The Land of Tents and Mirth (LOTAM) is Gamzee Makara's planet in the Medium. It is a land of carnival attractions.

Concept and creation[]

Tents and mirth both stem from Gamzee's religion; mirth, being a feeling of joy or elation, may also contrast with Gamzee's Rage aspect in a similar fashion to the contrast between a Prince of Hope and the Land of Wrath and Angels.

The striking resemblance between LOTAM and the Dark Carnival as it appearsHS on Earth may indicate the planet's appearance stems from Gamzee's religious beliefs on the afterlife.

Geography[]

The Land of Tents and Mirth is covered entirely with conical, spiral-patterned circus tents, and other platform-like structures of a similar size and construction. Many of these tents are topped with beacon-like spheres of light not unlike the beacons found on Caliborn's EarthHS, and star-printed orange balloons identical to those introduced to Earth by the Insane Clown Posse float throughout.

Habitation[]

It is unknown what kind of consorts or denizen inhabited the Land of Tents and Mirth.

This planet's underlings seem to come in a variety of colors, including teal imps and purple basilisks; it is not known what manner of grist these colors may represent.

History[]

Presumably, at some point "prior" to Gamzee's arrival, the planet's denizen was prompted by Agents of Derse to start creating an army of underlings.[1]

Gamzee began exploring the planet on his own. At first he fought the underlings, but then he began sharing pies with them and being all chill. Soon his best friend Karkat Vantas and the Dersite agent Jack Noir joined him in exploring the planet. These two eventually left, and Gamzee continued alone on his planet.

LOTAM was destroyed with the other eleven planets when Jack Noir rampaged through the troll session.

  1. Act 4.HS ...When he was awake he was asked by some really terrible guys to commission a whole bunch of Underlings. He then went about befouling our land with all this sludge, clogging up all our beautiful Pipes, and now it can barely breathe. He was sort of a huge dick. Once he tuckered himself out with all that I guess he decided to take a nap. / The terrible guys? They are a bunch of mean fellows who like to push people around. They are called Agents.
