Hello :] Just an idea how Zum Zum could fit into Sebastian's narrative and how she could be used to tie in Mr. Lopee's involvement.

Presented as an A Hat in Time storybook because guess I am doomed liking the official canon ship of a noodle and his wife (The first page is a nod towards "The Tale of Queen Vanessa")

Storybooks don't come with dialogue, however just in case some stuff in the pages is unclear...

=======================

Fully story and headcanon explanation basically:

Sebastian and Zum Zum end up together in Urbanshade. I don't care how exactly.

Zum Zum gets infected by the Valcula Void-Mass. Urbanshade experiments ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Due to its acid like trait, Zum Zum is now at the risk of dissolving (dying) to it, but the AD-E system ("Anti-Disgression Evaporation") keeps it from spreading and performing its dissolving process. Why Urbanshade not just killing her? Maybe she's the only one so far who survived the infecting procedure?

Maybe immediately, maybe some time passed, Sebastian causes the lockdown. And now tries to contact rival companies to not just get out, but also in hopes of one of them being able to help Zum Zum (and him).

Mr. Lopee steps into the narrative and offers Sebastian a deal. He can bring Zum Zum back to live in her original body once she died.

Sebastian agrees despite his goals being opposite to Mr. Lopee's (Not wanting the crystal getting retrieved vs. having the crystal being retrieved) and starts helping the player character (against his will) with the death screen and the pre-round shop.

Bonus:

(This is how storybook are viewed in A Hat in Time. The greatness of being a modder)

Sebastion Solace’s spine and rib structure has gotta be fucked up.

Sebastion’s progression to current from brings unavoidable questions regarding the development of his serpentine body.

The anatomy of a snake means Sebastian’s body would have to increase its vertebrae and ribs from its center to match snake anatomy.

Some species of snakes have vestigial spurs where their legs would have developed, meaning we have a reasonable place where the remains of Sebastian’s pelvic bones should be.

Meaning the amount of extra vertebrae and ribs Sebastian’s body would have to produce from the center of its structure creates a horrifying amount of room for error.

Guesses about Sebastian Solas's past ⸺ my theory

⚠️ This was translated from Russian, so it may sound weirdly .

꒰ ⛓️ ꒱ Hey! I want to share my theory on how and why Solas was convicted. Honestly, I haven't found any official information on this topic, so everything written below should be taken with a grain of skepticism ⸺ especially if information about this part of his past has already been revealed earlier.

All we know is that Sebastian Solas is a Chilean national who was charged with the murder of nine people. Since the death penalty has been banned in Chile ⸺ and throughout South America ⸺ since 2001, let's assume that Sebastian lived in the United States. He was tried as an adult for nine counts, which were most likely committed on days AFTER his 18th birthday; otherwise, he could not have been sentenced to death ⸺ the U.S. Supreme Court has prohibited capital punishment for crimes committed before the age of 18 (Roper v. Simmons, 2005).

It can be assumed that he was arrested when he was nearly 19 years old. From this, it follows that the murders were committed within a short period of time (about a couple of months, five at most), and the investigation lasted less than six months.

This leads to two possible scenarios: first, the murders were committed in a state where the death penalty is permitted (given the specification that the execution was to be carried out by electric chair, this narrows the number of possible states down to nine ⸺ Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia); second, the murders were committed across multiple states, which would have elevated the investigation to the federal level. The first scenario is more likely, but the second cannot be ruled out.

Sebastian Solas was placed in the Secret Hadal Facility in 2013, when he was (presumably) 20 years old. Under these circumstances, and considering that Sebastián was later found innocent, there are inconsistencies ⸺ such an investigation would have taken much longer than 1–1.5 years. Typically, investigations of this kind take 3–4 years, or even longer. This means we need to find a reason why he was apprehended and convicted so quickly.

In 2011, the anti-immigrant climate in the United States reached one of its peaks in modern history, driven by the lingering effects of the 2008 economic crisis, rising unemployment, and political polarization. As part of the emerging campaign for the 2012 presidential election, Republican candidates actively exploited the theme of «border security». The concept of «self-deportation» gained traction creating unbearable legal and economic conditions to pressure immigrants into leaving the country on their own.

Chileans in the U.S. were perceived as a migrant minority alongside other Latin Americans. Despite the fact that they socially often placed themselves above Mexicans or Peruvians, in practice they were still regarded as a racial and cultural minority. However, the vast majority of Chileans were in the U.S. legally, and direct deportation risks barely affected them. Still, due to the laws in effect at the time, Latin American ⸺ including legal residents and U.S. citizens of Chilean descent faced prejudiced treatment, and anyone with a Latin American appearance or accent could be subjected to document checks by police on the street.

From this, it follows that the haste in reaching a death penalty decision in Sebastián Solas's case may have been driven by plain racism toward his Latin American background, as well as possible public outcry and media pressure.

WE DONT PLAY WITH "EXPENDABLES ARE IMMORTAL" ENOUGH!!!!

I mean, come ONNNN!!!!! we definitely are, because we aren't just given "black screen, game over, here's ya file" we get sebastion actively commenting on our deaths and laughing at us!!!!

AND WE COME RIGHT BACK!!!

i know it's considered more fun to play with "you die, it's over" since the stakes are higher, but just think of the possibilities!!!!

an expendable, visibly traumatized from dying more times than they can count, drawing themselves going through the things they went through before on any plain paper they can get

or the point of view of sebastion as he watches a usually cheery expendable coming back every time and slowly but surely getting quieter... and quieter.... until one day they show up in his shop, not responding to him, eyes perpetually cast downward...

THE POSSIBILITIES! THE ANGST! THE HURT/COMFORT!!!!!

[shadytreelucy-blog]

what crimes do ya'll think the expendable committed in order to get death row /life sentence?

i fully believe their a criminal cus you dont get put in a high security prison if you're chill.

i dont even think sebastian was in high security prison and they believed he "killed" nine people (correct me if im wrong i didnt see anything on the wiki)

so its either the expendable had a history of escaping and was really violent OR they were in a gang.

mini theory i dont think this is true but how crazy it'd be if the expendable is the person who killed those nine people, as far as i know idk if they caught the real killer i just know sebastian was delcared innocent like imagine the person who is the root cause of sebastian pain and torture is the same person he's forced to help.

So I haven’t played pressure in a while and today I get this really cool room which I thought had the coolest mechanic ever, going into a pressurized room that had all the lava in it and having to go fast as you have an oxygen tank that runs out, if not you would suffocate because of the various toxic gasses created by lava. I thought the most interesting part, and correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the fact that you had to step into an airlock is actually accurate because if not the smoke and stuff that created and anaerobic environment would have torn you in half stepping from the pressure of the weight of the ocean vs that of the lava room which has to have some ventilation to let the lava in, I am basing a lot of this off of my 9th grade science class, the byford dolphin incident and that one scene from the dead where they get crazy Matt out of the chapel after they burned a bunch of paper amd almost all die. I might have cooked up the wrong theory of why this happens with the pressure of the atmosphere but I do believe the gasses is the main reason why the pressure is different

Found some old stuff when I had calculated pandemonium's height and length irl

So some basic context/knowledge: One Roblox stud is approximately 28 cm or 11 inches. The average Roblox avatar is 5-6 studs which is 152cm (4'7) and 168cm (5'6). The middle ground, 5.5 studs is 152 (5'0).

Sebastian's model is 54'5 studs/15.26 meters (51 feet) but his canonical height is 19 meters (62 feet). That's approximately a 1.25% increase, which I'll add to pandemonium's height and length.

ALRIGHT. So how I did this. I found a image of Pandemonium's sprite on the base plate, then I took the studs (which were at an angle, but l fixed them to be straight) and found how many pixels each stud was. Each stud was around 10 pixels (the image was heavily pixelated, unfortunately) and the entire sprite was around 103 pixels. I rounded it to 100, which made the sprite 280 cm (9ft) tall.

I did the same exact process for the width, which turned out to be 12 studs / 336 cm (11ft).

That’s nice and all, but what about the length? Well I found several images of anglerfish, and since I’ve never seen Pandemonium be referred to as a specific species, I just took all the height to length ratios and found the average. I couldn’t find any statistics online so I took side view images of anglerfish and found the estimates myself.

The six examples I used are these following (these are how much longer they are to the height, not the height compared to the length): 2.0, 1.75, 2.0, 2.0, 1.5, 2.0.

All together this averages to the length being about 1.875 longer than the height.

Applying this to my previously found height of 280 cm, pandemonium’s length is 525cm (17 ft)

So pandemonium is 280 cm tall, 336 cm wide and 525 long.

In feet that’s 9ft tall, 11 ft wide and 17ft long.

Applying Sebastian’s increase in size these measures would be changed to:

525 cm tall, 630 cm wide, and 984.4 cm long.

In feet that’s 17 ft tall, 20 feet wide and 32 feet long.
