001. Text // Kick it right out of frame - does it matter?

[drydrown]

You know, this may be a slightly inane question, but since apparently I'm being made to deal with the local social media conspiracy firsthand, this is hardly the stupidest thing I'm going to decide to do. At least, as far as the rest of you lot tend to tell it.

So! While we're all here and blundering our way through this holiday season – does anyone have any idea what the ratio is here for "people remembering reasonably normal lives" set against "people whose past lives were apparently some sort of weird genre-fiction mess"? If you want to describe your particular brand of genre-fiction mess, do feel free, but it's not required.

Asking for a friend, obviously. ♡

I haven't remembered enough about my own circumstances to say either way, but the way it's looking right now it's leaning towards fantasy-based Oscarbait, probably filmed in New Zealand.

oh great
it'll be a 9 hour long trilogy and everyone's gonna love it even if it's slow and boring and it sucks
and it'll win every award it gets nominated for
looks like you lucked out in the memory movie lottery

[drydrown]

Honestly? More or less. If I have one thing to be grateful for regarding this entire inconvenient trainwreck, that's probably it. ♡

[frostythehitman]

don't expect retrospec to actually give you any oscars
you'll just wake up being like 98 with a longass beard one day
or whatever kind of wizard you're supposed to be
that's more their mo

Speaking of things I don't particularly want to think about, that was approximately all of them.

At least the specific Mont Saint-Michel knockoff that I supposedly lived in was nice. Shame about whatever cataclysm apparently...ate it, or whatever we're supposed to believe happened there.

[frostythehitman]

ate it
what like some big fantasy goblin just took a bite out of it?

[drydrown]

Honestly, that sounds no more ridiculous than anything else that Retrospec is positing happened to it.

[frostythehitman]

oh i know
i wasn't asking sarcastically

[drydrown]

Whatever happened, apparently as far as my former world was all concerned some space children saved us from certain doom and they're why we have stars, or something inane like that.

No explanation for anything Retrospec is talking about, just the vague idea that we have some odd mythology.

[frostythehitman]

well?
IS it mythology
or did it actually happen
it's not like i can tell the difference anymore with all the other world/other soul/retrospec bs they keep throwing at us

[drydrown]

I don't see how it could be anything but mythology... Though I suppose you have a point. To my knowledge, however? It's just a story that people tell their children.

[...And he never did get to experience the entire mess at Zaude, because such is being a minor antagonist. So.]

[frostythehitman]

how much you wanna bet
i'll put down ten bucks on it being real

[drydrown]

Oh, I'm not betting anything, simply because reality has liked toying with my expectations so often nowadays. ♡

[frostythehitman]

well damn you caught on quick
