Tiresome heart, forever living and dying, 

Edna St. Vincent Millay, Second April; from ‘Wild Swans’

Ebb

I know what my heart is like      Since your love died: It is like a hollow ledge Holding a little pool      Left there by the tide,      A little tepid pool, Drying inward from the edge.

—Edna St. Vincent Millay, from Second April

No way

Hey I just want to say that I love your Mind Swap AU, and I have a question, does April know or do the guys hide it from her?

aaa ty! i'm glad you're enjoying it :D

And yes, they definitely try to hide it at first, just to avoid the "you're all idiots, how did you even manage to end up in this situation" lecture that would surely follow. Which they succeed at!

...for about fifteen seconds, anyway.

I come bearing amenities for our little AU competition. Good luck in the preliminaries ;)

Edna St. Vincent Millay, Second April: Ebb

The timeline of this photo has been bothering me since I watched the movie

So I've watched the rise movie a good few times now and this photo has annoyed me for a while, if I make any mistakes please correct me cause maybe I overlooked something

So we all know casey jr brings this photo back with him from the future. It shows what I'm assuming is the gang celebrating April's accomplishment (a certificate/plaque?) From EastLaird University, we know from the present timeline she is currently studying journalism there and writes for the university's paper. they all pretty much look the same age as the present timeline (i feel like they look a little more mature so maybe a little more time had passed because it looks more like a graduation celebration to me but anyways) and theres no indication the apocalypse had started yet, they're all smiling and look happy right? Again this is just me analysing and making assumptions but surely when faced with the end of the world you wouldn't typically take the time for a celebratory picture right?

Now here's my main question: when and how was this photo actually taken?

From what we know in the movie, casey jr comes back to the exact day the key is found, the foot clan wasted no time in using it to free the krang (as we see in the movie this all happens on the same night), and during the next day the krang have already caused panic and infiltrated metro tower, I assume in the future timeline they probably got there quicker since they had the key temporarily stolen in the present timeline.

Leo and the others don't recognise the photo so it definitly didn't exist in the present timeline yet, the apocalypse basically destroyed any and all civilisation, I would assume the university would also have been destroyed with all the chaos and the gang would have had their hands full in the whole world ending situation, as far as I can see, there's no plausible gap inbetween where this photo could have been taken in the future timeline since it all happened so quickly
