001: Multiverse Theory - Video
Hey pals, Doreen here. I noticed a little confusion about some parts of the situation? Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of confusion to go around, but in this case, I think at least a few of us know what's going on? We just thought everyone else had figured it out by this point.
Sorry about that, but I'm going to try to make up for it.
[She picks up one of the paper plates.]
Pretend this is the world we're on.
[She puts the plate on the table, moving the camera around so it's facing it.]
Now, if anything we've told about this place is true, this is probably Earth.
Robbie and I? We're from Earth. [Another plate on the table.]
Sticky Ben? Yep, Earth. [Third plate on the table.]
Phosphophyllite, Armstrong, Kevin, Gadget? Earth, Earth, Earth, Earth. And another bunch of Earths for most of the rest of us, too. <[Plates just go all over the table.]
I know some of you are from other worlds. They're important, they're where you live, after all, but they're not super-relevant to my point right now. You might want to pay attention just in case, though.
Now, you're thinking, dang, Doreen, that's a lot of people from Earth. You might be wondering why I used so many plates if we're all from the same place.
The thing is while we might all be from Earth, we're not all from the same Earth. Hence all the plates.
See, everything, Earth, the sun, the stars, and other planets? They occupy a thing called the universe. But? There's more than one universe. Universes where life didn't develop, where it developed differently, where the laws of physics have ceased to make any sort of sense, where none of us have powers, where all of us have powers, where our moralities have been entirely flipped, where you decided not to have that donut last week...etcetera.
And in each of them, Earth, or whatever planet you're from, does or doesn't exist. This is what we call a multiverse. And in some cases, it's possible to visit or even be stuck in one of these alternate universes. Which is pretty much what happened here.
I hoped that cleared some things up. If it didn't, I'll try to answer any questions you have. Can't promise I'll be able to answer all of them, though. I'm not an expert in multiverse theory or anything, this is basically just stuff you pick up when you become a superhero.

[saturday is posting this as a text comment]
between all the plates and stuff is what we call the astral plane where i come from, which is kind of a spirit realm that reflects and is shaped by the world and can shape it back under the right conditions. spirits and magic live there, sort of? i'm not an expert i just hang out with them.
anyway the astral is something i wanna note because one of its whole dealios is that its very malleable, that's what makes it not a metaplane. a metaplane is one of the plates, it's a place where the rules are stable enough that some kind of "reality" can exist. like... islands in a sea, except the sea is a non-place where the rules are whatever the strongest will around thinks they should be.
im bringing this up mostly because i wonder if anyone else thinks the Stuff is related to it? since it brought us here, and it kinda acts like the astral, responding to people's minds and stuff.

In any case, whenever I have to deal with alternate realities, I don't have to put up with the astral planes, so I don't have anything to really go off of.
But Stuff doesn't act like the astral planes that've been described to me. Something that weakens us or destroys our stuff before we can be weakened sounds more Qliphothic to me, but you don't usually hear about the big Q giving life to things like folding chairs.
