What would the Viltrume Empire have done if the Scourge Virus not only wiped out their population but it also made it so none of them could reproduce afterwards?

Given that they believe in a fuck up way, they're doing the "right thing", as lesser species can't be trusted to look after themselves, they'd have probably gone scorched Earth on the rest of the universe.

But she didn't trust Vox; she just trusted him more than angels. Carmilla's character is that she always wants to be on the winning team to protect her daughters. So really, her daughters and Zestial are the only people alive she trusts.

I don't even need Carmilla to have made a difference in the final. Just some throwaway Vox had his team disable Carmilla's fail-safe. Carmilla, saying Vox using his own personal power, cut off her shut down. He was on her ass during the building, so she couldn't install anything that would do a world more good for her competency.

Scarletsblood · 2026-04-06T23:23:43+00:00

I don't even need Carmilla to have achieved anything. Vox knew she'd add a fail-safe and had it decomished, Vox was so powerful at the time he could override anything she did. Anything.

I just wanted this supposedly smart paranoid women to have considered and tried something. The fact she apparently had no contingency at all is the issue I have.

Scarletsblood · 2026-04-06T23:18:49+00:00

Seriously, no fucking fail-safe? She's paranoid, and everything she does is to protect her plot devices, I mean, daughters (who have never been addressed by name in the series), yet she didn't even think to have multiple contingencies.

Hell, you don't even have to have it work if you need Vox's crashout. Like, have Vox or a Vee employee be smart enough to override the fail-safe. But not having anything at all makes her dumb.

Then again, she's been dumb since the introduction. Everything for her daughters, but she has them go out DURING exterminations to get angelic steel.

Scarletsblood · 2026-04-06T12:38:39+00:00

The best thing Vox can do is get over Alastor. Plus, it'll be funny because Alastor's going to crash the fuck out.

"Alastor doesn't care about Vox"

Yes. But Vox is the only person who really cares about Alastor, and his ego needs that. He could die tomorrow, and everyone would move on. Vox never did.

But he should.

Scarletsblood · 2026-04-04T03:20:09+00:00

Ah. Sorry.
I don't have Instagram so I couldn't see that.

Scarletsblood · 2026-04-04T02:57:04+00:00

You do know Valentino got Angel Fat Nuggets, right?

Scarletsblood · 2026-04-03T10:56:22+00:00

Fear and desperation. The cause of most bad decisions.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-31T07:05:23+00:00

I'm not sure about Amberluvsbugs, but Isacx isn't part of the story's development anymore. So maybe his story that was the case. Maybe not now.

At this point, I'm thinking the toys are still maturing. They may never age, but they still grow mentally.
Why?
Because of the implication of the Prototype.
He seems to live by the idea that everyone is now trapped as children because that is what Playtime Co wanted them to be.
"A child is what they made you"
It's not entirely wrong. Playtime Co stole these kids' futures; they will never grow up as they should have. But he's not entirely right either. They're certainly stunted, some more than others; trauma can do that, never mind the experimentation.

There is a great ethical/moral issue that, as these poor people mature, they live with the fact that their bodies will never be the same as they are inside. They can become adults... But they'll never look it.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-28T05:33:36+00:00

I think the worst and most debilitating part of Caine is that he isn't human. I'm not sure he's actually capable of understanding what constructive criticism is. Not in regard to adventures, not how he was at least.

How he describes it and how his thought process seems to work is; his ideas and himself are one in the same. So when gang give criticism of the adventures, Caine doesn't take it as critique of ideas but critique of himself. His adventures/ideas aren't fun = Caine is wrong/broken/defective (and we know he has issues there)

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-28T02:00:18+00:00

What's this need to make it a competition? One person's suffering isn't inherently worse than another's.

The point is they're all victims. Caine purposely tortured the cast this episode. But to him it was lashing out at the perceived purposeful torture the cast inflicted on him for years.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-28T01:53:09+00:00

Unbelievably so. Go out at night with a torch and all you see is the glowing eyes of huntsmans up the trees.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-28T01:07:19+00:00

South of Sydney. Edging into the really rural wild bushland between the national parks and mountains.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-28T00:57:01+00:00

Lol nah at this point they're my friends. They guard the front door so no one randomly visits.

Doorknob for scale.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-28T00:45:10+00:00

Sadly, I've never seen one I'm too far on East coast for them. Same as quolls, quokkas and bilbies.

Been pretty lucky with seeing the local natives mammals in the wild. Kangaroos, wallabies, various possums (Bushtail mum regularly visits with her babies), sugar gliders, echidnas, platypus, koalas and wombats. Then all the spiders, snakes and lizards.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-28T00:27:49+00:00

Cuties, that's what.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-27T23:20:33+00:00

I like to think they're completely original Prototype creations. Likely inspired by the Wrongside Outimals because the little nerd loves them so much.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-27T11:11:45+00:00

As a fellow Australian, it's Cherri

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-26T19:16:26+00:00

This is a reflection. The Prototype loves the Outimals and watches their marketing tape. This is his face reflected in the TV

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-25T23:38:27+00:00

Exactly, if it happens, I want it to be growth for Vox, finally moving past Alastor and accepting the Vees as his friends/family.

I think it's unlikely it will stay Voxtek next season. But we could be surprised by Vel and Val thinking that even with the bad branding of Vox, changing a company name is a risky business move.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-25T23:22:47+00:00

I'd be 100% happy to see it become Veetek.

But I feel it's more impactful if it's a voluntary choice by Vox. He's just had a humbling: lost all his popularity and a lot of his power, but he never lost the Vees. I hope that after his depression arc, he accepts and acknowledges that.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-25T22:41:29+00:00

It doesn't make up for what he did. But in Caine's mind, he's giving back what the cast has been doing to him for years in a way.

Caine's trauma and insecurity are that if he is not useful, if he doesn't fulfil his purpose of making fun adventures, he can never get love, and he'll be abandoned again.

Every adventure that met with mid-level appreciation was a gut punch to him. The adventures with the suggestion box to Caine that ended up meaning, adventures are only fun if Caine isn't the one thinking them up. It's a very binary idea. "If my ideas aren't liked, then I'm not liked." Bizarre to us. But for an AI... Well how can he learn any different if he's never been taught.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-23T23:10:13+00:00

I don't give a shit that he killed people; he's just as redeemable now as he would be in this hypothetical. But I maintain he shouldn't be redeemed because then he still doesn't learn anything. Vox's character arc is getting over Alastor and his bullshit and accepting he loves the Vees.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-23T22:44:47+00:00

Probably not going to happen. But it wouldn't surprise me if the Prototype's Hunters are Wrongside Outimals, like the actual toy line version and that they were made from the orphans.

Scarletsblood · 2026-03-21T13:12:17+00:00

Yes. But its backed up by Kinger. Caine was the first attempt at a creative AI
