Marmaliser Element Functions
Everything I know about the Marmaliser elements, written in my own words.
Based on official canon, with some educated speculation.
Results will vary subject to subject. All elements have been positioned to be of benefit to the other elements and aid in the Marmalisation process.
Stage 1: The Inoculator. Joy serum is injected into the subject. The desired effect here is simply a “jab of happiness” - a feeling of euphoria. This calms the subject down so the process can be initiated correctly.
Stage 2: The Tickler. Aims to tickle the subject until they can’t resist smiling. Effects may vary subject to subject - some subjects will be naturally resistant to tickling. Works best in conjunction with Joy serum, hence its placement.
Stage 3: The Flasher. Flashes rapidly with the aim to disorientate and confuse the subject. This makes it harder for them to resist the other elements. The effect will also produce temporary blindness and make it almost impossible for the subject to judge when the Giggler will be used, so they cannot judge when to hold their breath.
Stage 4: The Giggler. Aims to make the subject laugh through the use of laughing gas and induce even more of a euphoric feeling.
Stage 5: The Hypnotiser. Disorientates, mesmerises, and disrupts self awareness. Placed last, so the subject will be too high and disorientated to resist or have the sense to look away.
