okay but real talk tho someone does need to create a proper lore timeline for the islanders (and the fandom) because our primary problem in theory crafting is that lore comes so quickly and from so many different povs that the longer time passes, the harder it is to remember the past details and you end up using only newer clues to theorise.

now, that isn't inherently bad, sometimes you do need to discount older information that might've been retconned, but i genuinely don't think this is the case for most qsmp lore -- the admins seem to be adept at taking little things and adjusting them into canon, and keeping track of details.

ultimately, it's something i've seen as a growing issue with theories, though, because i know i'm very lucky to understand english, portuguese, and spanish perfectly (and being anal retentive about lore) which means that for the majority of the big lore drops and a lot of the smaller ones, i've been able to keep track and keep in mind everything -- not everyone can do that.

i may just work on a huge master post of lore in the future, but man it would be easier if the admins compiled it all for us bc it's a lot.
