I think the real reason the toy store is struggling is because Martin 😠 keeps wasting time and money on makeing big and expensive toys (like the castle dollhouse) instead of smaller more popular toys for a quicksale.

New Fernando outfit dropped !! He looks like a s'more....

[time-wondroustime]

one thing I haven't seen anyone say about watcher yet, but has really disappointed me, is that only three months ago they mentioned in the truth about filming ghost files video that they had to let go of 5 (if I'm remembering the number properly) employees. and when I watched that video I was disappointed that hey hadn't planned the business properly to avoid things like that, but they are primarily creatives, so I figured there would be some business mistakes made along the way. but then hearing they just hired the 2 worth it guys and are reviving an expensive show... I feel like they could've prevented the lay offs better

S4 WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD AND WEIRD

I love the fourth season. It does so many things right. But also. …it's kinda a mess.

Like a very pretty mess. But a mess. And I could write a wholeass essay on it. Don't feel like it right now.

I will say this one thing now though: it has always confused me how of all the seasons, S2 is the one that really explores being a kid in an apocalypse without really an adults to guide said kid, and not…S4?

Sure, there's adults in S2, but Clementine is stuck in this weird grey zone where she can't really rely on them, and has to be her own adult. And this does include Kenny, depending on what people choose to do, and what they interpret. Because he was easily just as bad given the specific scenes. Better, given other scenes, but the bad was…really bad.

But then there's S4. And like, yeah sure, the schoolkids are there to represent a healthy but struggling community—in that there's things to work through, but they genuinely care for each other, and they do whatever it takes to survive, regardless of what they think a "liability" is.

But like. The season never really explored the extent of what being abandoned by adults really would imply??

Like why is S2 the only one where exploring substances as a kid is a thing? Clementine can smoke and drink there, and that's with adult influence. Whereas with S4, nothing. Even though the fishing shack looks like it's a hotspot for booze.

I dunno if I'm making sense. This is why I generally write essays and not splurge on a post. Lol. But. I just. I just wish S4 really explored what the adults leaving did to those kids, man. Beyond what the season did.

S4 in this regard just felt like they knew what being a troubled kid implied, but they actually never wanted to depict kids doing more adult things, other than survival, even though Clementine 1) could've smoked and drank before because…the adults around her were…hmph, and 2) she is literally raising a child on her own. Like it beats around the bush but in a weird and obscure way that I don't have the energy to pick apart.

I just.

Drop some more parallel cannon agnst please🙏

How they found out Parallel Canon was a copy of Agent 4 (warning long and open-ended):

(Note, this is slightly more specific to my version of the agents. Namely, that a couple of them use sign language instead of talking at least some of the time.)

For context, with all the palettes safely reconfigured, Marina, the Octarian engineers, and even their new ally Smollusk were working together to undo the damage Order did to the spire.

Smollusk was the first to realize what Parallel Canon was. It knew that, as Order, it used Agent 4's palette as a base for Parallel Canon, copying the data over directly (imperfectly, but surely it was close enough to be the Order Defense Force). Parallel Canon itself was then copied into further soldiers.

After disabling the aggression algorithms in all the Jelletons, it noticed the Parallel Canons didn't become inactive like the others. Instead, the Parallel Canons became... panicked? They were acting in ways that seemed irrational to Smollusk.

It was digging through their code that made Smollusk realize what was up. The file size of each Parallel Canon was massive, comparable only to the other sentient AIs like Smollusk and Cipher.

While Smollusk didn't understand the full ramifications of what it had done, it did know it was probably bad. It had the mind of a child, and it knew Marina was still upset about some of the other stuff it did as Order, so it did what seemed most logical to it:

It locked the Parallel Canons to the Intensifying Harmony floor and tried to hide that floor away.

Marina noticed what seemed to be a coding bloat in the Intensifying Harmony floor. The data seemed to be concentrated in the boss Order had kept there. Was a basic turfling enemy really so hard for it to make? Smollusk insisted it would take care of it, and that she and the other engineers should focus on restoring the other floors instead.

But weeks went by, and there were no changes to Intensifying Harmony. Eventually, she went to check it out herself. (I imagine, for the sake of narrative, it is easier to program an area in the Memverse by "physically" being there. Like how she had to be on the top floor to reconfigure palettes.)

Marina arrived to find the Parallel Canons "zoning out" for lack of a better term. Some lied on the floor. Some sat around. Oddly, a couple seemed to be interacting with each other, as though they were conversing.

When she went to get a closer look, she suddenly had all of their attention. They all started running towards her. She got out of there before they got close.

Now, she was worried. Smollusk insisted it would handle it when she brought it up. She started to think Smollusk might still be trying to create its world of order.

When she went back, she brought some help to protect her. Most notable being Eight. She still hadn't gotten around to offering Agent 4 the head of security role, and if this was in anyway an attempt for Smollusk to regain power, it was safer to have Eight leading the charge.

When the group arrived, they once again got the attention of the Parallel Canons. Pearl was ready to start blasting them, but Eight was the one to point out they weren't attacking. They didn't even have their weapons. They mostly emitted distorted noises and made... hand motions?

Eight started to recognize it as Inkling Sign Language. She didn't use it much herself, but she learned some of it because her roommate, Agent 4, would use it a lot. The Captain used it, too, sometimes. She wasn't fluent, but she knew enough of the basics.

She was concerned when she picked out things like "Please," and "Help me," and even "I want to go home."

Her first thought was, if this really had to do with Smollusk recreating Order, were these people Smollusk trapped in the Memverse? But that couldn't be. It couldn't bring anyone into the Memverse anymore after its first defeat. The Parallel Canons had been in the Memverse since Eight first climbed the tower, and everyone Order initially pulled in was freed, too.

"Yo, Eight," Pearl started to ask as she noticed Eight's facial expression, "what's up?"

Eight ignored Pearl's question, and asked one of her own. "Who are you?"

She was answered by the Parallel Canon with a mask rather than a helmet. One with a tentacle style that, while familiar, she hadn't questioned before because lots of squids styled their hair that way.

"Eight," the masked Parallel Canon signed, "it's me, [Agent 4]."

--

A couple notes: I tried to draw Parallel Canon signing the word "me" in American Sign Language, but since I don't know sign language, I used a picture from the internet as reference. Apologies if it came out wrong.

Also, where "Agent 4" is said in brackets, Agent 4 would say her actual name, but since I (currently) try not to use headcanon names in my works, I just put her universal name.

Also, this started as a sort of summary of more angst, but evolved into a short ficlet at the end, haha.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed! I don't normally receive asks, so this was fun!
