#object mayhem mailbox

[ehh-is-the-name]

I’m not usually one to hc a character’s sexuality while watching a show, but god damn I just got through Object Mayhem and here’s my take.

THIS MAILBOX IS GAY!!

he’s gay and I’ll die on this hill I don’t care. Calculator’s gay too, I’ve seen it with my third eye. Calbox real. 

My evidence to back up my dumbass claim? Well, glad you asked :)

Ep 10, the first appearance of Mailbox, we get this whole interaction with him and calculator. I know it’s just a gif but you can go look at the ep if you want to hear it. Calculator’s obviously preferring him here, c’mon. He says Mailbox can join and he actually does, it’s not like some one off bit or something. He’s in it for the rest of the show! Plus, there playful banter as complete strangers just screams gay. 

In EP 11, they have even more banter but it’s just so- Idk- Just look at the way they’re looking at each other. Why is Mailbox standing like that??? It has to be to rizz him up. This interaction is badly disguised flirting for all I care. The gif doesn’t bring it across enough, so please listen to the voice acting. 

NOW EP 15 has the parts that really cemented this whole Calbox thing in my head. Calculator’s mail getting shoved in him- the heart coming out of nowhere, not letting the mail go? 🤨 It’s all kinda... But ok maybe I’m reaching. That is until: 

LATER IN THE EP HE’S RIDING SHOTGUN!! Now, idk about you but actively letting him be in the front seat shows favouritism. On top of that, agreeing with his music choice?!? Oh yeah, Calbox is a thing. I’m convinced. 

And if that wasn’t enough, EP 16 has Calculator siding with him again! I don’t care if it’s supposed to be a one off joke, I’m staring 👀

Not only those scenes, but both of them have moments of vulnerability. Calculator with the three to tree monologue and Mailbox with his “I’m lazy because nobody appreciates me” speech later in the ep. There is no way that both of them have one of those on accident. Coincidence doesn’t exist! THEY! ARE! GAY! I rest my case.

Rambling about Plastic Man

Original flavor 40's Plas and his modern counterpart are entirely different characters. Their similarities can be summed up as follows.

Gangster Eel O'Brien is doused in a mystery chemical that allows him to manipulate his body. He can shapeshift into people, objects, and animals. He is limitless in terms of stretching and contorting.

Eel renounces a life of crime to instead fight for good, and dawns an iconic red longsleeved leotard with a deep V-neck. A deep V-neck, it plunges to his navel. The back is also open.

This is where the similarities end.

I'd like to introduce you to 1940's Plastic Man.

Patrick Eel O'Brien debuted in 1941 in Police Comics #1 created by writer and artist Jack Cole. Plas is infamous, wanted in eight states, a thief, and good at what he does. Once he gains superpower a sudden and dramatic shift in ethics occurs.

40's Plas becomes a highly responsible, straight-laced, FBI agent. He's not even a vigilante, he fights crime within the system. "I only drink plain water." is a direct quote from this Plastic Man.

The early issues play around with his dual identities, using Eel to infiltrate gangs so Plastic Man can bring them in. However, this aspect of the character was phased out over time, and before long Plastic Man is no longer an alter ego it's who he is.

Even his mailbox has him listed as Plastic Man.

In my opinion, despite the funny powers and costume, the reader is never met to laugh at Plastic Man in most situations. For some reason, this Plastic Man is easily flustered by women giving him any romantic attention. These instances or few and far between, and overall Plastic Man is not the joke.

The jokes often come from the events and people surrounding Plas.

Some Examples.

. Woozy does something funny by being cowardly, clumsy, stealing something, or causing general mayhem with his antics.

.Fat jokes at Woozy's expense ( Plastic Man is also guilty of this. 40's Plas is kinda a dick to Woozy, especially early on.)

. Visual gags depicting people as absurdly ugly

. Plas pulls a Bugs Bunny by pretending to be a lady

. Slapstick violence

40's Plas is a beloved member of his society, children look up to him, his coworkers respect him, and criminals fear him. Women want him much to his dismay.

Unlike modern Plas. This is where things get interesting. Modern Plas exists in this weird place. It's clear DC likes this character, they keep trying to use him, but they also keep repeating the same story beats with him.

Modern Plas is often written like this.

.Is not respected by the greater hero community

.Is divorced or has run out on the mother of his child

. Has a strained relationship with his son that he wants to fix

.Is constantly turning into visual gags/ tires to be funny much to the annoyance of everyone around him

. It is common knowledge that Eel was a criminal

DC has not gone beyond these story beats in a long time. Here are things that we don't know about this character.

. How did he meet Angel ( I know she was a stripper he used to visit in the 90s era, but given how many reboots there have been, this may not even be canon anymore)

. How did his parents die (he has been an orphan since the 40's we still don't know what happened to them)

. How did he get involved with crime? was his father involved or not? He mentions in the Terrifics of being an "Irish kid in the MOB"

. Does his own son know anything about his criminal past? how does he feel about it? What's it like being a teenager with a father who's a known superhero. What's it like being a teenager who IS a known superhero?

. Is the current Plastic Man still an FBI agent former or active?

The weird space Plastic Man occupies is that DC wants to use him but is not confident enough to give him his own book.

I love Object Mayhem. I watched it as a kid and it was the first show I rewatched when I got back into object shows around 2016. I hope to draw fan art sometime but for now I’ll just say random things cuz it’s one of my fave shows!!!

- I don’t care about the reboots I’m sorry. I DO like that the new characters they added were somewhat pre-existing characters tho.

- I miss when they would do the silly faces with the eyes

- Mailbox and Toast were the GOATs and it’s ASTOUNDING that they were the two most voted and only had a one vote difference. L Object Mayhem Voters.

- My other faves were Jigsaw, Ice Cream, Cupcake, Burrito, Notebook, and of course Gun

- Tune is overrated I’m sorry. I don’t hate him. But the fact that 90% of mentions of the show is Tune is just ridiculous. All he did was have a cool voice 😭 nah cuz I think he was an alright character just not in my faves. Headphones was the one good thing, him mind controlling Tune was cool and the fact that he was just being unnecessarily evil made it funnier, especially when he won the “best behaved on the field trip” challenge.

- Mailbox and Calculator were 100% gay. The bias Calculator had towards Mailbox was INSANE. Also, Mailbox appearing is one of my favorite scenes it’s just so funny. My sister says Calculator just imagined his dream guy and that’s how Mailbox appeared.

- I miss Toast and Ice Cream’s awful friendship. Toast you will always be the best annoying character

- Jiiiigsaaawww. I know why no one liiikes youuu. It’s because you smell like brussel sproutsss

As somebody whose main fandom is webcartoons like Object Mayhem, i have GOT to know : How the hell did they get you to voice Mailbox? hes the only reason I ever watched that show LOL

dude just asked :I

   Continued From

He spun on the ball of his foot, facing the stranger with a sharp glare. His hands stayed in his pockets, curled around what he assumed was some kind of weapon hidden away. He couldn’t remember his own name, but he could determine that this folded object may be a switchblade. Whatever it was, he hoped it would be of use if whoever-it-was had ill intentions.

        “Why are you following me?”

   He felt himself shaking, balling his hands further into fists just out of the stranger’s line of sight. The unfamiliarity of this situation had put him on edge. Even if this person simply wanted to help, he couldn’t risk it. Self-preservation won over automatic trust. For all he knew, he couldn’t afford to trust anyone.

   None of this felt right.

   Nagisa stood with hesitation knowing that Monaca had wanted him to follow 'The Servant' and observe his adaptive personality to such a chaotic atmosphere. For the most part, it seemed he was having a hard time adapting to the mayhem happening with the violent shaking and constant stumbling over things littering the streets.

   Nagisa tried his best to stay unseen, dipping down behind mailboxes, destroyed buildings, and the like--- but--- it didn't seem like that actually helped. He heard a trembling voice call out his direction, for a moment, he stood still wondering it was a fluke, but... seeing as he wasn't moving positions... it seems he was found.

   He moved slowly out of his hiding spot, dusting off his clothing.

         "I wasn't expecting to be seen so early... ha... Monaca will be displeased with me."

10 Things Borderlands 3 Doesn't Tell You

10 Things Borderlands 3 Doesn't Tell You

Last Edited: September 13, 2019 at 1:05 AM

There’s a lot to take in and discover when playing Borderlands 3, and even returning fans may not realize several key elements to the game that aren’t explicitly told to you. We’ve rounded up several noteworthy mechanics and elements to Borderlands 3 that the game doesn’t outright tell you, which you can view below.

Dress for unlocked success.

When you start Borderlands 3, you’ll only be able to swap between two equipped weapons, and will only have access to a grenade and shield – so when does everything else unlock? Over the course of the game you’ll eventually get two more weapon slots, as well as Class Mods and Artifacts to equip as well. Depending on how fast your moving through areas, you may even start finding items you cant even equip yet.

These unlocks are tied to completing story quests, so here’s when you can expect to unlock them.

Your Third Weapon Slot will unlock after leaving Pandora for the first time, completing the Taking Flight and Sanctuary quests at are your 4th and 5th main missions.

Your Class Mod Slot will unlock after helping Rhys out on Promethea and defeating the boss and completing the quest Hostile Takeover, which is your 6th main mission.

Your Fourth Weapon Slot will unlock after completing the first vault mission in the main story, Beneath the Meridian, which is the 10th main mission.

Finally, your Artifact Slot will only unlock after taking on another Vault quest called Cold as the Grave, which is the 16th main mission.

The better question is: If that guy with the level 5 quest is offering level 5 loot, do we even want to help him at level 20?

As you journey across the stars in Borderlands, you’ll find out pretty early on that enemies will stick a certain level range when entering new areas and taking on missions. This means that – for the most part – if you pass on a side mission and go back later, you’ll likely find both the difficulty and rewards well below your level.

Similarly, if you dash on ahead through main missions as fast as you can, you may start encountering enemies well above your own level, and all the loot they drop may also be unavailable to equip until you can catch up, which can really suck!

Because of this, it’s worth your while to stop and smell the flowers – and by that we mean take on side missions, scope out challenges, and generally explore and do whatever you can before moving onto the next area. Certain side missions will appear in areas before or after completing a main mission in that area, so be sure to look around and make sure you don’t miss anything.

However, once you reach certain story beats that may return you to past areas, and when you beat the game, enemies in older zones will sometimes increase in difficulty to a certain point. Beyond this, enabling Mayhem Mode once you beat the game will automatically bring all enemies up to your level no matter the region to increase threat and rewards.

These chests will either have the best loot, or the worst loot depending on when you find them.

With regards to level-locked regions, it’s very important to note that both Red Chests (usually found after bosses or as bonus unlocked areas from side missions) as well as Typhon Dead Drops (crew challenges triangulated from finding recordings) are also locked to the region of that area (unless a region eventually upgrades over the course of the story).

For that reason you should always be exploring and looting chests in every region as you progress – as saving them for later will only lower the value of what’s inside 5 levels later.

However, Mayhem Mode changes this, as it will bring all the chests up to your level along with all other loot and enemies in the region. With Red Chests, you can re-open them each time you quit the game and start anew, while Typhon Dead Drops can only be looted once – so make sure you think hard about when you want to open these. If you miss your chance to get the best loot for your level, come back once you’ve beaten the game to unlock the other dead drops with Mayhem Mode enabled.

Fake it ’til you make it.

Once you start finding Class Mods on Promethea and beyond, you’ll notice that they will grant extra points in each of your three skill trees. The better the quality, the more skill points they’ll add to more skills.

It’s worth noting two things: A Class Mod can further enhance a skill that you’ve already maxed on the skill tree, which means you can boost the rate of damage or cooldowns and such beyond normal levels.

Secondly, even if you haven’t unlocked a skill yet, you don’t need to have a point in a skill for a Class Mod to give you that skills effects! Knowing this, you can essentially look for Class Mods to bolster skills in a tree you aren’t focusing on to give you an edge in multiple areas at once.

Challenge Unlocked – You Found the Challenge Tab

The menus of Borderlands can be…. difficult to navigate at times. Guardian Ranks have their own slot in your ECHO menu, and you can’t even check them out until you beat the game. They also take the place of where Challenges were in Borderlands 2 – but that doesn’t mean they are gone.

You may start noticing as you play that you’ll get notifications that challenges have been met, but they don’t appear to be tracked anywhere. If you look at your map, the Challenges Tab only tracks “Crew Challenges” which are side objectives to uncover in each area.

As it happens, the regular Challenges are hiding deep in the map menu. Hit the Orbit View until you are in the galaxy view of the map, and then click on the Challenges tab. Instead of Crew Challenges, you’ll finally see the Challenges you can unlock for killing certain types of enemies, with different weapons, or looting certain items.

Unlike Borderlands 2, Challenges in this game do not unlock bonus stats. Instead, you’ll get extra Eridium for each challenge met. Rank 1 will award 1 Eridium, Rank 2 will give 2, and so on until the challenge ranks are all met. Be sure to check your Challenges from time to time to unlock more Eridium, and use it to unlock exclusive rewards from Earl aboard the Sanctuary.

These purple rocks can be easy to miss.

As you explore Pandora an other planets, you’ll likely come across purple rocky mounds that look suspicously like Eridium – but hitting them with your melee attacks proves fruitless, at least for now.

It won’t be until much later in the game – you need to complete the 10th Mission: Beneath the Meridian – that you gain the ability to harvest Eridium Ore from the ground wherever you may find it, which can be extremely useful for amassing an Eridium horde. All you need to do once the upgrade is obtained is smash the purple rocks with melee attacks.

Aside from that, your best ways of finding more Eridium are killing (obviously), and taking a spin on the Slot Machines for small Edirium payouts. You can then use the Eridium to either take your chances on the Vault Line Slot Machine, or go see Earl at the bottom of the Sanctuary spaceship to buy special cosmetics and weapons in exchange for the currency.

Respecing your Skill Tree is easy when you’re broke!

Once you’ve gotten at least one skill point, and decide that skill you’ve invested in is complete trash – seek out a Quick Change Station, located at the entrance of most regions and in the Sanctuary Ship.

Here you can not only swap out costumes and skins (as well as renaming both your character and FL4K’s pets), but you can also reset all of your skill points to try building out a new style.

Of course, nothing is free in life – being able to respecialize your skills will cost a portion of your total money currently accumulated. A character with 29 thousand on hand will only have to pay just under 3 thousand to respect, while someone with 159k in their pocket will have to shell out 15k for a respec. It’s a bit like dying – you always have to pay a portion to get what you want.

Please don’t try to mail rocket launchers in real life.

It’s easy to miss, but at certain points in the game, you may get a notification that you’ve received mail. Wait, what? Mailboxes in the game only have ammo in them, so where do you check your personal mail?

Head to the options screen and look for the Social tab among the Options/Play/Quit. It’s here that you can skim through the different areas of the Social Menu to select your Mail, and obtain rewards given out by various NPCs in the game. Different gun manufacturers may give out presents when you’ve killed enough enemies with their weapons, and other characters may reward you with items as well when you achieve certain goals.

It’s important to note that because the Mail is in the Social Tab – it’s not tied to any one character – you’ll be able to accept the gifts on any character you’re playing as, even if they didn’t do all the groundwork to get the gift in the mail.

If you’ve got a list of friends also playing, you can even send weapons you’ve found to them via the mail, in case you scored a really good class mod when playing on your own that your friend might want.

6 million dollars and counting spent on slot machines – but still no row of hearts.

While Legendary Weapons are among the best you can get – they might not be the absolute best.

We haven’t yet found this elusive tier, you may notice that one of the slot machines in Moxxxi’s Bar has a payout for a “red tier” weapon, which is above the payout for the “orange tier” legendary weapon.

It is not yet known if these elusive red-tier weapons appear in the wild, or if they can only be obtained from the Slot Machines (or if the payout is actually a lie and you can’t even get it anyways), but be sure to keep a lookout – and try not to spend all your money gambling!

Though it doesn’t list it – each shot fired from the Peacemonger will split into four explosive rounds that hurtle in different directions.

When you begin recieving quest rewards and finding uncommon or better loot in the world, chances are you’ll notice many of these items will feature red flavor text in the gun’s stats. These range from jokes to quotes to very strange words, but they do have meaning.

Like previous Borderlands games, the Red Text is usually a hint at the hidden nature of a weapon – especially for Legendary Weapons. Sometimes the ability is straightforward – like being able to see bullets explode into smaller pieces or follow a strange trajectory. Other times the abilities may be much harder to decipher – so play around with weapon that feature red text to figure out what features a weapon or item may be hiding.

Have you considered going further into voice acting after voicing mailbox on object mayhem? You have a really good voice for it tbh

haha, not really, that was just a weird thing that happened. I dunno, I feel like I don’t have that capacity to ‘emote’ beyond ‘goofy dude’, no?
