Oh thanks a lot, Blitz!Blitz wrote:I thought only men were supposed to shift the blame... No wait Eve also did. It is Adam's fault. Had he given a hand, we never would have fallen.
So? Blitz started it!!! (something you can't blame on Eve this time!) Maybe the grenade just kinda slipped out of my hand...maybe....Ameraka wrote:Helios-- you did throw an incendiary grenade.

It's been a few months since I wrote that, so I gave myself some leeway regarding years and the exact dates when Odyssey starts and ends. Under this headcanon, I figure that "A Class Reenactment" is set in Trent, Marvin, and Mandy's eighth grade year at Odyssey Middle School, and probably towards the end, in about April or May of 2002 (still in the school year because Marvin shows them a copy of the Odyssey Owl, the OMS newspaper, and it's got the school superlatives in it; that kind of thing is, in many places, announced toward the end of the school year). This was a decision of mine that was also partially arbitrary, because I'm that weird nerd that writes AIO fanfiction solely for the second generation of Odyssey kids and I need some landmark years to keep a timetable. Because of weird gut-feelings that have nothing to do with fact and everything to do with my personal perception of the time that has passed in-show, I think about a year to a year and a half has passed in-universe, making it around 2003.Tiger's Long and Ranty Post wrote:My brother and I actually had a discussion about this recently, and we've come to the conclusion that at most, eight to ten years have passed in-show, and they began in the early nineties. Consider the setting issues: Blackgaard's Castle is a popular hang-out because it's an arcade, not to mention the arcade in "The Prodigal Jimmy", and both of these places are very late-eighties/early-nineties. There's also the Dungeons & Dragons craze that fed into "Castles and Cauldrons, Parts 1 and 2", and that particular controversy also reached its peak in the late 80s and early 90s. Add to that the fact that child characters have an approximately four-year run spanning from about fifth grade to eighth grade (if they are shown attending Odyssey Elementary at all; most middle schools, and for the purposes of discussion we'll assume Odyssey Middle School, have three grade levels—sixth, seventh, and eighth), and the fact that two generations of Odyssey kids have gone through the system with another generation currently in the middle of it, and you get about eight to ten years, depending on your personal guess, meaning that at the latest, the show is set in approximately 2001.
Technology, such as the advancement of computers and the AppleBerry Smartphone that Emily and Matthew find in the GRC, doesn't really factor in, because when you have someone like Whit, who has advanced virtual reality technology beyond even much of what we've developed today, over twenty years after "The Imagination Station, Part 1" aired, you can have some technological leeway, in my opinion.
IDK i've had a lot of thoughts. Conson. JaCon (sounds like bacon if you say it fast XD)Ameraka wrote:Yay thetardisrocks! It is good to find there's other Jasonnie shippers out there! Welcome!
(Btw, should that be the ship name? Rather than just J+C or Connie+Jason--)
