Time Ripped

CW: Death, Graphic Imagery in final quote

Time ripped is one of the most horrendous curses imaginable. Those that mess with time are torn from reality itself, and flung in all directions at once. Experiencing one's birth, death, and life events simultaneously and infinitely, the curse will never let go of its grasp.

Only the most powerful witches are capable of altering the timeline, and time ripped is very rarely seen. Typically, those cursed with time ripped hide away from others, to avoid eternal confusion and grief on both sides.

Symptoms

Please, help me.
— Time ripped witch

The single symptom of time ripped is experiencing one's life out of order. Those that mess with the timeline caused ripples in their own life, meaning they will experience past and future events at the wrong times.

Natural Order

The Natural Order is not to be messed with. Timelines should not be reversed or altered, and doing so has devastating effects. Decay must follow growth, and death must always follow life. Reincarnations are a crime against the Natural Order, and can induce time ripped.

Various entities around the realms of the Yonderverse are in charge of maintaining the Natural Order. Time Wards are inter-dimensional soldiers who's sole presence is to fix mistakes in the timeline. Other inanimals aid in this mission, such as floral wisps.

I died, five minutes ago. It was so painful. I can still hear... my screams. Those final moments, alone, in a quiet corridor somewhere. Middle of the night.   And then I was at home. Again, quiet. Alone. And then I felt it all over again. The blood dripping from my mouth as I sunk to the cold floor. Looking down at my hands and seeing death.   Why did I do this.

Man, that first quote was ominous af! But that made it all the better! Probably says something about me that I found this more fascinating than scary XD But this is cool as hell.

Nice or better horrofying idea.
One question, though: While you wrote that time rippled endure this curse infinitely, they do witness their death (besides other things) over and over again, which would indicate that there must be a point in time when they stop to exist, the point when they die for real and not just experience it. Am I right in this conclusion?

You've taken a trope of time travel stories, the person unstuck in time experiencing their life in the wrong order, and really brought the horror of it home. Creepy and evocative! I also love your layout, you're using this style template to its fullest!

As per standard, your articles are just fantastic and thorough. I'm surprised because I'm still getting used to the darker side of the Yonderverse, but I am 100% here for it. Well done.

the fact that reincarnations can cause time ripped reminds me of that trope where a person does anything they can to bring back someone they love (like Orpheus), and given that this can induce time ripped, it makes for a fantastically horrifying spin on that. Imagine bringing your loved one back only for them to be dealt a fate far worse than death as a result.

oh gosh, that sounds *horrifying*, I wish I had thought of that!

Scary. I love how the quotes contributed so much to the horror of this curse. I'd love to know more about what these witches are doing that lead to time ripping themselves

thank you so much! I've got a witchcraft article in the works, maybe I can talk more about it! :D
