PSTL Fan Archive

A PSTL Fan Project

[pstlarchive]

Welcome to the PSTL Archive!

Heyo to all that wander here!

The PSTL Fan archive is an ambitious project to analyze and record down the personalities, appearances, skills/knowledge, relationships, equipment, voices, and AU of the many characters portrayed by Press Start to Laugh

The archive/wiki is posted here on Ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/81352341/chapters/213871596#workskin

A secondary primary focus being on expanding the Hero Au started by BiblicallyAccurateBirchTree’s in their Ao3 story linked here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/74395616, which is the fic that inspired me to make the archive

The Press Start To Laugh Channel: https://youtube.com/@pressstarttolaugh?si=lilYztJafgyqlmdu

Disclaimers:

Being of the human variety, these notes might be skewed by bias or potential misinterpretation of who the character is, any constructive criticisms or corrections would be most awesome sauce to hear

All takes on these characters are valid, within reason and including the creator's own views on them, the archive reads are my own but can adjust (and will be cited back to owner) if there's a take I find fits the character

I also recommend also checking out the TV Tropes on PSTL series for more in-depth trope analysis on the characters:

I haven't watched justin's vids yet but like this is case family right

Absolutely. Kit's full of rage, Justin is (sort of) full of whimsy, and Eddie my boy is full of fear

[pstlarchive]

Justin is definitely full of the most whimsy of the Case Family Trio shown so far, No Longer Human, but in his earlier episode he was the Full of Rage cynical type in the What If the Hunter talked in Monster Hunter World

@pstl-updates shame, you really need to be more effective in doing your job /j

I've decided that the canon reason that the me in the banner for this blog has pupils while my main blog pfp is heroing it is bc I wear special contacts when I do my news segments to seem more Normal and Trustworthy

[pstlarchive]

Noice

[pstlarchive]

Ight, let's get into it:

Lyn/Lyre, the mascot/creator of the archive in lore, was a void thing that drifted through dimensions, not really tangible enough to interact but loved to watch how those unfolded, their interests in different clusters of dimensions changed over time, untill they found a cluster with a group of travelers from outside these dimensions, slowly found and lurked into these spaces the traveler often hung out in as a pocket of nearly invisible void, got curious if they could physically appear in front of these peeps people, figure out they could wear clothing and began experimenting with a form, and boom gained the form I currently posted them as (Considering drawling them a human version like your person, & visible fluid void form)

Though, after searching through what the group had gathered info wise about the PSTL cluster, they felt dissatisfied with what little there was so they decided to get a space of their own and create an archive to store notes/general overviews of these dimensions

In relation to the PSTL News studio, Lyn watches the News every time the PSTL Update studio goes live to make sure there aren't new dimensions within the cluster to worry about

[pstlarchive]

I LOVE ASKING QUESTIONS :D

Say Brad (creator of press start to play, formally known as hiveleader) were to come to tumblr and see the stuff you said or made about PSTL. What would be your OVERALL reaction? Would you be mortified, slightly embarrassed, pleasantly surprised or excited…you can’t choose both the polls don’t allow that (I wish I could tbh)

How would you feel if Brad saw your blog

Mortified

Slightly embarrassed

Pleasantly surprised

Excited

Voting ended onMay 4

[pstlarchive]

If Brad had a Tumblr, I'd be bullying him for info like:

The archive's little cringe but probably be fine, same with meh main, it that would just provide confirmation of PSTL fans's neurodivergency

[pstlarchive]

Made a blurbo for the archive!

Their name is Lynn or Lye (Bigender (women & man) be projected upon them from their creator)

[pstlarchive]

was looking through your blog (and I have to say it is so cool. I just found this on my feed and now I'm into press start to laugh cuz of it) and I saw one of your posts had the word factoid on it.

sorry if this comes off as like demeaning and ☝️🤓 but just wanted to let you know factoid means a false statement presented as a fact.

Ooo, thank you Anony, that's good to know :-)

I'll replace it with Fun facts then, if you know of any other words that mean something similar to Fun Fact I would love know

Also, Welcome to the PSTL Fandom! It's a wonderful small community with a bunch of awesome sauce peeps. I'm glad this blog got you into it

Ight, wishing yee an awesome sauce time, whenever that might be
