#timeskips

I still cannot wrap my head around the S2 timeline for the life of me. Why did they do it like that?????

I've seen more than one person insist that it works better on rewatch, or that I've just forgotten how fast the S1 pace was, and like... No? Because, yeah, S1 was about 5 hours of tv and pretty zippy, but it also had in-universe timeskips that I feel S2 desperately needed.

Off the top of my head there's a skip before 1x03. A short one before 1x05, and a longer one before 1x06. There's probably one before 1x08, one in the middle of 1x09, and a montage/timeskip in the twin arcs of 1x10. Not to mention I think you can headcanon more skips in around the end of 1x01 and just before 1x07???

Yeah Izzy goes from grumpy to itching for Stede's murder in no (screen)time at all, but I don't have any trouble with the pacing of it because first they tell me "here's enough information about Izzy to see he doesn't want to be here" and then "now he's been stewing on his bad feelings for nearly two weeks". I didn't need to see the stewing in depth, I just needed to know it happened so the blowup made sense.

Same for Stede and Edward's relationship development. Yeah they wake up every episode closer together than they left off - time is passing. It makes sense. It's also really fast and kind of fragile, which they let us know with the beats they do put on screen, but I'm not baffled when the hell Stede found out how Edward likes his tea? It feels like a rushed month or so of relationship, not a speedrun of 5 days.

S2 did not do this? In fact, S2 strung almost all of its episodes together with a joke or an event or some kind of visual cue that each takes place immediately after the one before. To headcanon a timeskip I have to deliberately bend the evidence in a way that comes across more "it technically doesn't specify" than any supported reading of the canon.

Why? What's the point? The main thing it accomplishes is making abrupt character turns (e.g. Jim's anger at Edward vanishing) stand out as problems because I can't even pretend there was an offscreen conversation or time for tensions to cool.

Bitch, that happened yesterday???

@staff two suggestions

Bring back the timeskip. Where we can view our dashes on a specific dates, see what the people we are following now were posting. This was a fun little time machine and I want it back

A smoochie option next to the like button. Please please, let me get even weirder on the internet.

Hiii! 💖

I was just wondering because at the moment the MC is a baby, is there going to be multiple timeskips or just one big one throughout the story? If there's multiple timeskips can you tell us what ages they happen at? Thank you and love the prologue!! 🤗

So the current plan is for there to be 6 stages of MC's early life. It goes as: 5yo 8yo 10yo 12yo 15yo 18yo

Each of these ages will have their own chapter, with the rest of the game happening after 18. I think these timeskips are long enough to provide a different experience for each age but not too long that you would lose track of who the character you're building is, I hope!

the issue with writing for yourself is that you will get sucked into rereading your own fic over and over and pretend it’s “editing,” but really you’re just reading because it’s exactly what you want to read. because you wrote it. for you.
