the absolute mortal ordeal of being known in a place that exists in your own head <- this is about scott pilgrim subspace
it's never really. explained? how it works and just sort of exists and while i do think that's genuinely real as fuck it's also a massive pain in the fucking ass to try and like. come up with something- anything- fucking coherent about it because it just. exists. it's just there
it's in your head. it's in a door. it's nowhere and everywhere and everything and nothing all at once and i love it. like. yeah in the text literally it's just a highway within their reality but like. there is one in the main fucking character's head and no one treats it like a big deal. they don't have them in canada/they aren't common there.
it's so fascinating. the wiki says there's three types (transport, mind, storage) but it also notes that they bleed into each other which is like. incredible to me. absolutely fascinating. you can store shit in your head and also like. travel through your own brain to cut down on commute times and also project yourself into other people's heads like. holy fuckign shit!!!
i should also point out the possibility and opportunity for existential horror within the realm of subspace but like. if you see this post please interact i need people to go mental about subspace with it's so cool it's so cool it's so cool
