ok but the orv epilogue grabbing you by the face and going "HEY YOU. YEAH YOU. READING THIS. YOU READING THIS STORY IS CANON TO THIS UNIVERSE. BY READING THIS STORY YOU ARE SAVING THE MAIN CHARACTER. BY LOVING THE MAIN CHARACTER YOU ARE LOVING YOURSELF. BY SAVING HIM YOU ARE SAVING YOURSELF."
Truly the fifth wall break of all time. I'm not sure anything can top that experience. We've peaked as a species.
another redrawing i made :D (for a friend)
I’m starting to think some of y’all haven’t actually felt the rain on your skin… which is crazy because no one else can feel it for you

Since we aren’t going to get a third entry in the Alien prequels, I’m thinking about what David’s fate ultimately would’ve been. In my gut, I can’t help but think he would have been eventually destroyed by one of his creatures that he so loved. Canonically, the xenomorphs seem indifferent to synthetics unless a synthetic gets in their way. So, he probably pushed too much until one of them damaged him beyond repair
I just think that it would be a very poetic way for him to go: forgotten and alone on some empty planet killed by a creature who he loves but who cannot love him — because it can’t. He made it so that it has no attachments, no kindness, and no compassion
Even though David can be clinical and detached, I think he would hope that the xenos would have some sort of bond with him
But — to paraphrase a doc I watched over the weekend — “there’s no kinship there. Just the overwhelming indifference of nature”
tears in my eyes while i drew this
here's the post where i got the references from

first batch of commissions done! ^^ )/
funniest orv scene maybe is jhw finally not having to work within the good/evil morality restrictions and instead getting to execute people based off of who the groupchat thinks should die
“I thought, ‘As long as I can make them laugh, it doesn’t matter how, I’ll be alright. If I succeed in that, the human beings probably won’t mind it too much if I remain outside their lives. The one thing I must avoid is becoming offensive in their eyes: I shall be nothing, the wind, the sky.’ My activities as jester, a role born of desperation, were extended even to the servants, whom I feared even more than my family because I found them incomprehensible.”
