=== Animated Carrion ===
=== Animated Carrion ===
An animated version of [[The Carrion]], a sentient red blob that frequently appears at Spawn.
On December 25th, 2024, Banksy set about making a script based on the 2020 video game [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnqmBhr4vLM ''Carrion''] (which was also the inspiration for a [[The Carrion|popular blob entity]] from OWOT).
 
Two versions of the script were used for testing purposes:


# A circular blob that Banksy could freely maneuver around the canvas. It had several abilities, such as creating a splash effect and attacking text using tendrils.
They created two testing scripts throughout the animated Carrion's development process, the first of which was a circular blob that Banksy could freely maneuver around the canvas. It had several abilities, such as creating a splash effect and attacking text using tendrils. The fully developed Carrion would more or less be a larger version of this script with more features and animations.
## The blob was intended to have color, but was rendered black by the front page's [[color ban]].
## This is most likely a simplified version of the following script, meant to test the controls and abilities of the animated Carrion.
# A colorful script that rendered 3 dimensional physics simulations onto Banksy's page, spawning complex patterns that could grow, pulsate, and that became increasingly lifelike throughout the testing process.
## Once an animation was started, Banksy could guide its growth by clicking at specific points on the canvas.


The completed script may resemble the monster from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnqmBhr4vLM ''Carrion''(''2020'')]. The user will likely guide a pulsating, ever-expanding mass around the canvas via clicking(''like in the physics simulation script''), all while commanding it to perform lashing attacks with its tentacles(''like in the circular blob script'').<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="Black and white tests on the front page">

</gallery>The second testing script was a colorful program that rendered physics simulations onto Banksy's page. It spawned complex, 3 dimensional patterns that could grow and pulsate, and that became increasingly lifelike throughout the testing process. Once an animation was started, Banksy could guide its growth by clicking at specific points on the canvas. This was meant to serve as a test for how the completed Carrion would move.


Most of the larger/more extravagant animations from this script did not make it into the final product. Some were cut due to technical restrictions and to prevent the Carrion from being too destructive.


<gallery mode="packed" widths="200" heights="200" caption="Colored tests on [https://ourworldoftext.com/banksy /Banksy]">
Some of the physics simulations used small blobs (like from the first script) as a base unit for drawing lines. Banksy would later use a similar mechanism to create a dynamic brush tool.<gallery mode="packed" widths="200" heights="200" caption="Colored tests on [https://ourworldoftext.com/banksy /Banksy]">

</gallery>The script was completed on January 7th, 2026.
 
The final product was a medium sized, meat colored blob that would automatically attack nearby text using thin tendrils. Like the 3D physics simulations, Banksy could guide its movement by clicking where they wanted it to go, upon which the blob would rapidly glide to the desired location using a special animation. There was also a mode where the blob would slowly travel towards Banksy's cursor, with Banksy using the space bar being to toggle between the two types of locomotion.


<gallery mode="packed" caption="High res stills">
The blob had to be shrunk down from its planned size due to technical constraints. Even in its minimized state it would make up to 3000 edits per seconds, well over the Frontpage's ratelimit<ref>512 characters per second for most users.</ref>.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="Completed version of the script on January 7th, 2026">

/Banksy redesign on January 5th, 2026[1][2]

I'm surprised this username isn't taken yet — Banksy after creating their account on December 20th, 2025

this implies banksy retired from graffiti and started to make owot scripts instead — Katiserie

Banksy (named after the pseudonymous street artist of the same name) is a user who first made their presence known in November 2025. Since then they have become one of the most prolific scripters in the site's history, introducing multiple new scripts daily at the peak of their activity. In particular, they have created more animated scripts than any other user on OWOT[3].

Banksy had another username in 2018 but has since forgotten it. They were active as an anon up until December 2025, when they took the name "Banksy" after creating an image paster in order to paste their namesake's grafitti at Spawn.

Their text color is #000055 .

Old /Banksy

Animated scripts

Main article: Animated scripts

Banksy was inspired to create animated scripts after seeing Mr. Black's animations in late 2024.

All scripts from December 19th, 2025 to ????, 2026 were rendered monochrome due to a color ban on the frontpage. See Banksy's world for the colored versions, as well as some scripts that are not captured here.

Unless stated otherwise, all gifs on this page are playing at real time.

  • *Note: Some of the later animations have unnaturally high frame rates (for OWOT), which isn't really captured in these gifs.

Platformer stickman

A user-controlled stickman that runs around the canvas, climbing over text and destroying them by firing projectiles. Users with this script can customize the colors of their stickmen and display their usernames over them.

This is a recreation of a stickman platformer script by lime, which contains many of the same animations but lacks the ability to fire projectiles. You can see that script in action here.

Banksy released his platformer stickman to the public in November 2025. Prolific users of it included NextOS, Voidi and qwas.

Animated Carrion

On December 25th, 2024, Banksy set about making a script based on the 2020 video game Carrion (which was also the inspiration for a popular blob entity from OWOT).

They created two testing scripts throughout the animated Carrion's development process, the first of which was a circular blob that Banksy could freely maneuver around the canvas. It had several abilities, such as creating a splash effect and attacking text using tendrils. The fully developed Carrion would more or less be a larger version of this script with more features and animations.

The second testing script was a colorful program that rendered physics simulations onto Banksy's page. It spawned complex, 3 dimensional patterns that could grow and pulsate, and that became increasingly lifelike throughout the testing process. Once an animation was started, Banksy could guide its growth by clicking at specific points on the canvas. This was meant to serve as a test for how the completed Carrion would move.

Most of the larger/more extravagant animations from this script did not make it into the final product. Some were cut due to technical restrictions and to prevent the Carrion from being too destructive.

Some of the physics simulations used small blobs (like from the first script) as a base unit for drawing lines. Banksy would later use a similar mechanism to create a dynamic brush tool.

The script was completed on January 7th, 2026.

The final product was a medium sized, meat colored blob that would automatically attack nearby text using thin tendrils. Like the 3D physics simulations, Banksy could guide its movement by clicking where they wanted it to go, upon which the blob would rapidly glide to the desired location using a special animation. There was also a mode where the blob would slowly travel towards Banksy's cursor, with Banksy using the space bar being to toggle between the two types of locomotion.

The blob had to be shrunk down from its planned size due to technical constraints. Even in its minimized state it would make up to 3000 edits per seconds, well over the Frontpage's ratelimit[13].

Blobby Paint

Main article: Art § Brush scripts

A script for doodling on the canvas.

It shares some effects with the animated Carrion scripts, creating lines by chaining together black dots of various sizes.

On January 6th, Banksy started experimenting with a colored version of the script in his personal testing world. This update also introduced high quality brush styles, making it by far the most complex brush script at the time.

Link art

The following images were created by Banksy during the 2025 color ban, when (excluding emojis) only coordinate and URL links could be used for color. With this limited palette in mind, Banksy made purposeful decisions to highlight important parts of these monochrome image pastes, giving them an artistic quality in the process. The relative rarity of color would have also made these additions all the more eye-catching for users active during the color ban.

A couple of these are also entire handmade.

Notes

  1. ↑ The Center Console is a replica of the YWOT spawn box. "Is muh bennis" was a running gag from YWOT in the early 2020s (and possibly earlier) where someone would write "is muh bennis" beneath the Spawn box almost every day.
  2. ↑ The redesign occurred from January 5th to January 7th. The end result was more intentionally formatted than the previous layout of the world and introduced a teal motif, which was added to some pre-existing scripts.
  3. ↑ That we know of.
  4. ↑ Turn up brightness to see all details.
  5. ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 See full color version on /Banksy.
  6. ↑ This script originally used a dynamite stick emoji instead of a bomb emoji.
  7. ↑ FP and PinkiePie (among others) have created similar scripts in the past.
  8. ↑ it was intended to be like giant amoeba but when i coded the cut-off to be late it looked like worms which i thought were cool — Banksy
  9. ↑ The worms/snakes/amoebas were made from octants, and were yellow in their full-colored states. Banksy also created thinner, longer worms.
  10. ↑ From generating too many hearts in one place. The glitchy effect is created whenever two hearts touch.
  11. ↑ 11.0 11.1 The butterflies were initially orange, but got changed to teal in order to match the colors of Banksy's page.
  12. ↑ Grey highlights are from the script exceeding OWOT's ratelimit by pasting too fast. Another side effect of this is that certain animations often leave behind afterimages.
  13. ↑ 512 characters per second for most users.
