tma time travel au but instead of explaining anything jon and martin spend the entire time in a heated debate over whether it’s actually time travel or dimensional travel, and whether there’s a meaningful difference between the two.
Jon: It’s dimensional travel; that’s even what Annabelle said it was, and Anya Villette proved that different universes can be moving faster or slower than each other. We’re clearly just in a universe that hasn’t yet caught up to ours.
Martin: We haven’t seen any differences between where we are now and what we lived! if it’s another dimension, it’s indistinguishable from our past, so what’s the point in thinking of it differently?
Jon: The point is that if it’s not time travel, then we left behind another world rather than overwriting it, and furthermore-
Tim, who just asked if they wanted anything from the bakery:
Sasha: wait did you mention something about the apocalypse? can we go back to that?
Jon, standing and pacing: -and if it were time travel then we’d be in constant danger of paradoxes, something that clearly-
Martin, also standing and red in the face: Paradoxes?! You said yourself that the entities work on dream logic, not physics! If we time traveled, which we did, we could simply assume that-
Jon, gesturing wildly to past Jon and Martin, who have not spoken a single word through all of this: Then how do you explain them?! It has to be dimensional travel because we’re doubled up! If this was time travel we’d have simply assumed their places!
Martin: No, because in Back To The Future-
Jon: Did you just cite Back To The fucking Future at me-
