I’m seeing people bring this up so I just need to rant a lil I’ve been thinking about the idea of alternative timelines, especially in stories where a person dies and then ends up in a different timeline. It’s almost like getting a 2nd chance, but not exactly?? What really gets to me about this trope is that even though the person gets a “new life” in another timeline, they’re still gone in the original one. That hurts me because, in those timelines, they no longer exist, and I can’t help but wonder what a partner, friends, and family would think or feel about that loss..is that just me?
Maybe I don’t fully understand how timelines are supposed to work—like, am I missing something?—but the whole concept feels painful to me. It’s the same with time travel. I don’t really believe in time travel, and I struggle to wrap my head around it. If you could travel through time, would anything really change? It seems like such a massive “main character” kind of thing to do, but wouldn’t it ripple out and affect everyone else too? It’s strange to me that these stories often overlook that part. Anyways, this thought is kind of ruining the story for me
Does anyone know the author’s socials? (Twitter, Insta..etc.
People argue it's okay because they're not blood brothers, but I find it uncomfortable since some step-siblings consider each other family despite not sharing blood. It just feels so wrong, especially considering they grew up together as a family.
