It's been explained to me before by a few people here that alternate worlds are simply a reality for them - that there are dimensions that supposedly run parallel to theirs, coexisting alongside them but not touching or crossing over at all, save by methods that are exceedingly difficult to master and control. Some of the Pokédex entries here seem to support this notion as well - there are mentions of things being able to tear open portals to parallel worlds and the like.
It's also come to my attention that a large amount of people here seem to share the same home world, just with different variations that may or may not be incredibly minor - a school in one world where it doesn't exist in another, a landmark that's slightly different, a renamed city, an event in history changing things ever-so-slightly such that one group of people exists or doesn't. It's not dissimilar to my own world's situation, when it's put that way - what happened with us is exactly that latter instance, actually, it's just that something diverged early on and as such things played out differently. However, it wasn't enough of a split to mean that some of us - myself, people I know, people I don't - don't exist in that other version of my world; we do, it's just that our lives and circumstances are different to account for the change.
If all of the above is true, then it makes me question - it's possible that all of our worlds are connected like that, even those that are drastically different, isn't it? If all worlds run parallel to one another, obviously no two are the same; there's been some sort of change that would warrant the separation in the first place. So if all worlds are variations on each other, those variations also have variations; isn't it possible that those worlds containing countries and races and abilities and practices that you've never heard of or dreamed possible are just further out from the source? Those are the worlds that have been filtered through more and more alternate scenarios until that particular set of circumstances was created.
Although if that's the case, then logically speaking, there should be one master world at the root of all of it - something that we can trace all of existence back to. I'm not saying that would be possible now, since for all we know that world is long dead; just the same, perhaps that world is what chooses us - what decides that we're the fortunate ones, the ones that have withstood the general test of being run through multiple scenarios and circumstances and not been killed or weeded out in the process.
It really is rude of me to make people sit through all of this, but it's something I've given a lot of thought to in the past, and it's been coming up time and again recently, so I thought I would revisit it. I've always found the notion that we were all born because some higher power decided we, specifically, needed to exist to fulfill a certain role in life to be farfetched and hackneyed; in my experience, God doesn't care what you do with yourself, as long as you're not upsetting the natural balance of the world. But I've always maintained that those who change the world have been chosen by the world in some way or another.
Who knows? What with proof that alternate worlds like this exist, maybe I'm right.

I'm not offended by that mindset in any case. I just wish I would have seen the betrayal coming.
Personally, all I wanted was to be rid of the master. I don't care about the world as a whole.

[KIMBLEE, FOR HELL'S SAKE]

I guess he should be grateful I didn't spike him like a volleyball into the ocean. I could have done that before he activated his arrays. Probably.
no subject
But just the same, I wouldn't take that stunt he pulled with Archer personally, were I you. He does what benefits him, nothing more; I doubt his thoughts on you had anything to do with it.
no subject
What I find fascinating is how compatible he and Archer were. You wouldn't think they would work as a team but I'm fairly certain they worked together quite well. Better than us homunculi at any rate.
With the exception of my counterpart, it sounds like the ones you know were fairly united in their goals.
[text/locked]
As it stands, however - yes, they were. With the exception of my world's Greed, I believe, but I may be wrong about that; again, we never really met.
no subject
When I spoke to him briefly, it seems he and I broke free for similar reasons. You can't have everything if the world is going to end, after all. My reasoning was a bit different but it's close enough that we could understand that much.
From what I've been able to learn here, the alliance in my own world collapsed shortly after my death. Loyalty out of naiveté isn't the same thing as genuine loyalty to a cause.
If we look at this as our worlds being mirrors of each other, maybe it was some attempt to see what would happen if the seven had individualistic goals that outweighed the leader's own.
no subject
Through curiosity, what do you consider the other homunculi in relation to yourself?
no subject
The others were simply there. The Lust here is someone who I understand incredibly well despite not having known her for long.
With the exception of myself, we were gathered up whenever she became aware of an alchemist attempting something monumentally selfish and for that reason I believe we have different perspectives than the ones in your world.

...That didn't stop them from doing things like eating one another, mind you.
no subject
So we're not completely different from one another.
no subject
It was mostly Pride who would do the...ah, "consuming." He said it was simply returning Father's creation to the source - which made sense, for a given degree of "making sense," but Pride's logic was never one I subscribed to.
no subject
We come from beyond the Gate, something that isn't true for the ones you worked with. The only one who can "consume" is Gluttony. The rest of us aren't exactly capable of what you're talking about, I don't think. And even then I think it would take a hell of a lot of convincing to get Gluttony to eat a fellow homunculus.
