Part 1.2: Palette & Reinterpretation. (CW: Grooming)

I would've moved onto the next part. But I didn't. Because there is something I feel also must be covered before I continue with the series of posts.

Palette. Grooming Implications and Grooming Mentioned below.

In practically any coverage of controversial writing from Glip/Purplekecleon. This never gets covered, as this happens in the background with side characters (and it's surprisingly not THAT on the nose considering this is PMD-E we are talking about), so perhaps no one focuses on her? Well, I will still cover this at it's still quite a heavy subject matter. Palette is a Zoroark who was taken in by the Smeargle, Pal. This is shown in Doujin 1, which is quite obscure, but the story can be read in full on here. Later, the Zorua grows up and becomes an artist alongside Pal, in hopes of making up for her past actions of leaving clients with fake art pieces. Quite wholesome stuff on the surface, with a story even being made of Pal trying to pay off his debts to help buy a good home for him and Palette. The aforementioned story can be read here. If that's all this was, then I wouldn't be discussing this. Unfortunately, it's not. Glip had made decently strong implications the two could've become Lovers at the end of Inspiration. Said story can be read right here. Perhaps that may not be enough proof of anything foul waiting, for some anyways. But then it becomes FAR more problematic when you check their wiki page and check the name tags for one of the art pieces

Reunion between two lovers.

Source, This Page.

I also cannot link to anything for obvious reasons of Tumblr's Rules, but Glip had at one point reblogged someone's NSFW art of the two in bed, on their own NSFW blog from back in the day. One can't help but call into question why there'd be implied love between someone who took in another when they were a child. ---------------------- Now. As mentioned. It's still somewhat ambiguous and not outright explicitly shown and talked about like with the Rhodes story. But the subtext more than tries to bake it in for the readers. Because of this, I've always seen it more fit for Pal and Palette to have a Father and Daughter bond. It never made sense to make the two "lovers". And as there isn't direct canon content that makes the two outright a couple, I will basically just decide to leave it at that. I could call this a retcon, and it likely counts as that. But considering PMD-E is for the most part pretty clear where it stands when writing varying topics (most of which of questionable intent), I will repurpose the two to remain something far less sinister, and something far more wholesome. In other words, I'll call this a Reinterpretation.

I will not deny there was likely something very bad brewing from the writing. But I feel it is ambiguous enough that I can actually salvage this particular part of the writing.

Part 1: Canon. To Be or NOT to be?

"That is the question".

...... Alright, for real. When dealing with a roleplay verse that was as actively large on it's lore (even if much of it wasn't very good or well made), One may have to ask: #1. "Where would YOU Start, Neo?" I doubt anyone is seriously asking this, but if you are at this point and are curious..... It would mostly go without saying Mission's 1-7 are all completely canon to the character's lives. Tao High is NOT canon (not that it ever was), Nuzlocke is technically canon to PMD-E, but as it wasn't brought up much, it technically has no relevance as far as my story is concerned. And of course.... #2. "What about Mission 8?" Ah. Well, this gets a little trickier. See, at this point, some major drama was going on behind the scenes between the creators, and PK was very soon going to launch Floraverse, so they had seemingly less and less involvement on certain missions. It got to a point that some mods had to make up tasks that were far more standard and peaceful (VERY likely due to how violent Mission 8, the one that took place in the past, was.) Therefore, it could be said these tasks are canon, but once again, lack major relevancy, if any at all. Nextly, Mission 8 past AND present are all canon. Finally, Mission 8 Epilogue. This is where a major liberty will be taken. #3. Mission 8 Epilogue: "Art is never finished, only abandoned" As stated prior, PK and the others were quickly falling out of interest. But before the group got shutdown, they released two last Epilogue Comics and Manuscripts. One that was for an unfinished Mission 8 Part 2. And another for a very rough (and oddly visually comical) parts 3-5 that end on a MAJOR cliffhanger. What many however may not be aware of is that there WAS a continuation comic that seemingly went on from this. And so, such can be read right..... Here. So, to clarify, The following of the epilogue will be made directly canon. Epilogue Parts 1 and 2. That's right. The content occuring afterwards (parts 3-5) will be labeled as Non-Canon. For a good reason too. This ranges for reasons such as: - More Kecleon Family OC's (and once again, they steal the show). - Micle at this point is given an oddly comedic role (mostly getting hit by Peach, or even just being there for this odd Carnival that they want to do), it just feels like more downplay and almost as if Glip wanted you to laugh with him around? IDK. - Gnasher is brought back as Slasher. But it kind of seemed like all he was going to do was go back to serving and kneeling under Devonshire (who in Live Chat's, I've made it no secret I vastly dislike). - Mike's full on switch to villain mode. Granted, he wasn't exactly always an upstanding guy in the story, but due to the Drama between Michael and PK had at the time, this landed in PK spitefully writing Mike to make him EVEN WORSE than he already was. Essentially just dying after this. (If you need Proof that the writing was just PK spite writing Mike, look no further than THIS comic right here.) - Lastly, there was also the matter of Chill's Return. Which Chill at this point was just a caricature of CrayonChewer's actual Chill. He was often portrayed as a bit of a jerk in mission 8 while spewing slang. Leading to a Chill that doesn't feel like Chill, but someone wearing his face. For these reasons, I am uninterested in continuing from this low point. And instead will start a new continuation following Jasmine returning those stuck in the past back to the present. More on that will come in a later post.

Why PMD-E First? (Long Text Wall Ahead)

It may seem odd. The possibility of creating fanfiction for a verse that for all intents and purposes, kind of only existed just for PK and Co, and less the collab. This really isn't so much about the "potential" of the verse, one could even argue there isn't any to be found that couldn't be found in ethically better made stories. ......Except for Rhodes. It's a well known fact for anyone that's actually bothered getting into the lore of this verse that Rhodes is perhaps the most depressing tragedy in terms of his writing. And the amount of hurt he was put through, from beginning all the way to the group's end. I will later make posts in regards to that with the appropriate mature tags. Those who already know, they know.

This has all been a bit of a long time in the making. I'll admit, I've always consumed and both critiqued media, and also have praised the medium to what, in my personal opinion, it's been able to offer in it's finest. But I've never actually written content before. It's all only existed in my head for years. But I figured that most of the verse was extremely low bar. So, rather than make a pet project my first go, I shall use this instead. Could this be considered a "Salt Fic?" Maybe. Maybe Not. It's so easy to put characters through suffering just because you may not like them. But I also want to do this and give Rhodes a proper conclusion. A Fair conclusion. It's what it all comes down to really. I'll admit, despite the fact that writing better than Glip/PK ever did is easy enough (simply holding the characters accountable), what isn't is the dark subject matters PK seemingly enjoyed writing in and glossing over or EVEN making light of, especially if it came to ensuring an entire audience of players could see said content. More on that in the future. Finally, as this will be my first fanfic. It likely won't even be that good. I suppose it'll just be for me, but I'll try what I can. And whatever criticism I may get, I will be able to use it as a bridge to learn for projects I actively want to work on. This blog will for now be used to mark ideas. I want to plan the verse, so if I ever discontinue it, I can just reveal the rest of the documents worth of ideas and let the audience have the Raw Text to the conclusion itself. Yes, The tags for the varying ideas of this fanfic will be properly labeled to reflect their mature content and subject matters, as I do not have any interest of anyone BUT adults reading this.

Thank You for reading all this, maybe. Maybe you did not and skipped to the end. Still, you have my thanks.

Hello I'm the anon who tried to found that part of the chapter of resignation

Just found out that the chapter was leaked by Glitchedpuppet and was meant to be private in the first place

I have zero words to explain my reaction of this

I'm no longer trying to find that chapter, and it's the best for me and /or everyone, because this chapter should NOT have been leaked in the first place

Nevermind I'm not reading

#purplekecleon/glitchedpuppet why another reason why glip should not be given another chance

Fair enough.

Both of the leaked nsfw stories didn't add anything to the lore or anything anyways.

which really makes you wonder why Glip, in their infinite wisdom, decided to publicize those and make those canon to the lore in the first place...

and also how it happened twice, which is usually enough to make a doofenshmirtz nickel meme about.

"I'm trying my best to find where the fanfic of PMD-E is, mainly, the fanfic of what happened behind the fanfic resignation chapter 1

The one by PK/Glip, mind you"

↑ tried

If you mean the full version of resignation...

I'm still on the fence about posting a link to the full thing because it's got sex between PK and Shroomsworth and I don't usually post NSFW stuff on this account. Even tagging this as Mature Content, I still don't feel right about posting about something that minors can fake their age and see. If you're one of those minors faking your age to see stuff you shouldn't, then stop. Don't make the same mistake other minors before you have with seeing this story. It's not worth it.

That said, I can tell you the steps, but that's as far as I can go.

It'll be in the comment section of this artwork, titled "Allow Me", on Glip's deviantart page:

A couple of people have posted links to the full story, which you'll have to use archive.md to access. It won't work on web archive.

I should also mention that Glip didn't write Resignation, only drew art for it and was also responsible for spreading the full version around.
