RECIPROCITY TIMELINE OF EVENTS

I started the story of Reciprocity in the middle of things, so readers are slowly learning what happened that led up to the current events of the story through references and the occasional flashback. We still have a couple major flashbacks to cover before readers are completely up to speed with what has happened before we jumped in.

But I went ahead and wrote up this little timeline for anyone who might be confused. I made a couple mistakes myself while writing, and had to fix a couple things after the fact 😅

Timeline is under the cut! SPOILERS if you haven't read up to Chapter 14 yet!

SPRING 2023

Mutant Mayhem: Events of the movie take place. I believe the movie takes place in spring because in the US, prom season is at the end of the school year. Characters in the movie are also wearing light jackets or just hoodies.

Turtles Enroll in Eastman: The turtles would have begun their Freshman (first) year of high school late in the second half of the 2022/2023 school year and attend Prom

SUMMER 2023

“Fanfare” : (We have not had a flashback yet) The turtles spend the summer enjoying the “overall fanfare” Donnie mentions in his plan to stop Superfly and win over the humans.

FALL 2023

School Year Begins: The turtles begin their Sophomore (second) year of high school

Thanksgiving 2023 – Leo is taken: We have not had a flashback yet, all we know so far is from passing comments/references. What we do know is that the turtles are in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. This is where Leo is kidnapped and disappears. Raph is injured during the kidnapping.

Therapy: Raph begins mandated therapy sessions

WINTER 2023

Christmas 2023: First Christmas without Leo

SPRING 2024

No major events hinted at so far. Raph and his brothers begin drifting apart.

FALL 2024

School Year Begins: The turtles begin their Junior (third) year of high school.

Thanksgiving 2024 – 1st Anniversary of Leo’s disappearance: We have not had a flashback yet, all we know so far is from passing comments/references. What we know is that a remembrance service is held for Leo. Raph snaps and gets into a screaming match with Splinter over Leo. Raph believes Leo is alive but cannot convince anyone. Splinter tells Raph to stay home. Raph has a breakdown in Leo’s room, angry and frustrated that nobody believes him. Splinter finds him there, and yells at Raph to stay out of Leo’s room. Splinter and Raph’s already strained relationship falls apart, and they begin avoiding each other and hardly speaking to one another.

WINTER 2024

Christmas 2024: Second Christmas without Leo

SPRING 2025

No major events hinted at so far

SUMMER 2025

No major events hinted at so far

FALL 2025 – This is where the reader begins the story

School year has already begun: The turtles are in their Senior (fourth and final) year of high school.

Thanksgiving 2025 – 2nd Anniversary of Leo’s disappearance: Raph attends the remembrance ceremony for the first time with his family at Mikey’s request.

Raph, Mikey and Donnie begin hanging out again

Casey Jones transfers to Eastman High

WINTER 2025

Christmas 2025 – 3rd Christmas without Leo: The family finally celebrates the holiday normally again. Splinter gives Raph a gift of something that had once belonged to Leo.

And that’s it, we’re up to date!

I'm Happy for One Piece Fans

It's an understatement to say that this is a great time to be a One Piece fan in the West.

From One Piece Film Red ads taking over Times Square in 2022 to Monkey D. Luffy getting his own balloon for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City to the National Football League even doing a collaboration with the franchise for one of their games, this has been an incredible journey for a series that struggled to break through in my part of the world for a long time.

And let's not forget about the live-action Netflix adaptation which doesn't suck!

I think back to when I started this blog back in 2010, Naruto and BLEACH got most fans' attention compared to One Piece. I never really gave One Piece a chance because everyone around me was either a Naruto or BLEACH fan. Plus there were other series like Death Note that took center stage.

I mostly wrote about Naruto and BLEACH characters. However, I did write this post in 2011 about One Piece's popularity among adults in Japan. It's one of my most-read posts to this day.

While I wrote in the post that I started after a big time-skip, I gave up afterwards after several chapters. The series didn't stick with me.

I wonder what happened in the last 3-4 years that made One Piece finally blow up in America. 10 years ago, One Piece probably sold alright here, but nothing compared to the other mainstream shonen titles. Over the past 2-3 years and despite being now over 100 volumes, One Piece is now placing in top 20 manga charts in sales consistently.

And then I read about the Wano Country arc. It also helped that the Viz Shonen Jump app was starting to slowly take off around 2019 when they decided to have chapters released the same day as Japan. So now, everyone can get in on the fun. Fans got the see the events of Wano play out over time. Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic helped as everyone bought manga and watched anime to kill time.

But I still feel it mostly has to do with what went happened in Wano. I decided to research the arc and I was left with this.

1.) The longest arc ever in the series.

2.) A lot of significant stuff happened.

3.) Gear 5. 'Nuff said.

4.) Luffy is literally one step away from becoming the King of the Pirates.

I did hear that Wano was probably a homage to Japan, so adding a sense of Eastern flair to a mostly Western theme (pirates) helps.

I give props to the fans who stuck with the series and have felt ignored until these past few years. They did their best to promote One Piece even if it fell on a bunch of deaf ears at times. I personally know people who swore by One Piece since the start. To see it now as big as Dragon Ball Z in America in 2023 is incredible.

The One Piece community deserves this. Patience truly is a virtue here and it was rewarded. I can't wait to see what Eiichiro Oda, Toei Animation and Bandai will do next for you guys for the potential endgame.

BREAKING NEWS: The NYPD has just now made it public that the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade turkey balloon went mysteriously missing on November 28 of 2022. The police say they never reported the missing balloon at that time because they feared public recrimination. It was last spotted during the parade and went missing shortly thereafter. Sources say they fear it was accidentally shot down at the behest of the Biden administration.

Ominous Signs for Democrats in New York

There's a seismic shift in New York politics. It may be because of the Democratic Party's continual dragging of their Overton Window to the left of Fidel Castro. It may be because of the anointment of Kamala Harris as the Democrat's catastrophic 2024 presidential candidate. It may be due to any number of things, but the fact is this: Democrat voter registration in the Empire State is dropping, and that doesn't bode well for Democrats there or nationwide.

There are cracks in the blue wall. Democratic registration dropped 7% in New York City and 4% across the Empire State between 2020 and 2024 — the latest sign of disaffection with liberal policies that some pundits is fueling a national push to the right. Democrats saw registration plummet 258,612 in the city from November 2020 to November 2024, when there were 3.4 million voters registered to the Democratic Party, according to Board of Election data.  That accounted for much of the 271,322 statewide decline in party enrollment as the GOP saw a modest gain of 2%, or 67,483 voters, enrolled statewide — bringing Republican Party totals to slightly more than 3 million, according to the numbers. There were 4,912 more enrolled Republicans in the city, to 573,644 total, the data show.

The recent election saw shifts all over the country. Donald Trump blasted through the Rust Belt states and shattered the Democrats' Blue Wall like the Kool-Aid Man. Several key demographics are trending more and more Republican — and plenty of members of those demographics live in New York.

New York went handily for Kamala Harris in the presidential election, but the decline in registration, while still leaving the Democrats with a lead over Republicans, is starting to have an effect. The decline is starting to narrow elections.

President-elect Donald Trump drew 44% of the vote in blue New York to 56% for Vice President Kamala Harris, the highest vote for a Republican candidate in 36 years. Democrats nationwide are sifting through the carnage of losing the White House and both the House and Senate to the GOP. In 2022, Democrat Kathy Hochul won the race for governor by just 6-percentage points — 53%-47% over Republican Lee Zeldin. Zeldin, a former House member, is now Trump’s nominee for Environmental Protection Agency secretary.

In the 2024 presidential election, in neighboring New Jersey, Donald Trump came within five points of Kamala Harris. That's remarkable; in 2024, whether it be due to Donald Trump's populist appeal or the leftward drift of the Democratic Party, New Jersey came close to becoming a swing state.

New Jersey.

New York will remain a blue state, of course, unless things shift a lot more than anyone could imagine. But remember this: As recently as 1984, New York went for a Republican in Ronald Reagan's 49-state landslide. But the shift in New York should still be making Democrats nervous. A small shift could tip the balance of the state legislature, and may even tip the next gubernatorial election if the GOP picks the right candidate.

This Thanksgiving weekend has been cold, with a weather system dropping snow and ice over much of the northeastern United States, but that's not what is sending chills down the spines of Empire State Democrats today.

Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams Parade Float

Wednesday Addams Takes Over When Wednesday premiered in 2022, it ignited pop culture like wildfire. From viral dances to Halloween fashion trends, it inspired a massive wave of Addams family devotion. Now, with a new season on the horizon slated for 2025, Wednesday finds herself humorously enshrined in none other than Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade—held ironically on a Thursday. The show remains…
