I like to imagine V1 had no concept of actions having consequences before this mission

Pranking the machine (GONE WRONG)
Shut up the homicidal robots are smooching
Someone plz help him
thinking about V1 having that fear of death. thinking of how they're like most of the other robots in Hell that are out after blood for survival.
thinking about how the Style system might not just be a way to get new weapons and upgrades but also to train their survival skills and even as a coping mechanism to make the whole experience of Fucking Dying be Fun and Bearable.
thinking about how while Prime Levels are fun extra challenges for us as players, that it might be required and canon for V1. are they scared? are they also fearful of how challenging they are, of seeing enemies turn Sanded because that's now less grains of sand in their shrinking hourglass? do they feel sorry, for the robots they kill that are just like them, just as desperate and scared? for the Prime Souls, who seemed just as trapped as they do in their fates?
does V1 fear the end of their journey? who created them, really? humans? humans they could've cared about before the need for blood and life outweighed the need for companionship? god? god, who could be guiding V1 as a true weapon to fix Their mistake then kill Them? Hell? does Hell just want to watch V1 suffer, in exchange for endless blood? does V1 care anymore about suffering - theirs, others, it doesn't matter - if it means they can live?
did they ever care? do they, still? even if they don't want to? even if they can't afford to?
I tried to make a fanart of V1 tickling Gabriel
I don't know how to draw Gabriel very well, but I tried my best
It's kind of sad there isn't much content from (ULTRAKILL tickle)
i love drawing this guy actually
stupid thing. got covered in stickers. some tiny virtue baby is cheering just out of frame
can you come collect your freak of a man please. Heโs doing things
some more dragonfly V1
did you know that dragonflies have a 95% kill rate? you gotta be really lucky to survive an encounter with one... in the insect world of course:]
DANCE ROBOT DANCE
he sounds ok
[Start ID. A digital drawing of Gabriel and V1 from Ultrakill in super-saturated, pixellated colors. It seemingly takes place during phase two of his second fight, judging by Gabe's bright yellow-cyan wings and the consequent blush shining through his helmet. Gabriel is pictured on the left, facing the left side of the screen with his head turned to V1, preparing to strike them with the bloodied spear in his right hand. Small but frequent splatters of blood dot his armor and outstretched wings, fabrics torn through in places. V1 is on the right, aiming its piercer revolver at his face. Their arms are stacked in pairs on either side, idle Feedbacker and Knuckleblaster on the left and Whiplash tucked atop their default arm on the right. Both parties are stylized to resemble insects, Gabe with beetle wings and a halo in the shape of antennae, and V1 with the four wings, four arms, short antennae and bristles expected of a dragonfly. End ID]
woah.... happy 1 year anniversary to gay people
also a couple alts (background removed, just gabe, and just v1, respectively) in hopes it'll be a little easier to understand what's going on and all!
additionally once again: special thanks to @magnumopos and @muzzleroars , neither of which I have actually spoken to in my life but both of which are credited with partially inspiring this! (dedicated section under the readmore due to the fact I do not generally tag people at all ever and wasn't sure if I should, but thought it was worth mentioning!) The former for giving me the wonderful idea of dragonfly V1, the latter for drawing V1 like a strange little creature + for the feedbacker plate, I enjoy both your works :]
(retroactively, on march 27th of 2024, assigning them a full bingo with credit to deep-space-lines. ehehehehe)
cant believe every single ultrakill character is trans. happy pride
NO FUCKING WAY
my take on an angel v1 design
[Start ID. A doodle of V1 and the Flesh Prison from ULTRAKILL. V1 is shooting volleys of nails in the general direction of the Flesh Prison, whilst very harriedly running around and attempting to dodge its numerous attacks. Next to it is a thought bubble reading "I AM IN HELL". The Flesh Prison's healthbar is displayed at the top, and the text "You are here" by the very right end of it displays the futility of V1's efforts to deal any lasting damage. End ID]
aka "i thought this was the kind of boss fight where you're supposed to stay alive and wait for something to help you" aka "guess who p-ranked eight levels in one day and is suffering the consequences" aka "help."
