The retrocausality of the boomerang

[kidflashimpulse]

After having reread the first chapter of Retrocausality and the newest chapter of AAIT, I'm REALLY curious how Jaime will react when (if?) Bart tells him that Owen is in their timeline after having heard Bart's stories and literally having seen Bart cry about Owen and his past

Like okay, Jaime still being a Mom Friend and defending Owen after Bart said that he loves Jaime more than his own brother is such a Jaime thing to do but I also feel like Owen (accidentally?) completely messed Bart's view of a stable life up in their own timeline, and I very much believe that Jaime knows that and very much holds that against Owen

i don’t even mean this hyperbolically but u’ve nailed the situation exactly as it is (and nicely tied up the two plot points that were the reason for why i couldn’t help but post the prologue to Retrocausality, like i really couldn’t help myself LOL)

the “accidentally completely messed Barts view of a stable life up in their own timeline” is everything because yes, the horrors of a post apocalyptic society isn’t just the event that had caused everything and the wasteland of an environment they had to live in, but also the resulting toxic and abusive remains of a society that they have to grow up in and navigate.

Owen is a character who i see as deeply flawed, but that’s also inadvertently his appeal/charm. And I think his tropes play nicely into Barts themes. Owen’s not a bad person and he’s always just trying his best, but that doesn’t excuse his actions (?) either.

Whilst i think (and did atleast attempt to allude throughout AAIT in spite of/including the latest chapter) that the two cared for eachother deeply, i think it’s realistic to expect it to have been a heavy and loaded relationship. And despite Jaimes sympathetic mom friend nature (as u so nicely put it lol) he feels for Bart and in doing so he knows that he ultimately loved Owen which is ironically why he’s arguing with him because it’s like he wants to help bart untangle his messed up view of his relationship with owen. But hes only doing that because of his friendship and understanding for the other, and at the same time 100% does hold it against Owen.

there is then the role of what it means for jaime to be blue beetle and how Owen would cope with that, but that’s a whole other essay in itself 😹

as i low-key may have spoiled in some previous posts, the very important points that u’ve raised do manifest in upcoming chapters but- probably not in the way u might be thinking/expect, atleast not this “early” on in Retrocausality .

Thank u so much for reading and for sharing these thoughts with us, always so fun to read and think about <333

The Art of Offering Naivedya to Mother Lakshmi by a Ritual of Surrender (Samarpan) of Optical Geometry of Beauty to the Eyes of the World

In the woodcut lithographs and serigraphs in the luminous moons of tetra-aeonic manuscripts, the pulsating pattern of her movement in poise, her dancing feet over icy waters, amazonites, corals, rubies and milkwood roses, strings the lyre’s ephemeral songs They are sung in the orbs that dazzle in her celestial diadem and in the grasses that hung over blue bells or autumnal seeds Gazing into the…

Retrocausality or Backwards causation is a concept of cause and effect where the effect precedes its cause in time, so that a later event in time affects an earlier event. In quantum physics, the distinction between cause and effect is not made at the most fundamental level, so time-symmetric systems can be viewed as causal or retro-causal. Philosophical considerations of time travel often address the same issues as retrocausality, as do treatments of the subject in fiction, but the two phenomena are distinct.

Holy shit I'm married to Mike Birbiglia

An unexpected turn of events by a comedian that can only be described as professional.

Tumblr help me plan a wedding gift. Like some kind of halo effect he can invoke whenever he wants, or constant (holy-styled) sunbeams whenever he's out getting groceries or something. Anything that says, "I'm omnipotent and you just made me the happiest god on Earth," but with a clear connotation of, "You're welcome!"

@thepigeongazette: You should get in on this too, because I may have slightly adjusted his fate to help his jokes, which is an idea I got from reading your comics, and really appreciating the dark humor.

Go and check out the Retrocausality Kickstarter.  Retrocausality is a rules-light tabletop game about time travel, in the vein of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure or Back to the Future. It's designed for quick play, with a simple card-based system and loose travel rules.

I’m gonna be doing some artwork for it.

WOWOWOWOW HOW AND WHY AND HUH WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR NEW FIC

(You can take a gamble at who this rambler is🤭)

Owen in Bart's timeline?? How is that even possible?? Did it have to do with Bart's unstatiable energy??

I have so many questions like what the holy hell

And JAY oh my GOD don't even get me started on that how DARE you annihalate my heart like that😭😭 The guilt and the depression and anxiety and paranoia and the FAMILY THERAPY?!?!? Our guy needs so much comfort (same with Bart holy hell, why did Ed leave Bart needs him!! (Y'know, emotionally and very obviously mentioned by Bart himself physically LMAO))

I feel so bad for Jay and Bart, I can only imagine the guilt on both sides (Jay when Bart was lost, Bart now that he's back) and the way it impacted everything around them as well

I really hope things will work out again between them and Owen better not screw things up

honestly idk wats going on there half the time either besides ?????!!!!!!!!!! i think it summarises it pretty accurately

jk but omg welcome back bestie 😘

yeah it warrants those “jay and bart need a hug” type tags and tbh we also need “they need to hug eachother” whilst we r at it 😭

the bart call out 😭 i’m in tears

ed out there doing life saving work but fr he’s gotta get his priorities straight, or maybe that’s where the problem lies 😂

bart’s insatiable energy is symbolic !! i WISH i could comic logic it into an actually physical explanation for owens return but no the science in that fic is somewhat in line with what we know from the series BUT i love how u pointed it out! because it was fully intended to be symbolic, like some kind of cosmic connection that he has, as tbh bart’s background kind of gives him that almost deity like quality low-key yes no idk that makes him going through it like that signal like an omen that shit is about to go down lol

omg say it! say it @ owen lol u GET it! i mean it’s hard out there so u know him being a disaster (too) is understandable but this is bart we r talking about so

thank u so much for sharing thoughts with us as always 🙏❤️ so incredibly interesting to read !! and thank u for reading <33
