The First Shadow's Fucked-Up Time Frame

Pulling this out of my time-loop post for reference reasons.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

We all know the TFS timeline is messy as hell and doesn't actually align with anything that's possible in filmed canon...or within its own time span, even.

For example, the attack on Mr. Newby happens both some point after October 1st, 1959 and before November 20th, 1959...but the papers for the incident report it on March 20th, 1958:

The timeline we're given also largely fabricated, as I pointed out in relation to the newspapers with dates that don't actually exist.

However, much like NINA, the sequence itself being fake doesn't mean the events didn't happen. It's just not happening in the time frame we're told it's happening in:

It's a set of real events, just portrayed on a different time scale.

The paper about the attack on Mr. Newby, dated March 20th, 1958, is released exactly 610 days, or 20 months, prior to the Creel murders on November 20th, 1959. It's not necessarily the exact dates that are important here (again, these dates are relatively unreliable), but the gap between the dates.

When put in accordance with filmed dates(i.e. setting the release of this paper exactly 610 days prior to March 22nd of 1959), the paper for the attack on Mr. Newby would have been released on July 20th, 1957. This would be in line with Edward Creel's move to Hawkins in the spring of 1957.

This July date is especially funny to me considering we get "throwaway" lines like this...with shots in filmed canon from summer-time:

Top: Joyce and Jim beginning their investigation into the attic attack. Hopper Sr. is questioning why Joyce and Jim are investigating, rather than attending school. Bottom: Alice and Henry with the rabbit death scenes in filmed canon, the setting showing full foliage and both children in summer clothing. "Is it summer break?" I don't know. You tell me, Chief.

Per TFS, Henry went missing in a cave system near his home town of Rachel, Nevada (didn't exist until the 70s, but we're looking past that for now) at some point in the year prior to the attack on Mr. Newby. We've been told that Dimension X was involved in this event in Nevada, something happened there that left "Henry" altered physically. He was also flayed at some point around this time.

This all coincides with Henry's dramatic mood shift from a "normal and good" boy to one suffering from Mindflayer-induced psychosis. This change happened in tandem with the Nevada incident, dating back 10 months prior to the attack on Mr. Newby:

If we set Henry's initial disappearance in line with filmed canon like before, it becomes September of 1956.

New additions:

If we apply the 610 day rule to Henry's "first day of school", then Oct. 1st, 1959, becomes Jan. 29th, 1958, which is over a year before the Creel murders on March 22nd, 1959, but well after the attic attack on July 20th, 1957. So that's a no-go.

However, if we sequester that pattern to the newspapers and instead apply the "Henry moved to Hawkins 8 months after his disappearance" (See: Moving in Oct. 1 and being taken in by the lab Nov. 20th/Dec. 2nd making exactly 2 months, give-or-take), we get a move-in date somewhere in late May of 1957.

Picture me making THE single most deadpan face staring at "We'll retcon Will's birthday to May 22nd" AND all of the weirdness about the on-screen Creel family's move-in day looking like May-June.

a young royal's favorite personal guard showing up one day with a cold, insisting they're perfectly fine while their charge insists that clearly they're not. through extensive cajoling the royal finally convinces the guard to lie down in the royal's own bed, which of course is Extremely Forbidden and there would surely be Consequences if anyone found them out. the royal proceeds to fuss over their faithful guard for the entire day despite actually having approximately zero idea of how to take care of a sick person and it's all very fluffy and cute AND MAYBE THEY KISS

I don't wanna split it up, but I've been writing the FUCK out of the part 2 for the Halloween fic, and it's already super long and uh. Well, Cal still has 2 more bags of candy to go at this point and I don't wanna just have those glossed over.

So for better or for worse, this is gonna be a pretty long story. Get hype and stuff!

[cononeillbreastingboobily]

if stede calls izzy "Israel" i think i'll actually vomit blood its everything I want from them but THIS HINGES ON IZZY TELLING STEDE HIS ACTUAL FIRST NAME (or someone else referring to Izzy by his full name) and its driving me crazy that to get to that place of vulnerability with each other they first have to be vulnerable!

I'm right there with you oh lord

However!

Hear me out

Remember Ed's hangman tattoo? The one that almost spells "ISRAEL"?

What if Stede takes notice of that tattoo in particular and asks Ed about it, and that's how Stede learns Izzy's full name?

(while simultaneously realising that holy shit, those two have History)

Almost done reading The Princess Bride and I have come to the unwavering conclusion that Inigo Montoya and Fezzik, are without doubt, partners in rhyme.

[batfamfucker]

I've never wished to be part of the the Batfam more than right at this moment because I am struggling to understand any of the work for my Acting Shakespeare class and I just know literature nerd Jason would be so passionate about it he would jump to help me if I asked. I bet he has power points dedicated to each play just in case someone ever asked. He would help me get my degree. I would cry from pure relief. Save me, Jason Todd, save me.

just saw three different posts saying that Baiken is a trans man, and trans woman, and trans no elaboration, and i love that. doesn't matter how you read her, she's trans.

I love you guys but some of you really stop tagging new stuff after like a week 🙃 sorry not everyone consumes art at a breakneck pace and prefer to let it wash over us in our own time, staining our world in brilliant glass colors until they fade and you must find the next spark. not all of us need a bonfire to melt glass into windows

One of the things that gets me about the 'Vilgax possessed Kevin to build the Antitrix' theory (and it is a theory at best, the closest thing we have to evidence is his claiming Kevin was a 'vessel' with which to build it, but that can just as easily be read as 'I tossed the blueprints at you so you'd build it and it'd be ready when I got back', and the latter would make a lot more sense given if he'd possessed Kevin to get it done then why fucking let him keep a hold of it? why not hide it somewhere and then kill the kid? not like he's got some moral stance against it, and it would mean less hassle getting it back) is that this isn't something we see Vilgax do. Ever. We've seen weird shit with Vilgax and dreams in OS (and given Duncan Rouleou has stated that shit was due to being bound by fragments of Vilgax's DNA in the Omnitrix if we can already assume either that shit was expanded on or that even pre-watch there was Something going on with Kevin), but at no point are we ever given any indication that he can fucking possess people (which you'd think would have been utilized at some point before).

Like, the 'Vilgax either purposefully provided Kevin with the blueprints through a dream either so that it could be premade when he returned or accidentally provided the blueprints while for some reason fucking around in fuckers' heads and was saved face when somebody actually managed to build it by claiming it was on purpose' theory requires us to believe that Vilgax utilized a power other versions of him have already been shown to have to, on purpose or not, provide the blueprints he had already for the Antitrix to Kevin- who we see in the sequel series is a skilled mechanic and engineer and are shown during the reboot was already doing engineering as a child and regularly continued working on, fixing, and improving the Antitrix over the course of the show- who then built it.

Meanwhile the 'Vilgax possessed Kevin and built the Antitrix himself' theory requires us to believe that Vilgax pulled out a new power, off-screen, and used it the one time to not only possess an actual child with all the material access limitations that comes with but also for some reason leaves the resulting watch with the child, opening himself up to things like the risk of him breaking it and giving himself an added hassle as far as getting his hands on the damn thing when he did get back, rather than just hiding the watch somewhere safe and offing the witness.

So yeah, I'm going with the former.

Are the Leafs allergic to regulation wins? More tests are needed but it does look like they developed that particular allergy along the way this season.

(Seriously though the Sharks and the Leafs have the same amount of regulation wins. It's hilarious!)

Forever procrastinators, never gonna play a full 60 even if their lives depended on it, need to play under pressure (goal deficit pls!) but not too much pressure (playoffs what). Combination of those factors is the resulting allergy to regulation win. So yea, yes, you are correct. Allergy to reg win. Stress rash, stress ulcer, forcing self to stay awake into the AMs to do nothing but stress-- until the fans insist no no we will hang around and watch you do your little OT twirls around the ice holding the puck for a full 3min and the other team for the remainder 2min with nobody absolutely nobody even trying to score bc everyone's scared about being out there with two less friends, and we have to pwomiss we'll hang around even longer to watch them do skills challenge breakaways. And every game they forget we've proclaimed we're gonna be here till the end like the lyrics of a disney channel special and have us prove it to them time and time again "will u come watch my overtiiime?? 🥺👉👈" YES MY GOD YES even tho my eyes are drooping and the cheetos have long finished

I shouldn't be surprised that israelis are lying about rape and baby decapitation to make themselves look better. Everytime I think "there's no way they can out evil themselves" they do it. And don't get me started on the israelis in the palestine tag going "oh nooo we had to go to shelters :(" like...can you care about literally anyone other than yourself for five gddamn minutes.

He created false memories in Shadow and plotted to kill Black Doom behind his back how are you fuckers letting Gerald off scott free like this and instead pinning everything on Doom

Wait wait wait what about reblogs? and likes? Who the actual fuck enters tumblr for the first time and follows my tiny ass blog without liking anything or reblogging from anyone at all?

fun fact!! it turns out that now when u make a new blog, tumblr forces you to follow 3-4 people before you can change your icon or modify your blog in any way!! this, of course, means that, yes, some of the "potential bots" many of us have been automatically blocking could have possibly been genuine new users who were only just seconds in to having an account!!! tumblr is literally screwing new users over!!!!
