Introducing my epic 1x1x1x1 headcanon/au pre Forsaken. Where og 1x doesn't immidiately perish after being corrupted by Telamon's hatred and instead lives on inside 1x's mindscape. (To avoid confusion: I call og - One and the 1x we know - X)

Plot synapsis:
▪︎ Telamon's hatred corrupts One, he's effectively dead for 10 years (his consciousness is pushed far far away while X takes control)
▪︎ X gets sealed away for causing too much trouble, he ends up in his mindscape which also spawns One there
▪︎ X is actually witty and has a personality besides hatred when One was around just because of One's soul shaping him
▪︎ But X is still 90% Telamon's hate, despite that he still starts caring for One in his own way (despite still being terrible)
▪︎ One is 10 when all this starts in the mindscape (and also 10 when he got corrupted) he only realizes that X might actually be Telamon when he's 14 (in the images)
▪︎ One likes to draw, X is very protective of him; I SHALL PROTECT THE WORLD OF 2D.
▪︎ I wanna reiterate that the only reason X isn't pure malice and hate is because he carries one in his soul
