The Inktactillia

The Inktactillia is a book written by Gordon Lomken in the Stationery Voyagers universe; and it serves as a philosophy and history guide to understanding events related to the Minshan Writings. It also helps to explain things that happen pre-series yet after the Minshan Writings would have been written.

In-universe, Inktactillia is considered a highly controversial book due to its strong defense of Paleoconservative positions. Most often, when Mitchell reads passages from it, those passages will tie in thematically with the episode's name.

Season One: Vocations
Inktactillia is read from extensively in "Scalding Inquiries," where most of the episode takes place in a flashback to the Dawn of Time. By "What Must Happen," the book gets a slightly less-pronounced role. However, it remains significant as it bears clues to helping Mitchell figure out his destiny&mdash;and himself.
