the thing is ‘the girl who fell through the world’ took place 20-30 years ago, ever after time, to judge by jaune’s appearance. it’s really not implausible for a beloved children’s story to have been written just 20-30 years ago in a setting with fantasy internet, and as we’ve seen the ever after has a proper day/night cycle, it’s entirely possible for time in the ever after to run on the same clock as time in remnant—because if this whole volume takes place in the course of just one or two days in the ever after, the V10 time skip issue just isn’t an issue in the first place. so ‘the girl who fell through the world’ is approximately in the neighborhood of 20-30 years old.
ozpin published an anthology of fairytales several years after becoming the headmaster of beacon academy. it’s not exactly clear how long ago that was, but ozpin had already been the headmaster for a while when team strq attended beacon circa 20-25 years ago. he was also the youngest headmaster ever appointed to the position when he got the job, so i don’t think a timeframe of 30-35is years is out of the question for when ozpin became the headmaster. thus, the publication of ‘fairytales of remnant’ and ‘the girl who fell through the world’ theoretically, approximately coincide.
one of the stories in FOR is the grimm child, which in ozpin’s rendition is about a girl named poppy who picks on her brother, oak, and dares him to enter the woods against their parents’ strict instruction. he gets possessed by a chill, which decimates their village and comes for poppy last of all; poppy discovers the carnage and then faces her own reflection as she realizes that she has inadvertently murdered her own brother and massacred her home. ozpin gives her salem’s face, and notes in the commentary that that detail is nontraditional.
the parallel to draw between poppy and oak as characterized by ozpin and alyx and lewis as characterized by jaune is self-evident; jaune is literally convinced that alyx is a homicidal brat who killed her brother to get home. (but note how every character has had a different idea of what alyx did wrong, and how those ideas all reveal something about the character who expresses them; alyx, like salem, is a mirror.)
there is a second novel, entitled ‘the boy who fell from the sky,’ mentioned in the CFVY books which we know nothing about, although the connection to lewis again seems quite obvious. (there are also two alice books: alice’s adventures in wonderland, and through the looking glass—and the latter takes place in a setting that is both the same and not the same as that of the former.) which is to say, it’s not implausible that ‘the boy who fell from the sky’ might be a companion story to ‘the girl who fell through the world’ that is, sort of similarly to through the looking glass, just different enough in how it describes the other world that it isn’t widely recognized as such. [if alyx and lewis were real people, “both of them made it home and both of them wrote a story, but lewis was way more subtle” is a plausible scenario]
but that harmony with the grimm child. Compels me. doylistically, grimm child has been treated like it’s important—it’s one of the handful that got animated. but it’s also clearly not a literal historical event and it’s explicit (to the real audience) that ozpin included it as anti-salem propaganda, to warn people to be wary of her face.
we don’t know how alyx or lewis fell into the ever after. (we do know the staff of creation was involved for rwbyjn, and alyx and lewis wouldn’t have had access to that.) we also don’t know how or even if they really left, but we do know that the cat doesn’t know either, even though the cat was there. so there’s this fuzziness on both ends of the story where the connection to remnant ought to be. the only pieces of the story we know are the ones that happened in the ever after (and even there, we have huge chunks missing and two extremely unreliable narrators).
much to think about.
who wrote the story? why did they write the story? and why now?

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.
i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.
anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.
#[isabeau voice] am i insane or does sometimes loop talk like they might have killed their whole family. is that just me? just checking.#nille design highly inspired by @kiwibrain's since its the one that imprinted in my mind. liberties taken since i didnt look @ reference#anyway i have a lot more thoughts on this? i guess ill hide them in the tags...? scroll down i suppose.#isat#in stars and time#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#isat act 6 spoilers#isat loop#isat siffrin#isat bonnie#isat nille#isat fanart#in stars and time fanart#doodlebyte#----------------------------------------------------------------------#anyway the extra thoughts. are literally just my general thoughts on postcanon. (and thus are the context for all of my postcanon doodles!)#which is i think nille joins the party before loop reappears for a start (either from a period of nonexistence or just wandering around)#and that like. i think the party should be able to integrate loop as a completely new person. because they are! the secrecy isn't great but#They and Siffrin shuffle into different ecological niches in the party (eg. i think sif is more squeamish after it all but loop isnt)#and while it's not *exactly* what Loop wanted they get that beggars can't be choosers. and its pretty good#(i am glossing over how i think loop's reappearence drags both them and siffrin into a massive behavioural backslide and is likely a bit#distressing to watch go down. cycle of argument -> lovebombing -> normalcy -> repeat. etc etc. but since they are no longer literally#stewing in the worst pressure cooker of all time they do resolve it via productive conversation on their own time. its fine)#the party well-meaningly tries to deduce things from loop's vagueries and are able to pin down the DEAD FAMILY vibe pretty quickly.#but eventually the question of their prior identity falls by the wayside because well! they're just their friend loop! (also change belief)#as for how The Truth Come Out... this is what i mean by The Isabeau Torment Nexus(tm). which is that i think... isiloop should almost occur#BEFORE isabeau knows who loop is. he's just genuinely charmed by them eventually and tries to close the open end of the polycule#which FREAKS LOOP THE FUCK OUT because thats just too genuinely sick and wrong. and obviously w emotions high its not a great confrontation#ANYWAY told u i had more thoughts. if i were normal itd be a text post but.

Ok well i had the brief thought “what about an ER nurse Eddie au?” and then this popped fully formed into existence so fuck it Friday pt 2.. warnings for smoking and vague references to critically injured kids
“That doesn’t seem very healthy.”
Smoke curls up from the cigarette held loosely in Eddie’s hand. “It’s not, particularly.”
Buck’s hands are in his pockets as he strolls away from the glass doors out into the ambulance bay where Eddie is doing the mature, professional equivalent of playing hide and seek. He comes to a stop barely a foot or two away from where Eddie leans against grimy concrete. “Didn’t know you were a smoker.”
“I’m not,” Eddie sighs, “Particularly.” He looks over Buck’s face as he takes a drag, cataloging bruises and cuts. He hadn’t been the one to look him over before he was discharged, probably because he was out here avoiding having to do so. “Only when it’s- only after the bad shifts.” And only once a month, even if the bad shifts come again and again. He bought this pack in January, it’s stale as shit.
Buck’s eyes follow the smoke as it drifts skyward. “Rough one today?”
Eddie thinks he probably doesn’t have to explain to Buck that it’s sometimes better when a kid is dead on arrival so he doesn’t have to try his best to administer care he knows will be useless. He doesn’t have to explain a day where nothing goes right and he loses more people than he can save and he still has to walk away from someone’s parent or wife or sister, left behind forever in a waiting room on the worst day of their life, and go on to lose the next person too. Doesn’t have to explain why he’s out here, and not in there. “Mm. We’ve got this repeat customer, always hate to have him back.”
Buck’s eyes flick to his face before they settle somewhere around his elbow. “Yeah?”
“Yeah. He seems like a nice guy. I worry about him. He’s here too often.”
Buck doesn’t look up. “What was he in for this time?”
“Minor concussion. Bruising. Lacerations.” Eddie sucks cancer into his lungs. “Heard a house fell on him.” Exhales it into the night.
Buck does look up this time, eyes a darker blue out here in the shadows. “Part of a house. Just a staircase and the- like, the balcony, really.”
“Maybe he should stay away from those.”
“From houses?” Buck asks, half his mouth twitching into a smile.
Eddie rests his head on the wall behind him. “Guess that’s not really practical.”
“No.” Buck is quiet for a moment, one hand slipping out of his pocket and running through his hair. Eddie wonders what he looks like, when he’s not here. He’s more styled, sometimes, when things aren’t very bad. He wonders if he’s usually all gelled up and neat. Eddie kind of likes the loose curls. “I’m sorry.”
“For what?”
“Making your day worse.” Buck looks genuinely apologetic, and Eddie shakes his head.
“The guy made it out okay this time.” Buck is just close enough that Eddie can kick at his boot with his sensible orthopedic sneaker. “You didn’t even need stitches.”
“That’s good.” Eddie’s left foot is pressed along the inside of Buck’s right, and Buck is staring down at them. “His favorite nurse was on break. I would have missed you if someone else had to do them.”
Eddie laughs, just a few bursts of soundless oxygen. “You gotta find new ways to see me before something happens that I can’t fix.”
Buck moves, taking the few steps necessary to lean against the wall beside him. Carefully, he takes the cigarette from Eddie’s hand, holds it between two of his own fingers, and takes a drag. Eddie watches it happen like he’s monitoring somebody’s pulse ox, and when Buck coughs he laughs again, louder this time. “Fuck,” Buck says, laughing too. “Thought that would be cooler than it was.”
“Smoking isn’t cool, firefighter Buckley,” Eddie says, taking the cigarette back and pulling from it again between smiling lips.
“Hm,” Buck says, grinning out into the night. Then he sighs, and rolls his head along the concrete to look at Eddie. “I think there’s nothing you can’t fix.”
They’re very close. “There’s lots I can’t fix.”
Buck shrugs like he disagrees. “I also think I’d like to find other ways to see you.”
Buck’s eyes are even more in shadow at this angle, and they’re the color of the lake back in El Paso that he and a bunch of kids went to after graduation, drunk off beer somebody’s cousin got for them, skinny dipping with breathless terrified delight under bright constellations. “Then ask me.”
Buck inhales as Eddie exhales. “What time’s your shift end?”
“5:30 AM. So, probably 6:15.”
Buck traces the two fingers he’d used to hold the cigarette down Eddie’s arm. “You wanna get breakfast with me?”
“Yes. I would.”
Buck smiles, and Eddie snubs out the cigarette on the wall between them. “I’ll meet you here?”
“Alright.” He takes a step forward, then a step to the right so he’s standing in front of Buck. “Two hours.”
“Uh huh.”
He should really get back inside. They’re understaffed, as always, and there are too many patients, as always, and not enough beds, as always. “See you then.” He doesn’t make any move to leave.
“See you then,” Buck almost whispers. He leans forward, and Eddie still doesn’t move, so he presses a tiny kiss to the corner of his mouth for just a moment. His lips are warm. Eddie hadn’t noticed it was cold outside.
Buck pulls back and leans against the wall again. Eddie smiles, puts a hand in his pocket, and walks back toward the doors.

Night Raven College: A (Loose) Year's Timeline
I got frustrated that I couldn't find a timeline of events for Disney Twisted Wonderland, to help me figure out which "yearly" events happened when and at what time of year each Story happened during.
So, like the Madwoman I am, I tried to make one of my own.
Just so you know, this is based on when they happen in a single year and not which years they happen at the school (since, despite game logic, I refuse to believe that insanity happens in a single year), as well as the rough estimate of when each overblot happened based on context clues and irl events they match and when the game holds them. (please note, this doesn’t include the Japan-exclusive events)
Since NRC is 4 year school, I would assume that some events wouldn’t be yearly or happen in the same year. This is just a general “yearly calendar” timeline. So specific one-time events aren't really included (like the Tsumtsum or the Apprentice Chef ones), nor are the ones that don't have stories. And since the school is based on the Western school year, it starts in the fall and not spring!
I hope my crazy is useful to someone!

If I've missed an event or you can think of a "normal" school event that should have been included but isn't, let me know and I'll add it to the list!
This is meant to be a loose timeline for what would be put on a calendar (or a fanfic writer would want included) so it doesn't include EVER SINGLE event that's been held.
Anyway, have fun with these folks!
3/13/24 Edit: I fixed a few things! Vil's and Idia's overblots happened in February along with Beanfest, it's a shockingly busy month apparently. If there are any other inconsistencies, please let me know so I can fix them!
(knowing how things progressed in the story, I'm starting to wonder if Malleus' Overblot was in March... God an overblot a month is insane XD )

Remember: painting is just drawing and drawing is 80% observation. You can't paint accurate representations if you don't look.

Not only is it entirely unprofessional to solicit the Sixth chairman with such things, this is not the intended use of the suggestion box. Further, it should be noted that these letters will not be delivered directly to the Sixth Chairman until they are thoroughly reviewed. Any inappropriate letters will be separated from the others and held in case of repeat infractions. If there is frequency enough to justify it, they will be DNA tested in order to put a stop to this behavior. Your anonymity is a privilege, not a guarantee, and it is a privilege I am willing to revoke.

I am unaware of this "Tojo therapy service" nor the Chairman's plans for it. I will have to speak with him. In the future, please suggest things to the Sixth Chairman through the suggestion box, or at a clan meeting.
Either way, I am not in need of such services.
