I like the post 15 yarn ball, with the "Only you can keep your time line straight", because I think that gets to the heart of what this trope is about better than the post 22 ball.
derflatermouse.Don't mind me, but I like the current image why? Since Timey Wimey ball itself is confusing the image shows how confusing it is.
Should we get a crowner for this one?
I also prefer the post 15 spoof aesop.
Yeah, start the crowner.
derflatermouse.Crowner's up...did I catch the main ones?
Holy crap...I'd say it's pretty safe to call this, but since it's the weekend we can let it run til Monday.
I figure the caption will be the more complex choice.
Agreed; we need to be discussing options.
So far we got:
- Only you can keep your time line straight.
- We're not entirely sure "Past" should be before "Future."
- "Wait, did somebody switch the labels again?"
- Wait, is that one the past? Gah! These timelines all look the same!
- Time is like a ball of yarn. It's linear, like yarn. Flexible like yarn and err... blue like yarn.
Since the trope is about internal consistency in time travel in a work, I prefer the Fantastic Aesop.

I'm good with that one.
My only gripe about the Fantastic Aesop is that I'm not sure you can.
^ You can what?
I doubt you can keep your timeline straight, however you may want to.
Alright, the margin on this is enough that we can go ahead and call it. Should we hook a new crowner for the captions?
I guess not. The Fantastic Aesop caption is added; locking up.
Crown Description:
Timey Wimey Ball
That one.
Things of mine keep getting deleted. I curse too much.
