* Calliope and Caliborn's mother destroys remnants of a planet which turns out to host the canon fantrolls, Nektan Whelan and Mierfa Durgas.

Due to rampant TimeTravelTropes, this page has been organized into multiple timelines. It's difficult, if not impossible, to say which timeline is "first", so their order is essentially arbitrary with respect to one another [[hottip:*:Simply put, from the perspective of other timelines, each timeline is a PlaceBeyondTime, so don't assume that Earth came first chronologically just because its timeline is listed first]] Events within the timelines do not always have a specific timestamp associated with them, but are listed in chronological order as best as possible. Indented events are likewise in chronological order, elaborating upon the chain of events taking place during a specific span of time. A few further notes on terms as well should be clarified:
* Beta and Alpha are used sometimes to refer to the Pre and Post Scratch Human Sessions respectively [[hottip:*:This comes from the naming of Sburb: pre-Scratch, it is Sburb Beta and post-Scratch it is Sburb Alpha]] and are not to be confused with beta, or offshoot timelines, which deviate from the alpha, or main, timeline. Due to the confusion this causes, they should be referred to as Pre and Post Scratch, or B1 and B2, explained below.

* John realizes that Fruit Gushers are actually a Betty Crocker product, and has a brief mental breakdown from the shock. [[hottip:*:THIS IS STUPID.]]

** Becsprite finally steps in and destroys the imp in a violent nuclear explosion. [[hottip:*:Good dog. Best friend.]]

** A Crosbytop computer. [[hottip:*:Who's this douchebag?]]

* 2024 (13 [[HitSoHardTheCalendarFeltIt Post Condescension]]): [[InsaneClownPosse Presidents Jay and Dope]] are elected for a single term (as dual Presidents, not President and Vice President), in "the last free election the world would ever see", and highly degrade the quality of the United States. They proceed to make a mockery of everything. This is considered to be the decline of human civilization.

** The Earth itself is salvaged and becomes a part of the cherubim universe.

* Presumably, Gamzee travels back in time.

* The meteor carrying the trolls, Dave and Rose arrives from the Furthest Ring, and enters one of Skaia's defense portals. Dave, Rose, Kanaya, Karkat and Terezi are teleported to various lands by Grimbark Jade, unable to remember the events of the past few hours, and John is missing entirely.

* The meteor carrying the trolls, Dave and Rose arrives from the Furthest Ring.
* Gamzee travels back in time.

* At some point, the trolls' Ectobiology Lab turns up at this universe. It however was greatly altered by Gamzee; for example, Rose's new journal has many dark spots, and there is an entire room dedicated to Calliope and Caliborn, along with resources that cherubs absolutely adore.

** Caliborn and the Felt defeat Yaldabaoth. In turn he grants Caliborn "unconditional immortality", essentially turning him into Lord English.

* The plan is nearing its end. John finds Meenah, Vriska, Aranea, Aradia and Sollux, and Aranea proceeds to give them an exposition about the cherubs.

*** John turns fifteen. He realizes that Con Air sucks, and proceeds to dream briefly, coincidentally with the third part of Meenah's quest and MINISTRIFE.

* Calliope and Caliborn's parents wind up in a mating ritual, which spawns an egg containing the shared body of Calliope and Caliborn.

* Equius reaches LOQAM and gives Aradia her soulbot.

* Tavros's hive is built all the way to the first gate. Unfortunately for him, it's built without ramps. Vriska tries to get him to climb those stairs to no avail, then begins harassing him, making ''him'' apologize for his own handicapped state, until Kanaya threatens to upend a load gaper/toilet on her.
* Vriska then gets her rocket shoes from downstairs and gives their captchalogue code to Tavros, who alchemizes a rocket car with them and heads to the gate. While she is down there, Kanaya cleans up her respiteblock, arranging the broken eight balls and dice into neat little piles.

* Feferi arrives at Sollux's hive at LOBAF. She kisses him, waking up his Dersite dream self. That dream self then wanders around Derse, all the while being contacted by Clubs Deuce from future Alternia. Sollux proceeds to blow up his terminal, believing him to be another doomed voice in his head, before jetting off to LOBAF and finding Feferi battling floating brains.

** The Earth itself is salvaged and became a part of the cherubim universe.

** Roxy's sprite is prototyped with Feferi and Nepeta, resulting in Fefetasprite.

* Upon seeing the "Calamity", as Aranea terms it, Meenah sets out to explore her dream bubble and (so far) unsuccessfully attempt to recruit Aranea, Rose, Dave, Kanaya, and her friends from Beforus into an army against Lord English. It is revealed that Kanaya has a crush on Rose. One of the Beforans, Kankri Vantas, engages in a long-winded, one-sided "dial9gue" with Karkat over various matters of social justice. Meenah tricks Kankri into leaving Karkat's side and gets Karkat to let her into his memory vault.

*** Jade turns fourteen

*** John turns fifteen.

* At some point, Rose's new journal turns up on Calliope's side of the room. It however has many dark spots.

* Calliope wakes up, presumably for the last time. She explores her interests and sylladex, takes a look at the outside, and finally goes to sleep.
* Caliborn wakes up, now in total control of the shared body. He bites off the leg that bears Calliope's shackle, goes outside, and opens his Cruxtruder. The Kernelsprite turns into a black hole, and absorbs the cherubim planet and part of the sun as Caliborn enters the Medium

* Skaia goes entirely dark.

* The planet Beforus is home to two temporally separated sets of twelve [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]] each. The later generation plays Sgrub, but fails because of a critical glitch in their session caused by Lord English. They are forced to Scratch, hoping that the changes to their reset universe (which include Beforus being renamed to Alternia and having an additional moon, a different First Guardian, and Descendants and Ancestors switching places) will be sufficient to ensure success.

* Aranea strikes a deal with Echidna to scratch their session and start anew, at the cost of their existence. The failed players become the Ancestors to the new players-to-be.

* At various points in Alternian history, the meteors bearing the grubs who will become Orphaner Dualscar, the Grand Highblood, E%ecutor Darkleer, Marquise Spinneret Mindfang, Neophyte Redglare, the Dolorosa, the Disciple, and the Ψiioniic impact Alternia. They are adopted by their respective lusii.

* The meteor bearing the grub who will become the Signless impacts Alternia. The Dolorosa finds him and, knowing that no lusus exists that will accept him, raises him herself.

* The meteor bearing the grub who will become the Summoner impacts Alternia. He is adopted by a tiny winged bull lusus.

* The Red Miles finally get to post-Scratch Earth's universe and destroy it. While unknown, it is likely that the Earth itself was salvaged and became a part of the cherubim universe.

* The planet Beforus is home to two temporally separated sets each of twelve [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]]. The later generation plays Sgrub, but fails because of a critical glitch in their session caused by Lord English.

** John sees what he presumes to be a mother and daughter salamander, and immediately reenacts his favorite scene from ConAir.

** Upon seeing baby Mom and Rose, John enacts the ConAir scene yet again, giving the oil-stained bunny John received from Dave to baby Rose, and also giving the knit-repaired bunny he received from Rose to baby Jade for good measure.

* Kanaya develops diurnal tendencies, finding the Alternian sun unnatural invigorating. Having difficulty sleeping during the day as her lusus and other trolls inform her she should be, she wanders the desert for hours on end. During one of these explorations, she is visited by Doc Scratch, who puts her to sleep. Her dream self immediately awakens on Prospit.
