thinking about the poll about canon vs non-canon ships that didn't define terms, and the current fandom focus on things "going canon," so i made up a scale.
this is NOT a question about whether canon matters to what you ship (or matters at all), just how to define the phrase "canon ship."
many ships start low on the scale and slow burn their way up, so vote for the point when you would have called them "canon." i agonized over the order (especially #4-6) for a day and a half, but i went with the order in which i think joe random with a nielsen ratings box and no tumblr account would notice/call something a romantic relationship.

Made a timeline the ages of characters that are important no matter what in the MSQ along with some secondary and tertiary characters that have endeared themselves to me for my future reference lol. Might correct them as but it's good to have it in paper.
Taigat was born in 1549 ๐, Dyulgor was born in 1465 ๐
Legacy: 1572 | A Realm Reborn: spring of 1577 - autumn of 1578 | Heavesward: autumn of 1578 - summer of 1579 | Stormblood: autumn of 1579 - spring of 1581 | Shadowbringers: spring of 1581 - summer of 1582 | Endwalker summer of 1582 - beginning of 1583
Meanings for each color: The age in ARR stayed the same | Age changed because the character was exaggeratedly young | The game, encyclopedia and wiki didn't say their age | The age was moved to fit the expansion they first appear on | Other reasons
