THE TUBE

"The scorching heat of the labrynthine Piropipes could be felt as they weaved among the cooling length of the cold corridor. The nostrils were assuaged with the earthy tones native to the burgeoning burrow and teased with the sharp scents of the urban underpass. THE TUBE constructed a frame from these elements of hot and cold, clean and unclean. It told the story of the lowly wire, the steadfast pipe, and the glorious tunnel. It showed its audience the opening of a vast pit, taught them how holes were merely the beginning of tubes, of paths to destinations dangerous and free. Even the worlds beyond were not immune to the tubes, for what was gravity but a path? What was a black hole but the aperture of a new journey? What was a portal but a tunnel through spacetime? THE TUBE was an inevitable aspect of existence. It was in flesh and blood bodies. It was in the spider's web. It was in the constellations between the stars. It was thought. It was certainty."
-Excerpt of THE TUBE's "speech" from The Election.
THE TUBE is a godform primarily known for its involvement in the January 2023 Plasma Temple Election. It's political platform was incredibly abstract but hinged on the philosophy that it was already the most important possible thing in the candidate pool.
== History ==
THE TUBE entered N Spider's universe within the last few decades. Recently it has taken an interest in the political processes of earth. Little else of THE TUBE's past is known besides what is chronicled in The Election. THE TUBE ran against Dog, Jimmy, Grungus, Unnamed, Skseksks, Antlion, EYEA, Shileguah, The Blackest Bird, and Rorschach in 2023, but failed to win any notable position.
== Powers and Personality ==
THE TUBE's personality is primordial and prideful. It is convinced all ideas can be reduced to tubes or their constituent parts: "inside", "outside", "wall", "path", "hole," "entrance", "exit", and so on. Therefore, all of reality can be analogized through the workings of its own anatomical components and the components of other tube-centric anomalies like The Piropipes, The Cold Corridor, The Burgeoning Burrow, and The Urban Underpass, which also form an "elemental grid" of hot, cold, clean, and unclean.
Despite its showy performances, THE TUBE did not seem to exert control of most aspects of reality or even anomalies like the aformentioned Piropipes. It is inferred within The Election that THE TUBE is just a conceptual parasite taking credit for the work of adjacent phenomena and wanting people to think it is more fundamental to reality than it is.
