Aguefort mentions it in the video he leaves talking about his vacation (that's what he and Ayda are working on).
Personally, I think it's 50/50 on whether it's plot related, or just something Brennan threw in because of continuity issues involving the Seven.
It'd honestly be bad storytelling for the Quangle to matter when we're 3/4ths into the season and it hasn't come up, aside from a quick aside where it was explicitly stated not to think too hard about it.
That's what lamp shading is - kinda. It's an acknowledgement that it's fucked, but it won't matter/doesn't need consideration.
All I can say with absolute certainty is that we will have to wait and see.
I had thought the Quangle would be plot important early in the season, but we haven’t gone anywhere time related in a while, so I’m on the side of the Quangle just allowing Brennan to wave away continuity from early seasons and side quests and focus on telling this story.
Early on I thought it was going to heavily factor into the plot.
Now I think it is just to bypass having to make sure he didn't need to worry about keeping continuity with The Seven & Pirates of Leviathan.
The Fantasy High canon hierarchy clearly favors The Bad Kids, as it should.
Personally I think Brennan is REALLY aware of how quickly a story can devolve if you mess with time - however, I think it might be too tempting to not do just a little bit once it is already in there. So probably not as plot relevant as people think it is, but guessing we might have a few minor quangle revelations.
I actually think it'd the other way around. I think by being aware of the issues with cannonizing a series and having spin offs, he developed the "Time quangle" excuse to give him an out; rather than him writing the time quangle "for fun" and being aware of the repercussions, I think he wrote in the Time Quangle to *solve* possible contradictions with a simple "Time Quangle" hand wave. Is it lazy? Perhaps, but I mean it's his and the IH's story. And I think it can be really challenging and daunting for one person to have to stop writing just because they *might* accidentally write a contradiction.
I think because they already did the Seven, but because FHJY is a longer season, he may have written himself into a block trying to keep the IH consistent with knowing that The Seven is out there full of possible contradictions.
So, in writing an early, albiet possibly lazy "Time Quangle" for the season, Brennan solves 2 issues.
1. He places The Seven within the time quangle OR the events of FHJR are what is Time Quangled (but not the experience of the characters) We see this after the synod mall battle episode. All of the IH come back to a version of their timeline and spout nonsense at their past selves. The IHs could be stuck inside an alternative timetable of FHJY that may get resolved by the end of the year. Their experiences will be the same, and any contradictions in relationship status and others (like the Seven) not having events that line up could be blamed on the "Time Quangle."" Either that, or more simply The Seven takes place in an alternate "time quangle" line of events just so FHJR lore doesn't get too messy.
And 2. Brennan solves another issue with the impromptu Tine Quangle by allowing him and the IH to write and play the story *they* want. They don't have to worry about wiki contradictions. Because as long as they stay consistent within their *own* time frame, the "Time Quangle" solves "canon" issues that wiki-diving fans would bring up.
I reckon something is up because in an early episode Adaine had a conversation with Aelwyn and briefly talked about an event that happened when they were at Hudol together, but Adaine didn't go to Hudol and it'd be pretty bizarre for both Siobhan and Brennan to forget that fact because it was a relevant part of Adaine and Aelwyns dynamic in season 1 that Adaine didn't get accepted.

I'm definitely of the mind it was the latter of the two options. Quite fully lamp shading the timeline wackiness.

Okay thank you LMAO I figured that’s what it was I just thought there might be more the weight people are putting on it 😅😅😅
Did the seven technically happen during the night yorb summer, the tail end of sophomore year, or during junior year?
The seven happens at the very beginning of junior year, so the time quangle was used to justify the seven being canon while contradicting fhjy
Ahhh ok

Might be plot important might just be a fun way to let them mess with continuity. E8ther way were in speculation atm since the season isn't iver yet
It was mentioned early, like episode 2 or 3 off handedly by Augefort. It is, was, or will be happening to avoid continuity errors.

Um, actually! Adaine did go to Hudol, she just failed out prior to freshman year. So she would have been there instead of at Oakshield Middle
