{{Return|Explain}}

{{ambox|type=delete|text = The Wiki Camp was a different website with a different set of rules, and because of this you may see content that violates The Wiki Camp 2's [[taglist]]. Keep this in mind when clicking links.}}

[https://the-wiki-camp.fandom.com/ The original Wiki Camp] was hosted on the terrible, awful website Wikia (now known as Fandom) by [[The Supreme Empress]]. It started on February 24, 2020, and was eventually cancelled on October 7 after a long hiatus. Though the camp did not last long, pretty much everyone involved agreed it was a [[good time]].

There were only four challenges created for The Wiki Camp 1, which are as follows:
#[http://web.archive.org/web/20230425154345/https://the-wiki-camp.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Competitors_(official) Create a page for your contestant.]
#[http://web.archive.org/web/20240206020231/https://the-wiki-camp.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Teams_(official) Create or add yourself to a team.]
#[http://web.archive.org/web/20221108174613/https://the-wiki-camp.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Episodes_(official) Create a wiki page for a fake episode of some kind.]
#[[Challenge 4 (Wiki Camp 1)|Create a tweet]] — that is, a page that is 240 characters or less in length. ([[User:Satomi|Satomi]] later posted the entries as a Twitter thread, confusing everyone.)

A 5th challenge, a sanctioned edit war, was planned but never materialized. This concept would later be used for The Wiki Camp 2's [[Challenge 3]].

Despite the inherent constraints of Wikia, such as its lack of plugin support, there were still many fascinating pages, such as [http://web.archive.org/web/20221109203644/https://the-wiki-camp.fandom.com/wiki/Love_Letter_to_I_Love_You Sudoku games], [http://web.archive.org/web/20221109203337/https://the-wiki-camp.fandom.com/wiki/Dragonfyre.geocities.org a Geocities website], and [https://the-wiki-camp.fandom.com/wiki/BONK whatever <nowiki>[BONK]</nowiki> was].

Some contestants return from The Wiki Camp 1, such as [[Cake pop!!!!!!!!!!!!!]] and [[Slime]]. There were many edits created after the camp was closed or after the opening of its sequel, though as you can imagine, they are few and far between.

==Death and Eulogy==
[[File:TheWikiCamp1Today.png|thumb|The hallowed ground where it once stood.]]
Eventually, in the tail end of 2024, [https://discord.com/channels/1011458414892814428/1011458415337418814/1287950391354593420 The Wiki Camp was removed from Fandom completely] for unknown reasons. While it is assumed to be for breaking Fandom's content policy, we will most likely never know for sure.

Tangibly, The Wiki Camp is survived by [http://web.archive.org/web/*/https://the-wiki-camp.fandom.com* seemingly arbitrary pulls on the WayBack Machine], [https://mega.nz/file/oZc1kZBJ#ZgjI6pFh5hEsXZ9L-4fqk36PAmAL2J3wlNGkYE7L_-k an archive of (all but 2) images], [https://file.garden/ZRbe28pOlUzNliYI/thewikicamp_pages_full.xml an archive of all the page data], and [[:Category:Pages ported from The Wiki Camp 1|pages that have been ported to The Wiki Camp 2]].

More importantly, The Wiki Camp is survived by its ideas. Despite most people agreeing to never look at it again, many Wiki Camp jokes, stories, and characters have made their way to The Wiki Camp 2, finding new life in some shape or form. Even after its slow death, it will always have been The Wiki Camp to The Wiki Camp 2.

If you ever make a wiki, please, for the love of Pete, never put it on Fandom.

BobTheTacocat:

Arc Numbers are [[Numbers]] with Great Signifigance to some [[Nerd|nerds]].

== Etymology ==
Derived from the [[TV Tropes]] term "arc words" which is to be honest a really narrow phrase considering not every Work is delineated into arcs.

== examples ==

* [[413]]
* [[612]]
* [[720]]
* [[1024]]
* [[1025]]
* [[111111]]

{{Distinguish|Sans}}
Sans Undertale is a character from [[Undertale]].

{{Quote|{{Font|Comic Sans MS|Human. I remember you're {{color|red|genocides.}}}}|Sans, Undertale (2015)}}

== Family ==
Sans is known as somewhat of a family guy, and he is also known to be rather promiscuous.

He has several brothers, including [[Papyrus]], Prunsel, Dirty Brother, Brother Pretty, Baby Bones, hasaveryspecialattack, Will, and Brother Killer.

He has had several public romantic relationships, such as with Nagito Komaeda, Reigen Arataka, the Onceler, and less well-known, [[Vriska Serket]].

== Controversial Relationship with Vriska Serket ==
Despite being assumedly fairly older than her, Sans dated Vriska Serket for a short perod of time. They had a child together, [[Vansa Serket-Undertale]], whom Sans has custody of, as they broke up shortly after Sans found out she already had a child with [[Homer Simpson]].

User:BobTheTacocat/Penumbra Phantasm from memory

2025-11-13T08:57:30Z

BobTheTacocat:

{{ambox|type=content|text=The contents of this wiki page are a genuine attempt at conveying actual information entirely from memory.}}[[Category:Pages written from memory]]

'''Penumbra Phantasm''' is an unreleased song created by musician [[Toby Fox|Toby "Radiation" Fox]]. Originally most famous for being a teased and then never released [[Homestuck]] song, it has recently developed a second wind by being theorized (and later deconfirmed) to be used in [[DELTARUNE]].

== As a part of ''Homestuck'' ==
[[File:Pp_from_memory_piano.mp3|right|thumb|A transcription of the opening riff of Penumbra Phantasm, an edited and interpolated version of the intro to ''Doctor''.]]

[[File:Pp_from_memory_flute.mp3|right|thumb|A transcription of the flute melody of Penumbra Phantasm, later used in songs like ''Savior of the Waking World'' and ''Umbral Ultimatum''.]]

Penumbra Phantasm is itself a spinoff of ''Doctor'', a song created by Buzinkai<ref>I don't remember what first name they settled on at the time of their passing</ref> for Homestuck. While the intro riff is a direct variation of Doctor, the rest of Penumbra Phantasm (or at least what is usually quoted from Penumbra Phantasm) is unique to the song.

Penumbra Phantasm was a song being worked on as soon as 2010, when it was first referenced in Descend{{Fix|text=?}}. This song would later get referenced in several other Homestuck songs created by Toby Fox, most notably Savior of the Waking World. This action of referencing the song while never releasing it created an air of mystique around the full song, which over time became a joke in the Homestuck community. Penumbra Phantasm would later be referenced by other Homestuck musicians, none of which I can actually name examples of.<ref>I think it's in Ascend because it's in Descend</ref>

In 2012, Toby Fox played part of Penumbra Phantasm on piano while on stream, which was archived and later uploaded to YouTube.

Penumbra Phantasm was teased with "null" a song briefly on Homestuck Volume 9 before being deleted.

Penumbra Phantasm could have been released as part of Homestuck Volume 10 in 2016, but Toby Fox was busy with [[Undertale]] at the time Volume 10 was being assembled in late 2015, so this never manifested.

In 2017, Toby Fox's files that he uploaded privately to the Starman Forums were leaked due to a data breach. This included "AwakeningCrap2.mid", a MIDI export of the Penumbra Phantasm project file. Since this MIDI export was of the project file, all of the individual channel titles, MIDI events, so on were kept, and so people have reverse engineered what AwakeningCrap2 is supposed to sound like. It is the most current and complete version of Penumbra Phantasm.<ref>I think Penumbra Phantasm (Piano) may have also been part of the Starman Forums leak but I genuinely don't remember</ref>
== As not a part of Toby Fox's other works ==
{{Quote|AT SHADOW'S EDGE, SHATTER THE TWILIGHT REVERIE|Toby Fox on X (formerly Twitter){{Fix|text=?}}}}

Between the releases of DELTARUNE Chapters 2 and 3+4, a theory arose claiming that Penumbra Phantasm would appear in DELTARUNE in some way. This theory was substantiated by a series of facts:

* DELTARUNE explores the concept of ''penumbra'', partial shadow (in other words, the meeting of light and dark)
* Toby Fox had reused unused music for Undertale and Deltarune before, and had even reused a spinoff of ''Doctor'' in Undertale before, turning the unused song ''Patient'' into ''Another Medium'' and ''CORE''
* Toby Fox had made leading social media posts talking about shadows and light in 2011

And a series of claimed, incorrect facts:

* THE HOLY was claimed to quote Penumbra Phantasm (not really)
* Hopes and Dreams was claimed to quote Penumbra Phantasm (Toby Fox confirmed on the Undertale 10th Anniversary stream that it is supposed to be a quote of ''Doctor'' specifically)<ref>Which I was literally saying the whole time and I got super vindicated</ref>

While this theory was dubious and coincidental at best (Penumbra Phantasm was being conceptualized before Toby Fox had the fever dream in 2011 that inspired DELTARUNE), it was deconfirmed in a 2025 Nintendo Life interview where Toby Fox is quoted saying that no music from or made for Homestuck would appear in DELTARUNE. The theory was further deconfirmed by the Undertale 10th Anniversary livestream, where Toby Fox said that he would not include ''Doctor'' in any of his future works, as he can no longer ask for permission from Buzinkai to use it due to their passing.

== Is there any hope? ==
Bizarrely, in 2024{{Fix|text=?}}, a Pesterquest cutscene had multiple songs playing on top of each other as the main character remembered the events of ''Homestuck''. In that soup of audio, a version of Penumbra Phantasm can be heard that is different than all pre-existing clips of Penumbra Phantasm, bringing the idea of a real Penumbra Phantasm release back onto the table.

There are currently several avenues where Penumbra Phantasm could finally be released, whether in Homestuck: Beyond Canon, the Nomestuck Animated Series, or secret third thing. Only time will tell.<ref>Time will tell you that it will not be in DELTARUNE though</ref>

S1E1 (The Cast of ZEITGEIST)

BobTheTacocat: I can finally fill out the episode reception section

: ''Not to be confused with [[ZEITGEIST|S1E1 (ZEITGEIST)]] or [[Challenge 1: Competitors]].''{{DISPLAYTITLE: S1E1 (The Cast of <span style="color: red; background-color: black;>'''[THE ZEITGEIST]'''</span>)}}

|-|Episode=
'''"S1E1 (The Cast of''' {{THE ZEITGEIST}}''')"''' is a tenth [[:Category:Episodes (official)|episode]] of the second season of the MediaWiki-based object camp-styled game [[The Wiki Camp 2]]. Designed as a [[Retro|retrospective]], the plot revolves around {{THE ZEITGEIST}}, its forms, and is structured around attempting to exhume and remember various decisions from earlier in their existence and their consequences.
== Synopsis ==
The structure involves a series of interviews, with Kevin interviewing each member of {{THE ZEITGEIST}}.

The interviews discuss Puzzle Piece Hairclip's upcoming plans and research and development, File's personal life, and Thaumiel's interaction with members of his living space. Football and Kevin later discuss the mechanics of life and the camp.
== Reception ==
[[The Divine Goddess]] ranked this episode 10th out of 26th with a score of 388 points, and were not put up for [[Challenge 10: Episodes#Elimination|elimination]]. Scholars have considered this score to be respectable.
== Trivia ==
* Notably, this is the first instance of multiple forms of {{THE ZEITGEIST}} communicating with each other, which was previously asked if it was possible, I think. Prior to this, the first appearance of multiple forms at once was [[Houston Omniversal Science and Technology]] through speech.

== References ==
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-10">
=== Cultural references ===
* File calls their editing [[wikipedia:Man-in-the-middle attack|man-in-the-middle attacks]], a type of cyber crime. Don't think that hard into the implications of this.
* Football makes a reference to the [[Rules]] and [[Main Page|main]] pages.
* The group makes a collective reference to the [[Bank]].
* Kevin makes a reference to the Wiki Camp's second anniversary.
* Football alludes to the win/loss ratio of the [[wikipedia:Baltimore Ravens|Baltimore Ravens]].
* Thaumiel references "K-class scenarios", a concept created by the SCP Foundation.
=== Continuity references ===
* Puzzle Piece Hairclip says that the reader should "recognize the way I speak". This is a reference to [[Error logs]], a previous usage of this format in which she is the primary speaker.
* Kevin and File discuss File's visual disappearance from their wiki page, something that occurred during [[Challenge 3]].
* The ending of this interview references the group's adopting of a lax attitude in relation to The Wiki Camp 2, something corroborated in post-[[Challenge 10]].

Essays, more specifically "wiki essays", are pieces written by singular members designed to comment on the wiki the essays exist on. In the comedic interest of treating The Wiki Camp 2 like a wiki, I thought it would be funny to carry this practice over and talk about this wiki. I might not do that.

BobTheTacocat:

I've been very secretive with {{THE ZEITGEIST}} since I entered The Wiki Camp 2. I thought about what should happen when I made it, I conceived an endgame, general concepts, presentation, and what that all meant; and I promised myself that I would keep it under lock and key until I got eliminated or won. The mystique of what was going on was a huge part of that presentation, you see.

It's been about 2 and a half years since I made that decision. Over that time, I've realized that not only is it a secret I don't want to keep anymore, it's a different secret than what it was before.

I've been thinking about it a lot after 10 challenges with an 11th impending, and I just want to get it all off of my chest. I want to talk candidly about what {{THE ZEITGEIST}} is, and more importantly what it used to be.

== {{THE ZEITGEIST}} ==

I created {{THE ZEITGEIST}} as a proxy device to "let myself off of the hook," so to speak. To me, how a character composed themselves, especially how they are represented in writing, would greatly inform their future works. This makes sense to me even now - a comedic leaning character will tend towards comedic entries, a serious leaning character will tend towards serious entries, et cetera. But I didn't just want to have one tone. I wanted everything, and I wanted it to make sense in the context of my character. So that hatched a plan, and with some asset work and watching "The Undebunkable" by Captain Disillusion (a very great video that I'm confident violates the Blacklist, so I will not link it here) that plan became what people know as {{THE ZEITGEIST}}. I still think {{THE ZEITGEIST}} is my best challenge entry, even now.

Similarly, I had the idea to generally base the personalities of each of the ZEITGEIST constructs off of myself and things I would be interested in writing:

* [[ZEITGEIST/SCP|Thaumiel]] is very obviously based off of the SCP Foundation. I had enjoyed the context of the SCP Foundation for quite a while at that point, so it was the first idea I thought of and finished. Bonus points for the joke of the [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/object-classes#toc16 Locked Box Test].
* [[ZEITGEIST/Fandom|Football]] is [https://web.archive.org/web/20230324195842/https://the-wiki-camp.fandom.com/wiki/Football a carryover from The Wiki Camp 1], a joke page I made while extremely tired to the point of laughing fits. This selection was two-fold: first, it was a fulfillment of jokes saying that I should play Football as a character back during TWC1, and second this would serve as my excuse to make "joke pages". Football's characterization, deriving from this, is basically just whatever I thought would be funny to make Football say with hammed up typos to replicate the authentic ones.
* [[ZEITGEIST/Wikipedia|Puzzle Piece Hair Clip]] came from a genuine appreciation of Wikipedia and the work that it does as a collective on top of a fondness for Wikipe-tan. Ironically, while I think that the way she talked in things like [[Error logs]] was pretty far from myself at the time, intentionally so, I think she might be the closest to how I write characters now of the bunch.
* [[ZEITGEIST/File|File]] was extremely undercooked, but I do think that the approximation of the File namespace formatting is still pretty good. Their later characterization was a process of figuring out what I'll call a "gremlin character", somebody that politely messes with people for their own entertainment, to contrast with their hidden aspect. In retrospect, I think it's not incredibly great, but has stood well enough and [[User:BobTheTacocat/TWC and Permanence|I think it would be wrong of me to change it]].
* [[ZEITGEIST/Kevin|Kevin]] was a sendup of a very specific type of character that I guessed other people would do at the time, the character that is more or less a virtual avatar for the writer. This was never a jab at this brand of character, merely an observation that they exist. This is why Kevin is the way that he is, why all of his depictions are scribbly, and why he has always been subtly "more important" than the others with a bit more "meta-awareness". He has been described as "[[Five Nights at Freddy's|the surrogate]]" more than once and is used as {{THE ZEITGEIST}}'s ambassador, this is why as well. Kevin not leaving his room was a fun-house mirror reflection of how I felt during the COVID pandemic, never really leaving my space.

{{THE ZEITGEIST}} itself is, of course, the wiki editor, the puppeteer of the puppets - a stand in for myself. Its abilities are decided by what it can change, and by saying the special words aloud, those concepts become real to the inhabitants of The Wiki Camp 2. This line of thinking has been there since the beginning (the intent of THE ZEITGEIST's page is that by reading the page, that is the form that currently exists) but started having a form during Challenge 2, where it fabricates the Houston Omniversal Science and Technology by stating it to be a true construct, and is able to mimic a Wikipedia editor to do the Host merge by talking like one.

This is also why {{THE ZEITGEIST}}, despite being almost unfathomably powerful in the world of The Wiki Camp 2, is unable to decide its scoring placement or that it has 1 million Blessed Tokens. The Divine Goddess is a higher power than {{THE ZEITGEIST}}, and it is obligated to play by its rules while on Her turf.

== Tendency to change or lack thereof ==

Characters in The Wiki Camp are, no matter how much we have broken it, restricted to the medium.

Similar to the camp concept of bonus entries, pages outside of challenges related to characters requires a reader to actually have read them, and with the amount of content on the wiki it requires navigation to that content, so it's a harder ask than usual. Couple that with having to diegetically explain that content (if you even do it at all - some of the highest ranking entries in Wiki Camp history are completely unrelated to the character at all e.g. [[Lil Hal]]), in addition to the long breaks in between getting to write these characters... I don't want to say that it disincentivizes dynamic characters, but in comparison static characters get the longer end of the stick.

The characters in {{THE ZEITGEIST}} are static characters on purpose. There was no way I would be able to make arcs for all of them or something like that, and even if I did, would that make that much sense? {{THE ZEITGEIST}} was the full show, and they were the pieces of the whole.

I realized as I started writing my Challenge 10, [[S1E1 (The Cast of ZEITGEIST)]], that all of this was so far removed from myself. It had taken several years, but a critical flaw had emerged with writing characters like facets of myself: I was no longer myself anymore. I wasn't that person in 2022 anymore, I was somebody in 2024, now I'm somebody in 2025; and all of that is just going to keep going.

Over my camp career, and generally in my writing career, I realized that I greatly prefer letting characters live outside of their story. Letting characters live outside of their story allows them to be dynamic somewhere else, and come back for a week to check in. But the forms can't do that. They are necessarily encased in amber so {{THE ZEITGEIST}} can use them. I was able to leave my room and see people, but Kevin wasn't. What is there to do about that, when it's an integral part of him because of a decision from years ago?

It's almost a little cruel, isn't it? Creating characters with explicit puppeteers, in a situation that necessitates keeping them static unless told otherwise, and then giving them no directional force.

== The End of {{THE ZEITGEIST}} ==
Kevin was always going to pull the plug.

=== The concept ===

"The End of {{THE ZEITGEIST}}"<sup>[''conjectural title'']</sup> was something I had conceptualized for a while, as far back as Challenge 2. I was pretty set on it, until I realized I wasn't.

The idea was that Kevin would tell people in the [[Host#Chat_logs-0|Host group chat]] that he needs to go. He would walk outside of a 2-dimensional view of his room and see a staircase going upwards, and walk up into the darkness.

I'm not sure what the propeller cap one in the back left is (I think I just made it up), but the back right one is [https://bindingofisaacrebirth.wiki.gg/wiki/Eden%27s_Blessing Eden's Blessing], a scrapped form representing The Binding of Isaac and its wiki.

From there, Kevin would enter a room with Julia Grace (the OC that I use for branding) in it, writing what was happening to Kevin. From here the story changed depending on the time frame (at first it was a "you did good" speech, then talking about being written, then the passage of time), but the ending would be Julia allowing Kevin to pull the plug on the computer, with a more nebulous ending. The page "[[ZEITGEIST]]" would then be edited to be about Julia Grace, with archives of the form pages.

Kevin has always been drawn with an Adobe Animate circle brush, while I usually draw Julia in my more common flat brush, so I wanted to define them with different brushes to illustrate their conceptual distance.

Side note: in 2022, I told myself that to foreshadow this, I would keep my profile picture as Julia Grace until I got eliminated, so people in The Wiki Camp associated this character with myself. And I kept that up for a long time! I still primarily use Julia as my profile picture even today, but that's just so I don't have to think about personal branding, and it stopped being about The Wiki Camp a while ago.

=== Why I am not doing that ===
It's a mix of not thinking I could commit to making that a story worth reading, and some of the disconnect with {{THE ZEITGEIST}} that I mentioned earlier.

Keen-eyed viewers that know my history more intimately may realize that this is similar to [https://bobthetacocat.neocities.org/micromega/THE_END The End of Microfilm and Megaphone], with the characters meeting a higher being. Yes, The End of Microfilm and Megaphone was done knowingly, and part of why I don't want to do it for the forms is that I think it's done better there than I could do for Kevin. At that moment in time, my connection to Microfilm and Megaphone was far more personal than {{THE ZEITGEIST}} and its forms.

It's not that it would be an unsatisfying ending for {{THE ZEITGEIST}}, it's more that it would be unsatisfying for me, the writer.

== The Spirit of The Age ==
What does the future of {{THE ZEITGEIST}} look like, then?

[[S1E1 (The Cast of ZEITGEIST)]] was very important for me because it made me admit a lot of things. I don't really plan on winning The Wiki Camp 2, and not winning is fine. I let the forms go slightly outside of The Wiki Camp, a free-roam animal with a small perimeter. Kevin admitted a lot of things on my behalf, as the surrogate is allowed to. For all intents and purposes, Challenge 10 was designed to be my last "lore heavy" challenge entry, taking the opportunity to cash out just a little.

Host was built explicitly with {{THE ZEITGEIST}} in mind. As the original co-conspirator of what became [[Host]] along with [[User:NARI]], I feel obligated to keep the lights on, which is why I did not make the exodus to [[Wanted contestants]], and will continue to keep the lights on until I cannot. If I get eliminated, I don't expect myself to be chomping at the bit to rejoin the competition.

After I either get eliminated or win, I do have an updated and heavily revised version of the contingency plan. Of course, that's information I'm not going to tell you.

{{THE ZEITGEIST}} over time has become something of an interesting experiment as a creative. {{THE ZEITGEIST}} was the first time I made a character FOR something, and seeing the reaction to that over the years has been interesting. I still think about a conversation I had with a friend who interpreted {{THE ZEITGEIST}} under the lens of [https://pluralpedia.org/w/Plurality plurality], with the shifting divided forms [https://pluralpedia.org/w/Fronting fronting] as one of them at any given time. Like, oh! I never even thought of that! I haven't really had a character on public display for this long before, enough to where my entire creative philosophy about that character has evolved and changed completely. Even now I'm kinda talking like I'm calcified, but I know I'm not, and I'm sure in a few years all of this will be deconstructed and reconstructed too.

I have a lot to thank {{THE ZEITGEIST}} for, though. It was me experimenting and trying to find my taste as a writer, and I eventually got to take that to other things, and will continue to take that to other things; and while I think my writing for {{THE ZEITGEIST}} as a project isn't the best I will still be reverent of it for that reason, even if I tweak the design.

I await their future.
