#ive been here since day one i think tot owes me pension

[actualbird]

okay so i am now interested in tears of themis EXCLUSIVELY bc of your fics and how well written they are, so. how does one get into tears of themis.

hi, hi!!! this is such a joy to see, im so glad you enjoyed my fics :'D and read them wiTHOUT THE CONTEXT OF THE CANON OMG....this made me smile lots

and YESSSS GET INTO TOT >:DDD

the easiest and most direct way to get into tot is to donwload the game's app yourself and play through the story! tears of themis is available on play store and the app store

but if you dont wanna play it, a less direct way to get into tot is by watching playthroughs. theres a playthrough for basically frigging every story that happens in tot, because people in the world are lovely

that being said, theres a Lot of stories in tot, so i realize it might be overwhelming whether ur play it urself or watch playthrus.

so heres a list in Chronological Order of how every story rooouuughly happen in the timeline to play/watch thru

(i say roughly because timeline seems to be more of a suggestion in this game JHVAJHSFVAKSJH but heres how each story came out on global server, haha)

note on the legend ive made below:

bulletpoints marked with a "***" are events that had happened in the game prior to this current day. almost all of these are no longer accessible in the game on this day today, so even if you do the Play It Yourself option, the only way to see the event story and the card stories is by watching playthroughs of it

only after putting this all down did i realize it just looks MORE overwhelming omfg, im so sorry. i do not realize how much has happened in this game cuz ive been here since literal day 1 ajhvfjks. bUT OK, TO MAKE THIS EASIER

ive also marked with a bird emojis what i think is the Most important to play/watch.

okay with that outta the way, heres all the big stories in tot in chronological order

once again, thank u for reading my fics!! im so glad you liked them <3!!

EDIT: ive put some trigger warnings on particular stories that feature Quite Prominent triggers but i dont wanna spoil as well....overall, a general trigger warning for murder, violence, mental health (usually not handled all that well, lol. what can ya do, pop culture psychology, HAHA...), suicide, self harm, terminal illness. these occur a bunch over a lot of stuff. if uve got qs for specific stories, feel free to drop another ask :DDD
