Hot take inspired by a post by [personal profile] sigmaleph: the Infinite Loops crossover fanfic setting is fiction’s best portrayal of what a “utility monster” would look like, and the reason so much Infinite Loops fic is fucked-up beyond belief is because folks don’t really want to address or discuss that concept even while they portray it.

(Basically, every world requires a particular individual to remain alive and sane across untold eons, and if that person does horrible shit, at least the world continues to exist.)

Most participants--some would say victims--in the Infinite Loops embrace a continuity of identity. What’s real is what’s always true, and what changes each time is false. One boy takes a very different approach. (Not based on any existing series.)

My name is Ethan Wilson, and I’m going to die on this rooftop.

I’d like to propose a new Malevolent Looping Entity. He doesn’t want to be a god, and he has no interest in petty sadism. His goal is nothing less than the destruction of Yggdrasil itself, as vengeance for everything it’s put him through. His name is Thomas Timberwolf.

The Infinite Loops: characters who don't appear in canon change in each Loop. Each new instantiation is effectively a new person.

Me: Okay, but what if a canon Looper fell in love with one of these people, and then she was erased in the next Loop? And then he went on an epic quest to bring her back and make her a Looper as well . . .

*I am forcibly sent to the Eiken loop before I can come up with canon/OC shipping*

Me: Okay, but are there any characters in Eiken who are fun or interesting? What if a Looper fell in love with an Eiken character, and he kept getting sent to Eiken on purpose so he could see her?

*This time, I’m dumped off in Ren and Stimpy*
