Mystic Sickness Part 1
This is based on @turtleblogatlast 's post about mystic sickness idea :D Hope you like it!!!

Raph has had his bad mornings. He had been sick from overworking too. With how he felt today, he could tell it was a mix of both.
Except it turned out there was more than that. It must be, or else why would a clone of himself stare at him like that?
Raph yelped as he fell from the bed. "What the-?!"
His copy didn't seem to care. It lay on his bed, not even looking at Raph. The turtle blinked in confusion. That was definitely his own ninpo copy. Why was it here, and why was it moving like that? Raph tried to focus and control it, just like he always did, but he failed. The copy still lay on the bed.
He stared at him. Raph was too tired for that, not to mention how early it was-
"AH-"
Raph turned around. "Leo?"
There was nobody else in his room though.
"Is this some sort of joke?" Raph grunted. "If so, Raph's going back to bed and leavin' you to deal with today's plans alone. All day."
"RAPH NO-"
He turned around again, looking everywhere searching for his brother. Again, nothing.
"I am really not in the mood for pranks-"
Suddenly Leo appeared in front of him, "RAPH HELP I-" and disappeared.
Raph looked at the empty spot where a second ago his brother stood. First his own copy, now Leo. What was going on?
"RAAAAAPH!!"
Raph groaned, “WHAT IS IT DONNIE?”
“WHAT THE HECK ARE YOUR COPIES DOING?!”
His copies? Raph glanced at his copy on his bed before leaving his room and heading to the living room. He had many ideas, most of them nonsense considering his tired and hazy mind. But nothing could’ve prepared him for this:
Many copies of himself running around, accidentally breaking some stuff, some sitting in random places... Donnie was standing at the other entrance, looking tired and angry. Pissed off even.
He noticed Raph looking. “Dear brother, may you explain what is going on during such an early hour that you have decided bring out a whole army of yous?”
“It is not me...” Raph mumbled as he walked towards Donnie, not being able to look away from the chaos going on in the room.
“They are your copies though. Can’t you control them?” Donnie pointed out. “Genuinely asking. I am too tired to be salty.”
“I tried but it is not working.” Raph tried again, failing. Then gave his full attention to Donnie, “You are tired too?”
“I suspect I have caught a cold.” He nodded.
“Me too. I’ve been feeling down since I woke up.”
“Groan. It better not be some sort of illness.” Donnie said.
“As long as it is not rat flu, it will be okay.” Raph reassured.
Donnie shuddered. “Rat flu. Let’s forget about the failure and move on to our current problem.”
“Cold or them?” Raph asked.
“...” Donnie stared at nothing before answering. A usual sign of Donnie being sick. “Yes.”
“Okay, okay. Sickness. Leo has the most knowledge about this.” Raph said out loud. “I’ll go and ask him.”
“Mhm.” Donnie had already begun walking towards the kitchen.
Raph started walking towards Leo’s room, ignoring the messy hallway. Since when did they have all that stuff and who was responsible for this mess? Probably his clones... When he reached to the room, “Leo?” he called. He received no reply. Raph didn’t bother asking again. He walked in, not caring about Leo’s upcoming protests. Except there was none because Leo wasn’t in there. “What?..”
Oh. Right, he had seen Leo for a second in his room for a second. He had appeared and disappeared as if teleporting. But Raph didn’t remember seeing his katanas. He glanced around and saw the swords near his bed on the ground. He was right.
What did this mean?.. What was going on this morning?? Raph began getting annoyed with whatever was going on. Not to mention how anxious he started feeling not finding Leo in his room. Where was he?
Maybe he was with Mikey. Maybe they were doing some stupid prank.
Raph a bit faster from before left the room and began walking towards Mikey’s room. Normally Mikey would be up, making breakfast. But if he and Donnie were right, he should be in his room resting. As he stepped into Mikey’s room, he hopped to see him and Leo doing some sort of mischief.
Instead, he found Mikey levitating, golden chains around him, asleep.
“What the shell?!”
Mikey yawned, blinking. “Mmmmmorning Raphie!” He smiled, being the morning person he was. “Is there any possibility you let me sleep a bit more?”
“Mikey, you are flying.”
“What?”
“Look around, Mike.”
Mikey did. In a second his expression shifted from confused to shocked to excited to panicked. “I AM FLYING!”
“THAT’S WHAT I AM SAYING!” Raph yelled. “GET BACK TO THE GROUND NOW.”
“I DON’T KNOW HOW TO!”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON’T KNOW?!”
“Boys, what is all this yelling for?..” Raph heard Splinter’s voice come from behind. Then he heard a gasp. “ORANGE WHY ARE YOU LEVIATING?”
“I have no idea.” Mikey answered. He noticed the chains around him, “Oooh I also have no idea what these are but cool.”
Raph took a deep breath. “Okay. Okay. First things first. Pops, have you seen Leo?”
“Uh- no. No, I haven’t.” Splinter turned his attention to Raph, less surprised and more worried.
“Mikey, did you see him?”
“Nope!”
So Leo was lost. Don’t panic Raph. He is probably somewhere around here, he thought. “I’ll text April.”
“Red, is everythin—”
Suddenly, just like how it happened in Raph’s room, Leo appeared in the room. He looked very puzzled, tired, annoyed, and a bit panicked. Before Raph could be sure, Leo disappeared again.
His voice, however, was heard from another room. “COME ON!!”
And then from another room, they heard him again. Raph couldn’t make up the words but he sounded irritated.
“Was that Leo?” Mikey asked.
“Yes.” Raph answered, still very confused.
“Where did he go?”
“I don’t know.”
“Boys, what is going on?” Splinter sounded serious.
Raph sadly didn’t have a proper answer. “That’s what I am trying to figure out.” He sighed. “Can you check Donnie? He is in the kitchen and said that he felt sick too.”
“I will be waiting you two there.” Splinter nodded. “I’ll look around for Blue on the way.”
“CAN SOMEONE—”
Leo’s voice came from his room.
“—HELP ME—”
This time from somewhere closer.
“I think I can handle him.” Raph said.
Splinter smiled, “I’ll make you chicken soup.”
“Thanks Dad.”
As Splinter left, Raph reached for Mikey. Grabbing his blanket, he pulled him closer to him. Mikey watched him with sleepy eyes. “Raphie, can we sleep more?”
“No, Big Man. We need to help Leo first, and then we need to eat something.” Raph said softly, walking out of the room meanwhile. Mikey huffed but didn’t protest. Raph decided to find Leo following his voice: “Leo? Where are you?”
“RAPH! Bathroom—” Suddenly his voice was cut. Then continued from somewhere else, “Never mind. I-” Another pause. The Leo calmly yelled, “I’ll go insane.”
“What’s happening?” Raph shouted.
“I keep teleported-” “-without wanting-” “-to every second.”
“That sounds bad.”
“You don’t say-” “DONNIE IS THA-” “THAT WAS MY MUG!!”
At least Leo didn't teleport out of the lair.
"I think we should call Draxum." Mikey hummed, somehow unbothered.
"Wha- why?" Splinter's reaction hadn't changed even after everything.
"He knows about mystic stuff." Mikey said lazily. It reminded Raph of how he was when he had eaten one of the poisoned pizza puffs.
"You think this is because of a mystic problem?" Raph asked.
"I know it is because of a mystic problem." Mikey confirmed.
"How?"
"Can't you feel it? Hm?"
Raph wasn't sure what he was supposed to feel. Donnie leaned towards them, goggles on his eyes. "He is right. There is something wrong with our mystic energies."
"I'm calling Draxum." Raph announced.
"Already on it." Donnie interrupted. He, from out of nowhere, had found his phone and was calling the yokai.
"Please tell me you're solving this." Leo appeared next to Raph, not looking good.
"We're calling Draxum." Mikey smiled.
"Oh good, because I- hrk-"
Luckily before he could throw up, he disappeared.
"We need you here. No, we didn't put the world in danger. We aren't dying either. No, we aren't calling you so you can cook us your new abomination. Abomination as a strange creature made of food, i.e. Sloppy Joseph. No, I'm not talking about your food. Yes. There's a problem with our ninpo. Okay, goodbye." Donnie put the phone on the table. "He'll be here soon."
"Good… Donnie, what's that?" Raph pointed at the tech that wasn't on the table a second ago.
"Ah. A piece for my new project. Why?"
"When did you bring it here?"
"...I didn't."
"What do you mean I didn't?"
Donnie raised a brow. "I didn't bring it here. I was thinking about it and it appeared."
"Appeared?"
Donnie shrugged.
"Since when do things appear when you think of them, Dee?" Raph questioned.
"That's a talent of mine, dear Raphael. My ninpo is very unique in comparison to yours–" Donnie began explaining.
"Since when do they appear without you controlling them?" Raph corrected his own question.
"Ah. Yes, that would be… since last night."
"And you didn't think of telling us?" Raph was losing his patience, to be honest.
"I didn't think it would be a problem." Donnie admitted.
Raph wanted to break the table. "You thought it wouldn't be a problem." He repeated. "And what if you accidentally create something deadly?"
"Come on Raph, he creates something deadly all the time." Mikey chimed in. "Like pipe bombs."
"Mikey, don't!" But Raph was too late. A pipe bomb was formed next to Donnie's mug.
"None of us is dumb enough to use a pipe bomb, we will be fine." Donnie stated. Then took a sip from his tea.
Raph wasn't sure about that. He trusted his brothers, but he also knew how much of a trouble they could be.
Leo appeared among them again. "Dee, I'd suggest you not enter your lab." He said tiredly.
"Nardo, what did you do to my lab?" Donnie looked at him with a mixture of horror and anger.
"Adiós." He made a peace sign and disappeared again.
Donnie immediately opened his phone to check the cameras inside his laboratory. Raph could see the fury in his eyes. Maybe Leo was lucky to be teleported every second, now that he got on Donnie's hit list.
Splinter put bowls of chicken soup in front of them, "You boys look terrible."
"Thanks." Raph sighed.
"You'll feel much better after my delicious soup." He said. "Now, only if Blue could join us…"
The soup was warm and smelled delicious. Raph couldn't wait to taste it. He would already, if he hadn't noticed his copy coming in. Ninpo Raph walked towards them, stood by them, then took the pipe bomb and ran.
"What the-?! HEY STOP!" Raph got up and ran after him, leaving Mikey to float again.
He chased his clone back to the living room, but it was hard to catch yourself. Especially in a room full of yourself. He stopped, trying to find which one was the right clone. When he did, he was leaving towards the bathroom. Raph didn't waste time following him. Before he reached him though, someone made his copy trip and fell.
"This yours, Boss Man?" Leo asked.
"Yep." And with a punch, poof the copy disappeared. "Thanks."
"Save me some soup." Leo said before getting teleported again.
"I will." Raph sighed, taking the pipe bomb from the ground. He could hide it in his room for now. Then go back and drink some soup so he can focus on the situation better when Draxum arrives. Perfect plan.
He quickly walked to his room, found a nice place to hide it, and proceeded to grab his mask and stuff. Then he remembered the transceivers Donnie had put on their gear. They could use this to communicate with Leo! If only Leo can stand in a place for a moment. Raph still thought it was worth a try, so he went to Leo’s room to get his stuff as well before returning to the kitchen.
Donnie had dozed off on the table with a few weapons and tech things that Raph didn’t know their names around him. Mikey was still floating, also sleeping. He seemed to be fine though. Splinter was enjoying his own bowl of soup. Raph sat down and finally tasted the soup. It was delicious, as always, even though it wasn’t warm anymore.
“Did you boys mess up with somebody evil again?” Splinter asked Raph.
“No, we were training and patroling the past few days.” He answered. “That’s what I don’t understand too.”
“Hmm...”
“Don’t worry, Pops. I am sure it is something Draxum can explain. Then we can fix it all at once and then rest.”
Not only this but he’s also CONSTANTLY being discredited and ignored because his ideas are “not good” or too out of pocket.
When he has an idea on how to defeat the shredder in Many Unhappy Returns? Good ideas first Mikey. And he’s just dismissed.
He spends a lot of the episodes being babied and not being trusted by his brothers. For example, in Flushed, But Never Forgotten, Mikey spends half the episode trying to convince his brothers that Piebald is back, but they don’t believe him, repeatedly saying that it’s in his head. Sure, he has a hyperactive imagination, but spending your whole life not being trusted hurts.
Litteraly screaming why is no one talking about Mikeys trauma!?? Sure Raph has big sister syndrome, Leo has an inferiority complex, Donnie feels unwanted and invalidated but who's the one legit giving them therapy sessions over these kind of stuff!? Don't get me wrong what the other turtles are feeling are valid but Mikeys truama is just as valid as any of the other bros trauma!
He was backstabbed by his idol, has an overprotective bro (Raph, but I'm not saying he's a bad brother let me get that straight with y'all he's amazing!), LEGIT BROUGHT THEIR FAMILY TOGETHER BY HELPING DRAXUM OUT! FUCK, HE NEARLY GOT CRUSHED WITH DONNIE IN THE MOVIE AND NONE OF Y'ALL TALK ABOUT IT!? HE DESERVES LOVE TOO!!
Introducing.. the Hololeo AU!
I’ve sketched it before, just never really spoken abt it outside friends- essentially it’s inspired by the idea of the robo future raph concept and an old amphibia au of mine!
Basically, Leo ends up dying the day after the kraang invasion finishes. Donnie, struggling the most out of his siblings to process this, builds a personality-accurate chatbot to talk to, just until he can properly process he’s actually gone. However due to reasons not even Donnie himself understands, the bot becomes sentient. Not just running on code, but actually learning and understanding, aswell as demanding to leave the lab so he can talk to the others. Donnie considers shutting him off, but ends up building a body for Hololeo.
Problem is, Hololeo’s vision and memories are altered so in his vision he looks like the old leo, and the actual ending of the rise movie is how he thinks the invasion ended! So when mikey and then raph and april accidentally discover Hololeo, they decide to just.. keep him around.
They couldn’t just deactivate him.
Hololeo resumes the leadership role that April took over temporarily, assuming the weird looks he gets from Raph and Mikey sometimes are because of him sacrificing himself to the kraang, but hey, he came back, right?
Well, after a mission goes wrong, Hololeo’s hologram vision breaks (and his arm, because it is a legal requirement for leo to lose an arm in every au /hj) all is revealed to him. Leading to the newly crisis-ing robot turtle to run off into the hidden city to process.
Though, unbeknownst to his siblings or even he himself, Hololeo might be more Leo than he thinks.
And that’s the basic au premise hfjshfhs
Please ask questions if you have any ^^
I can’t risk it
For those of you confused, Donnie lost his tech Bo in part two of the season two finale, Shreddy or Not, in the same episode that the other turtles lost their weapons.
Now, he didn’t have a grand “oh no!” Scene for his breaking, mostly because it wasn’t mystic and it wouldn’t hold as much of an influence as the other boy’s did, because their weapons were quite literally irreplaceable. Like sure, it would be tedious, but Donnie could’ve made his tech Bo again. The boys, however, couldn’t replicate their mystic weapons if they tried, not without the help of someone in the hidden city. And may I remind you that last time they went there, they literally ALL (except for Mikey and Splinter) got thrown in jail.
As you can see in this scene (sorry for the quality), which takes place within the last minute of Shreddy or Not, Donnie still has his tech Bo! This takes place after the turtles have all lost their weapons and are evacuating the lair.
With Leo trying to stay behind and Raph focusing on getting Leo out, there’s nobody to focus on the fact that the lair is literally falling apart around them. Nobody but Donnie, of course.
The pole above their head, keeping the rubble from falling onto them and crushing them, that’s Donnie’s tech bo. And as we can see a few scenes later,
It isn’t doing too well.
A few seconds later, and it is crushed underneath the rubble of their home. Unfortunate, really.
As for why Donnie kept his normal Bo staff (which he got in the next episode from a rake that Todd gave him, but that’s a talk for another day), I presume that is was ease.
Using the normal bo staff combined with his ninpo, he could do everything his tech bo could do and more. He could add onto it and use it as he liked, and all he had to do was think of it.
Also think about time, and how the movie fits in with the series. According to the people who made rise, the movie only takes place a couple of months after the series finale of the show. They must’ve spent a long time between then moving in to their new home, or just making their abandoned subway station livable. While doing this, they would’ve also had to keep up with whatever shenanigans were going on in New York, like the villains and whatever they got up to, and probably keeping Cassandra in check.
I also have a hunch that, with him not understanding mystics and not having a mystic weapon before, Donnie would want to study how it works. Although he originally didn’t like mystics, I think he would be at least a little curious about this ancient mystic art that’s been passed down by his family for centuries that he had no clue about. Just a hunch.
Uh. Anyways thanks for letting me infodump, I like to watch this show really hard.
It took me way too long to realize but I cannot tell you how devastated I was when I found out Donnie had a normal Bo-Staff in the movie
Like imagine how upset S1 Donnie would be
another really fantastic detail from the s2 finale regarding Leo's powers... I've always loved the hell out of what they did cinematically with it, it looks and feels incredible and kicks total ass. initially I was under the impression that he was replacing his portals with his swords; that he was "traveling through" them per-say. but here --
...we can actually see Leo materializing SEPARATELY from his sword! you can see in the following frame he actually dissipates again and his sword continues flying along the same path untouched, inertia unaffected.
...and then he materializes again to properly align with it and catch it!
he's entirely not in contact with it but is implied to have already crossed spacetime. which means Leo can just... Do That. he's rapidly bending space to transmit his goddamn subatomic particles to a new location. the purpose of the swords isn't to do the portaling; it's to work as a landing pad. it's a vector point by which he re-solidifies the mass he's transporting. a familiar homing beacon he can align himself with on the fly.
disaster twins as stuff me and my sibling said PART THREE BAY BEEEEEEEEE (the colors didnt change ur crazy /j) (part 1) (part 2)
also i showed my sibling these and. the way they reacted was so donniecore. i had to draw it.
TELL ME IF U CANT READ MY HANDWRITING IT IS VERY VERY BAD. also it's rushed cuz im running low on time and i wanted to post ANYWAYS.
So I may just be a nerd, but school’s starting again, and I keep having to make these “things that describe me!” Papers and drawings but I can’t draw the turtles that well yet and I doubt these teachers want to hear me go on and on about this show.
So instead I went for the most subtle reference while still being the most out there reference that I could think of. Know the series well, you got it! Don’t know it? It’s not in your face.
Also drawn with crayon because it is my favorite thing to draw with.
NEXT AU ON THE BRAIN
Chasing Shadows (named after the song)
(essentially the entire plot) (did not expect to be able to draw Kraang first try ajgbksjrgbksg)
(oh erm , this is also not one with a happy ending)
Leo survives the final attack of the Kraang, and salvages a single old Walkman having belonged to Donnie, as well as the Resistance Karaoke machine, containing all the recordings of their singing and cheesy songs.
Now he runs across the ruined world, surviving purely to spite of the Kraang. And to keep alive the spirit of the resistance in this timeline.
(a little concept art doodle) (I like drawing snow :))
eventually he is hunted down and captured. And becomes a prisoner aboard the techno drome. A living trophy of the Kraang's victory over the planet. There he discovers Donnie has become the Technodrome.
It is customary for the Kraang to appoint the greatest mind of their most recent conquest as the new mind of the Technodrome. Slowly, he gets Donnie to remember who he is, Leo's twin, his brother, his family. They plot to escape togehter.
This meaning, Donnie is uploaded into Leo's Walkman. Like GladOs into the potato. Supercomputer put into silly tech is my favorite thing okay.
The ending... not very happy I am afraid. they make one last trip, when they decide to journey back home. After a long journey, they arrive at their original sewer home, Leo severely wounded stumbles into the ruins of the lair. Where they record one last song on the Walkman together, the last voices of the resistance.
welp! That's it :) there is a THIRD Au- but If I draw that my hand WILL fall off
Here-> Life is strange AU
(Please tell me if you would like to see more of this AU because I will give the internet strangers what they want, they live in my walls)
There are so many fun Disaster Twins parallels I caught the last time I binged Rise
I’m mainly going to start with lines before I get into some deeper stuff in part two, but as far as I’ve seen this pair seems to have the most parallels and I love it
Both the sillies have a line about sounding naturally sarcastic: “And I know everything I say sounds sarcastic, but I’m being completely genuine… This time.”
“Oh sure, let me just load my Tap Into Every Security Camera in New York app! I’m sorry if that sounded like sarcasm it wasn’t I am in.”
They both land on Warren in his first episode 😂
These sillies in Bug Busters:
Also LOOK at these guys in their matching cutesy pajamas
Donnie teasing his brothers and hitting them with the tennis balls all smug in Smart Lair feels very Leo of him
Leo being the naysayer of the group in The Gumbus and constantly insisting there has to be some kind of logical/scientific explanation is very Donnie of him
“There has to be a simple answer. Earthquake, magnets, giant prankster mice. There’s no such thing as ghosts!” “A model train. Simple answer.” “Aha! Right? The simple answer!”
Donnie has a funny line about Dragons (and their teeth) not existing, both these moments being ironic since discovering yokai, the Hidden City and the whole mystics world makes dragons and ghosts not just possible, but proven real
Their iconic weird showing-off-clothes poses in Purple Jacket and Late Fee
These lines:
“Can’t we get new brothers?!”
“We have to go back for our brothers! Or are you gonna replace them, too?!”
“Guh-ee…”
They are also the only two characters with lines mentioning they think Splinter would’ve been cooler specifically as a tiger 😂 While I love the Eric Bauza/Tigerclaw references to ‘12, otherwise the comments are rather random other than saying tigers are cooler than rats. It made me realize how much they really do think alike. “You’re just a rat, we need a tiger.” “Yeah sure you’re a rat and it probably would’ve been cooler if you were like a tiger or something.”
More similar lines when they both break the fourth wall: “One season later and I still have fully battery!” “If this isn’t the poster shot, someone’s getting fired.”
Leo’s chosen last words: “With my last breath I told you sooooo!”
Donnie’s chosen last words: “At least I shall perish knowing I was the better brother.” (a lie)
I believe they’re also the only ones to call Splinter Papa whereas Raph and Mikey use ‘Pops’ more
And last but not least, their shared aversion to Staten Island
Bottom line, the rottmnt writers practically made their twinship canon without realizing it sooo it’s pretty much undeniable now 😊
So this is a little guy I drew for a fic I’m writing!! I started drawing what I wanted him to look like, and afterwards I looked at him and realized that he was literally just a ferret version of a griffin. So he’s a little guy!! The fic is called Sleeping is for losers anyways. Idk the exact colors for this guy yet except for neon purple and green, but maybe I’ll get around to it.
It's hard being a ghost. It's hard and no one understands.
(I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good by @dandylovesturtles really has no mercy for Leo, he can't even chill on his own bed after having his soul ripped out of his body, this is the worst thing that happened to him, ever 😔)
i love the idea of splinter waking up one morning and donnies just looming over him and says ‘hello father’ and scares the shit out of him.
or splinters rounding up the boys for breakfast and theyre all chirping happily, then donnie waddles in and says something only donnie would say as his first words
Donnie’s Autotuned Sneeze

AWWWW PB&J THROWING EACH OTHER FKLJH SO COOL
THIS NEEDS TO BE THEIR THING!🧡💜💜🧡
Oh Leo absolutely can cook ❤
RISE TWITTER QNA! no major news or announcements, but here's a list of new information and confirmations:
S3 could be brought back as a retro show in the future, but it probably wouldn't happen anytime soon (focus is on mutant mayhem at the moment)
it was never decided whether capril would be friends or girlfriends (due to rise's focus on platonic relationships)
council of heads! they're in power, but a lot of influential yokai (like big mama) aren't easily controlled, and "game the system"
despite not having his dual katana, supposedly f!leo DOES still have mystic powers
ron corcillo would love to see a spin-off focused on the caseys (if rise were ever continued), and likes the potential of a raph + casey vigilante duo
the turtles got their names after splinter's love for renaissance art
big mama's henchman WAS planned to be the missing sister, and rather than venus de milo, she would've been named after a female artist (possibly frida kahlo)
for halloween: raph dressed up as a kitten, mikey as a lion, leo as a rockstar, and donnie as j. robert oppenheimer
the mystic weapons stolen from draxum acted as a conduit to help the boys unlock their innate mystic powers with a "little boost"
they didn't realise mayhem's potential as a character/force until too late, but it could've been fun to do some stories of him being an operative (a la perry the platypus)
there weren't any planned stories for side villains (aside from the foot's cupcake shop), most focus was on the turtles
not much on casey jr's backstory, just that cass and the turtles were fighting the krang and leo raised him as a warrior. casey jr only has brief memories of cass from when he was very young, and was mostly raised by leo
there were definitely six baby turtles (two sisters)! and the turtles were gonna split up to rescue the one with big mama and the one in "the dimension", but they never planned much of it out
there's most likely a time gap between the rescuing leo and the ending scene of the movie, as "after a fight like that, [everyone] would definitely crash and need some recovery time"
there would've been more big mama in future episodes, and stinkbomb was planned to return
since the turtles became known to the public at the end of the movie, they'd have to fight to retain their reputation. this and their reception to criticism/backlash would've become a major arc.
on brother rankings: mikey is definitely raph's favourite, and they all look up to raph
the stronger someone's ninpo is, the greater the drain on their energy is (as seen with f!mikey and karai)
there wouldn't be much threat on villains going after casey jr's future intel, because most of it would've been rendered obsolete
nickelodeon would never give up the rights to rise, but they could license it to a partner company (such as IDW for a comic!)
as previously mentioned, the 2nd sister would've been trapped in "another dimension" and venus/frida would have to be won over by "helping her see that she had been brainwashed [by big mama] as a child" (and redeemed)
given more time, the show would've fleshed out: the hamato story, the hidden city's origins (krang spaceship that crashed into the crying titan being the source of the ooze, its fuel being what gave the yokai mystic powers), and would've used the rat king (who ron corcillo would've liked to be a powerful yokai with rat-like abilities and some form of mind control, who could've threatened the council of heads for power in the hidden city)
as far as we know, the turtles (aside from leo's spanish) only speak english (and even their english is sometimes a bit off)
rise probably wouldn't have ever "gone dark", but after the turtles were publicly known and full-time heroes, it might've had more of an extended plotline
the turtle's casual clothes somewhat reflect their music tastes (r&b for raph, glam rock for leo, techno (and 80s) for donnie and boy band for mikey)
future heights: mikey grew a bit and then shrunk under mystic strain, leo was at least 6ft, donnie a little taller than leo, and raph at least 6'6
mikey's powers could get pretty intense, which could've resulted in some multiverse episodes (ron corcillo would be most inclined to do a 12 crossover, but any could work). while leo portals short distances, mikey's cross space and time (with great effort)
given more time, how the turtles met april would've been fleshed out
in terms of how they take after splinter: donnie and leo have a lot of his cockiness, raph his courage and sense of duty, and mikey senses him missing his family (which is part of the reason of why he tries to hold everyone together)
given more time they would've done more with the transfer of leadership from raph to leo (and originally the plan was to draw that out over S3, rather than the abrupt S2 ending). they would've been co-leaders for a while, and at times mikey or donnie would lead (they aren't really a group with just one leader archetype)
there were plans for april to have more time with the specific turtles other than donnie (like how the gumbus was focused on her mikey and leo)
the cast's mystic abilities would've increased over time, and splinter has a lot of power that hasn't been revealed (as he spent a lot of time in the hidden city in his past)
venus/frida would've been very disciplined and so serious that's she's funny, and the dimension sister would've been "a little kooky"
there weren't really any plans on how the turtles would look in cloaked human forms, just that they'd resemble lou jitsu and may be inspired by their VAs
mikey is the only brother who can fully pull all his limbs and head into his shell (being a box turtle)
any usagi appearances would be a rights matter, and depend on collaboration
on timelines: april is 16 at the start of the series and 18 in the movie, but exactly how much time passes isn't confirmed
ron corcillo would've liked to do more donnie + raph episodes, like one where despite how donnie considers himself smarter, raph ends up beating him in common sense and emotional intelligence
f!leo didn't go with casey jr to the past due to being mortally wounded in his bleeding side
given more time there would've been more flashback episodes with the turtles at various ages
though he'd never admit it, hueso has a close relationship with leo
in early S3 there would've been an episode of setting up the new lair
mystic warrior f!mikey is pretty old (maybe in his 70s), and is strong enough to use basically any mystic power, but at great cost to him physically
no major plans with bishop, but once the turtles became more well-known he could be a bit of a thorn in their sides (like j. jonah jameson to spiderman)
there might've been some redemption from big mama, but also some relapses into her "villainous ways"
given a full season, karai would've been alive for longer, and would've trained the boys for a number of episodes
confirmation that some of early s1 aired in the wrong order (which the writers weren't happy about)
in rise, there's always an unpredictability as to how sentient a mutant will turn out to be
raph probably wouldn't be super uptight about swearing, provided the boys weren't offending anyone
there weren't any plans for romantic relationships (and DEFINITELY never an april-turtles love interest), but if they had ever tried something eventually it would've been with the same species
there were no specific plans for alopex, rita, or rennet, but anything's a possibility
in terms of the 1000 years ago krang/mystic timeline, the spaceship crashed first (possibly spawning the yokai), and other krang followed it, drawing in the invasion
that seems to be about it but if there's any more i'll do a reblog with additions
Winners!
Congratulations to Leonardo & the damn window he always gets thrown through for winning the teamup tournament!
rise villains are like
gordon ramsey cannibal
wrestler who makes it his life mission to destroy anything they love (unrelated to them being ninja turtles, simply a hater of teens)

couple of gays in showbiz (not musical theatre, diversity win)
scifi actor whos gone crazy and thinks aliens are real (hes right, but for the wrong reasons)
an evil dentist (average dentist)
their estranged dad and their step mom (unrelated to each other)
