"Fucking with a fanbase is bad if it causes them to-" *checks notes* "-engage with their favorite part of the show." Alright then. 👍

My point is that the teasing creator is far from a new trope. It's really not the same as, say, burning all your writing down to pull a new twist out of your ass. You just need to get a sense of humor.

“The Pyramid Guy from the opening credits literally has no significance to the show and never will. He’s just a generic image made to look mythological or spooky like most things in the intro.”

#of course the thing with teasing your audience is you have to be genuinely cool enough to get away with it #hense the Alex Hirsch and Toby Fox's of the world #if you lean into it too much or don't actually have the talent to deliver (or are a complete dick) it just makes you look like a twit #hense the Scott Cawthons and Modern Homestuck Teams of the world #to circle back to Homestuck #there's a reason Andrew Hussie was practically worshipped back in the day before the Epilogues pissed on everything #they seemed in on the joke as it were
