Based On A Doodle I Did In Class. Might Come Back And Add A Background But Wabam. Ryley Robinson

Better look at AL-AN walking after he is transfered into his vessel

live laugh love? nah, bite scream growl

A removed conversation between Robin and AL-AN that remains in the games audio files.

It’s a very interesting interaction, but I do see why they opted to leave it out. Though it is nice to see a longer conversation between them. Especially one where they talk out their reasonings for differing views, and one where Robin ends up expressing empathy for AL-AN.

Transcript under the cut

AL-AN: Thank you for undertaking the quest for an alternative storage medium.

Robin: I would really love it if you could stop referring to me as a storage medium.

A: Not you. Your body.

R: My body is a significant part of who I am and how I experience life.

A: It is different for us.

R: Clearly. Or you wouldn’t have been hanging out in that sanctuary waiting to hitch a ride with me.

R: How did you get in there anyway?

A: We came here in search of a cure for the Kharaa bacterium.

R: What? Thousands of years ago?

A: I do not experience time as you do, but yes, that is technically correct.

A: My body was infected before a vaccine could be developed. I uploaded my consciousness to the sanctuary for storage.

R: What happened to the others?

A: Some left, others perished. Over time my connection to them grew weaker… I cannot sense them now.

R: AL-AN… I—

[missing piece of dialogue]

R: Yes okay, but— what I was going to say was… I’m sorry.

A: …Why? You have done nothing wrong.

R: Not sorry like an apology. Sorry like I feel empathy.

A: Are all your human languages so… confusing?

R: All the ones I know are.

to me the appeal of pathetic vampires is similar to the appeal of stupid cats. you have the teeth and claws to rip through flesh to your heart's content, but here you are. paw stuck to a quilt. staring woefully with eyes the size of saucers to get someone to help. same goes for a vampire failing miserably to use a touchscreen because his fingers are too cold.

some subnautica doodles from the last month-ish (including the original sketch of that riley w/ stalker egg one :D)

I love being delusional because I went to my first con yesterday and got a bunch of shit and I was just yknow walkin around and A CERTAIN MOTHERFUCKER catches my eye so I do a double take to make sure it was him and then I dropped $25 on an original artwork of Astarion

chat i think i just had the most depressing single-person touch-starved thought ever: making/buying cosplays of characters you're attracted to to feel like you stole their clothes

are we just not supposed to question why the aurora had a shit ton of submersibles on it that dont seem to have any kind of other use outside of the water (such as like an actual spaceship) and then conveniently crashed on an entirely ocean planet

Edit: I now know that skimming the non-audio logs is not sufficient for lore purposes

"What the fuck does a hoe need silk touch for- oh"

on earth: it must be so loney on mars. i wonder what's going on in his head mark watney: *elevator music*
