boi about to get put in jail celll

how do you draw a fishing rod-

Live stream happened, and we got some designs revealed! As well as a couple of information, but not anything major.

Miss conductor, not much of a surprise (but miss girl looks gorgeous as always)

And Node, who is sort of the main antagonist.

I made a prediction before, and April 21 hit,.. so I believe it is well due for an update by now.

While we did not receive nearly as much information as we were anticipating, a design still reveals much on the character itself when going through the lens of a general analysis. In this context, their abilities and name aid significantly in the status and essential depths of their character.

With what I can gather in my research, nodes play an important role in networking because they are the building blocks of a network, precisely the gateway for connection, direction, sending, creating, receiving, and storing data. It requires only software to connect to the network, and it can be run by completely anyone. Applying this knowledge with concept arts of the game and overall worldbuilding of the series itself—everything becomes a lot clearer.

So now, how can we apply this to Node?

Node's name is simple in itself, and it connects to their design as well. They are quite literally made up of nodes. One in their head and the other in their limbs. Their body is translucent.

Network nodes are categorical. Thanks to DJ, we got a helpful hint that incredibly reduced their types to a digestible and simpler layout.

Their name starts with i.

There are countless forms and types of nodes, the hint condensed it down to 2 answers, both starting with the letter “i”

Intermediate nodes

These include devices like routers and switches that help direct data to the correct destination while also receiving it. They don't originate or terminate data but instead pass it along to where it needs to go.

IoT nodes

loT (Internet of Things) Nodes serve as devices that establish connectivity to the Internet via a gateway, effectively enabling the integration of the physical world into the vast realm of the Internet. Within an loT ecosystem, these nodes function as crucial components for bridging the gap between the physical and virtual worlds. Taking charge of managing the entire loT system.

We had seen this ability before vía King's icons' staff, in which it only sucked in Minecraft mobs due to the strong force being their obligatory origin, overriding the game itself due to the overlapping icons.

In regards to King, he used this ability for the very destruction of the game itself, down to the code, reducing it to nothing but.. nothing for the sake of vengeance. Or at least what would have occurred if he did succeed.

way to go CG! Give credit where it's due

Despite this being marked with the intention of erasion and minimization, I think it's safe to group this as receiving and storing data. The two icons combined created a horrifically dramatized version of the force with storing and receiving, which created an incredibly overpowered demolishing force.

In Chosen, we had seen this ability before as well, as the constellations are seen right as he creates the gateway from the Outernet, which sounds awfully familiar. This is what you would refer to as an "extension to the digital world"

I think I can be able to safely group this to direction and creation.

From how I see it, it seems as though it's quite diverse in a fictional worldbuilding sense within characters.

And obviously, it won't be the last time we would see it. It seems as though we would be exploring this quite a lot.

In their cameo, Node is in an assumed line-up with all the major series antagonists.

But if you’re asking me, it seems as though our iconic antagonists appear to be rather victims of Node. Menacingly behind them, their abilities floating not far behind as they're stuck in a swampy substance. But that's just me.

Node's entire antagonistic ordeal is beyond my grasp, but I'm assuming their abilities and attacks surrounds the embodiment of network topology, which would mold and diverse into the connections of nodes. They possibly intend to screw up with the gateways that are responsible for the receiving, directing, and sending of data between various devices through communication links that are defined as network—with the basic visuals of concept art we were given.

(The gateway, ethernet tunnels, the train cough cough)

Node's goal and story behind that destruction remains anonymous, as the writing is still in early development. Regardless, food for thought.

do NOTTTT get me started lad you have NO IDEA HOW SCREWED THEY ALL ARE @stickyuri

Is this anything

bought some new pens here's chosen

It's very sweet to note that Purple (naturally) takes a lot after his mom and is generally more closer to her in terms of his traits/mannerism. He's a little feminine so this compliments the theory!

You know I thought my idea was a stretch and to not be literal because of the simplicity of his design, but he definitely takes after her appearence too. Fanartists human designs I need you besties to do your magic.

Pink's/Orchid's kinda official color (or at least the closest we'll have)

People, I made a very big discovery. Do you know how in Note Block Universe when they tells us about Purple's mother, all of it is shown in musical notes? This have lead to incorrect or innacurate predictions of what the true color of Orchid is. BUT I THINK I ACTUALLY FOUND IT, FROM AN ACTUAL AB'S TEAM MEMBER (second image)

I was re-watching the Dojo Cast Shuriken's vid in the morning. And they talked about Shuriken's role in Alan's vids. What happened is that they talked about this scene and how they animated the sticks normally at first but then with coding they transformed it all to the musical notes we saw. THEY SHOWED THIS

THEY DID THE SCENE NORMALLY AT FIRST. There you can see Navy/RB, Purple and Orchid with their normal appearences!!!!.

I was in doubt at first. But if you take notice they used Purple's actual color and not a modification of it for whatever reason! That means that they could've also used Navy's and Orchid's ACTUAL COLORSS!!!

Shuriken - Where is he now? - Dojocast Ep.15

First and foremost your writing is.. woah it's so well written and lovely, it's very neat

Okay so way out of context but imagining the body horror in avam is always so insane to me.

For an obvious example - Gold.

He had his shreds of code disintegrating and deteriorating into a foreign development, with intentions of adapting with it (which it couldn't, obviously — that's some wild body horror) That is equivalent to your body and flesh rotting in real time, tissue and muscle being horrifically stretched and pulled apart piece by chunkkk desperately trying to acclimate to a new, unfamiliar existence. no no nuh uh,

We as a fandom does not give enough credit or a second glimpse to Gold's death because we aren't, yk, stickfigures, but imagining and applying that to reality, it is sickening to say the least.

And of course, Victim and his rocket significantly saturating was due to Victim not being an animation/art piece uploaded to Newgrounds. He doesn't belong there. (So his body deteriorated in color, and he visibly starts shrinking/pressuring in on himself.) Thats cool if I'm being honest. Disturbing yeah, but cool.

As much as I love Victim with scars, I'd like to propose:

Victim doesn't have any scars, but he still feels like he does.

His body, this body, this iteration of him, is pristine; it was brand new, freshly drawn, and Alan hadn't gotten the chance to damage him before he escaped. The past damage never carried over to the new instances of him. There's not a mark on him, there's nothing physically wrong with it.

But he can still feel where he'd been hurt before. The places where there should be scars, marks, knotted flesh knit imperfectly back together from so so so so many deaths. The phantom sensations of something being there, dull and distant, both there yet not, and he doesn't know if he's going crazy, hallucinating again, or if it's real. He can't tell.

All he knows is that it feels wrong, disconcerting, when his fingers brush over only smooth skin.

He has no physical scars, at least not from Alan, not on this body. But the psychological phantasmal scars are very much there, and never quite fade away completely.

It's so funny to me how Dark man-handled the Color Gang in the most devastating, tragic, emotional way possible

And then when brought up, Green's only response is "ew"

I love him so much HAHSHAH

The official design of them is absolutely stunning

Hello, my name is Lama, and I am from Gaza City, specifically in the northern Gaza Strip. I grew up in a loving family of resilience and hope, with my parents working tirelessly to provide us with a life of dignity and opportunity. My father was our steadfast provider, and my mother was the heart of our home. I have two brothers and three sisters, the youngest of whom is just six months old. She is frail and often sick due to the lack of proper food and medicine. My siblings and I have shared dreams of education, careers and a bright future. But life in Gaza is marked by hardship, and when the war began, everything we had built was shattered. My older brother, a kind and a courageous soul, was martyred while trying to secure basic necessities for our survival, my younger sister was gravely injured, and the cost of her treatment weighs more than the universe to us, now the responsibility for my family has fallen on my shoulders.

Help Lama in the North

Hello, my name is Lama, and I am from Gaza City, specifically in the northern Gaza Strip. I grew up in a loving family of resilience and hop

Our home, once filled with warmth, laughter and memories, has been reduced to rubble. We have been displaced more than thirty times from place to a place with nothing but the clothes on our backs. Each time we returned, we found more destruction, we always clung to the hope of rebuilding, but in the last attack, our home was completely destroyed, we are now homeless, living in unsafe conditions with no shelter to protect us from the cold nights. The loss of our home is not just the loss of a building, it’s the loss of safety, stability, and the place where our dreams were nurtured.

With my father unemployed since the beginning of the war, we have no income to provide even the most basic necessities. Water, food, medicine, warm clothes and blankets-things that many take for granted-are beyond our reach. Every day is a battle for survival, and every night is a reminder of the dangers and struggles we face. I am determined to care for family and give my younger brothers and sisters a chance to grow up with hope. But I cannot do it alone.

I am reaching out to you with a plea for compassion and action. Your support can help us rebuild our lives, restore hope, and secure a future where my family can live in peace and safety. Every donation, no matter how small brings us closer to survival and dignity. Please for the sake of god and humanity, help us in this time of desperate need.
