Wrap up the chapter...

At a location change

At a natural pause

At a point-of-view change

In the middle of one character’s speech

In the middle of something interesting

When it feels like it's dragging

With a cliffhanger

With a resolved/unresolved ending

With a shocking last line

With a surprise interruption/unexpected ending

With a tied ending (the chapter ends where it began)

With an ambiguous ending

With dialogue that demands answers

With emotional reflection

With foreshadowing

Chapter endings leave your reader with a sense of what to expect going forward. 

Cliffhanger endings are the hallmark of page-turner fiction, but perhaps you want to leave your reader with something more subtle to contemplate.

Your chapter endings should encourage your audience to keep reading.

Try to make the end of every chapter as exciting as the opening lines of the chapter—if your chapter ends on a flat, boring note, your reader may give up on your overall story.

Every chapter should end with a "pop", regardless of genre.

Those last few lines are what the reader remembers before they pause. An otherwise beautifully crafted chapter can be ruined if it flops at the finishing line.

Find the suspense point – the lines that make readers ask questions – and use them to wrap up your chapter.

And pay attention to the very last sentence. Sometimes less is more.

seriously the choreography and the 80s editing tricks omg they just added together so cohesively and omg

Mikey: Alright! Time for the bonding exercise! Make a drawing of one another~

Leo: Oh, I know exactly how I’m gonna draw D!

Donnie: There’s only one visual presentation that will come close to Leon.

Mikey: Great! Now, turn those papers!

Leo: *Smirks and turns his paper* Tada! *He shows a very rickety drawing of Donnie with horns* I call it: The D-mon within!

Mikey: Leo! *Facepalms* Urgh.. Donnie? Please tell me you did better.

Mikey you got this I believe in you

haha get it cause Leo's design is mainly based on triangles

I have a sneaking suspician that a former RISE of tmnt storyboarder (Kevin Molina-Ortiz) was actually incharge of these scenes (he storyboard rottmnt show AND movie [fight] scenes (esp krang and shreddar omg))

some of the other storyboard artists like Serina Gao has poster on her twitter her storyboard for sushi eating scene

SO I'm not entirely sure Ortiz has been in the production (I tried checking the credits and couldnt find him)

BUT ALOT OF THE SHOTS HAS HIS FLARE AND INSFLUENCE ON IT (a lot of this fight's aspects reminded me of fish and ladders fight scene in rise)

but anyway whos to say he has or hasn't made his mark on the tmnt fandom
