Vacant Reality Ad Infinitum:

A PSA regarding the dangers of reality jumping and multiversal travel

In this essay: I'm not gonna tell you not to, but I will tell you why leaving your reality of origin would be an excessively bad idea, and why you should seriously weigh your options before committing to an irreversible decision. I will also give guidance on how you can mitigate the dangers of this journey, should I be unable to convince you to stay home.

Introduction:

So, you've noticed that you are, in fact, not alone in this reality. There's a whole sea of worlds out there where anything and everything has already or will soon happen. You probably have good reason to shed this mortal coil and play in the big sandbox of the gods, and what's more, you have found a proverbial bus out of town that can make your wildest dreams possible.

This, of course, I believe to be a bad idea. But I know that's not a very compelling argument, so allow me to elaborate.

Subject 1: Equivalent Exchange and Higher Beings

You are most likely a being comprised of some mixture of meat, elements, and life force. These elements are necessary to the continued function of your reality. Removing said elements in any quantity will unfailingly lead to the slow and painful death of every renewal and repair cycle your reality has in place. Are you leaving your reality because it is already dying? It probably just needs a pinch of salt and one or two human equivalent souls.

This is the easiest problem on the list to fix. Just grab a copy of yourself from the reality you are jumping to and send them back to yours. This is just a matter of ensuring nothing has been physically lost or gained from either realities in the exchange.

But why do you need to fix it, I hear you ask? Why not just leave the old reality behind to die, and jump to another? Well that bit earlier about "sandbox of the gods" was not a figure of speech. Whether ancient primordial forces, old gods, or simply other reality jumpers, those who have confirmed themselves to a single or multiple realities have a vested interest in keeping said realities healthy. Also, if you are reading this, I can guarantee they are more powerful than you, and importantly, more experienced. They will find you, and you will be neutralized. Exact methods will vary, but you do NOT want to be neutralized.

Subject 2: Personal Relationships

You no longer see people as individuals, but as whole species of the same person. That's not your friend. That's a version of someone who was your friend. You will see your loved ones hate and kill each other, assuming they don't get to you first. People are now little more than machines for your use. You know all of them by name and you will have no idea who they are. Accomplishments by you and yours mean nothing because those accomplishments have been made infinitely by infinite people for infinite reasons. Trivial nonsense made for war, crimes against humanity made for fun, nothing means anything in the infinite reality. Even surrounded by loved ones, you will not see them. Only the infinite faces they have worn, and the infinite souls who have with them. And you, will be a god to them. A cryptid entity that knows more than they could ever forget. A thing.

Subject 3: Let's go Gambling!

Probabilities do not exist when reality jumping. When the possibilities are endless, so too are the odds. You will never accomplish exactly what you set out to do. Previously infanitesimal chances of failure are now guaranteed. Nothing is too hard to find because it has happened an infinite number of times, but so has literally everything else. You will succeed at everything you wanted to accomplish on your journey, but you will die tired, scared, and alone. Because there is a chance it could happen, it will.

Subject 4: YOU Will Not Return HOME

No being has endured the ravages of infinity. It's just not mathematically possible. You will crave the comfort of home and it will not return to you. Every jumper who I have personally met is currently trying to destroy a single target. Trying to reach a single warm embrace. Trying to just set things back to the way they were. An infinite number of stranded astronauts. And many of them were you. And you just want to go home.

When you find 'home', it will be wrong. An imperfect copy so close to the original you can not find it's flaws. But you will feel them. Even if you could find your exact point of origin, YOU will not return. Only something wearing your skin. Something that knows the Vacant Reality Ad Infinitum and cannot return to how things were. Something that knows everything. Something that knows how everything will end. A Thing that has seen everything end.

I N F I N I T E L Y

In Conclusion:

Please don't. Use your newfound power to make this reality what you want it to be. Break the rules that cause grief. Make new rules to ensure your goals. You have the power to change reality itself, so don't just replace it with another. You will find resistance, and it will be difficult. But, there is a chance. A small chance. A chance so infantesimaly small that .most wouldn't even consider it possible. But it is there. And very real. And it will be lost the moment you leave.

Thank you for your time-

Spending years toiling at wizard school in the notoriously elitist necromancy department, barely scraping by for several years before they begrudgingly give me my necromancer degree, all so that I can go sit on the beach and revive ediacaran fossils on the beach and look at the creatures.

Wizard Tip #24: Maybe The Real Treasure Was All The Times We Cast Fireball Along The Way

[dreamwizarding]

Living on a wizard pirate boat is way better anyway. As someone who's lived in both a tower and a pirate ship, the second one invokes my fear of heights significantly less.

Wizards!

I get it ok? You love showing each other up and you love competition. But please stop building your towers so high and worse, changing the height dynamically.

That shit sucks cause, when I'm on a 3 am munchies run to the nearest convenience store and your shitty tower suddenly grows straight into my flight path, I'm gonna hit it. It's 3 am, I'm drunk and Im flying impaired, I don't know whose tower I trashed last night but you deserve it. High tower bad. Growing tower worse.

Wizard Tip #23: The “S” In Sorcerer Stands For Smoochable

[dreamwizarding]

Had the funniest experience earlier of my swiftie coworker putting the new white girl breakup songs™️ album on the speaker at work and the moment she left the room long enough for her phone to disconnect from Bluetooth our older coworker immediately put on 10 hours of relaxing tibetan flute music instead and we all collectively sighed in relief

Big announcement :(

I'm sorry to announce but I don't think I can continue with this project, I don't have the time and I don't think it'll be up to standard, I'm sorry to everyone who is disappointed by this but thinking about doing it weighs me down and its a huge weight and the immense guilt of keeping yoy guys waiting with no answer, and I don't want to do something that I don't enjoy anymore, as it would turn out lower effort than it was always gonna look like because the software is awful.

But, if you still wanna see stuff like pixel art or little pixel Animations of wizardblr, I will, at some point, incorporate that into my account that I enjoy maintaining, @a-clown-draws,

Again, I sincerely apologise to anyone disappointed but it's best for me and it was never gonna be great or anything, maybe one day I'll re-look at a wizardblr game thing, but as of now... I am sorry.
