The Doorway: a panfandom game

Tony, I distinctly remember a conversation in which you agreed to stop your ego at making clones of yourself.

So, let me get this straight. I'm in another reality? And I'm going to miss Kyle's

I don't even know what to do with that, to be honest.

It just couldn't have come at a worse time.

If you haven't been affected by whatever idiotic piece of magic did this, could I ask for your help? I need clothes suitable for an eleven year old and footstool light enough to drag around more easily than the chair I've been using so far this morning, preferably one that will give me an extra couple of feet in height. I need to be able to easily reach my cauldrons.

I'm sure we've all noticed or noticed subconsciously, but most of the doubles and triples and quadruples are from alternate universes resembling our host one: Tony Stark (4), Steve Rogers (3), Clint Barton (3, 2), James Barnes (2), Natasha Romano(v/ff) (2), Nick Fury (2), Loki (2), Alex Summers (2), Scott Summers (2), Janet Van Dyne (2), T'Challa (2). Besides the numbers, there's plenty of versions of people here people know other versions of in their universes.

They aren't alone. There are two Spocks, which isn't surprising, given our universes are likely located fairly near each other. We also have Sherlock Holmes (3), and Jo(h/a)n Watson (3, 2). Those universes differ a fair bit more from each other than those Starfleet people are from.

And if I'm remembering correctly, Sam Merlotte (and formerly Jason Stackhouse) is from another universe than the Sookie Stackhouse, which shows more potential for doubles.

In the cases where our universes are fictionalized, it's easy to see why: Original Universe and AU Universe, the various Sherlock Holmes movies/tv shows, and the books/tv show for the latter. Statistically speaking, represented in media or not, there's an infinite variation on universes for any of us, and I know in some cases without doubles, there are multiple fictional representations. But still, the representation's highest from people from worlds like this one, on the doubles count. That and Harry Potter seems popular, but only the books. It could be a lot easier to pop someone over from a universe not far away (or a long time ago, Star Wars people).

I guess we'll see if that continues to hold up with more doubles.

I'm sorry.

But what is the point of being young when the music is so very terrible?

Hey, Annabeth. Do you maybe want to go get pizza with me later?

You're all murderers, aren't you?

It's an unsettling thought, when you realise that you've killed fewer people than the majority of your neighbours, and they all seem to think the murders they committed were justifiable. I wonder what the total body count for Tower Residents is -- not even including the recent vampire massacres.


[Tony Stark]
((a continuation of Dorian and Tony's #RealTalk started Here))

The trouble is, Tony, that when it comes to murdering seven billion people, or anyone, it isn't about what's right or wrong -- it's about choosing a side. You might imagine that you're doing the right thing for the people you care about, but that's all. You're never going to get a divine moment, you're never going to know for certain if you ever did the right thing and the consequences of your actions may very well reach on long after you die.

Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace -- All it is, all it's ever been, is the ability to be unwavering. There is no right and there is no wrong, there is only movement forward. People live, people die and they always have. You've played a role in that, so have I and so has nearly everyone else here. There are really only two kinds of people, those that live and those that exist. Those that live are the ones who get to make decisions, to experience the light and darkness in themselves, that paint and play and create. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all -- and those that do, the world happens to them. You can argue about their opportunities or lack thereof until you're blue in the face, but the truth is still that the choice was never theirs -- it was always yours because you earned it and because you took it. All you can do, Tony, is give it up. Give up living, give up the position you put yourself in and go work for one of those companies that'll pay you desperate amounts of money. Or don't. Continue to choose a side, continue to take lives in the interest of helping others, continue to let your ego rule you -- if that's what you want to do.

It's about drawing a line someplace -- but the line isn't drawn in deciding who to kill, it's long before that. You chose trump, deaths are just following suit.

The massive headache from whatever that was is bad enough. But no crew (aka the handful of people I do trust) and having to replace my spare rig (among other things) is simply making things ten times worse at the moment.

Planning a job was one thing, this is ten times harder without people that get me.

With Kitty's help I've just set up a Home Economics class for anyone who would like to take it. I realize it's a little late in the year so the first set of students will be getting mostly cooking lessons. Once the next semester starts however I'll be going into more than just cooking and baking. I'll be going into nutrition, child development, consumer economics, household management, sewing, interior design and end with some family relationship talks as well. It's a great class for men or women who want to have a big family one day or even for people who just want to learn how to do more things around the house themselves.

Yes, everyone will be required to call me Mrs. Weasley even if my husband isn't here. I'm still a married woman!

Sign up for the course on this post and I'll get you added! If you'd like to take the full class next semester you can let me know here and you will be the first on my list of students.

Cheers!

Oh dear, Percy. I just heard about the girls being sent back. I'm coming by with a casserole.

Giles was still stuffy looking even when he was in his twenties. I wouldn't have imagined it any other way. I managed to snap a picture of him on my phone when he was glaring at me yesterday. He's claiming he's not going to be exiting his room at all this week because he doesn't want anyone to see him. I decided to remedy that problem so I can have my boss back at Whiddershins.

There's a lot of people who like to abuse the Carl Sagan quote about all of us being made out of stars - what they mean is, specifically, that the composition of the human body is made up of stardust. It's supposed to be optimistic; it's all "look how cosmic and inspirational even our body's make-up is" and I guess that's fine for some people, but it's one of those "everyone is special" impasses, because if it makes you feel better that you're made out of stardust, you should probably think of all the terrible people who were also made out of stardust, like Pol Pot and whoever killed Anastasia Nikolaevna and the evil capitalist pigs who invented Betty Crocker (she's not real; I just found that out today. Isn't that terrible?). Anyway, stardust is just every freakin' element ever on the periodic table except hydrogen, so--

Wait, storytime - I mean, let's tell a story, you know, about hydrogen. Hydrogen clumping together plus helium plus a lot of light makes a star. Elements are made out of what happens when that star explodes via a supernova, so all this "we're made out of stardust" business gets even nastier when you consider you're basically just covered in dead star guts, the natural consequences of the supernova, which, I don't understand why they didn't just call it a fantasticnova and the little ones averagenovas, but someone needed a reason to justify the gold star stickers they just bought their stock in I guess, or the scientific community was being chipper that day.

And that's my story about hydrogen.

Anyway, stardust makes up about 40% of the human body, given that we're on average composed of about 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms, and I am not making that number up, it's a real number, only I don't know how to say it and I don't know how to make the "to the nth power" on the keyboard right now, but I assure you that it's real. Stardust (or star guts) is the heaviest of elements in our body, so on average, you and Pol Pot have about 93% of your total mass as stars.

Also, I want to hit someone just to say I did. Who's ready?

Thinkin I'll just stay here in this tower. Cept I ain't gettin rid of the ranch. Got to thinkin it'll be good for visitin, spendin time at. Raise some animals. Home away from home.
