im serious the thing is being a time guy like actually MASTERING time travel im pretty sure what that involves is learning to never use it see its like karate well its more like what they SAY about karate that you learn it so you dont use it but i mean we all know the truth about karate is if you know karate then obviously in reality you use it all the time like doing lethal fuckin crane kicks and sweet karate chops while walking down the street just cause you can its a god damn no brainer thats what you do with karate but see with time travel all the stuff about learning it so you dont have to use it is true theres no good that can come of it you can crunch the logic on the loops all you want but all youre doing is painting yourself into a corner creating inevitabilities you have to rehearse and enact or face death for yourself or everyone you know and sometimes facing death is the very inevitability you have to rehearse and then you wait and wait knowing its coming and knowing it has to happen how do you think it made me feel when we were gathering up all those frogs and i knew the whole time in a little while you would have to watch me get shot but i couldnt say anything or it would mess it all up all cause i thought it would be cool to be marty mcfuckin fly but instead of shredding johnny b goode on guitar to get my parents to bang my crowning performance was doing a funny dance while getting pumped full of lead ...... then i had to leave everyone behind and get into the delorean and return to the 1980s but the delorean was actually a big purple moon and the 1980s was me accidentally reaching god tier and living on a shitty meteor for a while and i guess rose was doc brown doc brown accidentally reached god tier too ok i guess this is where the analogy falls apart but you get what i mean sorry dave, you lost me there after the part where i shot you damn ok lemme start over omg, no! the fact is youre going to have to rely on those powers if you want to stand any chance against a lord of time it is safe to expect he can only be challenged by someone with a similar command over the aspect why is that safe to expect where are all these presumptions coming from if you can use swords why dont you take the welsh cueball sword and fight him yourself i bet you could fuck him up youre probably even more extra strong now that youve succumbed to the bark side did you ever think about that dave i am perfectly aware of the awesome powers granted to me by the bark side it does not matter i cant be the one to wield your sword against english it has to be you it is the will of the empress, and thats final the empress can suck it i have no intention of fighting him and this isnt even me pulling more lame self aware reluctant hero junk i am just straight up not going to do it see thats not reluctance its just petulant refusal on my part reluctant hero shit is when the guys like aw shucks i dunno if i wanna but deep down we all know he really does but i really dont why should i i dont give a damn about lord english or his nebulous atrocities out in nowherespace what kind of villain is someone you never met who hardly did anything evil to you or your friends directly or even to anyone in your universe for that matter other than through some vague insidious influence who even is this guy and why should i hate him am i really supposed to be pissed off at a green muscle monster i never met cause i aint pissed off at no muscle monster hell wasnt he in some ass backwards way responsible for us existing in the first place? or all of humanity for that matter?? maybe i should thank him before chopping him up via welshscalibur
