Test Tube Suspicion

ok so i have a few things about test tube and the next episode part considering they said she would have a bigger role they also said that about knife but this post isn’t about him happy knife day so thats my ticket to talk about this before the episode comes out i would talk about this on test tube day but that seems to be after the release date so i’ll just reblog this on test tube day happy test tube day to the people reading this on test tube day

i think test tube is not who she says she is.test tube is a beloved character as well as most other characters in the fandom but these are the reasons why i don’t trust her

she doesn’t talk much ,ill start with the weakest reason first now this is could be do to introversion or some anxiety disorder but having it in an animated series is kind of weird

THIS VIDEO

this is a video of test tube singing ‘Still Alive’ from Portal as she murders other contestants now this could also be do to joking around because ha ha glados is science who murders people we also have a science character lets make her sing a song from portal but i still count this as a reason because murder is,you know bad. i’d probably see this as a reason even if it wasn’t titled..

TEST TUBES BIG SOLO you know a solo in music a solo is when only one person plays. in a situation where only test tube is in the scene which sounds awesome and could also reveal a side of test tube we haven’t seen before maybe in the next part, maybe later but as the video was it will be most likely shown in

HER LAB you know how many times we have seen her lab in the show? Once. You know how many times its been mentioned after that? None. You know how many people were in there other then her the one time it was seen? Two or one however you see yin-yang.I don’t know about you but that raises some suspicion flags for me. Especially sense the person who could tell people about her lab is eliminated. AND GUESS WHAT SHE DID TO THE ONE(?) PERSON WHO GOT INTO HER LAB

TESTING

AND THEY DIDN’T EVEN AGREE TO IT BEFORE SHE DID

TESTING ON A NOTHER LIVING BEING WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION THE ONE TIME SHE IS VEIWD IN HER LABORATORY also kind of suspicious she was working on something for yin yang before she even showed any one the lab.. and speaking of tests you know what also seems to be very interesting to be tested on

THE EGG

we have no idea what the egg is,how it got on mars,what its gonna be when it hatches if it hatches which is why it should be tested

this happens on screen btw 

but every time egg is on screen fan is normally with it because he is a good loving dad and in mazed and confused she isn’t really in her right mind

we still don’t have enough info on her and the egg to say anything for certain

but you know another reason i don’t think she’s who she says she is?

THE LIVESTREAM

the thing everyone saw coming in this post at ^this time^ in the inanimate insanity livestream the question is asked “will there be a ‘new taco’ in season two? basically someone who is secretly not who they seem.” adams confused response was “Definitely not in the way taco was” now what did taco do to not be seen as a threat? she acted unintelligent ‘half witted’ in her own words and also made a bond with another contestant who was loyal enough to stick by her side 

now test tube is different yet similar with that she’s definitely not pretending to be half witted quite the opposite in facts flourishes in her vast knowledge and doesn’t hide it but if she is the new taco lets look at some comparisons of how they got the friends to interact with them for the first time 

with taco how she got pickle to side with her balloon was being mean to taco and then pickle stood up for her and then spent the rest of the season smack talking balloon and other things

with test tube she was admiring astrology and fan just..showed up if they both were planning something i don’t think friendship was part of the plan until later

now if test tube is the new taco she definitely fits the bill for not in the way taco was but has the same circumstances on friendship 

and ALL OF THOSE REASONS are the reason i don’t think test tube is who she says she is.

Books, July - August 2019

Jade City - Fonda Lee

Confessions of an Eco-Sinner: Tracking Down the Sources of My Stuff - Fred Pearce [like your alumni magazine’s forays into investigative journalism, only for nearly 300 pages (dnf, and my fault, for insufficiently discriminating browsing in the GE197s)]

Oksana, Behave! - Maria Kuznetsova

13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl - Mona Awad

Scales of Gold - Dorothy Dunnett

Call Them by Their True Names: American Crises (and Essays) - Rebecca Solnit

Vox - Christina Dalcher

Dwelling in Resistance: Living with Alternative Technologies in America - Chelsea Schelly [libertarians! a whole bunch of you are isolationist libertarians! and too many of the rest of you are saying grossly inappropriate things about how your composting toilet really makes you feel Native American spiritual practices; cut that out.]

Elmet - Fiona Mozley

Optic Nerve - Maria Gainza, tr. Thomas Bunstead

“A Problem From Hell”: America and the Age of Genocide - Samantha Power [while recognizing the persuasive techniques at play, I also have to say that if a single book were going to make me into a Bomb Early interventionist, it would be this one]

The Unicorn Hunt - Dorothy Dunnett

The Underground Railroad - Colson Whitehead *

Devoured - Anna Mackmin [somehow exceedingly readable, even though it was clear before and during the first sexual assault - page 42 - that this goes quite a bit past my personal limits for the agonies of puberty and men taking criminal advantage of same. And what is it about the English and the vile fishy aftermaths of dinner parties?]

The Ash Family - Molly Dektar

A Duke in Disguise - Cat Sebastian [I have been reading this for weeks. Will something eventually happen? (dnf - my loan expired when I was 65% of the way through and I don’t care enough to get back in the hold queue)]

The Good Master - Kate Seredy [a farm that’s not completely horrifying; thank god]

The Pyramid Waltz - Barbara Ann Wright (dnf)

Legend in Green Velvet - Elizabeth Peters [ludicrous Gothic, plus bagpipes, hurrah!]

Twenty Days with Julian and Little Bunny: A Diary - Nathaniel Hawthorne [yes, we all hate it when fathers taking care of their children say they’re “babysitting,” but in this case....please enjoy your feminist schadenfreude as N.H. spends three weeks looking after his incessantly loquacious son. Spoiler: Bunny has a hard life and a bad end.]

The Abyss Surrounds Us - Emily Skrutskie

Ivanhoe - Walter Scott [you know what Sir W. S. likes to do? Sir W. S. likes to describe things.]

Frankenstein - Mary Shelley

The Gammage Cup - Carol Kendall

Margaret the First - Danielle Dutton 

A Grave Talent - Laurie R. King

The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot - Robert Macfarlane

On Vinyl: First Hand Tales from a Second Hand Record Shop - Lorenz Peter

The Proposal - Jasmine Guillory

The Singing Tree - Kate Seredy [I just weep my way right on through this one, first chapter to last]

The Affair of the Mysterious Letter - Alexis Hall [queer, quippy Lovecraftian Sherlock Holmes pastiche, if Lovecraft had a sense of humor and eschewed ichor and racism. The opposite of the Wimsey maxim: I knew who quite early on, but I don’t really think you can figure out how; an exceedingly silly book, which I enjoyed much more than I expected to.]

A Memory Called Empire - Arkady Martine

A Little Light Mischief - Cat Sebastian

A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster - Rebecca Solnit [as I read this, I kept thinking that if you squint and look at it sidelong, its thesis is startlingly close to a small-government argument against the social safety net and in favor of independent enterprise (though with the important distinction - and this is where the parallel fails dramatically - that Solnit prioritizes life and human dignity, while a libertarian technocratic agenda would and does prefer property and profit)]

The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics - Olivia Waite [Poughkeepsie.]

Europe’s Lost World: The Rediscovery of Doggerland - Vincent Gaffney, Simon Fitch, and David Smith [we worry that you’ll think the Mesolithic is a bit dull, so here’s an exclamation point: hazelnuts! (truly, though, the maps are awfully cool{!})]
