Apologies for the late post! I know I said my progress would be posted on the first of this month, but some things came up, and it completely slipped my mind. But hey, better late than never, right?
          	
          	Anyway, the SoA Rewrite is coming along swimmingly. So far, 26 chapters have been written, and 22 of those chapters have been reviewed and edited! Still nowhere near completion, but I'm hoping at this rate, it'll be ready for y'alls viewing pleasure sometime mid-next year.
          	
          	That's the only update I've got for now. Hopefully next month I'll have made significant progress.

Hello again, everyone!
          
          I've decided that, for the first of every month, I'll post an announcement to update where I'm at on the SoA Rewrite. That way, I don't go radio silent on you guys, and you'll have an idea of when the rewrite will be finished. I also think this change will motivate me to stay consistent, since I'll basically have to check in with you guys every month and report my progress.
          
          This change will start in December. In the meantime, take care y'all.
          
          P.S: If you've left a comment on my conversations tab and I haven't responded, I likely haven't seen it cuz Wattpad doesn't like to notify me sometimes, so I apologize in advance for that. However, if you replied to a post of mine and I haven't responded, I likely have seen it! If that's the case, I'm not ignoring you, I just don't usually respond because I don't want to say anything generic or meaningless. Unfortunately, you can't like any messages here like you can with comments, otherwise I'd do that. But since I can't, I'll likely only be replying to questions or if I have something to say that isn't generic. However, let it be known that I truly do appreciate each and every comment you guys leave me, whether on here or on my actual stories. It certainly helps to keep me going in these trying times!

Hello, do you remember me?, I haven’t been here in a while, I was wondering if you could check out the scenarios I left you back in may some time.
          
          In the meantime, I was wondering if you could react to these new ones I came up with.
          
          1. A simple one. Akikta is with some members of the Splatoon, they meet me in a room, they see me working on a game piece of technology that none of them recognise, Akikta comes forward to see me, Marina is obviously curious and comes as well, Akikta asks what I’m doing, I just say ‘Realigning the transformer rods in this tachyon satellite array’ , which they obviously don’t understand, then Marina asks what the machine does and I look up to her for a second, then look back down and say, ‘It’s beyond your comprehension’
          
          How do you think they would respond to that?
          
          2. I am working with another unusual advanced machine later, and while I am in it, my coat get a tear in it, I walk out, someone says ‘Your coat has a tear in it’ and points to the part that goes from my knee to my ankle, I say ‘Oh, so it does’ then everyone watches me lean over to the tear, hold it together, then rub it swiftly, then I stand up straight again, shake my coat, and they see that the tear is gone, then I say, ‘There, good as new’
          
          Someone asks me how that happened, I explained that my coat consists of a nanotechnology that can realign itself when torn as the molecules know where they are supposed to be and arrange themselves there when you apply friction.
          
          3. We come to a room and someone asks what it is, I say ‘It’s a useless room full of useless junk’, Akikta asks me why I say that, I point to a sign, and it literally reads ‘Useless room full of useless junk’
          
          How do you think Akikta would react to that?
          
          4. Frye has wanted to fight me for a while now, she keeps challenging me, eventually I sigh and go ‘Fine’ I take a few steps back and casually say, ‘Come get me’, everyone watches her charge for a punch, I just grab her wrist and twist it, then pin her down

@EwanKidner 5. I think everyone would reasonably have their minds absolutely blown, since such tech is unheard of even in a technologically advanced society such as the octarians. Marina especially would be flabbergasted since the manipulation of time is something she knows would take ten of her lifetimes to fully grasp and understand. She'd more than likely be a bit more cautious around you. I think the only ones who'd be less mind-blown and more awestruck at how awesome you manipulating time is would be Pearl, Frye, and New Agent 3.
            
            6. I can imagine this would be the equivalent of Akikta being unable to understand the catchphrases and odd wordings the Inkfish employ. To them, Akikta and you would be spouting off mumbo jumbo. If anyone asked what y'all were doing, Akikta would just respond with "It's a human thing. You wouldn't understand."
            
            7. Akikta would think about the job profession and wonder if that's something he should've took up back in Alterna, seeing as how he is also interested in biology and studying the body. Pearl would straight up suggest you were a graverobber due to your wording. Callie would ask a million and one questions about the human anatomy, seeing as you just revealed you have experience with it. Marina would probably do the same as Callie, but in a more respectful manner. She'd also relate to your scientist and engineering job, and it'd bring back somewhat fond memories of her time in Octo Valley, back when she was under DJ Octavio's reign.

@EwanKidner Hey! I remember you. Sorry, I saw this a while ago but kept forgetting to respond, so I'm doing it now before I forget again. Also, I had responded to the stuff you sent me before, but I guess for some reason that never went through, so I'll be responding to that again as well. First things first though.
            
            1. Since the group knows Akikta himself is also intelligent for a human, they'd turn to him for answers. It might be beyond their comprehension, but surely it isn't beyond his! Meanwhile, Akikta is thinking he's messing with something from the Transformers universe, which would then have him spiral out of control, cuz that would mean you'd have access to things considered to be fictional (or at least have the ability to conjure them into existence).
            
            2. Akikta and Marina would more than likely be fangirling over the fact you have nanotechnology. Akikta because that was no more than a concept in Alterna, and Marina because it's only a theory to her people.
            
            3. Depends on if the sign is readable to Akikta or not. If it is, he'd be embarrassed that he missed something in plain sight and drop the topic in an attempt to erase his embarrassment. If he can't, he'd assess all the items in the room to see if it all is actually junk. Even with junk, Akikta might find some use for it all.
            
            4. Shiver and Pearl would definitely be the main compatriots making fun of Frye. Big Man and Marina would probably not say anything just to be polite and not make the situation worse. I feel like Marie would be largely indifferent, not caring all too much. Callie would be the one to offer her way too many changes of clothing. And of course, Frye would definitely just be trying to start up yet another fight after she realizes what happened.

What sounds like random stuff to each other and them not getting it?
            
            7. Another funny one, Someone asks some stuff about me, I mention that my first job was a surgeon, I mentioned that it was I really fun job, but I word it poorly and say,
            
            ‘I just really loved putting my hands inside of people and getting all close up and personal with their insides’
            
            After a few seconds I ask ‘Sorry did that sound weird?’
            
            I also tell them that I only liked being a surgeon because it didn’t require talking to patients, because I didn’t like socialising but I did like biology and bodies, which is why I chose that.
            
            I also mention that later on I left that job and had a lengthy career history, being part of the military for a while at some points, but also working as an architect, scientist engineer and a lot of other things, although I note that I generally preferred work that involved things rather than people.

I'm also known as Nexs0me on Fanfiction, and I'll be posting my messages through here from now on, as you suggested, though keep in mind that I'll be including several posts at once into this one post (which I will be replying to myself to save space) due to the character limit. I know it may seem like a lot of information, but please bear with me (pun/joke not intended, I swear).
          
          For now, here is what I believe should be how the timeline goes (top to bottom after Arrival of the Tribe; I will be including the reasons why for each story in other posts, though order this allows each conflict from both canon series to be in an alternating order in this series):
          
          Return of the Mammalians
          
          Tropical Freeze
          
          Side Order
          
          Bananza

TheLGuy

@N3xwatts This actually gives me a pretty solid idea on how to structure the rest of the series going forward- I mean, the idea for the Tropical Freeze segment is actually peak (and way better than what I initially was going for). Not entirely sure if I want to do Side Order yet for the series, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I will keep it under heavy consideration, though.
            
            Also, the fact that you took the time out of your day to make a playlist for the series warms my heart. I think this alone will motivate me to continue working on the series as a whole! Thank you for the inspiration.

I do have song lyrics that I can provide, but I think I'll leave my suggestions here for now, give you time to process everything and all that. I'm really sorry if it seems like a lot, though I implore you to look it over and jot it down for the future. I hope these suggestions help in the creation of the rest of Splatoon Country!

Hello all, it's been a while since I made an announcement-
          
          Thought it'd be time to say something since I just hit over 100 followers on this account! May not seem like much, but to be honest, when I started my writing journey I didn't expect to hit 10, so it's kind of a big deal to me.
          
          But anyway, I'm making this announcement to inform those who might've not seen my Twitter/X post. I have been working on the SoA Rewrite since February and have been making good progress on it thus far. That's also why none of my other incomplete stories have been updated as frequently. I can't give a clear estimate on when the rewrite will be done, but I'd like to say it'll be done around the same time next year. At this rate, maybe even sooner than that.
          
          Not to worry though, that doesn't mean imma leave you guys high and dry. Until the rewrite is complete, I'll be updating my other story, SC: Arrival of the Tribe, infrequently. I'm talking maybe once or twice a month, just to give people something to read (or to let them know I'm not dead). If I finish that story before the rewrite is done, then I'll start posting chapters for the Gravity Falls x The Owl House x Amphibia fic next.
          
          Additionally, I'm trying to get into the habit of using Gmod more often, so you can expect to see more posters and OC bios on my Bluesky account pretty soonish.
          
          Lastly, it's not necessary, but if you'd like, you could also check out my YouTube channel where I do mostly Splatoon/Nintendo related stuff. Just posted a new vid recently. Link to it is in my bio.
          
          Anyways, that's all I really wanted to talk about. Hope you all stay well!

@TheLGuy let it be known. Your shit rocks. Made me actually feel something. And keep in mind those emotions are still being processed even after reading lmfao

@TheLGuy I remember you saying in your latest video that you are reworking SoA, and I wonder what exactly you plan on changing, adding or removing from your timeline/AU.
            Either way I'm going to re-read the now old versions and when the updated versions come out, I'll see what changed (unless you note yourself the changes for the readers). I find your fics peak and I can't wait to re-read the updated version of SoA

Yo, just wanted to say your Nightshift at Fredina's: Five Long Nights story was top shelf. Very nice  
          
          P.s. is there going to be a follow up?

@TheLGuy bro it's in my top 5 best fanfics. This is how you turna Gooner game into peak fiction. It was one of the best works I've ever seen. I really wanna see the sequel soon.

@ArcCreators First off, thank you, thank you! I was hoping it turned out well, so it's good to hear others think so. Secondly, yes! Currently plotting the second story rn, which I'm almost done doing so
