Is it worth it to read all of these pages so I can get caught up?

Most  of them aren't plot. The backstory of the current plot that's sort of dead right now technically began on page 1537, but most of the intervening stuff isn't relevant or plot at all. There's also some TLT lore that's been developed, namely the concept of Narrators, Authors, Withergeists, Enullers, and Luxsprites. Enullers and Luxsprites are pretty much completely irrelevant in the current plot, and Withergeists are only slightly relevant. Brief explanation of what those terms mean and a rundown on TLT's 'canon' history as I understand it:

Spoiler

Long ago before the creation of TLT, there were Luxsprites, beings of ordered light. There were also Withergeists, of disordered darkness, led by the Witherlord. Due to a luxsprite attempting to combine the ordered light powers with disordered darkness, all the Luxsprites died or were corrupted besides one, and the Witherlord became basically unstoppable. Also due to the Luxsprite's fall, Narrators, beings of immense disordered light powers arose. They changed the fabric of reality to their whims, and between them and the Witherlord things weren't great. The Enullers, beings of ordered darkness stepped in, sealing away the Narrators and Witherlord alike within TLT.

If you want to know more about TLT lore or wish to fact check my understanding of it, @xinoehp512 has a TLT ama and is quite knowledgeable about it, having been involved in the creation of the lore and several RP's that spun off from TLT.

The current lore doesn't involve any of that ancient history, aside from many of the characters involved being Narrators and one of Bookwyrm's characters having a sword made from Mordite a substance of disordered darkness that can kill anything.

If you want a background on the current characters, I can probably do that for most of them.

If you read all this and are feeling intimidated, don't be. Feel free to just ignore it and jump right in. this is still TLT, so technically the only rules are what we make them to be.

Until Moniker stepped up to the plate. She started a group in protest against the evils of tyranny that gathered millions of citizens from that planet.

[S. Stormy she/her]

Rhebbbbbbbeckaugh joined the group.

[NameIess]

Soon, they'd managed to completely disrupt the economy of the planet by entirely nonviolent methods.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Everyone decided to grant Gertrude chaotic neutral power. Y'know, just for fun.

[EmulatonStromenkiin he/him]

This was according to the shadow's plan.

wow. That is some pretty awesome/extensive lore. 

 

[Edema Rue she/her]

Suddenly, blobfish

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

Suddenly pineapples.

Spoiler

Ah...It's been too long...Bookwyrm thought to himself.

[NameIess]

The Ghanderflaffle empire was rising on a tide of pineapples.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

But everything changed when the Blobfish attacked.

[S. Stormy she/her]

Ruhbekaugh screamed like a little boy and ran away.

Why doesn't anybody do that?

Then the greatest Bob ever born appeared, ready to burn everything to ash.

[Wittles he/him]

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the world turned into ash, and everything fell from the sky

[Edema Rue she/her]

Actually, not just everything fell from the sky. Several everything burritos fell from the sky. The blobfishes loved them.

[solarcat she/her]

The smell of the burritos were overwhelming. In fact... they weren't any normal burritos. The burritos detonated after a given time and released a gaseous smell, killing several blobfish. 

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

The Ghanderflaffles began weaponizing the burritos in their war against the Blobfish. They were incredibly effective, and the war only lasted two days.

[NameIess]

This was because the burritos were so delicious that the Ghanderflaffles couldn't keep themselves from eating them as well, and so both sides were quickly wiped out.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

A Selffalfrednahg, a servant of Bookwyrm, reported on the state of the war.

[NameIess]

The casualties were tremendous.

[solarcat she/her]

Innards were everywhere; the sight was horrible.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Especially since the viewing area had kaleidoscopes instead of tower-viewers.

[Immortal Platypus]

that is absolutely despicable.

Platypus quietly pondered the existence of life. Not the meaning, (that's obviously 42), but the existence.

[NameIess]

Moni also pondered the existence of life, something she’d been doing for quite a lot of recently.

[EmulatonStromenkiin he/him]

The shadows plan was coming to fruition. They nearly had enough souls to initiate convergence.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Unfortunately for the Shadows, there was a traitor among them.
