tee hee :3c

oops more post-it note inscryption doodles

p03 edition

wake up babe new hyperfixation just dropped

SOMEONE FINALLY did it 🔥

The four Scrybes as objects ! 💾 Every episode they fight over who gets to be the host this time

MORE INSCRYPTION IN THIS STYLE PLEASE shakes my tin can with extremely few pennies and dimes in it 🥺

guy on my tv keeps insulting me what do i do

I am LOOKING

More human P03, just because he's a cutie patootie

Uhhhhh Did one for him,,,

i finally made my own character bingo go nuts inbox (feel free to rb)

ghost that possesses broken tech

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

I drew the bots OMG

As well as my persona <3333

Anyone that does the eye twitch detail gets a gold star from me

🙄

RAAAGGHHHH HGRRRGHRGHHJGRKJDHJGHRJSHJK

I don't think I ever posted it, but I do have a full body ref for P03 (legs edition)!

They're mostly accessibility upgrades, but the crank is for comfort (yes he still has the cowboy boot accessories he just doesn't wear them often anymore)

Also you guys seem to like his 9/11 shirt a lot :v

THE ROBOT BABY??? /SILLY

I think P03 is simultaneously the guy who's tell a crying baby on a bus to shut the fuck up while gently rocking it.

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. ]

THIS ROBOT IS SO FREAKING STUPID AND PATHETIC I NEED HIM IN MY HOUSE. I will admit I would’ve had the same reaction as Leshy 😭

WIP that is draining my life essence

P03 Edit I made cause Im normal /silly

My submission for Inscryptober Week 4: Transcendence!! NOT FAIR NOT FAIR I WAS SUPER DUPER BUSY ON MY FAVORITE WEEK 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

BUT YOU CAN HAVE THIS SMALL THING!!! I wasn't able to do anything TOO big, and I’ll probably do another sketch later today teehee

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. ]

What happened to my stoat???

A quick sketch I did wondering what the Inscryption P03-fied stoat would look like if we saw its whole body 🤔

ERM IDK HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL LIKE THIS but I have an Inscryption AU where in the past, P03 and the Uberbots had separate bodies and were siblings, and they have a mom that goes by “M0THERB0ARD”. As for how P03+The Uberbots “age” in this AU, when their programming/consciousness reaches a certain level of maturity, they transfer to a larger version of their model. Oh yeah and they also had a horrible father figure that Im still figuring out. [WIP] If anyone is interested in this AU or has questions, feel free to shoot me an ask!

Eheheheheh nice pfp :3

HI CAN YOU TELL IM A FAN

IM COMING TO TAKE WHATS MINE

Submission for Inscryptober Week 3: Out of Bounds! VERY last minute so its just a sketch, but I really love it, especially with the ARG happening in the server for the anniversary Happy Anniversary to such an amazing, life changing game!

Think of it as like a filler post or something

Also i brought back Xeno cause i still love her very deeply😔

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!

INSCRYPTOBER week 1: TRANSFORMATION

i went a pretty obvious route conceptually w this first week, but i tried to branch out a bit w the composition! you can read this piece however you like but i will be the first to admit that grimora's exclusion does kinda frame this piece as a romantic tragedy, i am a creature of habit lmao

DAY ONE OF INSCRYPTOBER 2024 (hopefully I spelt that right)

I'm so hyped to do these, hopefully I finish them all :]

INSCRYPTOBER 2024 is here! the annual art/writing-based inscryption event for the fandom to get creative and share cool art and writing for the spooky season!

as usual, we have one theme per week, and thanks to the way october is structured this year, we have five whole weeks of themes! and of course, there's no lower limit on participation: i’ll likely be doing one or two art pieces a week, and you all can choose to participate as much or as little as you’d like depending on your own schedules and creative stamina! this event is for fun, not stress ^^

thanks to the scrybruary and more discord server for helping me nail down the themes this year! if you'd like to join the server you can do so right here, it's a chill spot for sharing art and fandom discussion; though of course you don't have to join to partake in this event!

if you're new to the event, i highly recommend checking out the #inscryptober tag to see what other folks have come up with in recent years, and to see the themes we've had previously! i'm excited to see what everyone comes up with this year :D happy inscrybing!

my descriptions for the themes got a bit long this time, so if you'd like any guidance or inspiration for these themes you can find all that along with the plain text under the cut!

INSCRYPTOBER 2024

Week 1: Oct 1-5

Transformation

Between the changes undergone by the Disk’s characters to suit each takeover and the manner in which Inscryption itself has altered those unfortunate enough to encounter it, this first theme has quite a few spooky avenues to take! Let your canvas be bathed in the light of the full moon however you see fit…

Week 2: Oct 6-12

Elements

Blood and bone, energy and mox…the world of Inscryption has an unconventional array of core elements that make up its cards and residents! And considering that deep beneath the surface, each of those elements are mere lines of code and digital data…it’s entirely up to you how deeply you’d like to explore those elements.

Week 3: Oct 13-19

Out of Bounds

Inscryption’s disk has many characters, sequences, and secrets that were never meant to be seen…or were simply never completed. This is the week to poke around those dark corners and catalogue whatever horrors and oddities make themselves known.

Week 4: Oct 20-26

Transcendence

Named for the grand design of the Scrybe of Technology, but it could refer to any of the Scrybe’s varying ideal forms (or lack thereof) for the game of Inscryption. And, of course, it would be remiss to mention the possibility of transcending the digital realm itself.

Week 5: Oct 27-31

Masquerade

As always, Inscryptober’s final week is themed for the season! This is the week to dress Inscryption’s characters in spooky regalia and eerie accessories…or merely to make use of the game’s existing ties to elaborate masks and sinister guises! 

Special note: Inscryption's anniversary is on the 19th!
