Ok niche-ish crossover incoming but hear me out: André Beetroot as Billy Pilgrim.

A war veteran inexplicably gained the ability to time-travel but has no control over where and when he goes, all he can do is watch as the world around him moves forwards and backwards and slows down and speeds up. He has seen everything and knows everything, and yet he still stands back and does nothing, because what can he really do? Nothing. Nothing useful, anyway.

Sound familiar?

#shoot from the hip #beetroots and murder #(billy pilgrim from slaughterhouse five btw)#I'm not even a huge fan of the novel but I just read it like a month ago for english class and like I'm a sucker for parallels so #andre being a time traveller has so many messed up implications #like do you think he knew about the beetroot kid burning down half of somerset?#and ok let's say he does. now the entire beetroot competition just became so much more fucked up #like andre has to host the competition *knowing* that half of somerset is about to be burned down #AND he has to face the kid who did it all the while concealing the truth from everyone #he has to pretend like everything's normal while knowing the devastation that is to come #like #that's kinda fucked up
