On the origins of Not-things[[edit source]]
The article says that the not-things originated in the Void (and I should know, seeing as I'm the one who wrote this part). However, I've literally just realised that the Black Void seems like an equally likely candidate for the not-thing "homeworld". The void beyond the edge of the universe in the episode appears to be black, and the Black Void is also said to be "a place where things that didn’t exist howled and raged against their nothingness". This would fit the nature of the not-things as non-existent entities that want to exist. Thoughts? Xbsv ☎ 14:00, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
