With so much thanks to all of our wonderful and amazing contributors, we are so proud to be able to share this with every one of our members of TCEST nation.

Without further ado, your 2024 "OT4Ever Zine: Celebrating 40 years of TCEST"

Some cuties on paper<3

1) Leo/Raph

2) Donnie/Mikey

3) Mikey/Raph

4) OT4

5) Mikey/Leo

6) Donnie/Raph

7) Donnie/Leo

The only ships I actually ship out of all of these are Leo/Raph and Donnie/Mikey though….what can I say, I just love their chemistry and the way they, despite everything, respect and admire and love and care about each other in different ways! Leo and Raph fight constantly but obviously love and admire each other and just need to understand each other more, while Donnie and Mikey only bicker occasionally (Donnie’s actually the one who gets annoyed or exasperated sometimes, Mikey’s as blissfully oblivious as always), and obviously care about each other and admire each other’s strengths and just need Donnie to stop underestimating Mikey.

These two pairs are amazing, and I can 100% see them becoming endgame (obviously not visibly in any canon version cuz those are all for kids and probably wouldn’t make incest openly canon, but in the story itself I can see it happening in the shadows, secretly, until both pairs find out about each other and then feel more at ease in their respective relationships, and then April and Casey find out, and while initially their human sensibilities kinda make them feel a bit weirded out about the incest thing, they get over it and become their #1 supporters, and then Master Splinter reveals that he knew about their mutual feelings all along, before they even started dating, and that he doesn’t mind as long as his sons are happy, and then they’re all happy......wow, this got long, I should wrap this up :3).

My first turtlecest art… I love them.
