i know you got an answer but ill explain why. the word following, 'since' implies that an amount of time has passed, therefore a long period of time makes sense. if it werent there, the correct word would be 'far surpassed' implying an amount rather than time

im not certain but this seems to be parasite? could be wrong

how dare someone write splinter saying that

he discovered that you can only gain one type of skill for each large catergory during training, one type of sharp weapon skill, one type of firearm skill, etc. he already had a firearm skill at that point

yeah no, this sentence is entirely grammatically sound and would make far less sense if it was phrased the way you suggested

he already did, thats how he survived the plane fall

See this! I just gifted the story: Balloon

ironically that final word also brings back memories

more like his old bloodlines were so weak the god slaying rat bloodline just erased them, can still get new ones that arent useless

cupping his head would be his hands placed on his head, this is referring to when you have your arms wrapped around your head, like you would in tornado position
