Summary of some answers from today's Q&A with Ron Corcillo!
Bullet points are below the cut, since it's a pretty long list! Some combine multiple answers, and they're categorized for ease of reading (obviously not every single answer is included, but I tried to get most of the ones I thought people might find interesting!)
Apocalyptic Future
The turtles were fighting side by side with Cassandra when Casey Jr was born, and Leo trained him to be a warrior. Casey Jr only has brief memories of his mother from when he was very young, and he was mostly raised by Leo.
The chips on Leo's plastron are probably battle scars.
Mikey was likely the equivalent of being in his 70's. He was powerful enough that he could unlock almost any mystic ability you could think of, but using them took a toll on him physically. The more powerful the ninpo, the more potential it has to sap your energy.
Mikey can open up portals through all of space and time (as opposed to Leo, who can mostly portal over relatively short distances), but it took him a long time to get to that level of ability.
Mikey probably grew a little taller than seen in the movie, but shrank as the use of his powers depleted him. Donnie would be slightly taller than Leo, and Raph would be at least 6'6".
The characters have obviously taken hits and lost some things from years of fighting the Krang, but Leo still does have his ninpo.
They never worked out the specifics for how Raph and Donnie died, just that they lost their lives in the war against the Krang.
Future Leo was mortally wounded in his bleeding side, and that was why he didn't go with Casey to the past.
If season 2 hadn't been cut short
The sudden declaration of Leo as leader wouldn't have happened, and was more of a joke because of how abruptly the show ended. The original plan was for the transition to be drawn out over much of season 3. Raph and Leo probably would have been co-leaders for a while, and the transfer of leadership wouldn't have caused tension since Raph would like to share the burden. There might have been some situations where Mikey or Donnie took the lead, too. Ron never saw the turtles as a group where there had to be one absolute leader.
Karai would have lived for much longer, and been training the boys in person for a number of episodes.
If there was a season 3 / plans they had for future seasons
They probably wouldn't have ever taken a dark turn with the show, but may have gotten into more of an extended plot line after the movie.
The missing sister who was Big Mama's henchperson would probably have been a very disciplined super serious ninja, to the point where she's actually funny. She was going to be named after a female artist, possibly Frida Kahlo, and the turtles would have had to win her back from Big Mama by helping her to see that she had been brainwashed as a child.
Their other missing sister was going to be trapped in another dimension for years, and might have been "a little kooky" from being there so long. The turtles would have split up to rescue their sisters, but there were no definite plans beyond that.
We would definitely see Casey Jr again. Ron would love to see a spin-off where Casey and Cassandra roam the world and fight the Krang and remnants of the Foot.
It was going to be revealed that a Krang spaceship had crashed into the back of the crying titan in the Hidden City. The ship's fuel was the source of the ooze that gives the Yokai their power, and possibly the origin of the Yokai themselves. The crashed spaceship is what drew the invasion there a thousand years ago.
Mikey's powers could have opened the door to some multiverse episodes.
We might have seen some redemption from Big Mama, but then also seen her relapse to her villainous ways.
The Rat King likely would have been the next big villain. Shredder's story is pretty resolved, so they wouldn't have gone back to him, but maybe they could have revived the dark armor. There were no existing plans for Bishop, but once the turtles became better known heroes, he could be a thorn in their side. They would have done a lot more with the Krang.
Donnie probably thinks he's much smarter than Raph, so it would have been fun to do an episode where he got to see how Raph beats him in common sense and emotional intelligence.
The turtles would probably talk to Karai's Hamato spirit when they need guidance.
Season 3 would pick up where the movie left off. They would have launched a new story right away, but the aftermath would have been in the background. We would have seen how they changed as a result of the movie events, as well as how they deal with now being in the public eye as heroes.
Miscellaneous
The 2012 series was very traditional TMNT, so a big goal of Rise was to mix things up. Making Raph the leader opened up a lot of possibilities for both Leo and Raph: Raph didn't have to be angry all the time about not being the leader, and Leo was free to be cocky and fun-loving. It was a breath of fresh air for writers who had done previous TMNT versions.
As for how the turtles take after Yoshi: Donnie got a lot of his cockiness from him, as did Leo. Mikey senses that Yoshi misses his family, and that's part of the reason he always tries to hold the family together. Raph got his courage and sense of duty from him.
For Halloween, Raph would be a kitten, Mikey would be a lion, Leo would be a rock star, and Donnie would be J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Raph's favorite music is R&B, Leo's is glam rock, Donnie's is techno, and Mikey likes boy bands.
When asked about the turtles "favorite" brothers (obviously they all love each other): Mikey is Raph's favorite. As much as Leo gives Donnie a hard time, he really likes him. Ultimately, the three younger brothers all really look up to Raph.
The turtles all had their mystic powers inherently, but they didn't know it and couldn't unlock them without a little boost. Their mystic weapons acted as a conduit.
Splinter has a lot of power that hasn't been revealed, and there's a good chance he can do anything the boys can do if he really tries (which is how he could use Leo's portals). Their powers all would have grown and expanded over time.
Ron really likes fanart of the turtles, Splinter, and April in emotional family situations, as that is the heart of the show.
They didn't really get into romance in the show, but fans are free to use their imagination.
Hueso would never admit it, but he and Leo do have a close friendship.
While Ron doesn't think the show will be brought back any time soon since Nick's focus is on Mutant Mayhem (which he thinks Rise fans will enjoy, since they seem to have a lot in common), he does think it could be brought back further down the road. The most helpful thing is fans' continued support through watching, posting, and spreading the word!

So something that I noticed with the latest update for @somerandomdudelmao’s apocalyptic AU
Tumblr media
CJ hugging Leo from the end of the first arc
Tumblr media
CJ hugging Uncle Tello from the most recent post
It’s the same hug. Koala CJ. Same hug, different font. Also because I gotta make everything sad and angsty, this implies that CJ thought of Leo as dead when he babied because it’s the same hug that they give Donnie after knowing they were dead.

Rise is just like “we must have the scariest versions of all the classic TMNT villains”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mean Shredder was a demon, the Krang were terrifying & caused an apocalypse & even though we don’t directly see the Triceratons in Rise, Krang Prime’s throne is made from a Triceraton skull showing that the Rise versions of Triceratons are ACTUAL GIANTS.
People say that it’s interesting that the Rise Turtles are one of the only versions of the Turtles that were mutated on purpose but honestly these boys would not be able to survive their villains without Draxum making them to be literal super soldiers

I think the alleyway where the Turtles built their fake paper store in Origami Tsunami is the same alleyway where Donnie & Mikey built their fake shop in One Man’s Junk
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Turtle’s having a specific alleyway for their little cardboard shops feels kind of cute

Someone made a joke about an online friend (that always has an Isabelle profile picture) floating in a void on a lawn chair, so this was created. I did not draw the lawn chair, that is from a clip art. #art #artwork #artist #artistsoninstagram #isabelle #animalcrossing #space #autodesksketchbook #aggieio #aggieioart #aggieiodrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CjV9wOIOUK_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

things that have happened today
i went to work in brads clothes because they refuse to turn the ac on in my building so i have been living in his room and was writing a paper last night and didnt feel like walking back to get new clothes. despite this, i still managed to be entirely in dress code
while at work my coworker and i were processing the direct returns and found a bathing suit with no tags whatsoever and spent a half hour combing online to locate it
we found another bathing suit in the bin that someone had returned because she bought it the same day her mom died and didnt want to wear it anymore
i got a summer job that they originally rejected me for
a customer tried to purchase something with a gift card that wasnt working but it still charged her gift card and this happened while manager 1 was on a meal break and manager 2 was on a call. manager 1 clocked back in to help me with the situation and we ended up calling four separate people before being told that we couldnt do shit about it
said lady whos gift card it was left her airpods in the dressing room
brad had ordered glasses that never delivered because they got lost in the mail and got a refund and then they showed up so he got free designer glasses
coworker sliced open her toe on a door while getting shipment
as i was leaving other coworker announced that she smelled smoke
brad and i went to where he works after i was done working and his coworker said that we look so cute together “how can i have kids after seeing the two of you together”
my dad started a groupchat with brad and i to show us a poke bowl that he was eating
brad got an internship for the summer that they kind of left him on read for a month about
i finished all my assignments for the year
brad somehow accidentally brought a tub of spices with him to the dining hall
the dining hall served breakfast for dinner, which never happens ever
i got free ice cream
reblog to have a wild day ig
