STAY OFF MY TERRITORY - Time Travel in Lore Olympus (feat. Springlock, our resident time traveller)

AH YES. TIME TRAVEL. BUILDING COFFEE TABLES FROM IKEA. BOTH A MESS, BOTH SOMETHING YOU SHOULD NEVER ATTEMPT EVEN AS A GAG.

THERE WILL BE FASTPASS SPOILERS IN THIS ANALYTICAL DISSECTION OF LORE OLYMPUS' TIME TRAVEL !!!

Let's establish the "time travel" in LO first of all - it's briefly introduced by Hecate, who says that Hades isn't in a 'where' but a 'when' , hahahaha i so love time travel jokes /s THIS ISN'T A LAUGHING MATTER-

We had already covered this in the criticisms that Kronos' 'dream comas' would have been better allocated to his time travel abilities, and it seems now Rachel is trying to make that a reality at the last possible minute. I'm going to completely tear apart that reality to present to you why it doesn't work in LO.

Aw, Kronos' time abilities are finite? Get on my level, sir.

The caveat is the existential toll that time travel takes on the jumper, and the fact that in most cases, it's impossible to perform due to paradoxes. And Lore Olympus' time travel presents a lot of paradoxes. No wonder Kronos went crazy, I'm going crazy just thinking about everything that's wrong with this.

So Hades is trapped 'somewhere' in time. This isn't something I haven't seen before, but the issue it presents is getting someone back to their present time, as it presents the first paradox -

PARADOX #1 - There are no accidents. If someone is to jump into a timeline outside of their own, even if by 'accident', that would still have to be predestined by the timeline itself. This is in line with the grandfather paradox, which I will let the almighty Google define for us all to keep things brief:

You cannot travel back in time 'by accident'. If you were to travel back in time, it would have been written into the script of reality already, so any effects caused by your jumping would be purposeful, even if they seem like 'accidents' to you - such as becoming your own grandfather, Philip J Fry.

Moving on, in the most recent FastPass episode, Melinoe reveals that she was taken from her timeline by Kronos.

PARADOX #2 - Which version of Kronos took her? Was it the present version travelling into the future to take her from her timeline into his present? Or was it some future version of Kronos who has escaped yet again at some point in the future and then travelled back into the past to interfere with the events of the current present, possibly in an attempt to rewrite the script? If it's the latter, this means that Hera and Persephone can't feasibly stop Kronos indefinitely, as to stop Kronos would mean that he wouldn't exist in the future to take Melinoe from her future timeline and thus this present timeline of events would cease to exist. If we want to get even more granular with it, 'present' Kronos is still 'past' Kronos as it's the Kronos from ten years ago who got his hands on a deity to help him mess with people's dreams, and that deity has been revealed to be Melinoe, who would have had to be ripped from some point in their future timeline. This falls in line with a temporal paradox, or as most people know it, the 'kill baby Hitler' paradox, which designates that one cannot go back in time to kill baby Hitler, as killing baby Hitler would remove all the subsequent events that would lead up to you deciding to build a time machine and go back in time to kill baby Hitler.

Melinoe claims she's only been here a few days. That would be all well and good, as time is funny like that - I've done my fair share of jumps into the distant past only to return a few minutes later - but what doesn't line up is the present timeline of events that would only work unless she's actually been trapped for longer than a few days.

PARADOX #3 - So it's only been a few days, but Hades and Persephone have known about this child trapped in Tartarus for weeks, and we know Kronos has had her since the dream diving arc back near the end of S2. So unless Kronos is simply jumping to different points in time to cause shenanigans - which leads to even MORE paradoxes as you feasibly cannot travel to your own past to change it due to it creating a different future - then it can't have only been a 'few days' for Melinoe, it would have been at least a few weeks, giving some wiggle room to the past events of her appearing before Hades in his dreams due to her being the goddess of nightmares. Kronos escaping Tartarus after using Melinoe to put people to sleep and possess them was not something that happened in a pocket dimension, it was very real and very present.

Hades commits an even bigger sin, however, and the biggest issue with this 'time travel' plotline:

PARADOX #4 - I truly hope 'home' means 'home point in her timeline' and not their literal home. Hades and Persephone cannot take Melinoe, for two reasons: they haven't had their daughter yet, and the future timeline versions of Hades and Persephone need their daughter back. If Hades and Persephone were to adopt this version of Melinoe in their present timeline, it would create a clone paradox, as they would have a duplicate Melinoe from the future, OR it would create the grandfather paradox if they opted not to try for a child knowing they already have Melinoe which would erase the whole sequence of events that led to future Melinoe's birth in the first place.

Ultimately Lore Olympus' time travel suffers from the same issue many time travel stories suffer from - not having consistent rules. It is choosing now , near the finale of the series, to introduce time travel, rather than establishing it back in Season 1 when Kronos was first hinted at. It's also still not clear in what Hades' role is in this, as him being taken to a 'when' could still be read as a dream sequence rather than actual time travel. After all, Kronos supposedly "exhausted" his time travelling powers centuries ago - surely as a way for Rachel to have her cake and cover for the fact that she's had Kronos in the series since S1 and never actually had him do what he's known for - but now she's trying to eat it too by just giving him his time travel powers again for no reason besides rewriting the dream diving finale from S2 but with ambiguous time travel instead.

It's all a huge mess and the best thing I can do for myself is simply not let it keep me up at night. I have enough time travelling problems to worry about as it is. I will be sticking to the Austin Powers method -

(I am not enjoying myself.)

MC disappearing after finding out she is pregnant pt. 1

———————————————

Type: Headcanon

Before reading: As a base after finding out let’s say MC moved to a quiet area of Loveland City and she has a 7 years old daughter Eleanor. She still works at her company but mostly from home and usually just approved projects.

Attention: Only Eleanor is my character everything else is credited to the Mr Love Team!

Warning: Might contain spoilers!

———————————————

Victor

The life literally got knocked out of him

You insisted you want to stay home because you have been throwing up in the past couple days

It wouldn’t be a problem if only he would find you at home when he returns from work

Your clothes from the closet is gone, every belonging of yours is gone, it’s like you never lived here

He tries to reach you in every way possible but no use. He asked your co-workers, your friends even Lucien if he knows where you might be. But nothing

He can’t lose you again. He searched for you for so many years. You can’t disappear from his life again. The love of his life, the woman who saved him from a lightning bolt not once, but twice. You can’t be gone again

And the procedure starts again. Like last time Victor does every possible thing to find you. If it takes him another 17 years, so be it

Seven years goes by and still nothing from you. Sometimes you hear informations from Anna about Victor and your heart skips a beat everytime. You would love to go back to him but you can’t

Victor is a well known man in the financial market, a surprise baby can majorly damage his status. And you don’t want that, especially if the mother of his child is his employee

One day your daughter comes home from school, eyes are red, cheeks are puffy as she jumps off the school bus and sprinting into your arms sobbing

You soon learn your little angel is bullied because she doesn’t have a daddy

“Mommy, why I don’t have a daddy? Everyone in class has.” She hiccups the words and each of them like an arrow, jab into your soul. After calming her down, you tell her she actually has a daddy, and will visit him first thing tomorrow

The next day you two take a bus and head to the LFG building. You clutch your little girl’s hand as she happily bouncing next to you,blabbering everything what gets into her head

But you are a nervour wreck. What will the meeting be like? Will they get along? Will Victor be mad at you for running away? Will he like her? These thoughts disturbing your mind until you realize you two arrived to LFG

As you walk to the elevator you hear whispers and catch glances as people eyeing you and your daughter. You push the button and bring yourselves to the level Victor’s office is. As usual the level of his office is quiet, people only come here when he orders them to

You walk to the door of his office, your hands shaking and sweating. You stand there for a long time untill you hear a knock. You snap back to see, your daughter’s small fist is banging on the wooden door

“Come in!” Your hear Victor’s stern voice, the voice you haven’t heard for so many years. “Come in!” you hear his voice again, but this time it’s a little bit annoyed

You put yourself together and with a halt you open the door entering his office

Oh, boy. As Victor sees who entered, he got so shocked he accidentally stopped time

He looks at you and then the little girl next to you who are awfully looks just like him. Jet black hair, the same facial features. But the eyes. Her eyes are yours. Big, big brown eyes

“MC?” Your name slips through his lips. For a long moment you three say nothing, untill you crutch down and say:

“Eleanor, you see that man over there? He is your daddy.” You say loud enough for him to hear too

Daddy? As he tries to process what just happened, the girl runs up to him and hugs him. It takes Victor several minutes to understand and hug her back tightly

After the reunion you explain him your actions and reasons why you disappeared. He listens to you, not interrupting at all

“MC. My status and reputation are the least important thing when it comes to you. I love you dearest, never forget that.”

You can be sure now he is the proudest CEO and father in the entire world. You are here, safe and sound and you gave him a family

Eleanor is the flower girl on your wedding. No one can take that position

Gavin

Birdcop.exe stopped working

Literally, if his head doesn’t start to redden he deadass forgets to breathe

Where are you? Why aren’t you at home?

WHERE ARE YOU?!

With your disappearence he stopped functioning. When you left, you ripped a big part of his soul out and carried it away with you

Ever since he tries to find that missing part

Reports, news, surveillance cameras, everything what can give a clue where you might be

Almost beating up Minor, what does it mean he doesn’t know we’re you are?!

You see the flyers and reports here and there as he desperately tries to find you. And it pains you to the core

But you can’t tell him where you are. It gives you sleepless nights knowing he suffers more than you are

He is the captain of the Special Devision and one of the best agent at STF. In this high position you can risk his reputation with a kid

One day, an elementary school class takes a field trip to Loveland Police Station and it happened to be your daughter’s class

As the bunch of little kids walked around in the office a tiny girl stops at Gavin’s desk

“Hi!” She waves eagerly a ginkgo bracelet jingling on her wrist as she does. Gavin looks up from his paperwork and the first thing what caught his eyes is the so familiar beacelet

“What are you doing?” Her questions snaps him out of his thoughts. “I’m doing my paperwork.” He musters out the answer, eyes still fixed on the bracelet

“Do you like my bracelet?” She ask and carefully looks around. “Come closer I’m telling you a secret.” Her little hands gestures him to bent over and she whisperes into his ear:

“My mommy said this beacelet has a magical power. If I wear it all the time, the guardian of this bracelet will sense it in the wind and will protect me.”

It’s no question from that moment Gavin immediately bonded with her. He showed her how things works in this place, he even let her stamp some document what her classmate watched with jealousy

“Eleanor, it’s time to go your mother is here!” The teacher calls the girl.

“Mommy!” She runs to you and immediately starts to rant about her day. “And today I met an AWESOME police officer! He let me help with his work! Look! He is there!” She points at Gavin

Your breath hitches, in Gavin’s hand the documents slips out falling down in a big clatter

“Honey what if you stay here a little? Mommy needs to talk to that officer. I’ll be right back.” You say. After minutes of explanation why she can’t come with you she agrees and joins her friends.

You and Gavin go to a silent and private place and as soon as you two are alone, he wraps you in his arms and caught you off guard with a passionate kiss, what you can’t help but melt into

He then silently envelops you in a hug. You two stay like this until a wave goes through Gavin and his body is shaking with choked sobs. You are here with him in his arms. He found his missing part, it’s like he come back to the fresh air after so many years of suffocating

As you hear his quiet sobs, seven years of bottled up feelings erupts in you and you can’t help but cry too, soaking up his uniform with your tears

Gavin comes back to his senses first, hebpulls away from you, caressing your cheeks, his thumbs wiping away every tears you shed

“It’s okay. I’m here.” He says looking at your eyes, what are red from crying with his also red ones. And it makes you cry even more. You yell at him why he comforts you while you should be the one doing that. Then a wave of apology leaves your lips, explaining everything from the part 7 years

“My work and everything else I am passionate about is one thing. But you are my everything. I don’t care what people thinks about me as long as you and our daughter are here with me.”

Phew this gonna be long af... part 2 with Kiro and Lulu comes soon, stay tuned, I hope you like it so far!!! 💕
