Meanwhile, the twins are just mentally losing it over seeing their baby sister alive and well somehow and resisting the urge to scoop her back up in their arms and tell her EVERYTHING that's been going on all these years

Because 1.) she doesn't seem to recognize them, and 2.) HOW DO THEY EVEN START

Fun fact, 🥝 doesn't know what her siblings look like since she only knows their voices, and I'd imagine their voices changed quite a bit since Book 1

It would be kinda fun to play around with 🥝 thinking that she's just here to assist these random heroes with fixing their mana crisis (again)

I'd imagine this is during the events of Book 3 or after that? Most likely after that since that makes more sense with 🥝's current age (though tbh idk how long Book 3 really took, I just know there's a canonical 5 year gap between it and Book 2)

BACK TO THE TOPIC OF THE IDEA

So now we have two established timelines that can feasibly exist at the same time, and with 🥝 getting more comfortable with her EdoT powers, it got me thinking about a scenario where she somehow finds her way into the DF timeline and finds her siblings sakdjajjf

If 🥝 burned down with her house in the DF timeline, thus freeing the EDoT from its mortal shackles and gaining the power to mess with the timelines, then that can definitely happen considering the EDoT is just CHILLING RIGHT THERE at the edge of time in the DF timeline

(Is this a stretch? Probably)

,,,,, and it got me thinking about how maybe in the DF timeline, the twins DIDN'T survive the whole 'going into space to battle a darkness dragon big enough to eat their goddamn sun', because who the fuck survives that?

Maybe,,,, they got PULLED from the AQW timeline to replace their DF selves?

So we got two timelines; one where 🥝 took that choice and the twins managed to survive Book 1 finale, and one where 🥝 lived on to become the Hero of Lore

But then there's the whole plothole with the Underworld existing, so why couldn't 🥝 find their souls in Death's domain and reunite with them?

Simple: timeline shenanigans + godly intervention.

In the DF timeline, 🥝 was given a choice by the EDoT (who I still consider to be a completely separate entity inhabiting her body) to sacrifice her life for her siblings when the sun got eaten

Whereas in the AQW timeline, she didn't have a choice

I've already mentioned before that 🥝's siblings died around the end of Book 1 of DF, and that's what led to her leaving home and starting her own hero journey

But uhh,,,,, I made 🥝's siblings to be her timeline's iteration of the the DF protag, so how tf are both of their timelines canon?

Been a hot minute since I added to the 🥝 thread ummm,,,,,

I guess I can entertain an impossible idea I've had for some years now? (Okay maybe not impossible since it involves timeline shenanigans but shhhh)

Update: my cat just ate the spider. I can only aspire to be as brave (or stupid) as he is JASKLDJLA
