tidstro

Tidstro is a term that emerged from a specific online community and refers to a particular type of fictional scenario or narrative. It is often used to describe a situation where a character or group of characters experiences a significant, unexpected, and often profound change in their understanding of time, reality, or their own existence. This change is typically triggered by an external event or discovery, leading to a shift in perspective that can be both disorienting and illuminating.

The core concept of tidstro involves a disruption of the normal flow or perception of time, often leading to a realization about the transient nature of things or the interconnectedness of events across different temporal planes. While the term originated in a specific context, its usage can be generalized to describe any narrative that explores themes of temporal paradox, altered perception of reality, or the existential implications of understanding time in a non-linear fashion. It's not a formally recognized academic term but rather a piece of online vernacular used to categorize and discuss a certain set of narrative tropes. The emphasis is on the feeling of revelation and the subsequent re-evaluation of what was previously understood to be true.
