I think Holmes also touched on the reality as a blanket or something
Well, thanks for trying to explain, guys.
shit BL says
Once and always and nevermore.
It's like a wallpaper deathmatch
except the wall is our world and the wallpaper options are AUs
I want to say, really hard, that THAT'S NOT HOW FUCKING PARALLEL UNIVERSES WORK
but hey, if Nasu says it is, who am I to say otherwise.
shit BL says
Once and always and nevermore.
It's how Nasu's parallel universes work
"Oh no this universe that has MAGIC in it doesnt work like the real world does"
gosh I am shocketh
To make this even more viseral
The world is an onion
The top layer has HUMAN ORDER written on it in Sharpie and Rhongo is like the navel of the onion that you cut off when you cut into the onion.
Some shit happened and someone threw ethanol on this onion so there's no more permanent marker.
And now there are toothpicks (fantasy trees) stabbed into the onion with pieces of paper saying YAGAZ RULEZ, SEA OF TREES, BLONDE CRYPTER BEST CRYPTER, HIGASHIDETRIESNOTTOOFFENDTHECHINESEAGAIN, etc
Those pieces of paper are lost belts.

It's the fact that you really shouldn't even be calling them parallel universes or pruned timelines or whatever at this point, but whatever, I can't feel the word abuse through the language barrier.
Besides, maybe it'll all make sense by the end of the chapter, who knows.
EDIT: I will also allow for the possibility that this all makes perfect sense and I'm just an idiot who doesn't get it. Slim, but there.

Yeah
Human Order literally IS the blanket

Thats bevause theyare not really parallel universes
Theyre adjacent worlds
Like, extella downright said them to not be universes. They are adjacent worlds within a universe.
You are kinda trying to equalize 2 similar but fundamentally different things. Misunderstanding again, i suppose.

I can understand the explanation, but then I try to reconcile this with the whole 'this is a parallel universe but simultaneously a part of this timeline that isn't an alternate universe and somehow multiple of those coexist at the same time* and will eventually wipe each other out because they're expanding (!)" and it's all starting to give me a headache.
*is time even advancing at this point? For whom? Does time even still exist when different timelines are somehow playing at go kart?

Time-chan is hard at work figuring out who inherits the blank sheet we call the earth
and they're not separate universes
pruned timelines makes perfect sense
the motif is that the universe is like a tree
parallel worlds make up the trunk of the tree
when they get too different they make separate branches
this is a no-go so they get pruned, gardening metaphor
Nasu universe is a bonsai plant
it's very nihonrashii

You can be not an idiot and still not get it.
This is p complicated stuffs when one go downright to it
But i just wanna say, no offense, but maybe fact checks first before demeaning something you heard about how the world works
Because uh sometime you sound downright ignorant when you complain about stuffs you dont actually know about for sure. Again, no offense.

See, you say "universe made up of parallel worlds" when as far as I know the word World implies an entire universe of its own. Hence there's no real difference between 'parallel world' and 'parallel universe' unless you're using the old fashioned and/or sentimental version of "entire world= just our planet" .

Aaand we're back to our regularly scheduled condescension, I knew something was missing.

Anyway, I'm gonna go sleep on this whole thing and possibly draw some diagrams to make sense of it later. As long as I don't dream of Gilgamesh again.

The difference is one is explicitly Universe and the other is explicitly Adjacent World
The word World dosnt imply universe at all in this context. World is World and Universe is Universe. To be specific, Universe of Awareness.
Context matters.

Yes aren't we snobs hohohoho
The World is just the world my guy, tucked in a snug blankie, pinned by (multiple I thought) towers who function as spears, and inside the world is all the cool fantasy stuff
and magma I imagine
