[[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that her personality is greatly influenced by the askers, who send in a lot of dumb/chaotic suggestions, many of her more stupid actions have been prompted by them, and it's been heavily implied that it's extremely difficult for her to disobey a direct order from one of the askers [[https://seekerquest.tumblr.com/post/620288374045081600/what-happens-to-seeker-if-one-of-us-sends-the to the point that she would literally explode if given a command she couldn't obey.]]

** Fen is this to Seeker throughout most of their time after they meet. Downplayed in that Seeker is more of an example of ChaoticStupid than a cloudcuckoolander.
** Seeker is this to some of the voices in her head when they're ''too'' crazy. It's even funnier when you remember that the voices in her head are the readers of the comic out-of-universe.

[[spoiler: Pax was trying to figure out a workaround for this by using emotions, memories, or concepts instead, but it didn't end well. As of right now, the story seems to be based around deconstructing this concept- the Family need to sacrifice parts of their bodies or masks to make creations, Mim nearly killed herself from making too many creations, as she used too much of her body and mask in the process and was permanently and visibly physically damaged afterwards, and the plot is driven by Pax's attempt to "cheat the system" by using more intangible parts of himself, such as concepts or memories, to create life, only for it to backfire and result in him becoming the Impostor]].

* GoodAllAlong: Zig-zagged with [[spoiler: Pax/the Impostor, who initially appears to be a more neutral-to-vaguely antagonistic force, then is portrayed in a better light by Fen, who thinks the Impostor is Pax (as does the audience at this point).

Then Architect tells Seeker that Pax killed all of his creations of his own volition at some ambiguous point ''before'' becoming the Impostor, but Architect never thought very highly of Pax anyway and might be leaving out some things and it's implied that by that point he'd stripped away a lot of himself and as a result wasn't exactly in his right mind]].

* IdiotBall: In-universe, with the revelation that they're [[spoiler: what's left of Pax's dead creations]], the voices in Seeker's head have definitely been exhibiting this trope.
