#feraliminal speculation

[feraliminal]

I have a completely unfounded cheeky headcanon that the Executor’s consciousness was built from the remains of the large speakerman who was destroyed in episode 68.

Plungerman and the dark speakerman couldn’t be recovered in the same way (yet?) because, as their consciousnesses included memories from human mind uploads, they needed continuity and couldn’t be recovered from being completely shut down like a robot mind that started from a blank template can. In theory it could be done, but in practice it’s a disconcerting enough experience for someone who’s fully robot to die then come back - so it’s only done for specific reasons, like to build someone who needs to kick arse more than be of completely sound mind.

A consciousness that has a strong identification with a human source may just refuse to acknowledge it’s alive again.

Because I am determined not to mention politics (trust me, I do enough of that in real life and need a break from it sometimes), this is something I think about in fandom too. Characters who aren’t leaders aren’t going to know about everything that happens in a war, and things will trickle down like a game of telephone.

Totally something I’m using in a fic soon, I can see cameramen contingents being rumour mills because there’s a lot of them and they’re spread out globally. I bet toilets have similar problems because their command structure is sure to have grown pretty organically. Like, “wait a sec, are we still fighting?”

A Very Silly Universal Theory of Skibidi Toilet

There’s an old pseudoscientific belief that space is a fluid. This is why, in the Cthulhu mythos, the Mi-Go are crustaceans that have fins to “swim” through the aether. Real space isn’t a fluid, but there could be a fluid that fills the gaps in between real space, and allows navigation by ridiculously overpowered spacefaring species. Then, obviously, the toilet theme makes sense, because they they’re connecting to the plumbing of the multiverse. It’s not their fault that one of the planets they encountered got the wrong message and started using their design for plumbing of a much more earthly kind.

At some point, humans rediscovered the infinite potential of this space fluid, and started plumbing the depths themselves to do things like give computers enough power to generate truly conscious AI. If consciousness needs complexity and magic space fluid is pretty complex, it’s probably conscious too and results in... weird conscious energy, I guess. You know, the whole “the universe can hear you if you believe hard enough” stuff, and maybe it’s where souls come from or go to. Maybe the first robots needed antennae to connect to the aether or something before the tech got more advanced, and ended up looking suspiciously TV-shaped. And being that connected to the magic space fluid, they can dive through it to other parts of the real world. Unfortunately, the aetheric fluid got out somehow and ended up with affected humans stretching into wormy shapes reaching their tails into it, becoming gibbering horrors with a “foot” in both the real and immaterial world.

Anyway, warp gates, titan cores, and whatever those energy things in the TV base are all tap into the same magic space fluid that skibidi toilets extend their wormy bodies into. I’ll probably die laughing if something like this ends up being canon. And also kind of don’t want a canon explanation of where all this crap came from, because it being ultimately unexplained adds to the fun!

I can’t imagine that they’d go back to fighting after going through all of that together, particularly since they must be sharing bases and technology now. I expect everyone - Alliance, Skibidis, and surviving humans - would need to work together to rebuild civilisation.

I’d like to think that because they saw where humans went wrong, they’d be able to make a kinder civilisation. Because they’d got used to cooperating to defeat the Astros, they might already have the starting point of a society with everyone working together and sharing resources rather than with rulers telling everyone what to do. And they probably wouldn’t have country borders because the Alliance and Skibidis are both global networks.

It will probably be difficult for some characters to get used to working with the enemy though (I’m actually interested to see if Titan Speakerman is willing to work with the Skibidis in the next few episodes after the whole parasite thing). It might also be difficult for characters who’d been built to fight to get used to peace. I can imagine the titans and big Skibidis getting bored, wandering around aimlessly and sparring with each other quite often. For some reason (maybe because he seems calmer), I could imagine Titan Cameraman adapting more easily than the others and enjoying helping rebuild things. Maybe he’d be like the sensible grownup for the others and help them calm down.

Question.

What do you all think will happen when the astro's are finally defeated? Would the Skibidis and alliance go back to fighting each other or will it be a sort of tense peace? I would like to see your opinions please!^^

I can’t like a post twice, but I can reblog!
