Did someone order up some heroes on a half shell? I hope so because some triple double trouble is coming your way! This is the fifth and final piece in my 5 part TMNT series.

Raphael is storming through the sewers to help out the rest of the turtles on a mission. Will he get there in time? Of course he will! Is he gonna kick some major Foot clan butt? You better believe it! Join the party and get this print for yourself or your favorite mutated friend.

So I’ve been digging around the Turtlepedia wiki, going through old tweets from the team who worked on Rise & watched videos covering the scrapped Rise episodes so this is basically a post going through some of the scrapped season 2 stuff for Rise that I have found:

  • Rise was first written under the basis of there being three seasons

JJ Conway’s twitter posted an episode guide which showed some of the episodes that were expected to be in season two:

As you can see ‘The Clothes Don’t Make the Turtle’ was one of the last episode that was released that fit the original plan for Season 2 before most of the episodes got scrapped or changed & the Rise team had to rush to finish the series.

Some of the episodes we know the synopsis of while others still remain a mystery the scrapped episodes were listed in order as:

Wedding Smashers:

This episode involves Mikey & Raph going undercover as pretend villains ‘Shady Bug & Dr Rude’ to sneak into Ghost Bear’s Wedding after they accidentally gifted Ghost Bear one of Donnie inventions (a black hole generating toaster) as a wedding gift that they then need to retrieve.

The episode was supposed to introduce the character Ghostpepper, Ghostbear’s fiancé 

The episode also brings up some continuity in having the characters be aware that Meatsweats has been missing since the episode Pizza Puffs where he got kidnapped by ‘Shadow fiend’ at the end, I wish this episode hadn’t gotten scrapped because it shows that the Turtles are aware that their enemies are going missing when Big Mama starts kidnapping them for her Battle Nexus New York.

This episode most likely would have shown Ghostbear be kidnapped at the end like how Meatsweats was kidnapped at the end of Pizza Puffs & Hypno was kidnapped at the end of The Clothes Don’t Make the Turtle.   

Warren Stone 2: 

Donnie: Stand back total stranger we are fighting our greatest foe

April kept the arm that she cut off Warren in ‘Warren & Hypno Sitting in a Tree’ & the arm ended up growing into a second Warren Stone, despite April raising this second worm in secret Warren Stone Two ends up becoming the ‘turtles greatest foe’ after Warren Stone Two captures the Turtles, April & the original Warren Stone team up to save the Turtles & defeat Warren Stone 2

Parts of the episodes storyboards can be found on youtube, a running gag appears to be Mikey referring to Warren as ‘that other worm guy whose not Warren two’  

T-Hex

The episode T-Hex covers Mikey desperately wanting a robotic toy but Splinter saying no & Mikey having to sneak the electronic pet into the lair. Though the robot is adorable Mikey learns that it’s not as innocent as it seems & is actually a trap set by Baxter, the episode would have introduced Baxter in an Albearto mech

Psyched Out

Shred Dead Redemption

After the events of Manny Unhappy Returns the Foot Shack has shut down, Foot Lieutenant & Foot Brute open up a cupcake shop selling flaming cupcakes called  Fire and Icing which Raph wants to investigate 

The episode would have involved the Turtles doing a stakeout, a chase scene & the Foot clan putting themselves at odds with Big Mama as they investigate if her new champion ‘Shadow fiend’ has a connection to the missing Shredder.

The Island of Dr. Noe

Dr. Noe, the evil dentist from Todd Scouts ends up kidnapping Raph & Leo ends up having to lead the team in order to rescue Raph & stop the evil dentist.

Something interesting about this episode is when the Rise team were discussing this scrapped episode it was revealed that Leo wasn’t supposed to become the Leader at the end of Season 2, that’s right the iconic ‘Blue You Are The Leader Now’ wasn’t originally supposed to happen, instead Leo was supposed to be pushed into roles where he had to take charge throughout season 2 & the season would end with Raph & Leo as co-leaders.

Battle Nexus NYC (a full 20 minute episode) which was used in the series as Battle Nexus New York, the main difference between the original plan & the episode we got is that originally instead of Cassandra taking the Shredder from Big Mamma, the Grand Nexus Hotel was supposed to have fallen into the Hidden City with both Big Mamma & Shredder leaving The Foot to have to venture into the hidden city to try & retrieve the Shredder.

Toddler Mutant Ninja Turtles

A Mikey focused episode where a ‘bank robbing immortal jellyfish’ zaps Raph, Leo & Donnie, turning them into Turtle Tots & making Mikey the oldest brother for the episode. The episode is said to be inspired by the 1987 series episode ‘Adventures in Turtle Sitting’

Dog Dale Afternoon

April’s friend Dale who we first see in ‘Hypno! Part Deux’ gets turned into a werewolf by a witch & Donnie & April team up to try & turn him back to normal

Bee Story

Goyles Just Want To Have Fun

Huginn & Muninn reunite with Draxum, only to be confused when they find him working as a lunch server. Not wanting Huggin & Muninn to know how soft he’s gotten since his redemption Draxum begs the Turtles to help him look good in front of his former minions.

Rampagin’ Raph

Mikey & Leo have become more skilled in using their mystic powers making Raph feel left behind so Raph tries to practice in secret only to end up stuck in his giant form, Raph goes to to Draxum for help who ends up separating Raph & his mystic projection however the mystic projection ends up rampaging through the city becoming bigger & more powerful with the more things it destroys leaving Raph to have come clean to his brothers about what happened so they can save city. 

Hot Thrash  

Gourd Almighty 

Donnie grows a giant pumpkin for competition & has to have his brothers help him find a way to get the giant pumpkin out of the lair

Two pages of the episodes script were posted on Ron Corcillo’s twitter

A Spiders Web Widens 

Hidden City Heroes 

Gone Goat 

Draxum walks out after having a fight with the family but then gets kidnapped by the Foot. While attempting to rescue Draxum, the family has no choice but to resolve their issues relating to him.

The Key (a full 20 minute episode)

Karai was supposed to be introduced in this episode, she was supposed to have a larger role training the Turtles & with the family spanning around 10 episodes but due to the Rise team rushing to finish the series most of Karai’s episodes were scrapped.

The rest of the episode titles were not finalised however Ron Carney’s twitter posted a schedule board where possible episode titles can be seen.

Though Ron Carney also admitted that some of these titles are fake, the episode April Showers Mayhem Flowers might be real as the team admitted to wanting to do an episode about Mayhem & their status as an agent of the Council of Heads 

The Return of Monty Moose is also probably real as we can see Monty Moose appear in the Rise Movie’s scrapped intro so the team probably had plans for the character in season 2

Monty Moose is a toy line only character from the 1987 series so Rise introducing him as an actual character is kind of cool

My classes start tomorrow so I did a little thing for myself. Thinking about how they pretty much spend all their nights/free time fighting crime in the show, made me realize they do not know about Work/Life balance and probably are late sometimes lol

FEBUWHUMP 2025 PROMPT LIST

this year's prompts were chosen through an open suggestion poll (in which we received over 4,000 prompts) and a subsequent vote, where 5,019 votes were submitted. the top 28 make up the core prompts, and the febuwhump mod's favourites that remain have become the alternates. the first prompt in the 28, "vocal chords", was our number one prompt of the vote, with 1,625 total votes.

i am so insanely excited to see what you all create with these prompts, and i hope they're inspiring enough to trigger a whole month's worth of creativity for you!

as an extra added challenge, some creators will be undertaking another, smaller goal, of including apples in each of their prompt fills as an ode to the wildly popular prompt suggestion of "apples" that didn't make it through to the poll. this is totally optional, but is a good extra challenge if you'd like to take part in it!

if you have any questions, please check out the faq before sending an ask, or skim the blog's previously asked questions to see if your question has already been answered.

please note: notifying the blog of completionist status will happen through a google form released towards the end of febuwhump, and if you are interested in joining the febuwhmp discord server, the link will be available to do so for one week towards the end of january.

for the oc ask thing: Corn (because the name thing alone is hilarious)

Who would your OC say is their best friend?Who would call your OC their best friend?

Avatar

There's no art this time, but if you're picturing an under-nourished 20 year old with really patchy stubble? You're in the right ballpark.

The Cornelius Whose Dumbshit Friends Call 'Corn' Even Though 'Neil' Is A Perfectly Good Name.

It's not even his dumbshit friends' fault? Well. It is. They've got autonomy and free will and shit and they could stop at any time but no, they're fucking comedians. Whatever. They're happy. And Corn never gets his coffee orders mixed up with anyone else's.

But yeah, his hysterical friends didn't come up with "Corn" on their own. That was his big sister. She'd been 4 years older thn him and couldn't manage 'Corneilus.' Which. That had probably been adorable. Corn wouldn't know. Corn wasn't there. Well, he was there, but as an infant so you know how that is. Or rather, you know how that isn't. Just not a lot of nominative discretion at that age. Anyways, "Corn" wasn't his friends' fault or his big sister's fault or Corn's fault for not objecting immediately. CORN, both his name and his existence, was his parents' fault. Seriously. Who has a kid and then, with love in their hearts, names it Corneilus? Corn's parents. Ugh. Anyhow. Corn's just a dude. Lower middle lower class. White. Cis. Hetero, but open minded. He's only just turned 20. He's got his high school diploma and he's working as many jobs as he can swing to save up for trade school. He's gonna get HVAC certification. Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling. The world's weather is going to shit, but Corn's gonna be ready to cash in on making rich folks and businesses private climates of their very own. After he can afford tuition. There's two things about Corn: 1. He knows a lot of dudes. Like, it's a waste that he's not gay. It's so much easier to meet dudes. But he's not. He checked. Which, on one hand, bummer. On the other hand, he's always got friends to chill with or couches to crash on. Even if all those friends call him Corn. That's how he met Sean. He and Sean are tight. 2. The other thing about Corn. Dumb shit just… happens around Corn. Like, he was delivering pizza for his last job and he got mugged! And they freakin' stabbed him! But it hit a rib so it wasn't deep, just bleeding everywhere. And while he was freaking out and desanguinating—is it de-sanguinating or ex-sanguinating?—whatever. His sangre was going Ev.Er.Ey.Where. But while that was happening, his MUGGERS got MUGGED. And the second round of muggers gave him first aid! He was pretty loopy by then, so he heard about the first aid from the ambulance crew, but shit like that just kinda happens to Corn. Like, the police are pretty sure that a giant black and red spider mutant ate Corn's shitty granddad. The place was busted up and there's security camera footage of this bug thing and nobody's seen his granddad in months. Which. Corn is pretty cool with. The guy was an ass. But like, "Hi, I'm Corn. A mutant ate my granddad." Not resume material. And, like, right now? Corn's pretty sure his best friend and current squat-mate, Sean, is dating a gang member. Corn and Sean had this exact conversation. "I don't get why you hook up with these people."

"Shut up, you don't know he's in a gang."

"He's a cut Asian dude that works all night, has a ton of money, comes home with bruises, and is covered in tattoos." "He's sweet to me."

"At least ask about the tattoos?!" "OH MY GOD, CORN. YOU CAN'T JUST ASK YOUR RICH, CUT, TATTOOED, ASIAN BOYFRIEND IF HE'S A GANG LORD. That's so racist."

Then Corn actually face palmed. (Because this is just like Enrique. Noooo! He's not dealing out of our apartment! It'll be fiiiine! I don't care how many visitors he has, he makes rent on time. Don't be so sensitive. He looooooves me. Which is why Sean and Corn don't have that apartment anymore and are squatting a friend's aunt's empty B&B listing, hoping it never gets rented. Thanks, Enrique.) But Sean and Corn love each other—not like that—the other way. Yeah. The ride-or-die way. Their motto is practically 'Even If Sean Has To Date Danger Cock We Will Face The Future Together Because Even If He Were Normal About Relationships, Corn's Orbiting Weirdness Would Make Life Go To Hell Anyways So We're Not Abandoning Each Other Even If Sean Has To Help Change Corn's Double-Mugging Bandages.' Truly words to live by.
