Well, you've got me intrigued, your checklist of reasons why I shouldn't be notwithstanding. Looking forward to more as you complete the outline and start filling in details.

You are telling me not to read this?

You leave me no choice!

*starts reading*

I see you're the kind of pony who likes reverse psychology... OR DO YOU

Now this is an interesting one... posting the actual chapters out-of-order and out-of-context in keeping with the time travel theme. And it sounds like some kind of high-grade disaster is already going down in the future. I hope faving this in the present will keep me up-to-date on past chapters?

dude, after that intro, i just had to, that was the best discription i've ever read xD

I agree with Luna here.

Explain.

Or confuse us further.

Either is good.

10/10 would read again

THIS IS AWESOME

Confusion? Check

Interested? Check

Reading? Check

Watching? Check

Mustaches? You tell me.

Hmm... interesting. I'm guessing you already have the story mapped out to some degree, or you're a genius if you make this work by making it up as you go. Either way, I will be looking forward to more.

Liking the reverse psychology description. Intriguing story, added to favs so I know when its updated. Keep up the awesome work!

Have a mustache. Or two. Or three. Whatever number I feel like, really...

“Explain.”

Yes, please do!

Oh goddess, you're doing it again. If this is as mindblowing as Double Rainboom, I'm going to find you, AGAIN, and punch you in the arm, AGAIN.

first

but any way am i the only one that can follow this chapter

AHHHHH!!! My brain doesn't understand! Keep going so it can!

I'm so confused.

Wow. Gordia had less fearsome knots than what you've done with the timeline. I hope you've written down all of this somewhere.

Space-time preservation mumbo-jumbo

should have said

Haha! More story! But now I'm more confused than ever...

The potential hazards of time travel are truly innumerable. Also, one wonders how any kind of conversation can take place when the participants are temporally antiparallel to one another (treating perceived time flow as a vector.)

I think I just hurt my brain trying to figure out how that conversation with Twilight would go. That's probably going to be a running thing with this story...

There are two ways to hold a conversation when your partner's time is reversed from yours (that I can think of - feel free to suggest more):

1) Knowing the questions you're going to ask and only not knowing the answer, you go in with the intent to ask, receive the answer, then ask so as not to paradoxificate everything.  This is relatively straightforward, but hairy.  It relies on time travel working a particular way and opens you up to danger, plus, you generally need to have the whole conversation mapped out with only blanks for them to fill in.

2) You segment it.  Only possible if you can jump around, but luckily Trixie and European Black (Haven't actually said that full name in story yet, have I?  It's a VERY dumb joke once you get it) can do that.  The example that's easiest to understand is this: you appear at the end of it for you and the beginning for your friend; tell them you'll be right back, backwards, ask them the question, backwards, then greet them, backwards; jump to a few minutes before that, thank your partner and say goodbye, backwards, listen to the answer, backwards, then say "Hey I'm back" backwards before disappearing again.  Tweak and extend as needed.

It is not necessary to know exactly how the backwards conversation was done, just that it was tricky, stupid time shenanigannery and that it was likely very difficult.  Trixie is a talented mare.

I don't suppose you've read Homestuck, have you? Because the segmented tachyonversation seems oddly familiar. Heck, the entire story's founded on weird time shit. I haven't seen a timeline this scrambled since Double Rainbow.

Nope.  Never.
