#writing time

So last year I wrote this piece for my Minimum Standards Practise Test. I got level 4 (The Highest) and was pretty proud of my result. Anyways here it is. The question asked was “If you could go back in time where would you go”

So, you want to know where I would go if I was given the opportunity to travel back in time? At first glance, I might’ve said something along the lines of; ‘To reconcile with my past self’ or 'To watch a large historical event take place’. Alas, this question requires a larger quantity of thought than that. The question refers to you as going back in time, not stating whether or not you could go back to where you began. If the offer was to go back and not return to the exact point of which you left I would not go anywhere. Let’s assume for the following that it also included the ability to go forward, how many times would I be able to move fluidly through time. If I get one chance, one moment to go back and glimpse at myself the smartest act would be to preserve my chance, so when I lay cold and full on my deathbed I can go back in time and watch my happiest moment play through my head one last time.

But! But, but, but, but! Say I was given more than one chance to fluidly fold through the veil of time, my choice would be very different. Sure I would go back and watch everything play out, I have a rule not to change any events, but after that what would I do? Now we come to another question, am I travelling alone? If Doctor Who is anything to go off then travelling by oneself might become empty and tiresome. Although if I was alone there is one thing I would do. I would test time and her laws myself. Travelling through time I would test theories, change minor events and see how much I can do before time snaps. Can two of the exact same beings exist at the same time? What happens if I kill something in the future and bring it to the past, what effect would that have on the future? Alas if I did do this I would be driven to complete my final question. What happens to me if I kill myself in the past?

It’s quite clear to see that sending me back in time alone is a very bad idea but there is one last and final question you must ask about the situation, can I choose where I come out? If I could fluidly travel back and to the point I left in time, if I could travel with a partner and if I could travel more than once then can I have the ability of teleportation ingrained into that? This question is vital as if you went back in time and found yourself, in a hostile place, inside a mountain as the ground level changes over time, your body contorted into a tree as one has existed where you stood or witch no currency and no way to travel the entire aspect of time travel is completely ruined. Unless you could somehow see the exact place that you are going to at that exact point in time so your body would still remain whole I would not travel at all.

Although I did say the previous question was my 'last question’ there are so many more that must be addressed before even attempting to go through time. A main one of which is how will you get there and in what form? On the topic of 'how’ I refer as to whether this is an ability, you can do with your mind or an ability you can do with a vehicle or enclosure. Inside an enclosed area would be the safest way to travel if you could bend around time. Bend around the objects that are there at that time and completely prevent the last problem from even existing. Although the form is very important too. Will I be able to touch things or simply spectate in a ghostly apparition. Not being able to touch things would ruin most of my plans.

Now that my queries have been addressed I would like to give you the answer you’ve been waiting for all this time. if i could go back in time, bend around the objects that are there, influence and touch the world, travel with others, be able to teleport, control where I go from my mind without an enclosure, travel to the moment I started at, do it more than once and see where I would appear directly before I do I would explore the wonders of the world. I would grow old with a friend, I would show artists how great they became, I would see the paths of history truly play out as they happened, I would be the mysterious stranger know throughout time for helping others. I would become a myth, a hero, a legend. I wouldn’t go back in time and change the person that I am, I would go back and help people. Because if my deepest desire is to go and help, I wouldn’t need to change a thing.

First of all. So. Many. Messages. 

Seriously overwhelmed with all the love here! I’m gradually working my way through all my messages, but it might take a little time. So I’m gonna keep getting out responses as best as I can. I didn’t realise just how many there were. The Tumblr App hadn’t alerted me to as much as I realised were waiting in my inbox. 

It’s been such a long time and I guess I should really call it a hiatus. I didn’t want to admit to myself that it was a hiatus, but I should have known really given that I kept putting off even coming on Tumblr for so long. 

So in the last year, things have been really hectic, especially on an emotional level, which might account for some of my absence. I’ve tried to keep focused on other things, such as my store, fitness etc. and sadly, the one thing which ended up being neglected was the exact thing that I thrive on. Writing is what I am passionate about more than anything in this world and I have let that slide, even though it is the one thing that really makes me proud of myself. I’ve been so sad to have gotten to the point where I’ve almost been afraid to get back into it, not just head-canons, but working on a book that I am hoping to get published, which is my biggest dream. 

So I finally bit the bullet and came back on here tonight in the determination to get back to where I used to be. Posting frequently, writing for the Voltage Fandom and writing my book! 

Thank you so much to all my lovely followers, I cannot believe I’m up to 1600 odd followers. It’s just insane and I couldn’t be any more grateful to each and every one of you for bearing with me, for sharing my writing and continuing to praise it. Some of the note numbers on my posts are just ridiculous and it’s just given me the warmest feeling. 

I am aware that I have a HUGE backlog of requests, some of which are still in my inbox and unanswered. So I will be getting on those ASAP. They will be my first priority for now along with the odd new request if it particularly catches my attention and inspires me. 

Right now, I’ll likely be sticking with existing characters that I’ve written on before. I’m not sure what new routes I’ll be reading. There’s been 2 or 3 new apps since I last played properly, plus new characters in existing apps I played so I’m at a bit of a loss where to start regarding that. 

If you have any recommendations or are dying to see me start posting regarding a particular voltage game and/or guy, then drop me a message in my inbox and I’ll do my best to check it out :) 

I think that’s about everything for now. But really, truly, thank you to everyone who has had something kind to say about my writing. You’ve kept me smiling in all the time I’ve been on Tumblr, encouraging me and ultimately, it’s brought me back. So thank you <3 

Much love!
