#this is just rambling it doesnt even have a main point

[randomalistic]

hey! i'm concidering writing an autism-fueled video essay about a blorbo , and i think your similar in concept video on that little white man is very well put together ! i was wondering if you had any tips on how to structure or write something like that?.. also if you answered it allready you can just link the post no worries!!

SLAY hold on Ok so I actually havent made a post for script writing... or if i did i forgor. But here's a post for what programs I use and PNGtuber stuff in particular. I'll probably end up making a masterpost at SOME POINT but I am still learning and have made a total of 3 video essays in my life </3

ANYWAYS THIS IS JUST ME RAMBLING FOR MULTIPLE PARAGRAPHS👍

Umm okay so for script writing... It really depends on the scope of the project. If its about a character or topic you have a TON of preconceived knowledge on, just dump every bit of information out from your brain onto a google doc. make multiple docs even. it doesnt matter how messy it gets. Then just start structuring it however you want, like make an outline, explore ideas and how they could flow into eachother, scrap them, keep bits you like, etc. Expect to scrap a LOT of rambling, which is normal. Don't delete anything you write though, just keep it in a separate place just in case you want to revisit any ideas later.

I think the most important guideline for me personally was to structure it in a way that is "slow and steady." Don't explode all the information you have all at once, you kinda just want to trickle-feed it to the audience. The flow of one concept to another is also important, just do bare minimum for the audience to understand, don't distract them with extra info that doesn't connect to your main point for that section.

Basically, think of the YouTube essays that had you really engaged, or that you really enjoyed, study what you REALLY liked about them - What are the main points? how does it portray new information? Think about their structure as a baseline

Now something related ( definitely not a necessity ) but personally one of my FAVORITE things great video essays do is strategically withholding information from the audience right up until that info is relevant, or until it would have the MOST impact. Storytelling mediums do this too

One of my fav example of this is from a video by LasersZ "How Bolt is a critique of Disney" If you want it slightly spoiled, keep reading. Otherwise just watch it first lol

The narrator argues how Penny's character is a struggling child actor, and he lays out all the information for this argument through media analysis / evidence from the movie itself, he gets you invested in her character struggle.. and then he reveals something: That this whole time, Penny is actually voiced by Miley Cyrus - an at the time child actor who was being used by the TV industry in the exact same way they were using Penny in Bolt. This argument just TRANSCENDED the source material. When he could've just mentioned that information offhandedly at the start, he actually USED that information to strengthen his argument and make the video more meaningful and engaging. Even if you aren't making an argument, this sentiment is probably still useful. You really don't have to pull a "twist" in your video to make it fun, but i just like them hehe

Another example is the goddamn MAGNUM OPUS that is DefunctLand's Disney Channel theme song investigation. At the very end, a HUGE piece of information is revealed that makes the whole video absolutely outstanding, and so appreciative of what its trying to do. I'm not even going to SAY it you need to watch it yourself. If you know you KNOW. AAAGHH. You also see this in Summoning Salt speedrunning history videos. It's always like "it seems this was the new world record... UNTIL... (BOOM. NEW SPEEDRUNNER / STRATEGY DISCOVERED AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME)

ok now I'm just rambling about my favorite videos LOL but you know what I mean. It's internet storytelling. If you want to make it more exciting / meaningful / funny, be very select with the information you're delivering. again, a strategic 'bare minimum' for the audience to understand, don't distract them.

Ooh another thing- specifically something I've taken from Patricia Taxxon's DHMIS video : Tell the audience - how did this thing make you FEEL. In an era where lazy content and Ai is everywhere, people want humanity and authenticity more than ANYTHING. So don't be afraid to go a little off script, be unprofessional, be vulnerable, just be yourself! :']

Anyways I think thats the best advice I can offer rn cuz this post has been in my drafts for months and i forgot about it oops. Thank you so much for asking ❤️

Rodimus and making Necessary Sacrifices

The most famous one: blowing up Nyon

Btw Megatron could totally have saved the people in Nyon if he wanted to; he knew about Zeta's plan beforehand. All he needed to do was give Hot Rod and the citizens an evacuation alert. But he didn't because he wanted to give Optimus a good emotional impact with all the deaths and who cares about the common lowlife anyway, all they're good for is getting bodily thrown at Zeta until his weapon overloads from draining too many people.

Kimia station in Chaos Theory:

Red text bubble is Optimus. He doesn't wait for Optimus to agree before directly giving Omega Supreme orders to shoot Kimia down.

Reaction after confirming that Doubledealer is a traitor:

Using Rung as bait for the sparkeater:

The last two panels also gives us something on how he views (his own) authority. Because while he's always held a position of authority in high command, the high command is still a council. On the ship his authority is absolute.

The next three scenarios form a pattern. It always starts with Rodimus telling someone to kill a comrade, the person tasked with the killing goes 'what I don't want to do that', and Rodimus tones down the order from death to wound.

Ordering Rewind and Swerve to shoot at Fort Max:

Ordering Swerve to hurt Ore:

Ordering Cyclonus to shoot Brainstorm:

Each of these scenarios is in response to a critical situation. Rodimus' first orders of 'aim to kill' are, while extreme, not disproportionate to the level of threat presented. They're within reason and authority. And ceding from kill to wound when protested is proof that he doesn't not care. But it also shows that his first instinctual reaction towards threats is to kill first ask questions later, even if the threat used to be his friend, comrade, or compatriot, he's able to weigh the lives on a scale and make that hard decision. He's also the type of person who's very comfortable with taking the fates other people into his own hands and deciding whether they should live or die (which is why him choosing to spare Getaway after retaking the Lost Light is a sign of character growth).

His characterization is fairly consistent throughout the comics, except for this:

Everything in Spotlight Hot Rod goes against his later presentations. In his spotlight he's said to repeatedly beat himself up over one failed mission and is averse to taking responsibility towards other people for fear that he'd get them killed but in later issues he has No Problems doing exactly that. He displays no preferences for 'going solo' aside from the mission to retrieve the matrix and that's because everyone else kicked him out. When he wanted to leave on the Lost Light he made speeches to convince other people to join him despite the fact the Autobots were already outnumbered on Cybertron and taking people away would make their situation worse. Whenever he went anywhere in mtmte he assembled a team to accompany him.

This scene especially contradicts Spotlight Hot Rod in every single way. The only consistent aspect of his character is the recklessness. He forces Optimus to authorize a rescue mission, of which he declares himself the team leader, ignores Optimus' caution about keeping it clandestine and tells everyone to barge through the front door, shuts Ironhide's objections down by pulling rank, then falls into a trap and gets Ironhide killed. Mission failed too obviously, they only got Prowl out. Optimus takes responsibility for the failure and surrenders to the humans, of which Rodimus' response is: "he freaked out because he couldn't hack it" and promptly also proceeds to drop everything and leave because yay there's no one to keep me on this stupid planet anymore and whoever wants to can come with. Where. is the guilt.

That and the whole fiasco with Swindle and Menasor were probably Rodimus' worst moments lol. Overall he's the type of leader good with stressful trolley problems but bad at considering the larger or long-term implications of his actions. His flippancy towards life and death and tendency to solve problems with the bluntest approach bleeds heavily into his leadership decisions and... just how his character is in general. Thank goodness there's only one of Drift and he's gone for most of the Lost Light voyage, Rodimus really doesn't work well with too many yes-men hanging around.

i’m so glad you brought up that bit in excalibur where magneto’s ideal prison is him getting to be a husband and father again, because it’s so relevant to the idea that the house of m reality isn’t actually everyone’s ideal life, but just wanda’s idea of what everyone’s ideal life would be. all the time i see x-fans condemn magneto for house of m because his ideal world is him becoming exactly like his oppressors, but house of m isn’t actually the life magnus wants! any time magnus gets to become a political leader, he hates it. he hated ruling genosha. he hated ruling krakoa. deep down, he doesn’t want to be superior. he just wants to live in peace with the family he lost.

also, shoutout to magda and anya, who never get to be anything other than magneto’s women in refrigerators. i wish they got to be more important than that. i love it every time we see them in comics, but it’s so rare. and shoutout to magda in particular since she’s been almost completely erased from the narrative by the maximoff retcon. really hope we get a reveal that natalya maximoff was magda all along when we inevitably make wanda and pietro magneto’s mutant children again.

i honestly didnt know excalibur was a predecessor to HoM when i heard about both runs so when i saw that set of panels for the first time it really had me reconsider HoM and the 'ideal reality' bit, im surprised i dont see it mentioned more often

i really wish there were more appearances of mags, magda, and anya; if there are stories focused on them i barely see them talked about... ive heard magda is mags' best-written partner from some but i also very rarely see stories that feature her directly named, so i never get to see her beyond the few fleeting instances i just so happen to catch her. id very much like to see more of her and mags' domestic life....

i think if we find out that natalya was magda all along i'll howl: this family really Can get more complicated contrary to popular belief 💀

Where my Eddie meta differs from the popular fanon is I don't think all his problems are because he's gay and I don't think kissing a man would heal him or really benefit him much at all. (He is gay but that's not important right now)

Ludwig lowkey does it like no other

[ragnars-tooth]

One of my big compulsions is taking a fuck ton of screenshots Just In Case a piece of information is important in like 4 years and I can't remember it (sometimes the information is an instagram post that I might not remember later and of course needs to be recorded everywhere (I will Not be looking at that again)) so today is my transfer 16000 images off my phone admin day (woo)

Like yeah I never looked at any of them and they were completely irrelevant to my daily life, But what if I need them ✨️ later ✨️ (you'll see that the idea of Later is doing a lot of heavy lifting here) OR what if there's a vital piece of information in the mix somewhere that I'll lose forever if I delete them? So: onto the external hard drive they go

This is one of those cases where. Yeah. Ideally I wouldn't take 16000 screenshots in half a year. And YEAH ideally I'd just delete them and not transfer them somewhere else to never look at again. BUT at least I get a clean slate and I can maybe not mindlessly save everything for 2 seconds. It's like. Small wins? Progress. Yknow.

Thinking so hard abt Fairy Tail rn

[arolesbianism]

just realized that the World Ending Oopsies started in... bioengineering. which is presumably not where the main reactor is. that would be... where the pod is, which is powered by...

... so! The printing pod caused the fUCKIGN apocalypse huh. Thats. Damn. what the fuck. And that angel of death is just sitting right in the middle of the base huh. olivia is trapped within the shell of humanity's killer.

what the fuck

YESSSSS I can't believe I forgot to bring that up before, and considering that that log is Always obtained by examining the main printing pod (aka Olivia herself) it can be very confidently said that yes, the world probably did indeed end because of her new shell </3

switching my google doc from a cute lil fic to my cover letter hits like a slap in the face

[littlevgvent]

I think one of the main problems with even just the concept of Veilguard is that they wanted anyone to be able to pick it up without playing a DA game before. And everything came crumbling down from there.

Dragon Age as a concept works due to the lore, not despite of it. Whenever I talk about da with people who've never played it. I basically have to start from the begining and explain everything. What are Grey Wardens? Whats the Blight? Mages and Templars? The Chantry? Ect.

Making the 4th game of an ongoing series/story a new starting point for new players was never going to work. Taking out most of the lore and leaving you with whats a generic fantasy game with the DA name on it. But still including enough terms from the previous titles to where they had to add a glossary in it. Which doesnt really get into depth about anything mentioned.

Ive had this thought in my head for a while and hopefully my point came across. Sorry if not, just rambling into the void.

[cheesewhip3]

ok,, rant on my hatred of remmick/reader fics (specifically very obvious white fem reader) and remmick/sammy fics. theres a lot of ramble and is it a good rant? no not really. and theres mild spoilers

stop fucking making remmick/reader fics in a BLACK CENTRED MOVIE OH MY GOD AND I DONT WANNA HEAR SHIT LIKE "oh hes irish he was colonised too!!! we need to take that into consideration!!" IM IRISH AND I KNOW WHEN TO SHUT THE FUCK UP WHEN A FORM OF MEDIA IS ABOUT A MARGINALISED COMMUNITY!!!!! you guys really saw a movie about BLACK PEOPLES CULTURE AND MUSIC AND TOOK THE WHITE GUY AND MADE 90% OF FICS IVE SEEN ON AO3 ABOUT HIM. dont tell me shit about "dont like dont read" im well aware of fandom etiquette and all that but seriously there are PLENTY of male main characters in Sinners, fucks sake we got Michael B Jordan TWICE and you pick the irish guy. you pick THE WHITE MAN IN A MOVIE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE. like surely you can write your reader/canon fics and not make it about Remmick?? wheres the Annie/Smoke fics?? or the Stack/Mary fics?? AND DONT LET ME SEE FUCKING REMMICK/SAMMY I WILL HAVE AN ANEURYSM!!!!!!!! ive fucking done basic maths, and i know irish history and Remmick is around 1200-1300 years old making him have been born around the 7-8th century. christianity was brought to ireland around the 5th century, he was catholic yes and yes he was colonised (1169-1921 ish) but that doesnt mean you can all go "but but hes like the Black people too!!!! 🥺🥺" NO!!! NOT HE IS NOT!! yes he is irish and would have been subjected to discrimination but NOTHING like compared to black people AND he can use the fact hes white like how he did with bert and joan. THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO NOT WRITE FICS THAT ARENT ABOUT THAT BASTARD WHITE MAN PLEASE. if i see any sammy/remmick fics i WILL be making that sneaking white devil deader then he already is. if you went and watched sinners and then went home IGNORED THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE MOVIE and wrote remmick fanfic with a very obviously WHITE character 😭😭😭😭 bro i might have the worst media literacy skills of all time but even i can fucking get the BLATANTLY OBVIOUS THEMES OF RACISM, WHITE PRIVILEGE AND POWER AND HOW HE USES VAMPIRISM AS A WAY TO COLONISE ALREADY COLONISED PEOPLE then there must be no fucking hope left for the people who write the damn remmick fanfics. was that too mean? probably. i just HATE the remmick fanfic in a movie about and for black people. WRITE FANFIC WITH THE PROTAGONISTS PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU ALL!!!!

[o-sunny-day]

I COOKED A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR @forgettable-au STUFF-

Its not done obviously and I might not ever finish it, but wanted to post it here because of the song being suggested on the blog

god ever since listening to that song- I was listening to it on repeat during class (so has become my routine) THIS popped into my head and I needed to get it down

The main idea is Gaster is extremely care free and kinda melancholy. Him calling Papyrus a “carcass” is the most canon thing I can think of I love it 😭

I imagine this first bit is him fairly recently after falling into the void, he traveled way forwards in time to see what the hell this thing that replaced him was like and found himself to be amused and a ✨CATHARSIS✨ for him

Traveling a bit in time through the eye transition, we see him making the tape recording and putting it in the secret compartment cause I SWEAR THAT WAS ALL HIS DOING. this is gonna age horribly

Then him doing his whole Player business. I think the “I deserve forgetting” is the most raw line ive ever heard in my entire life, BUT THIS IS A LIGHT HEARTED AND NOT ANGSTY PMV SO IM IGNORING THAT

He finds he doesnt much care for how he feels, more what he has to do, which is GET THE PLAYER and do whatever he has planned for Deltarune-

The upsetting part is from the players point of view cause WHAT THE HELL MAN ☹️ I JUST MADE THAT

Then we get to my favorite part of him being content in things ending and him being content where he is, happy, even (PLEASEEE DONT LET THIS AGE HORRIBLY LET MY MAN BE HAPPY 😭)

Another time skip through the eye hole! Flowey and Papyrus have made their way down to the lab and wtf are these recordings, it sounds like someone rambling but its impossible to make out any of the words

then for some reason Flowey gets a weird vision and is like “AYO?? PAPYRUS???” and this is where I ran out of ideas-

Im still working on the You And Me PMV im just bad at focusing-

Forgettable AU + Undertale and Deltarune in general consume my every waking thought (this is a cry for help)

ive been cooking so much not just with this AU this- this comic is SPECIAL IDK HOW OR WHY BUT ITS SPECIAL

[waterghostype]

”i’ll give you two options. option a; i take lloyd with me, you do exactly as i say, and i won’t have to do anything you’ll regret. or option b…”

ik comparing ninjago and monkie kid is tired and annoying but harumi and macaque are so similar and as an avid fan of both i have to intervene (more rambling under the cut)

i wouldve LOVED if harumi’s arc in crystalized went the same way as macaque’s arc in s3; both of died and came back to life in very similar situations but harumi’s motivations wouldve been a lot clearer if it was presented like macaque’s

both characters died in a tragic and bad emotional state but were brought back to life to basically be omnipotent power person’s main man. bc of their blinding hatred for the “heroes” and also just bc they didnt want to die they decide to take up the offer and give up their soul (basically) to be brought back to life and destroy the world for their new “master” (idk a better word)

but where it diverges is that the narrative of s3 constantly emphasizes macaque in pain and how at his lowest point he doesnt even care about trying to get his “revenge” anymore, he just wants so desperately to stop being under lbd’s control and stop being in constant pain bc of it.

if harumi’s arc emphasized those things more it wouldve been really good and way more believable for if she would join the ninja in fighting mr overlord. i actually have wayyy more to say for this type of au but to summarize harumi and macaque (sinistershadow duo) FOREVER!!!!

also wouldnt this look have gone hard for harumi in crystalized. like ik she was originally gonna show up in a spider freakazoid thing but monkie kid already took that which is ironic but i mean the crystal stuff being what keeps her body together wouldve gone hard

Idea idea idea, *bounces*

Royalty AU

*fans Law like a proper victorian damsel before he swoons from low iron xd*

So Luffy, a noble that comes from old money who acts down to earth and chill, he is working at the stables when Law sees him

Law who is raised by the likes of Doflamingo, 'the help is inconsequential', still he is polite and curt as he is with anyone. Which catches Luffy's attention. Most royals & nobles treat him like crap when he tends to their animals.

Law is on autopilot. He is there to show his face as a bachelor to high-society but he has no interest in marriage of anyone, especially not when it means giving an heir to the likes of Doflamingo. He stopped getting along with the man when he got old enough to understand the ways of manipulation of the royal courts. They play the smiling game but there is a mutual distaste common to any noble familial relationship.

Still he is there, just so he can keep his place in the family and funding for his studies/clinic. He is also there to see if the lord to be crowned king is as much a threat as he is made out to be, or just a kid playing ruler.

As he spends time in the capital waiting for the main festival and coronation of the next lord. He often comes to the stables to read and be away from it all.

Luffy is there everyday, and makes it a point to talk to anyone who visits. Law being there for hours, means that Luffy more often then not talks at him but doesn't expect any answer in return. He is just ranting about anything that pops into his head.

Law overtime cant focus on his books and listens to Luffy's ramblings that are often out there and more exciting then he has heard come out of anybody's mouth in a long time. Law doesnt like listening to most people, so this is a change.

They spend days like that and sometimes Law asks questions, which just makes Luffy glow because someone is interested in his yapping? Sign him up to stop his work and excitedly tell Law about things like his favorite food or this cool thing he heard about, the biggest things he ever hunted etc

Fastforward to the coronation.

Law knows he is leaving after so he decides to say goodbye to Luffy but he is nowhere to be found. Which puts him in a bad mood all day. He doesnt even try to put on the pretense of flirting with the noble ladies that approach him. He is cold and distant, more then a little rude. He made atleast one of them cry.

The evening drags on and all he wants to do is check the stables one more time. He can see the lights from the castle. Yet being cold is fine but leaving the party will surely get him in hot water, and Doffy might even cut off his funding for a year. Law did not care that he did not have food or a roof over his head but the patients he takes would suffer the most.

So he stays, half paying attention as the new Lord is announced. The candles dim as the center of the dance hall is illuminated. The large curving stairs come into focus as the Lord enters the area.

Law blinks. He can't believe his eyes. The lord is Luffy, the dirrty ragged wild man he has gotten used to all cleaned up with an intricate crown on his brow and a bright smile. Law like anyone heard that he got the throne through war that has wrecked his nation for five years. It was a bloody time that made everyone fear him.

It is almost hard to believe that the happy joyful stable boy Law has grown close to is the bloodthirsty strategist that united his kingdom under one banner and plans to keep going. In that moment Law understands why Doflamingo sent him here and why he was worried.

Luffy can play the royal game better then any of them. If Law believed him to be nothing but a servant this entire time, and now he is a King with all the regal bearing that comes with it.

Luffy singles out Law and asks him to join him on the stage and by his side as an advisor. Law swallows as the attention turns to him.

Law going from a no-name lordling with no real title, to the Sun-Kings most trusted people. He does not go back to Doflamingo after that, as at that point what he hss to lose pales with what he can gain by saying yes to Luffy.

Not to mention saying no to someone like Luffy is political suicide, and even if Doffy chafes at the idea of Law no longer being availible to use as a marriage pawn directly to increase his power, he stays quiet and plots behind the scenes on how to take Luffy's throne using Law.

The intrigue of it all. Plus the drama of Law acting different towards Luffy now that he knows he is King and not a servant, which makes Luffy salty.

They have alot to figure out with plenty of dramatic things like assassination plots, societal stigma over their stations that Luffy doesnt care about, and Law scrambling to keep up with how things are different now and trying to handle Doffy alone so he does not distrub Luffy's quote on quote 'plans'

Law taking his job as advisor very seriously when Luffy just wants to be his friend like they were and maybe something else in time ;3

[numberonetacostan]

First time asking on this blog(at least I think) and its about the British Mexican Food, who couldve guessed?/sarc/silly

Lets cut to the chase, I feel like Feral!Taco would have to be restrained most of the time, especially when she has to get her weekly(?) shots and daily baths(because lets be honest, living in the forest with ROTTEN veggies and beans inside of you for who knows how long would DEFINITELY contract some diseases).

Usually Mic is the one who restrains her, mostly because shes the only one(besides Pickle) whos arm Taco wouldnt willingly bite into(she swore to herself that she wouldnt hurt her again, both physically and mentally). Although she would still try to wiggle her way out of her grasp, because while she trusts Mic, she DOES NOT trust Test Tube(this led to them having to sedate her during her first few shots, just so Test Tube doesnt have to worry about getting her hand bitten off, and even THAT was a struggle).

During bath time however shes way more compliant, in fact, she stays completely still, mostly because shes afraid of accidentally splashing Mic with the bath water. She would still vocalize her displeasure whenever she could(in the shape of small whines and hisses), especially when she has to listen to Soap lecturing her about basic hygiene.

Speaking of hisses, I feel like overtime, after she went non verbal, she would start using animal noises that she hears from the creatures in the woods. Hissing became her way of saying "Do that again and I WILL bite your finger off-". Whenever someone annoys or upsets her, unfortunately, an unlucky Trophy learned that the hard way(he had it coming, he was practically poking the bear with a stick).

On a more fluffier note, she can also purr! Tho she would rather get attacked by a bear than admit it(classic Taco, always hiding her vulnerable side). Nobody knew about this, not even Mic, and they wouldnt find out about this until AFTER Taco gets her first full nights rest in YEARS:

(Fair warning this next paragraph is gonna have some HEAVILY implied TacoMic content)

Just imagine, Mic tucking in a drowsy Taco after FINALLY getting her to sleep, as she was about to leave, something grabs onto her hand, she turns around and is met with Taco snuggling up to her palm. At first she cant help but find it adorable, but then she remembers that she cant stay for long, unless she wants to have worried Soap on her, currently occupied, hands(not sure if in this AU Taco is put into her own room or is rooming with Mic and Soap, but lets just say in this story its the former). As Mic tries to figure out a way to free herself, her gain suddenly picks up a low rumbling sound. At first she thought it was from a nearby heater, but the moment she realizes that it was coming from the feral brit herself, it took almost every fiber in her body to not squeal out loud and subsequently wake up the entire Hotel.

-Arz🔥

(WOW this post got long, I must be in a rambling mood today/silly)

Hi Arz!!!^^ Welcome back, since I've seen you in my notes for a while now, and thank you for sending in your first ask!! How exciting!!!

I'm not sure if they'd totally restrain her, like all the time, but there definitely would be times she has to be stopped from biting or scratching someone. They might just trim her nails at one point, and she would be so angry about it. She would indeed try to bite Test Tube at any sign of a shot, she is not a fan of Test Tube in this because of said shots. She's more hostile every time.

She'd be extra compliant, definitely out of fear of hurting Mic, but also because I'd imagine her vegetables being washed would feel really nice. She fights before she's in the water, but once she's in she reluctantly settles down, yeah?

She can and will hiss and growl, yeah. She has limited ways to express herself without words, and the animals in the forest that have been her main source of interaction with other living things would understand that better than words. She'd probably do it out of habit, honestly. Trophy would fuck around and find out. And by find out I mean get growled and hissed at a lot until Taco snaps and bites him. It takes three people to get her off his arm.

TACO PURR TACO PURR. Honestly? I think they should all be able to purr. Why not? I'm a big fan of Mephone's lack of experience with regular people/objects meaning that his contestants are just slightly off. Some of their features are inhuman. They have abilities normal objects don't. Taco would be very hard to get to purr though, with... everything, so it would be so very special to hear that!! Especially in here where Taco has been deep in survival mode + depression for months.
