    One thing I can think of that can support Edward not thinking anything odd about the glove and watches would be the magic analysis wand, it looks like an electronic device, even has a pop-out piece that covers where batteries go. Who ever made it was either a Seer like Tedd, or maybe there actually is a way to make magitech devices and Edward assumed that Tedd was able to figure out how to make them as well, maybe Edward just figured that Tedd reverse engineered the Uryuom tech. Something just occurred to me, and this is at the moment a wild theory, but what if those other glow incidents are related to Tedd's second purpose? Two of those moments were in relation to very strong positive emotions. Voltaire's been trying to traumatize or otherwise entice very strong negative emotions from Tedd to worsen the outcome of his hidden purpose. I should be safe to assume that the strong positive emotions would make for a better outcome. The best analogy that I can think of would be the Light and Dark sides of the Force and Voltaire's trying to get Tedd to go Dark Side. I'm not entirely sure it would make a difference whether Tedd based the transformation watches on Elliot's morphing or anyone else morphing I think the spell would be the same or at least very similar no matter who had it. The results of the spell wouldn't be so much dependent on the spell itself, but the caster being able to focus on the form well enough to get it right. Elliot has a hard time getting his forms right because he's trying to focus on a lot of detail, plus it's easy to distract him and sabotage the results. Susan did a better job of keeping her clothes fitting well enough probably because she's just better at focusing on what she wants, while Nanase....obviously didn't. I think you give Tedd too much credit, yeah Tedd should have questioned it more, but remember, he didn't like the idea that his parents might have been wrong about him, so he tried to think up other ways to justify how he could do certain things. I don't know for certain if the glasses were magically made or just high-tech, everyone thought they let him analyze magic but even he admitted that they only made him look scientific(even Dan states in the commentary that the glasses were an intentional misdirection), so... I think at this point... That's what I mean by fine tuning, the watches that have specific forms and such would have a lot of details that Tedd would code in by computer and transfer to the glove, and then once those are imbued into the watch would allow the user to just think "Grace 1", rather than having to actually picture what Grace looks like. The dynamic morphs probably only have a few parameters to make sure certain thing do or don't happen, but for the most part rely on the person to properly picture how they want to look. Also, and this is just a theory, but what if the size limitation that Tedd has isn't necessarily because he's only seen someone cast a spell that shrank or grew someone a specific size. But because he's basing those kinds of watches on the limits of spells that only have size adjustments as a portion of the spell effect? For instance, Tedd watches Elliot transform, he loses 4 inches in height due to the form itself but it's not an actual shrink spell being applied, Tedd sees that a resize happens but it's not quite the same as it would be if Rhoda had used her resize spell. So Tedd has to try to separate the resize from the rest of the spell and fill in any blanks that results. It works but it's limited. If Tedd were to see Rhoda's resize spell in action, he should see exactly what those missing bits should be. He certainly does, because Lespuko blood was planned part of the project and Lord Tedd likely also has TF gun. Yeah I don't doubt that General Shade Tail has the same control of his morphing ability as Grace does, and could likely pass as a stranger on the street easily enough, but I don't expect to see him impersonating Edward or Greg or anyone else we know because that would require clone forms of people that may not exist in Lord Tedd universe or not even look the same (Lord Tedd seems to be taller than our Tedd for instance), in order for it to work, they'd have to somehow scan someone from the main universe and that's even assuming Lord Tedd has access to a TFG and scanner. Also, Dan's already stated that if he has anyone impersonating anyone, there'd be clues, we'd have a chance to figure it out ahead of time if someone wasn't who they claimed to be. Then again, considering all the potential stories one could make involving someone impersonating another, we'll probably now expect any impersonator to be General Shade Tail.

    I need to vent.

    I tend to avoid unmoderated forums for exactly this sort of thing. I get into enough arguments on moderated forums.

    There are at least three examples of that in canon: Ellen zapping Vlad into Vladia; Nanase getting her guardian form to save Ellen; Ellen copying Nanase's guardian form and its powers to save Nanase.

    Loudmouth's Journey Inside

    Had a bit of a "back off!" moment a couple of hours ago. Loudmouth was discovering the house, but Baker was trying to discover Loudmouth. They kept near-missing each other until they met, face-to-face, at the hall corner. Loudmouth had had enough. He went into full growl mode, and eventually opened up his mouth and gave him a warning "tiger growl." Baker backed off really quickly and left Loudmouth alone after that little encounter. It's pretty clear that Loudmouth is willing to coexist with Baker. He's just not willing to be "best buds" yet. Baker pushed the boundary too far this morning, and he got told to back off, which he did. Neither cat wanted to kill the other cat: it was more of a, "Hey! Get out of my face/rear end!" move by Loudmouth, and Baker honored it. Could be much worse.

    9:28 a.m. CDT 20170727. Woke up around 6am or so and took my pain medicine. Took the rest of my medicines—including the Lyrica—after getting a cup of applesauce into me. I'm already feeling the discombobulation and the double vision. Just had an argument with Mrs. Prof about whether or not I should call the podiatrist and ask him to get off of the Lyrica. She said I'd "done the research" and determined that it was going to take two weeks for my body to catch up. I reminded her that she treated me like a drunken zombie when I tried to show her a spreadsheet the other night. In the end, it was decided that I'm going to stay on the Lyrica, and that she's just going to have to put up with me having problems with it. Right now, my head's telling me two things: one, that I'm tired, and two, that I need to work on internet stuff. Not sure which choice I'll follow. Probably one.

    My speculation is he thinks its a more portable version of the TFG, or related to it in some way. Magic that isn't magic. Which is kinda what Elliot's magic started as--he was zapped by the TFG. I'm not even sure Edward thinks Tedd has done anything that isn't basically a variation on the TFG; I'd like to think he would be a LOT more interested in what Tedd's doing if he knew.

    But how many years ago was it way premature? Could we be getting close to when it is no longer premature?

    I think so for a different reason: If Lord Tedd believes he needs that gauntlet for combat, taking it away from it could make him helpless. If General Shade Tail knows this, he has a way to disarm Lord Tedd. And if the General knows what's going on with our Tedd, it would become very important to keep our Tedd and Lord Tedd from comparing notes. Something else occurs to me. General Shade Tail may have same morphing abilities comparable to Grace's. If he comes to the Moperverse, he could potentially look like anyone. Maybe the vampire mercenaries won't be the only unwelcome visitors this evening...

    Obviously I could be wrong, but I really don't think Edward knows about Tedd being a seer or even having magic except for the ambient magic as power source and some kind of intuitive grasp to ensorcel the watches; I think that he truly believes his son is magic impaired and has decided to accept his son as he "is", and hasn't bothered to research Tedd; perhaps doing what could be seen as the opposite of what Noriko did. I think that this colors his perceptions as well; he sees Tedd as needing protection, to the point of coddling him. Of course, as I write this, I see the flaw in this argument about Edward not researching what makes Tedd tick. A lot of what Tedd does shouldn't make sense to Edward. I absolutely can't imagine he wouldn't have had the glove analyzed and tested (discovering it doesn't work for anyone else), unless Tedd never told him about the glove, but then Edward would want to know how Tedd makes the watches. Also, an intuitive grasp of magic? Shouldn't that be investigation worthy? But I really feel like he has kept Tedd away from anyone knowing too much about what Tedd does, to prevent Tedd from being poked and prodded Dad's Government Business. Hmm, so, in conclusion, I have argued myself into a corner. Bottomline, I don't think Edward knows that Tedd is a seer, and I would bet the Feds don't know much of anything about Tedd at all. If Edward has researched Tedd, I bet it has been clandestine and off the books.

    OK, the drugs are working enough that I don't want to be knocked out, but not enough that I can think straight about Edge. This is less than optimal, but better than it was an hour ago.
