Anywho, this was a special little Invention of the Week where people were able to "ask" Amelia questions and get answered. For funsies I included her replying to comments that some people have left on past Inventions of the Week. This was a fun little diddy so if you have questions/want to see another one of these comment below!


Hello everyone! Well, probably not everyone just the people watching this. It's the lab rat Amelia! And today I have a uh...er...I don't actually have anything. You see I complete forgot to make something this week, well, maybe laziness is a better word. I was on dates! It's not my fault! They all ended rather meh. About 90% walked right now. To their credit my dating profile picture is very outdated, considering I'm not a rat or woman in that picture. You know I really should update that if I'm going to keep using dating sites...

None the less the other 10% went pretty poorly. It seems like some people have never seen a rat woman before! There was this nice otter man I like to think I hit it off with. Although I mean that both physically and mentally because we both accidentally punched each other in the face while trying to be cute. However, we did exchange numbers and I think they'll be a second date!

And I got off track, as usual! Seriously I swear every time I do this I always go off on some tangent before getting into the actual thing. Although, in this case I don't have a thing to get to. So uh...let's look at comments! You guys leave comments some time so I'll answer them because...I don't have anything else to show you guys today. It's not lazy I swear! I went on like 20 dates in a week leave me alone!

Anyways, rather than talk about and show off an invention I made, I'm just going to read comments and emails that I've gotten and then talk about them. What an easy episode for me to make! Hooray for lazy edition of Invention of the Week because I had dates! It shall be called Ask Amelia! Even if not everyone asked a question if they just left a comment on an installment. So, why don't we start with the comments?

This one was on the second Invention of the Week, the Dragon Pearls where I pranked Gavin and made him into a dragoness. She stayed liked that and ended up helping with the showing off of the Maternity Bra in episode five. This comment comes from someone called Mehlahphuse, saying it'd be a wonderful gift for them and their friends, and that'd it be a good prank for a friend that denies the dragoness in her. Well, my best friend is a dragoness so they're pretty neat. Then again I am the reason she is a dragoness in the first place BUT I am the reason I'm a rat in the first place so it kind of evens out no? Even if you want it for yourself they make a great fashion accessory, as long as you don't mind being a dragoness.

The next comment comes from a user going by YoshiTFFan on the fifth Invention of the Week, the Maternity Bra. They're comment was agreeing with my statement how do pregnant woman deal with the pains of pregnancy. To this day I still don't know, and if when I get kids I'll have to go through that pain all over again. Maybe it won't hurt as bad since I've been through the simulated pain already? Either way pregnant woman have been through a lot of pain and are not to be messed with.

Episode seven of Invention of the Week, the Hugable Sweater had a lot of comments. Both users RatchetFox84 and TheEvilBudgie had confirmed that they find me lovable! That's a two-fur and I'm okay with that! I'm just a humble rat doing incredible things that turn people into different things, I try! What's more lovable than humble? Well, probably plushies which was what that invention of the week was about! It's full circle! Also commented on it was a user called ranfox who suggested a reverse effect on the Hugable Sweater itself, meaning the wearer becomes a plush when hugged. Perhaps that's an idea I can stea-I mean borrow! It sounds like it'd be a fun little thing to do!

That's all the comments I'll read off here. There are a few more but don't want to get too overcrowded am I right? Plus what if I want to make more of these? I can get more content out of it! Anyways, I received a hefty amount of mail, so let's read it shall we?

So, without further adieu the first question is coming from user Derpyleafeon asking what made me become an inventor. The answer to that is pretty simple. I was like "Hey, I remember seeing a few inventions so now I want to do that." and then I did it! Ended up making me a rat woman but hey, what's life without wacky lab accidents that alter your genetic structure and turn you into an anthropomorphic female rat? A boring one if you ask me! People liked seeing them so I just kinda kept doing them. Hopefully that answered your question leafeon person.

Next question comes from someone called silvermaxus253, asking "What is it like having a tail? Recommend having one?" It took a while to get used to, it would always knock stuff over and I'd sit on it a lot which hurts like a monkey slapping you in the face. Why do I know that would hurt? I dunno, I figured getting slapped by anything would hurt. Like getting hit hurts there's no way around that. Would I recommend having one? Maybe a fluffy one cause it's like an extra pillow or blanket. One like mine is just kinda like a rope, all rough and it hurts when someone tugs on it. You'd think that wouldn't happen a lot but Carly, the dragoness you might remember from installments two, five, and seven likes to do it to get on my nerves sometimes. Then again I made her a dragoness so I guess so has the right to.

Alrighty, next up is a question from LEGOboy130 asking how does my technology transform people's age, gender, and species and if it was hard to figure out. The answer to that is science. Science does a lot of things. If you look at something and think "science" you to can transform things if you science them enough. As per figuring it out perhaps a little. Luckily, I have science knowledge I learned from Wikipedia. And university, that to.

Question four comes from someone who commented before, RatchetFox84 asking "What does it feel like to be a plushie? Would you do it again? Would you recommend it for others to try?" Well, not knowing it was going to happen was quite surprising. Although anyone who hugged me made me feel nice inside. Although being able to think but not do anything else like talk or move is a very weird sensation. Would probably not do it again but probably will happen again because Carly was really adamant about keeping the Hugable Sweater for a while. Maybe try it once and if you like it buy the hugable sweater when it comes out!

Next question comes from user NebulousSupposition asking "What was your most embarrassing lab accident/mix up?" and "What was your first attempt at causing transformation with an invention and how did it go?" My most embarrassing lab accident would probably be the whole turning into a rat situation because I was trying to make something that let me talks to rats. The worst part of all that is I still can't talk to rats! A rat woman not able to talk to rats, what kind of situation is that! My first attempt at causing a transformation? That would probably be Transformifier. Even though it was the fourth invention of the week episode, that was the very first thing I made transformation-wise. It'd be easy to reverse any changes compared to the others, and thanks to some test subjects in its alpha state I was able to learn all about DNA and thus able to do more transformation stuff.

Here we have KobaltAngelDragon, asking "I know that your tech can induce transformation, but can it modify the body in unnatural ways, for example... Extra body parts?" That is a question I don't know the answer to but the answer is probably. I haven't tried it. But transformation technology wasn't too difficult, just required two years of community college, four of University, one lab accident where you turn into a rat, and a lot of time on my hands. But going back to the question it probably could.

And the last question of the day comes from SparkBolt3020, asking "What's been your favorite invention to make so far? If you weren't a rat, which species of animal would you like to be?" My favorite invention that I've done so far would probably be the Vino Wine. Basically, I made alcohol do a neat thing. Like there could be a whole drinking game around it. Put money on what you'll transform into. I worked with this otter man to make it a specialty drink for a bar but I've expanded because I like money. I mentioned that the otter and me were a romantic item but we weren't. Just good friends now, he's bar was supposed to open at some point but never did, wonder what happened with that. Now if I wasn't a rat, I would probably be something with a fluffy tail, cause people with fluffy tails don't know how good they have it! So probably something like a weasel or fox would be nice.

And that's all I got today! If you were expecting an invention then that is unfortunate! I gots nothing! That's why this is a special Invention of the Week and not numbered! But, hopefully I answered some of your questions, and feel free to ask me more and maybe I'll do another one, there's a comment section for a reason ya' know! Anyways, I will see you next time with an actual invention!
