The Brown Box was created by video gaming pioneer Ralph Baer as a homemade video game console that served as the prototype to the [[UsefulNotes/MagnavoxOdyssey Odyssey]], the very first official video game console in history.

* TakeThatAudience: In late 2022, several users on Fimfiction engaged in harassing the author over the AgeGapRomance developing between James and Smolder, even going so far as to [[PaedoHunt accuse the author of advocating for pedophilia and attempting to get The Lost Element flagged for deletion]] despite the author taking great lengths to handle the delicate topic with as much tact and caution as possible. In the final chapter of Volume 5, the author drops a HardTruthAesop reminding the readers that it’s absurd to impose the expectations of human psychology and sexuality onto nonhuman characters.

* HardTruthAesop: The Volume 5 finale provides one regarding the adolescent characters in the cast. It is a fallacy to impose the expectations of human psychology and sexuality onto characters [[MostWritersAreHuman who were never human in the first place]]. When dealing with the rate of mental and sexual maturity regarding nonhuman characters, SuspensionOfDisbelief is practically required.
