The Siren: Partial Chronology · 2:05am Jul 4th, 2023
Several analysts have tried to put the episodes of Friendship Is Magic into a logical order; Oliver describes the reasons over here. The order I’m using in The Siren is mostly derived from this post by Starshine Sprinkles. Since days of the week are important in that post, I’m following Starshine’s suggestion to use the 2010 calendar for Year 1. (Episode links are to the Friendship Is Magic wiki.)
The Siren has chapters that show how these episodes changed in its alternate universe, and chapters that depict original events happening between episodes. Many episodes are skipped because they are unchanged or because any changes are uninteresting, and some episodes never happen. I list them all here to keep from spoiling anything.

- 1x25 Party of One has been moved from late April to early March.
This partial chronology includes all 26 episodes from Season 1, all but 9 out of the 26 episodes from Season 2, and 2 out of the 13 episodes from Season 3.
