The Official TCA Lore Explained for Dummies: Tapes Explained!

[The Tapes!]

Let's explain it from the beginning of the beginning.

SteamBoat_Willie.mp4: I'm pretty sure everyone's watched this at least once before. However, Let me explain. It was intended as a introduction to the Corruption, visable via the glitches in the video. And I think It's probably the tape that makes the most sense tbh. Easy to understand! And set into motion Lore that I made and was officially deemed canon and now It's a part of my life I can't escape :)

STH2.mp4: This takes place just after the Corruption broke out, and A Corrupted is attempting to convenice the player of the game to let them in, talking about the Moon is beautiful, describing as a Cherry Moon (HOLY SHIT CHERRY REAL-) and promising the person tons of fun. However, This goes south quickly, with the Corruption eventually breaking in, before the video cuts off.

TheOutside.mp4: Fun fact, this is The only TCA tape that was partially filmed IRL meaning that is actually me huffing and puffing and runnin! Anyways, Onto the Plot of this tape. Its fairly barebones. The story is of a guy being chased by Corrupteds, falling in a puddle, and getting caught. Yeah, that's about it..

Timeloop.mp4: This showcases C.AU BF being taken by a mysterious unnamed character to what it calls "Safety" from the Loop. It gives a explanation on the Loop, and is the first time its canonically mentioned in the Tapes, And although this Explanation is no longer correct, it's similar enough that it still somewhat works. the character explains that when Substance-C (The Corruption) first broke out, it was like any world ending virus, however the Gods decided to do something, They turned the Loop into a infinite Loop, with different variations of Characters and Corrupteds, maybe one Loop, there's a corrupted Sonic, the next Loop, there may not be one. It also changed story-wise each Loop, So maybe Xenophanes is killing one Loop, and the next idk, goofy the goober from taco bell has somehow became the next version of Jesus or sum shit, before explaining that many Main Characters came before C.au BF did, like Neo GF, Amy, Blueberri, Cyan, Citrus, etc. but most noteably MMM GF (canon events), after sum mumbo jumbo about MMM GF's backstory and Boni, He explains he only stays in  the place to avoid being caught in the Loop and having their memory erased. And then their inturrepting by the Gods attempting to break down the door and bust their kneecaps, and the character tells Cherry to go fuck herself lmao- before getting deleted, must've pissed cherry off lol.

Confrontion.mp4: the unnamed character wakes up somewhere, potentially the Character Void, aka the Flipside (tca guide gonna reveal some stuff later.) anyways, We meet fuckin MMM GF, aka Monolith (holy shit no way) anyways, its revealed that MMM GF has gained crystals all over her body, and Monolith explains a bit of backstory, before the unnamed character comments on how her left eye has a crystal lodged inside it, alongside her being covered in them, godzilla style and shit. ok, uhh anyways. It's revealed that MMM wants to go back into the Loop, however is denied entry by the server's security on the Character Void. after some pretty much reconned lore, she says she wants to destroy the Loop, and she apparantly asked the character to do something for her. after the Character says TCA is dead, MMM says no it isn', and proceeds to steal that character's kidney- I mean energy, so she can get back into TCA.

The_Message.mp4: Notably, this is the only TCA Tape to be made by a different person, Cherry was the one that made this! as for the lore, Monolith explains that she found a way into TCA, and says it wasn't necessary to sap unnamed Characters energy, but she had to. She says she can finally put the Loop to an end. (bah, like thats ever gonna happen-)  plus, she doesn't know if it'll work in the first place. She then says she needs to find a way into TCA, before saying she needs to keep the recording hidden away, so THEY (the Gods) don't find out about her dastardly plan. btw if anyone watching the discord stream, the reason i pause is to either check discord or watch one of the tapes to refresh my memory. nobody speakin in chat are yall even watching?? ok lmao anyways now where were we- oh yea
