#production timeline

[animerunner]

Hello, do you by any chance know when the crew found out about s3 shortening?

I remember it being in s1 finale release and they were either practically done with 2A or started a bit 2B?

2A is completely not changed? And 2B is fully changed or there are some aspects from 'old' plot?

I am just not sure.

Oh boy so apologies for the info dump. Sick again. No filter.

So I don't think Dana ever said dates officially outside of one exception. But you can kind of piece together what happened when based on what she has said.

That being said the S1 debacle wasn't when they found out from what we know. Just when she had a dispute with one of Disney's higher ups.

Dana has said episodes normally take a year minimum from start to finish.

Which puts 2A beginning production at the earliest in Jun 2020. Probably earlier. So regardless before any of this went down.

Dana has also said before that Follies was being written during the Election. Particularly I think she said it began writing on Election Night.

So writing and ideas for 2A were definitely done by that point. Even if it was the basic idea.

And we know S3 began production in mid December 2020. Because Dana at that point deactivated her twitter fully until April of 2021. Because in her own words she needed time to just focus on that. Because that's when Disney made the decision to only do 3 specials.

And considering the timing of when Follies started production. This is probably when they started shuffling around plots for what they needed for 2B.

Because most likely at that point they were too far into the production of 2A and where they were planning to finish it to change it.

Also we know S3's details hadn't come out by August. Because Dana mentioned wanting to give Luz a quincenera as part of the third season. On Sep 2 2020 during the AMA on Reddit

This combined with S2 being greenlit before even S1 (Nov 2019) aired. Means 2A would have been in production well before the announcement came through. And considering the year minimum. and when 2b began being written. Its fairly safe to say it was written and done before Dana got word from Disney.

And considering its a year from when 2A was greenlit to Follies begining to be written. Its also probably safe to say that writing wise it was easier to change things with 2B which was just beginning production at the time of S3s decision. Than redo both halves if that makes sense.

And that was if they were going to get one.

So yeah definitely didn't have it then.

So to not really summarize but to outline the timeline of production from S2 onward we know:

Jun 2020: Latest point for when Separate Tides started the process of production. More than likely earlier. But this is the latest. Most likely considering S2 was greenlit all the way back in 11/19 it had been in production for a while.

Aug 2020: Dana and one of the higher ups butt heads.

Sep 2 2020: Dana mentions in an AMA that she wants to do a quincenera for Luz. But it will be in the third season if its get greenlight.

Oct 2020: Stream happens we see several details froom 2A. Including half of Hunter's head.

Oct-Nov 2020: Follies at the Coven Day Parade begins to be written. So YL would have been finished writing by this point. And Dana probably has an idea of what she wanted originally for 2B.

Dec 2020: Dana announces she's taking a break from twitter and deactivates her account.

Dec 2020: Dana is told that the third season will get only three specials. Which is why the above happens because the change in structure means she needs to focus on the shift.

Apr 21: Dana reactivates Twitter.

May 21: S2 and S3 are officially announced and Dana confirms that her stepping away deals with the later.

Time between 2A and 2B: We start seeing announcements of storyboarders and such saying their farewells. Indicating in hindsight the early parts of S3 are now wrapped.

Feb 22: Sarah and Zeno both comment on recording lines for the specials during a streamily.

Mar 22: Someone can't remember who on the crew (think it was Rebecca Rose) mentions that there still working on parts of 2B as its getting ready to air.

Sep 22: Thanks to Them is given an officail air date

Oct 22: NYCC happens. Dana comments they just wrapped the episode about two weeks prior. Thus cementing how long it takes for specials productions. And probably giving us an idea that 2B wrapped sometime in April or early May production wise.

Murder Drones Timeline of Events

Disclaimer: Most of this is speculation based off of background details and conjecture. Subject to change. If you notice anything I missed feel free to comment and I’ll make adjustments :)

Proceeding Events:

Sometime in the Future, around the 31st Century

- Humanity becomes advanced enough to venture into space and establish colonies and civilizations on exoplanets in other solar systems. Some of these include the “Proxima System”, “Plat-Binary System”, and the “Copper System.”

- JCJenson, an interstellar megacorporation creates a brand of autonomous robots known as “Worker Drones” to serve humanity and mine resources on the exoplanets. One of these planets is Copper-9 from the Copper System.

- Worker Drones are heavily abused and mistreated by humans, often being improperly disposed of and thrown into landfills.

- JCJenson is aware of the fact their drones have a chance of self rebooting if disposed of incorrectly, dubbing these “Zombie Drones.” This can happen if the drone and their core wasn’t properly disconnected and destroyed, or the software cleanup program “wdOS_606” wasn’t installed or was interrupted or rejected (even up to five years later.) The company is also aware that among these instances, there’s also a chance of the drone developing “Hazardous Mutations.”

- Camp 98.7 is established in the year 3002 on Copper-9.

Humanity’s Downfall:

Year still unknown, but still in the 31st Century

-Underneath a landfill of discarded drones on Earth, presumably in Australia, a drone with a P/N starting with “CYN” self reboots. A so called program named the “Absolute Solver” seemingly contacts her through her broken visor and appears to make a deal with her, promising not to “discard her.” This is how the Solver gets its first host. It’s not known if the Solver took complete control there or if Cyn’s possession was a process.

- The landfill is close by to the mansion of a wealthy human family known as the Elliotts. Their daughter “Tessa James Elliott” enjoys retrieving discarded drones from the landfill so she can repair them. These drones become part of the manor’s wait staff, but Tessa treats them like people and as her friends, even giving them wigs so they can have identifying traits — much to the annoyance of her parents.

- Among the drones Tessa has brought home three are known as N, V, and J due to their serial designation numbers visible on their yellow armbands. It can be noted that it seems Tessa scratched out the “Marked For Disassembly” on the bands with sharpie after she repaired them.

- One day Tessa finds Cyn in the dump and brings her home. She introduces her to N, V, and J shortly after.

- N treats Cyn kindly, and she refers to him as her big brother.

- An unknown amount of time passes and eventually Tessa seems to become unnerved around Cyn due to the drone’s odd behaviour and mannerisms. J often locks Cyn in the library basement because of this.

- Many of Tessa’s drones seem to mysteriously contract some sort of error which leaves them in a catatonic state with their visors flashing a large yellow X alongside the words “error 606” (note that 606 matches the software cleanup program’s name of wdOS_606.) Because of this they are placed into the library. One of these drones is V, who N regularly visits so he can try and talk to her and read to her.

- The Elliotts’s decide to throw a gala at their manor alongside another family called the Frumptlebuckets (lol.) An interesting observation is that these wealthy humans (or at least those in the Elliott’s social circle) apparently like to dress up and act similar to those from around the Victorian era.

- Cyn escapes from the basement and convinces N to attend the gala, so they head to the ballroom to ask Tessa. This ends up leading to an altercation with Tessa’s mother Louisa where she orders Tessa to dump Cyn and all of her other “broken” drones in the library back into the landfill.

- Cyn talks back to Louisa, but N takes the fall for her and ends up being chained outside next to a dead drone that had been picked apart by a flock of crows. Meanwhile, Tessa has been chained up in her bedroom alongside J and Cyn as punishment. This, alongside an earlier scene where she seemingly rubs her wrist in pain implies this happens fairly often to her and highlights that her parents are abusive.

- Tessa berates Cyn for N taking the blame for her, angered that N may end up dead. However, Cyn seems indifferent and calmly claims she has “backups” of N.

- Cyn transforms into her horrific eldritch Solver form and claims Tessa won’t have to “discard her pets” and that she won’t discard her either. She leaves out the window after warning Tessa to stay away from the gala due to her seeming squeamish, revealing her intent to massacre the humans.

- Wanting to save everyone from being killed, Tessa gets J to break their chains and the two of them sneak out and arm themselves with a revolver and sword respectively. Despite this, after they arrive everyone is massacred anyways thanks to Cyn/the Solver corrupting the other Worker Drones, including J, who shuts the door so Tessa can’t escape.

- It’s assumed N escapes being killed by the crows and walks in on Cyn slaughtering the humans at the gala due to a brief flashback of him seeing Cyn eating a human hand (when he touches the Zombie Drones VHS tape.)

- Tessa is killed, and in a twisted way of sticking to her word of not discarding her, Cyn skins her corpse to graft it onto her drone body. (Due to an image of humans in hazmat suits finding Tessa surrounded by the remains of the people from the gala, it’s not fully known if Cyn also killed her at the gala and then posed as her, or if she was killed shortly afterwards.)

- Cyn converts the drones from the manor, including N, V, and J into deadly “Disassembly Drones.” They are given a “nerfed” version of the Solver that Cyn has admin access over to better remain control over them. Their memories are erased before setting them loose to slaughter the rest of the humans on Earth. Sometime after, the Solver causes the planet to implode into a black hole.

- The other colonies on the human exoplanets catch wind of what’s happened back on Earth, so JCJenson establishes “Cabin Fever Labs” to research the Solver and how to stop it.

- One of these labs is established on Copper-9 at Camp 98.7 and its surrounding mineshafts (and a cathedral that was there for some reason.) Multiple drones are purposely given the Solver, notably Nori (002) and Yeva (048.)

- The other exoplanets of the Proxima and Plat-Binary systems are corrupted and wiped out due to the Solver spreading and the Disassembly Drones presumably being sicced there.

- Nori ends up becoming possessed by the Solver. Eventually the JCJenson scientists on Copper-9 are able to create a Crucifix USB patch that can get rid of the Solver’s hold on its hosts. This patch is seemingly only successfully used on Yeva. Unfortunately, before it can be used on Nori, the Solver uses her to kill all the scientists except for an intern named Mitchell who had mistakenly put on the wrong uniform of a doctor and had been sent to fetch Yeva.

- Before the Solver can kill Mitchell after he returns, Yeva saves him and throws the USB into Nori’s face which frees her from its control, but also leaves her mind scrambled. However, the Solver is still able to create a small black hole with Nori’s hand that Yeva is forced to cut off. It’s sent falling into a pit to the planet’s core that the Solver had opened up prior.

- Copper-9’s planetary core partly implodes which wipes all organic life off the planet and turns it into a frozen wasteland. (Don’t worry. The dogs had been evacuated beforehand.) It seems a group of humans tried to survive by cryogenically freezing themselves in a bunker called “Outpost 3” in one of Copper-9’s cities. This didn’t work due to the computer having an error. This leaves the Worker Drones to inherit the planet and embrace their freedom.

Aftermath:

Year still unknown

- Nori and Yeva escape Cabin Fever Labs, while other test subjects such as Alice (017) are left behind to try and survive the lab’s Anti Drone sentinels. Nori meets a drone named Khan Doorman and ends up marrying him while Yeva also finds herself a husband.

- Uzi Doorman and Doll are created by their parents uploading parts of their code into Untrained Neural Networks and they both inherit their mothers’ connections to the Solver.

- The Doorman family experiences moments of happy family memories until Nori begins to have “kooky insane” ramblings and visions about the Solver and Disassembly Drones which she refers to as “Sky Demons” as a result of her brain being scrambled from the USB patch.

- Nori tries to warn the other drones and tells Khan to build doors to shelter themselves from the upcoming dangers.

Return of the Solver:

Sometime before the year 3071

- Cyn/The Solver sends squads of Disassembly Drones to Copper-9. Their memories are wiped and they are made to believe they were created and sent by the humans of JCJenson to eliminate the rogue Worker Drone population. Their directive also involves piling their kills into a “Corpse Spire” and locating Cabin Fever Labs. Cyn also wants to kill all other Solver hosts for an unknown reason.

- The squad consisting of N, V, and J lands close to the bunker of Outpost 3 and begin killing any Worker Drones they come across.

- V is seemingly the only Disassembly Drone that has retained some memory of Cyn and the Solver. She keeps this to herself and follows her directive so Cyn will leave her alone. Additionally, she also pretends to forget about N, believing this will protect him.

- A colony of Worker Drones takes shelter in Outpost 3 where Khan starts to build protective doors like his wife had requested. Around this time Nori is stung with a Disassembly Drone’s nanite acid. Khan uses a wrench to put her out of her misery. However, unbeknownst to anyone else, Nori manages to survive in her Solver core/heart form and goes back to Cabin Fever Labs so she can look for the Crucifix USB Patch.

- V kills Doll’s parents. Doll witnesses this while hiding and the trauma seemingly causes her Solver abilities to begin manifesting.

- The “Worker Drone Defence Force” is established in Outpost 3 with Khan as the leader. Unfortunately, they don’t really try to defend anything and just play cards behind the doors.

- The other Disassembly Drone squads that make it to Cabin Fever Labs are killed by either the Sentinels or Alice and (presumably) her son Beau. Alice scavenges parts from Disassembly Drones and Worker Drones to add to herself and Beau since he is stuck in an Untrained Neural Network body. She also learns to put the Solver cores in heat as it “makes them sluggish.”

Year 3071

- The events of episodes 1 - 7 occur

• Recent Revelation: At the end of episode 3 Cyn arrives on Copper-9 impersonating an older Tessa. She is accompanied by a backed up copy of J who was previously killed by Uzi in episode 1. It’s currently unknown if J is aware that Tessa is actually dead.

Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card - a timeline of events

Here we are, I said I would do it and I did! 😁

This is a timeline of the events depicted in Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card, placed correctly in chronological order inside the bigger Cardcaptor Sakura story.

As explained at the beginning of the timeline itself, it is mainly intended as an aid to people who have already read all 3 arcs and might find confusing to place all the events in the correct order, as Clear Card revealed lots of events that pre-date the Clow Card Arc storyline. It is not suitable for people who haven't read the full story.

I heavily summarized the events of Clow and Sakura Card Arc because I believe by now all of us know them by heart. I tried to focus mainly on Clear Card Arc, since it's the more complex one, giving a recap of the events (and even this, is heavily summarized as it skips scenes mainly related to the relationships and bonds between the characters - I tried to keep it very plot-focused).

Because of this, the timeline is full of spoilers right from the beginning, and it is NOT intended as a replacement for a proper reading of the story (as in, don't read this and then go around saying you know the Clear Card story, cause you don't).

Whenever ages/years have been openly stated in-story, I included it in the timeline too (i.e., Kero says he slept 30 years inside the Clow Book, hence this also tells us that Clow died 30 years prior the events of Clow Card Arc).

There's a count for Kaito's time-rewinds, just for fun!

That said, you can check the animated timeline HERE. I used Visme to make it, as it makes things easier to read and it's cuter and more fun than making a post here!

Preview of how it'll look like:

If you liked it and was helpful for you, you're welcome to share it! 😁

I lied I’m not done yet. Consider comic Siffrin without a party. Without the wish that lets them overpower the King’s. Stuck in a cycle that really really really never ends.

Until they make a wish of their own, and find a new desire.

Their journey in Vaugarde alone. If time kept moving elsewhere even as Siffrin went back and back and back again…

Well. I just wonder. I just wonder.

How stuck in time the country really is.

I think the part of Ghost Story that resonates the most with me personally is the way that a lot of Joey's character arc is about simultaneously yearning for and romanticizing a queer past but also imposing modern ideas onto that past. He thinks he would pass better in the past, in a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere where as long as he dresses correctly no one will question him, but he doesn't actually want everything else that comes with being queer in that era. He wants there to be a happy ending. And that's just not up to him at all. Don't we all wish that there were more queer happy endings in history? Don't we all fall into the trap of thinking "[insert very specific experience] would have been better back then [if I ignore the surrounding context of why it was "better" in my opinion]" every now and then?

And I'm also just obsessed with the entire part near the end where Joey is talking to Hao about how trans history is perceived as inherently different from history more generally and how that scene as a whole is so much about Joey taking for granted the fact that he knows other trans people, takes for granted that there are people who understand. Hao, in this past that Joey has been romanticizing, may have had an easier time starting over somewhere new with a new name and new clothes, but he also feels like he is the only person in the world like him. "Must be nice to know so many others that you can be annoyed by them." Like Joey's feelings about how trans identities being more visible has made him easier to clock are valid but to act like the opposite of that is inherently better circles back to the false idea that he can simultaneously have his perfect idea of queer history without all the baggage that it comes with. And how this scene talks about Joey having to confront his insecurities about being a trans gay man specifically and having to make peace with the fact that he can't just make himself become cis magically but that could be an entire post by itself.

Ayo! I wanted to ask about what software or app do use to write fanfic? Or what editing do you use?

oh i just open up a microsoft word doc and start yapping. as for editing, i think the sheer quantity of typos i make prove that it's just me bare-knuckling it out here like a goddamn medieval peasant writing religious texts from memory by candle light. also grammerly but only when i'm posting things to ao3.

[pebblesun]

I hope I'm not being pushy by asking, but are there any further updates on the plushies?

No don't worry!! I was actually going to post another update today since I have received more info from my manu. Sadly, there has been more delays due to quality assurance :')

As of now I don't have a specific date for when they'll be finally completed and mailed to me. I understand I originally set the ship by date in the listing to be late May. So If you really needed your plushies by a certain date and this causes issues for you please DM me! but I'll relay to you the info that I received!

"White Hair Doll: There are cracked wings on the back, so they are being repaired; Red hair doll: the embroidery on the top of the head was finished and damaged, so it's being reworked and finished right away. I will send you some pictures and videos so you can communicate with your customers. We want to mail you a shipment that is free of defects, so there will be some delays, for which I apologize."

here's the videos they sent! I edited them all into one so I could put them all on the same post (sorry the quality is a little crunchy!)
