*"Our team name has to be something solid, that stands out, and isn't dumb. RIGHT BOOKWORM?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"*
―Cori and Bookworm[src]
**Bookworm** is the best friend of Cori and Silverhawk, and one of the co-creators of *Advanced Randomness*. Journeying to become successful people in the entertainment industry, Bookworm and his friends were constantly attacked by Levi, who sought to eliminate Silverhawk under the orders of his superiors. Re-watching the *Advanced Randomness* Pilot with Silverhawk and Cori, Levi's violent actions against Bookworm led Silverhawk to fight Levi and defeat him. Several years later, Bookworm and Cori reunited with Silverhawk, and planned to throw a going-away party in light of his retirement from *LittleBigPlanet*. Targeted by Levi once more, Bookworm joined Silverhawk and Cori, alongside Ked and Jetmir, into the past, where Bookworm was held back to help clean up the messes Silver and his friends left behind. Bookworm was later kidnapped by Levi, before being rescued and participated in the ultimate final battle against Levi, leading to his death.

Returning to the present day, Bookworm and Cori were later dropped into the *Battle for BFLBI* initiative by Silverhawk and Four, and joined The Funny Badge, oblivious to the sinister backgrounds of both Kcaj and Dr. Zeon. While accompanied by Cori in a forest, Bookworm was attacked and stabbed in the back by Raymond Floyd. Resurrected, Bookworm later joined Cori and *The Incredible Crew* on a journey to Silverhawk's Apartment in the Crazy Dimension in order to stop him from activating the Gatekeeper's Portal. There, Bookworm witnessed the downfall of the King of Randomness.

## History

### Befriending Silverhawk and Cori

*"Bookworm... you have been my best friend since 2012..."*
―Cori[src]
In 2012, Bookworm met and befriended Silverhawk and Cori. He would later join them in their journey to create *Advanced Randomness*, the most insane and nonsensical piece of television entertainment ever created. Bookworm later moved into Silver's Hut.

### *Advanced Randomness HD*

#### Developing *Advanced Randomness*

*"Ugh, where the heck is Silverhawk?! Shouldn't he be back by now?"
"Hey, come on Cori! He's only been gone for a few hours, what's the rush?"
"Well, I'm just nervous, you know? This is a huge deal we're talking about! What if we get rejected? What if we-"
"Come on, Cori! This is Silverhawk we're talking about! I'm pretty sure they're gonna love it."
"Well, if you say so..."*
―Cori and Bookworm[src]

Bookworm helped Silverhawk and Cori create a test film for Silverhawk to present to the LittleBigFilmStation. The day the test film was presented, Bookworm and Cori stayed behind inside Silver's Hut, awaiting his return. Cori began questioning where Silver was, and became paranoid that they would be rejected. However, Bookworm assured Cori that this was Silverhawk they were talking about, and that the LittleBigFilmStation would love the test film.

Silverhawk suddenly returned to deliver the news that they had been accepted by the LittleBigFilmStation, much to Bookworm's and Cori's satisfaction. Silver then told his friends that they needed to get the pilot for *Advanced Randomness* done in one week, and Bookworm and Cori followed him outside door to start filming.

#### Walmart Skit

During development on the *Advanced Randomness HD*, Bookworm was featured in several skits. The first skit involves him fighting Cori in a Walmart isle. Bookworm manages to punch Cori to the floor, but she gets back up, enraged, and lifts an isle up, before destroying it with a plasmaball, confusing and surprising Bookworm.

#### *Caramelldansen* Skit

Bookworm's second skit in which he was featured in involves him dancing to *Caramelldansen*, alongside Silverhawk and Cori, surrounded by colourful lights. While he was initially supposed to be dancing, Bookworm made it seem like he was drowning.

#### Watching the Pilot

*"What happened?"
"You were almost killed, by a giant plasmaball!"*
―Bookworm and Cori[src]

One week after filming, Silverhawk woke up Cori and Bookworm by shouting "PINEAPPLE!", making Bookworm fall off the top of his bunk bed and crash onto the floor. He got up and approached Silverhawk, who explained that it was time for them to watch the *Advanced Randomness* Pilot together one more time before presenting it to the LittleBigFilmStation.

#### Attacked by Levi

While watching the Pilot, Silverhawk, Cori, and Bookworm heard several loud noises and destruction that was happening outside of Silver's Hut. Walking outside to see what the fuss was all about, the three friends discovered Levi, who Silver vaporized by unleashing his Super Mega Burp of Death. Silver, Cori and Bookworm then went back inside to continue watching the Pilot.

Bookworm and his friends continued watching the pilot until the electricity went out. Questioning the sudden power cut, the three went back outside to find Levi, who killed Silver's pet rock. Silver then went ahead and tackled Levi, before going back inside with his friends. There, Bookworm and his friends finished watching the pilot uninterrupted. Satisfied with their hard work, Silver decided to head off to the LittleBigFilmStation, with Cori and Bookworm following them.

As soon as they walked outside, Bookworm was blasted by a plasmaball orchestrated by Levi, knocking him back indoors. Concerned, Silver told Cori to go accompany Bookworm and help him while he dealt with Levi. Cori went back inside and placed Bookworm on her bed, who questioned what happened. Cori explained to Bookworm that he was almost killed by a plasmaball, and went back outside to see Silver successfully defeat Levi for good. Bookworm then walked back out, and Silver asked if he was okay. Bookworm said he was, and the three started running to the LittleBigFilmStation so they could present the pilot to the producers.

#### Showcasing the Pilot

Silverhawk, Cori and Bookworm went to the LittleBigFilmStation to present the *Advanced Randomness* Pilot. The producers ended up loving the pilot so much, that they just aired the pilot, and later greenlit *Advanced Randomness*. The show eventually went on to become the LittleBigFilmStation's #1 show. Eventually, Silverhawk left to create Silverhawk Studios and placed Cori in charge as the new head and showrunner of *Advanced Randomness*. Cori and Bookworm would later continue to make more episodes for the series themselves until Silver returned in 2019.

### Ogre Invasion

In 2016, Silverhawk, Cori and Bookworm briefly reunited. One day, the three were in Orlando, Florida, where Bookworm and Cori noticed Silver acting very hyper. Silver was suddenly attacked by a flying Ogre, who grabbed ahold of him and flew away, much to Cori and Bookworm's shock. Seeing more Ogres coming their way, Cori and Bookworm escaped alongside several other residents of Orlando.

### *A Trip Down Silverhawk Lane*

#### Reuniting With Silverhawk

*"How about we throw a goodbye party?"
"That's a really good idea! But... where are we gonna find the attendees?"
"OH, you know where we're going to find them!"*
―Bookworm, Cori and Silverhawk[src]

In 2019, Bookworm was in Silver's Hut, and looked around to see no-one else. He asked where everyone was, and Silverhawk, who had returned after spending two years developing a mass-producing his magnum opus, responded. Entering his old home, Silver became surprised by how much Bookworm had spruced the place. Bookworm then asked where Cori was, but then Bookworm and Silver saw her return, asking Bookworm if he was ready to start filming another episode of *Advanced Randomness*.

Silver announced his intentions on quitting filmmaking, shocking Cori, as she slapped Bookworm across the hut. However, Bookworm didn't seem to mind being slapped and walked back up to his friends to propose the idea of throwing a going-away party for Silver. Cori thought of that to be a very great idea. In search for attendees, the three of them went to Grand Metropolis to meet up with Ked and Jetmir.

#### Levi's Return

Feeling an earthquake rumbling across Grand Metropolis, Bookworm followed Cori as she walked up to Silverhawk, Ked and Jetmir, confused by the destructive rumbling. Bookworm the the others suddenly turned towards a nearby lava pit, where Levi blasted out, marking his official return. Levi fired a plasmaball at the group, but everyone jumped over it, leading the plasmaball to instead destroy Silver's Hut. Bookworm followed Silver and his friends as he told them to get to his Time Machine so they could escape.

#### Entering the Past

*"Augh! I'm allergic to hail!"
"Me too!"*
―Cori and Bookworm[src]

Silverhawk used his Time Machine to travel back in time to January 18th, 2011. After warping into the past, Silver, Cori, Bookworm, Ked and Jetmir were all suddenly ejected, and fell from the sky, crashing right down into the Introduction. Bookworm then reacted in shock as an arcade machine launched Jetmir towards the right. Following Silver and Ked, Bookworm and Cori walked through The Cosmos together, and Bookworm was asked by Cori if she was literally the only one who was concerned by their situation. Being followed by a cloud, Cori exclaimed that she was allergic to hail, and Bookworm stated that he was too.

Bookworm and Cori made it to the resting grounds of the iconic *LittleBigPlanet 2* tree, alongside the rest of the group, only to have their peaceful moment interrupted by Levi, who managed to travel to the past himself and brainwash The Negativitron into doing his bidding. Levi attempted to abduct Silver and his friends as they tried to escape running on a bouncy beachball, but they were rescued by Larry Da Vinci's claw machine.

#### Training for the Alliance

*"Wha- Silverhawk, have you just been, messing around?! You shouldn't be messing around! Now is not the time to be messing around!"
"\*cough\* Okay, Cori's been acting really strange since we time travelled, I don't know what's up with that."
"Oh no, Bookworm! Not you too!"*
―Cori and Silverhawk[src]

Rescued by Larry Da Vinci, Silverhawk, Cori, Bookworm, Ked and Jetmir were told that he needed to make sure that they were fit enough to join The Alliance, and gave the friends a Pod for them to blast off in. The Pod went crazy and flew across Da Vinci's Hideout, destroying everything in its path, and crashed through multiple sections of the Tower of Whoop before crashing down to the Rookie Test Scoreboard, making the Pod disintegrate.

Bookworm proceeded to the next level, where he and his friends rode a couch on wheels down a very high ramp really fast, leading them to be launched into the sky and abruptly crash into the next room with the Grappling Hook. In the next level, Silver started to mess around by grabbing on a swinging mechanism. Bookworm joined Silver a while later, annoying Cori to the point that she demanded Da Vinci to give her and her friends the Final Test already.

Bookworm was blasted towards the Final Test, where Ked flawlessly destroyed the giant robot that would've been controlled by Da Vinci. Successfully passing the test, Bookworm and his friends were accepted into The Alliance, and were instructed to go to Victoria Von Bathysphere's so they could recruit an army of Sackbots she had made to help The Alliance against Levi's destructive campaign.

#### Aiding Victoria Von Bathysphere

Bookworm followed Silverhawk, Cori and Jetmir to Victoria Von Bathysphere's garden, where they observed Levi's attempt to destroy Victoria's house. Bookworm and the others later met Victoria in her train, where she explained that they had to destroy all of the mutated cake abominations that have been invading her garden and her house.

Riding the train back to the mansion, the group were entrusted with the Grabinators to help them succeed in their mission, but started messing around with them by grabbing and throwing each other immediately after collecting them. Levi suddenly returned and transformed the Runaway Train into a Runaway Train Bomb Survival, destroying the train with his supply of explosives. However, to the dismay of Levi, Bookworm and everyone else on board the train, with the exception of the mutated cake monstrosities, survived the attack.

#### Entering Victoria's House

Entering Victoria Von Bathysphere's garden, Silverhawk, Cori, Bookworm, Ked and Jetmir were all covered in dust due to the train wreck, and were still recovering from their near-death experience. Using the Grabinators, Cori grabbed Silver, before being picked up by Ked, who was picked up by Jetmir. Bookworm hesitated to participate, and observed as the four bounced on a Bounce Pad, where Jetmir threw Ked, who threw Cori, before finally throwing Silverhawk, who screamed as he crash-landed right into Victoria's kitchen.

Bookworm, Cori, Ked and Jetmir managed to catch up with Silver in a short amount of time, and used robotic rats as their mode of transportation to the Victoria's kitchen. Reuniting with Silver, the group proceeded to Victoria's laboratory, and journeyed through in order to get to Victoria's machine. Bookworm watched as Silver tried to do a two-player segment all by himself, while Ked went over and unplugged Victoria's machine, dismantling it for good.

#### Cleaning the Mansion

*"...and YOU'RE gonna stay behind and help her, Bookworm! Because you've done absolutely NOTHING this whole movie, and I'm getting sick and tired of animating so many Sackbots, alright!?"*
―Silverhawk to Bookworm[src]

On the rooftop of Victoria Von Bathysphere's house, The Alliance discovered that Levi had taken all of the kidnapped Sackbots to The Factory of a Better Tomorrow. When asked by Larry Da Vinci if she wanted to join them in their next mission, Victoria refused, saying that she needed to stay and clean up the mess that was left behind by the cake monsters. Silverhawk then turned to Bookworm and demanded him to stay behind and help Victoria, due to him doing absolutely nothing so far in his "movie", and that he was getting tired of animating more than four Sackbots. Silver and the rest of The Alliance then left Bookworm and Victoria behind to clean up the mess.

#### Reunion in Avalonia

*"I am not the fastest mansion cleaner."*
―Bookworm to Silverhawk[src]

Bookworm and Victoria Von Bathysphere slowly started to clean up Levi's mess within both Victoria's garden and her mansion. After cleansing the entirety of the establishment from the mutated cake abominations, Victoria and Bookworm both went to Avalonia to meet up with the rest of The Alliance. Upon return, Bookworm and Victoria noticed the destruction of Huge Spaceship. Silverhawk became surprised to see that Bookworm was now back, with Bookworm explaining that he was not the fastest mansion cleaner. Needing help from Dr. Herbert Higginbotham in order to repair Huge Spaceship, The Alliance, now joined by Bookworm and Victoria, boarded Avalon Centrifuge's duck-shaped boat, and set course for Eve's Asylum.

#### Quest For Higginbottom

The Avalonian duck travelled to Eve's Asylum, and the head was blasted to the treetops upon arrival. The Alliance members met up with Eve Silva Paragorica, who explained that they would have to help her rid her Asylum of the Meanies if they wanted Dr. Higginbotham. Bookworm joined Silverhawk, Cori, Ked and Jetmir in an attempt to climb to the top of Eve's signature tree on giant caterpillars. However, reluctant to suffer an auto-scroller, Silver simply just teleported the group the top of the tree.

Silverhawk, Cori, Bookworm, Ked and Jetmir later acquired Splash Cannons and started used them against an army of Meanies, before advancing to a giant Venus Flytrap. The group successfully took the Venus Flytrap down, only to get electrocuted by water in the process.

#### Higginbotham's Inside Story

Silverhawk and his friends arrived at Dr. Higginbotham's resting grounds, where Cori told the boys that in order to cure him, they needed to shrink down and go inside Higginbotham's body, so that way, they can kill the Meanie infection themselves. The group were shrunken down to a quantum size thanks to Eve's perfume, and entered his body, riding subatomic creatures.

Silver led the body invaders to Higginbotham's brain, where they came face-to-face with the Infection. Silver managed to successfully destroy the Infection by killing it with laser cannons he installed onto his subatomic ride, but despite the victory, the group remained inside Higginbotham's body until they returned to Avalonia.

#### Abducted By Levi

Several hours later, The Alliance returned to Avalonia, where Dr. Higginbotham barfed out Silverhawk, Cori, Bookworm, Ked and Jetmir, reducing them back to their normal sizes. Higginbotham upheld his end of the deal and refurbished and fixed up Huge Spaceship as good as new, much to everyone's satisfaction. However, as The Alliance proceeded to aboard the ship, Bookworm and Avalon Centrifuge, side by side, were both abducted by Levi and kidnapped. Paranoid that Bookworm and Avalon were dead, Ked assured Silver that they weren't. The Alliance then set course for The Cosmos, hoping to rescue them.

#### Prisoner Within The Cosmos

Bookworm and Avalon Centrifuge were placed in a prison by Levi's Meanie subordinates within the corrupted land of The Cosmos. The two were later joined by Silverhawk, who fell from space and was imprisoned upon discovery. The three were eventually rescued by Cori, Ked, Jetmir, and an Avalonian Sackbot Army, who used Positivity Beams to destroy their cage, setting them free. Bookworm then joined his friends in destroying a giant robot nearby, using missiles from their upgraded Bee 2.0s to finish the job.

#### Levi's Cosmological Ultimatum

Flying their Bee 2.0s to the Heart of The Negativitron, Silverhawk and his friends prevailed to go through the last swarm of pixelated obstacles standing in their way. However, Silver noticed that it was another auto-scroller and instead teleported everyone to Levi's evil lair. Levi attacked the group with a laser beam that was intended to injure them, but only made them excruciatingly uncomfortable.

Encouraged by Silver to fight him like a man, Levi initiated a Mortal Kombat fight and fought Silver, Cori, Bookworm, Ked and Jetmir, utilizing robotic suits as their primary weapons. Silver eventually harnessed his crazy powers and took on Levi himself, before successfully destroying The Negativitron's Heart, causing The Cosmos to explode and have Levi die a painful death in the explosion.

#### Successful Victory

*"I didn't get to do anything."
"I didn't get to do anything, either."*
―Jetmir and Bookworm[src]

Having successfully destroyed The Negativitron and killed Levi, ending his reign of sinister terror for good, Silverhawk, Cori, Bookworm, Ked and Jetmir all rejoiced having saved the Imagisphere. While Silver initially took all the credit for himself, Jetmir stated that he didn't get to do anything, and Bookworm added on that he didn't get to do anything either. Regardless, Bookworm felt satisfied with the mission that they had accomplished, and followed Silver and his friends as they began journeying back home.

#### Returning to the Present

Using Silverhawk's Time Machine, Silverhawk, Cori, Bookworm, Ked and Jetmir time-travelled back to July 2019, finally putting an end to their adventure. However, as soon as they approached Silver's Hut, Bookworm and the rest became shocked to see it burning, having forgotten that it was destroyed by Levi earlier that day. Due to the hut's destruction, Silver never got to have that going-away party Bookworm originally proposed.

### *Battle for BFLBI: The Power of Tanner*

#### Dropped in *Battle for BFLBI*

In 2022, Cori and Bookworm were summoned by Silverhawk with a snap of his fingers, leading them to drop from the skies and crash land right outside a bathroom located in Goiky. Much to their concern, Cori and Bookworm approached Silverhawk and Four, questioning why he kept coming back to *LittleBigPlanet*, having previously said multiple times that he would leave. However, Silver hesitated to give them a real answer and had Four instruct them, along with the other contestants for *Battle for BFLBI* to form eight teams of eight.

#### Joining The Funny Badge

*"Hey, Bookworm."
"What's up?"
"Let's join that team!"
"Why that team, specifically?"
"Because, it's full of weirdos. We're weird, Bookworm. We got weird voices."*
―Cori and Bookworm[src]

Bookworm was approached by Cori, who proposed him the idea to join a team that she spotted in the distance, consisting of Kcaj, Dr. Zeon, Wolf, Tanner2, Kelcie and Robo-Cort. Confused, Bookworm asked why Cori wanted to specifically join that team, and Cori stated that it was because the team was full of weirdos, and that she thought it would be good for them to join as well, considering their weird voices. Bookworm decided to go with Cori's plan, oblivious to the sinister natures of both Kcaj and Zeon.

Coming up with ideas for a team name, Kcaj proposed to name the team something diabolical, but Cori stated that the name had to be something solid and unique. She then turned to Bookworm to see if he could agree with her, but Bookworm abruptly yelled instead. The team was eventually given the name of The Funny Batch, before being altered by Four into becoming The Funny **Badge** instead. Bookworm and the other members of The Funny Badge later mourned over Wolf's accidental murder on Kelice.

#### Battling for The Power of Tanner

Following Kelcie's unfortunate death, Tanner became frustrated with the game show and decided to have Bookworm and the other remaining contestants battle for The Power of Tanner instead, making the members of The Funny Badge intrigued to win. Bookworm and Cori later approached Tanner themselves, curious as to what the first challenge was. However, they both became shocked and concerned as Tanner proceeded to continue Silverhawk's no-dying challenge.

#### Gutted Like a Fish

*"NO! BOOKWORM! LET GO OF HIM!"
"Give me everything you have, or I'll gut your friend like a fish."
"What are you talking about? Please, don't hurt Bookworm!"
"Useless!"*
―Cori and Raymond Floyd[src]

Bookworm and Cori accompanied each other as they entered a forest together. The two suddenly came across Raymond Floyd, who was hiding behind a tree and sharpening his knife. While poking fun at Ray's hair, Cori was informed by a paranoid Bookworm that Ray looked dangerous and suggested that they didn't interact with him. Cori and Bookworm were immediately approached by Ray, who grabbed ahold of Bookworm and started to drag him away from Cori. Bookworm became scared as Cori relentlessly told Ray to let go of him. Ray threatened to gut Bookworm like a fish if Cori didn't give him everything she had. Ray then kept his promise and stabbed Bookworm, leaving him for dead. Cori got down onto the floor and grabbed onto Bookworm's corpse, crying and questioning where Silverhawk was, hoping to stop more people from getting hurt. Cori would later die as well at the hands of Robo-Cort.

### *The Radical Resurrection of the Canned Bread's Toaster*

#### Confronting Silverhawk

Having been resurrected by unknown means, Bookworm reunited with Cori. Joined alongside Chris, Mark, Joker and *The Incredible Crew*, Bookworm and the rest of Silverhawk's friends journeyed to his apartment in order to stop him from activating the Gatekeeper's Portal. Cori proposed to finally do Bookworm's going-away party idea so he could simply just move on, but Silver refused and became dead set on activating the portal so he could journey into the Gatekeeper's Realm and take revenge on the Almighty Cookie for making him toxically obsessed with *LittleBigPlanet*.

To the dismay of Cori, Bookworm, Knollad and everyone else, Silver dived into the Gatekeeper's Portal. He eventually blasted out of it before its destruction. Cori and Bookworm both looked down to see Silver lying in a pool of rainbow substance, traumatized by his sudden death.
