im not concerned with specific dates irt legacy day, as eah doesnt rly go into that much detail. imo if i was writing it id write it as being more of an october thing because of how packed sept is, but it doesnt rly matter : o we cant know when eah starts school specifically, so all thats important is that thronecoming and legacy day (the specials) cannot happen in the same year, due to homecoming being a sept/october event. the goal isnt to get specific dates but just to work out what is happening, relatively speaking.

i dont think masks = halloween, my primary school prom featured masks and wasnt anywhere close to hallowen. its a common motif for balls and parties and it definitely feels royal and ornate, so i dont think it proves anything. however i think the fact it has to take place in sept/oct explains why we never got something about halloween. i dont think this was eahs replacement, just that it would have been hard to release something halloween themed during halloween with all this going on.

irt term starting: i dont mind if it doesnt work into the timeline i have because the timeline i have may be entirely wrong. the point is to work out whats right, not develop a hypothesis and force things to fit. knowing some american schools pick subjects/classes at the start of the second term is rly helpful.

following that, chapter 2 still doesnt make sense linearly even with the consideration of classes being picked in jan/feb, so i stand by true hearts day being released when it was Because Valentines, meaning that class confusion could absolutely come before it.

it doesnt change anything because thronecoming becomes afterwards and is a set date - anything that happens in between (whether its start of y2t2 or y3t1) is sort of not important. like i said, after chapter 1, i rly think the key to timelining are the specials, not the webisodes. class confusion could straight up not exist and it wouldnt change anything. (that being said, i still want to plot it, so knowing this info is helpful :') )

even if it did change everything, before rewatching thronecoming and realising it rly did have to come after true hearts day, i was working with the hypothesis that it should have been at the end of chapter 2 and that everything else would slot in before - this wasnt the case.

what im saying is that my goal isnt to develop an idea and force things to fit, but to work with what eah has and try think about what is logical, considering what it parallels and what we know to be set confirmed events with dates. im very open to wiping everything and starting again, so absolutely will consider this!
