...I am not familiar with that word. Thank you for using it! And yeah, it kind of is.

Yes it does I basically said they aren't fighting to own April but to get her affection which is something people do if they want to form a relationship , it's not objectification.

Ugh, this thread adresses an issue that's only relevant to the Nickolodeon cartoon and it's supplementary material, the question is utterly meaningless outside of it, and even then it seems like the cartoon dropped it. Casey is April's boyfriend in the original comics, the movies, the 4Kids cartoon and the IDW comics, even the Nickelodeon cartoon seems to go that way now.

Depends on the version.
I can roll with AprilxCasey in 2k3 because the relationship develops over time - it's gradual. FWIW, I never interpreted Donnie as having a crush on April in that version either. As far as Nick goes - neither. She was introduced as a love interest from the moment she stepped onto the screen and it blisters my butt barnacles. That being said, I'm getting very burnt out on the idea that she automatically has to be paired off just by virtue of the fact that she's a human female. I mean, I would like to think that it's a possibility that males and females can be platonic friends - whether they're human or non-human. Just because someone's a human male and someone else is a human female and they're friends does not mean they have to pair up. It's a crappy, irritating and problematic stereotype, just as annoying in fiction as it is in real life. Quote:

Donnie. Caparil is so cliche and overdone to the death it's boring.
Beauty and the Beast for me. There was a poll on Nick site and the majority picked Donnie over Casey. |

I'd love for the series to just end with everyone having a good 'just friends' reconciliation.
Though I don't see that happening. |

Furthermore I always found the notion that the Turtles can't go out with anyone to be utterly absurd. Because their turtles? That doesn't make any sense. It's like someone decided that should be a rule when it never made sense to begin with as the Turtles clearly showed interest in female mutants, humans and aliens, and did so in many adaptations, whether it was the cartoons or the movies. I don't care if Donnie ended up with April but I always felt like one of the Turtles should be going out with someone. Why? Because it makes interesting character development. A female who's opposite of say, Raphael could make him less angry and impulsive and a female who's somewhat opposite of Donnie, could show that he needs to trust his instincts sometimes and not always rely on his calculations. |

You can blame amatonormativity for that; it's one of the very reasons why shipping wars exist. |

I do not understand why writing female characters is so mind-bogglingly hard to so many people.

As it happens, I know EXACTLY which little ficcy you were referring to! It's THIS little gem here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9775008/1/Boundless Quote:
You are SOOO right.... It was SleepingSeeker, and yes, she Is a Dromer- though hasn't been active on here for some time. She's an amazing writer, who likes her romance dark, along with lots of other things.
