Chronology (Rough)

A Note on Continuity

Cumic Sans doesn't follow a super strict chronology. I don't have time or mental energy to be super sure every detail is in place and every cause and effect is perfectly lined up. For the most part, as I write, as a human, in my brain/skull, it builds on itself chronologically, but I might go back and edit or rewrite stuff out of order which might lead to conflicts.

Frankly: I don't care. This isn't that serious and the whole point is absurdity, if some details here and there don't get across, that's just how it is. So if you're the type of person to track this stuff and see it as a little puzzle, all power to you and feel free to reach out and let me know! ;^) But please do set your expectations low. This is an art piece, if some pesky details have to die for the purpose of the art, so be it. =^)

Key/Explanation of Notation

With that out of the way, let's take a look. As it stands right now, there are a few "types" of entry.

  • Standard: One off that progresses the story but isn't part of an arc.

  • One off: Short story that doesn't affect a whole lot plot-wise but is still funny or good.

  • Arc: Might be made up of any type of entry, but generally is its own small plot spread across a few entries.

  • Online event: It's the Near Future™, so social media and the news still play a large part in everyone's life. In fact, behind the scenes, the entire world/earth/human race is still interacting and developing. And yes, as a writer I'm tracking that in the background; in fact the vast majority of my media intake in my personal life is the news... But not politics solely, lots of tech developments and inventions, as well as a lot of startup business news. I am a scientist after all. So, through Protag doomscrolling (infinitely scrolling feeds to the detriment of your mental health), we do get to learn a lot about the outside world. But besides some brief events, there's not a whole lot of overlap in narrative, it just gives you a better idea of the tone and nature of the world Cumic Sans is written in, and, in that sense, an indirect view into the context and culture that make the characters the way they are.

  • Non-canon: Some kind of pointless little story that doesn't actually take place in the Cumic Sans universe (or at least not in its continuity), but I think the Cumic Sans characters being thrown into it would provide a valuable critique on the situation or it would just be too funny to NOT see how they would react.
