11 for the altered timeline meme! your choice
slightly altered timeline meme | 11. the timeline in which something very little happened differently, but it changed a lot.
the easy answer is that if allen’s gangmate hadn’t stolen his mammet before he moved to ul’dah, he wouldn’t have had to slum it as intimately with ul’dah’s refugee crowd and would have focused more on empowering and bettering himself instead of this community he just met. it’s a very slippery slope to become a mob boss 😔
the hard answer is that if al didn’t jump off the dresser and land in l’selle’s sink, splashing soap in l’selle’s eye, l’selle wouldnt have run into the table and knocked the teacup to the floor. and if the teacup hadn’t shattered, he wouldn’t have been wearing his shoes in the house, which made him want to go outside because why else would he waste time with shoes. and if he didn’t go outside he wouldn’t have seen that one deer that reminded him of arismont that reminded him of limsa that reminded him of his mom’s fish dip, and he certainly wouldn’t have started walking towards highbridge to see what goods their air ferries brought in. and THEN he wouldn’t have seen rothe visiting alrek. which means he wouldn’t have learned that ala mhigans were into chakra rocks and rothe would have never gotten such a beloved gift from his best friend in the whole word 😔😔😔
