Honorifics or Western-style Titles? I've used both before, which is bothersomely inconsistent

Since I see no objections.
 
With the way magic is spreading past just magical girls I can imagine Homura coming across something new in one of her raids eventually. Could be good or bad though. Magical weaponry to loot maybe or an enemy that's immune to time stop

I was wondering, by the way... assuming there is such a being, somewhere. Does that mean that each time Homura stops time, he or she experiences the effects of timestop too, no matter its position in the world/universe? Because i could see that getting annoying quite fast. "Damn it, someone stopped time again. I'm trying to watch a movie without interruptions, damn it!"

Just because someone else can stop time does not mean they can automatically move when someone else stops time.

I didn't specify the person could stop time, I used the more vague "time powers". Like maybe they exist outside the passage of time. Maybe they lol!nope other abilities. Maybe they link themself to an opponent to the point their opponent's more esoteric powers treat them as *self* and therefore don't affect them. Only the first was a real time power but you get the idea. There are more things in heaven and earth and all that.
*edit* time powers that require conscious use might not affect Homura's ability but things like absolute control of time in their surroundings etc would

Homura's time stop is a self buff. IT IS NOT A DEBUFF/

If it simply speeds up her movement and perception I'd agree but it also affects her weaponry allowing her projectiles to move in her time stop for a given distance so it's more like she has a localised affect on time. There's no reason to think that there isn't a being/power able to lock onto and connect to a time anomaly that speeds the flow of time in a specific area.

if I get out of a river while holding a rock, then neither I or the rock are in the river, if I let go the rock then falls back into the river.
If Homura get out of [Time] while firing a gun then their is a brief amount of *space* that the bullets travel before they fall back into [Time] now is it possible for someone to be bullshit enough to be unaffected? Sure. Such a person would likely be able to kill everyone in the city and their would be jake shit Homura could do about it because any such things are far far stronger the Wally.[/Time][/Time]

You're assuming a kind of logic that isn't necessarily the case in magic. Or at least we should be cautious about applying it. There is a case to be made that Homura is conceptually stopping time rather than doing so from a hard physics standpoint and that conceptually their powers may view that as something being applied against them and give them 'immunity'. I mean hopefully it's not the case but you can't trust you're assumptions even if they make sense with magic because as the incubators will be quick to point out magic doesn't make sense.

In any case if that's too much then imagine an enemy capable of either preventing Homura from buffing herself or can also force the buff to apply to them too. Keep in mind that we've seen the latter, see Mami in Rebellion.

That's because Homura's time-stop does not affect anything she's touching, and Mami attached a ribbon connecting herself and Homura.

But using that analogy it's not impossible for someone to be aware of movement through the river on Homoura's way out or just generally the space around the river and just as able to leave at any time. It doesn't necessarily require bullshit strength it could just be very specific powers. Like there are lots of things in fiction that cause localised temporal anomalies and could affect another's control over time. Or using the analogy again it could be someone is already outside the river and is under their own power jogging at the pace of the river. I just don't see why we'd make assumptions about it when this settings main difference from canon is a warping of space and time that leads to the appearance of unusual things.

Of course that's where it seems to be conceptual rather than a hard physical law. The definition of 'touching'.

Homura touches the ground and yet the entire earth is not brought into timestop. She doesn't touch nearby air molecules and yet she can still breathe. And the less said about the time delay before things stop moving the better.

Under hard physics, I don't think Homura would be able to see at all during time stop since there's no light entering the eyes and traveling to the brain via signals.

That too. Though maybe that's some side magic giving off light or something. Given that we already know about the time delay before stuff stops moving it would make sense that photons released by her magic could move completely to its destination because of relativity meaning the light doesn't experience any time in the journey (if I'm remembering correctly).

Or maybe it's just magical perception of her surroundings and that's why everything has the grey tint.
 
The short answer would be that magic handles any physics-related shortcomings.
