Ok, total non-sequitur, but....
Check out the top left shelf. Figure bases. Dust much? Fingerprints? Then you look around....
Dust everywhere. Wu is tall. This dust is THICK. Chose to be photo'ed in front of it.
DIRTY. LAZY. FUCK.
Ok, now I'm just flat out confused - I am now engaging toy collecting sperg mode to explain why I'm pointing out three specific figures that shouldn't be there
.
First off, the big pink horse to the right of Wu's head. The pink coloration indicates that this is the big electronic Princess Celestia toy released
back in 2010, which says such intelligent things like "My wings are so pretty!" and "Let's fly to the castle!" because it's a girl's toy. The date is significant, though, because as the first version, Wu inexplicably bought
only that pony toy for some undefinable reason - and it wasn't because it was the only Celestia toy ever made, a color-correct white version was released one or two years ago. So with there being no relation to the character Celestia...what the ever loving hell made Wu decide to spontaneously buy one of the biggest examples of the MLP toyline being diehard loyal to the stereotypes of old where girls toys are brainless and pink?
But then the second toy of note is none other than the
one pony toy of Sunset Shimmer, to the left of Celestia, who is even more mystifying because
that character existed only to be the main antagonist of the Equestria Girls film (meaning we can now confirm Wu
watched Equestria Girls). For that whole film, based on what the relevant wiki says, Sunset Shimmer was a completely ruthless alpha bitch the whole time and is only "redeemed" in the last five minutes she's even in the film (there's apparently 15 minutes between this and the actual ending of the film). The only reason I can think of why Wu would want Sunset Shimmer's
pony toy, given how Equestria Girls is basically Hasbro's answer to Monster High so you can figure out what toy she's usually taking the form of, is...something involving seeing a part of herself in Sunset's non-character. Yeah.
Finally, I don't even
know where to begin on the last one, but the "blindbag" size Twilight Sparkle is hanging out with those tiny FF characters on the right side middle shelf. On top of that, it's almost like Wu was trying to "hide" Twilight, which seems utterly against the idea of having Celestia and Sunset promimently displayed together on the top shelf.
To that end, I have to ask: has Wu
ever acknowledged MLP's current incarnation cartoon in any tweets? Because it just seems so out of left field here. End toy collecting sperg mode.
The dust is kinda yellow/brownish. Someone must smoke a lot in there.
We did see what looked like a box of cigarettes in a previous picture, the "hotel selfie" IIRC. Wouldn't surprise me if Wu was a heavy smoker - it's not like most of their home life is spent in that exact room anyway and they probably burn through several packs a day. Multiply by a few years and it's likely a good portion of that dust was Wu generated.
Well, it could be that they had some renovations going - it looks pretty much like sawdust. Perhaps they added a new door and pushed the shelves together at an angle to have some space. Wu thought that it would be nice to take a quick photo right between them, but didn't bother to dust off the shelves in that moment.
I doubt there is ongoing renevations, no way Wu wouldn't have tweeted about it as some bullshit like "improving the room where the magic happens!" or some garbage of the like. Plus, leaving the shelves in there during renovations wouldn't be possible anyway - the workers would insist on their removal in order to give them maximum working room.
No, I think we've seen that figure before. Top shelf in the white cabinet:
Article I nabbed this from is dated Oct. 30th, 2014 so unless there's a different R60 figurine elsewhere, that
has to be the exact same Holiday statue which is partially seen in the Shelves of Dust. Might be the same books in these pictures, too.
Also, side note: in copying this picture over, I noticed the right most screen has a window open to a list of pictures. Unless I'm mistaken, nobody's followed up on this strange detail even though none of those pictures - viewed in closeup - have anything to
do with the supposed render work on the other two monitors.
EDIT 2: HOLY SHIT. I think the fact theses pictures are in extremely high quality - no doubt because Wu wanted to make themselves look good - that dresser when zoomed in has a
SHITLOAD of interesting things. Portal 2 Bookends, probably the only two books on the Unreal Engine Wu has ever owned, a bottle of what I'm guessing is hand sanatizer...and on the far right what looks like something pony related as at maximum zoom I can just make out the stock vector of Rarity next to some pony building. I actually have no idea what the hell this thing could be, but something tells me the Wu - pony connection may be worth looking into.
