Well... maybe I misspoke, because that would assume they even knew about the future to begin with.
[ she tilts her head, contemplative. ]
If you have no way of knowing what to expect, then you could see anything you do as affecting the future, couldn't you? Unless you mean to change the past in order to affect the present, in hopes of a better reality than the one you know—in other words, the future of the past.
[...you know what truly hate that he followed that.]
The last one. I'm thinking about that. Did you hear that places like this and like the space station are just memories that were already affected by the flow of nova being disturbed? Maybe the Realm is taking us there just to show us what could happen and what has happened in order to change what will happen by fixing things that already happened...?
[ i ABHOR the fact that they're vibing on this while we are crying ooc ]
Where I'm from, that sort of thing would be considered a paradox—when something that didn't originally exist in a certain time period starts to affect things there. That in turn causes history itself to start collapsing until the anomaly is resolved, thereby restoring order to the timeline. [ ... ] It sort of sounds like like what we're doing with the nova, right?
I haven't really asked our leaders about that part either. I was mostly trying to figure out what it was we were seeing. Guess I forgot that part. [but...hm.]
But you don't think it was a coincidence either to hear something like that.
this got eaten too and i only noticed when i was clearing tabs that there was a tag here im crying
I do have to wonder, though... what exactly is the Realm, anyway? If all the other places it's connected to are memories... are we just in one big memory ourselves, too?
I've wondered that. Like the Memory of all memories. If this is the center, and it's the place where all memories come from, it could explain why it reacts to us and the things we're thinking.
The Leaders don't seem to think it's sentient at all, but that doesn't make a lot of sense when it definitely has its own rules and ideas.

...that's really kind of confusing though.

Yeah...but then you have to ask if there's any way you can do all of that without the timeline collapsing. Can't we find something else to hold it up?
