Fan Fiction Fridays 1; The Timeline of the world of my fan fictions

 As COVID ebbs away from American society, we start making lifestyle adjustments from what we did before the plague hit our Country early in 2020, like finding new work, placing more value on friends and family and changing our ways from un-working, antiquated, biased systems (for the most part).  I spent most of the period playing video games and posting screenshots from those video games on the Internet, and as such, I think that I will severely decrease use of one of those websites (if not just quit it altogether) and possibly just get MiiTopia, the DLC for Hyrule Warriors; Age of Calamity and Metroid Dread (provided they don't force Samus to have a boyfriend again) before considering myself "complete" with collecting video games for the rest of my life.  They have been innumerable joys for countless hours and days, but I'm losing the drive to keep up with the new games and new consoles and am also getting into fights online with other gamers over hypotheses about characters, as well as how they should be treated in fan art and fan fiction.  Rather than turn it into an endless scream match that will probably end with both of us threatening to rape each other's mother, I'm planning on either just posting screenshots on the other website or just packing it up and going, I'm just not sure yet and I will decide on/by August 6th, when I will post a special story here and there in celebration of Metroid's 35th Anniversary.

Anyway, my fan fictions feel they need an introduction, I started writing them when I wanted to make a trilogy of Animated Mario films in the late 2000s.  As time went on and I didn't go to film school, they turned into a series based on the characters in Super Smash Bros. and the series that go into it.  I'll discuss some of the more prominent characters in later weeks; but first, here is a timeline of events, updated for the newest Smash Bros. update a little under two weeks ago.
