    Should’a mentioned Pavane was from Lovetron.

      Does Tip actually know that little detail?

        I think so . . . didn’t Pavane tell Sweetheart she was Lovetron, and then Sweetheart told the rest of her team?

        Archive dive into Mixed-Up Files — What we see is that Sweetheart tells “Dr. Ao” about Pavane from Lovetron (he seems to not get it at all), and she tells Tigerlily about someone from Lovetron. She doesn’t say “Pavane” at the time, and it seems to not matter because Tigerlily is angry and Not Listening.

        But since Tip knows about Pavane now, I’m sure that Sweetheart included the detail about her being from Lovetron. Sweetheart is very detail-oriented.

      That does raise an interesting question though – are none of Tigerlily’s creations getting the dream to tell her about it?

      Are they all just that used to Tigerlily riffing about Lovetron to not think it odd, or does the Lovetron link mean that Pavane thinks they don’t need it – or is Jones already fully hip to the plan?

        I think it was established that Sweetdaddy Jupiter Velvet did have The Dream. But he was out on the Habbakkuk and may not be in touch at the moment.

          Oooh, thank’ee, I missed that.

        Since Tigerlily herself is commanding them on a daily basis, it probably doesn’t have the same punch as it did for others. The probably just wrote it off as a memory of last Thursday or something.

          That’s what I’d thought of as being the most world-appropriate. But I can’t really comment from the future.

        The dream would hit completely differently for robots that are still with their creator. And it doesn’t mention Lovetron anyway, for most of them. Sweetheart only got the extended edition of the dream where she actually talks to Pavane because they’d met before.

    There’s a name I wasn’t expecting to hear.

    So what would happen if someone invented an objectively terrible dance and named it the Tigerlily Jones? Would she suddenly be crippled by self doubt?

      [Numfar! Do the Dance of Honor!]

      I suspect that Tigerlily Jones would be outraged enough to wreak terrible vengeance on anyone dared sully her good name, in any way.

      Would she preemptively create her own dance, or is that too sane?

    I’m sure Tigerlily could make a pavane look cool. It’s just formalised strutting, after all.

      Oh, she could. She could make it groovy. THE GROOVIEST. But she has better things to do!

      I love a good pavane, but I’m having trouble imagining Tigerlily funking it up.

    How do you folks embed the actual video in your comments?
    Anyway, I did find this. IMHO, not sufficiently funky for the Empress of Lovetron.

      Sounds like the outro to a Final Fantasy game

      To embed the video, you have to use the full youtube.com url, not the short youtu.be url. And it has to be on a line by itself. So, for the video you used here, it would be
      youtube dot com / watch?v=Oe1XROUKBv0
      but change the word “dot” to an actual dot, and take out all the spaces.
