This Blog talks about stuff related to my character, including things like lore pertaining to particular canons in which variants of him appear. This may be updated over time to either add new stuff or improve old stuff.


My character is often depicted as a person who wears a blue jacket, an orange shirt, and black sunglasses (or shades or whatever you want to call them.) However, some variants of him might feature him wearing differently-colored clothes. At other times, he might be shown wearing something other than his usual getup, but he is probably wearing his normal clothes underneath. He does not have a specific name, so what he is referred to depends on the canon he is in.

Trivia:

• The jacket he wears is based on a real jacket I own. I used to wear it quite frequently along with a pair of sunglasses/shades/whatever. I don't wear the jacket as much as I used to because it doesn’t necessarily fit my size the best nowadays.
  
• I have worn orange shirts before, but I don't think I really did when I wore the blue jacket. At the very least, I didn't do so very often. The orange and blue is kind of just a color scheme I adopted some time ago, perhaps inspired by the color scheme of the New York Mets baseball team (of which my family members are fans.)
  

In my primary animated canon (which consists of series such as Roasted Meatloaf), the guy in the blue jacket is someone with a forgotten past. He doesn't remember his name or who he used to be. He is in his teenage years in his commonly-depicted form, but his exact age is left ambiguous. Other points of the timeline might depict him at different ages. His two closest friends are Jeff, a clumsy but well-meaning guy made out of text symbols, and Damien, a nihilistic doomer of sorts.

In "Burger Hut", the first episode of Roasted Meatloaf, it is established that the blue jacket guy has a black car which he drives sometimes. Given this, one might speculate that he is around 16, but since this is a fictional universe, some rules might be slightly different. Or he could be breaking the law, but I don't know. In Episode 2, "Trick Or Treat?", it is shown that he lives in a house which contains various strange contraptions and devices within, many of which are hidden from plain sight. The blue jacket guy's friend Jeff makes his first appearance in Episode 3, "Roast The Turkey" (Internet Archive version coming soon.)

The protagonist's new life as a guy in a blue jacket proves to not be the most predictable. Some situations he faces are more or less what many average people may face, while others take more unusual turns. His world has a number of strange (and occasionally dangerous) inhabitants, and some visitors are even more so...

Trivia:

• The black car which the guy in the blue jacket drives is based on a car which my dad drove for some time before giving it to my older brother David. The real car is a Ford Crown Victoria.
• The house's appearance in "Trick Or Treat?" is not entirely consistent with its appearance in "Roast The Turkey". That was a mistake on my part, though if I had to offer an explanation for it, I'd say that the house having hidden contraptions and stuff suggests that one of those contraptions could include a contraption that changes the house's appearance.
• Though this lore is not primarily made for Scratch (thought the first three episodes have Scratch Editions), it takes a good amount of inspiration from Scratch animators such as WazzoTV, Dhilly, thoyal, and others.
  

I've thought about maybe doing another animated canon of some sort, but as of yet I don't really have any ideas of what to put in said canon and how to make it different from the primary one. I suppose maybe if I make another animated canon it could include some story ideas that were considered for the primary lore but later got cut due to not working well continuity-wise or something. I don't know though. Stay tuned I guess.


There is not always a strict lore for the blue jacket guy in his appearances on Scratch. Particular details tend to depend on what Scratch series he appears in. There are certain constants, however, one being that on Scratch he is typically referred to by my Scratch name, "YesterdaysTomSawyer". He is sometimes referred to by at least one person as "Sawyer" for short. It is also referenced multiple times across a number of Scratch series that thenewfn2199 is Sawyer's brother, as that is my brother in real life. These two do not always appear together though. Most Scratch projects which I have made on Scratch don't really seem to form any particular canon of any sort as of yet, so for now I will mostly focus on the series of others which I have appeared in. I will not necessarily cite all details of the stories I show up in as I don't want to take away the job of telling the stories from, well, the stories, so go check out the stories I reference to learn more about stuff and all that.


YesterdaysTomSawyer as a character tends to appear in a number of animations made by thenewfn2199. There are some that don't really seem to be part of a particular canon, but others do sort of connect in a way. Some examples of series Sawyer appears in include thenewfn2199 in Minecraft (which is part of thenewfn2199's primary animated lore as I understand it) and Scratch Quest (a cancelled series which exists in its own universe apart from the primary thenewfn2199 lore). He also makes appearances in standalone special projects which are part of the primary lore. Sawyer is often depicted as more of a side character than a main one.

In Season 1 of thenewfn2199 in Minecraft, YesterdaysTomSawyer first appears in Episode 5, "Who's There?", assisting thenewfn2199 in his journey. He also appears in the next and final two episodes of Season 1, as well as the finale special The Ultimate Battle. He does not appear in Season 2, but he does appear in thenewfn2187's Return, which serves as a followup to the events of Season 2.

In the 1-year anniversary special thenewfn2199 Generations, YesterdaysTomSawyer defeats Vector Guy (who is not related to Vector from Despicable Me or Vector the Crocodile from Sonic the Hedgehog), the main antagonist of the special.

In the Scratch Quest series, YesterdaysTomSawyer makes a brief appearance in Part 2. He was also planned to appear in Part 3 before it was cancelled.

YesterdaysTomSawyer also makes appearances in miscellaneous projects such as When You See A Spider (Ft. YesterdaysTomSawyer) and a fight collab project remix chain. thenewfn2199 also appears in one of my Scratch projects called Collabs in a Nutshell (Ft. thenewfn2199) The canonical status of these projects is kind of debatable.

Trivia:

• Apart from having my character appear in thenewfn2199's projects, I also did some voice acting and old character designs for other characters which exist in the lore(s). I made old designs (which were later replaced by designs made by thenewfn2199) for characters such as Penelope, Peak, and (I think) Pop the Penguin/Penguiniso/Pearson/whoever (the surname has changed a couple times), and I also did voice acting for Peak and Penelope (yes, I'm a male person who voiced a female character; it's not that weird, trust me) as well as Hack Cat (the main antagonist of the cancelled Scratch Quest series.)
• It's established that thenewfn2199 is not human but some humanoid species with the ability to change appearance in particular situations (ripping off taking inspiration from Doctor Who) and has done so on particular occasions. This ability of his is meant to canonically explain updates to his character design. Despite the fact that this would imply YesterdaysTomSawyer is a member of the same species, he has not undergone any such transformations in any of the animations.
• When YesterdaysTomSawyer appears in thenewfn2199 Generations, archive audio from the first episode of Roasted Meatloaf is used as his only voice line. I did record new lines for Penelope, however.

Rush2113 (whom some might know better as DoctorValeyard2150AD) has YesterdaysTomSawyer play a part in some series he's making. I don't entirely know what direction Rush2113 will go with the series, but I'm pretty much okay with him doing what he likes. It's all just fiction after all.

In "At Last We Meet", Sawyer makes his first appearance. Rush2113, accompanied by Scratch Cat, appears in his room to collect him for an important conversation. Sawyer is teleported away with Rush2113 to discuss the matter, with Scratch Cat being teleported somewhere else beforehand.

In the following part, "The Mission's Briefing", Sawyer is given the task of recovering five crystals of different shapes which, according to Rush2113, power a machine which helps keep the universe in balance. Sawyer is skeptical at first, but ultimately takes the job.

In the fifth part, ”Seeking the First Crystal”, Sawyer runs into Pop the Penguin. After some back and forth, Sawyer manages to convince Pop to help him. However, Sawyer's brother thenewfn2199 is not on their side. As a result, Sawyer and Pop end up having to confront him 2v1 in order to get the first crystal.

In "Valiantly They Venture", Sawyer and Pop go to Minecraft via the dimension transporter in order to find the second crystal. Almost after they arrive, they confront a battleship controlled by Illagers.

The series is still in early development at the time of this writing, so that's pretty much all I have regarding this. More will be added soon...

Trivia:

• The first episode of the series, "An Important Arrival", uses a time card from a project called Playing the game [​sic] made by Scratch user Astro947 (uploaded on his alt account Astro947RMXs.) Astro was a major influence on WazzoTV, who in turn was a major influence on my animated stuff.
• "At Last We Meet", shows Sawyer using a chair, a table, and a computer which first appeared in a project I made called Goodbye Flash Player (which was about the end of Flash Player back in the earlier 2020s.)
• In "The Mission's Briefing", YesterdaysTomSawyer mentions "Daydog" as a possible cause of universal chaos when speaking with Rush2113. "Daydog", a character created by Scratch user Nightcat, is some sort of malicious and powerful entity who, according to some documentations of him, rose to power at 7:38 PM on January 23, 2023, and took control of the world. Also, according to a humorous comment by Nightcat, he apparently is connected to the Scratch website becoming purple (although this is, of course, not the case in real life.)
• Scratch Cat's dad, who first appears in "A Strange Realm Called 'Home'", is a modified version of the Scratch Cat who appears in SLATCH VS SCRATCH: PART III [​THE FINALE] by WazzoTV.
• Also in "A Strange Realm Called 'Home'", a picture of Jeff (from my primary animated canon) can be seen in a hallway. The picture indicates that he is the founder of a hotel.
  
• "Seeking the First Crystal" integrates elements from thenewfn2199's projects such as thenewfn2199 himself as well as Pop the Penguin, among a few other elements. It also utilizes more references to projects by Scratchers such as WazzoTV and scratchU8 as well as pop cultural references such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario, and more. Probably the most reference-heavy episode in the series so far.
• The Illager ship in "Valiantly They Venture" was constructed by me (per Rush2113's request) and is based on the Star Destroyers from Star Wars. I might upload it to this site sometime in the future.

Below are details regarding my character in different people's lores. In these lores, he is commonly referred to as "TheNewTK421", "TheNewTK", or "TK". As can be seen, I'm currently making my own little series with him, though I don't know how everything's going to be yet. Maybe I also might have him make some sort of cameo in a Yellowshirt Lore story Blog somehow. Not really sure though. Otherwise, the other entries detail how he is depicted in other people's lores. I'm not necessarily going to incorporate every detail from the sources I use because I don't want to take away the jobs of those stories in terms of, well, telling the stories, so go check out the lore sources to learn more about them and stuff. Basically the same thing I said for people's Scratch lore.

I'm currently making my own short-ish lore series. It’s sort of based on my hiatus in late 2023 and return in mid 2024 and it’ll also feature other things based on some other stuff. To some extent, it might reflect some of my thoughts on the current state of things on the site, both what’s good and what’s not so good. I don’t exactly know how it’s all going to be yet, but I’ll figure it out eventually I suppose. Stay tuned.

So far, the series only has the Prologue, which features TK escaping from some sort of conflict by hiding out in an underground bunker and freezing himself in a hibernation chamber. He gives special instructions to his personal RoBuddy before doing the last part. It's also established that TK has some kind of important object on hand, but it's not yet established what that object is. Some PMC years later, TK is unfrozen and continues his mission.

Trivia:

• The Prologue is meant to be an adaptation of the beginning and end of a hiatus I took from PMC, which began in late 2023 and ended in mid 2024. During that time, I had some content schedule-published over a period of months, which is established in the story as being distributed by the RoBuddy in order to make the currently unnamed enemies not notice that TK has gone missing.
• This series makes use of music and ambience as "optional setting soundtracks" for different parts of the story. This is inspired by the use of music as a "soundtrack" in a series by LegendarySi called The Anarchist, which sadly never saw a proper conclusion due to particular events. The use of soundtracks in my series is somewhat different though as I've inserted more than one song and/or ambience track based on different settings.
  
• As indicated, this series will make use of characters I've created as content in the past, and I might also make some new characters specifically for this lore. I might also incorporate some PMCers into the series, but only if they are okay with being included in some capacity.
• This series might draw some inspiration from other lores and maybe even reference them to some capacity, but this is in its own continuity and thus not bound to other lore's facts or rules or whatever. This series might also draw some inspiration from multiple other media such as movies, TV shows, video games, books, and other such things, as well as history and other stuff to some extent.

According to "PMC in TravisaInc's Lore", everyone on PMC, including TheNewTK421, is canon. In Travisa Inc Lore, TheNewTK, also referred to as Jack Alex, works at Travisa Inc, a scientific company which, according to "The Story of Travisa Inc (P1)", has a somewhat troubled history due to actions performed by Dr. Amusa, longtime head and founder of the company. Travisa Inc rivaled a company called Innovation Inc; after a company called Landon Inc (discussed in the Blogs "Landon Inc" and "The Story of Landon Inc") bought Travisa Inc, Innovation Inc went under, though they were implied to already be struggling before. According to the Travisa Inc About widget, one of Jack’s quotes is “Plastic is fantastic!”

The Blog titled "The Story of TheNewTK421 in LBC's PMC Lore" gives us the beginning of TheNewTK421's backstory. In this blog, it is established that TheNewTK had met Everlyn, Dr. Amusa’s assistant, in his school days. He received access to a special ring of hers and, sometime after graduating college, was offered a job at Travisa Inc by her. TheNewTK accepted the offer and started by doing animatronic work. For a brief period, he attempted to win the heart of Dr. Amusa, but ultimately did not succeed.

According to "The Story of Travisa Inc (P2)", TheNewTK421 eventually became involved with many activities occuring at Travisa Inc, including working alongside and assisting in the development of Dr. Travisa (Travisa Inc's Central AI), supervising the production of White Travisa Inc Turrets, overseeing the demolition of the RMS Domic, holding a meeting with other scientists proclaiming the superiority of Travisa Inc over another scientific company called Innovation Inc, testing lemonade, and other such tasks. TK almost became part of the manufacturing department, but the forewoman's daughter got the job instead. Also, he has a phone which is both fireproof and waterproof, which is nice. When overseeing Dr. Travisa getting her Morality Core, TK takes a pill and temporarily genderbends. In the dawn of the 2000s, after Dr. Travisa is completed, TheNewTK/Jack survives Dr. Travisa going rogue against the employees of Travisa Inc, eventually helping test subject Marinette Scotts defeat the dangerous AI.

In "The Story of Travisa Inc P3 (The Hatch)", TheNewTK has a dream about Minecraft and wakes up later to witness a fight between IG and DarkGEBM over ICola.

In "Citranium - A Travisa Inc Holiday Story", TheNewTK introduces a new carbonated drink named Citranium.

In "Travisa Inc's Newest Weapon, The Deconstructor", it is established that TK has his own Blue Deconstructor, which he used to break into the Annihilation Areas following the neurotoxin attack from Dr. Travisa.

In "Demonic Realm (PMC In Travisainc's Lore Season 2: Episode 4: Demon Realm..)", TK is said to be proud of LittleTravisaIncBlockyCube for defeating a Battletower Golem, a large stone creature from the Demon Realm.

Some details about TheNewTK421/Jack Alex are cited in the backstories of other characters. In "Illager's Life in LittleBlockyCube's PMC Lore.", it is stated that TheNewTK421 and illager are rivals because illager is jealous of TK's academic excellence. In "WillyWonka's backstory in LittleBlockyCube's PMC Lore.", TK is said to be a standup comedian who gets involved in WillyWonka's Chocolate Factory. In "The Story of IGEBM in LittleBlockyCube's PMC Lore.", Jack Alex is said to be IG's father whilst Everlyn is the mother, using the power of the Habit Brooch Bracelet to bring IG into being. Dr. Mythia, a mysterious character who appears in various entries of the lore, is said to stalk TheNewTK and other characters.

Overall, there's quite a bit of lore here about TheNewTK421. Gotta say I'm impressed with how in-depth some of this goes. More will be added when there's more to cover. I'll also try to add anything I may have missed.

Trivia:

• Though TheNewTK421 and Jack Alex are currently established to be the same person, the character of Jack Alex predates TheNewTK421 (both the current character and my PMC account) by quite a few years, with some of the earliest skins dating back to 2020.
• "PMC in LittleBlockyCube's Lore" states that IGEBM's lore exists as an alternate universe, which TK is also (kind of) in.
• Speaking of alternate universes, the Blog "Traviverse (WIP)" discusses a couple different universes with variations on the lore of Travisa Inc. I am a collaborator on this Blog, so I guess I can make some contributions to that if I wish.
• Travisa Inc and much of the lore surrounding it appear to take heavy influence from the Portal and Half-Life games. Dr. Travisa takes inspiration from GLaDOS of Portal's Aperture Science (which Travisa Inc is influenced by to some extent), and Gordon Freeman (the protagonist of the Half-Life games) is mentioned in "The Story of Travisa Inc (P1)". The rivalry between Travisa Inc and Innovation Inc may be slightly based on the rivalry between Aperture Science and Black Mesa. Some other elements, such as the Bracelets, are inspired by sources such as the Miraculous Ladybug franchise. Other influences such as Minecraft and DC (Detective Comics) are incorporated to some extent as well. The Battletower Golem is based on a mob from the Minecraft mod "AtomicStryker's Battle Towers", and the Deconstructor is from the video game LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.
  

IGEBM confirms in a comment that TheNewTK421 (along with any other PMCers he knows about) exists as a character in IGEBM lore, though so far he isn't officially mentioned anywhere. However, the Circle of Caring Souls, PMC Soda Community, and Fruit Club groups, which I am part of on the real PMC, are all documented in "PMC in IGEBM Lore". I'm also a collaborator on "The PMC Cemetery", created by LegendarySi, which is canon to this lore. Due to Si's departure, this cemetery was been succeeded by a new one made by ZappyGru, appropriately named "ZappyGru's PMC Cemetery". After ZappyGru retired, Escapazition started a third cemetery, titled "The New PMC Cemetery [​WIP] (Feedback appreciated)", which is run by a PMC Cemetery group rather than just one user. I'm not part of the later cemeteries though. IG’s in-universe interpretation of this is that management of the cemetery changed after Si died, which involved TK retiring. More info regarding TK in this lore will be added if any more becomes available.

Trivia:

• IGEBM states in the previously referenced comment that he planned for TK to briefly appear in Chapter 7 of PMC: Apocalypse but ultimately couldn't find a way to work him in.

TheNewTK421, among some other PMCers, appears in this seven-part roleplay series. As suggested in the title, the series centers around finding the identity of a mysterious murderer who murders people mysteriously, starting with the murder of Lé himself.

On Day 1, TheNewTK finds a piece of wood hanging from the ceiling and investigates it. However, he dies alongside the remaining PMCers on Day 6 before he can figure out its relevance.

Trivia:

• This is the only PMC roleplay I think I've been involved in (at least one that's organized a certain way.) I mean, technically the Travisa Inc group has some degree of roleplaying but it's not entirely the same thing.
• Lé later made another roleplay series which served as somewhat of a spiritual successor to this one (I think), but I wasn't in that one.

I don't really think I need to talk that much about non-canonical stuff. You generally get the idea that this is the random test animation stuff and other random things that don't fit in a particular canon, so detailing of consistencies is not really necessary since stuff that exists outside of any established universes cannot necessarily be expected to remain completely consistent. Sometimes non-canonical stuff incorporates stuff from particular canons (for instance, characters such as Jeff from the Primary Animated Canon and thenewfn2199 from thenewfn2199's Animated Projects might appear in some things), but they still remain separate from those continuities.

• The thumbnail features multiple variants of my character. One is the version which appears in animated stuff (or at least the current design featured in animations), a sort of pixel art variant (which I've planned to put in a game), a mediocre "realistic" variant of my character (which looks like a character in an old Flash animation because I made it in GIMP), and also my Minecraft skin (which, as of now, is an edit of Steve wearing my clothes.) The showing of different designs is just to establish that my character might have different designs depending on what kind of thing I want to put him in, though in most cases he tends to appear as the first one on the left because that's probably the simplest one to put in most scenarios. I might update the thumbnail over time to add more variants, although I'd have to make sure there's room for more.
• I do have facial hair in real life, but most variants of my character don’t. I guess it's partially because it might look a bit strange in some cases.
• My legs are hairy in real life, too.
• My hair isn't always a perfect bowl cut because a lot of the time I tend to have a lot of hair, so sometimes there's a sort of split in my hair in real life because otherwise it goes down into my eyes. My hair's also sort of messy in real life due to this.

Alright, so that's what I have for now. This will be updated over time if I have something new to add or if I just want to improve some things. Feedback would be appreciated, but of course is not necessary.
