Don’t worry, Ralph. It won’t hurt. You won’t even register it happening.
Never Forget. Please dear god don't forget

If there’s nothing left of Ralph, had he ever even existed to begin with?

“I’m scared,” says Ralph.
But I am an author, and take control of this story. Ralph does not understand fear. His existence was short, his history nonexistent, his understanding of the world and his place within it unreal, characterized by the agony of going from non-being, to screaming awareness all in an instant.
The author has returned Ralph to the imaginary realm from which he sprang, freeing him, and any unwitting victims who witnessed his short, confusing reality.
Truly, the only monster here was the first narrator, a casual god who created Ralph only to serve as an instrument of suffering.

I’ve always wanted to run a Rick and Morty-esque Dungeons & Dragons game where the characters are asynchronistic / from a non-D&D universe, and are aware that they’re stuck in a game that only exists in the minds of the players. Their main role, apart from surviving, is figuring out how to continue existing, or escape the game altogether. Meanwhile the D&D universe, as usual, is going through some fucked up shit with monsters and evil assholes.
I haven’t figured out a mechanism for how they might be able to “escape” yet though lol. Maybe defeating the BBEG sends them back to their own universe somehow?
TenSoon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
After besting the BBEG, they discover a set of plans for 3d printable minis. You could print/order them printed and have them ready to hand out after the campaign, or if its a long-distance game, distribute the 3d files so the players can print them themselves.
Bam, they’re given physical form that can persist beyond just memory. Monkeys paw-esque twist: they can now be used for other D&D campaigns with more monsters and evil assholes.
gibmiser@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They don’t- they figure out how to send copies of themselves back, but the originals can never return.
Allows for closure and for the characters to persist in the world for more adventures.

Yes but Ralph can always exist again by reposting this meme.
Ralph can live longer than me, in theory, he is immortal.

If I constantly start and stop thinking about Ralph, is the end result some kind of existential waterboarding?
AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 2 months ago
Every Ralph you think about after you stop thinking about the previous Ralph is a new Ralph, completely independent from the previous Ralph event.
Is it genocide if you are also creating the Ralphs that you kill?
Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
No, that’s called being God

It’s OK Ralph, you’ve been reposted do often that you have a long life ahead of you

Ralph, you privileged piece of shit. You don’t know what fear is.

This is only true if everyone reading the image has problems moving material from short-term to long-term memory.
ricdeh@lemmy.world 2 months ago
But don’t we expect different Ralphs to exist in each of our minds and memories? My Ralph will probably have ceased to exist by tomorrow.
glitchdx@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Ralph is a character, not a person. He never existed in the first place.

Don’t worry folks. I have looked this stick figure in the eye with an apologetic half smile.
