Summarized Lore

* (Xigbar does voter fraud in fuckable old man battle)
* The Showrunner AKA Showie decides to hold “White Boy Bracket”
* Boys assembled, Everything is normal for the first round, losers go to the Losers Resort.
* Cesare predicts Stanley will lose to Saul Goodman (start of a beautiful friendship <3)
* After the second round, Showie wants to bring some people back into the competition (she wants Team Lit to return)
* Teams are assembled, poll is held, and Team Lit is back in!
* Firestar and Prosper go to Artemis’s house to talk strategy. Firestar is given a collar or hat he can talk through.
* Showie isn’t confident that Team Lit will stay, though, so she initially rigs the match by putting them in with two unpopular characters
* A second revival round is held for funsies. More teams are made, and several teams make it back into the competition.
* Notably, Team They Said Please is formed! Stanley and Cesare become buddies!
* When Stanley loses, he goes back to his office, not the Losers Resort. Sad! He is friends (wink wink homosexually cough cough) with the Narrator.
* More rigging with Team Lit, Showie starts just adding everyone they go against to it, making a giant team.
* Annabeth is kidnapped and shrunk down and put in a Dollhouse.
* Woe! Xigbar be upon ye! In with Team Gothman, after people were loud about Paul Matthews.
* Showie DID NOT DO THAT. She doesn’t want him here.

* The “finals” are reached, and now we have a giant mass of white boys. Also Xigbar. Showie starts holding elimination rounds; THESE KILL THE LOSERS
* These are just to kill Xigbar, everyone else is just collateral. He thinks this is hilarious. Initially, she doesn’t make Artemis compete, but After prosper has to cheat to Not Die, she adds him back in and makes Percy (or else Annabeth will… Well it's an empty threat but Percy doesn’t know that) give them Shen Amulets (amulets that can be used to teleport to each other). Percy says he got them from Carter. This is a Lie. He got them from Showie.
* Magnus Chase is added for funsies
* Some people are revived to fill out the rosters; Cesare and Jay Walker
* Qifrey and Harry Du Bois get revived via bribery
* Stanley is offered as a sacrifice (he dies!)
* Showie decides to be nice and allows the audience to send in food for the white boys. Instead of that, they smuggle in extra people and useful items and shit.

* Stanley is in his office, and he is experiencing some ‘revival degradation’. He has lost his mouth. Other competitors who have been revived too many times also experience this; Cesare is stuck in sleepy mode, Jay walker is ‘diluted’, Edward Nashton’s eyes are ‘weird’
* EVERYONE IS REVIVED. EVERYONE.
* Stanley’s will has become ‘weakened’ via revival degradation.
* Showie and some kinsmen go to assess the damage. They take everything that wasn’t hidden as food.
* Xigbar discovers layer 1 of Showie's identity.
* The Narrator is taken because he didn’t hide himself (he was stupid, immediately got out of his teacup) and Showie finds him annoying.
* He is also put in the dollhouse.
* She touches Prosper's sketchbook and leaves a smudge of makeup behind.
* Xigbar begins working for Showie so he can get his arrowguns back. He kisses her hand. Firestar sees this.
* After she leaves, people open the smuggled things
* Stanley, Magnus, and Percy have a talk, where it's revealed that Annabeth has been kidnapped and so has The Narrator. Team Leverage is formed.
* Stanley gives Cesare the Loading Screen.
* Graystripe is here now. He’s Firestar’s friend. Grover is here now, he’s Percy’s friend.
* Dipper gets a care package from his family- Grappling Hook and Mind Control tie.
* Also smuggled in was Kim Kitsuragi, covered in blood and flour. When he went to go take a shower, by going down the firepole to the basement bathroom, and got it all gross.
* Firestar tells Percy he thinks Xigbar is working for Showie. He gets a Shen amulet from Percy and gives it to Graystripe. Percy grabs a few to give to Team Leverage.
* Luke Castellan (Smuggled in a bowl of tomato soup) tries to kill Percy in the middle of the night but Firestar sees him and latches onto his face and fucks him up.
* Xigbar pulls Firestar off of him and Luke runs into the night
* Xigbar kills Luke, then steals an amulet from Percy and destroys the rest of the ones he finds.
* Xigbar, Alastor, and The Narrator are taken to Fuckable Old Man Battle season 2.
* Xigbar and the Narrator do NOT get along; they hate each other. Xigbar torments Stanford Pines and Butler, who are trying to get over to White Boy Bracket to help Artemis and Dipper.
* They go up against Xigbar in a round and he’s election frauded to lose. This doesn’t hurt his feelings or anything shut up.
* Xigbar returns to White Boy Bracket, salty.
* Elimination rounds begin again
* Stanley talks to Dream of the Endless,  and goes on a dream adventure inside Cesare’s head. Cesare is no longer stuck in sleepy mode! Yippee!
* Showie looks up ‘The Stanley Parable’ (on yahoo) and gets very upset. She moves Annabeth to a different terrarium and notices the Narrator is gone. She’s taking a bath when Xigbar returns and breaks her coffee table. He asks if she’s okay.
* NARRATOR GETS SNOWGLOBED
* Later, a few nights later, Artemis needs to pee. This causes all of team Lit and team Leverage to go into the woods to piss. Magnus drank some swamp sauce, which causes him to act weird and ruins his reputation. Shrek is NOT summoned.
* They find Luke’s body, with arrowgun wounds and a sword through his chest. Firestar blames Xigbar for it.
* The next day, a kinsman named Kendall \*cough cough\* is cleaning off the Firepole when Dipper walks up to him and convinces him to wear the Mind Control Tie.
* While this is happening, Team Lit and Team Leverage form Team Litvrage. But we all know they are actually called Pee Pee Party. (sigh. :/) They form a plan to get Annabeth, the Narrator, and Alastor back. They think Showie has Alastor. This is false.
* Elimination round 6 is held and Showie makes Xigbar go get food. We see her with her hood down. She is emotionally vulnerable with Xigbar.
* Xigbar shakes the Narrator snowglobe!! (mean to narry :()
* It’s established that Xigbar will go back to get Alastor from FOMB, because Showie wants Alastor to compete.
* Team Litvrage disappears from the match using the amulets. Instead of the Narrator, Timekeeper accidentally leads them to the bucket (which was smuggled in by Xigbar and Showie) and realize the Narrator has been Snowglobed. Showie accidentally takes advantage of Stanley’s weakened will. (woopsie!)
* Showie REVEALS her second layer to Stanley, willingly, because she thinks they are the same. On some level, she’s right. (on MANY LEVELS, it’s just different (better) circumstances for Stanley.)
* Cesare (presumably) joins Team Litvrage by association.
* Stanley is staying at his own apartment, he is no longer competing! And he is so so happy this is not against his true nature at all! Everything is fine and good and Showie has a new friend! :D
* Showie has Xigbar take team Litvrage (minus Stanley, plus the Bucket) back to the cabin.
* They know he’s working for her now so he can’t stay in the cabin. She has a bed brought into her apartment. Stanley gets his own apartment and Xigbar doesn’t haha.
* Xigbar learns of Stanley’s weak will and plans to use it to harm him. For funsies. Stanley calls Showie Xigbar’s girlfriend and Xigbar doesn’t deny this.
* Showie and Xigbar get drunk on Swamp Sauce (Shrek is NOT summoned). They flirt. When the match ends they go back to Showie’s apartment and she trips and breaks Xigbar’s bed in half.
* Mare, a sort of dream deity, gets smuggled into the cabin and makes friends with Blackjack the pegasus.
* Artemis and litvrage try and figure out showie’s identity
* Sora from kingdom hearts shows up also. He says disney characters are real, and everyone except percy, maybe, thinks he’s crazy. They listen to his advice on Xigbar though, even if it boiled down to “I used my keyblade”
* Showie and Xigbar wake up in the same bed. Before she’s even fully awake she gives him a bloody nose because of a trauma response. He forgives her.
* They go to check on the spike pit. She plans to revive Adrien Agreste.
* Paul Matthews is revealed to have survived the fall, but:
* She walked closer to Matthews, being sure to keep her head low, “What do you think, Paul? Are you stupid or just impertinent?” He stammered, and Xigbar laughed, “Guess it's the first one.” “Hush,” Showie said, amused, “Let him speak. And Paul, there is a correct answer.” She leaned down to get a better look at him. It was then that his hand, which had been creeping into his lunch bag, suddenly jerked upward. The gun inside the bag fired directly at Showie’s head.
* Xigbar takes Showie up to her room, makes sure she isn’t dead, makes sure she’s okay.
* Meanwhile, Paul Matthews runs back to the cabin
* Xigbar finishes checking up on Showie
* At the cabin, an argument breaks out about what to do with Paul. Some people think they need to protect him, other people think they should let Xigbar have him to save themselves.
* This argument is irrelevant because Xigbar is already inside. He kills Paul, violently.
* Back in the apartment, Xigbar is showering off the Paul blood and Showie wakes up and is frightened. She thinks Xigbar is someone else. She puts on his cloak (to feel safe) and points his arrowgun at him when he comes out. Once she realizes it’s Xigbar, she calms down.
* Xigbar cuts Showie’s hair.
* After the cut, Showie goes to see Stanley. More commands are unintentionally given. She gives Stanley permission to Feel. (and gives stanley a birthday present!)
* Showie goes to take a nap.
* Showie is taken to BestFictionalDivorce, with her shitty ex. She is very scared.
* Tumblr Blogs come into play: @showierunner @electionfraudking @stanleysbuttonblog @byg-man .
* Lore that may or may not appear in fics happens on these blogs. Anything important will be mentioned in fics.
* Xigbar realizes Showie is missing and asks Stanley about it. Stanley doesn’t know. Xigbar is kind of mean to Stanley.
* Showie wakes up in BFD and initially thinks it is Xigbar next to her, but actually it is her terrible evil ex. Her defense mechanism is being still like a statue.
* Xigbar begins to panic.
* Xigbar gives Stanley a gun to use on Showie’s Ex
* Showie manages to get messages through to Xigbar, but they are barely legible because her fingers don’t work on touchscreens so she had to rig a potato battery to get enough electric charge to type.
* She conveys she is in danger, he says he is coming to find her.
* She can’t see his replies.
* Xigbar looks up her ex’s name and learns about him. He then starts Breaking things.
* She gives Xigbar her phone number because she can’t scroll well enough to see his replies. He begins texting his replies to Showie.
* He ends up misinterpreting one of her messages and goes to talk to Sora, who is also here.
* Her messages generally look something like this:
	+ “Hwow pong is otpp long tp joxe okn te w baauhymomm. Gpo pr message bow. Loe lwaa acayrws”
	+ Xigbar has gotten pretty good at reading these. This message said “How long is too long to hide in the bathroom? Got your message btw. Lot less scared.”
* That would not last long, however, because her shitty ex downloaded some malware claiming to be free dogecoin and bricked his computer. He finds her phone wrapped in Xigbar’s sash, reads the messages, and Hurts her.
* Stanley and Xigbar have Reactions to this on their blogs.
* Stanley ends up offering to Punch Xigbar for [name redacted] if [name redacted] stops hurting Showie. [Name Redacted] counter offers: Talk to him in person. Stanley says ‘okay but not alone’ and [name redacted] says ‘Yes Alone’ and Stanley says ‘No Deal’ and [Name redacted] says ‘no deal’ and starts hurting Showie again
* Xigbar says ‘WAIT. YES DEAL’ in the DMs where stanley can’t see and straight up trades Stanley for Showie, telling [Name Redacted] not to tell Showie about it and gets a bit sexist in the dms but only so [Name Redacted] listens to him
* [name Redacted] lets Showie go in a way that makes it look like she escaped herself.
* Showie and Xigbar have a phone call, he tells her his name (Braig), and then she falls asleep with him on the phone
* Mare talks to some more people, including Firestar, Artemis, and Hiccup!
* The next day they call again and he ends up telling her about the Deal. She tries to problem solve but they can’t see a way out of it.
* They decide to get into contact with the pollrunner of Fuckable Old Man Battle and ask him to hold a tournament where they can kill [name redacted]. Showie tells Xigbar to experiment with Stanley’s will issues so she can figure out how they work to try to fortify him against [Name Redacted].
* Stanley brings up the fact that he can no longer clip out of bounds and Showie decides to tell Xigbar to do human experimentation about it on the eliminated (dead) competitors. She teaches Xigbar necromancy over the phone.
* SLONK NIGHT Few days later, Xigbar starts vaguely thirsting on tumblr and Stanley goes ‘hi’ and he goes ‘what’ and stanley goes ‘you could suck my dick if you wanted’
* And showie goes ‘AAARRRRGGHHHHH’ because she’s crushing on Braig like bad. She ends up vaguely threatening to 1) tell stanley about the deal 2) kill Cesare 3) kill stanley
* She doesn’t actually do any of this but she’s still very angry.
* Stanley goes ‘oh yeah right she’s scary’ and Xigbar goes ‘oh wait she like. LIKE likes me. My bad oops’
* Next morning, Stanley is taught how to use a gun, and xigbar also commands him around to figure out how his weakened will works.
* Showie reflects about the deal with her ex in which she and xigbar plan to trade away stanley. She recalls the night she ran away from her ex.
* Xigbar calls her and tells her about the will issues testing that he did, as well as talking to Showie about eachother.
* In the meantime, Stanley heads over to Xigbar’s apartment, as Showie wants Xigbar to undo a command placed upon him (the one that made Stanley unable to fully talk about his will issues) (“Don’t tell Showie bout’ this; you’re right, she would get pissy. Actually- scratch that, don't tell anyone.” and “Make sure you keep us happy.”)
* He walks in on the phone call, is generally pissed due to the human experimentation and (semi) accidental abuse of his will issues.
* He is permitted to be able to fully speak about his will issues, and he again asks Xigbar and Showie to let the narrator out.
* Xigbar and Showie then talk more about Showie’s past will issues.
* Stanley gets pulled into Best Fictional Divorce where he reunites with the narrator. This happens during the human experimentation. Showie and Xigbar are on the phone.  They end up deciding not to go through with the deal but they don’t have a backup plan.
* [Name Redacted] can’t be patient so he tries to take Stanley. Showie kicks him hard in the knee, but not before they give enough conflicting commands to corrupt Stanley’s code.
* This leads to Stanley PASSING THE FUCK OUT!!! (coma!!!)
* Showie picks him up and takes him to her BFD apartment where she and Xigbar try to figure out what’s going on. Xigbar says to take him to the Narrator, and Showie does.
* The Narrator is a scary disembodied voice and is a lil mean to Showie.
* The round ends, Showie and her Ex lose BAD but they get voter frauded through. The voter fraud is enough to Summon Xigbar. Stanley and the Narrator get sucked back to WBB, Stanley comatose and Narrator in the snowglobe. Showie is very relieved to have Xigbar here with her but! Uh oh! They have no way back to White Boy Bracket
* da-da-da-DAA!!! They end up asking Sora (with bonus Riku) to take the torch (there exists a magical torch powered by hecate that can take you to other brackets).
* Before they do, though, Xigbar’s DAD shows up in WBB and Showie FREAKS OUT because she’s heard nothing but bad things. Ends up throwing him in an extremely rigged round and he falls into spikes, and later into syrup and itching powder.
* Sora and Riku end up going to BFD and getting Showie. Her name is revealed to them by [name Redacted] but they’re pretty chill about it.
* They (Sora, Riku, Showie, Xigbar, (with bonus Dean and Castiel, who are let go from WBB immediately)) go back to WBB.
* Showie heads to Stanley’s apartment, carrying his comatose body in, and then picks up the Narrator’s snowglobe.
* She lets Narry out so that way he can fix Stanley, and the Narrator and her talk a bit.
* The Narrator begins to get on her good side a little.
* To repair Stanley, the Narrator has to pull out the threads that make up Stanley’s being, clean up and repair the threads, and then put them back in. This takes about a week to do fully.
* Showie begins to question what happened to her daughter Metharme. She has Xigbar look it up because it won’t work for her and he does but it's yucky disgusting so he lies. She can tell he’s lying but drops it.
* For now.
* She takes two flasks of swamp sauce (shrek is not summoned) and goes wandering the woods at night screaming at the sky because she’s extrapolated that something terrible happened and that she probably turned into a tree and that it probably had something to do with [name Redacted]
* She yells at the gods but she doesn’t find the gods she finds Xigbar’s dad. He ends up telling her what happened (Metharme was cursed to lust after [Name Redacted] and then ran into the woods and turned into a tree. The tree then gave birth to the child, Adonis) and she wails.
* Xigdad ends up giving her his coat (he is an angel) and then he half carries her back up to her apartment. She and Xigdad are now on speaking terms 👍
* The next morning Showie is very hung over. Xigbar feels bad for not telling her. They end up watching Tangled and Xigbar tells her that the goddess who cursed Metharme was Aphrodite, Showie’s MOTHER. She is quiet for the rest of two days.
* Lex, the pollrunner for fuckable old man battle, comes over for a movie night to try to cheer Showie up.
* The next day, Xigbar and Showie visit the Narrator. The Narrator tries to hit Xigbar with a large computer because of the past actions Xigbar has taken against Stanley.
* Showie and Xigbar leave. A bit later, Showie returns, and the Narrator apologizes.
* Xigbar gives Showie the ability to summon her own keyblade! They do a little improv fight and scare Sora. he scolds them, which Showie finds very funny
* The keyblade unlocks some kind of latent magic in Showie and she gets a POWERUP. And brief divine madness. She runs into the woods to Create. Xigbar, The Narrator, and Sora come out to try to calm her down. Sora tells her that they’re friends, and this makes her Normal Again. She grows a little friendship bracelet of blue forget me nots around her wrist.
* She dismisses her keyblade and passes the fuck out.
* Xigbar and Sora end up playing mario kart. Then they all go to check on the clearing she’d made. Then they go to check the records and meet Amy, the intern.
* Later, Showie makes a deal with Xigdad that if he found information on her lost child, she would 1) open the food court fully and add an outback steakhouse 2) allow him in and out of the force field at will 3) try to heal his divine illness
* She does these things, and heals some of the sickness. She and Xigdad are now on Ultra Speaking Terms 👍
* Then Stanley wakes back up. He is now wholly repaired and a-okay 👍
* Showie and Stanley have a talk in the clearing where they eat fruit and Showie confides in him about things (Metharme). Showie expresses her intention to stop the death matches and human experimentation.
* …Surprise! The Lost Child, Paphos, shows up on his own, and he has transed his gender while away. He brings his dog, Phylax, as well, when he left the hunters of Artemis
* He befriends Sora and Riku pretty quick, and Sora takes him to the apartments to see his mom for the first time in 2000 years. They hug, and Paphos sees Xigbar and immediately calls him a coward and yells at him.
* Pretty soon though he warms up to him when he realizes he’s not like Paphos’s father.
* Showie and Xigbar accidentally imply about the Deal and Stanley questions it. Showie lies and says [Name Redacted] wanted a keyblade.
* Stanley accepts this but he knows something is up
* Showie and Xigbar go into Panic Mode, call up Lex and move The Tournament up to the next day.
* Stanley gets blown up by the Narrator (consensually) (he needs a break from his mortal body for a little bit) and Showie freaks out but doesn’t do anything (good for her)
* Showie contacts Xigdad and asks him to watch Paphos (with bonus Sora and Riku) and then they get pulled into Fuckable Old Couple Battle
* While they’re away (Torturing and Killing [Name Redacted]) Paphos plays the Stanley Parable (and gets mannequin wife jumpscared) and then watches Hercules the Animated Series with Sora and Riku and gets [OMITTED LAYER 2] jumpscared! He freaks out and Sora loses his idol :(. And then Riku and Paphos plan on killing the Disney Version of [Name Redacted]. The plan involves Xigbar because they don’t think Showie will let them out of the force field without him. They plan on telling her they’re going on a hunting trip.
* Showie and Xigbar get back from FOCB, Xigbar goes on the Murder Quest with Paph and Riku
* Showie realizes she was less than 15 feet away while the Metharme thing was going down. She reaches out to Xigdad in hopes he can help her find Steri, an immortal deer child she helped raise back in medieval france. She goes into the renovated science bunker to be alone, but then invites Stanley over to parallel play with her. They end up playing Stardew valley, Stanley ends up talking about his feelings, and she is stressed.
* The next day they end up going to the clearing again. She tells him what’s going on, and they pet ducks.
* Showie invites Sora and Stanley on a little quest-vacation where they go to greece and vibe by the ruins of her old palace. Xigdad ends up coming, too.
* While this happens, the Narrator gets sad in the forest. Has a breakdown. Tries to be creative. Cannot.
