So tempted to write a prequel fanfiction to Stray with lore, new characters, plot, major character death, and character development... until I realized I'm too lazy for that.

apologies for the title of the video n stuff being visible on the screenshots whatever- but im going on a ramble

are we just gonna ignore how there are these weird beer-things and what seems to be alcohol and cigarrettes in both Clementine’s and Zbaltazar’s apartments in the Slums???????? Why does zbaltazar have a double bed despite seeming to live alone???? WHO IS THE DEAD GUY ON DOC’S APARTMENT !! and someone else said this but clementine’s apartment is devoid of plants. it has pots but they are all empty

I’m probably overthinking it as I always do, but are these roBOTS OKAY?? like im sure they probably improved GREATLY judging by their current residence and stuff. but man. WERE THEY OK??

also im thinking about clementine having like. trust issues after living in midtown for so long. and a lot of paranoia. 

there ain’t no way these robots are gonna be okay after all of this shi happens and for the others realizing their life was a lie sOBS

also I like to think that the other outsiders. especially Momo. helped them feel mentally better cuz these apartments ain’t it- and i know they don’t have lungs but im sure your little robot body won’t handle a buncha carbon dioxide in your system. as for the alcohol looking things- i feel like ‘’drinking’’ anything OTHER than oil and RAM and stuff- would not be good. 

it’s also clear that doc visisted the whatever-library-there-was-in-the-slums a lot.

also zbaltazar aren’t you supposed to recite a mantra for transcedental meditation or something. your not sayign anything your just doing napstablook-type-meditation where bam you go to space. unless you recite the mantra in your head? idk anything about meditation this all comes from google search research.

I ALSO NOTICED MOMO WAS LITERALLY CRYING. FULL-ON-TEARS CRYING OVER HIS FRIENDS AND TRANSCEIVER. MOMO NOOOOOOOO- SOBS,,,

i wish you could edit the images to crop it but it wont let me which sucks but man,

ok enough rambling.

What are the Eyes in Stray?

I have a theory to what they are. In microbiology bacteria can be free roaming, like the smaller zurks in the game, but bacteria often will form biofilm, a collective of many individual bacteria to form a mass, a film that usually clings to something, and grows. The most interesting thing about biofilms is quorum sensing, in which a biofilm, which can have a population of varying bacteria, mold, fungi, protozoa and viruses etc. together, actually sets up a self regulating system. Quorum Sensing allows the mass to control genes. Some are turned on or off, to do various different functions for the collective biofilm, such as defense, growth, virulence, bioluminescence, chemical secretion and many more other potential functions. And on top of it, biofilms are much more harder to kill than individual free swimming bacteria, they often have much higher resistance to the typical physical, chemical and radiation factors that could damage or kill them. Dental plaque is an example of biofilm, the fresh stuff is easy to brush away, the older stuff is more mineralized and becomes hard and difficult to remove. So....The eyes in the sewers could very well be a "biofilm". The makeup of the biofilm could be non roaming zurks, but also human genetics and organic material. The dead can provide growth resources but also genetics to various different resistances and growth hormones and regulators. If this biofilm was able to engulf live humans, human consciousness or intelligence, could possibly also be added to this large organism, due to the functioning neurological pathways in a live human compared to a dead one, the functioning bio pathway could have been rapidly integrated. Think how fungi can hijack an ant's living body to do weird behavior and climb to a point where it then dies and the fungi sporulates. The biofilm could perhaps even enhance whatever body systems and genetics from humans with any companion and computer operating systems as well. So we have the rapidly evolving, growing and virulent zurks, engulfing other organisms, and organic matter like many bacteria do, breaking them down and taking what materials they need to perform typical growth, but also randomly conserving parts that may become beneficial to them and it replicates, grows, and mutates forever more as time goes on. The eyes look like that of an animal, with eye lids and round pupil, it follows and have rather many expressions, and gives off a look of curiosity, and observing nature. This is a feature of animals, especially humans, but they also have a defensive response to be able to call in the free roaming zurks. So you have a higher intelligence behavior, paired with the rapid hive mind flooding to a stimuli, like microphages onto on a foreign body. The sewer eyes has to be a massive biofilm of zurk, human and whatever other micro or macro organisms that were dumped into the sewers.

Throws this at you and scurries away 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Since Clementine might have a camera I made these little doodles, should I turn them into full drawings?

Since I saw that photo that Zbaltazar gives us in ant village, I’m thinking what if there are more photos out there… so I made some funky sketches of idk concept for photos? I actually kinda like it so im wondering if I should turn them into like full, complete drawings. Though I might lose motivation halfway through…

the stray fandom is one of the fandoms i’ve seen the LEAST amount of ships. And I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing
