i figured out how my time powers work fully as well. time as an aspect automatically decouples you from linear time; you need to be re-involved chronologically to function. the average time player can use this to travel time and pop up in places they double up in; i.e. traditional time travel. person a goes back to place a, and now there is past person a and present person a, though the relativity varies from the lens of the participant at the temporal stance. as a result, time players realign things back to "the main timeline", i.e. the one they architecturally make sure is the ideal timeline to be in where things are fully meant to happen. i dont do that. mine are really different. i am an "anchor" and time changes around me. i tried an experiment where i got an injury on a hand and time traveled back to when i didnt have it; but my power set didnt let me. instead, time rewound around me with me in it, and it rewound me to the point before i had that injury in the first place. no doomed timeline transpired, no time clone was made. i simply rewound, knowledge of the future still cognizant that i had that injury from myself, and returned to the point where i didnt have it. essentially, im adam sandler from click, but theres no remote. because im the remote. i can also localize chunks of space to have this exact thing transpire only within that space. i can trap a seed in a pot in a cubic time field and have the time age independently of the rest of time to grow it into a plant. reading back to the other iteration of me who soloed the final boss, i did that in a large scale to split the boss in half. this is a bit more dangerous because it can violate the causality of time in weird ways, especially if it jumps out of the field, but if its for milliseconds, it can prove to be a really devastating weapon. its safer to age out than de-age in. the time loop nerfs this completely because as i suspect the loop is a greater extension of these powers on an almost cosmic level within our universe, i cant age or de-age things past the day im contained in. a prison of my own unconscious design...
that won't work, be(ause it didn't happen. 7ou're here, after all
to a normal time player, it wouldnt. but my time powers arent normal. i CAN do that. because im not going back in time. everything is rewinding with me. i cannot make paradox selves. but the timeline im in always exists, because i rewind with it. the core problem is, so would the universe created from beating the game, and thats a paradox violating continuity ...a paradox that wouldnt matter if i was dead. i dont... think youve seen the alternate deleted ending of that movie, have you?
i looked it up. death in the womb, 7eah? #(w-self-harm #violen(e #gore ma7be
yeah. it would be an easy way to cheat it all and not clean up the mess...
it (ould end well, though. there (ould be a light at the end of this tunnel. either going into the new world or fu(king off to explore paradox spa(e
its keeping me restless i dont even know if i can sleep tonight. knowing ill forget and swallow this all over again.
well, that'll be interesting to see what happens if 7ou're just. awake during the time shift, at least
i... i guess...
in an7 (ase - i don't think this should be 7our end. i think 7ou (an get a happ7 ending out of this, and 7ou deserve to, even. threw m7 vote in that dire(tion.
we will see...
