while i’m on this topic. to anyone with “freaks dni” in their bio, do you know the history of the word ‘freak’? do you know that it came into common use because of freakshows, which largely showcased disabled people (specifically physically deformed people) and intersex people? do you know that to a lot of folks, even today, “sexual freak” is a direct synonym for “person who has consensual sex with someone of the same gender”? are you aware of the subjectivity of the word you’re using, and the historical (and current) hatred behind it, and the fact that people cannot read your mind and will not know what random groups of ‘disgusting’ people you’re talking about just from a single broad-purpose word?

#like. to a lot of people ‘freak’ also just means ‘person who might be autistic or schizophrenic’. the list goes on #regardless of what it means to you... these are the definitions that will come to mind for good chunk of the population #i’m sorry this is such a thing for me lol i feel like i talk about dnis nonstop but they’re so revealing of people’s mindsets #txt

If you’ve recently watched one or more of Legundo’s 100 Days videos, you might have some questions – questions like what’s with all the eyes, who the heck is Decem, what’s an Alteran, how do I get involved in the ARG, why is there chess happening, can I get off Legundo’s wild ride yet, et cetera. This post seeks to answer most of those questions in as straightforward a manner as possible (can’t help with the last one, though – you’re stuck here now!), while also sticking as close as possible to only canon information in order for people to form their own theories. Basically, consider it a brief lore primer for everything 100 Days Multiverse!

But first, a few disclaimers:

This is gonna be a long post. It's going under a readmore. If readmores don't work for you I'm sorry.

This is copied from a WIP document of ours that attempts to record pretty much everything going on in the series, which necessarily means it will at some point become outdated. (Time check: this post was made on 10/14/2023. There are still at least 2 puzzles that haven't been solved yet.) If anything significant comes up I'll try to add it to the summary and therefore that document, but there isn't anything yet.

There will be a lot of “might”, “possibly”, “may or may not have”, “somewhat implied to”, and other various caveats throughout this post. We don’t have a lot of information explicitly stated to be canon at the moment, and while a lot of things seem like sure bets, there’s no telling how unreliable these narrators might be. We don’t like claiming things are canon unless we’re 100% sure that’s the truth, so there’s a lot of weasel words in this summary. You’ll have to forgive us for this one – we prefer to be precise over definitive whenever possible. (And we apologize for not having cited sources here -- if something's incorrect, please call us on it!)

Finally: there is a more official lore document! It contains more details on pretty much everything here, focuses more on puzzle-solving, and also contains a great theorycrafting section -- you can read that here (and thank you to Lucid for creating it!)

Okay. Enough preamble. Let's get into the thick of it.

Legundo has been traveling the multiverse for a while, hopping from modded world to modded world from where he left his S2 Hardcore world behind. He seems to have at least some amount of partial amnesia, as he starts to remember things about his past over time, but to begin with he doesn’t remember (or at least doesn’t seem to remember) where he came from.

Legundo is also not alone – he’s being followed. Strange monoliths appear in certain worlds, made of blackstone/gilded blackstone when “dormant” and obsidian/crying obsidian when “active”. He speaks to these at first as though they can help him, but gradually becomes more and more suspicious of them, and eventually comes to realize they are harbingers of a group of entities/entity called Decem.

Decem has a history with Legundo that unravels throughout the course of the series. They have several associated motifs in addition to the monoliths/crying obsidian – most notably among them are eyes (especially Dimensional Doors) and usage of chess terminology/general references to chess. They also have a custom musical leitmotif -- current link to it here. (You'll usually be able to hear this one or something similar playing around when he stumbles across a monolith, I'm pretty sure.)

Despite “Decem” meaning “ten”, there are actually nine entities in the group, called Aspects. Each Aspect is associated with a different color and has a different title:

the Warrior, red

the Seer, orange

the Historian, yellow

the Merchant, green

the Senator, cyan

the Philosopher, purple

the Noble, pink

the Scientist, grey

the Wizard, black

Members of Decem are prone to infighting and general disagreements on how to solve their problems, especially the problem of Legundo; apparently, at some point Legundo was a member of the group himself, called the Architect and by process of elimination associated with the color blue. Decem seem to want Legundo back, but also don’t seem to fully agree on what method of doing this will be best. Legundo is also not particularly happy about this, referring to his cycle of modded worldhopping as a sort of prison, but he doesn’t seem to remember much (if any) of his past as the Architect.

When the world download for Hardcore S2 was released, viewers were made aware of a new faction, called the Alterans, who appear to be in direct conflict with Decem. While Decem claim that the Alterans are trying to “hide the truth” from us, the Alterans imply that they view their conflict with Decem as a desperate bid for survival (though they do also refer to it as a game of chess). At some point, they did something “ridiculous” as of yet unclear; they also apparently hosted the amnesiac Legundo at some point. Apparently, they were largely against telling him anything about where he came from, although they did “leave him his name” despite it being supposedly risky. It’s unclear if they are the cause of Legundo’s amnesia and/or his leaving Decem, but they certainly don’t want him to remember anything more than he already has. (As of Undercover, it seems extremely likely they are at the very least the cause of the Architect’s fall.)

Decem has a tendency to speak directly to viewers of 100 Days Multiverse videos, especially when Legundo dies or when other glitches occur. When this happens, they tend to leave links to hidden videos/audio clips and/or puzzles that lead to these things. As of right now, they appear to be offering the viewers who have solved their puzzles some sort of job, and may also be showing up on the viewer SMP during its fifth season (the chronology of this is very unclear – see Undercover). It’s unclear what this position within Decem entails, although given their chess motif it’s probably not an unreasonable assumption to say that they are recruiting new pawns.

Probably one of the number one things i am so curious about in Psychonauts 2 (besides most of the obvious "what next?" questions) is What was Nick Johnsmith like??? How on earth did he manage to act in any sort of way that was charming and endearing to all the Psychonauts, even the more grumpy/skeptical types like Oleander or Sasha. Literally what was he like to make everyone so genuinely shocked that they jump in their seats when Hollis suspects him of some sort of wrongdoing.

Like is Gristol actually a really good actor??? When he's not trying to pretend to be someone else? Obviously he couldn't impersonate Truman well enough to fool Lili but that feels like a given. He didn't know the guy personally.

But from what we've seen, he wove some sort of genuinely convincing persona with Nick Johnsmith for a long period of time. Was he just an unassuming sweetheart type to everyone who stayed to himself but was always very cordial with others in the rare times that he did interact with them (which I feel would just be him being nasty and irritating as usual when he was alone but putting on some of that mandatory "royal dignitary behavior" I'm sure he was trained to have in his childhood) or was he like. Actually an active personality in the Motherlobe. Did he actually hang out at the Noodle Bowl and get in on all the office drama and all that and fully embody this other guy.

If so, what would the office staff think of him now? How many of them would genuinely hate him now knowing who he is and how many of them would play the "Well I don't know him as that guy so I don't really care/forgive him" and move on quickly????

Pls feel free to share your takes.

Oh man Tobirama is just so interesting to me because in my head; he is someone who is so deeply affected by emotion; who loves without abandon, desperately; who is equally terrified by that and spends most of his life trying to repress it into oblivion and chop it up into tiny little manageable pieces. And fails, of course. Characters are interesting when they fail.

It's rarely pointed out that the maxim of "the perfect shinobi is emotionless", so often picked apart in Naruto and touted as one of the tenets of shinobi-hood in Konoha, very likely came from Tobirama himself. It's a philosophy he expresses even as a child (oof).

Which honestly, might have been the best coping strategy they had to deal with the insane pressure cooker of tragedy they were thrown into from a very young age. It's certainly not helped by Butsuma, who practically encourages that philosophy.

But despite saying this... well, it's not like Tobirama can throw away his own bonds either. He can't help himself: he tries to protect the people he loves, as we see when he gets in between Butsuma and Hashirama when Butsuma is about to hit Hashirama. (Fuck Butsuma, btw. I highly encourage patricide in this case.)

But it's not like Tobirama having totally misguided ideas about how to manage mental health and wellbeing changed the fact that he did institute good in-universe as well.

Hashirama's vision was so insane, but in that time Tobirama supported it full-heartedly and arguablely was responsible for much of the actual execution. He's responsible for the creation of institutions like the Academy, the ANBU, Chunin Exams.

He, unlike both Madara and Hashirama, argues for democracy and an election of the leader by the will of the people, which is definitely an unusual thing for a shinobi to suggest.

Anyway, back to the emotional repression thing. Shinobi sure do love forgetting that anger is an emotion (hi Kishimoto this one's definitely on you as a dude), and Tobirama absolutely gets angry, and doesn't seem to recognize that it is an emotion. Classic toxic masculinity at work, thank you very much Senju Butsuma.

This isn't to say that he's a perfect character, or an evil character either. I like him because I think he's imperfect. He has so many flaws, but he's always trying to do (what he thinks is) the right thing, which is a great setup for a very interesting character. Absolutism in a character tends to be much less interesting than struggle, contradiction, and desire.

Anyways I think my thoughts can be summed up as:

#.txt #hes my blorbo ! cna you tell ithink about him a lot. #he kks obt (and sometimes mdr n hsrm) occupy a big fat chunk of real estate in my brain #this is NOT a proper analysis or laid out argument or anything #ya girl b thinkin out loud. it's an incoherent rambling on one of my fav characters. #not even gonna touch on the u chiha thing i think that would take a whole separate and much longer post #I won't get into the argument about whether xyz is a ''good'' person or not #first of all that's tiring; second I think that by the standards of modern reality no one in Naruto-verse is a good person #it's important to identify what moral standard you're judging the characters with #and often people switch rapidly between canon-verse n reality OR two people argue from separate standards which obviously leads to conflict #tobirama
