I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation again!
Maybe we don't take into account that: in "Nancy Templeton in to Catch a Thief" midsummer witches celebrate?
It's just that I can't find any "real" witch calendar.
Maybe there is some kind of calendar, not necessarily focused on the traditionally 22nd - 23rd of June in northern Europe?
Some sources claim that: midsummer was celebrated from June 19-26.
It's just that there is information that this holiday used to always fall on Saturday. And it could have been from the 19th to the 26th.

Hey, you are not interrupting any conversation, i like to discuss stuff, so i'm happy about anyone participating!

Regarding your question: As far as i know (simply from Wikipedia and what i came across so far about the date) Midsummer allways had some ritualistic significance, but i am unaware of any specific "Witch" connection. Only thing i found is that in Denmark "Bonfires are lit in order to repel witches and other evil spirits, with the burnings sending the "witch" away to Bloksbjerg, the Brocken mountain in the Harz region of Germany where the great witch gathering was thought to be held on this day."
That information is a little bit weird, since the Bloksbjerg/Broken and Witches gathering there at one specific night is called Walpurgis Night and is the night from April 30th to May 1st. Not in June during Midsummer.

However: Even if the comics would take place not on Midsummer itself but in the week(s) surrounding it, the dates wouldn't make sense.
TTLG is on June 23rd. One month later (late July, early August) NTDO takes place where Trixie first discoveres the evidence she tries to blackmail Evie with in TCAT during the Midsummer Night's Ball. Even if Trixie immediately (like in that very moment) gathered all the informations she had in TCAT/TBAT, it would still be at least early August since in the prologue of TBAT she has the information gathered and that takes place one week before that.

So TTLG June 23rd + 1 month from NTDO = July 23rd + 1 week from TBAT prologue = July 30th.

And i highly doubt that.

Hello!
Hasn't Nancy been afraid/excited about leaving the class to Day Off?
When semester starts?
I think there is small glitch in the timeline (Author's fault). Or no?

There is also the issue that FV1 starts around 3/4 weeks before TCAT, so the whole FV either clashes with TTLG and NTDO or again, the ball is pushed way out of date.

Evie says this in FV6 tho:

So, "the hole Summer" and the name itself of the ball makes me thing that it purposefully out of date.

Regardless, I'm good with either option. 1 year gap or no gap, as we currently know they are both wrong hahaha

Nope, there i have to disagree.

One can think of that, but it later becomes clear, that Carmilla originally never intended to be at the ball in the first place:

P1.png FV Ch. 7, page 23.

Also, this quote makes the timeline between FV1 and TBAT very specific, since there are comments about when the different chapters take place in relation to each other:
FV1 Evening of Day 1 (later clear it must be Thursday)
FV 2 Next Morning, Day 2 (therefore Friday)
FV 3 The Night between Day 2 and Day 3, in the morning Violet leaves with Country Girl
Meanwhile in Violets Dungen, it says it's Saturday early Morning
FV 4 Same Day at Noon (Saturday)
FV 5 Same Day Evening (Saturday)
FV 6 Two Weeks later
FV 7 Same Day, Night, in the end the quote from Carmilla above appears, so TCAT is one week later, TBAT one day after that.
FV 8 Same Night.

So the timeline in my head is, that Carmilla just recently left and its the end of May or 1st or 2nd of June. Then roughly three weeks later, on June 21st there is the Midsummer Night's Ball, where Carmilla came back early from her trip, because she saw what Evie was doing with Frederick.

Probably he though about dividing them into smaller elements which will better fit at screen. At the moment one has to move them back and forth to read.

That's why i'm a bit irritated. Because i have allready did that and posted four single pages. Don't think it's doing any good to cut it in any smaller pieces.

Hello! Does Nancy say that the semester is starting in NTDO? I think Trixie just mentions that they have enough attendance points for the rest of the semester, but not that the semester is starting. I am speaking from memory tho.

Regardless, NTDO 100% happens 1 months after TTLG so, yeah, they are having classes on July/August. I also found that weird when making the first timeline hahaha

Thank you.
BTW. I can imagine following dialogue:
Do you have any correlations to so called "Russian Hackers"?
Нет, почему?
