I have no clue what's going on

My friend got tumblr and i wanted to follow him so im here now

Subnautica: Below Zero is a story about loss, trust, and hope.

After finishing my most recent playthrough of Below Zero, while I was constructing AL-AN's vessel, I realized that there are some pretty major parallels between AL-AN and Sam that I think might tie in more to the story than previously thought. I had always felt Sam and AL-AN's stories were unusually disconnected. Still, after giving a little more thought, I think the parallels play a vital role in Robin's decision to go along with constructing AL-AN's vessel.

Both Sam and AL-AN caused terrible accidents by attempting to solve an issue in a way they thought would be best. They work under a very similar archetype in which a typically composed and rule-following character is stressed due to external pressures. Pushed into taking action. Sam caused Parvan's death and her own by disobeying orders from Alterra and trying to exterminate the last of the Kharaa. AL-AN caused the Kharaa to escape in the first place by doing a similar insubordinate action. Ignoring the directive from his network.

They not only both caused accidents resulting in deaths, but both revolved around ignoring a higher order involving the Kharaa bacterium. Doing something they thought would make a difference under extreme pressure. Irrational thinking ultimately causing disaster.

If you complete Sam's storyline first, it will lead you, the player, into be more open with feeling sympathetic towards AL-AN despite him manipulating Robin. Mostly because it is obvious he is extremely ashamed and is dealing with the sorrow of (potentially) losing his entire species. Though also because it is reminiscent of Sam.

But it is not just you who sympathizes with AL-AN; it is Robin herself as well.

Robin is dealing with a similar sorrow of losing her sister—who was everything to her—because Sam did what she thought would be right. She shares things with AL-AN, assuring him even when she is unsure of him. She knows he is going through his own hardships. Deciding to promote hope even in a time where it seems unlikely. After AL-AN admits to Kharaa getting out on his watch, Robin understands to a degree and offers to help AL-AN because she couldn’t help Sam.

AL-AN himself most likely understands this.

AL-AN begins to open up and trust Robin after she shares the Emily Dickinson poem. After she has this interaction with him, he often attempts to be more understanding with her. He is choosing to imitate Robin's hope. He does not fully understand human social customs, but he can recognize when Robin is conflicted about Sam's death. Even trying in his own way to comfort her. He is dealing with loss as well. Even if he doesn't outwardly show vulnerability until they talk in the Fabrication Facility.

AL-AN knows Robin is going through loss as well. The person she lost did something similar to him, and yet she does not blame Sam. Grief does not go away, but the wound gets smaller over time. She is relieved to get closure to Sam's story even if it still hurts.

If they hadn’t had the conversation about closure after Robin finished Sam's work via curing the Frozen Leviathan, then AL-AN probably wouldn't have revealed what he did at all. He didn’t have to, but he did because they had developed trust. He is, of course, reluctant when doing so, as he is afraid he won’t get his autonomy, yet he does despite it being illogical. Acknowledging his actions even when he predicted she’d be angry. Despite his shame, he chooses to place trust in Robin even when it could result in her pulling away. He trusts that she won't.

Below Zero is such a good story about loss and learning how to cope with that loss despite it still hurting. Learning to trust even when the odds of the circumstances are against you. It is a story about hope.

I adore this game so much

An actual introduction?????

Hi! I'm Beebo and I'm a little goob who didn't make an account for the longest time because I do everything in my power to avoid making accounts for shit unless I absolutely have to. My hyperfixations/likes: -Blue Exorcist -The Case Study of Vanitas -Baldur's Gate III -Percy Jackson -Genshin Impact -vampires and faeries (in general) (i just like weird folklore) -Gravity Falls (toxic old man yaoi) (they are divorced and hate each other) -recently I've gotten into Seraph of the End and i HATE IT (i love it. it feeds my inner 12 y/o) -The Owl House -English vocaloid (GHOST, R.I.P. Vane, whatever else I find thats good) -Funky music (Will Wood, Lemon Demon, tallyhall) -Sexy villain music (Shayfer James but SPECIFICALLY Counterfeit Arcade bc im too scared to listen to his other stuff. Also Necromancin Dancin by Bear Ghost but I havent listened to any of their other shit so do they really count?) -Subnautica My little brain goobers (oc's) (please talk to me about them I'm constantly foaming at the mouth about them and I love to talk to people about my brain worms): -Grim & Iris (also known as my worldbuilding project): Human girl meets the grim twink reaper and ends up in another dimension that's kind of the afterlife and also kind of like a weird version of Olympus but not really -Viktor and Cecil: Just some oc's i made once that have consumed me entirely. Viktor is an anxious emotionally wet vampire and Cecil is a silly goofy monsterfucker who gets reincarnated every time they die but they resurrect at the same age and everyone around them just acts like they were always there (think Jason Grace memory situation at the start of HOO) -Dream OC's: A group of fuckers I had a dream about within the last week or so. Only 4 characters (Sebastian the witch, Damien the tiefling, Carmen the vampire, and Lana the human). No clue what im gonna do with them but hey! they exist! i'll yap about them!

i love how everybody just *sees vampire* BEEBO!! BEEBO! BEEBOOO!!! but YES! hot 1920's vampires women!!! me likey!!!!!

Vampire party. Found this one in my older art folders.

so im playing bg3 again after a week and a half of wanting to but feeling like I can't and i am once again realizing that astarion's sexy bait extends to the people (including me) who bought the game.

hes hot because that gets people interested in him so he can lure them away. HE'S HOT AND PEOPLE GOT INTERESTED IN HIM AND BOUGHT THE GAME

i realize its not a super profound thing but its like damn. his strategy breaks the 4th wall

the tall spindly anxious vaguely insectoid man strikes again

Sorry I’ve been inactive! I’m sick and there’s an exam marathon spewing it’s pure wrath upon me, so I haven’t been able to get as many Subnautica related ideas out!

Take this drawing of AL I made before I created this tumblr account for good measure, it’s not the best because it was a little rushed and for my Instagram story but I really like the colors.

does anyone else feel violated every time they see an old spice ad because if i see any more unsolicited toes im killing someone

so i got volume 30 of aoex and im reminded how much i fucking love Lewin "WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER💥🦅‼️‼️" Light because honestly hes the most American american ive ever seen in anime and i would not trust him to be within 100 washing machines of a school (because he would actively try traumatizing the kids)

wisely or whatever i didnt read the manga
