A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms.

Enthusiasms, enthusiasms...
My theory is that they aren’t actually evil just misunderstood

I honestly just want to learn more about The Unknown's lore.

We know The Unknown is played by a girl, but does The Unknown actually consider itself to be a girl? It gives off more of a masculine or possibly even sexless energy. I feel like 'it' would be The Unknown's preferred pronoun because 'it' sounds mysterious.

And how exactly does The Unknown 'live inside the walls of the factory?' Is there like a 3 foot gap between a couple walls where it sleeps in a pile of knitted sweaters, or does it just kind of phase into solid walls like a ghost entering the spectral realm? Is the Unknown a magical entity or just a regular trespassing weirdo who watched too many sov-cit YouTubes about squatter rights?

And what is the scope of it's confectionary interests? Does The Unknown seek to innovate the same kind of delectable treats that interest Wonka, or is it some sort of anti-confectioner making goober drops and snot dollups? Does it sneak out of the walls to use Wonka's kitchen in the dead of night, or did it construct its own private candy lab between the walls in violation of local fire codes?

I need answers.

see i was thinking The Unknown did the phasing into/out of the walls thing for sure

I like how BingTM made it so the guy in the forefront is the normal chocolatier and the in-the-wall guy is just more evil.

"I'm a really useful engine!"
the saga has reached a brilliant and worthy conclusion

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/mar/14/props-from-botched-willy-wonka-event-raise-over-2000-for-palestinian-aid-charity

the guardian posted:

Props from a botched Willy Wonka event in Glasgow that went viral after frustrated attenders called the police have raised more than £2,000 at auction for a Palestinian aid charity.

Fabric backdrops from the “immersive experience”, which was cancelled midway, were found in a bin outside the warehouse where it took place.

Monorail Music, a record shop in the city, auctioned the remains on eBay after they were passed on by the finder. The listing said: “Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to own a piece of history.”

The Wonka event gained online notoriety after images of the sparsely decorated warehouse in Glasgow, staffed by actors dressed as Oompa Loompas and other characters, spread worldwide. On Thursday, the listing had a total of 57 bids and the items were sold for £2,250. Michael Kasparis, online manager of Monorail, described the outcome as “amazing”.

“We are all watching it like you’d watch the end of a football game,” he said. “It was £900 and then jumped to £1,050, then, one second before it closed, it was £2,050, and it came through at £2,250.

“We’d thought if it goes into four figures we’d be very happy, so it was a pretty amazing result.”


He said the buyer of the backdrops is not from Glasgow but lives elsewhere in the UK. “I was slightly worried that the joke had gone, but it doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon,” he said.

The money raised is being donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians, a charity helping to provide shelter, food and urgent medical aid in Gaza. Kasparis continued: “I personally was a little bit worried that the auction was a bit silly for the cause, but we thought, if it raises money, that’s the most important thing.

“It’s a charity we’ve all donated to and that we all care deeply about, and it was kind of a no-brainer when we thought to auction it for charity.”

Can you help me with the Unknown's redemption ark story? The prequel to the current story. Why make evil chocolate in the walls? What trauma darkened the Unknown from a normal wall chocolatier to an evil one? Why is dime store Wonka the target of her/he/it's fury? Does it involve IP from other movie franchises? Is Willy her/he/it's father? Does the Unknown just want to build a snowman? Does it not need to be a snowman?

The unknown grew up eating grotty sweets like Hersheys and wants to fix this injustice by replacing all confectionery with cheaply made tasteless rubbish. If everyone can't have nice chocolate, no-one can :twisted:

Also something about exploitation, forced labour and the unsustainability of cocoa agriculture. There is exploitation all through the supply chain from the growers to the Oompa Loompas. The 'Unknown' is a reference to all the faceless people killed, maimed and displaced by the global chocolate trade.

The Unknown is good, actually

So-called AI yanked some words out of the overgrown text prediction machine because they seemed likely to be the kinds of words that would appear in proximity to each other based on huge amounts of human-generated text. Everything interesting about The Unknown is what humans have come up with based on what the machine shat out. There's plenty in the script generated by the grifter that doesn't strike anyone as compelling or good, but people just ignore those bits and elaborate on what they can make something of.

The Unknown is good, actually

The Unknown's mother was dropped into a boiling vat of soy lecithin by the meth ompa loompa mafia and he/she/it takes it's revenge by hiding the real chocolate and making bunnies using the ingredient that caused the pain.

Southern American accidents do actually sound a lot more like Old English did, since they actually changed the language less than the people who remained in England did. Apparently Shakespeare makes a fair bit more sense if you speak it like Gomer Pyle.
