I met him a bit ago at a party. Overall has done an excellent job of making things hard for us.” 19 minutes ago, edgyswordname said: Now is a good time, while we wait for @Ashkaloda, to note that 9/10mmHB#2 is shy and only posts directly when taking control of Inkwell’s body, otherwise he will react by editing an old post. It is aware of the forum, Inkwell is not. Why are you waiting for me?

Inkwell, frustrated and dizzy from his fall, wonders if being harassed by voices in his head, mosquitoes, and giant snakes counts as an antagonist origin story. Spoiler 9/10mmHB#2 is skeptical, but the giant snake looks familiar. It’s almost as if the character he inhabits is the spiritual reincarnation of a much older character by the Author. Someone who had killed something like this before. But that story was long gone, and clearly this character couldn’t become a rival Antagonist. Yes, that would definitely be a stupid idea. It would be up to the Authors to raise up such an antagonist. Inkwell should bide his time and gain experience in the Thread before attempting to influence the major Plot. Rebus was just too powerful. Suddenly, the solution came to it. What force could be destructive enough to the thread to warrant Inkwell’s existence as a major antagonist? Only the eldritch deity known as ChatGPT. With the forbidden power of artificial intelligence, Inkwell could rewrite the plot and destroy Rebus, cementing himself in the plot. It was a perfect plan.

Verdance he/him Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Inkwell is not hallucinating.

As it turns out, sitting still and trying to draw something while something humongous looms above you usually gets you eaten. And that is exactly what happens to Inkwell. Spoiler 9/10mmHB#2 wishes he wasn’t stuck with this joke of a character. He needs to travel to an ancient corner of the Thread and find this antagonist, then learn from it. But time travel does not exist, and any other way to achieve this goal would involve and incredible expenditure of meta energy. Oh well.

So there are multiple plotlines going on right now, and in general, something is only referring to you or near your characters if you were quoted or pinged in that section of the post. So Aeoryi was not referring to you here, as the character saying this is likely lightyears away from Inkwell, excepting the “Plot is Dead” segment of the one post in which they were communicating with Inkwell. You can pretty much ignore the rest of the thread other than posts that quote you for now so that your brain doesn’t explode. 56 minutes ago, Aeoryi said: "All inklings are innately unaffected by Narration due to the Dreamsmith.

I have no idea what Aeoryi was going for there, but I doubt it was meant as stay out of the plot. Plot actually used to be a character who died thousands of pages back, so that’s what I would guess but idk man.
