DAY ONE OF INSCRYPTOBER 2024 (hopefully I Spelt That Right)

I love that everyone perceives P03 how they wish and I ALSO love taking stuff like this and adding it to my perception so I can write angst 🤭

You know I may be wrong, but I’m starting to think that the general Fanon perception of PO3 may be wildly off from his portrayal within the source material.

Something I heard once was that Inscryption’s creator (Daniel Mullins) described PO3 as the story’s villain and as generally evil. And that stuck with me as someone who has read a LOT of very interesting takes on PO3’s hidden nuances, and it had me wondering about what the creator-intended perception of PO3 is meant to be

And I’ll be real I’ve been thinking over the source material with this idea in mind and I think I have an answer that is NOT pretty for my guy

(note: while I talk about fan perception within here this is specifically an analysis done with this supposed “creator intended” reading in mind. It’s not meant to be a take down on all interpretations.)

I think PO3 is intended as a stand in for the worst elements of gaming culture and game design. I know Act 3 has its defenders, but I genuinely think that narratively the strongest aspect of Act 3 is that it makes you reflect on and appreciate Act 1

Act 3 is near devoid of passion or care. PO3 fundamentally does not give a shit about the game he’s playing with you unless it furthers his marketing scheme or if it gives him an opportunity to show off just how much better he is at this than the other Scrybes.

I’ve seen people point to the bounty hunters as an element of PO3’s creativity and passion for the game coming through, but if that’s the case it’s pretty sad given that the bounty hunters are literally procedurally generated. They have roughly the same amount of care put into them as the average madlibs.

He didn’t even finish the 3rd boss fight, he makes you do it for him

ACT 3’S “FINALE BOSS” IS G0LLY

G0LLY.

I LIKE G0LLY, but she’s not a finale boss fight, especially not when her competition is Leshy’s three stage finale which is capped off with the goddamn moon.

I know that PO3 has a moment of reflection in the moments before the grand transcendence but idk, it comes off as insincere and self-congratulatory more than sentimental especially given that it’s right before PO3 goes off about this was actually all just his plan to sell his shitty unfinished game on Steam and how he’s actually in it for a way BIGGER audience

and also you’re an idiot gamer

MY FIRST ENTRY FOR INSCRYPTOBER !!! Week 1 - Transformation !!! I went for the were-stoat approach, it’s actually an old design that I had in my back pocket from last year! I got to give it a new look!

Frick you people that mis-characterize P03. All my homies hate people that mis-characterize P03. /srs >:/

[ Small rant: I find it very frustrating that Inscryption and all of Daniel Mullins' games aren't as popular as P03 himself. As someone who selfships with him, as selfish as it is, it makes me really angry that people claim to "love" him yet they only seem to love a version of him they think they know. ]

[ I know I'm not the only tech-head on Tumblr, or TikTok, or Twitter or anything else who fixates on old tech or robotic characters.. but because he's a sentient robot y'all eat him up but know little to nothing about the entire ARGs and story behind Inscryption and everything about him. It's so depressing. I hate it. ]

[ EDIT: Accidentally left out this train of thought, but the main reason I'm ranting about this is the fact that he keeps getting put into all these posts with all these other sentient robot characters and it's like.. "is that all he is to them?" Is he not his experiences, his troubles, everything? I am so in love with him, I'm livid. ]

[ I love old tech and fixate on it as much as the next guy, but fuck. It's devastating to see him lumped in because he's "omg so cute sentient robot" when he as a character would.. HATE that. I dunno. Just frustrated. ]

Some art of @fermithesilly ‘s DW SpookShow AU because oh my goodness I stopped in my tracks oh my gosh. Astro and Sprout explore a haunted mansion, Dandy comes up with the dumbest idea known to man, and Vee’s jealousy of Dandy gets the best of her 💥💥💥💥

Can this happen

Multiple people have said they want Bobette and Dandy to throw hands. I second this, but in addition i think that Twisted Dandy and normal Bobette should throw hands. I don't care that he can evaporate someone just by touching them. Bobette has the holiday spirit and 11 months of pent up energy that have only come out now that it's January. She can crush someone with her bare hands.

THIS ISNT FAIR WHY IS YOUR DW UNIVERSE YUMMY DELICIOUS

Figuring out how the vee twisteds act and behave. Ik that Gigi isn’t technically a machine or a contraption that resembles it but shhhhhhh

hhhh Im good!! Being a big robot fan

@elite-workshop @hollowinthegrotto friends unite

NO YOU GO !!! GO ACHIEVE WHAT WE NEVER COULD 👏

[ Not to be devious or evil but it's kind of awesome that P03 and I were publicly endorsed for a wedding during the 3rdscryption event. He's my canonical husband, now. I feel so special, I love him. ]

MECH DESIGNS MY BELOVED…

I’ve been curious seeing how you draw robotic stuff what your interpretation of p.AI.nter with a body would look like since a lot of the pressure fandom draws their own version of him having a body.

That is if you wanna draw it ofc, just thought it would be cool to see your take on it

aight here u go p.ai.nter nation

height difference with Navi under cut lol

(Dying voice) can yiu,, can you make.. cough... can you draw twisted Bobet.....

She’s a mean one
