I commissioned the amazing and wonderful and talented @neoyi, for my fic Break Point!!

Under a Cut bc NSFW (don't worry the bits are covered):

Alright the timeline of sea of stars is messy because it incorporates two things that are a pain in the ass to wrap our heads around, time travel and a multiverse. We at least know about three multiverses that we follow in sea of stars

1. The gang get to the top of the big ass water tower and DON’T knock on the door which ends on the gang getting their ass kicked by the bad guys

2. The gang DOES knock on the door and meet Mr. Toxic gay relationship with the literal devil, Garl gets 360 no scoped by aprehoul DIES and then the gang + b’st go to serai world, they clap firegirl traitorous ass DIES & the lesbian god Valere and the aromantic king Zale become guardian gods and only return on Garl’s death anniversary,

3. Knock on door, find depressed gay wizard, Garl DIES and gets sent to the lobby, they go to small spoon (serai) world, they do the completionist thing without the charity fraud part, Garl respawns, Garl calls aprehoul a bitch and he gets sent to gay baby jail firegirl is ALIVE, Valere gets married to teaks and serai and Zale gets a cat becoming guardian gods and returning to their world on Garl’s birthday

So, after that which one of these multiverses does the messenger take place??, well the only possible answer is that it takes place on the Garl doesn’t respawn universe due to the absence of firegirl existence on the messenger.

BUT HEY THAT’S JUST A THEORY A GAME THEORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I think we're in the third one.

I can't imagine Sabotage would have bothered to have Erlina survive Sea of Stars's "Good Ending" if they didn't plan on using her for something.

Picnic Panic concluded noncommittally, with Barma'thazel out there doing something of an ambiguous nature. That was in 2019. Four years later, Sea of Stars made a point to have Elysan'darelle live and be reunited with Barma'thazel.

The Barma'thazel of Picnic Panic is confirmed to be the same one from Ninja's timeline. How does that make sense? Quoth the Shopkeeper: It doesn't. Don't worry about it.

So that means that as of the current endpoint for The Messenger, Brugaves is alive and well. Since no clear timeframe is established for when he and Erlina reunited, that credits scene could easily take place after Picnic Panic.

In fact, there's something weird going on in that scene.

It's so sweet that they're finally reunited! After all this time and--

Hold up, what the fuck is that? Why is there a whole-ass second planet in the sky? That's not the moon, because there's the moon right there in front of it, so what the fuck is that?

Also it appears to be nestled in the clouds. Like. There are clouds going behind it. It's in our atmosphere. What the fuck.
