#red strobe

Something interesting I just realized is that the strobes give you cataracts...like the harvested are shown and described as having cloudy eyes which means they have cataracts. This also means they're basically blind too. I know we're not supposed to question how the strobes work but like I'm gonna think about it anyway

[crimson-iden]

I have a theory about strobes. Granted, some of it might be a stretch, but I have a few ideas at least.

I think strobes may have a form of blindness or some form of lack of vision built into their biology. They’re definitely alien, we know that, but I’d like to take into consideration the idea that where they came from may be a place with very low to no light levels, considering that strobes are sensitive to light, that being one issue I’m thinking about. A lot of creatures, say bats and some spiders, may come from areas with very low light levels, like caves, and it’s found that animals that live in environments like that tend to have difficulties seeing or have sensitive vision. This would make sense as applying to strobes too, given that they seem better off in the dark.

Some animals that live in naturally dark environments and tend to have forms of blindness also use echolocation, the use of sound to locate their surroundings. I think this could apply to the clicking sound that strobes produce when their strobe lights flicker. Think about that quote, “They see motion”, this would make sense with a creature using echolocation, as its surroundings would seem static, but the moment something moves, they’d be able to tell in some shape or form. By remaining still, you could likely avoid a strobe becoming alert.

So what about their camera lens-like eye and their lights? I’d like to go back and look at a tweet that Tucker made when he was attacked by a pair of strobes, he claimed that as he looked back at them, there was some kind of cylinder protruding from its head. I’ll come back to this. Also consider that strobes are described as kinda organic but kinda metal, cyborgs likely. I believe their singular eyes are actually cameras built into their heads, producing a constant feed that I think would stream back to the ships, which tend to be present in the same areas as strobes, this may be due to the limited range of their transmission, not to mention the fact that they likely do better in warm environments.

So how do they transmit the stream? By the cylinder, I believe it could be an antenna, some kind of dish built into the head that send the signal to the ships, and receives commands, I don’t think the ships harbour a pilot, more that they are ‘alive’ in their own sense, like a ships computer in sci-fi having the majority of control over the whole thing.

I think the lights that strobes produce are to illuminate the stream, that way the ship’s computer can understand. I personally picture the computer of the ship like the eyes of a fly, every separate section of it is the different streams of strobes in the area, I think it would also make sense, given that the ship can somehow tell where the body of a strobe is after it dies, considering that they apparently retrieve the corpse. That would especially make sense for a constant feed, so when a strobe dies it kinda immediately starts to send an alert signal that the ships can act upon.

Obviously there are issues with my theory, namely, why are strobes so sensitive to light if they can’t see it? How can they see light? Honestly, I have no idea, maybe it’s that the strobes themselves aren’t affected, but the light messes with the camera and causes a reaction by the ship, maybe some kind of stress that messes with a strobes brain and causes the reaction, which I guess would make sense since I imagine having a camera stuffed in your face would mean you have wires near your brain.

At the end of the day, it’s only a theory, and I’m sure it can be debunked and questioned, this is just how I’ve personally been processing the “biology” of strobes

ASR Caramelldansen animation, I learned frame by frame for this and so worth it lmao enjoy (THIS HAS STROBE LIGHTS)

THE REMEMBER ALBUM!!! we still don't know much about it!!! What will happen to it now that tsv is gone?? Will it transfer to nat or tucker or is it just gone permanently?

Does danyon know about what happened to tsv (if he is actually 100% dead)? How will he react? Will he be upset or will he just be like "oh good riddance"

AND TSV'S REAL NAME!!! I WANNA KNOW WHAT IT IS!!

That's all I can really think of for now and I hope they get answered in season 3

things that we still need answered before TSV ends:

- obv, TSVs fate

- WTPs fate as a whole tbh

- everything about danyon, including: who was following him that made him need to leave TSV? what killed him if it wasnt WTP [which i personally think it is]? what happened to him, did he like, die? did he release the one strobe?

- id like to know more about who took the gang in

feel free to add my mind is blanking

Hello, dear Astronaut.

Even if it might not be possible, I'd like to meet you even in a dream.

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

So, I was watching some video about ocean critters and there was this part about cuttlefish and how they change how they look like. Even in their sleep, they change color kind of reacting to their dreams.

Somehow I thought of your Nightlight!Sally and my braincells decided to try and connect the two dots. Does Sally have different colors she can change other into than sleepy=blue and awake=yellow?

goddddd that would be So Fucking Neat but unfortunately that'd conflict with Things yk yk... Nightlight!Sally's glow does Fluctuate with her emotions though!

This was supposed to be finished during pride month but I may or may not have forgotten about it for like 3 months...but it's done now!!

I wonder what would happen if you put a strobe in one of those funhouse mirror rooms
