Thoughts on Time Skip in Rise Movie
Recently, it was revealed that the Rise movie takes place two years after the finale. I don’t have a full opinion until the movie is available but so far I don’t like the time skip. I was really hoping the movie would take place a few months later so we can see how Cassandra is getting along with the group, Draxum’s growing relationship with Splinter and the Turtles, and the Turtles handling their new power up. I’m nervous that the time jump will skip over that development. That’s what I was most hoping for from the movie.
I’m still excited for the movie and hope the time skip has a purpose.
Monoma would be the best worst teacher at UA
because he can copy their quirks and use them to learn about what they need and everything, but he would yell at them with insults to push them.
"I can use your quirk better then you!!! You've had it for 12 years, and I had it for 10 minutes!!!!"
he can help them like no one else could, from just using their quirks to understand, but he's so cocky and prideful

Atsumu approaching Sakusa on the bench : I think we should get a divorce.
Sakusa : What are you doing?
Atsumu : Just practicing!
Sakusa : Why are you already planning our hypothetical divorce?
Atsumu : I don't know. i'm getting old, i think i'm having a mid-life crisis.
Sakusa : We're not even married yet?
Atsumu : Hypothetically divorce me!
Sakusa : Okay, then i'm hypothetically taking half of your assets.
Atsumu : Well, you didn't sign the hypothetical prenup!
Atsumu, to hinata : It's called a prenup, right?
Hinata : Yeah, it's a prenup, and you DID hypothetically sign one...
Sakusa : Who the fuck is this guy??
Hinata : I'm his hypothetical lawyer in this divorce case.
Sakusa : Well, then, i'm taking the hypothetical kids.
Sakusa, to Bokuto : Right? we can get those, right?
Bokuto : Yes, we can definitely get the hypothetical kids, don't worry about it!
Atsumu : Who the fuck is this hypothetical fucking idiot?
Bokuto : Wow, that is a lot of- hypothetical insults!
Sakusa : This is MY hypothetical lawyer, and we have been hypothetically sleeping with each other. ;)
Atsumu : How could you hypothetically DO THIS TO ME ?!
Sakusa getting up : Because you hypothetically ARE AN ALCOHOLIC!

How To Write Time Skips
From @ravennova7: How to you handle time skips in stories? I can write out scenes happening in real time, but narrative summarising isn’t something I’m good at. I just can’t seem to write exposition properly. "
And so, this post will be dedicated to how to write time skips!
A) Introduction
It's important to properly weave time skips into the story. Without the proper set-up for time progression, the audience can quickly loose their footing. Even if you are trying to write a story where the audience gets thrown of their feet, the readers need some type of directioning.
In order to incorperate time skips into the story, you need to soften the edges between here and now.
If you are writing a time skip in one chapter, you could use an expository phrase such as "three months passed...", "one day morphed into the next and suddenly...", "by the time...", and all those other types of phrases.
When you are writing the time skip across different chapters, in my opinion, it's easier to write a skip in time due to the fact that's more weaved into the formatting of the story.
You could change the perspective to a new character or return the perspective to the original holder.
One example of a time skip I really liked was when a character was trapped in time. From their perspective, we see them walking up to and shattering a hourglass. When we meet up with another character, we learn that some time has passed.
It felt jarring but not as jarring as it could have been if that scene wasn't in there.
Overall use section breaks to establish that the flow of the narrative has changed. I also try to use running themes throughout the time skip as a way of linking these two scenes together. It could be through the same character being the focus of the scene. It could be a "before vs after" type of comparison in which a character tries to do something two different times to show change. Basically, a training montage.
Another example of a time skip that was used effectively was "What Remains Of Edith Finch". Specifically, the ending monologues. The protagonist's ever-present narration guided the audience through the many years that passed. The story keeps the same emotional through line as everything feeds into one another. It feels like a conversation.
B) Limitation And Usage
Time skips are used to skip over detail that isn't providing necessary information. Movies often use montages to communicate that time is passing.
Time skips and montages are necessary tools because readers don't want to sit through weeks of the same character going to the gym.
Time skips, in my opinion, should be used sparingly and only when necessary. It's exceedingly jarring. It can smack down on the emotional threwline. It's messy.
REMEMBER: Don't use time skips to skip out on character growth.
I remember this one f*cking time when the protagonist got injured. Then a second later. He's healed. This would be fine. UNTIL
They had this protagonist undergo MASSIVE character growth WITHOUT ME! This guy wasn't my protagonist. He was suddenly nice! He was confident. He was best friends with everyone now!!?! He was suddenly besties with this guy who was his enemy just two seconds ago!!!!?!
I had to drop the story.
Try to keep character relationships the same through the time skips if you are "going to black". If you are pulling a montage move where you pass through the events of their friendship building then it's fine. If you have a character think about why their relationship changed, fine.
BUT NEVER just randomly have your protagonist suddenly change! Explain the change. I'm in your character's head to see their progression. To be there on their journey, dont make me skip the big action sequence!
Use time skips to skip over the in-between steps. Skip over the characters buying a ticket. Skip over the character's walk up the stairs. Skip over the fight sequence.
But don't skip over important and potentially engaging character development!!!!
C) Selective Conclusion
Remember, narrative isn't real time. Our experience of time isn't real time. Five minutes could be too soon to say everything you need to say or it could be the most agonizing amount of time to hold your breathe.
You probably skip over time naturally. You don't write a character's every errand nor their every thought. The only time the camera touches down on a character is when it's narratively relevant.
To decide when a scene is important, establish what information you need to know in order to fulfill the plot.
If you have a character you want to show as both in love with Girl and bad at school. You can have a character walking out the school, textbooks heavy in hand, who suddenly bumps into Girl.
Then use a transitional sentence to show the audience that we are done. "Well, at least there's one good thing about school".
Just finished reading the haikyuu manga so brb gonna go cry about it ✌
kurodai? from 2020? Kuroo didn’t think it through
📸 17 years old vs 27 28 years old!
Happy birthday to the one and only Sugawara Koushi aka SugaSen! 🎂🥳🎉🎊🎈Every time I revisit the Haikyuu manga, he never fails to put a smile on my face 💘 Thank you Furudate Haruichi sensei, for creating my most beloved comfort character ever 💝
Spoiler??
“Hello?” Kuroo whispered into his phone,
“KUROO?”
“Hi. heh! I really have an emergency right now”
Your mind was racing, unable to wrap around the fact that your roommate who you have barely conversed with had even called you. At the sound of an emergency, you were already scrambling on your feet to gather your stuff halfway through your training.
“Did you burn the house down?”
“What? No. I just…”
All you heard was radio silence on his side. Pulling away the phone from your ear, you checked if you or him accidentally hung up.
“Kuroo?”
“Yeah. You see, I am naked right now.”
“YOU ARE NAKED AND HAVE AN EMERGENCY, IF THIS IS SOME SEXUAL INNUENDO THEN YOU BETTER PACK UP YOUR BAGS, RIGHT NOW!”
Chapter Fifteen: London Bridge is Falling Down
"Get out the way," he snapped at the kids playing in the soot. "And don't fall. I'm not in the mood to bandage anyone's scraped knees later."
(Though he knew with full certainty that within an hour's time, he would be kneeling in front of some bawling seven-year old and trying to swab their scabby knee with surgical spirit while they kicked and thrashed.)
He, Tom Marvolo Riddle, top of his class, so powerful that the older students and the professors whispered about him, sweeping soot and debris in front of an orphanage.
Abraxas would laugh. He would enjoy it, that arrogant twat.
In which Tom Riddle experiences the timeless throes of teenage angst, is tired of the Blitz, invents a shitty supervillain name, and learns how to smoke and cheat at cards.

~note historical inaccuracy on the timing of the London Blitz, which actually ended in May, not September 1941.
~disturbing note on the famous nursery rhyme: it has been suggested in the late 1800s that a child sacrifice was buried in the foundations, possibly alive, so that the ghost would watch over the bridge and prevent it from falling. theory hasn't been confirmed.
