So... last Monday, I made a post about the issues with a well-defined timeline, and said how I felt the biggest part of it was done.
As it turned out, I was wrong.

This blog post is meant to serve as a timeline for the Sundagioverse and official order of the series. I will pin this to my profile page and other profiles like on Tumblr. I will try my best to update this as frequently as I can~

-A Dazzling World Check it out here!
Got a good question on my user page regarding what stories are ultimately connected to Sunset Shimmer is MAD about EVERYTHING.
At some point my brain decided it had too much free time and it needed a project. So I’ve gone through and made a timeline for all the Equestria Girls animations (partly because I’ve been rethinking the outline of my stories and realized I can’t mesh my timeline with the series timeline as the series didn’t have one that made sense!).
In the world of The Day the Show Reset, there are a lot of differences to real life, minor alterations from the show, and decisions on how the chronology of the show plays out. This blog will be updated as more details about the fic's canon are decided.
So I was talking to some of the other writers involved in the Beanis Cinematic Universe and I posed the question I asked here a while back "why can we accept characters from adult shows like the Simpsons and Bob's Burgers having characters who don't age but insist that kids shows adhere to that rule?"
There was discussion back and forth, but during that discussion something came up which might actually fix every problem everyone has with the timeline of events for Equestria Girls.
Gonna take a few days to get back to My little timeline since I'm working on at least having three chapters by the end of the month for The other chrysalis.
Ah, health. You've been a real pain these past few weeks, you know that?
Anyway, while I'm waiting for the artwork I've mentioned previously: a number of times while writing the story, I've gotten the setting's timeline mixed up. I went back over the story and wrote out the key details (and a few minor ones) to make sure I have things in order. Figured I might as well share it.
This timeline is current as of February 2, 2024. Also, WARNING: contains spoilers.
(Prologue: 3 Years Before the Events of Season 1)
-The UNSC Phoenix-Class Tycora jumps out of slipspace into an unknown system in orbit of an Earth-like planet \Equestria\
-The advanced Celerium Drive goes critical damaging the ship to make orbit with the unknown planet.
-A group of marines /Lee, Mike, Glenn, Dale, Kent/ are sent to retrieve Dr. Erik and evacuate the Tycora as it makes orbit with the planets surface.
-The marines evacuate the ship and make landfall into the planets ocean.
Well... to make one thing clear given this post's title, I will not say that I think there are no issues with the show's timeline. I think that they exist, and I certainly feel the show's staff didn't do the best of jobs at keeping track of the show's timeline at times.
So I've been wondering... just what is the actual chronological order of the show's events? By this, I mean major holidays, festivals, and fairs that happen annually. Here's what I pretty much have figured out, starting from the beginning of a human year:
~The Grand Galloping Gala (Human equivalent to New Year's Eve; this wasn't mentioned on the show, but the Official MLP Twitter and Facebook pages said so.)
So, I have a preliminary partial timeline of history, as it played out in the Advancedverse.
You asked for it, and I provide!
(After I clean them up a bit, and probably after the next chapter, I'm going to add the Advancedverse geography notes as Appendix C, too, just so everything's in one place and it doesn't get lost in the blog.)
So, I've been reading the Head in the Clouds trilogy by Calm Wind, (which I would highly recommend), recently and discovered many fanworks. Now, there are other reading lists out there, but they seem to be incomplete, or not including the original stories. Therefore, I have decided to make one myself. Or, at least, as close as I can get. Be warned, there are times when 5+ fics happen at the same time but needed to be spaced out within the list.
Few key things:
So here’s something fun I discovered. A few years ago, I’d started to put together a timeline for The Heart’s Promise Continuity. I hadn’t finished it, and honestly, even what you see now is nothing close to done, but I spent some time cleaning up.
It’s a neat way for me to collect major happenings in the series, keep my dates and ages straight, and generally make sure everything adds up to a logical progression.
Spoiler alert!
So... I honestly am at the point where I don’t know what my worst days for writing are.
I always expect the weekend to be the best time of the week, but then I either end up taking too much time off to rest from the days I work two jobs rather than 'just' one, or get hit with writer's block, or some other thing. Sheesh...
