No-clipping.

What a funny little word.

It is referenced all the time here

It seems important. An amazing way to travel. To the wanderer 's benefit or detriment. Sometimes accidental or unexpected. Sometimes hoped for.

What I may have missed in all of this is….

What does it feel like?

What do you see or hear or feel or taste or smell when it happens?

Is it like when you begin to go to sleep and you feel like you are falling?

Is it like dropping down floors in a high-speed elevator?

Is it like falling?

Is the duration based on distance?

Does it make you feel queasy?

Do you lose your balance when you land?

No-clipping.

What a funny little word

Here's the funny thing.

There's no… set definition, not yet at least. I've seen people define it as phasing through matter, others describe it more like teleportation, and some claim it's moving in the 4th dimension, whatever that means.

I suppose it's up to the reader/author to come up with answers.

Personally I see no-clipping as phasing through a set object either at will (which requires skill and willpower), or, mainly, at random. Say you stick your hand through a wall and it goes right through it. In my headcanon, you can't feel that part of your body. Sure, you can move it around, but your nerves aren't working right.

When your whole body goes through, I think that you just fall. Are you falling? Are you rising upwards? Are you getting flung side to side? Who knows! To me you just feel like you're falling, feeling the wind rush past you, and then boom; you're in the next location.

Just my take, at least.

no clipping for me, i imagine, it feels like you are stuck in wet sand, and you are paralyzed, you cant feel anything or see anything, its completely sense numbing, and you only can regain all five of your sense when you stop no-clipping

I think that it would feel like your Soul leaving your body, for just a second; like whether its accidental or intentional its a bit disorienting, but you would get used to it over time.

When I imagine no-clipping, I just think of falling through a wall. Done in less than 5 words. But to really define my view of the subject, I have to get into more detail.

Instead of just "a wall that isn't there", I think of it more like a portal. You can't phase in and out, as soon as you hit that wall, you're out like a light and just as soon you're back. But somewhere else. In the speedrunning definition of no-clipping, you can't just come back the way you came. Another piece to put into play is the fact that these usually happen on unbalanced and tilted areas, mostly corners. I don't think you could just fall. I think it would take being forcefully thrown into a corner or tilted plane of some sort and blacking out for less than a second, to wake up here, in The Backrooms.

From the view of witnesses, it would appear as the person that no-clipped was "glitching", falling straight through but not. If the witness were to touch the area the person no-clipped into, it would remain solid, as I believe no-clips would only take place when reality is bugged for a split second, with a person destined to fall straight into that bug and out the other end. This scenario, to have these astronomically inconsistent events happen at the same time and place is a coincidence, but also "a fate foretold in the stars".

Welp. That's my take on the matter. Great question, Robert! Side note: Is there an official spelling? "Noclip" or "No-clip"? Have a nice life. -Iamalemon

My "Take" on No-clipping

from Anne's Lament (1 of 3) Tale:

Like learning to open your eyes underwater, Amy Cochrane mastered consciousness and sight during no-clipping. The world turned translucent, almost transparent, and shot by like a roller coaster, in every possible direction, while you felt that you were actually moving in slow motion. What a rush!

My take is kinda boring, I imagine that once you no clip, you simply black out for a few seconds.
For a more cooler version, I imagine you kinda transport between realities and you see the world slowly transform into where you're going.

Here's my take on no-clipping:

There are two types of no-clipping; accidental and purposeful.
In accidental no-clipping, you fall. You can fall down, sideways, or even up, but you still feel like you're falling. Your stomach drops as if on a roller coaster, and then suddenly, you stop. Due to sensory confusion, you may feel nausea, and begin to throw up (nice meal for the rats, eh?).
If you purposely no-clip, it's like you're doing parkour. This takes a large amount of willpower and is likely to tire the Wanderer that manages to begin mastering this art (Possible Entity there: Escorters). As with most things, this becomes easier over time, and if you visit one level enough, you can tell the location of a no-clip point when it isn't in your line of sight, like a radar.

I have so many questions about no-clipping.

Does becoming skilled at no-clipping increase or decrease the chance of accidentally no-clipping? Or is there no relation between the two?

Is it possible to get a relatively good grip on no-clipping? Is it possible it relax, let go, and live peacefully in a safe area of backrooms at all? Or should you always be prepared to randomly glitch into some hostile hellscape at the slightest misstep or for no reason at all?

What exactly prevent you from no-clipping back into the front rooms? If it were possible would you be able to apply the skill learnt in the backrooms in the front rooms?
