so actually
exactly!! i was super excited about the guardians and didn’t even notice the conspicuous absence of dad until i realized, oh man, dad actually isn’t john’s guardian?
I mean, he’s introduced as such and the according parental-strife done with him, yet it’s nanna that ends up being the guardian?
also, if they’re all fifteen and a half, why is jane and… oh wow, grandpa harley, too, significantly older than mom and bro?
and so, the point being raised: if john and jade have an extra generation than dave and rose, and whether their partners are going to have significance? also, most people assume jane’s dad is john, yet in jake’s letter to john he calls jade his grandmother.
i would try to offer some ideas, but all i have is
???? ??? ?? ?
THIS IS PROBABLY KIND OF WEIRD AND SORT OF RANDOM COMING FROM A STRANGER but I have been having a lot of Guardian feelings today, so I want to talk about this:
it is not weird at all for a stranger to reply to this! actually, since i don’t really know anyone on tumblr yet, my suggestion to “DISCUSS” was in fact aimed solely at strangers, lol.
but yeah. with jade being heavily implied to be jake’s grandmother, i feel like it would be reasonable to say that so far, the time of impacts for each character’s meteor has been parallel to that of the characters in the original universe. but then again jade is only one of the four kids, and there’s no rule that states that all of them must be parallel. it’s still difficult to say that what jane has said about her father has in any way implied that her dad is not john. confusing!
i think purely because of jade’s [implied] character role, i’m leaning toward the assumption that john is jane’s grandfather. who knows, though! i still may end up having to redo the drawing i just posted, lol. OTL
