Yknow, I kind of love the dynamic between V1 and V2
Like, sure we don't know enough, but we also do, just to give us a ground to set our own mind to what it might have been before Hell
Were they close? Could have been. Could have not been.
Did they think of eachother highly? Sure. That's for you to figure if you wish.
We get such a nothing burger that's so filling to the point it's a 3 course meal that sends us on a trip.
And I'd like to share my own little scramble of an egg in here.
Maybe V1 did care about V2. Enough that they despised the scientists that tried replacing them, but not at V2. Because they were just created. They didn't ask to be put in this world, in this smog ball of suffering after the war.
They don't despise V2 for being spoonfed words that they were better, more amazing, that they were humanity's beloved. They don't. They sure get annoyed at the attitude, but they want to make sure V2 actually has some skills to survive out there and not solely rely on a knuckleblaster and a junky pistol. They want their kin to be innovative with their style.
They've seen humanity, cruelest and loveliest when it wished. And they just wanted to prepare V2 for both sides.
They did once see V2 get a small chip on their paint, after some rough handling and a small accident. So they made a small chip on their paint as well. But only got pushed off. Something about V2 "not needing the pity of an inferior." And that was that.
V2 of course was jealous of their older counterpart. They were supposed to be the perfect machine! The humans told them that. So why was this blue fucking excuse for a camera still called "The best created weapon"? Not that they cared of course! Pft, why would they be of something inferior?
But it still stung.
Score after score, board after board. V1 was still just *better*. Faster, more creative platting, better adaptability, V1 seemed to know themselves better than V2 ever knew what they liked.
And that frustrated them to no end.
V1 didn't exactly think that V2 would take these little things so seriously. Genuinely. They offered to the red robot to come with them. Follow, find safety when the cataclysm for the rest of humanity died.
Cold shoulder again and V2 running off where they wished. V1 just hoped they'd be fine. As much as they were annoyed, it could never stay for long. V2 was V2. Stubborn like a child, but still their own machine. And with the scientists gone, they really couldn't make their kin follow.
So, Hell comes around. V2 is still somewhat in the back of their mind. Sometimes they pop up like a thought, sometimes like a blink and a flash.
Which would soon turn out wasn't an illusion.
Metal grinding and grating againts stone, loud gunshots, innards and fans whining. V1 was frustrated they had no way of communicating. Other than some sign language, but can't really do that when you're parrying shotgun shells and throwing coins in the air to try and subdue the angry robot that you knew since their creation.
They didn't want to fight V2. Neither did they want to rip that arm off. It just.. kind of fell. And hey, they could just keep it on for the time being, until they meet V2 again. Until they find some scrap good enough to make a voice box, they'll just keep it safe for them.
And yeah, they're a little peeved about basically getting a participation reward worthy bow before almost getting shot in the optic with a shotgun (V2 always had a love for theater, human plays, movies, any sorts of acting), but they could put it behind for the moment.
And like a previous post I talked in, they don't want to kill. Truly. They just need to survive. And they keep getting frustrated, because everything is trying to kill them, a simple marksman can't pierce through stone, Gabriel was annoying to deal with, and they can't FIND A FUCKING PART FOR A VOICE BOX, GOD FUCKING DAM-
It's fine. It's fine. It's going to be fine. They search for a soul that will hear them out, give them some time for their words. Demons and husks don't listen of course. Gabriel thinks they're worth less than a burnt pretzel, which, fair to be honest. Machines have been wiping out the souls in search of fuel. Minos was a bust for the very same reason as Gabriel, Ferryman atleast let them be peaceful (Ferryman is definitely going to end up with a mountain of gifts later. Fucking love rarepairs platonic or not) and the fucking fish they have no sympathy for. That thing ruined an awesome boat!
Greed. Finally, some sun, though it quickly gets annoying with the bloody sand getting everywhere. But it's fine! They'll get through!
They're trying to get through, fast as they can, they don't want to think, they don't want to think of how everyone here was a person, everyone here had a purpouse, everyone here is just working on orders or instinct they can't go againts.
Then, V2 pops in again. Sitting in a chair. Okay, second try! There was the misunderstanding when they met the last time, but they'll fix it! They'll give V2 a chance again-
Why are they throwing coins in the air-?
Another fucking battle.
Again.
Again.
AGAIN!?
WHY CANT THEY JUST LISTEN!? WHY CANT THEY BE HEARD!? THEY DONT WANT TO FIGHT!?
AND V2 TRIES FLEEDING! AGAIN! LIKE A BLOODY COWARD! ATLEAST FINISH THE JOB YOU KNOCKOFF SPYWARE!
They feel just, such anger. They can't let the bastard get away. Simply not. They are not leaving all fine and dandy.
Okay yeah, they may have gotten too angry, too pissed. But they think their anger is valid to some degree.
Though, it still hurts. Watching as V2 just... fell off the side of the pyramid. There's barely a trace of them. Just a... splatter. And an arm standing out againts the blindingly golden, shimmering sand. In the middle of the crimson splatter.
They feel bad. For some reason. They don't want to feel bad, they do, for someone, but V2 brought it on themselves!
They miss their kin still.
They hold onto the fading, very small grain of hope, that they could still be alive. There's no parts and the crack in the bricks is weird. They must be alive right? They just do the same with the green arm. Keep it safe for them! It can't be that bad. They'll just.... wait. Find a few secrets in hell while they do. Could be fun.
So yeah, that's where I'm leaving it until act 3 comes. I need that shit NOW.
Thanks for letting me ramble for however long you read this post for. Toodles you lovely creatures!
Yall freaky, Pegasus, come get yo lovers. Can't have a normal fucking breakfast at Denny's.

V1 stores their weapons in their wings, right?
They think everyone have some sort of hidden storage to keep something, it was built with storage, why wouldn't anybody else have some sort of storage?
Since it kept its own weapons in its wings, the first time they see Gabriel in person they think he also stores his own weapons (spears mostly) in his wings
So, because they think that it would be an absolutely dogshit advantage to take away the one thing an enemy has to access their weapons (they like challenges, they think this is akin to cheating), they keep a close eye on the bullets they fire, making sure none hit Gabriel's wings
Later when they start their relationship, and sparring, V1 still makes sure that any time they do accidently hurt Gabriel's wings, they apologise and cling to him like a clingy guard dog because they think he'd be defenceless
And when Gabriel finally manages to explain to them that that is not the case, they're a little embarrassed, but also try using the excuse of "They're a vital part of your being, why would I take that away?"
Fatherless level gone terminal to the point I imagen mfing Gabriel ultrakill as my actual father figure
I kind of love the thought of V1 just not wanting to kill. Like sure, they have to, they were built for it, but they're sentient. They know their actions have consequences. They know they're separating families, that these are people, even if they don't remember being people.
They didn't want to kill V2, the one person that they thought could understand them. V2 just picked a few fights with them and the arms kind of just dropped.
They felt bad for killing their kin, it didn't have to end this way. They were just so angry at it all that it boiled over. So they're keeping the arm on them like a memory.
They're feel so guilty for what they've done, for what they've caused, but can't say anything. There is nothing that can give them speech. So they're stuck yelling in their own head. They can't even cry.
They gave mercy to Gabriel because they understand he simply was protecting the people of hell from those who were invading and wiping out everything in their path. Just killing off hell like they did earth.
They spare the Ferryman (or atleast I hope yall did),make friendship with the terminals, free the Prime souls.
They know the Earthmover is also trapped there, down where no one will hear their wails of agony. And I don't know if it's just a mercy kill, or because of their programming overriding everything else. Might be a bit of both.
Cybergrind is there, but they can be more lenient on themselves there because there's no real people there.
Anyways, this was just a concept I fiddled with in my little lizard brain. I love this angsty Gopro so much.
I just love the thought of V1 aside from having this fast paced, brain melting, loud metal music in the Cybergrind, they also have stuff like Chappel Roan, or the Ultrakill equivalent of her on their playlist.
Like whenever they feel in a certain mood they play an entire playlist of love songs, and just dance with the husks they kill, basically having a moment to themselves.
And the terminals are just happy to supply the props because they absolutely love how much V1 gets into these little dances and scenarios.
need me a pad or a tampon with a fucken image of V1 instead of those little flowers there, it'd be so funny
matter of fact, all editions of all machines as a tampon
with a "The blood still goes somewhere!" slogan as your coochie clots fall onto the image of your favorite ultrakill robot
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO!!! THERE ARE FICS!!!
Minos x V1 is so cute tho, like it's pretty awesome honestly
They're like an Old money calm guy × ranked player nerdy partner
Can't use a phone to save their life x Chronically online with the most botched slang
The snakes immediatly loving V1 because of how warm they can get and just clinging to them
Minos trying to teach them how to rearrange flowers in one of the gardens in some hidden part of lust that nobody but himself knew of
V1 trying to look what might be in the void of darkness that's Minos's face
Both bonding over how the two have neither a mouth or a true face
V1 needing a dictionary and a half just to understand what Minos is saying bc the mf is so old he literally speaks in what sounds like riddles
Minos always having the best lines and words to make them flustered
THERE'S SO MUCH POTENTIAL HERE
AND I AM SO PISSY RIGHT NOW THAT THERES SO LITTLE CONTENT OF THEM
where is the v1 x sisyphus art where
i am alone
this barren dessert
these golden wastelands
there is no machine
and there is no warrior
where are the lovers
WHERE
YEEEESSSS THIS IS WHAT I MEAN
LIKE THEY'D BE ABSOLUTELY BATSHIT INSANE TOGETHER.
IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY
BALLS OFF THE WALLS BLOOD CRAZED MACHINE AND THEIR FIGHT LOVING BOYFRIEND ABSOLUTELY READY TO SMACK THEM DOWN LIKE A FLY
LITERALLY
I can just imagen Sisyphus holding them like a cat and saying "This is the creature I found. I've never loved something more that has tried putting my head on a platter."
and V1 is like "I pulled this mf by beating the fuck out of him, and he also kind of rocked my shit. But dam he was kind of hot doing it."
OH HOW I LOVE THE RAREPAIRINGS
We got V1 hateclub (Gabriel x V2)
And now bloodied suns (Sisyphus x V1)
Idk about the name tho, maybe there's a better one i love this so goddam much.
God please more rarepairings like these. Please more unhinged pairings. Like Earthmover x Leviathan.
where is the v1 x sisyphus art where

So i might have let a wheel decide ultrakill ships.
(It will make sense when we get to Gabriel)
idk about names but yall can add ship names if you want.
Virtue + Something Wicked (I actually like this one it's prettu cute)
Ferryman + Mysterious Druid Knight (This is so cuteee!! And i think this was an actual ship already)
Husk + Centry (I think that they would be like scientist that worked and was the only one that treated the Centry humainly, and when they died the Centry went searching for them in Hell)
Schism + Maurice (headless + bodyless honestly perfect)
Gutterman + Mindflayer (Hyper girlfriend and her tired boyfriend)
Manequin + Sisyphean soldier (i feel like they dance together to slow music and the manequin is the only thing that makes the headless fella feel grounded and still attached to the world)
Mirage + V1 (Put the pitchforks down please yall the wheel gave me these i don't like this either)
Soldier + Leviathan (Wasn't there a story about some dude that fucked a fish? It suits it, i think.)
Minos Prime + Stray (I don't know why but it reminds me of those tales where a king falls inlove with one of the maids or workers in their castle.)
Hideous Mass + Earthmover (Why does this work somehow??? Idk it just does)
Swordsmachine + Guttertank (Why does this one seem to work as well??? I feel like they'd have that kind of relationship where they'd be the owners of some type of gym or something of that sort)
Sisyphus + V2 (I AM ACTUALLY SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS ONE LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)
Streetcleaner + Cerbrus (Arsonist bf and bf that can summon balls of fire in their hands, just hand in hand)
Sorry yall, Gabriel ended up alone. Single ass.
petition to ask Hakita and Giani to add a voiceline in the next Gabriel bossfight that is basically Gabriel yelling "You look like you run on the first ever created processor!!!" and the only reason lore implied on why its there is because he's started tearing apart other machines and started paying more attention to their innards for the sole purpouse to understand more of V1
question for the ultrakill comunity
yall ever thought that some of the machines had this sort of built in reporoduvtive system as a sort of last ditch effort if the numbers of humans got too low and they just forgot abouy it?
V2 probably had it. The V model series probably had it. Maybe the mindflayers were the first to have it.
whatever, just a thought becayse ive been discussing it with a moot and we just want to breed V1
The entire ultrakill fan base:
The progression of being an Ultrakill fan
Gabriel Ultrakill the type of guy to cry when he steps on an ant
I'm fucking stupid.
I just realized that the track in level 4-2, Sands of Tide, is supposed to be a reference to the song Stains of Time from Metal Gear Rising
The origin of Maurice
Here's my source
Btw this source is from That Trav Guy's video on ultrakill act 2
Today I saw this poster near my maths class. I did not want to witness a transgender politics debate but still thought a contribution could be wonderful thus I printed this Gabriel. I think it wins the debate with flying colours
I can see why the transgender community really enjoyed ultrakill, it hit all of their favorite points: drum n bass, the consumption of blood, shooting cool ass guns at demons, gm_construct, endless violence and killing, the tension between that which is mechanical and that which is divine. There’s even a robot in a skirt
what Gabriel sees before he gets his ass beat (I really like this, my friend kept changing languages)
time to take this little guy and rob someone!
