Noxigar started most of this descriptive hogwash. He, and others, were children when this trainwreck of a show idea first started. We've taken measures to improve as writers; while we're all violently embarassed by what's been kept in this Archive, we do still have a use for MOST of it and thus it stays unless we get bored of it or something.

The History Behind Wikihood Redux

Wikihood was a fanfiction project conjured up by other people, its goal being to mimic RoosterTeeth's The Strangerhood.

However, the project had a lot of rocky starts. It started on the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki; as it did not have enough Homestar Runner content in it, it was quickly eliminated. Then, they moved it to the Wiki User Wiki for the first round. However, this iteration of Wikihood also did not last long, due to the site's upkeep costs. The Wiki User Wiki had to be reanimated twice, and in both instances Wikihood was a project that kept getting blown up. The original authors decided to attempt to go back to the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki, with what they called Wikihood II. However, Wikihood II would not survive what happened next, either. One of the Admins got tired of the fanfiction quality of the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki being "low," so he (Its Dot Com) had the site Purged, something other Admins and Sysops all readily agreed to helping with. However, the Purge took multiple years to restore "the Gravy Boat" of good fanfiction anyway, so most of the people who worked on Wikihood moved on to the Wiki User Wiki you see now, and tried to make something of themselves. Their version was Wikihood III, whilst one of the original authors helped us make our own Wikihood, which we call Wikihood Redux.

Wikihood Redux has a lot of issues, but we still have some really good concepts and Episodes we've honed and perfected, enough that even Wikihood Prime is still serviceable to some degree.

Archive Theme Song

Special Episodes

As we were fans of Homestar Runner, we attempted to perform a concept similar to them: Special Episodes. These would have something unique take place. Only early Wikihood Redux ever attempted them.

None of them were ever fully completed, and one of them had been deleted (Wikihood Origins) before we started Wikihood Prime, so it could be worked on. We might revisit the ideas, for Current Wikihood, though it is otherwise uncertain what would be done with episodes that didn't even have that many lines to them.

  • Wikihood: Origins - A new subseries of Special Episodes, showcasing the origins of the main characters. Before Wikihood
  • Non-Canon Cannon: Redux - Oh, no. The infamous neverending Wikihood session, that lasts forever. Alternate Timeline
  • Wikihood:Redux & The Several Plotholes - Answers to all the good questions that started plotholes. Anyone who has left one, please add on. During Episodes 21 and 22
  • Thirteen Organs And A What now?(working title) - A special episode that looks into the pasts of Joseph, Sephiroth, and Noxigar way back when in the Organization XIII days. Before Wikihood
  • Davros's Evil Council - Just like in the Abridged Series, Davros unites all the popular villains, and not so popular villains, in a council meeting. Between Episodes 28 and 29
  • Dive Into The Heart - Joseph, Davaros, and Oiracul are re-introduced into the Wikihood universe. During Episode 37

Anti-Episodes

One of Wikihood's problems was that it was trying too hard to be like a different webtoon entirely - Bonus Stage. Bonus Stage has aged worse than milk, due to the author hating his own work and his own fans to the point of deleting everything he worked on and to the point of not being particularly kind to his fans - though some of them probably deserved it, if they threatened the author's life.

Once a Season of Wikihood Redux, except for the soft reboots, an Anti-Episode would be made. In Bonus Stage, Anti-Episodes were Episodes that were essentially just massive shitposts, that didn't have any canonical validity to them. In Wikihood, two of the Episodes were edit conflicts made manifest in the direction of a particular arc crashing and burning, and only Redux Season 3's Anti-Episode can be considered a proper one.

Incomplete Episodes

Redux had Episode ideas that were massively incomplete. At least one of them was because one author insisted on writing it themselves, but never got fully around to it. At least one of the soft-reboot seasons is marred completely by Episodes not being finished.

We had some okay ideas from at least one, that have made it into Current Wikihood through indirect means.

If Black Dynamite Can't Get Away With It...

One Episode had a shitty synopsis because we had attempted to use terminology that was acceptable during the beginning of the Civil Rights Era in the 1960's. Thanks to the goddamn alt-right, for stealing words and actively making them fucking harmful, we had to remove the synopsis from it. We were not initially aware of this fact, until our peers brought it up. The authors of Current Wikihood have since corrected their behaviour, and removed the synopsis from this Episode in the hopes of not fucking up again.

May transmisic Nazis be scalped.

"Tea & Crumpets"

Another solid Wikihood Redux Episode exists, but it is tainted by our memories of edit conflicts that happened during the first few Episodes, which as a result caused a massive continuity snarl.

"Tea and Crumpets?" was the fifth Episode of Wikihood Redux. It established Redux's tone, in a way, and the concept of time travel was always something a Wikihood sibling project included, more often than not. However, the main reason this Episode was any "good" would be more because of the fun had whilst writing the Episode at-large.

We would attempt to revisit the concept of an "early-generation" Wikihood, in Prime. The previous generation's Noxigar was initially going to be an ex-Soviet scientist, who happened upon two residents of San Cristobal (the equivalents of Lex & Chaos). They would proceed to do something cool in San Cristobal, establishing themselves as a gang. This was meant for Prime Season 2-onwards, and had not been written yet before Prime's cancellation.

For now, the concept of this has been jokingly explored by Garfield, in Current Wikihood. He has mentioned the origin story of the "original" Noxigar - a sentient Katawa Heart, and has implied that he has known many people named Lex - and has yet to find the original Emperor Fullmetal Daddy Lex which spawns "homunculi Lexes."

Wikihood Prime: Proto-Season 1

When we worked on Wikihood Prime, we had decided to start from scratch. Much like Wikihood Redux, however, we had massive conflicts of creative differences which needed to be reconciled. As a result, we only ever got around to ALMOST finishing one Season, before we would attempt to redo everything, fail, and then end up getting inspired to do Current Wikihood later.

At least we had a year of the Wiki User Wiki being down for us to get by through other means. :9

Episodes Rendered Obsolete By A Single Current Wikihood Episode

Basically, we had concepts from early Prime that translated far better as a more sitcom-oriented Episode. Current Wikihood boasts an idea initially made for Prime's rework, No Hall Like Town Hall, and had reformatted it after firmly establishing Current Wikihood's tone, in direct contrast with what was presented in Prime.

Episodes Rendered Obsolete Due To Prime's Cancellation Rendering Them Unfinishable

One Episode was being reworked as Prime was cancelled, and another Episode was going to serve as the Final Episode of Prime Season 1. They are both aggressively incomplete.

The Token Good Wikihood Prime Episodes

This Episode established an arc intended to be in Prime, known as the Lou Cypher arc. Current Wikihood intends to reference it, from what's been inferred in conversation.

This Episode is where at least one of the authors presumably had the most fun. It established Prime's tone near-perfectly.

This Episode was a good climax Episode, that built up a lot of things going on. The next Episode was presumed to help give payoff for all of the buildup done here.

The Token Tea & Crumpets Episode

The importance of this Episode, no matter how thoroughly mediocre it has become, is such that it's listed here as what basically cements the introduction of a lot of concepts. I highly doubt Sephiroth will allow Fritz & Lang, a pair of RosenBorgs, to re-appear in the state Prime left them in. However, we did have a different version of Stephanie Young, Rosenberg Industries, and even D'Arque himself. This Episode is at least noteworthy for introducing a lot of Prime Season 1 on its own terms, and what it would entail.

Other Proto-Season Episodes

  1. More Wars VI: Return of The 'Hood — The gang tries to return home. Of course, this means that D'Arque's going to give them copious amounts of hell.
  2. Debonair D'Arque's Mad Dash! — With the gang in need of money, D'Arque decides to help them out. At least, as well as any undead politician could.
  3. City That Never Sleeps — Remolay and Oiracul get much-needed character development while the remainder of the Wikihood Gang go on a "vacation" to New York.
  4. Riches to Rags — With D'Arque reduced to rags and Rosenberg poised to strike, the tables are turning for our villains.
  5. The Next Episode — After a hostile kidnapping from the likes of Rosenberg, he finally manages to "convince" them to join him to bring glory back to Midway.
  6. Townindale Talks — What Rosenberg sets out to do, we can get done without flash and bang. Take this testimony from our colorful citizens!
  7. Better Late than Living — D'Arque's up to no good, but leave it to the Sea Hitmen to make sure word gets out.
  8. Ghouls Just Want To Have Fun — The Wikihood and Rosenberg must try and breach D'Arque's defenses before he can succeed in creating an undead utopia.
  9. Abracadaver — After assembling a citizen militia to take Townindale back by force, the Wikihood run into a more reoccuring problem, named Droll.
