Oops I made a bunch of these of my OCs + their LIs. Didn't know I had so many human(ish) pairings with these body types. Names are in the alt text :D Not tagging anyone in this because most of my mutuals have already done it, but feel free to do your own if not! Here's my tag list for future OC memes.

Episode 73 thoughts

Holy crap, I just noticed it's episode 73 part 1. I thought it was an entire episode!

Camera Matriarch POV! Kind of heartbreaking how Speaker Matriarch pushes her away. Everyone grieves in their own ways.

I remember making a post saying that since no-one else saw Plunk's interaction with the Secret Agent, from everyone else's POV Plunk must have kinda spontaneously combusted. Turns out yes, that's how it happened.

It's funny as hell that I made a post earlier wondering how hard it would be for DFB to re-render earlier episodes with a different POV, and that's more-or-less what happened (though I think DFB must have remade those flashback bits from scratch, given the increase in quality).

Interesting that we see the episode 57 flashback (TV Matriarch rescues a near-death Plunk) from the original POV cam's view. Camera Matriarch was present, so the flashback should have been from a bit higher up and a different angle. Maybe it would have been too fiddly for DFB to set up, I don't know.

Nice to see high-res old TCam! DFB, please give him his earsies back!

In one of the flashback scenes, we see a large cam loading some dead toilets into a van. What are they going to do with those?

Then... There's humance?? I think the one on the far right side is Secret Agent. He appears to be called Dave. (Maybe his full name is David Phoque-Boum, ehehehe.)

"Proceed with phase one, opening the gate." Are they doing a Half-Life?! Did they just open a portal to the toilet dimension?? Is this going to turn out like Portal? Did some humans get their brains digitised and loaded into robots like Caroline into GlaDOS?

Camera Matriarch's tablet says "Cameraman 69", hehe. I don't know if it's just for Funy Number or if we need to go back and check episode 69 for something.

The buzzsaw quadruped toilet's screams are harrowing, Jesus Christ!

I like that we see Camera Matriarch flick the double middle fingers, and that she took Plunk's plungers with her. Love how she helps up the medic cam too.

We get to see Camera Matriarch's VATS mode in first person, neato!

Well, that's messed up - we see a big mutant toilet, which I thought were made from the harvested bodies of large hardware units, but this one has skin. Have the skibidis started cultivating their own flesh bodies in vats or something?

Super funny detail: the Scientist Toilet rig laughs evilly. TV Matriarch is piloting it, but that's not her voice. There must be a button on dashboard for 'laugh evilly'. >:D

We hear TV Matriarch make a squeaky sound - is that her voice? I'll have to try reversing it (maybe pitch-shifting it down) to check if it's words.

There are at least four of those weird shipping containers! What's in those?

G-Toilet looks genuinely shocked. It's probably a huge demoraliser to see the face of your loyalest subordinate attacking you while laughing mockingly. Is this also the first time G-Toilet realised Scientist Toilet was dead? Did he momentarily think Scientist Toilet had betrayed him? He looks haunted.

Did TV Matriarch manage to teleport away the entire Scientist rig or just herself?

I like how TSpeaker spins their cannons like a gunslinger!

Cliffhanger! Will Humungus Astro return to fuck shit up??
