Well, the whole question got me thinking, someone with a mild interest in the general sciences and I thought, why not let them be another elementary particle?
Now, it is kind of clear that with the whole "RGB" thing the subatomic particle physics of the entire objectified universe is probably very very different, but with how similar a lot of things are I assume that atoms and chemicals are relatively unchanged.
So, souls could be disturbances in yet another particle field! It makes sense how they could then interact with the world and move from A to B and be influenced by other living beings.
Of course, you can very easily come up with some metaphysical explanation, but I'm not really into that, so here I am.
I call the field that contains the soul the etherfield. And the particles that inhabit this field are the etherons. Which then could in turn create antietherons, which could be fun: beings with anti-souls...
Anyways, I'm getting off-track.
What if you could use these etherons in biological processes? Maybe this is how soul-consuming beings make their energy? I think it'd be cool if they were effected by electric charges.
Maybe you could have them boxed in little molecules for transport. It'd be kind of interesting. Here's an approximate idea of what one might look like? Treating them like electrons, a heavily fluorinated cubane structure could work. An interesting consequence of this is that fluorine would be promoted to an essential element for soul-consuming species (eating toothpaste for sustinence, anyone?).
With the right properties given to an etheron, perhaps it could be more efficient than oxidative phosphorylation?
Again, this is just a very general idea, the molecules in use and the exact methods would probably end up very different. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

So in the most recent 650K stream it was sort of confirmed that Test Tube is fluorescein. Now to the uninitiated, when you look up fluorescein you get images like this:
So of course it makes sense that people think that this makes sense, she is ALSO a bright green color right? So it fits perfectly. However there's some issues.
For one, fluorescein only glows this brightly under UV light. Under normal inside lighting it looks more like this:
And under sunlight more like this:
While under the sun it does look quite green, it's still pretty yellow, no? And I wouldn't assume that her inside lighting perfectly matches the sun.
And Test Tube isn't "mostly yellow with green glow"! She isn't Mtn Dew, she is more like the pure green on a computer screen or something (at least in her second season):
So what else could she be? For a second I will be ignoring the weird staining properties her liquid has an focusing solely on color. (Though to be fair to the team, Fluorescein stains literally anything and everything)
Initially I thought of salt solutions, since that was what first came to mind when I thought of naturally green liquids, and I found my contender there. Introducing Chromic Chloride!
I feel like that's pretty dang close to her green, no? Furthermore, it's not bright green under UV, that's just how Chromic Chloride looks like. To me, the second to last vial looks the closest (and a good argument could be made that the third to last vial also looks like her third season appearance)
And then I discovered chlorophyll:
Look at that color. That is literally Test Tube right there. Now, most chlorophyll looks muddy because all the other plant stuff hasn't been filtered out, but pure chlorophyll like this is a really pure, really Test Tube-y green color.
I think Chlorophyll is the best candidate for a Test Tube color (and it's pretty good at staining stuff, even if it's not the ungodly stain that fluorescein is).
Oh, and fun fact, Chlorophyll fluoresces bright red under UV!
my favourite feature of english is how unafraid it is to break itself if given the chance
i can think of everything about japan all the culture life food etc etc. but i am physically incapable of thinking about japanese politics i just can’t is this normal
"wow ur so good at math" ah ha but you see. you dont ever get good at math. you stay bad, but now youre bad at harder math
