#TIME TRAVEL

[notenoughdramaaa]

Me out here building two insane timelines and fixing all the time-travel messes just ’cause nobody wanted to write a fic where Regulus goes back, saves himself and James, keeps Sirius outta Azkaban, and makes a whole new Voldemort-free universe so he and James can be happy. Like, c’mon, fanfic writers—you already let me down once. Don’t make me write my own Jegulus version of While You Were Sleeping too

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

Hi there, I'm looking for a sterek fic where it was only Stiles and Peter left in this timeline and Peter helps Stiles travel back in time. I remember that the fic goes back and forth between Stiles' "new" timeline and Peter back in the old one and when Stiles changes something in that timeline it cuts back to Peter where that timeline gets affected. Another part I remember is when Stiles is at school, Cora goes up to him and ask what is he bc she can now smell magic on him. Thank you :D

Hi @blubluebaby312! @uinuvien says it's this one!

How to Save a Life by ReginaNocis

(23/23 I 50,242 I Teen I Sterek)

After being abandoned by his pack, Stiles embarks on a quest to save the lives of the one family in Beacon Hills that could fix everything.

If Stiles ever made it back to his own time, he would never be telling Derek what he’d done. Of course, if all the pieces fell into place, he’d never have to speak of it again. As it was, he shouldn’t have even been able to perform the ritual. It was a good thing that Stiles lived to exceed expectations- especially magical ones.

You know, is the yingdu arc even necessary? Like link click……link click please I don’t think we need this. My health isn’t built for this, take it back. I don’t want it. You’re doing too much like it’s giving extra.

It’s giving you fucking hate me😀

Time travel tomarry fic idea

What happens to Harry's wand in Ollivander's? As in, he travels back in time, still has his wand, and then lived his life. What happens to the holly wand still in the past?

Now, presumably, this wand would go to the Harry born in 1980, right? Wrong! Even if he does end up being born, I doubt he'd be chosen by the holly wand. (I have a whole list of reasons for this, but it basically ends with how young Harry doesn't have the prophecy hanging over his head and this version of him isn't Voldemort's equal, so why would he get the brother wand?)

Anyway, I have another idea for what could happen to the wand.

Time traveler Harry's wand is destroyed. Not when he's still in his own time, oh no.... It gets destroyed in the past somehow. Maybe he's fighting against Grindelwald or Tom or wtv, but his wand is broken, completely and utterly. His last connection to his own time, his tether, gone.

So what does he do? He has to go to Ollivander's and get the 1940s version of his wand. And it's a symbolic scene. This scene symbolises how he really can't go back home. He's stuck in the 40s and has to make the most of it.

And that means something. It's a lesson I feel he has to learn. I wish there was something like this in fanfic.

Tfw having to work with their past selves, but no amount of wisdom or logic seems to get through.

///

Young Dean - is spiraling, less likely to do “the hard thing, the ugly thing.” This is a Dean who’s holding out hope to do the right thing when there seem to be no good options.

Older Dean reckons with the version of himself who was more idealistic, flagrantly emotional, and definitely more in tune of “which way’s up, which way’s down.”

Young Sam - brimming with confidence and convinced he knows better than everyone, he challenges the older versions at every turn, struggling to understand the complexity of the decisions they’ve made or trust in their wisdom.

Older Sam reckons with the version of himself who was sure he had all the answers, full of confidence and blind to the consequences of his certainty.

Young(er) Cas - uncomfortable with the apparent closeness between Dean and his older self, he sees it as a complication that distracts from his duty. This Cas actually berates his older self with faux-wise, paternalistic concern, in the style of an ill-tempered Father who knows best: “He’s your charge; that’s inappropriate; be more responsible” etc.

Older Cas reckons with the version of himself who swore fealty to the human family but refused to carve out space for his own emotions, seeing any personal attachment as a betrayal of his sacred responsibility to protect them.

So guys does Criris Point 2 or The SNW crossover count as Lower Decks time travel episodes

Guys I'm beginning to think Lower Decks is about to end being the only Star Trek show that doesn't have any time travel episodes. I can already see people retroactively saying Crisis Point 2 or the SNW crossover count though (in my eyes they dont)

DP X DC: A Minor Drinking Problem

Phantom is a relatively new member of the JLA, but it's been a few months, and things are settling in well. He's shy and polite but is a master of the snark with villains.

Before a big mission, the all hands on deck kind, everyone is talking about scars and the crazy stories behind them to distract from the coming fight. Danny, finally feeling like he can join in the conversation with all these adult heroes, pulls off his right glove to show a pretty gnarly scar on the back of his wrist. “I got this one when I fought a guy from the Revolutionary War a few weeks ago! Didn't think he'd charge me with a bayonet.” He shares a couple more stories and scars, but only the ones that he can easily show off.

Because of stories like that and some historical depictions of Phantom from different time periods, they think he's this ancient and powerful immortal that just looks like a teenager, it wouldnt be the first time. He's powerful enough to go toe to toe with Superman, so there's no way he's actually a kid. He even sometimes has the haunted, world weary eyes that their most hardened members only get after experiencing too much. Danny, being our lovable, obliviously dense idiot, has not realized that they think he's an ancient being.

After the mission concludes -it was a rough one-, the JLA celebrate their victory with a couple drinks back at the watch tower. Danny is understandably uncomfortable with this whole situation and keeps asking, “Are you sure I should be here?” They reassure him it's fine as they pass around beers, which Danny politely declines several times. Danny eventually sees this as the perfect chance to pad his blackmail folders on his inebriated coworkers.

Anyway, as the night goes on, they have a good time, but Phantom still hasn't gotten a drink like the rest of them, and Green Lantern (or hero of your choice) really wants their shy friend to come out of his shell. So, he slams an open beer bottle on the coffee table in front of Phantom. “Come on Phantom! Let loose a little. Celebrate!”

“Dude! What the hell?! I'm 16! That's illegal!” Phantom squeaks in shock.

“We don't care how old you were when you died. It's how long you've been a ghost that counts.” Flash slings an arm around Danny's shoulders from where he’s sat next to him on the couch. Flash can't get drunk, but he also thinks it would be fun to see their uptight new member drunk.

“That's even worse! You'd be giving alcohol to a two year old!” Phantom is horrified that his coworkers are so casually breaking the law.

“But you said you fought in the Revolutionary War this morning!” Green Lantern said with his eyebrows knit in confusion.

“No, I said I fought someone from the Revolutionary War. As in, the ghost of someone from the revolutionary war!”

“You can't pull that on us. There's murals and stuff of you from thousands of years ago.” The Flash waves off with a laugh.

Phantom’s finger presses painfully hard into Flash’s chest. “I do not need to explain time travel to you of all people. My mentor hates you, and I'm STILL sent on missions constantly to clean up your messes.” Phantom's clear and low. Flash liked it better when he was shouting and not staring him down like a predator with narrowed eyes.

(This random idea popped into my head. It made me laugh, so I thought you might, too. Here you go!)

op I need you to know that your url caused me to hear this in Archer's voice and it's sending me to another dimension

What if you figured out time travel was real because a time traveler defied the odds of time and space to repeatedly find and fuck your mom throughout her lifespan

You’re a time traveller in seventeenth century England, and today you decide to swing by the local playhouse. The play they’re showing today isn’t Shakespeare, but that’s still cool, you might be watching some play that was lost to history.

And it’s good, it’s something about two alchemists and their quest to find the philosopher’s stone. But as the play goes on, you get this little. Thing in your brain that you don’t think about until the intermission.

And it’s while you’re at Ye Olde concession stand that you realize that the play you’ve been watching has been, beat for beat, the plot of Fullmetal Alchemist.

And you’re standing in the theatre with your mouth full of Ye Olde Poppéd Grains, because. What the fuck what does that mean. Is it a coincidence? Did Hiromu Arakawa base her manga off this forgotten seventeenth century English play? Is the playwright another time traveller preemptively ripping off Fullmetal Alchemist a full four centuries before it’ll ever be written? How the fuck do you respond to this

Do it for the Plot

~

I like the idea of Tim and Danny meeting and just clocking each other as little shits TM.

Just causing chaos to everyone in a way that can't really be traced back to them like 'Who? Me? I was busy doing all of these other things I have no idea how I would do that?'

Danny helps Tim get revenge on the bats for all the shit he's had to put up with and being absolute trolls about the whole thing *chefs kiss*

~

Tim&Danny dragging Ra's body

Damian: "Wha-?"

T&D: "No one will ever believe you"

Danny makes them go invisible

~

Bats: "Where ya going Tim?"

Tim holding back a cackle:" Oh, it's my anniversary so it's date night!"

Bats: "Anniversary?! We didn't know you were getting serious with someone?"

Tim: "Serious? He's my husband of course I'm serious about him"

Bats: "Wait hold on-!"

Tim: "Gotta go! Can't be late I have to make sure the babysitter has everything they'll need."

Bats: "BABYSITTER!?"

Tim: "Bye bye~!"

(They planned all of it including their 'fake marriage', Danny went back in time with the help of CW who is a troll at heart, and made the legal changes including Dan and Dani as their kids (their de-aged) otherwise someone (Oracle) would have eventually realized that the license is fake. So they went back in time and made it legitimately real)

~

Danny being Ghost King means that Tim is now also royalty

Tim walking up to John Constantine:" I have your entire soul"

and then just turning around and leaving

John very much felt the very strong Death Energy claiming Tim: "I don't want to be sober right now"

~

Earth about to be taken over for the 5th time that year by higher beings

Tim walking up late with coffee in his hand: "Leave or I'll call my husband"

Higher Beings very much not wanting to mess with the High King of the Infinite Realms: ᕕ( ᐕ )ᕗ

The Phantom family relaxing with cucumbers on their eyes and face masks: "Did you hear something?"

Just an Idea

[lennythereviewer]

My favorite Kingdom Hearts fact is that one of the biggest plot-holes that Nomura has never been able to meaningfully retcon or write his way out, a plot-hole so big that it fundamentally breaks the very rules the series is written on...

Is the existence of Steamboat Willie

Let me explain for the uninitiated:

In Kingdom Hearts 2, there’s a small detour in the story involving Maleficent trying to invade Disney Castle, the home of King Mickey. She can’t step foot in the castle due to an artefact of pure light that wards off darkness locked in the basement.

Pete, who is working for Maleficent, opens a door into the past (Before Disney Castle, this land was known as Timeless River) and decides to remove the artifact from it’s place in time so it won’t be there to stop them from getting in.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy chase Pete into the past thanks to another magic door provided by Merlin, and through some shenanigans involving old cartoons and teaming up with Pete’s past-self, they lock the door the villains are using, and return the artefact to it’s proper place so it can exist in the present.

You with me so far? Pretty straightforward-ish time-travel plot right?

Here’s where it goes off the rails.

Time travel would go on to become a staple of Kingdom Hearts going forward and would come with a very strict set of rules over how it operates:

1. You can only travel to a point in time where a version of yourself exists

2. You basically give up your body to do so, and travel as a disembodied soul unless you have a vessel to inhabit

3. You can’t alter the past in a meaningful way, what’s going to happen will happen

4. You lose your memories of said trip once you return, but your actions could leave a lingering instinct on your other self that could influence their decisions

“Wait” you may be thinking “Why should anyone go through all those hoops? Wasn’t time travel super simple that first time?”

And you’d be totally right, because the existence of Timeless River completely renders all of these rules and restrictions meaningless. 

There is no version of Sora that existed in Timeless River before he step foot there, everyone kept their bodies, the trio and Pete were able to mess with the timeline as freely as they pleased, and they all very much remember their trip. 

Nomura has never been able to meaningfully explain this super simple, easy way of time travel and the more convoluted method co-existing other than a cheap-throwaway line from one of the villains saying that Merlin “broke the rules” 

The hilarious part about this line is that it implies that PETE of all characters is actually more powerful than the actual villain of the series, because Pete opened a door into Timeless River through sheer willpower and nostalgia for “the good old days”

But the all-knowing chess-master of a villain who had an evil plan several decades in the making with countless moving parts and contingencies to account for had to use the roundabout, more complicated method of time travel where a lot could go wrong.

Pete though? Dude just casually broke all the rules of time travel because he felt like it. He's just built different.

TL;DR: Steamboat Willie breaks Kingdom Hearts lore in half, Pete is more powerful than Master Xehanort, and I fucking love this beautiful trainwreck of a series you guys it means so much to me

I love Kingdom hearts so much.

I felt even more bittersweet illustrating this fic because it was finished almost 10 years ago and I've only discovered and fell in love with it this week ❤️‍🩹 When the Hummingbirds Return by Emanium
