So… Dwarf-Charlie… and several female Charlies…
While most of the Charlies can be explained away as different choices in life, and at a push the “female” Charlies could hypothetically all be post-op trannies, there is no convenient explanation for how the more genetically aberrant Charlies could exist. Pushing the divergence back to points before conception cosmically increases the odds of the result NOT being a Charlie rather than being so, let alone being that different and yet still Charlie in any sense.
Incidentally… are there any Charlie-twins who aren’t themselves named Charlie (but still genetically identical) in there?
The Charlies are not all from the same plane, so there’s a huge wide variety that can exist. In one univerese, he’s born female, in most, he’s plain old Charlie, and you’re right, if the universe diverges, there will be a TON where there’s no Charlie at all, logically speaking. I tend to err in this story (despite relying a lot on theoretical science) toward the whole “cosmically ordained” idea when it comes to Charlie’s existence, which is a writer’s advantage to the plot, I suppose. Then again, speaking quite literally, if Charlie were to make a portal fixed in space and time, it’d be moving quite fast relative to the Earth, so some concessions have to be made for story. My main theory/framework is that his mind makes the portals stay moving relative to himself, and that the worlds he visits are subconsciously filled with existences where Charlie was there, in some way or another!
Hell yeah! Too cool for words guys!
Just a FEW Charlies there….
Nice Philippine flag hat in the foreground.
Is it just me, or is one of those Charlies clearly Clark Kent?
Not legally speaking, no! (Cough.)
hahaha Philippine flag..cool
What an absolute MindFuck that would be!
