Finally, the page for the antagonist and deuteragonist of book one, “Cyril”, also known as CRN-005B (pronounced Carrion Five B) or just Carrion, who is sentient alien flesh creature that breached containment from the institute that held it that somehow got to possess some guy who died in the woods.

Not mentioned in the desc but he’s practically a cannibalistic serial killer lol

also… here are some doodles under the cut!!

the picture above was supposed to be a comic where he doesn’t die but he and his “friend” jasper cover up a murder they accidentally did but turns out the guy fucking resurrected thanks to the alien “carrion” thing

Stay tuned for more lore

Saw a post pointing out that the idea of a Saturday-Sunday weekend is in itself cultural Christianity being applied to the whole “secular” world, that in Israel the weekend is Friday-Saturday and in some Muslim-majority countries the weekend is Thursday-Friday or only Friday (in others it’s Friday-Saturday as well.)

Anyway to make a truly secular and inclusive world I propose a Monday-Wednesday work-week and a Thursday-Sunday weekend. I think anyone of any or no religion could all get behind this.

chapter 3 secret boss: get s-rank at both of Tenna’s challenges to unlock a secret creepypasta video game in a dilapidated back room, beat the creepypasta video game by killing all the enemies undertale genocide style, re-enacting snowgrave, traversing a difficult dungeon and defeating an even more difficult boss to obtain the Shadow Mantle which is the only way you even have a fighting chance against the fucking Roaring Knight, which is to say that it won’t oneshot you on every attack but it still makes Jevil look like a walk in the park. Good luck depleting its massive hp bar while trying to weather fucking incomprehensibly hard attacks that reduce 2/3 of your party to -999 hp!

chapter 4 secret boss: if you play the piano real nice gerson’ll put on his undyne costume and teach susie to believe in herself :)

It's really cool how, after Chapter 2 established the idea of Darkners (who aren't Ralsei) eventually petrifying when in a Dark World they 'don't belong' in, both Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 found a way to use that idea in really weird and creative ways to enhance their themes.

Chapter 3 blurs the seemingly obvious lines of "every Darkner belongs in the Dark World that created them", asks what does it really mean to 'belong'. A Plugboy (Ramb) and plenty of Pippins were brought to life via the Dark Fountain that created everything in TV World… and yet there are characters expressing the idea they don't belong due to their Dark World Backstories that means that they come from other Worlds - even if these obwere still totally in Kris' living room when those those Dark Fountains were opened.

And then it messes with it even further by having all the Pippins be totally fine, while Ramb the Plugboy and even one of the Zappers got petrified. It seems like the idea of belonging or not belonging in a Dark World is a lot more abstract and emotion-based then we previously thought. The Pippin's dialogue about Ramb implies he got petrified simply because he never really made friends, because he never fit in.

And that just… really helps the atmosphere of the endgame of TV World. The way that Tenna's obsession and breakdown is causing his world to crumble all around him, causing his own people to feel alienated. And this idea of feeling like you never really belong in your own home obviously fits in with the undercurrents of Dreemurr Family Drama that run through the entire chapter.

Meanwhile in Chapter 4, the Petrification is used to emphasize the narrative element of Predestination and, well, Prophecy. Because it's not just that the Darkners from the original "Dark Sanctuary" manifest as Petrified when Susie creates her "Second Sanctuary"

The Darkners of the Second Sanctuary already appeared Petrified in the First Sanctuary.

Meaning that basically, as far as the Dark Worlds were concerned, Susie's creation of the Second Sanctuary was preordained. So preordained that the objects that would become the Darkners that populate that Dark World came to life as soon as the First Sanctuary did, but then turned to stone because they actually belonged in that not-yet-created other Sanctuary.
