The 5 Gospels

**The 5 Gospels** are a singing band that appears in Our Lies, So Deceitful. The band consists of 4 women and 1 man; Matilda, Markita, Lucy, Johanna and Christian. They are often seen at the Perriebook Hotel, a prestigious inveworld hotel for visiting 'other realmers'.

## History

All five of the gospels are confirmedly deceased humans that were sent to The Havenfields (a giant cornfield that resembles a near-heaven). 2/5 of the humans; Markita and Johanna died sometime in the 1860s in the United States as slaves during the Civil War, while Lucy was a Italian teenager who died of tuberculosis at 13 in the 1880s, Matilda was a British aspiring journalist in the 1910s and Christian was an abused underground singer in the 1890s-1900s. All five met and formed the band sometime during WW2 as "an influx of men joined the fields" where they later created and expanded some acts and songs, eventually voluntarily leaving their heaven to become celebrities in the Inveworld.

Apocalypse Events

### Early Days

It is unknown how the 'shuteye virus' started, though it is known that it started somewhere within Central Asia in small numbers as early as 2019. According to old flashbacks and re-told stories, the virus was originally not very popular, with only small knowledge about cities and countries facing a "strange epidemic". It took about 3 years (to 2022) until the virus hit a dangerous number, did the public and social media start to notice it. Many sources claim the virus was "overwhelming" and "happened so quickly". It is unknown when exactly the virus hit on a global scale, though it is known it was around mid 2022 (May-August).

### During

The first case of the virus in North America appeared on the East Coast of the United States through an immigrant family. Due to this, the virus was often blamed on immigrants or travelers, creating much division and discrimination toward them. Other abroad nations closed their airports and borders early (such as Israel), slowing the process of the outbreak, while the United States did not undergo any precautionary measures, other than closing the border with Canada and walling the city of NYC. Power and trade quickly broke down quite early, with almost all people being forced to use candles and cans of food as quick methods. The first countries to fall from the overwhelming virus were South Asian and South American nations.

Mnemo and Syne

**Mnemo and Syne** are two Trastite beings who live in the Treheminor (or also known as the Soulless Void or Spirit World). They were birthed sometime around The Source's creation, though their parents and siblings are no longer living. Sometime around 3000BC, the twins were entrusted as Sollectors, or also known as Grim Reapears to humans.
Kingdom of Esmaska

**The Kingdom of Esmaska** (previously The Union of Esmaska-Asturaska) was a country located in West Europe somewhere within the Iberian peninsula. It bordered both Portugal and Spain and had a coastline. The land It was a major political, economic and trading kingdom with a minor empire that affected mostly South America and East Africa. However, mainland Esmaska is a nation that encompasses atleast 15 tribes of people under the Áleasphere.

## History

Founded in the mid 12th century by a group of Anglo pirates named the Áleasers, the country's original inhabitants were killed or forced to mingle with the newcomers. These descendants of Áleasers and/or natives were later called Esmaskmen and formed the first Áleasan Language; Esmaskan. Shortly therafter, the Esmaskmen formed their own minor kingdoms that suffered from many raids from their Spanish enemies. Banding together, the Esmaskmen formed a country-alliance with the Asturimen, Leons and Zerescies; creating The Union of Esmaska-Asturaska in the 13th century; with the Leons and Zerescies having their own parliaments within the nation. These four nations quickly became under much pressure from the Spanish; resulting in the change of language to the Áleasan Language Tree to the three others as well as the introduction of the monarchy shared between Esmaskmen and Asutrimen.

Inveworld

Traorelm

Magic Realm

The **Inveworld**, or also known as the **Traorelm** or the **Spirit Realm** is a realm that makes up one of the 7 Realms. It was created around the same time as the other 7 realms, with its main inhabitants being Trastitees (Spirits) instead of Humans, though deceased adult humans do typically teleport to the Traorelm after death.

## Characteristics

The Inveworld, unlike the Human realm (or Overworld) is hugely scattered and broken apart; which is mostly due to Trastitees only living in gas planets. Consequently, earth-like planets do not exist and are gas planets and/or destroyed planets by unbothered Trastitees. Despite this, some earth-like lands are formed by Trastitees who acknowledge the deceased humans and attempt to help them as their souls are stolen/detached, even though Trastitees don't have the same emotions as Humans.

The Inveworld is also home to many other species, typically ex-human species that self-modified themselves to help Trastitees or other spiritual beings; such as Banshees and Wraiths. Despite this, most of the Inveworld is populated by Trastitees. The Inveworld is also home to many refugee magicfolk who migrated sometime in the 1500s due to the Great Collapse, as such it hosts some magic icons such as Hecate and Tezcatlipoca.

## List of species

* Trastitees (Spirits)
* Grealers (Grim Reapers)
* Celomers (servants of Charon)
* Hunnmites (servants of Hunno)
* Magicfolk
* Horsemen
* Banshees
* Wraiths
Mia Towen

• Pearl Towen (unknown)

• 4 unnamed children †

**Mia Towen** (neé unknown), is a recurring character and survivor of the Better Days Ahead universe apocalypse. She first appeared in "Constellation of Love" (s1.e7), though she gained no character development or substantial lines/coverage until "Expiration..." (s1.e11).

## Pre-apocalypse

Mia Towen was born sometime in 1967, in Pennsylvania; which is known due to her use of the word "yinz". At some point, she moved to one of the Great Lake states and met Dennis Towen.

#### Career

Mia Towen started working as a short story writer, most likely in romance and/or horror. Shortly after her worldwide recognition, she met Dennis Towen in a book store where her series rested. Up until the apocalypse, Mia continued this profession.

### Marriage

Mia married Dennis at an unknown location and time. They eventually had 4 unnamed children, all of whom were into their adulthood by the time of the apocalypse. One family member named Pearl Towen is unknown if she is Mia's daughter or not, though she was an influential person to Mia and resembled closely to Adrian Schroder.

## Post-apocalypse

Mia Towen survived the initial outbreak with her husband, Dennis Towen, alongside all four of their children. Due to their location in the Great Lake States, they adopted the term "Ripper" (crossing out their existence in Illinois) and presumably joined several groups and/or safe-zones. At some point early on the apocalypse, all four of their children perished; prompting them to save and adopt Buddy in Kentucky to fill in the void of their losses. They lived in or around the Great Lake States much for the 10 year leap, with the couple eventually leaving the states for the West in 2031 to reach a city with electricity.
Schaefer Family

**Schaefer** refers to any member of the Schaefer Family in the *Better Days Ahead Universe*. They were first seen through Apollo, Gracie and Henry Schaefer in "Will I Regret This?" (s1.e6).

## History

The Schaefer family presumably originated from modern day Germany due to their German surname. At some point, the family relocated to Wichita, Kansas and settled closely to the Schroder Family.

The family survived the initial outbreak with atleast more than 5 members being there from the beginning. As of 2032, more than 22 members co-existed within the Schaefer Farm, becoming the biggest family clan of the known Wichita Family Farms. After the outbreak, the family worked with the other family farms in the area to secure the farmland's protection, with the family being the main provider for the land mines; creating huge minefields. Even after the Mayflowers' deaths, the Schaefer family continued with their communications with the other families, except the Schroders.

In March 2032, three of the twenty mentioned children; Apollo, Gracie and Henry, discovered the Schroder family children and immediately befriended them.
States

### Colorado

Colorado was the home of Tobin Schroder and his children. Compared to his brother and sister-in-law, Colorado saw the effects of the outbreak later than Missouri but roughly around the same time. At some point after his brother, Tobin was forced to flee the state with his children as the situation grew worse. Due to this, it is most likely the state shortly thereafter became overrun.

### Illinois

Illinois was first mentioned in "Constellation of Love". Its status remains unknown, but it most likely it is overrun.

### Kansas

Little is known about Kansas's status during the early stages of the outbreak, though it is known the state saw the shuteye outbreak later than two state neighbors; Colorado and Missouri. At some point, the main cities (Topeka and Wichita) became overrun, with most of the surviving population heavily abandoning their homes; leaving the urban areas to be ruled by gangs and bandits. It is known that the US government did not protect the cities and hadn't developed any quarantine or safe-zone procedure; making the shuteye takeover process very rapid. However, small pockets of farm communities did manage to successfully avoid shuteyes and fleeing survivors by constructing defenses (minefields/walls etc.) around their properties. Some of these still exist into the 2030s. As of 2032, there is no major survivor safe-zone in Kansas, with the main cities still ruled by gangs/bandits.

### Kentucky

Little is known about Kentucky's status and handling of the virus. The Towen family once resided in Kentucky during the apocalypse and rescued Buddy as his original adopted family had reanimated into shuteyes; confirming the state's partial or complete overrun.

### Missouri

Missouri was first mentioned in "Mischief Child" by Carson Schroder. Carson confirmed the state had seen huge hysteria and panic sometime in mid 2022, with his school being canceled early and the other children being rushed home/elsewhere. Due to this, it is most likely the state became overrun sometime around this event.

### Nebraska

Nebraska was confirmed to be overrun in "Expiration...". Aside from this, its survivor population and activity is unknown.

### Oklahoma

Oklahoma was confirmed to be overrun in "Expiration...". Aside from this, its survivor population and activity is unknown.

### Wyoming

Wyoming was first mentioned in "Constellation of Love". Its status remains unknown, but it most likely it is overrun.
Wizfolk

Way Down In Mississippi

The **Wizfolk**, or **Source Beings**, are an ancient species of sub-humans descended from a long line of humans afflicted with Source Magic. Wizfolk have existed in the Hurelm for over 5 billion years (Blimmaria and Myma) but became active on Earth about 7,000 years ago as a result of Source Wind that infected continents on all six habitable continents. As of the 2990s, the wizfolks presence is active, though the population is dramatically smaller compared to 21st-century wizfolk numbers.

## Traits

1. Most Wizfolk are afflicted with a Pareil, with the chances of a wizfolk not having one occurring in 1/60,000. This Pareil gives the chosen wizfolk an undeciding but powerful branch of magic. Some of these branches include; Mothachail, Nestettä, Dorcaheed (aka Dark Magic), and Lesftaheed (aka Light Magic). A Pareil is an invisible creature that lives in the person's brain, eyes, or ears.
2. Most Wizfolk

Hoffnung

**Hoffnung** is a town in Colorado appearing in Better Days Ahead. Its population before the apocalypse was notedly 771, with all of the population having abandoned the town by 2032.

## History

In the early months of the shuteye outbreak in the United States in 2022, the town suffered no cases and no casualties. It was considered a temporary safe-haven for the United States military in their attempt in liberating Denver, with even the town celebrating the militaries appearance. However, as the outbreaks grew worse and the knowledge of catching the virus remained unknown, much of the population sought isolation and bulk bought items from local stores.

Sometime in mid 2022, the power and electricity to the town was cut; prompting many of the families to abandon the town, with those remaining behind keeping the alienation rules very strict. Communication between houses were only shared through white boards and words on paper. It was not uncommon to see families boarding their houses and keeping to their own land. However, sometime in August 2022, necessities in some households became slim; forcing them to raid their neighbors. Some civilians died in these raids; creating the first known presence of shuteyes in the towns boundaries.

Situations grew worse in September 2022, with most of the houses threatening to use weapons to intruders and own families sacrificing their own members due to the uncertainty of the spread. Paranoia grew apparent, which resulted in more peoples to abandon the town to find answers or to find more resources.
My Favorite Fish

"My Favorite Fish", is a single off Gus Dapperton's debut album, "Where Polly People Go to Read". "My Favorite Fish", was released January 7th, 2019.

## **Meaning**

"My Favorite Fish", is about Gus's relationship with photographer/director Jess Farran. Despite speculation that the title links to the expression "there's plenty of fish in sea", Gus stated it was actually something Jess said to him while they were swimming.

"The video/song means the world to me. The song captures what I feel at the apex of true love as opposed to most of my music which is generally inspired by heartbreak. It is about my girlfriend. The video mostly consists of visual innuendos that mimic the lyrics in the song."

Unidentified Safe-zone

The **Unidentified Safe-zone** is a safe-zone mentioned by Mia Towen in Better Days Ahead. It is a safe-zone city located somewhere in West United States that is not in California, Colorado or Utah. As of 2031, the city is the last safe-zone and human-inhabited location in North America with electricity.

## History

### Biography

On the biography of the story, it mentions the Schroder family also advancing toward the city after the fall of their farm. Due to the confirmed locations of Season 2, Season 3 and the latter half of Season 5; it can only be concluded that the city is not located within California, Colorado or Utah. Season 4 and the first half of Season 5's location is yet to be revealed.

### "Expiration..."

On Season 1, Chapter 11; Mia mentions the city being West. On the same chapter, she mentions the family having been in Kentucky as of recently, implying that the city is not within Arizona or New Mexico, though due to the placement of Wichita; this is neither confirmed or unconfirmed. If this is confirmed, the city most likely also uses the regional term of 'Shuteye'.

### "Puny Flames For Their Pygmy Wit"

On Season 2, Chapter 2; more information toward the city and its location are revealed.
Grace Molina

**Grace Molina** (b. 2006) was a Mexican girl and survivor of the Better Days Ahead apocalypse. She was born in Mexico to a Mexican father and unknown mother, though due to her knowledge of the English language, it is possible she was Mexican-American. Grace initially survived the apocalypse in Mexico, though never made it to the United States due to being shot in the head by the US military.

## Biography

Grace was around 2 years younger than the Rubio twins and was a significant member of the village due to her unusual blonde hair. Upon returning from school one day, the Rubio twins found their village in the midst of an outbreak. Grace Molina was fighting off her recently reanimated father, who almost killed her before the Rubios intervened. From the survivors of the village, Grace was 1/3 and last surviving member of the Molina residence. It is unknown what happened to Grace's mother and other family members.

Grace traveled with the Rubio twins, having no surviving family left. She occasionally spoke of her family's poverty and goat, speaking of her knowledge of survival to a certain extent. Eventually, Grace made it to the border and attracted a Mexican teenager named Romeo. The two initially were close, though during the Storming of the Border, Grace was attacked by US militia and Romeo abandoned her. Grace was shot in the head closeby to Neoma Rubio, who promised to avenge her. Later, Neoma Rubio recognised Grace's killer and killed him; fully avenging her death.
Goldstone Family

The **Goldstone family** was a family active in Framingham, Massachusetts until August 2022 when they left for Virginia. Their status beyond this point remains unknown for all members.

## History

The Goldstone family lived in Framingham, Massachusetts for an unknown period of time; though it can be guessed they lived there for some time due to Bromo Goldstone's familiarity with the town and their ownership of an older dog.

In July 2022, the Goldstone family first became affected from the shuteye apocalypse as one of their members, Jade Goldstone, became missing after a trip to Newton, Massachusetts. It is guessed, along with the Rubio family and others, that the Goldstones eventually assumed the worst for Jade after the power and government collapsed in mid July 2022. Up until August, Jade remained missing. In August 2022, the family heard rumors from neighbors of a government safe-zone in Virginia. The family packed almost immediately and left, leaving Jade a farewell message and a couple of items for Jade; who never arrived to receive them. It is unknown if Jade was escorted to the Boston safe-zone or if the family discovered the Boston safe-zone.

Scintilla Love

• Zion Patricson

**Scintilla Love** is an American dark-romance series developed by British writer 'mylonelydreamhouse'. Its original name was 'A Reflection of Our Love' which was later re-adjusted due to its unimaginative title. It joined the 'Better Days Ahead Universe' in April 2021, bringing a pre-story of the world shown before the events of BDA.

The series stars a woman named Madeline Vlahos (originally Madeline Beckett) reflecting upon her 1960s youth-self to her newborn grandson in 2003. Upon her reflection, she also recounts the leading-up tales of Indigo Schroder and Zion Patricson, who have both recently "walked the edge of life". The story primarily takes place in a fictional town named Woodbridge, Connecticut while the storytelling and secondary city takes place in Tucson, Arizona; providing two whole new locations in the BDA universe.

## Confirmed Sequences

* The series starts in 2003 in Tucson, Arizona. Though these Arizona scenes are very small and hardly talked about. From what is seen, Madeline travels between a hospital to a hotel to her daughter's house to a graveyard.
* The series confirms the origins of the Shuteye Virus.
* Madeline's father leaving is the biggest cause of her running away.
* 'Blight Elves' are first seen; though their activity is unknown.

As the three gossip about Death being a Woman, their similarity to the 3 Witches in Macbeth, Boy gossip and pop culture, a strange large black creature from the lake attacks the women, killing 2 of the 3. Later on, it is revealed this creature was 'killed' by the 3 main characters in 1969, but the sequence confirms its survival.

## Behind the scenes

* The story takes influence from a lot of previous famous stories such as; The Notebook, Titanic, The End of the F\*\*\*ing World, The Kings of Summer, Bridge to Terabithia as well as Grease.
* The story includes 'Indigo Schroder', a member of the notorious Schroder family in BDA. Though due to the series location, it is presumed Indigo and his 'branch' of the family are not connected to the original Kansas family.
* Scintilla Love is the first series in the BDA universe to feature the 1960 and 2000 eras.
* Scintilla Love is the first series in the BDA universe to feature a multiracial main character.

Schroder Farm

Safe-zone

The **Schroder Farm** is a primary location in Season 1 of Better Days Ahead. It was founded by the Schroder family sometime in the 19th century by Alice and Eibert Schroder, who had migrated from Germany due to poverty.

## History

Alice and Eibert settled in the area know known as the Schroder Farm sometime in early-mid 19th century and bore three children; Egbert, Ansgar and Hugo. The modern Schroders who inhabit the farm are descendants of Hugo, with the descendants of Egbert and Ansgar being unknown; though it is presumed they both died before Hugo and bore no sons due to 19th-century inheritance rules. From Hugo, the Schroder family continued to thrive on the farm for the rest of the 19th century and all through the 20th century until the 2000s. Almost all Schroder member was born on the farm, until the 1960s and almost Schroder member grew up on the farm. Some of these known members include: Betty, Jet, Haron, Maximo, Jacsbeth, Lonnie, Bonny, Johnny Sr., Johnny Jr., Wendy and Rex.

In 2022, the farm alongside all of its historic neighbors agreed to forficate the farms due to the impending worldwide shuteye apocalypse. This succeeded, with every farm contributing to the defense. During the apocalypse, it was apparent that the Schroders were closest to the Mayflowers and Harveys until 2032, when they cut ties with all families.

## Apocalypse Timeline

* 2030 - Adrian's backstory.
* 2031 - Willow Schroder is born. On this day, Sydney climbs her first tree after seeing Carson do so. From this off-the-whim act, she learns how to be more care-free and rids herself of negativity - even becoming a bug fanatic.
* 2032 - the main events.

Odyssians

**Odyssians**, or also known as **Atargatis' Daughterwomen**, or more commonly as **Mermaids**, are an ancient species appearing in the Better Days Ahead Universe. Odyssians first came to life sometime in the early Classical Antiquity Era somewhere within the Aegean Sea, though they could've also been birthed in the Levantine Sea. As of the 1960s, they still exist and are active in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea.

## Regional Names

* **Odyssians** - self-applied name and a reference to Odysseus - the only human to of had successfully defeated the Mermaids. This term has found itself rooted in all worldwide mermaid activity, with the feminine and masculine terms being Odyssiana and Odyssion.
* **Atargatis' Daughterwomen** - self-applied name and a reference to Atargatis - the supposed founder of the Odyssians. Though Odyssions don't apply the name, it is seen as a power stance if used by Odyssianas. Despite this, not all Odyssianas use the name.
* **Mermaids** - name applied by humans since Classical Antiquity. Seen as an insult by Odyssians who dislike being seen as maids.

## History

Odyssians first presumably started in the early Classical Antiquity Era through Atargatis. Atargatis, after murdering her husband, had cast herself to the ocean to live a life of isolation. However, after being alone for too long, Atargatis accidentally created two children named Paco and Atlia (spin-off from Pacific and Atlantic).
Kerry

**Kerry** (b. mid 2000s) was a Caucasian-American woman and survivor of the *Better Days Ahead* universe. She was a worker at The Needles, having been enforced into harsh labor ever since her capture. However, upon an escape with her partner Odin, Kerry and Odin encounter the Schroder children, warning them to return to the farm. She was never seen again, leaving her fate unknown.

### Pre-apocalypse

Almost nothing is known about Kerry's life before the apocalypse. As she would have been a teenager throughout the outbreak, it is likely she was a high school student at the time of the outbreak. She had an older sister.

### Post-apocalypse

Kerry survived the initial apocalypse, though it is unknown how. She also survived the 10 year leap, eventually getting caught by The Needles upon entering Wichita, Kansas. Before her capture, she saw her sister be killed during an attempt in fleeing. Upon her arrival, Kerry befriended Odin, before planning their escape. It took some time and planning, but the two eventually successfully escaped. Upon their runaway, Kerry encountered the Schroder children. Initially taken aback, due to not seeing children since the initial outbreak, Kerry thought she had died. Kerry and Odin helped the children not be caught and briefly told them about the horrors of The Needles. Kerry warned them to never return and to head West, where a supposed safe city was situated. She eventually rushidely left from the children, praying that they meet again.

Upon the Schroders arrival at Penbridge, Kerry and Odin had not arrived, leaving their status' completely unknown.

## Behind the scenes

* Kerry was the first ginger character shown in the series.
* Kerry's shock of seeing the children shows a dark reality of the new world, with childhood being often not seen/forced to grow old.
* Kerry's character is a reference to a real life person, as is a recurring theme in the series.
The Harsh Winter

• presumably other locations in Europe and Asia

• 'Freezers' are produced

• Migration to Canada decreased

**The Harsh Winter**, or also known as **The Great Winter** or **The Northern Winter** was a winter event that occurred between November 2022-February 2023, with a smaller version produced during December 2023. It occurred in Canada, the United States and presumably other locations in Europe and Asia; killing survivors 'in the millions'.

## History

Following the 'shuteye apocalypse' that caused the dissolution of the Canadian and American governments by late 2022, a rumor was created by Canadians from the Territories that the undead died from the intense coldness. Following this rumor, many American and some Canadians traveled North in hopes of avoiding/slowing the virus and re-building society. Although unknown what the exact number is, more than a million American survivors moved toward Canada in October 2022 alone.

Following this huge migration, a 'harsh winter' was produced from the coldness of the North Pole. Many Canadian survivors in the Territories managed to survive this winter due to knowing and being used to its reality, however many clueless American and Canadian survivors nonetheless pursued North Canada. These survivors made camps alongside North Canada, which were eventually wiped out from the coldness. Other survivors found base at abandoned buildings or towns, eventually to also perish due to lack of food. Those who survived the first wave in November, attempted to move South only to be caught in the second wave. About a million of survivors perished in the winter, whilst only a couple thousands survived to tell the tale.

Shuteye Virus

• Worldwide panic and destruction

• "Watch your back for all walks of life" propaganda

**The Shuteye Virus** (name varies due to different language names/nicknames) was a worldwide event starting from mid 2022 and ended sometime in the 2100s; possibly 2102. More than 50% of the worldwide population had died within the first year of the virus outbreak, though this number remains unknown by the time of the 2030s and 2100s.

## History

Originating in Central Asia in the 2000s, the virus mostly remained unknown and in small cases until 2021. It was a mutation of an unknown virus that had leaped onto humans from an unidentified animal. In late 2021, the virus had reached China and other East Asian nations, eventually starting the known and established "Shuteye Apocalypse".

Originally, the virus lived among every human (except for a few unmarked immune humans) for the duration of much of the apocalypse, until about 50 years in (2070s) where the virus collectively died and leaped onto the next animal; later confirmed to be rodents. After the 2070s, the shuteye population casually decomposed to death until the 2100s; where no more remained.
Towen family

**Towen** refers to any member of the Towen family in the *Better Days Ahead Universe*. They were first seen through Buddy, Dennis and Mia "Constellation of Love" (s1.e7).

## History

The Towen family resided somewhere within Midwest United States before the outbreak. Due to this, their term for shuteyes are 'Rippers'. Before the outbreak, there were atleast 7 active members.

During the initial outbreak, the family regrouped and survived for some time together. Dennis and Mia had four collective children, all of whom died during the initial outbreak or sometime during the 10 years of the apocalypse. From their deaths, the parents eventually adopted Buddy somewhere in Kentucky after his owners had been devoured by shuteyes.

In 2031, the Towens decided to travel West upon hearing a rumor of a city-safe zone with electricity.
