🛐 HEY DUMMY, IF MANY WORLDS THEORY IS EVEN HALF TRUE… YOU’VE ALREADY DIED. STUPIDLY. BRUTALLY. MORE THAN ONCE.

You ever laugh at a horror movie?

Like really laugh?

“Lmao. Couldn’t be me.”

🛑 It was you.

Not metaphorically. Not “haha spooky thought.”

No, literally you. Same heartbeat. Same survival instinct. Same body—just… unzipped differently.

🧠 LET’S REVIEW THE THEORY (FOR THE DUMMIES IN DENIAL):

Many Worlds Theory says that at every moment of uncertainty, every decision point— every coin flip, hesitation, breath, blink— reality splits.

Not symbolically. Literally. Quantum-level branching.

One “you” turns left. One “you” turns right. One “you” ignores the sound in the attic. One “you” checks it.

🩸 Guess which one bleeds.

Now imagine every movie you’ve ever watched. Every dumb bitch who ran upstairs. Every guy who said “Hello?” into the dark.

👁️ Every. Single. One.

A timeline. A branch. A version of you.

That’s what’s waiting behind your laughter.

Not fiction. Footage. Of other versions of you failing to live.

🔪 THE COLD OPEN KILL? That wasn’t some nameless extra. That was you.

Wearing different clothes. Living in a city you’ve never visited.

But same DNA. Same skin. Same panic in the throat as the knife goes in sideways and your phone hits the ground with a helpless little “thunk.”

🪦 THERE’S A BRANCH WHERE: ✔ You took the alley shortcut. ✔ You got in the Uber that wasn’t yours. ✔ You fell asleep in the backseat and woke up somewhere wrong. ✔ You said “just one more drink.”

And now there’s blood on ceramic tile, but it’s not yours anymore. Not exactly.

It was yours. Just… sideways.

📉 “BUT THAT’S NOT ME.” You say that now.

But explain this:

Why does your stomach drop when you hear creaking upstairs and you’re home alone?

Why do your dreams end in screams that don’t sound like yours?

Why do you wake up sweating at the exact moment your alternate self hit the floor?

Because you feel it.

Your body remembers what your timeline forgot.

🔭 “BUT I’M ALIVE HERE, SO I’M FINE.”

Yeah? Cool. So is the version of you currently being dissected in a wet basement while a stranger hums lullabies.

Somewhere, you are:

📦 Folded into a crawlspace 🩻 Sewn shut with fishing line 🫀 Having your organs repurposed for amateur dark magic 🪞 Crying into your own reflection as it doesn’t cry back

Still laughing?

👁️ THIS ISN’T “SCI-FI.” THIS IS YOUR FILE. Your digital twin in some alternate simulation is already a case study in cautionary failure.

In Timeline 4-A: You dropped your keys during a thunderstorm and didn’t make it back inside.

In Branch Omega: You followed the humming.

In Echo Fork 9B: You thought that wasn’t blood. You were wrong.

🧪 EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLES (ALL CONFIRMED DEAD):

🧴 The One Who Stayed in the Shower Too Long Boiler died. So did she. Third-degree timeline burns. Didn’t even scream—mouth full of scald.

🔦 The One Who Investigated the Basement Heard a noise. Grabbed a flashlight. Never made it back up. Now provides ambiance for the next idiot.

🚬 The One Who Took a Smoke Break Outside. Late shift. Van door slid open behind her. She didn’t even get the lighter lit.

👂 The One Who Opened the Door When It Knocked Twice Because you were taught that three knocks = horror movie. So two should be fine, right?

Right?

��� LISTEN: YOU’VE BEEN WHISPERED TO.

Those strange urges to check behind you?

That sudden flash of dread when the light flickers at the grocery store?

The freeze response when the phone rings at 3:17AM and the screen says “NO CALLER ID”?

That’s not anxiety. That’s cross-branch static.

You’re not reacting to something here. You’re echoing the death rattle of you elsewhere.

🎬 IN ONE TIMELINE: You're a final girl. Barely alive. Covered in blood. Shaking. Crying. Walking away from a burning house.

In another?

You never made it to the title card.

In another?

You're the killer. And the screams sound like your mother’s voice.

🩸 THERE’S A UNIVERSE WHERE YOU NEVER CAME BACK.

They never found the body. Only the voicemail. And the sock soaked in something that wasn’t water.

They thought it was a prank.

They thought you ran away.

You didn’t. You just got misfiled by reality.

Another timeline took you, and left nothing but the echo of where you used to be.

🧠 YOUR BODY KNOWS.

That moment you hit the brakes even though nothing was in front of you?

That dream where someone you love dies in a very specific way?

That rush of nausea in the middle of a normal day?

You’re remembering. You’re bleeding through. You’re witnessing your own past death, in a reality your nervous system hasn’t deleted yet.

You’re not psychic.

You’re archived.

⚖️ MANY WORLDS ISN’T A THEORY. IT’S A BODY COUNT REPORT.

Somewhere:

✔ You choked on gum. ✔ You stepped on a wasp and swelled shut. ✔ You got hit by a drunk driver on a Tuesday. ✔ You bled out in a Best Buy parking lot because no one saw you collapse.

📼 DO YOU GET IT YET?

This isn’t some neat sci-fi concept. This is a graveyard full of your own names, written differently in a thousand timelines.

You died scared. You died embarrassed. You died making dumbass decisions with full confidence.

Just like the characters you laugh at.

💣 TL;DR

If Many Worlds Theory is true, you are:

💀 Already dead. 🔪 Already dissected. 👻 Already mourned. 📉 Already forgotten.

Somewhere.

Not once.

Thousands of times.

Each death…

✔️ Real. ✔️ Detailed. ✔️ Felt.

Even if you can’t remember the scream, your bones do.

📜 CALL TO ACTION:

🔁 Reblog if you want to remind the world how thin the veil really is. 🧠 Save this post for the night your dog growls at the wall for no reason. 🛸 Send it to your friend who always says “that’s just superstition.” 💀 Bookmark it for the dream where you wake up screaming someone else's name.

⚖️ LEGAL DISCLAIMER (SATIRE — BUT NOT REALLY): This post is a fictional performance. But the theory is real. And physics doesn’t give a shit about your comfort zone.

If you feel uneasy: That’s you— the other you— screaming from somewhere that didn’t end as well.

A charming pixelated town with a terribly dark secret….. we’ve officially announce Grave Seasons, our upcoming murder mystery farming simulator this weekend at Summer Games Fest.

AND, we’re collaborating with Blumhouse Games to bring out game to life.

I’ve never been more proud to be the Narrative Director of Perfect Garbage.

I feel like the biggest difference between Kim Dokja and Han Yoojin is that while Dokja has for the most part carefully constructed his freak persona as a way to protect his vulnerabilities and trick his companions into believing he has his shit together, Yoojin just naturally is the freakiest little menace the world has ever seen

hey does anybody remember that analog horror series that everyone hated? “the painter” or something like that? i wonder what all the normal people in that universe were doing on tumblr while that shit happened

diversity win! the serial killer that murdered and sexually assaulted at least a hundred people and then painted their mutilated corpses as a fucked up fetishistic form of art is a woman!

💿 helenoftsoi Follow

okay how the fuck did no one ever catch the painter(s) before their killcount reached the double digits. dude literally stabbed a woman in the taint 27 times and left her to drown in her own blood. one of the victims was literally on the phone with 911 while she was killed. how. the FUCK

if the painter tried to kill me i would simply not tell them my name. what’re they gonna do? leave the painting title blank and not do any fun wordplay with it? nah. they’d have to keep me alive to torture it out of me. 

🔥 shaysrebelli0n Follow

they’d probably try her damn best to make your corpse absolutely unidentifiable and then call you “Andy” The Anonymous or some shit just to spite you.

honestly why wasn’t Tina Rosenberg put on suicide watch. or just. literally anything watch. i mean if i had anything to say about it i probably wouldn’t have just assumed nothing bad was going to happen to her ever again after she survived the first time.

ok the Painter is a horrible person for a number of reasons. but like. his paintings are infuriatingly good. he’s really good at painting. why didn’t he just go to art school or something.

🚈 amtrak-enthusiast Follow

ok i have been informed that the Painter is actually a woman. point still stands though

nathan cole is stronger than me (and most other cops). i would have shot both the painters dead even if they did put their hands up.

every time you guys talk about the murders that the painter did it’s always something completely new and batshit. i’m thinking you are all just making this shit up

i genuinely love love love the iconoclast path in rogue trader SO MUCH. its one of the things that ultimately enamors me to the warhammer franchise as a whole despite empathy being so antithetical to its world and genre. its not just because iconoclast is the Nice Person route or because it subverts the foundational principle that In The Grim Dark Universe There Is Only War............ but mostly i love it because its the best way to actually engage w the morality system presented in 40k and explore it the way it deserves to be explored. its so unique parsing through the choices of the game and navigating how one might actually ACHIEVE goodness through - or more accurately without - the lens of liberal modern morality. because adhering to what we presently would call morality is arguably crueler than some of the dogmatic choices - or at least the game wants you to reflect on that and decide if that kind of morality still has value or not. and i like that they give you the opportunity to do that. youre rarely rewarded for kindness in this game and in fact your oftentimes actively punished for it (void shadows was a TRIAL for my iconoclast rt) which presents another question: are you being good because of a reward you believe you'lll be entitled to, or are you being good for the sake of goodness itself??? in saying that i do LOVE how there IS payoff in the iconoclast route eventually - when youve bleed and suffered for it enough. but theres a quality to it thats so..... so BITTERSWEET, because yippee you Empathed your way to the top - but also what IS the top?? congratulations, you are the kindest autocrat in the most bloodthirsty fascist regime in human history, sitting on your throne on a voidship run by all your slaves and serfs who die by the hundreds every time you make a warpjump for some dumbass sidequest. what the fuck. can you actually call that goodness ????? is whatever goodness-adjacent thing youve achieved worth it even if you cant change the system in the ways that matter ??? lastly - the iconoclast ending is both so wildly universe-altering to the point of feeling like a heretical ending - but also kind of. not mattering really lol. because even though its hopeful, the "good" ending still feels soooo tentative with the likelihood that its very likely not going to last. but that in itself is my favorite take away from playing this game as The Last Good Guy in the Galaxy: because the love DIDNT change anything. and it DOESNT save anyone. but ohhhhhhhhh my fucking god does it absolutely matter that it was there.

[strawberryicemoon]

I was thinking about "Princess-coded" characters, and by extension Aelita. And I'm thinking Franz/Waldo almost kinda made his daughter a god?

At least the potential is there.

We don't really see Aelita do anything that crazy with the super computer, but Aelita is one of the few beings who can theoretically make full use of the computer.

And the things we do see the computer do are wild. Turn off gravity and heat on earth, and of course return to the past for example. The supercomputer literally gives someone the power to play god. If someone with malicious intent got full control of the computer the results would be devastating. And Aelita technically has that power.

If Lyoko was written a bit less episodically and with more of an interest in examining the implications of its worldbuilding I think there could be room fro a story about what it means to be human/transcending humanity. A story where in Waldo's desperation to save his daughter he literally deifies her, chains her to the fate of reality itself and the implications thereof. Don't get me wrong I enjoy it as is, but stuff like this is why I keep thinking about this show. Granted Aelita's storyline already does touch on aspects of this with Aelita not considering herself human and her horror at what her father did to her life at points. And well, of course the only reason Aelita IS involved in all of this is because of her father.

Garage kids had the kids retain their Lyoko powers in their day to day life, and while I think understand WHY they changed that, from a worldbuilding perspective there is no real reason they don't. After all the super computer already gives them the ability to remember rttp and a resistance to Xanas influence. Irl powers really isn't far out of the realm of possibility. An Aelita with Creation in her day to day life would not be something to be trifled with.

On a totally unrelated note, we know how easy it was for Aelita's very life to become entangled with the computer itself, dying if anything happened to the computer. And with the computers influence on the world, how easy would it have been for the whole world's existence to have become entangled with the computers continued existence.
