#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

It might actually be! I remember there was a tweet posted that apparently displayed the wtp ad danyon made. I was only able to see a text only version of it through Google at the time and as far as I could tell it was a video of the strobe they had under their control. The tweet was deleted shortly after. Not many people got to actually see it as far as I know and I have no idea if there even was a video uploaded

ngl would the wtp ad thingy that was deleted be considered lost media ?? or was it even made at all??

mmm

What is your favourite headcanon for TheSunVanished? Also if you could add anything to it, what would you add?

I thought long and hard on how to answer this and honestly? I cant really think on anything to add to the story that has been presented so far. I do have some ideas for stuff that could be added in the future (remainder of season 3)

Nat getting a remember album, but instead of pushing her to make some big sacrifice it pushes her to become her own person and to move away from following in tucker and tsv's footsteps. The album dissappears when she follows them too closely, and a new photo is added when she does something truly unique to herself and makes her own decisions

Danyon appearing one final time in the story to put an end to his tale. I'm thinking him and nat get stuck together in some house for a few days while a ship flies over and nat ends up interviewing him because she notices he's acting a bit different than last time (air of defeat around him). Danyon is an asshole the whole time, but gets really mad when talking about tsv's death, eventually telling her to fuck off and stops the interview. The warm spot is colder by the next day and danyon is already gone when she wakes up. He never shows up again. The clip would show that danyon sucks but he did still care a little bit about tsv, mostly out of guilt for how he treated him. He would have never changed his behavior, though. Tsv made him feel powerful, and beyond that aspect danyon cared very little.

Lucid reveals to nat that theseus was the son of two lucid members who died going to the fake coordinates nat sent them. "You killed his family nat. This is all your fault." That kind of psychological manipulation is right up lucid's alley and i really think it'd break nat too. Really get the plot going there

Another idea is that I would change how tsv died. I would have him annouce that he was dying via the doctor's results and then have him spend more time with tucker and nat. They play games and hang out when they have time. More posts like the dancing video basically. You even get to see tsv's mental state improve a little bit and he ACTUALLY starts to move on from danyon. Then as he further deteriorates (coughing up blood, weak, ect) he makes his difference and blows up. Idk i just feel like it all went so fast and having tsv live just a month or two longer would have made it more meaningful

As for my favorite headcanon? Honestly probably my headcanon that a group of strobes is called a rave. I think it's fun

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