#abstraction

All good things take time.

A "What-if" scenario on if the abstracted characters could "De-Abstract". I personally like the idea of abstraction being more permanent as it gives it a sense of finality, but I can't help but admit that the idea of De-Abstraction is a comforting thought, lol. Of course, I believe it also wouldn't be without consequences.

The idea for abstraction scars having a sort of 'crystal-like' appearance came from the animiniz in the Glitch store. Not sure I'll get any of them, but I love how they look.

Some head canons I like for de-abstraction:

They are more sensitive to light or bright areas, and maybe prefer the dark like abstractions. Maybe after too much time in the light they become overwhelmed. Caine made them a 'quiet' room to help them settle.

Maybe Caine makes them special sunglasses to better deal with light.

When they're agitated, their scars flare up and spike.

Maybe they're even more susceptible to re-abstracting when isolated for too long.

They're almost chronically tired.

"I made a program that creates a body perfectly encapsulating their mind files, and they hate those, too!"

So, if I understand, the shape and appearance of the Avatars is due to a program that reflects the User's mind state. Normally, this program would run during the Avatar's creation and be turned off after it. BUT!!!! What if the Program is constantly running in the background and it never turns off????

If the "mind files" start to deteriorate or diverge from the original files. Let's say.... Having a complete mental breakdown???

I would assume the program would interpret that mental state as something quite... Abstract????

I've been cooking up this thing since friday...my wrist hurts so bad...

Building on top of the idea of his left eye abstracting I was like "Hey... what if he became some sort of hybrid later on that's still sapient but also lowkey a huge cat with the biggest protective instinct ever". Adding some monsterfuckery into my favorite queerplatonic ship YEEHAWW

This motherfucker comes with everything a huge ass cat needs, can't speak in that form but can make various noises, similar to what Kaufmo sounded in the pilot - but he can also imitate noises, such as echoes, cries and purring.
