✦ So I finally learned what those bold tags that show up in the search are. It's like the "official" spelIing of the tag. I don't know how tag wrangling works, so I don't know why certain names were chosen. Eh. Is it like... fan submitted or do they just try their best? There's some interesting stuff in here.

Relationships

Mostly from NotebookAU hehe. And Innerconflict #1 ship in the fandom. Wonder why the other innerships weren't included.

Characters

Some are from the Mary Sue fic. 1. It's honestly funny they chose "Conspiracy Guy" as his name even though his full title is "Leader of the Ancient Conspiracy." He's just a guy. No respect. 2. Chainsaw's full name 👍How come he gets to have a real name. 3. JP Beaubien from REAL LIFE NO FANDOM. Technically yeah. I wonder if we can get it changed to Inner Ego if we present a good enough argument. 4. Hehehe the Inners' full names hehe. Wait what Integrity wasn't included, even though he appeared in the same fic as Creativity, hehehehe?

This bit about two inner critics from the Honest Thoughts on Finishing a Story is a really really fun concept. Secret evil shadow inner critic that's only mean and not helpful. The Voice is also such a cool name.

"Can we have one too? I’ll trade you a doughnut for it! I want to check out the class on Graphic Design Basics." (Cult Leader, Avoiding Scams)

✦ Line that I would expect to come out of a fanon mischaracterization, but no, Cult Leader really does offer a freaking donut for the sponsor. (It was specifically a Skillshare Premium Membership, so not even the episode's sponsorship) Well, at least all the shenanigans we put him through aren't that far off then. He's kiiind of a comic relief character? It's a comedy, all the characters are meant to be funny, but he's different because he's not really after the sponsors and is way more polite and nonviolent. Usually. And that contrast between his role as the cannibalistic leader of an apocalyptic cult and offering donuts to the villain congregation is funny. Good writing, JP.

✦ Hey guys, anyone know what Audible is? Is it anything like a Walkman or Betamax? "Okay grandpa..." Stop calling me grandpa and just answer the question. [sci fi weapons]

hehehe, he only knows tech from before i was born. oh... he is right though, those are audio recording and playback devices

✦ A sword! And they call me old fashioned. ... Don’t get smart with me, young whippersnapper. I was manipulating world governments back when your empire was still a city state on planet backwater. [holiday specials]

ehehehe And not to be rude, but the Emperor looks like he's been ruling for quite a while.

✦ Because we are hip and with it now or whatever it is the kids say these days. [spies]

✦ Kids these days… [attack list - mentors]

✦ CEO: Well, if it isn’t my favorite group of has-beens, the ancient conspiracy. Shame I can't turn fossils like you into fuel. ACL: Don’t you sass me. You know why I’m here, thief! You Bilderberg Group snobs think you can just walk all over us you bunch of Johnny-come-latelies. [comic relief characters]

fossils... and the general implication that acl has been around before megacorp.

✦ He runs the Ancient Conpiracy [sic], which is like a country club for out of touch old people with even less fashion sense. age: 264 years old [general chainsaw's notes - killing off characters]

SOLDIER: Sorry, general. They’re noncoms. CULT LEADER: We actually have tax exempt status in the Federation. (Humor Writing)

Noncom: (noun) a noncommissioned officer.

an enlisted person, as a sergeant or corporal, holding any of various ranks below commissioned or warrant officers. [Dictionary.com]

an officer (such as a sergeant or corporal) who has a low rank in the army, air force, or marine corps [Britannica.com]

a subordinate officer (such as a sergeant) in the army, air force, or marine corps appointed from among enlisted personnel [merriam-webster.com]

The Baron losing his betrayal flowchart(?)

Cult Leader lost his password on a sticky note, although I have a guess. (love interests)

Conspiracy Guy multiple times, needs the sponsor to keep track of things. His ultimate goal isn't even written down yet. I mean, he wants to take over the universe yeah, but for what purpose? Just continue running things behind the scene
