#userdata.meta

one of the first things i ever drew for function.heartbeat, long before we ever thought we'd be making a massive series like this. all the way back in fucken 2023!! and now its finally out in chapter 22 of performance guidelines

How would that work here? would it be a 100% grey arm or would it be like full metal????

absolutely INSANE to see my inbox fill up like this over the last couple of days its the best thing in the world

not a spoiler! in fact you're MEANT to be able to tell the exact date of each scene, since we give actual dates in reports and also in rex's evo chart.

so, rex was contained september 19th, 2007.

this means that on the first file, "day 2" is september 20th, 2007 (and we actually started posting the fic on sep 20 for that reason!)

the "day 0000" marker before a scene is how many days its been since rex was found by providence. and to top it off, all the transcriptions within the fic have exact dates too.

so with that knowledge, rex gets his arm chopped off on day 1101, which is september 23rd, 2010. and the very latest scene in file 19, day 1126, is october 18th.

we have an excel spreadsheet that keeps track of every single date of every single scene to make sure things were spaced out an amount that makes sense, to keep track of birthdays and the general seasons, and to double check that the days noah are at providence are mon/wed/fri as mentioned in the first chapters, and to make sure the 2008 leap year didnt mess up counting days

meant to post this earlier but fae has goldfish brain! here are all the scrapped illustrations for establish connection. i had everything sketched out before posting, and then inked the illustrations the week of posting for the most part
