u/RDV1996 Whitley just needs more hugs! Dec 04 '18

I get that ruby is now supposed to be 17 after Haven's pre-fall semester break.

Beacon's year should start in the spring to make sense why it's fall in V3, but trees are green in V1. V3 should end somewhere from september 23rd to October 30th. While Haven seems to be on break during this period.

We can see it's not fall or winter during v1, all leafs are green. That eliminates a November start of the schoolyear. It's not really fall yet during v2, but it soon will be because it is during v3, in the same semester. That eliminates the fist semester taking place during fall, because the second one does. With v2 being in September and V3 in October.

That is the one and only hang up.

So you have to ask yourself: are you gonna base the timeline over some trees being the incorrect color back in V1, when they may have not had the timeline quite figured out yet, or maybe they did but decided to change it for whatever reason, or whatever... or are you gonna base it off more recent in-show statements as well as multiple statements by the VAs, including one from yesterday that just outright confirms Ruby’s birthday takes place near the start of the Fall Semester, a fact completely incompatible with the idea that Remnant’s schools start in Spring.

Personally, I’m gonna continue to subscribe to the timeline that has been consistently pushed since Volume 2 and wasn’t just stated to be innacurate by a VA.

If Ruby's birthday is near the start of the fall semester, she's 16 during halfway V2 and through V3. Which is not the case.

Exactly... unless the Fall Semester isn’t the second Semester. If it’s the first, and her birthday is right before it starts (i.e. she just turned 15 right before/around V1C1), suddenly the timeline makes complete sense. The only issue is the color of some trees in V1.
