how Rise was done dirty and how it was overly hated upon release, there’s no need mention any particular reviewer. More important to talk about how the studio fumbled Rise’s chances, because Nickelodeon is the main reason Rise did not do well, not the negative reviews themselves (though that is something that it making it hard for new fans to get into the series, since there’s still more negativity then positivity. That’s why it’s so important that fans try to make more good/fair reviews as possible).

I STILL believe that Rise can come back. I just can’t do it alone. The more people keep trying, and don’t give up, the better. If the 90s X-men can have a continuation, a FRANCHISE that got a continuation, NOT A REBOOT, from where the show left off, then Rise can do it too.
