Inspiration taken from Pinterest again.
That moment with the makeup for Bigfoot gave me a chance to act out a certain part of April's character.
Mikey is a very curious turtle when it comes to various human things. He was particularly interested in April's bag.
He noticed that she usually makes arrows in her eyes, holding a small mirror to herself. Mikey, as he often likes to do with others, asked her what else she had in her bag. She sorted out several cosmetics one by one, explaining their use. The nail polish attracted his attention the most, imagining his painted nails while looking at his hands. He asked her if they would look good to him, to which April shrugged her shoulders, although she didn't mind experimenting on him.
She shared her story that she had a bad makeup & Manicure in middle school, which she had to hear from other classmates giggling. No, they weren't bullying her, but someone from the same class thought that she wanted to “stand out” from the rest for the sake of the guys' attention. Although, to tell the truth, she was just going to get to know herself better from the other side, and after that incident, she used her mother's cosmetic bag less and less. However, her father explained to her that being the same as everyone else, without having experience in something, is absolutely normal for her early teenage age, when in society you don't want to be a black sheep among the others. Over time, it gave her a little confidence to prove herself during the period when she was wearing braces and glasses.
For Mikey, this view of the fact that she allegedly wanted to “stand out from others for the sake of male attention” didn't coincide with logic, to which April added that one gossip girl from her memories generally denied everything feminine and bright.
"She almost sucked up to the guys herself, neglecting others," she added with annoyance when she remembered her old days.
"But I think they themselves don't know how to use these things as cosmetics," he said with a note of support, "it's quite “creative” if you think about it.
After his words, it definitely made her do at least something for someone who really wants it.
Raphael always had the opportunity to tease his younger brother for his admiration for the little things, he was so used to it. Although he secretly liked his friend's efforts to make Mikey a little happy.
I warn you in advance that I came to the training camp and I may release my posts less often.
