Does art make a difference?

Aw, sure. Of course there are degrees of extremity to the potential change that art can effect, depending on how many people are able to engage with it. The Beatles made a huge difference in the world. But Henry Darger, Jeff McKissack, Karen Dalton, Pauline Oliveros, Kenneth Patchen – there are so many folks who have made great art and not gotten massively famous for it, yet I think there are all sorts of ways their work informs and shapes other people’s work, and brains, and decisions.

Should politics and art mix?

Well, everything mixes, the New Statesman! That’s like asking if a knee-reflex hammer and a quadriceps tendon should “mix”.

Is your work for the many or for the few?

That’s for the many/few to say. I just crank out the hot jams.

If you were world leader, what would be your first law?

Gravity. I feel like we need to tighten up the constitutional protections that particular law enjoys. It’s a ticking time bomb, if you ask me.

Who would be your top advisers?

Cute angel on one shoulder, cute devil on the other.

What, if anything, would you censor?

Maybe we could all agree to not bust each other’s chops all cut-dang day.

If you had to banish one public figure, who would it be?

Don’t know, banishment might be a little extreme, but I’d sure like to take that Stephen Hawking dude down a notch or two. Right? Are you with me?

What are the rules that you live by?

Basically, “bros before hos”. I feel like if you stay true to that, everything else just kind of falls into place.

Do you love your country?

Buuuut, the ol’ U S of A can pull some pretty dick moves. I’m hoping it’ll all come out in the wash...

Are we all doomed?

If we keep our expectations pretty low I think we might be fine. I mean, we’re definitely all dying at some point. There’s no getting around that. But between now and then, things might start looking up!

Three episodes in and season 4 is definitely eleventh grade, Cory’s already said that. I read on Reddit that season 5 is the ‘senior year’ season.

I get my years from Girl Meets World—Joshua is born on Valentine’s Day 1998. The kids are in their first year of college. I can work backwards from there.

Sixth — 1990-1991

Seventh — 1991-1992

Eighth — 1992-1993

Ninth — 1993-1994

Tenth — 1994-1995

Eleventh — 1995-1996

Twelfth — 1996-1997

College 1 — 1997-1998

Eleventh grade is Eric’s gap year. That means tenth is his senior year, so ninth was his junior year, so eighth was his sophomore year, so seventh was freshman year, so sixth was his eighth—but sixth was his sophomore year.

My math was off before. I had two solutions: Eric being held back, and making sixth grade his freshman year instead. Now I would have to mix them. I hate everything 😔

Here is my now solution: season 1 is sixth grade; season 2 is seventh grade; season three is tenth grade; season four is eleventh.

So there’s just a huge time gap I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The end of season 2 is when Chet leaves so I guess the time skip is before then. Either that or Chet was gone for three years. Except they say multiple times he was just gone for a year.

Anyway Alan is 42 in eleventh so he was born in 1953.

Morgan is in third grade in season 3. Her school life is never mentioned before that. That’s either ninth or tenth, depending on my mood.

Hi I’m CeceNyss and I’m obsessed with timelines. Moving on-

Season 1 of boy meets world is 6th grade, and they’re eleven. This is mentioned multiple times, very explicitly. Cory turns 12 towards the end-ish. Shawn is said to be thirteen towards the end-ish too, take that for what you will, I can’t be bothered to care.

Season 2 is the next year of school, seventh grade, and their first year of high school. This is also said rather explicitly throughout the season—I’ve only watched it once, in the last like two days, but I’m fairly certain they mention it less towards the end, so. Season two could be argued to also include eighth grade, but they do bring up it having been one school year when Topanga is doing the yearbook interviews, so I can’t say.

Season 3 is where things get fuzzy. They don’t say what grade they’re in (I’m like six episodes in don’t quote me on that) BUT Shawn says “three years and I still never have any idea what he says” or something of the sort about Feeny. That is not the quote and I do not care my point is made. Now, this could be taken to mean two things—it’s the beginning of eighth grade, this is their third year with him; or it’s the beginning of ninth grade, they’ve already had three years with him.

I personally believe that eighth grade happens between season two and three. It makes the most sense to me, both with how Cory’s voice drops between seasons and with Shawn’s quote.

The biggest conflict with this is that Eric is a sophomore in season 1, a junior in season 2, and a senior in season 3. That would mean it has to just go sixth grade, seventh grade, eighth.

…buuuuuut Eric could have been held back. It’s not the most unbelievable thing in the world. It doesn’t even really rank. (His hair also changes drastically for the worse.)

Anyway I have no idea for after that I haven’t finished that episode where Topanga’s sick and girls are fawning over Cory for some reason. I’ll reblog with more when I’m further in for all my loyal fans I mean for Cal he’s the only one reading this
