Quite morning☕️

Bonus under the cut, if you want to have something sad :>

Yes, I tried to replicate the holographic effect Zenith tech has… did I fail? Yes, miserably

Meanwhile, let's find out how Aloy ended up knowing about Allora and being in the current situation.

P.S. Those pages were super hard. That's why it's been so long since my last update. :(

I LOST the asset on SOLO MISSION in ABANDONED LAB! (I Died?!)

Verbena's final livestream, in which she misplaces company property and goes out guns blazing.

Horizon Forbidden West - 1

Did a quick outfit redesign for my Far Zenith chara, Jessamine "Jessie" Tellamir. I'll eventually get around to setting up a backstory for her.

Corruption in the Code

When Specters in-game are defeated, pools of golden nanites pool at detached components. What if they were absorbed into Aloy’s body and then activated by an unknown signal, turning her into a Zenith.

ahh hi !! i've never written anything for horizon before and i haven't read too many other things from the fandom so there's a strong chance this has already been written but i can't get tilda and lis out of my head so !!!

“What the hell do you mean you’re not coming with?”  Tilda whispered, her forehead crinkling.

Elisabet could hardly look her in the eye as she spoke, “I have to stay here, Tilda.  Zero Dawn-” The blonde leaned back with a scoff, “Of course.”

“What?”

“It’s only ever about Zero Dawn with you now,” Tilda explains angrily, “I never see you and you’re always working.  If you’re not and I finally get time with you, you spend it all saying you need to get back to work,” it was starting to truly bother her that Elisabet couldn’t even manage to look at her throughout the entire ordeal.

Lis barks a laugh of disbelief, “You can’t be serious, Tilda.  I’m working my ass off to save the world and you’re saying I’m not paying enough attention to you?”  She knew Tilda could be irrational, but this?  This was unreal.

Tilda waves her hands around frantically, “Look around you, Lis!  It’s the end of the world!  You will die if you stay here!   Zero Dawn will be fine without you,” she runs her fingers through her hair in an attempt to stay calm.  When Elisabet still doesn’t seem even remotely convinced to go, Tilda pleads, “I need you there.  I don’t want to go if you’re not there with me.”

“Then don’t,” Lis challenges quietly.

It’s once again Tilda’s turn to be in disbelief over what the other was saying.  “You.. want me to stay in a bunker with you?”

The redhead doesn’t seem so certain as she nods, “Mhm.  Stay.”

Was Tilda supposed to believe that Lis had gone from distancing herself to wanting to spend the rest of their natural lives together in some bunker?  She wanted to.  She did.  Lis was always a woman to speak her mind and Tilda knew she wouldn’t lie about something like this.

“I need to stay here,” Elisabet continues, “I need to make sure nothing goes wrong.  So stay.  If you really want to be with me, stay.”

Tears well in Tilda’s eyes as she speaks, “I… I can’t, Lis.  I can’t stay on a planet I know is doomed.  Not when there’s another option.”

“And I can’t leave,” Elisabet’s voice cracks and she has to quickly wipe at her eyes before Tilda can see her cry.

“I love you,” Tilda says.  A last attempt at salvaging the only feeling of love she’s had since she was a child.

Elisabet makes way for the door, unable to face Tilda when she whispers a shaky goodbye.

I'm making this its own post rather than reblogging my other one about the HADES facility, that seems to reach more people, and this is important. Let's talk about our main antagonists, and their reveal. Spoilers for a lot throughout this post, including some major twists and the ending of Forbidden West.

I'm going to start by giving general reactions throughout the reveal cutscene, then move into more specific thoughts.

Firstly, they can open a gene-locked hatch. Sylens doesn't even plan for this, he has no way of knowing they had the ability to create Beta. Her reveal is well done, giving us an immediate idea of their capabilities, but hiding her allegiances.

Then, we have the clearly advanced robots, much more fluid than the machines we deal with.

I love the contrast between the white that Beta wears here, and the armor that I have Aloy in (Shadow Stalker, of course).

First sight of Tilda. I am terribly face blind, so that didn't faze me any more than the voice did, but I'm sure many people recognized her at that point.

I like the introduction of the Zeniths here. They immediately give them a dynamic, made them threatening, but leave enough mystery that promises more. I wish they delivered better.

The boss fight. The concept is interesting. But it has next to no difficulty on Ultra Hard, the worst of his attacks don't even two shot me, and his ranged attacks are truly pitiful. I get that they don't want you to get stuck in a story mission, but like. I chose Ultra Hard, let me get my ass beat please. I want to be scared of them, and that fight didn't do the job.

What does do the job is the Specters, and the fleeing. It's a masterful sequence, and their attacks hurt an appropriate amount.

I love how ultimately what screws Aloy over isn't truly the Zenith, or the Specters. Its the facility falling apart, its almost drowning. It's making a bad call, as everyone does every so often.

And then we get Aloy attempting to "recover" (read immediately try and get herself killed out of shear stubbornness). This is just a masterful scene, introducing us to Utaru culture, showing off Aloy's smarts that she does have when she decides to listen instead of running face first into danger. We get to see Varl, who has clearly been building connections, trying to find allies for the cause. He's been here for awhile, or at least in theory. The game tells us it's been two days, which I don't really buy. It's a tough line here, as really any amount of unconsciousness in reality would be real bad for Aloy, but there needs to be time for Zo and Varl's relationship to build. They probably needed more time for the latter, especially if they want a kiss here. It works great otherwise, but the kiss feels early for them, even if its good for Aloy's arc.

I love Varl trying to translate for Aloy, and Aloy completely struggling to be unable to help. It's badly needed. And we get Aloy being truly genuine with her friend, feeling that this is something she can never have for herself. It's not even really about romance at this point I think, it's about connection.

Alright, general thoughts. This quest is (mostly) very strong. It's great for the both the character and larger plots, introduces our new antagonists, who cannot be stopped by just Aloy's bow and spear, and her stubbornness. Here is a foe, like HADES, that she can't just stab and fix. In theory, this is all great...

But we know where it ends. As I hinted at above, I don't like the Zeniths, I don't like this story line, and I have real problems with their characters (not you Beta, you can stay). We'll talk more in detail as we near the end of the game, but the problem is pretty basic. None of them, except Tilda, are given any amount of depth whatsoever. Tilda has her own issues, we'll cover her later, but with both Eric and even worse Gerard, we will never learn anything meaningfully more than this quest about either of them. Eric is a sadist, and Gerard. Is the leader I guess? He's even weaker than Eric, which is saying something.

This is made far worse by following Ted Faro, one of the best villains in just about anything I've seen or played. People (including me) hate Ted Faro, but I also understand him. I see him reflected in the real world, Faro is driven by pride and ego, and the desire to protect those two things above all else. Gerard and Eric are given none of the depth that Ted has, and to be clear Ted is not a deep character, he's simply an extremely effective villain. They are just, in the end, too close to Faro, and given nothing to do. When they do something I hate, I don't get mad at them, I get mad at the writing. And that is a true failure of a character, to me.

Hi there! It's been a while since I last posted a new chapter of my comic. I apologize for the delay, as it took me a few months to complete it. There were some challenges along the way, but I'm hoping to be more productive in the future.

Here is a link to the previous installment, and all other installments of this comic can be found on the same page. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no way to create an album in Tumblr :(
