October 1988. Comico adapted ROBOTECH into comics form on a one-episode-per-issue basis, but Episode 37, "Dana's Story," got lengthier treatment in this 42-page special. "Dana's Story" is the only "new" episode of the original ROBOTECH series; it's essentially a clip show, constructed by editing together footage from SUPER DIMENSION FORTRESS MACROSS and SUPER DIMENSION CAVALRY SOUTHERN CROSS to support the assertion that the blond heroine of SOUTHERN CROSS, Dana Sterling (called Jeanne Françaix in the original show), is the half-Zentraedi daughter of MACROSS costars Max and Miriya (called Komilia Maria in MACROSS). For the comics adaptation, Markalan Joplin also incorporates some elements from the Jack McKinney novels and the ROBOTECH graphic novel Comico had published two years earlier.
Making Dana the daughter of Max and Miriya created a stronger link between the two segments of the American series, and also became part of the chronological spine of the series: The present-day sequences of "Dana's Story" have Dana and her friend Bowie Grant graduating from the military academy on the 15th anniversary of Khyron's final assault on the SDF-1, making Dana 16 or 17 years old. Since ROBOTECH: THE MACROSS SAGA takes place over a somewhat longer period than the equivalent events in the Japanese MACROSS series, ending in early 2014, that means SOUTHERN CROSS begins in 2029. For a long time, this was about the only point about the chronology of the series that anyone agreed on, although the official timeline now says the ROBOTECH MASTERS period ends in mid-2030, not quite 18 months later.

i have the entire ross lore timeline in my head and i dont feel like waiting on art motivation to dump the lore so um. official ross lore timeline starts now (context: ross is my camp camp oc who used to be a self insert but has kind of taken on a life of his own at this point and is basically nothing like me) this is gonna be a long post but i had to dump the lore eventually
Camp Lilac: Ross and his childhood friend Lynn go to an out of state summer camp that they used to go to every year as kids. It's their last year being young enough to go (Ross turns 18 that summer) so even though they haven't been in years, they give it one last visit. Drawings/Comics that happen during this time: May 30th, 20XX , Punch Buggy/Marshmallows , Spooky Island , May 30th, 20XX Redraw (Just the first image) , Cuddling, As Pals Do
Woodscouts: Camp Lilac is raided by the woodscouts and the campers are taken prisoner to be trained as scouts. The Lilac campgrounds are left completely abandoned. Ross and Lynn try to plan their escapes, but Lynn raises up in the ranks in the meantime. Ross is starting to suspect that maybe Lynn doesn't want to leave at all, and that the power is starting to go to his head. They fight and Lynn sends Ross on a mission with some other scouts to go to Camp Campbell. Drawings that happen around this time: Abandoned Camp , Ross and Pikeman
Camp Campbell: Between the episodes Scout's Dishonor and Camp Kool Kidz, Ross gets sent on his mission to Camp Campbell with troop 818 (Pikeman, Snake and Petrol). They play a game, winner gets a camper from the loser's camp. Unfortunately Cameron himself is visiting that day, so he takes the deal and somehow Camp Campbell actually wins. Since none of the Woodscouts really like Ross, they unanimously vote him out and leave him there. He of course wants to go and call for help to get the campers from Camp Lilac rescued, but Cameron doesn't want the authorities anywhere near camp, and especially doesn't want to be involved in a missing persons case, so he just doesn't let him. He convinces David and Gwen to go along with it so the camp doesn't get shut down, and they both agree because David loves the camp and Gwen needs the job. From this point forward, Ross is basically a prisoner at Camp Campbell, and David and Gwen actively stop him from escaping or calling the authorities. David does give him a First Day Camper button though, so at least there's that.
Seasons 1 and 2: Ross is being held at the camp against his will. He isn't particularly friendly to the campers or counselors and makes frequent escape attempts. He doesn't like participating in camp activities, but does anyways when he's told to because why would he cross the people holding him hostage. Since he's older than the other campers, David and Gwen sometimes have him help them set up/manage activities, but he's not happy about it. He ends up sort of befriending Ered because she's the closest person to his age that isn't actively kidnapping him. During all this time Lynn is still growing more powerful in the Woodscouts and has sort of a leadership position now. One of his big goals is to return Ross to the Woodscouts so they can go back to being friends. Drawings that happen during this time: I Don't Even Want To Be Here , Cult Camp Lore , Midnight Post-Work Doodles , Ross and Ered (Those last two could also be seasons 3+)
Seasons 3+: After Cameron is arrested, David and Gwen decide it's actually not super great morally to kidnap a teenager, so they give him an out. David gives him his phone back and tells him he can call whoever he wants now. Ross is excited, but then to his own horror he realizes he has grown emotionally attached and doesn't want to leave and get the camp shut down, which is really annoying. "I can't believe I got stockholm syndrome'd" and all that. He also justifies it to himself somewhat with the excuse that Lynn won't willingly leave the woodscouts yet and he doesn't want to go home without him. So from early season 3 onward, he's at Camp Campbell willingly and starts being more friendly and casual towards everyone else, and his main goal shifts from "escape camp" to "convince Lynn to leave the Woodscouts (and try to salvage this summer somewhat)". Now that he has the freedom to do what he wants, he finds out that as far as his parents know, he was never missing. The Sleepy Peak Police Department did put up missing posters, but they intentionally kept all information on the case contained to Sleepy Peak because they knew it was the Woodscouts and either were being paid off or just didn't want to go to the effort of taking them on. Drawings that happen during this time: S4 Ross Sketches , Camp Camp Doodles , Jeremy , Barbie Meme , Inktober Redraws
20th Anniversary Special: Ross spends the entire "end of camp" segment worried about what he'll tell Lynn's parents. He never managed to convince Lynn to leave the Woodscouts, if anything he's just doubled down on it. At some point, David gives Ross a pamphlet for their upcoming Junior Counselor program for the summer of 20XX+1. Finally Ross decides to just explain everything to Lynn's parents when they come to pick him up, but to his surprise Lynn is already waiting there when he gets to the pick-up area. So they go home and have to act like it never happened, because as far as anyone else knows, it never did. But both of them have plans to return to Sleepy Peak the next year.

If you OPT-IN, you can boop your moots!!!!
Click opt-in
Look for urls that have 'Boop' next to them

UPDATE:
To SUPER-BOOP someone, you have to be on desktop. Hover your courser over the boop paw button until it shakes. Then send it! (This still only counts as sending ONE boop)
To EVIL BOOP someone, you hover over the boop button for about ten seconds! 😈 (ty to someone in the replies for this knowledge!)

Other things to note :
While the counter changes to 'MAX' after sending and/or receiving 1000 boops, this does NOT limit your ability to continue in the booping chaos. The counter just stops going up after 1000.
If you want to send a Boop to someone on a side blog, THE BOOP WILL SHOW YOUR MAIN BLOG URL. Much like how following someone or liking a post will show your main url in their notes, even if they only follow your side blog.
