Cubed, you also assume TMNT shippers and t-cesters are shunned to the darkest corners or whatever, but i'm one of them and i'm working on the IDW series and i even did some work for Mirage. we're closer than you think. >: )

Good for you, Ross. Keep doing what you're doing and keep on supporting the shipping. I'm the same way with my fan fiction, and I have no problem supporting certain pairings. Cubed is just a narrow-minded guy who thinks that the world shouldn't have any enjoyment over anything. I feel so sorry for him.

Let's look through the series for canon ships:

- Original toon: None aside from Raph having a thing for Mona Lisa. Leo also had a crush on Lotus Blossom that faded after one episode

- 4kids: April/Casey, Don might have had a subtle crush on April for a little while. Nothing else other than Karai/Leo holding a grudge.

- Movies: April/Casey

- Archie: Raph/Ninjara

- Mirage: April/Casey, some one off stuff never to be spoken of again

- Nick: Don/April, Casey/April, possible Leo/Karai

- IDW: April/Casey, possibly Angel/Casey too



TMNT is not known for shipping. Raph had a few love interests but that's usually it.

You are so wrong, Cubed. In the original toon, I've seen Raph/Mona Lisa, Don/Irma, Mikey/Kala, Mikey/April, Leo/Lotus, and even Leo/April.

4Kids: Don/April, Leo/Karai, Raph/Angel, Mikey/Renet, April/Casey, Leo/Usagi were some of the ones I saw.

Movies: Mikey/Mitsu and April/Casey are the ones I can think of, though I'm sure there are some who may ship Raph/Keno. I'm not sure on that one though.

Archie: Raph/Ninjara and Mikey/Oyuki are two I've seen.

Mirage: April/Casey, Leo/Radical, Raph/Lucindra, Don/Jhanna and that's all I can think of there.

Nick: Don/April, Leo/Karai, Casey/April for now. I'm sure there could be either Don/Irma or even Mikey/Irma based on a joke Ciro said to Greg Cipes about saving Irma for Mikey. And maybe if another character gets introduced like Mona Lisa or someone else, they could be paired with Raph.

I'm not that familiar with IDW, so I can't really comment on that. Sorry.

So, you're totally wrong on all of that, Cubed. Shipping DOES happen in TMNT. You're just too narrow-minded to really see the big picture like the rest of us. And also don't forget the Turtle/OC pairings you see in fan fiction. Yes, I'm guilty of it myself, and I'm proud of it.
