May 7th 2023 - on to the fuel tanks!

[call-me-over]

Could everyone please have the victims of the allen shooting in your thoughts (or prayers if you're religious)?

It's just... all of this is so fucked up. Like, I shopped there and drove by it so often, and now there's little kids and families that died there. How many innocent people have to die for the gov to take it seriously?

ik i don't post about personal stuff a lot, but i just can't not talk about it.

Oh yeah something that occurred to me, I don’t remember if the reason was explicitly stated in the comic, but Rose burning her wizard fic MEOW:

She says the Horrorterrors told her to. It wasn’t relevant in the doomed offshoot but is now. One could interpret this as the HTs trying their damnedest to prevent Bec Noir’s advent (that’s definitely the source of at least one doomed timeline, MEOW being completely destroyed forever).

BUT, the Horrorterrors like... know how Sburb/Sgrub work. They should be fully aware of the Alpha Timeline at least as a concept, right?

So here’s my thoughts: they told Rose to destroy it, because that means the only existing copy is now in Dave’s hands (in the Alpha timeline; there must be one where he didn’t copy the journals). Dave has time travel: Rose does not.

What happens when Dave tries to follow Rose’s lead and burn his copy of MEOW?

He fucking dies.

But Dave is the Time player. He sees his own poor corpse, and does not try to go back and stop DD again, ensuring that MEOW is in DD’s hands, along with the Beta CDs I just realized this is a dual-pronged decision-

Without MEOW, there’s no Bec, there’s no Bec Noir, there’s no Alpha timeline. Without the Sburb Beta, there’s no discs for Jade, which means Dave doesn’t even get in (and neither does she!), which also can’t be the Alpha timeline.

When Rose goes off to destroy The Green Sun, DD comes after her, and Dave follows to protect her (because he has good reason to be scared of DD, after all, even if he didn’t realize who killed his alt self back then). It’s reasonable to assume DD was at least something of a threat to Rose at this point, at the top of her Echeladder if not armed.*

Which means he absolutely was some kind of threat when he first went to get MEOW.

The thing about Dave is that his Aspect makes him inherently expendable in a way (and boy is that fun for him and himselves!). He had a life to spare - Rose would not.

I think the Betas probably took higher priority, but I also think Dave making the journals and having the sole remaining copy was crucial at directing DD towards someone with that spare life. And I think the Horrorterrors knew that when they told Rose to burn it, or at least knew it was important to the Alpha timeline.

*I want to be clear that we’re all aware Rose is an absolute badass I just don’t want her to have had to fight him at that point at the very least.
