(Warning: Strong Language) New Lore regarding INNOVA and Malachor.

So it seems that there's more to INNOVA than meets the eye. Apparently, INNOVA is a Biotech company that made Malachor for purposes other than creating Toons such as agriculture, the production of artificial organs and even human reproduction. It seems that tragedy befell upon the company when a deadly explosion occurred.

Interesting lore regarding TOONS, INNOVA and MAM.

So this is interesting...

The emails left behind by the former employees of INNOVA have some very interesting pieces of information.

  1. It seems that the world that Toonsuniverse resides in is suffering from major environmental destruction caused by human activity. Though it seems to be way worse than our current environmental destruction, as its implied that the human population is in a steady decline. Worse still, there are food shortages and a disease caused by microplastics called MAM or Microplastic-induced-meningitis. So INNOVA is aiming to solve this by creating malachor or growth factor M. Which did indeed increased food production in the surrounding fields (however, it ended up creating excessive food waste in the process).
  2. Malachor is benign to humans, meaning there are no detrimental effects to touching it.
  3. Malachor's function is to grow a toon's body, and it is produced and regulated by a special organ that only Toons have: The Secretome. So with that in mind, it seems that if this secretome is damaged somehow, or the Toons are exposed to excess Malachor, it results in Toons mutating and growing into the infected monsters we see around the floors.
  4. It seems like these Toons are raised like family members, as evident by one of scientists raising Phantasia.
  5. This maybe a red herring, but does anyone find it weird that one of the scientist's last name, Ricardo Rossi, sounds similar to "Rossum"???

Here goes nothing...

It's time for me to end this battle of light and conflict (and sacrificing Tairitsu TwT).

FINALLY!!! I HAVE REACHED THE FINAL REQUIREMENT NEEDED TO UNLOCK TESTIFY...by accident?!

For context: I was playing Telepathy for the first time and got a score of 9,858,750 (EX) with Hikari. FOR SOME REASON, I MANAGED TO GET A PLAY RATING ABOVE MY CURRENT POTENTIAL (10.97) DESPITE IT BEING AN FTR 9. LIKE HOW?! I thought I have to get an EX on an FTR 10?

I almost considered to intentionally lower my potential by getting as many Track Losts on high difficulty songs. That way I can get my potential to be lower than a playing rating from getting an EX on FTR 8-9 songs. Can anyone explain to me why it happened?

Also Telepathy is a really fun song.

What do you think of my starter house? Just got back to Minecraft after leaving for over 5 years.

The design is based on this YouTube tutorial (https://youtu.be/xse5m\_Y0UgY?si=-zFQ3mznRutpb8M-). I just came back to Minecraft a few weeks ago during the end of my college semester. I haven’t played in years, so I would love to hear your opinion on my current builds. My base is embarrassingly noobish, but I love it. Its just a simple house with a small farm and a well, with a cobblestone wall surrounding a garden full of trees and flowers. There a couple of beehives nearby, a well, a mine and a cobblestone generator, and 2 animal pens.

The conversation between Astro and Sprout is quite interesting. The video essentially shows that the Toons have doubts regarding their own identity. They have memories of the episodes they supposedly "experience", such as the times they hangout, spend time and etc. Yet, from this dialogue, we can see that Cosmo doesn’t exist yet - physically speaking. Sprout talks about how he "feels" that Cosmo is his counterpart and his best friend, and that he remembers that events of each episode. But Cosmo's not here. Delilah hasn't created him yet. This leads to Sprout doubting his own existence, whether events in the episodes are real, genuine moments. Astro tries to comfort him, saying that they are real, but the elipses in his dialogue make it seem that he also has doubts.

It seems like all of the toons have their memories, personalities and interests pre-programmed into their minds, which are all based on the show's episodes. The memories all seem real, but this video proves that they're fake moments planted in their heads. The toons never experience the things in the episodes but they are made to think they are real.

I would love to hear your thoughts regarding the creation of Toons and how memories work in them.
