what if x was actually a surreal quaternion mod 4
day 4: mathematics
it’s dark, silent and lonely and i hate all of those things
thanks tv for removing all of those things from my life
the feeling of waking up at 5am as a kid and you are all alone and can do whatever you want is a feeling that i will forever cherish
idfk what im doing. thank u @fansblogs for helping with some dialogue editing

Suitcase: Fan?
Fan: Oh- H-Hey Suitcase!
Fan: So- how's it feel to be the season 2 winner, huh?
Suitcase: Heh, it feels… strange- yet… nice. But- are you alright?
Fan: Oh, I'm fine… all fine… except the fact that I'm- y'know, not real! Hah… I just… can't help thinking- was I just made to like the show? How am I even supposed to process that! I'm not sure how I didn't even notice- and I was… well- made to pay attention to the show… or so I thought.
Fan: Just- just look! Ha-ha, oh- an actual fan is ALSO a fan of the show! I mean- my- my first appearance was…. just a little gag. From how they(the viewers) viewed us- to what everyone else was made for- I had been right- we all were just some characters! Just… scripted, and, well- fake. But- but with this whole… "what's real" question, uh… you… did put on a very good speech.
Fan: I dunno. I just- well. I tried to keep the show from being practically- uh… everything? But, I still…
Suitcase: It's... still very important to you. I get that.
Fan: I- ...yeah.
Fan: Even if I know there's more... I'm still kind of- well... I'm still the biggest fan, right? Like- go ask Marshmallow and she's completely cutting ties with it! But- I can't give up the show like that. Would that be fake? To keep that purpose...?
Suitcase: Well... you've put a lot of time and effort into the show, and you still do.
Fan: O-Of course I do! I just- I don't know if that's just... some reflection of MePhone- a-and, y'know, as the #1 fan, that should be a dream come true, right? But- it's kind of... taking away any individuality to the point where I'm- I'm apparently just-
Fan: ...Something to be projected onto- like the egg... gosh, that's really making it hurt.
Suitcase: Even then- you've still built around that. You're more than that.
Fan: I- I know! But- MePhone left to- who knows where! Inanimate Insanity finally ended- and how am I supposed to deal with that?! If- If I was initially made to love the show- and- and there's no chance of continuation- then what do I do now?! I- I can't just- well, just... just...
Suitcase: I'm... sorry, Fan, but- you have to accept that the show... is over, and... that really isn't all you are... you know that.
Fan: I... I guess.
Test Tube: Fan! I need your help!
Fan: Oh- c-coming, Test Tube! See you, Suitcase!
Suitcase: Bye... Fan.
I like them. also trying out this newfangled lineless art thing

Well, the whole question got me thinking, someone with a mild interest in the general sciences and I thought, why not let them be another elementary particle?
Now, it is kind of clear that with the whole "RGB" thing the subatomic particle physics of the entire objectified universe is probably very very different, but with how similar a lot of things are I assume that atoms and chemicals are relatively unchanged.
So, souls could be disturbances in yet another particle field! It makes sense how they could then interact with the world and move from A to B and be influenced by other living beings.
Of course, you can very easily come up with some metaphysical explanation, but I'm not really into that, so here I am.
I call the field that contains the soul the etherfield. And the particles that inhabit this field are the etherons. Which then could in turn create antietherons, which could be fun: beings with anti-souls...
Anyways, I'm getting off-track.
What if you could use these etherons in biological processes? Maybe this is how soul-consuming beings make their energy? I think it'd be cool if they were effected by electric charges.
Maybe you could have them boxed in little molecules for transport. It'd be kind of interesting. Here's an approximate idea of what one might look like? Treating them like electrons, a heavily fluorinated cubane structure could work. An interesting consequence of this is that fluorine would be promoted to an essential element for soul-consuming species (eating toothpaste for sustinence, anyone?).
With the right properties given to an etheron, perhaps it could be more efficient than oxidative phosphorylation?
Again, this is just a very general idea, the molecules in use and the exact methods would probably end up very different. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
some suitcase doodles!! and a few experimental sketches on how i might wanna draw her as a human!
i put her in a trench coat because i feel like it's fitting for her, since you can fit a lot in a trench coat in the same way you can fit a lot in a suitcase (she tends to put stuff inside herself in the show and that translates well when putting her in a trench coat hehe)
