Fakevery being more knowledgeable than Avery interests me. Like the King gave him similar, mayhaps sometimes terminologically incorrect factoid abt d3rlord3's hobbies. And we know d3r is into some weirdly complex hobbies. It was Fakevery's odd amount of (...) not being a dummyhead that tipped him off as being an imposter.
I wonder if he knew what he was doing. I like to imagine Fakevery was not much more than a blank canvas running off of the same two preprogrammed thoughts it was given, things like finding d3rlord3 and making sure he was okay. Ex
This is the minimal amount of effort the King put into Fakevery. Avery's persistence and concern for d3rlord3 is here to get d3rlord3 hooked to believe that this is Avery, since those ARE things he says almost verbatim later on
Note! Fakevery does not acknowledge past experiences Avery would have had, such as opening the book or even the idea that he's witnessed something behind the gates. Fakevery has no idea what d3r is referencing
Fakevery shows curiosity. This seems irrelavent buuut it parallels the plotbeats d3r had in the first episode. Hear me out!! I'm having a brainbaby. d3r in sfawtde video is faced with a new world, and feels the urge to explore despite being warned off by the mystery person that he needs to turn back. Disconnect.
This is the same 'conversation' you could say that d3r had in sfawtde before seeing the gates. The whole concept of being told to leave and continuing to push to explore anyways.
Relavent to Fakevery? 100 freaking percent. This is the bit kiy designed to be as appealing to d3r as possible, it shares his curiosity.
And not only shares it, Fakevery has the quick reasoning to understand not only d3r's explainatjon but identifies it as Conways game of life, albeit misspelly probably to adhere veery shallowly into still trying to be a convincing Avery, if not unknowingly.
I highlighted "wouldnt that go against the logic?" Because it shows that Fakevery isnt doing this for show. The active pushback tells me that he's treating this more or less like a real, good-faith conversation. As if it views itself and d3r to be on the same intellectual level. Interesting.
Its more likely that Fakevery ceased to exist the moment the King realized its attempt failed. But I wonder what tiny, underdeveloped thoughts were going through his head as he fell. He was compelled to find and talk to d3r, but has no memories of him, no solid reason to want to be near him. Only the same two or three repeating phrases in his head he'd just been created with.
If I wanna write Fakevery I wanna start here and build off of this deep confusion and artifical betrayal. Not betrayed because he felt a connection with d3r, but betrayed because his thoughts tell him one thing he SHOULD feel about d3r, while his experiences say another. Confusion because on top of that, there isnt anything else he assuredly knows about his own personality, who he is, where he came from.
- Compelled to be near d3r
- Concern for a being other than himself (can be generalized OR localized specifically to d3r, both are good and interesting routes to take)
- apparent higher intelligence/reasoning skills, maybe similar to d3r's
- noteable curious nature
Bullet points to build from.... this is mostly for myself.
An idea: if Fakevery didnt evaporate and instead found his way through the worlds, finding Avery stuck at the church.
Thats weird. This person looks exactly like him. Disturbing and unusual since he doesnt even know who he is. Could this be similar to the mountains having multiple parts? Are Avery and himself connected in some way?
And more importantly, like the mountains, them both only having 'one neighbor', does this mean one of them has to vanish?
quickly firguing out whats wrong with Avery, and then choosing to remove the signs and leave Avery there to rot. Fakevery continues forward, looking for d3r like his thoughts are telling him to, and maybe bitter, searching for revenge over d3r for tricking him.
Fakevery's the one to make it to the library, and d3r clocks it immediately. Things ensue...
