He began drawing in OWOT at the start of 2025 because the site allows him to copy his creations for safekeeping, whereas a good amount of his YWOT creations had long since been griefed, with no backups existing. | ||
Currently, Rscr is mainly copying art from manga panels and other sources(''when he is drawing at all, sometimes there can be month-long gaps between creations''). But by 2026 he plans to return to making original drawings.<gallery mode="packed" heights="300"> | Currently, Rscr is mainly copying art from manga panels and other sources(''when he is drawing at all, sometimes there can be month-long gaps between creations'').

Upon learning of the Mainpage's return Rscr immediately made a second journey to Nirvana. Finally he was able to leave messages of his own among the countless travelers who came before; though he was 14 at the time and not accustomed to writing stuff on the internet, so as of 2025 Rscr cringes heavily at the mere thought of his older writings. A few days later he was invited into the YWOT Explorers community along with several prominent North Road travelers, and this was when his presence on the site truly began. | Upon learning of the Mainpage's return Rscr immediately made a second journey to Nirvana.

Over the next four years | ==== YWOT Explorers ==== | ||
Over the next four years Rscr contributed to a variety of projects under the YWOT Explorers. In particular, he made numerous additions to their art project [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T186L5Gn-OY Dreamer's Road], which now spans thousands of coordinates from the efforts of many users. He also recruited a number of users into the community, of which he has since become the oldest active member as of 2024. | |||
He continued traveling the canvas, albeit with less frequency as years went by. In 2022 he contributed to an effort by Mandrake to populate YWOT's [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Northwest_Line Northwest] and [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Southeast_Line Southeast] Lines, leaving both messages, art, and ASCII towns along these previously barren trails. He also spent a great deal of time exploring old subworlds from the early 2010s, ranging from YWOT's many [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/North_Road_(2010_Archive) Mainpage] [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/North_Road_(2015_Archive) backups] to the forgotten reaches of [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Msernst /msernst], which was known for its [https://cultorjustweird.libsyn.com/s2e7-the-line cult following] in the earlier days of the site. | |||
During periods between travels, Rscr would frequently make and screenshot art at YWOT's [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Spam_Central Spam Central]. He participated in a long running trend where users collaborated to draw [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Bunnytown bunnies] and other [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Spawn_Animals wacky creatures] at Spawn. It was while making art at Spawn, as well as in more distant places, that Rscr began to gradually improve his ASCII art skills. | |||
Rscr's other notable activities have been creating a [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZOfcnSHN_cNZdzf1_psHa_S1YqJgeNm_ series of YWOT timelapses] and talking on the YWOT (Explorers) Discord. As time went on he traveled less and less, instead turning his attention to researching the history of the site. Today he is responsible for a significant portion of the content on the new [https://yourworldoftext.wiki YWOT wiki], which [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/History_of_the_YWOT_Wiki#2024:_Creation_of_a_New_Wiki moved off of Fandom] in 2024. | |||
