now this, this is fascinating!

even before any kind of reveal, test tube is under the impression that a contestant's existence is dependent on the game they're in -- she doesn't think this season should exist, that it's a mistake, and likewise, she doesn't think these contestants should exist either, that they're a mistake too: a mistake as a by-product of the mistake that is inanimate insanity infinity ever occurring as a season. she doesn't even think that these new characters could've already existed, living their own lives, just recruited by salt and pepper... no, she thinks they were made. and...

...oh. damn.

yeah okay the twist wasn't even a twist, was it?

#melonposting #ii spoilers #ii 16 spoilers #also... there's a point made that all of the contestants here are zany and unserious like lightbulb #which is why she initially gets along with them. because in a lot of ways she's the same #you can imagine both they and lightbulb were made that way as contestants. that's the archetype they were made to full #but lightbulb has been able to develop past just that. she's more. she's not a flat character #maybe it has to do with the fact that she was actually able to compete in the competition? like these guys can't?#lightbulb becomes disillusioned with them because they're her at her most 1-dimensional state #though it's funny -- salt and pep seem to hate their competitors #every time they're generated they end up like this. zany and unserious and ultimately annoying #which suggests that they're not consciously crafting each character #i wonder if it has anything to do with the mephone who generates them? or if it's salt and pep's subconscious (possibly like mephone4)?#it's also fascinating how salt and pepper see the contestants as weird and below them. that the two of them are the only normal ones #the very act of creating them makes them feel superior........ something something.............................#also this is a side note but it's very funny and sad how lighty and tt can win by feeding off of pepper's insecurity #about salt not really liking or respecting her #augh!!!#her 'latching on' to salt...... makes me think of her ii1 elimination and then how salt proceeded to fixate on oj instead #leaving pepper to pine for her somewhat even when they reunited :(
