(grabbing you by the shoulders) no but do you understand? do you understand what I mean when I say that fame does NOT give you immortality, it makes you MORE mortal. if you do something that has a big enough effect on the world around you (like, idk, creating some of the most historically influential music ever made), now that event is not only fixed in this reality's timeline, but also in the timeline of every single fictional reality taking place on earth past the date of that event. your non-existence would now cause much larger butterfly effects than it would for the average person, so for those other 'realistic' fiction realities to still make sense, everything that happened to you leading up to that moment has to have happened in some way. and by that same logic, if you die, you die in more than just this universe. you have to die in all of the others too. so you are more dead than other people, not less

#i will keep making variations of this post forever #like. there is no guarantee that -you- (the person reading this) exists in any single fictional reality. you're just some guy.#but like. if you were to watch a show taking place in the modern day and it came up in the episode that the beatles don't exist #that would be WEIRD. that would be notable. that would have -implications-#so the assumption you're making then is always that the beatles (or whoever) always do exist unless otherwise directly specified #by extension. at least the general outline of their 'story' had to have happened. maybe distorted in some way. but still there #by cementing yourself in history you are dooming yourself by the narrative in reverse #do you understand me?#this is why I say that dark side of the moon isn't an album it's a Fact. it feels like it had to have happened. it's a canon event
