similarly, going back to friendsim would boot up friendsim, and there would be a continuation of the story in there. again: this would have taken forever but damn it woulda been cool. i wanna try something like this for my own works.

i briefly had this idea that the things you did in PQ with your retcon abilities would change things that already happened. if you ended up going to the epilogues or meeting UD etc, like, literally changing the like… epilogue pdfs or w/e, but this would have taken so long LMAO

part 2:



in the aradia route theres a point where you try to go back to friendsim and originally i wanted it to open friendsim and continue in there but nobody knows you because of doc scratch. this was obviously a bit much, and also what about the people who didnt own it etc

so when they told me that PQ was its own sort of “locked” canon, i got the idea that you try and go back and theres nothing there. you’re not just locked out, it just doesn’t exist. it has been forcibly removed from your canonical story.

during aradias route i wanted to show the same sort of.. importance of the fandom and the reader: the errors in continuity you create cause interest and support to wane. the universe cannot exist without the people who care. even if they care about, you know, bullshit details.

so as you go in and start moving things around to where they shouldn’t be, it literally starts breaking things apart. i’ll be the first to say a lot of the fans care way too much about nonsense but i hope that was seen as the nod it was meant to be. without you, this is nothing
