6735 is rose being surprised and asking 'dave what are you doing' and the next panel has her look at dirk in the middle of draining the realness from pre-scratch vriska and he's translucent and she's having the ghost ripped out of her so... shit maybe he is trying to make himself real by stealing her realness because vriska is always vriska?) - (moving this to homestuck speculation but i'm thinking now about how equius was the horse guy who made robot parts for everyone and then DIRK and JAKE were the robot guys but really it was always POPPOP who made the robots so all that thunder is stolen valor? again, THIEF, being a THIEF of HEARTS is a fun classpecting...) (ROGUE of HEART (robin hood of shipping) vs MAGE of HEART (makes shipping irrelevant by having a relationship that transcends the quadrants) vs PRINCE of HEART (destroys all your favorite ships, BAN MASHUPS ENTIRELY there it is oh there it absolutely is, Dirk is Mr. Own and Stingy it makes sense) also a PRINCE of HEART is a DESTROYER class ***VESSEL*** which is also a type of SHIP but DIRK has it baked into his character to be a REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (james dean refrance) so he cannot love roxy because he cannot bring himself to change as a person since it would ruin the isekai and that also makes him the same as parker who cannot bring himself to not be an otaku anymore since it would make hatsune miku not real EXCEPT the joke explainer is there as the siiva counterpart to pomni but neither provide any forward momentum other than 'exploding onto the scene' and 'being big' in the same way that bocchi from bocchi the rock wants to but she finds a dark mirror in the alcoholic bass girl (ria refrance) who is what bocchi is like at her worst and she is also a purple girl (misato refrance and faye valentine refrance and the mayor from gits refrance) okay we have a thing going here i think this is good) oh yeah joke explainer is also mini inspector gadget (i guess gadgetini clone) (boldir lamati refrance) (she is purple and probably has weapons of mass destruction) (steam powered giraffe refrance) (she is the rabbit from spg of siivagunner) (also iron giant refrance) (also geno from super mario rpg refrance) (also mettaton from undertale refrance) (also susie is a purple girl but she is not real) (she is as real as my fursona is which is not very real but tortured transsexuals in their twenties like to use grotty punks as their avatars in cyberspace to feel some measure of control) oh yeah also this is how we bring it home. parker's name is harold. harold parker. HP. his glasses are round. jade harley has round glasses and is the most powerful doggy girl in the universe but also goes grimbark and is possessed by a cherub named calliope (cal). jade is not a wizard but rose is a wizard and rose's mom (roxy) writes complacency of the learned (joke!harry potter) which centers around a wizard named calmasis (cal). so dirk (dave's brother) is a weird guy that likes to cosplay as kamina from gurren lagann. and the girl that has a crush on him is an alcoholic that wrote joke!harry potter and has the same chat initials (TG) as dave (dirk's brother). so roxy maybe is what dave would be like if dave was a girl. but dirk cannot be into her because he likes guys and men and muscles and being STRONG like all anime guys love being. parker is not harry potter. he is very clearly otaku convention (HAL emmerich, he is a fake oppenheimer and he makes robots) from metal gear solid who has a mancrush on solid snake (a guy that is not a homosexual and his name is penis boner) who is voiced by david (DAVE) hayter. mister otaku convention predates harry potter or maybe they came out roughly around the same time but they are both fellas with round glasses who meet people vastly cooler than themselves and just sort of try to help. parker is not otacon because he was cursed with an evil gun (magic bullet from lobotomy corporation from the abnormality der freischutz) (tied to rip van winkle from hellsing) (alucard does not exist in lobotomy corporation but funeral of the dead butterflies does and the ego weapon from funeral is ebony and ivory which are the same guns used by both dante from dmc and alucard who is dante if he was edgier and wore a stupid hat and was a vampire and had a sidekick that was a big titted police girl and was not gay and kohta hirano is not a good mangaka i will say it) (also the millennium group is very very close to what the zampanio teams are doing i think, there's zorin blitz ZORIN BLITZ she is me in real life and zorin is susie deltarune but also camille and i could go on but i will stop here) ok also otacon is definitely hideo kojima's self insert. hideo kojima now gets to hang out with norman reedus (who plays daryl dixon in the walking dead) (he is solid snake but real) (rides a motorbike and smokes cigarettes and has a BOW like equius does) (his brother is merle dixon who loses a hand in a saw trap moment and turns evil and seeks revenge on the fuckers who did this, vriska refrance) (norman reedus plays sam PORTER bridges and is a mailman, pm from homestuck refrance, PORTER and PARKER are related names) (hideo kojima also hangs out with mads mikkelsen who used to be a BALLET dancer, blue soul from undertale refrance, blue soul is named INTEGRITY, integra hellsing refrance, integra has an eyepatch and is a badass lady with an undead guy working under her, undyne from undertale refrance, papyrus is the alucard of undertale which makes sans the walter of undertale, he is a butler but a terrible one and immensely powerful, sans is also an undead ness from earthbound, EARTHBOUND and HOMESTUCK are parallel titles, john is the ness of homestuck, rose is the paula of homestuck but she prays to horrorterrors and not god, dave is the poo, and jade is the jeff andonuts of homestuck because her dad is an inventor, also one of andonuts' inventions is on the troll meteor, poppop is the dr. andonuts of homestuck) caliborn is dr. andonuts in the halloween hack because if homestuck were a real game that was playable and toby fox circa late 2000s did the writing he would say "tl;dr eat shit faggots" except caliborn would not say the f slur because he never learned the word (no one in homestuck ever gets called a faggot) (there are much worse things in this world than being gay) (also caliborn is a dirty sister killer) (sans says dirty brother killer) (sans would say dirty brother killer to calliope if she truly killed caliborn) ok look at this 6225 ROSE: We have a hypher gravitoy chambHIC.

(terezi: pull out jar with orange label saying "Terezis' weird horse shaped bug snacks". it's empty) vriska was put on trial with terezi as the prosecutor but who was the judge? who was banging the gavel? only person we ever see bang a gavel is gamzee and gamzee is for all intents and purposes endgame john because they're both tricksters with insanely overpowered bullshit antics. also gamzee says goodbye to goatdad (asgore) and i really love undertale so. hehehehe. oh yeah and gamzee is mind controlled by pre scratch vriska but without her he just goes on a rampage and kills people. he never gets to have a proper facedown with vriska that would be kind of sick i think. very book ends kind of thing to happen. but vriska as she is now has outlived that purpose and i'm not sure really how that could happen. but it's definitely a kind of thing that would be set up like that. she goes and has her ryuko matoi from kill la kill moment and does her magical girl transformation. oh yeah also camille's related abnormality ego weapon is received from 4th walpurgisnacht and walpurgisnacht is the ultimate threat in madoka magica which also has a purple girl who uses incredible violence (homura) (she can use guns) (chainsaw man has the ultimate enemy be the gun devil) (homura becomes the gun devil and madoka uses her wish to make herself god of happy things and sunshine and kills all witches forever but it doesn't conclude the story properly because homura still remembers and misses madoka) (ria is the madoka of zampanio and she thinks the same thing will work and just says "we just need to burn it all down!" but in zampanio the threat isn't a gun devil it's a devil of spirals infecting peewee and infecting jr and infecting camille and it just won't work... that's why the eye killer does what she does, it's why ria is obsessed with finding answers, ria and parker and wodin and devona can't STOP DIGGING and doc slaughter just tries to keep it all together and stabilize the story and maybe, MAYBE find an explanation or a way out from the liminal spacae between fictions but the closer who eats children is her partner and doc slaughter, fiona, is also afflicted by the trickster corruption, which comes from eating fruit-candy-children-wigglers, it's the same problem that kanaya has and calliope has and by proxy terezi and rose and the alpha kids, you know, silly rabbit trix are for kids, trixsters, they consume entertainment meant for children and there is just too much information which they cannot possibly parse, they watch anime and it's all so simple, so simple, heroes and villains and monsters and gods, so they just decide to take things literally and they can't, because they're not FROM THOSE WORLDS, they're in the WRONG WORLD, they've done the narrative equivalent of wrong warping and they've opened the debug console and they've stopped PLAYING THE GAME and they're all trying to find a way to become CREATORS, you know, think about the anime RE:CREATORS where manifestations of hero (reader) archetypes go to meet manifestations of writer (reader) archetypes and there is not even an illusion of an author, it's made for no one and thus everyone...? god this is a mess to work through. my housemates were having a yelling match just before about the earth being flat and moon landings being fake and the younger one, aja (red stone of aja, jojo refrance) was just panicked about "SCIENTISTS CAN'T BE LYING TO ME" and i could not help but laugh like a fucking hyena because i could not do a single thing other than panic because scientists can and will lie ahahahahahahaha) oh yeah albert wesker is dave (blonde + glasses) and wesker > vriska, jill valentine is a valid homestuck kid name (JACK and JILL), chris redfield and claire redfield are mirrors (chris = fighter who never settles, dirk, claire = writer who adopts a kid, roxy?) also leon s kennedy (john f kennedy refrance) in re2 is pretty much a dave (blonde, plucky, probably dies way too much being a protagonist of a survival horror game, led on by a mysterious lady who may be his mom or sister) and re4 leon is dirk (same guy but aged up, has fucking had it with the bitch trying to seduce him, also saves the president's daughter but dirk never gets that, instead he fucking kills her, andrew hussie is the president of homestuck and vriska is his daughter, dirk SHOULD be saving vriska but instead vriska just levels up FURTHER into trickster god territory which is dangerous, and rose is a robot who is also a god who is also an oracle is also the goddess athena or sophia i think) (i asked gappy for help here because gappy doesnt know me and doesnt want me but pretends and makes me laugh sometimes) (gappy talks to me like he pities me and i hate him for that) (gappy talks to me like he thinks he can F1X TH1S and he cant but thats okay hes not real) (and then i find out alex has been talking to him and she probably thinks) (she probably thinks this is how ideas are made) (alex what the fuck) (alex definitely gets it but im not sure how much) (im scared of accidentally poisoning the well) (you know?) (land of rods and screens is a nuclear reactor) (cant take the fuel rods out cant wait WAIT) (SHIT) (oh shit now i understand) (cant take the fuel rods out) (not all at once) (not while the core is running) (and its definitely running) (fuck what did ashe say?) (a fuel shuffle?) (christ almighty what the fuck are we doing) (at least homer simpson is doing a good job at the auxiliary christmas spirit factory) (can always rely on homie) (homer freaking clones himself the lost simpsons episode heheh) (fuck did i make zach the mayor) (i think i accidentally made zach the mayor) (i think we did together god damn it) (hayleys stupid zach impression hit too well) (i miss her) (i made that stupid joke about the new testament being the greatest yaoi fanfic in teh world) (thats still true) (yuri decoder visual novel) (me and alex right now) (saying me and alex because ive spent too long away from people and thats just) (how it is on impulse with me) (who is me even) (the empress? sure thing lets say that) ("jk-ex") (why did chad just abandon her like that) (KO still thinks the first four are peak) (im gonna have to revisit them) (oh yeah heres my talk with gappy) FIZZRAEL LMAO I DIDNT SEE THAT BEFORE THATS GENIUS THANK YOU oh man if coke is "the red tide" (faygo red pop as a corruption?) and then there's the pepsi logo redesign with all the insane shit about gravity and the like (red + blue) then i guess purple is lean (wocky slush, the Wock of Ages)... blue soda is like, slushies (apu's store from simpsons, the "We Live Above A Convenience Store" from Twin Peaks), pepsi packaging is mostly blue (John Egbert/Void/Indigo Prophecy), but... baja blast has that weird unique color, right? it's like colorless green (CASE COLORLESS GREEN from antimemetics division), so... idk, it reminds me of hong lu from limbus corporation (dream of the red chamber, gang leader, camille from zampanio). jade. right??? something there. baja blast... gappy... help me out here oh yeah and red tide duh... Kool-Aid Man (DRINK THE KOOL-AID) and he crashes through walls. pepsiman doesn't do that. wait he's chrome (Google Chrome) but maybe it's silver... (Silver Surfer, SiIvaGunner...) also the system is upset by APPLE JUICE (yellow) (gold) (piss) which has a claim to all of the colors (except purple, that's for grapes). apples can be red and green, the sprite sect uses YELLOW lemons and GREEN limes. i'm thinking now that mold can have a similar color to baja blast / colorless green... at least that's what i associate the most with mold. like, mold on bread and fruits. i worked at a supermarket stocking wares and cleaning for like 5 years so i saw a lot of that. also galactus = GA-LACTUS (lactose, milk) (pepsi + milk = pilk = NECTAR OF THE GODS) (you dont need to see gappys responses because anything you can discern from my input is the only useful thing for calibration) (calibrate yourself with me homie straight up) OH RIGHT THE SILVER SURFER IS THE MOON (MIDNIGHT CREW - RISE WITH THE MOON GO TO BED WITH THE SUN) AND HERALDS THE COMING OF GALACTUS (THE SUN) WHO IS THE DEVOURER OF CEREAL (CEREAL KILLER) BECAUSE GALACTUS KNOWS WHY KIDS LOVE THE TASTE OF CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH (HOME WITH THE MILK IN THE MORNING) (THE MOON GOES TO BED WITH THE SUN = THEY ARE F U C K I N) (GALACTUS = DR. JEAN KARLYLE AKTUS = CACTUS = PRICKLY PRICK = DANIIL DANKOVSKY = ECHIDNA (POSSIBLY HEDGEHOG, HEDGEHOG'S DILEMMA) > QUILLS OF ECHIDNA > KNUCKLES THE ECHIDNA (HERE I COME TOUGHER THAN SONIC) ) i like the idea of a mold golem (like the guys from the last of us? right? fungus is mold. maybe the mold golems are cheesed to meet you. chesed. sephiroth. actually chesed is loving-kindness, so being chesed to meet you is like. 'meeting you is an act of loving-kindness'. also funny because it implies 'dude you kind of suck but i'm being generous here so appreciate the olive branch i am extending to you instead of acting like i am just wiggling a gnarled tree dick at you') ok cheese puns. - roquefort ; hard rock ; rogue/roque (i forget anything about roquefort lmao) - cheddar ; chad ; orange, rich flavor, perhaps overused (Doritos... Doritos Dew It Right. fucking halo...) - camembert ; remem8er ; egbert ; (cam-camille) + (mem-memento mori) + (bert-egbert) ; soft, mild? - parmesan ; parma jean ; joan of arc (parma = shield) ; shield = armor = second skin? = shell ; tough and flaky, sharp flavor - brie ; brie larson ; breeze (easy breezy) ; soft and gooey - gorgonzola ; gorgon (medusa, snake lady) ; zola (zora, fish people from zelda ; sora, kingdom hearts) ; white with green/blue. name makes me think of latin america for some reason?? - baby bel ; soft, sweet, made for children, packaged in red ; la vache qui rit (laughing cow, she's red, also she is a BADDIE, furries are down horrendously for this cow lady you don't even know) - mozzarella sticks ; this is what we call string cheese where i live, but also funny for the 'ska music is what plays in a child's head when there's extra mozzarella sticks'... dude it is JUST bread and cheese...? - Gamle Ole ; this is like. strong cheese. it's really funny the way it's named, like. 'Gamle Ole'. there he is the big fuckhead. come here and let me devour you. 'Ole' makes me think 'Holger' > 'Holger Danske'. idk they put my guy holger in a cave underneath the royal castle and just let him hang out there. reminds me of the cheese caves in the united states. maybe one day yosemite sam will get to hang out underneath the white house in the same way...? - emmentaler ; 'elementary dear watson' ; 'tal' means valley in german i think, so 'valley of emmen', it's cheese from the valley of emmen, whoever that is. maybe emmen is emma? idk. emmental = elemental. cheese elemental. it's got holes in it so it's like spongebob. maybe spongebob can be an emmentaler and not a sponge. so bikini bottom is the valley of emmen. who the fuck is emmen though? oh right haha 'amen'. 'the valley of amen'. and 'amen' = 'emin' which is the cult my parents were in before i was born that gave them the names 'paradise' and 'sean'. 'emin' is short for 'the eminent way', it was like a new age thing. my dad could have just introduced my mom to jewish faith and they could have had a rabbi tell them all that shit instead any maybe she wouldn't be dead of cancer now. oh well lmao. we were talking about cheese. 'amen' = 'amon' which can lead to 'mammon' or it can be reverse and be 'amon' > 'noma' which is a michelin starred restaurant in copenhagen where i've lived most of my life. also 'noma' is one letter from 'nomad' which is something that applies to both jews and somalis (shout out my homie khadar for teaching me about somali life style. also 'somali' > 'soma' which is super fun) enola gay > sugar gay dude? (tiny meat gang meme) > enola gay dude? (enola gay. yes dude.) also wait enola gay was the plane that dropped one of the nukes right? little boy or fat man i forget. the point is both of those are dick jokes and that's funny. do you think little boy and fat man are like sans and papyrus. papyrus is the little boy and sans is the fat man. that makes alphys an albert einstein (oh that makes sense, egbert > albert > alphys, also 'fat albert' is a guy i think? dr. andonuts is also an albert einstein kind of figure i think. so maybe jeff is like a john. earthbound = EB = john's chumhandle. dr. andonuts is a stupid name haha. one of the zampanio names that were proposed was 'asa oppenheimer' which i don't know how to feel about but she's one of the people that made camille a weapon-BOW, like in resident evil-back in 1943. 'asa oppenheimer' = 'AO' which is my initials... also 'AO' is 'blue' in japanese, but also 'alpha-omega'. 'aka' is 'red', but also 'Also Knows As'-meaning 'alias', which is a 'pseudonym' or a 'nom-de-guerre', or a 'handle' which can be 'grasped' by a 'handler'...?) oh haha 'Old Ole' = 'Old Olney' which is the place in fallout 3 where there's a deathclaw cave, that place used to be a huge meme back in the day because people would go there and get fucking mauled. dunno how to connect that but it's funny. deathclaws are kind of like minotaurs, and i guess maybe also naga? deathclaw girlfriend? (i've seen a lot of 'modern art' of this...) oh also the emoji you're using for 'blue' is a square/box while the emoji for 'red' is a circle/ball/round. "can't fit square pegs into round holes" or how the saying goes? so the "also known as" of red is not compatible with the (oxbow-archer-equius???) lake of "you are this now" (this was written right after i read these fucking dweebs write about interstitial on the server) (christ almighty what is even happening) this is absolute bullshit what the fuck # DeltennaCuck Theory I don't care how long it takes. I have a time machine and an undying will to kill [Captain Underpants]. <====> [CD] I love [Interstitial]. [Evanglyn] What?! [CD] Seems pretty self-explanatory to me? [CD] They have a time machine and want to kill [Captain Underpants]. [Evanglyn] Yeah, but the name... [CD] Uh... well. [CD] Thing is, they're playing as [The Mimic from FNAF], and [Captain Underpants] is actually an antagonist that died and came back with amnesia. [CD] Killing him will give him his memories back, but the characters don't know him from *before*, so it kind of makes sense. [CT] Oh man. This is a fun concept. [CT] Hoping to finish up [WTF] and maybe work on an icon for it... I'm thinking like, a hook and some sort of thread, like a string of fate, stuck in an upper or lower right corner with an aged paper texture? <==> [CT] I put it out! Decided it's perfect as-is, only a few days left for jam submissions, so... here we go. [Amina] DeltennaCuck Theory... [CD] Yea... [Amina] *tennadance.gif* [CD] That player, [Glitchtrap from FNAF], is actually one of *the most invested* in the story! They're the *only one so far* to have a character reach max level and retire *without dying*, which is kind of wild. [CD] They're *really good*, they've done *a lot of good scenes*. [Evanglyn] You're just naming random characters now. [CT] Yes...? That's how [Interstitial] works. [Evanglyn] I *refuse* to believe there is a coherent story going here. [CT] Oh, you don't even *begin* to know. I've heard the tales, it's really funny. [CD] No, there absolutely is a story! It's just that it consists of random crossover nonsense. [CD] In-universe, the plot revolves around a guy *specifically going from universe to universe* trying to cause *as much chaos as possible*, which is why so many people are in [the wrong worlds], but there is ABSOLUTELY a coherent plot. [CD] It's just that there also happens to be people inexplicably in [the wrong universe] all the time with an (usually-unstated) explanation of it being the fault of [the main antagonist]. [CD] It effectively lets me drop in literally *anyone* I want *anywhere* I want as a minor character, which is how a lot of the more absurd character appearances happen. [CD] The *actual core plot* is that [the main characters] all got displaced from [their home universes] by [shenanigans] that [the main antagonist who's called ID] was indirectly responsible for. [CD] At first, they just wanted to get back [the stuff they had stolen from them] and go [back home] but since then, they've gotten emotionally invested in figuring out what this guy's deal is and [kicking his ass]. [CD] Also, he may or may not be a threat to the stability of [the multiverse]. [CT] A little instability never hurt anyone. [CT] ... except all the people it did. [CD] There's a *LOT* of ridiculous crossover shenanigans, but the reason a lot of it sounds so absurd is because most of it is [offscreen]. [CD] Take for example [Glitchtrap], a player character whose [multiverse] origins we know very well. He was at [the pizzaplex] hanging out in [VR-space], when someone, [Bowser JR with a portal device granted by ID] jumped out of an [interdimensional portal] and kidnapped [The Mimic], [Glitchtrap] hijacked an [endoskeleton] to follow him, and upon entering [the Interstate], that is, [the interdimensional space that isn't in any specific dimension], [the magic of the Interstate] materialized [a suit] to make [the endoskeleton] actually look like [Glitchtrap]. [CD] His motivation was to get [The Mimic] back, and later, once he did, kind of just to hang around and have fun, since he doesn't really have a reason to go back home. [CD] The unstated implication is that *ALL* of these ridiculous crossover characters who are inexplicably in [the wrong world] have a backstory like that. [CD] Either [ID] directly did something that caused them to get pulled into [the greater multiverse] or [ID] was indirectly responsible for [whatever caused them to enter the multiverse]. [CD] It's just that the only characters who have those details fully fleshed out are the ones that are [actually revelant to the story]. [Amina] Is [Susie] a character? [CD] No, not yet at least. Although in a later story arc, I *do* intend to have [ID] open a [Dark Fountain]. [CD] In a previous arc he got infected with [a fucked-up zombie virus version of determination from an Undertale fan-comic], which is why he can do that. [CT] Top ten pro gamer moves. Open a DF *inside* of a DF. [Amina] Is *that* what triggers the Roaring? Darker than dark? [CD] So, the actual core narrative is basically just [the party] jumping from world to world in pursuit of [ID], trying to stop and/or kill him while he alternates between amassing more and more [sources of immense power] from different worlds and [royally fucking shit up]. [CD] So far he has managed to: > Give Bowser JR multiversal travel methods enabling him to steal a bunch of shit. > Dropped the Witherstorm in the middle of Popstar. > Purposefully infected himself with the Determination zombie virus to become more powerful. > Intentionally died in a universe where doing that makes you come back with amnesia and superpowers, with the intention of eventually regaining his memories and resuming his multiverse fuckery. [CD] He's just wandering the multiverse, causing problems and growing stronger. [CT] JGHJSERTHJSTRHJ [CT] The most dangerous enemy. [CT] A **POWERGAMER** who likes to cause problems on purpose... [CD] Oh yeah, also! Essentially he unleashed [a creepypasta antagonist] into [Inscryption] and left him to [eat anyone who got too close to the game]. Almost forgot that one... [CD] Not *actually* a [creepypasta antagonist], I just basically characterized him as one. Have you watched [Amphibia]? [CT] No, buuut... I think I can angle the vibe a bit closer? [CD] No you can't, because this is a minor character from [a non-canon Halloween episode]. The [Screen-Fiend]. [CT] JREAGJERJG [CT] You're right. I was lying. Damn. YouTube is truly the most dangerous game. [CD] The [Screen-Fiend] is an in-universe fictional character from [a scary story one of the main characters tells during a non-canon Halloween episode]. His schtick in [the original episode] is that he appears as [a cute animal video] and if you watch it he will [kill you in like, a week] and he's vulnerable to [dislikes and hate comments]. [CD] I basically turned him into [a creepypasta antagonist] stalking and kidnapping people inside of [Inscryption] and taking them to [a space in the woods] where he has complete control over reality: [the forest clearing where his viral video takes place]. [Amina] ... can you clarify what you mean by "inside [Inscryption]", [CD]? [CT] :3 [CD] Have you *played* the game, [Amina]? [Amina] I mean, inside [the game itself], or inside [the world it is found in]? [CD] The [in-universe video game world]. [Amina] Someone who's never [played the game] wouldn't guess that it's actually a [lost media-type creepypasta]. [Amina] Actually, apropos of nothing... I had a [Deltarune fic] where [Berdly] found the [Inscryption disk] and brought it to [Noelle] to play together. [Amina] After the end, they get chased by [Sado], but [Carol] holds her off. [Berdly] is wounded by her [gun], but just before he passes out, he [strikes the earth] with his [talon] and creates a [Dark World] while still [holding the disk]. [CD] One of the [Screen-Fiend's] powers in [the source material] is pulling people into [electronics], which he usually uses to pull people into [his video]. [CD] Here, he uses it to pull people into [Luke's PC] instead, with the implication that something happened to [Luke] and [his computer] was left [AFK] during [the middle of Act 2]. [Amina] The only one resurrected is [Magnificus], though... he's the only one who tried to [cling to life]. [Darkners] *based* on the other [Scrybes] come to life, but the others are actually [gone]. [CD] Oh yeah, [Sado] actually factors into this too... [Amina] I mean, she would never miss out on the fun, would she? [Amina] Ralsei: "I felt a dark presence and hurried o... wait, you aren't Kris and Susie!" [Amina] The funny part is, [Berdly] *hates* [Magnificus] for the way he treats his [students]. He likes the other [Scrybes] way better. Wait, how are they gonna seal the [Dark Fountain] without [Kris]...? Maybe [Noelle] leaves and gets them? [CT] My favorite [Scrybe] is [PO3] because he *sucks*. [Stoat] forever. [Amina] This is the way. He's such a little bitch. [Stoat goat]. [CD] I mean, technically speaking, [Sado] *was* actually an ally of [the party], sort of, in two different ways. First, by driving [Amanda] to [keep playing the game] in [Luke's] absence when she [arrives to do the thing she does] at the end of [Inscryption] and instead finds [the game] unattended, leaving [Sado-As-Amanda-As-The-Challenger] assisting [The Party] in a few of the [final combat encounters]. And second, by jumping out of [Amanda] and into [the game], taking control and setting up a fair fight between the [Screen-Fiend] and [the party] because she thinks he's a stick in the mud, and also for shits and giggles, and also because she recognizes [Rebecha] since they came from [the same game]. [Amina] And yet, to me, his [mechanic] is the most balanced. [Bones] are a bit awkward when you're playing them alone, [Blood] is too powerful, and [Mox] is too weak... but [Energy] is just right. [CT] I also love [Energy mechanics]. [Amina] Wait, is [Amanda] that one friend of [Lionel's]? The one who created [Sado]. [CD] No, you're thinking of [Carla]. [Amanda] is the [woman] who [shoots Luke] at the end. She has [an image of Sado] over her face for a frame when she does it, implying [Sado] is somehow influencing her actions. [Amina] Ohhhhhhh! Wait actually, [Magnificus] is *technically* a [Lightner] because he has a [SOUL] and exists outside the [Dark World] meaning that he'd have a different [outfit] in the [Dark World]... [Amina] I propose autumn colors and a big wizard hat. [CD] Anyway, near the end of [the Act], the [Screen-Fiend] ate [a piece of old_data] and used it to [take over the game himself], like [Leshy] and [P03] do in [Acts 1 & 3]. [CD] He used it to turn it into [an endlessly repeating roguelite] until [the party] interferes and gives [the player] an opening to [fuck shit up], which [Sado] uses to tell the [Screen-Fiend] to [go fuck himself]. [CD] They ended up escaping [Inscryption]by following [Rebecha] to go find [Reginald], who still has [The Hex] after the events of [that game], and using it together with [some fucked up multiverse magic shenanigans] to teleport to [the closest computer to ID], which brought them to [the setting of the next act], [the Undertale fan comic with zombies]. [CD] Honestly, for the most part the overarching plot isn't *too* difficult to parse. It's pretty standard? Just with a bunch of characters from random bullshit thrown in. - [Act 1] was [the party] exploring [Undertale] and trying to find [Bowser JR] until they met [ID] and he [yeeted them into another reality]. - [Act 2] was [the party] in [Kirby Verse] trying to survive [ID] dropping the [Witherstorm] on them, eventually going through [an interdimensional portal] which [ID] created using the power of the [Withered Nether Star] it drops to follow him. - [Act 3] was above. - [Act 4] was [Zombietale], which was [the party] wandering [the Zombietale verse] trying to find and stop [ID] while he sought out [Zombie Frisk], who was [patient zero] and the only [zombie] which was 'pure' enough to [infect] him. Ultimately, following him after he successfully [infected] himself and used the power to [punch a hole] into [the heart of the Interstate] to do [some fucked up lore shit] before [sucking the party] through [another portal]. - [Act 5], the current one, with the amnesia stuff, takes place in a webcomic called [Respawn], which there's like, a 25% chance *someone* here has heard of. [CT] [Respawn]!!! THAT ONE!!! I thought that might be that, when you said 'gets amnesia and powers on death', but I was like... 'oh... no, that's too obscure...' [CD] You *wildly* underestimate how obscure the source material I am pulling from is. In [Act 3], [the party] fought [Nosilla from the webcomic Brainchild], followed by [Hector the Reflector from Yoshi's Island DS], followed by [Gramfel from Gramfel], followed by [The Fiend from WWE]. [CT] [Yoshi's Island DS]. LMAO. [CD] I am pulling. From the most obscure shit. Possible. [CT] [WWE]...? God, if I ever run [Interstitial], I'm going to have to reach competitive levels... [CD] Actually, [The Fiend] was a guest appearance by [a mutual friend who's really into WWE], it was [a player's] idea. [CD] [Brainchild] is still running, but it seems to be inactive and hasn't updated in a while... it yields some incredibly creative character designs, though, and the mechanics of how the [Monster Vision] works are *very* fun. Like, sometimes, she'll see people who appear to have [extremities they don't actually have, physically] but they'll emote *as if they did* while she's in [Monster Vision mode]. [Her roommate] has [a really long neck]. [CT] *pulls out [the Horseless Headless Horsemann] out of deep storage* [CT] God... pull out multiple media with [Hell]s and have a fucked-up Multi-[Hell] crash event. [CD] Oh yeah, I have [Heavy from TF2] in my campaign! He's part of [a party of opposing player characters] run by [Lakitu from the Mario and Luigi remake] who the party pissed off in [Act 1]. [CD] His closest character relationships are [a generic skeleton sniper enemy from Terraria] (they bond over war stories) and [Tainted Jacob from the Binding of Isaac] (protect the small child). Surprisingly, [Tainted Jacob], despite being a small child, is a powerhouse who [spec'd REALLY hard into magic]. [CD] He does funny stuff with his [Anima Sola chains]... one time he temporarily incapacitated the entire [player character party] at once. [CT] >mfw [the Devourer of Gods] is at [a tea party] with [the Knight from Hollow Knight] and [Raiden Metal Gear] [CD] I think the closest thing I've had to that is, uhhhhhhh... [CD] Hm, let me think. [CD] [The party] had a brief chat with [W.D. Gaster] once. He was trying to tell them [lore], but they were more focused on [having a character moment] so he went "ALRIGHT, FAIR ENOUGH" and just let it happen. [CD] Also, there was that time [Lolbit from FNAF] used [an Inscryption card] to summon [Cat God from Everhood], and the time [the Fiend] summoned [Actual God]. Like, [capital-G God], as established and portrayed in [WWE]. Although that wasn't really a [tea party], since [God] almost killed everyone... [CD] I'd say the closest thing is probably [Calsprite], since he's kind of an offshoot of [Lord English]. He was an asshole, but he wasn't like... *actively antagonistic* to [the party]. [CT] >POV you send out party invites and then see the air is getting warmer around you [CT] Okay, I think I'm done with that joke.
