The Beginning Era

So you're probably looking at the pic of the beginnings era and wondering, what the fuck is going on. Allow me to explain or at least simplify since a lot of bullshit happened. So to start, this is the era in which the OG characters debuted in, it also happens to be the era where classic was tortured the most by characters like scp girl, demon meggy (aka hell meggy), etc. 
If i had to boil it down i guess i can say that this era was completely random and chaotic. No seriously, one minute classic is being raped by mario and scp girl to attempt to force a confession outa him to inkling meggy. Then the next minute a bunch of inklings just straight up fall in love with his bitch ass. Of course at this point you're probably starting to catch on that classic has a thing for inklings. 
Also batman around this time didn't really act the way villains do in the modern era or even as they did in the gacha war era. Instead classic considered batman a friend and actually, batman helped out classic a bunch of times. Like tryna save him from being raped (yeah it failed but at least he tried.) There was also quan chi around this time but he only set the groundwork for how the villains would begin to act later on (raping people, and annoying the fuck outa people until they go insane or just kill themselves.) On this note though, it is fair to mention that batman was haunting ink meggy and classic around this time, scaring the shit outa them and driving them nuts. Batman also attacked ink meggy in her own dream but then classic entered the dream and beat the shit outa batman.
So yeah as you can tell this era had very random things that made no sense and hell sometimes the plot just didn't care what happened (no like seriously how can classic enter dreams? That ability was only a thing for the convenience of the plot at the time.) I mean classic even went evil during this time and ruthlessly attacked the heroes with thanos, darkseid, etc. Classic then made one final speech before ending up in hell after turning to dust because of a virus...? Yeah i have no fuckin clue anymore. Either way this leads right into the gacha war era which has a little more organization and a fuck ton more characters.
