Classical War Poster. I Don't Know What A "fuck Boy" Is.

something interesting is happening on the nexus this week

But would they be sworn to carry my burdens?

New H3 idea:

When you go to the base (or whatever it is called in the future), you can choose one of the other characters there to come with you as you travel the overworld, like a partner in crime (or a meat shield)

I can't imagine how many takes that needed.

Hearing the "hner ner ner ner ner ner" sung in such an operatic anthem-y way is so so so funny to me

The TARDIS is sick of the Doctor forming toxic relationships with companions and she is not relinquishing control of the jukebox.

obsessed with the Doctor making a promise he can’t keep, kissing Belinda’s hands, and then Toxic by Britney Spears immediately blasting over the TARDIS radio.

yes TARDIS. you have accurately assessed the dynamic there for sure

As if he couldn’t get any more Tumblr Sexy Man…

Dat Face! 😳

The mercenary badges, maybe? I know they're really easy to get; they're my only cosmetic so far, but I don't see them used much.

Or just the first one you see that makes you smile. Whatever works for you.

I shoukd try making a tf2 cosmetic with cardboard, but I don't know which one so I'll be looking

Edit: I've given up looking, feel free to give me an idea

This has got me thinking. What about other universes?

Does Good Omens reset to become weirder when they start to question if angels and demons are to fight humanity at the end of days? Does Deltarune ultimately become Undertale or vice versa when all is said and done?

This is all I have rn.

I've had this (silly) theory about h2g2 for quite some time now (maybe 10 years). (And it also now includes a theory about Discworld and the Stanley Parable btw.)

So, we all know that 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything, and that the answer is not known in the universe. We also know that to obtain the answer a supercomputer had to be built and that it took millions of years to obtain that answer.

Now, at the start of the second book, it is mentionned the following:

'There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.'

Now, we can suppose that know both the question and the answer to life the universe and everything would be equivalent to discovering what the Universe is for and why it is here.

So, if as it is theorized, this has already happened, it could have happened more than one time. Maybe even 42 times? Leaving the question to be how many time the universe has exploded to become something weirder. Knowing that the universe only exists because it is meant to be something weirder than the previous universe, and had no other purpose or reason of existence than this.

Now, of course, this leaves a lot of unanswered questions. What happened to the first iteration of the universe? Why did it even exist? Was its reason for existence similar - that is that the universe was already meant to be destroyed - or was it completely different? Do one person needs to know both the question or the answer - would that perhaps be enough to drive someone to madness to the point it would destroy the universe ? - or does it simply needs to be know at some point in the universe? And also, how do we mesure weirdness? Is it something linear? Or does it varies randomly? As for someone living in a fantasy universe, with magic and gods, our universe would seems really strange and vice-versa.

And of course, with that theory, I've tried to find some other answers hidden in fictional universes, finding the hidden numbers that seems to give sense to the univers without having any other meaning.

For the discworld universe, the number that would make the most sense would be 8, as it is the number of magic, and also the number most present in the universe.

I've also considered DEATH to be the answer for Doctor Who, as there is a mini episode called 'death is the only answer', and while it would probably mostly refer to the concept of death, a string of letter can correspond to a number, if the counting system used is not decimal, and it would make sense for the result to come in the system used by the people looking for the answer.

When it comes to the Stanley Parable is where the second part of the theory gets interesting. There are two numbers in particular that have some sort of importance in the Stanley Parable: 427 and... 8. But 8 have already been attributed to the Discworld universe, so it can't be the one for the Stanley Parable right? Wrong. In the science of the Discworld, the wizzard end up creating a full universe, based only on science and not on magic: Earth (would that mean that the answer for our universe would be 8 as well? That's a possibility. Or perhaps it is another version of our world there.) So maybe the universe of the Stanley Parable had been created in the purpose of discovering of the meaning of their universe, as it was the case for Earth in the h2g2 universe. It would absolutely be something that the wizzard would have the power to do, leaving 8 being the answer, and one of the main numbers present in the tsp universe. But, if we want to go a bit further, maybe finding the answer was only one of the goals intended for the creation of this universe. Maybe the other goal was to create a simulation of the universe, starting from zero, to see how the universe reacts to the truth about it being known. And while it tries to calculate the answer for the Discworld universe, it alise runs a simulation, showing universes being created and replaced as their own truth is found out. And maybe in that case, in the tsp universe it already happened 427 times. Which leaves the final question of why the Discworld universe has not been destroyed yet at this point? Maybe they have managed to figure out the question before the answer, and run the simulation about what would happen if both were known and by seeing the result decided to never look up the answer. Maybe they still haven't checked the result at the moment this happens. Or maybe, it has. Maybe the Discworld universe is long gone, leaving behind just a simulation that just reached the iteration 427 and that will keep running for eternity.
