2018 Fake Supermental Lore Dump

On September 19, 2018, a fake leak about the "original plot" of Supermental was released to pastebin, under an anonymous user. It is believed that Connor planted the leak himself, but that has not been confirmed.

Connor has stated before that only some parts of it are true, and some parts are false. As of writing this, June 2020, it's impossible to tell what is and isn't false. However, anything relating to the plot of Khonjin House before The Purge is confirmed to still be canon.

A lot of this article will be paraphrasing what the lore dump said.

The original lore dump can be found here.

## The Supermental and Deja

   The Supermental, completed, functions in simple terms; whoever uses it has their thoughts manifested into tangible things. The user cannot choose what comes forth, it just becomes.

The Supermental arrived from another world, a world with reverse physics. In our world, we have cause and effect, but this world has effect and cause. In our world the saying goes "I pushed the ball, so it rolled down the hill." In this other universe, the saying goes "the ball rolled down the hill, so I pushed it." When it showed up in our reality, it is what created our universe. The inverse of "something must have happened to cause the big bang," was "the big bang happened because it had to exist," a scientific law that allows the laws of physics to change.

In this fake leak, Deja would have been the final antagonist. He can best be described as a drifting evil, obsessed with the concept of movement. Unlike most foes, he has no powers to speak of. He is a concentrated hate bullet that is, against his will, the final thread holding reality together, as far as anyone knows that is.

When the Supermental arrived in our world, it broke into many pieces.

## The Quest for the Supermental Begins

The plot of Supermental begins as Pent and Smack decide to set off on a quest to find the Supermental pieces, for no other reason than the thrill of the adventure. One day, however, Pent gives up, and when he explains why, Smack notices he isn't telling the truth whatsoever, as days prior, their first supermental piece heist was thoroughly planned out in fratelli's pizza. Gino Fratelli is the boss of Fratelli's Pizzeria, and Pent's boss as well. After their successful heist, Pent notices he forgot something amidst the chaos; *his diary.* Gino was the one who ended up in posession of it was Gino Fratelli. Realizing this, Pent confronts Gino in his own restaraunt. Realizing he has some leverage over Pent, albeit not knowing why, Gino plays this to his advantage, and says he'll return his diary so long as he returns the favor, by telling Pent to break into an unspecified building and drop off an unmarked package. Thinking it sounds easy, Pent agrees and does so with relative success. When he returns to retrieve his diary, Gino does it with no resistance.

The next day, realization sets in, and Pent realizes what he had done. The package he delivered was filled with deadly poison, which killed everyone inside the building. It was a retaliatory effort on Gino's part to kill the family members of those opposing with his life as a mobster. As Pent nervously flips through his diary, he notices the final straw; all the pages mentioning his desire to be who she truly is, every page mentioning Shelby, had been torn out. He recieves a text from Gino, telling him that he has one more job to fulfill, and should he complete it, he will get the rest of his Diary. Smack soon notices his more erratic behavior.

Pent would rather die than tell Smack who she really is. He's her only friend, she cannot risk it.

## Deja Appears

As tensions rise between Pent and Smack, disaster strikes, as Deja makes his grand entrance. He has been running through the city, mowing people down. The entire city is in bedlam, as no one can stop him. They are rended through by a man and his gauntlets, and Smack decides to put their fight on hold to persue Deja. Pent, now at wits ends, threatened into killing again and the town being torn up, his whole life being turned upside down, is inspired. He allows a soothing rage to take over. The phrase "lets go for a walk" repeats in his mind as he walks directly into Fratelli's pizza, and encounters Gino watching tv and drinking whisky, oblivious to the approaching Pent. As he brandishes his switchblade, he slits Gino's throat, carving up the rest of his body to make it look as if Deja had struck.

Pent returns home, bloodied and battered, and collapses. As Smack returns, he fears the worst, and decides to dive into Pent's mind, trying to find the source of Pent's misery, and is immediately drawn to the one idea occupying Pent's headspace; The concept of *Shelby*. A violently pulsating light, visibly depressing his other faculties. This concept of Shelby is putting Pent under so much stress that it could very well kill him. Smack doesn't know how to interpret this, as he has no idea who or what Shelby is. Because this is the first time the idea of Shelby had ever reared it's head to him, Smack sees an opportunity. Maybe he can fix all of these horrible things happening to Pent, and in error, chooses to erase Shelby.

## Pent's Desire for Shelby

The reason Pent is he, instead of she, is because Shelby is who Pent truly is, and because the concept of Shelby has been erased, there is no Shelby. There is no girl to identify as. When Pent awakens, he is a husk, with no semblance of who he was. He is not happy, sad, or angry. He simply exists. The days pass, and nothing happens. He pretends everything is okay with the knowledge he is able to glean. People call him Pent, people say he likes to gamble; so he adopts these things, struggling to find something that makes him feel anything, until Supermental Episode (Promo) 1.

Pent returns home and locks the doors to his room once again. He reads through his diary that he had been going through for days, making no connection to what he had written, until he manages to find one scrap; the word Shelby on the corner of a page. In that moment, everything changes. He feels desire. Whatever Shelby is, he wants it. He soon realizes the pages have been ripped out, and that the pages that could've told him what Shelby is, are conveniently gone. Pent grows suspicious, thinking someone is keeping Shelby from him. That someone ripped out the pages of his diary to prevent him from knowing how to find her.

Tensions rise between Pent and Smack once again. Smack notices that every single thing Pent has said since his mind dive has been a fabrication. *Things that shouldn't be lies are lies*. Smack questions if he's really Pent. Bluffing, Pent states that he was right to assume he's not Pent, hoping to catch Smack off guard. But Smack's powers wont quit, and they tell him that this too is a lie. Enraged and confused, Smack starts to feel the weight of his actions.
Smack asks, "Are you Shelby?"
Pent again, says yes. But this too, is a lie. Smack, completely out of his element, begins to panic, trying to figure out what went wrong. He talks Pent down, and convices him that they will both get to the bottom of this. And thus, their next adventure begins; Fixing Pent. However, it is not meant to last.

## Fixing Pent

The quest for the second Supermental piece begins. They plan to steal the piece from a neighboring kingdom, but while attempting to pull it off, Pent accidentally gives their position away, and is jailed along with Smack. Eventually, Smack finds the means to break free, and searches for Pent, who was taken elsewhere. After some searching, Pent is found, and is offered a hug from Smack to celebrate their escape. However, as Smack goes in for this hug, he's given a single second to look into the future, realizing Pent's intent to pull his switchblade. His swipe misses, and Smack begins to piece together what has been happening. Pent gave their position away so they would be captured, with the intention to kill the guards, waltz out of his prison, and take the second piece for himself. But this plan had fallen through.

Pent comes to another conclusion about Smack. His journey for the supermental pieces has taught him the rules; anything you will into existence is destroyed when you die. While observing Smack's motives, he takes this into consideration. He wants to kill Deja, and the only information about him is that he was forced to use the Supermental.

Pent then realizes, he woke up with one day, out of nowhere, with nothing going on inside of him, with no explanation until now. Pent believes if Smack kills Deja, he will cease to exist. He believes Deja is the one who created him.

So now, Pent has a new plan: Kill Smack before he gets the chance.

## The New Plan/Khonjin House Begins

Pent and Smack, both drowning in betrayal and rage, come to blows. Smack's intentions are to incapacitate Pent as the fight goes on, but Pent's animosity and goading begins to urk him. So for the first time in his life, Smack decides to be selfish. He doesn't fight to neutralize Pent, he fights to hurt him. Instead of throwing a punch, he elbows Smack in the forehead as he goes in for another swipe. Pent is rattled, and falls to the ground, his head bleeding. He has lost. With no other reprieve, he gives up, and pulls out a Supermental piece. He then begins to drift into a comatose state, and a world begins to form. The Supermental attempts to bring what is inside of his head outwards, but there isn't anything there. Just odd fabrications of what things are supposed to be.

This is why Gilmore looks so similar to Deja, and why Gilmore is Khonjin's father, because Pent believes Deja created him.

This is why Khonjin is trans male, because Shelby is trans female.

The world of Khonjin House is formed, and Pent resides there as the blissfully unaware Khonjin, with Smack unable to dive into his mind due to the Supermental's power.

## Khonjin House/Smack Returns

Pent, in the world of Khonjin House, does not understand what it really is. When he's in his Khonjin Persona, he's not even aware he exists, and it's only through brief lapses like when he meets Gino that he has some semblance of who he's supposed to be. He at least recognizes Gino, and he thinks he's back in Nickville square. In it's simplest form, Pent is putting on the persona of Khonjin, hiding from reality and not even knowing it.

In Episode 30, Smack returns to the comatose Pent with a third Supermental piece, one that should be capable of breaking the barrier. He proves it works by causing Pent to revert back to himself rather than Khonjin, if only temporarily. Pent is not aware he's in control, but he learns as the series continues, and also learns that Smack is potentially running around in his head. In the original edit of Khonjin House Episode 40, Smack applies to work for Gilmore to get closer to Khonjin, and subsequently, figure out what this world is, and how to get out of it. It then becomes sort of a race of two people figuring out the same thing. If Pent figures out he has godlike powers in his mind, Smack may never escape. If he hesitates, Pent will never be saved.

With this, Pent begins searching for Shelby, which culminates in his date with Gay Spaghetti Chef, who is purely imaginative and does not have any links to Pent's real world self. No one knows who Shelby is because they all came from his mind, and he begins to grow frustrated. This then culminates in Episode 50, Grand Finale.

## Episode 50

In Episode 50 of Khonjin House, Gino offers Khonjin his slice of pepperoni pizza, the thing he's been seeking since the beginning of the series. Gino tells Khonjin to eat it with his eyes closed, and Khonjin accepts. Gino holds out a piece of the Supermental, left by Smack in the previous episode, and as Khonjin touches it, Khonjin and Pent are finally separated. Gino reveals to Pent what he had been suspecting; Smack is indeed inside his mind. He punches Gino, knocking him to the ground, as his head begins to periodically bleed, as Smack's presence is something he can't mentally shake. To him, the elbow to the head was proof that his suspicions were correct. He feels when Smack is there. Fortunately, just like the barrier to his head, Smack is able to break Khonjin to his components; the illusion, and Pent.

In the end, Pent is powerless, and in a desperate attempt, lunges at Smack. Khonjin freezes him, and Pent and Smack are banished outside his head. This is when the final development comes in for them.
