#i'm not a scientist whatsoever

the way i feel matt's radar interacts with peter's spider sense is matt's radar puts out a vibration subtle enough that most people can't pick it up, but peter can because he's part spider.

[arcxnumvitae]

Daileas is precisely that type of scientist archetype in movies that fucks around a little too much and so everyone ends up finding out because of it.

Pretending like biological sex isn't real is ridiculously stupid. You say that you believe in science but you think that humans are the one primate to not have two sexes?

Also stop using intersex people as pawns, it's actually offensive

a) I'm intersex. what is with tumblr anons and assuming I'm not in a particular group I talk about with experience? Ffs. First ableism now this.

b) Biological sex *isn't* real. It's a model. Much as species aren't real. Yes, there are "two sexes", but sexual characteristics don't form two pillars on either end they form a reverse bell curve, with much variation in the middle.

c) I don't believe in science. I know science. I am a scientist. which means I know it's not as simple as "two sexes" for any organism whatsoever.

nice try.

The way they all enter The Sedgewick Hotel when they are sent to catch Slimer again says so much about them.

Venkman immediately draws as much attention as possible by shouting as soon as he steps into the hotel, making everyone in the lobby stare at the them. This shows that Venkman is concerned about promoting and image not a service, he wants everyone to see them and know who they are. Also by shouting he also shows that the he doesn't really care about the client and their wishes as he publicly announces in the busiest bit of the hotel that they've got a ghost. This could show that Venkman has a not a lot of emotional intelligence as he could not figure out that the client wouldn't want this but I think it primarily shows that he only cares about the fame and attention as he literally has everyone's attention as soon as he steps into the building.

Ray also likes the attention as he smiles when Venkman shouts. However, he knows that there is a job at hand and asks sensible questions, showing that he is still a scientist not just an attention seeker. But Ray lies to the client. He says that they handle these things all the time, which they don't as this is their first time capturing a ghost. This could imply that Ray is just as concerned about the image as Venkman, as he doesn't want them to seem inadequate, but it could also show that Ray is emotionally intelligent because if the client knew that they hadn't done this before he would panic. The emotional intelligence of Ray can be added to by the fact he only expresses his concerns once they are out of the way of everyone. He says that they haven't had a successful test of the equipment in the lift, where no one's around. This might be to save people from panicking or it might be to keep an image of competence.

And then there is Egon. As soon as Venkman shouts he rolls his eyes, knowing that all the attention is now on them and probably because he knew Venkman was going to do it but he hoped he wouldn't as he wanted to keep a low profile. After that a woman walks across the screen and stares at all three of them. Venkman loves the attention, Ray likes it but Egon just gives her judgemental looks while looking uncomfortable. In that small frame of time it's completely obvious that Egon hates attention and fame, he wants nothing to do with it as it makes him uncomfortable shown by the fact he taps his fingers constantly. It's also obvious that he is basically the only true scientist there as he's the only one who asks a useful question that could help them, as finding out if Slimer has been reported before could mean that there is already information on him. It's also shown that he is the only true scientist as he's the only one who is checking out the environment (probably assessing how much damage they are going to cause) but he takes everything into account, like a scientist should. Egon is just concerned about the job.

Another important factor is how they all followed Janine's orders and requests from the client. The orders were that they'd be totally descreet and in simple terms this is what they do:

Venkman ignores them (he shouts before they've even spoken to the client and after they've caught Slimer)

Ray partly follows them (he shouts when they've caught Slimer and shows off the trap but is mostly descreet)

Egon follows them completely (he does absolutely no shouting whatsoever and barely talks)

This scene just proves the actual motives of each one of them when I'm the Ghostbusters uniform.

So I've been thinking about Axle's early past a bit.. uhhh

Yeah here are a few doodles and a sketch. Along with a small bit of Axle's early childhood life. I got carried away

Just some simple doodles of Axle's childhood. He technically grew up in a lab although he wasn't born in captivity. Most of his early childhood was doing puzzles or tests, lots of observation as well.

His development is similar to that of a human in terms of brain growth and physical form. He grows at about the same rate as a human just on a far smaller scale.

For the most part in his younger years he mostly did cognitive testing and development. They mostly used simple tests, and some general animal psychology experiments. Such as seeing what he did for fun, for food, and some logical reasoning.

The odd time the scientists still would do a surgery or two on a young Axle, but it wasn't the norm at that time.

However as time went on they began to do more invasive tests.

Axle had always liked the scientists growing up, as he was younger he'd seen them as a sort of family, having favorites and having preferred caretakers. But at the age of about 12 years old even the nicer caretakers had begun to grow sour.

People were being more careful around him, using gloves more often, constricting his movements more often, and other things of the sort which Axle noticed.

The experiments eventually began to get more invasive, such as when he was 13 he had his first brain vivisection specifically. It was a procedure to place wires into his brain to do more invasive tests on his nervous system.

He tried asking more questions, which quickly he learned would get him nowhere. Soon even the nice humans he'd barely see anymore or they would just leave all together. It was at the age of 13 he'd decided he didn't like the humans or how they kept him captured. He didn't know what else there could be, but he knew from the little bits and pieces he was able to listen to that there had to be more than the lab.

At the age of 14 Axle was being treated more like the mice he'd been raised with than a person that the scientists would talk to passively. Axle only grew more resentful as the months went on and the rotation of scientists got more harsh.

At 16 he was being treated as though he was completely feral. He refused to cooperate with the humans but they would refuse to let him feel like he had any form of control over the situation whatsoever.

Ok so this was just a doodle that got out of hand and colored. It's not great but it's the best I got rn. I'm pretty stressed out lol

Anyways. Axle had a pretty traumatic upbringing, but it did teach him to never trust humans which was probably the best thing he could have learned for when he did eventually escape one day.

He did have his mother with him at one point in captivity, but one day she disappeared and he never really figured out what happened to her. Current Day Axle likes to think she managed to escape one day and was free somewhere.

Axle after that day grew up around mice, usually a circulation of mice that were young enough not to be a danger to Axle. But this really took a toll on him when eventually all his mice friends would get taken away and he'd have to get attached to new friends all over again.

Sometimes the scientists would have him do experiments alongside grown mice, sometimes he would remember them but usually not. Under normal circumstances the mice were never aggressive with Axle, but were usually more curious about him.

Ok my unorganized ranting is over. I'm not sure. I think it's fun to share my silly cringe lore.

Thanks for reading it! Or thanks for just looking at the art ^^

Sending positive vibes y'all

Till next time

Chapter 1 - What the Hades....

Masterlist

???? POV:

*We did it...

We created life, life from just a few particles in Deepspace, life from a few particles found in protocores known to be both toxic and poisonous to anyone with even an ounce of contact with human skin...

But we did it, WE created *her* Asphodel X03...

Our greatest creation yet, just like what we did with Maia X01.

She will be our ascension to immortality, she will be what this world needs to achieve the impossible. It's just a matter of time...*

Asphodel POV:

My head.... What the....

Where am I? What is this place?

I continued to look at my surroundings, wondering why I have this blistering headache and why in Hades' name can I not remember anything?

Wait

.

.

.

.

.

Hades? Who was that? Why did a random name just pop in my head?.... Nvm, what's important is to process my surroundings better so I can get the hell out of here.

But... Hold up, something isn't right.

Why can't I remember anything? Why is the only memory in my mind a place of darkness and suddenly being thrust into the light?

"Doctor, she's awake" wait she? Are they talking about me? I look to the side of the room to see a large window with people on the other side in white lab coats taking down notes.

"E-excuse me?" My voice came out rather hoarse, as if I've been screaming for the past hour. "W-where am I?" I asked, "hmmm, note it down. Awoken after a few hours of rigorous testing both in organs and skin. It seems her body is adapting quickly from all the chemicals injected in her body and not only that but she's regenerating rather quickly unlike the other two."

What.

Testing?

Chemicals?

Regeneration?

What the hell are they doing to me? I stared at them in both shock and horror wondering what they were doing to my body, mind you my body, from what I can see, is the body of the child. Are they sick or something? Doing experiments like that to a child? A child who just woke up not even a few minutes ago?

.

.

.

.

.

A week has passed, how do I know that? Beats me, I know a lot of things that even I can't explain. But they continue to do these tests on my body, seemingly hoping to find more answers to whatever it is they're finding.

Somehow after a week, they let me go. Some guards are escorting me to a room from the back of the facility, some of the scientists who experimented on me told me I would meet the others who're just like me.

And now here we are... After opening the door, the guard just threw me into the room with no regards whatsoever for my health btw and shut the door from behind. I look across the room to find not only one but two other kids like me, a boy and a girl.

The boy, who looked at me with wariness in his eyes, feels familiar to me somehow. Like I've seen him before. The girl on the other hand is looking at me with curiosity, both so familiar to me but I can't just place where I've seen them before in my head.

"Uh... Hello?" Finally saying something to them, I nervously greeted them with a wave of my hand. "Who are you?" The boy asked, holding his hand out in front of the girl seemingly protecting her from my presence and glaring at me as if I was the one hurting them in the first place (which I get, I mean scientist experimenting on you suddenly brought in another child to your room without explanation? I would be wary too but jeez turn the glare down to a minimum would ya?)

"Um, I'm Asphodel X03? That's what they call me anyway" I shrugged, I didn't know how I was so nonchalant with everything that's been happening tbh, all I know is that when I woke up during my first day here, they continued experimenting on me and somehow I can't feel even an ounce of pain from all the cutting and stabbing they did, all I felt was a itch in my skin that never seems to go away.

"A-are you just like us?" The girl asked stepping around the boy's hand without an ounce of fear. The boy watched as the girl went around his hand staring at her shock, as if to say that she should be more wary of strangers. "I guess so? I mean yeah, they did experiment on me more times than I can count." I replied to her shrugging, the boy stared at me in shock.

"Y-you! You can't just say something like that like it's nothing!" The boy shouted ( Jeez calling him "the boy" is getting old ) "What's wrong with what I said? Is it not the truth?" Ok maybe I'm being arrogant here, but you would too if you've experienced what I've experienced so far, being experimented on but feeling nothing more than an itch that you can't ignore.

"It is! But still you can't say something like that so blunty!" He shouted again, his eyes darting from me to the girl beside him, like it's telling me to think and look at her expression. Which I did, and oh boy.... Her face looked so pale, her eyes terrified. "Oh."

"Yeah 'Oh'" he rolled his eyes at me, bringing the girl closer to him to comfort her. Now I feel bad, "Hey, I'm sorry.... I didn't know that this would be your reaction...." I moved closer to the two, looking at the girl with apologetic eyes conveying my apologies to her. The boy on the other hand.... Looked at me skeptically.

"Look I'm really sorry" I looked at both of them. "I-its fine" the girl finally spoke up after a few seconds. "I'm X01, I think that's what they call me..." She said, her face is laced with confusion as if somehow forgetting her name every time, "tsk..." The boy looked at me still skeptical "02..." She said, tugging on the boy's sleeves and looking at him with eyes so doe like, you could've mistaken it for an animal's eyes.

"I'm Caleb X02... But they don't call me that here, it's just 02 I guess." He looked to the side after introducing himself... That's weird, why does that name seem so familiar? Where have I heard that before? "Agh..." Suddenly, as if electrocuted by a lightning bolt ( SIDE NOTE: future Asphodel here everyone! Seeing as how I remember my memories from the past life, this line was quite ironic seeing as how who my friends were. Alright back to the story! ) I started convulsing and dropped to the floor. The two in front of me suddenly panicked, while the girl wanted to come close to me, the other one wouldn't let her afraid that maybe she would be affected by the sudden electric current radiating from my body.

Then two guards emerged from the closed door taking the two in front of me by surprise, "You're now situated with each other, now let's go. They're waiting for you" one of the guards suddenly grabbed my forearm tightly, dragging me to the close door while I continued heaving after getting electrocuted so suddenly.

While the guards were dragging me through the door, I looked at the two still inside the room seeing them both so afraid of the guards just barging in and taking me away.

.

.

.

.

.

.

That happened around a week ago, now I've been a constant presence to both X01 and X02 inside the room, they even started trusting me once I figured out I could heal their injuries from the experiments those Dam ( future Asphodel: get it? Dam?.... Ok I'll stop ) scientists did to all of us. Though for some unfortunate reason, I can't seem to heal myself but I can heal others just fine.

"Jiě jie are you ok?" I looked up startled as I heard X01 call out to me. "Oh, I'm fine just thinking about something" I replied to her.

"You don't look fine" someone from behind me said, I looked back to see X02 standing behind me with his newly bandaged arms crossed and looking at me with narrowed eyes. "I'm fine X02, just thinking about my healing powers again." I looked at my arms as I said that.

X02 sighed "you know you don't have to heal me right? I know it takes a lot of your energy to just heal one of us, let alone two people." He shook his head, arms uncrossing and putting them to his hips.

"Yeah Jiě jie, Gege's right. You don't have to heal both of us." X01 said, looking at me with those soft doe eyes. If she keeps looking at me like that I won't be able to stop myself from pinching her cheeks. Why does she have to be so cute.

"You know I don't want to stop healing you guys, besides... They do more damage to both of you than they do to me." I look down onto my lap, thinking about the times wherein X02 comes back with open wounds on his arms and scars on his back and us watching how they tortured and killed X01 more times than I can count.

*WARNING*

*WARNING*

*WARNING*

*WARNING*

*WARNING*

Suddenly, alarms start blaring out the facility, issuing a warning never have I heard before ever since I got to this place.

"What's happening?" X01 looks afraid, clinging onto my arm tightly. "I don't know" I replied back, this hasn't happened before. Why are there suddenly alarms blaring out a warning? What's going on?

"Both of you stay here" X02 looked at the door with suspicion.

Wait, where was he going? I thought to myself as I saw him walking towards the door slowly. "X02" I called out to him "where are you going?" I stretch my arm out to catch the ends of his shirt holding him back from going towards the door.

"I'm going to check what's going on out there" he replied taking my hand out of his shirt and walking to the door, but then it opened.

All three of us froze, but once we saw who the figure was X01 relaxed slightly. There in the door, was one of the scientists tasked to experiment on all three of us, especially X01.

If I remember correctly, her name was Josephine. She looks disheveled. Like something dangerous was happening and for some reason I could feel a sense of death outside the room.

"We have to get out of here X02 grabbed X03 and lets go" she said stalking towards both X01 and I who stood up a few minutes ago, and grabbed the girl from behind me and pulled her towards the door looking at X02 and then at me.

"W-wait" X01 looked up at her then to X02 and me and said "What's going on? Where are we going?"

"There's no time to waste, come on you three." Josephine said, still tugging X01s hand to get through the door. X02, sensing that something was amiss, grabbed my hand and followed the two of them outside. Once through the door, all I could see was a sea of red light, the siren blaring out warnings so loud that caused my ears to hurt.

All three of us continue to follow Josephine through the corridor and after a few twists and turns we finally see a door just up a head.

But unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan.

A sudden explosion from behind us led to us being separated, my hands slipped from X02s grip and I was thrown back to a wall while I heard both X01 and X02 screaming for me.

I can tell my head was bleeding from the impact that explosion caused, and my ears were still ringing from it.

But a sudden warmth spread through me, I could feel hands start to carry me from where I laid and brought me through the door. With my eyes still blurry from the impact and explosion, I could see a blueish - silvery mask of the stranger who saved me.

Seemingly sensing someone staring up at him, he looked down at the girl in his arms and brought a hand out to her eyes "sleep, you're safe now."

With that reassurance, I was out like a light.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

When I came to, I saw two familiar faces up close, one more closer than the other. Which surprisingly, isn't X01. "Wha-"

"Jiě jie!"

"X03!"

They both exclaimed at the same time. "Jeez, tone it done a little would ya? My head's killing me" I said as I clutched my throbbing head. "Of course your head would hurt dumbass, you have a wound on it. If it weren't for me you would've died from the amount of blood you've lost!" X02 exclaimed while helping me up from my position. From this angle I could see both of them more clearly than before.

X01s eyes were red, which I guess comes from all the crying, while X02 is glaring at my head as if it offended me to a serious degree. "Wait... Where's that woman?" I questioned, now realizing that it was just the three of us here in this run down building.

"She went to find supplies for all of us" X01 replied, sensing my confusion.

.

.

.

A few days have passed with Josephine having come back from finding those supplies, we ventured away from the building we've stayed in for the past 3 days. At least that's what they told me seeing as how I was unconscious for 2 of those days.

Then, we found a shelter with other victims of the catastrophe that happened a few days ago, Josephine decided to let us stay here for a few days, that is until she finds us a permanent place to live in.

The days felt like a routine, waking up, eating, cleaning ourselves, contemplating what to do next, and then sleeping again. It just keeps repeating for almost a week, until Josephine finally found a place for us at Whitesand Bay.

(A/N: Yes I know that's where Rafayel lives in but, bear with me for a second, I don't actually know where Mc and Caleb lived in before the main story started, and it's been a long time since I've read the earlier chapters of the game so excuse me guys if any information stated in this chapter feels so fanon coded, when really I've just been relying on the information I still have stuck in my head. Could I have just read the story again? Yes. But it's time consuming and I don't have a lot of time for it with my Research and school projects coming along as well. So I'm very sorry if there's any misinformation in here, but I would be so grateful to people who decide to comment on things that I've gotten wrong and to correct me for them. Now let's go back to the story.)

It was a two story house with 5 bedrooms in it, 3 upstairs and 2 downstairs. Josephine told us to take the upstairs bedroom while she stays on the first floor. After we settled ourselves in, she told us to come to the living so we could talk about what to do from now on.

"Since we're now living together, why don't the three of you decide on a name?" The three of us looked at each other with weariness in our eyes, X01 being less weary than us but still weary nonetheless. I didn't trust to say the least, she might've saved us from whatever it is that happened back there, but that doesn't erase the fact that she was one of the people who partook in the experiments those scientist did to us.

"M-mira" both X02 and I look at X01, well I guess Mira now, in surprised. Then we looked at each other and sighed in resignation. "Caleb..." X02, now Caleb said after a few minutes of silence. Then I quickly followed with "Asphodel"

Josephine smiled, as if quite pleased with the names both Caleb and I chose. "Alright then, hello Mira, Caleb, and Asphodel. I'll be taking care of the three of you from now on. You three can call me grandma." She smiled, portraying a sense of comfort I didn't know if I could trust, but for now I'm letting my guard down.

We aren't in that place anymore, it's time for a new beginning. One filled with happiness, laughter and maybe perhaps love.

genesis keeps a bag of glitter in his coat pocket for whenever the occasion calls for it. how long does that last before Sephiroth chokes him for getting glitter in his hair

Hair can be washed, but Sephiroth would never stifle Genesis' whimsy when he experienced the lack of such freedom in his own childhood. What's more concerning is when Genesis chooses to use the glitter.

Angeal: How'd your appointment with Hojo go?

Sephiroth: The same as always. He refused to acknowledge any of the emotional connection I might have with my mother, dismissing it as mere delusion.

Angeal: Damn.

Sephiroth: And when I confronted him about the truth of my origins and questioned whether I have any remaining family members, he told me I'm alone in this world and that nothing about my history is worth investigating further.

Angeal: Sure, sure.

Sephiroth: And when I asked him about my father, he laughed. He told me I have no father, that he's the scientist who raised me to be great and nothing more.

Angeal: I see…

Sephiroth: It felt... hollow. Like he was trying to manipulate me into seeing the world through a certain lens, one that removed all traces of family or humanity. As if I were nothing more than a weapon.

Angeal: He has no respect for you whatsoever.

Sephiroth: It wasn't even a conversation. It was more like a lecture. Just him feeding me facts, twisting everything to fit his narrative.

Angeal: Sounds rough.

Sephiroth: And then as I was leaving, he had the audacity to compare me to a child searching for fairy dust.

*Genesis violently throws glitter in the air*

Sephiroth: BASTARD

Hi okay so if you're still doing a request can I get a (baki) Pickle x bottom male reader. So I want public sex where Pickle FuCks Reader Hard infront of everyone kinda like the reporter scene but you know with consent but if your not comfortable with that just normal rough sex in a bed room or forest since that's where Pickle is from.

If your not comfortable with this then that's okay i understand.

notes: OKAY, so, I did not see this until I wrote the last pickle request so I'm gonna connect this ask with that one— it's right here if ya wanna read it, deffo recommend it bc of lore :D hope ya enjoy this too !!! can't even lie, I'm thoroughly invested in the story of Pickle and Cucumber and I'm honestly thinking about keeping these two as reoccurring on my blog ngl.

warnings: mdni, homophobes do not interact, amab reader, he/him pronouns, violence against others that aren't reader, murder, blood and blood depictions, brief description of violence against woman and their wombs, mxm, pickle is very protective and basically yandere but who wouldn't be during the jurassic time period, rim jobs, lack of prep before anal, noncon mentioned but not against reader, reader is called cucumber by the facility and is basically a nickname, cumflation, belly bulge, size difference, very massive, very long, giant cock that is more weapon than genital, rough and unprotected sex bc duh they're both primitive men, hunting of animals, drugging // food tampering— I think that's it, lemme know if I missed anything.

The ultimate goal of the experiment was to further test the pure, raw strength of the primitive man when fueled by emotion and longing, going without food for a week. And their experiment proved to be true, far too true as a matter of fact. Multiple casualties would be forever staining the pages that reported the experiment and any sane person would have ended the experiment then and there to reunite the two lovers again.

However, a man at the top, who thought of nothing but himself, wanted to see just how far Pickle would go, even if that meant more casualties would have to be made. And so, the bloodbath ensued.

As Pickle roamed the facility halls, wave after wave came at him, rubber bullets aimed his way and raining on him that proved to have no impact on him whatsoever. He easily swiped aside the nuisances that are in his way, swiping away the small people until they go flying, hitting nearby walls— the sound of cracking bones, splattering, and coughing is sickening. So sickening that some of the scientists, though they love their jobs, find themselves going against the higher-ups.

One bravely moves in front of Pickle and holds his hands up, attempting to seem as if he was defenseless and then began to point behind him, pointing at a large door that was down the hall the primitive man was currently stalking down.

"He's there! There!"

He quickly announced, and then used his other hand to wave in the direction of the security camera he knew was currently watching the entire sight.

And on cue, the giant doors opened. To your surprise, the wall opening woke you out of your forced slumber that was brought onto you by a primitive form of depression sparked by your loss of companionship.

With heightened abilities, Pickle smelled you before he saw you, and as soon as he laid eyes on you, he was unable to make a sound, simply getting into all fours again and bounding towards you at full-speed. Despite being weakened by the lack of nutrients, you slowly sat up onto your hands and knees before feeling yourself being tackled back to the ground, bodies rolling until the two of your slammed against a tree, Pickle's back took the blow and nearly uprooted the thing. He rolled again onto a patch of grass, still holding you comfortably in his arms until you were in a patch of grass, dropping you onto your back while he buried his face into your neck, starting to nibble onto any part of it that he can reach, sharp fang-like teeth scratching over your skin and leaving indents.

The door to this new enclosure is shut and on the outside, the cleaning procedure begins, but not without some scolding to the researchers who went against the higher-ups. Cucumber and Pickle did not seem to care about whatever was going on outside of them, far more focused on each other and keeping each other close.

From then on, Pickle cannot be more than a foot away from you, and he can only sleep when he's on top of you, shielding you from whatever threatens the outside.

The only scientists he allows inside the enclosure are small, fragile-looking women. He'd already killed a few of the male scientists who dared to enter, a warning and a threat. And recently, in hopes to appease the two primitive men and get back on their neutral sides, wild animals have been introduced into the enclosure, giving the illusion of a hunt for the both of you, and unfortunately, your enjoyment in fruit had been ruined thanks to the scientists and their cruel, cruel experiment.

You were only able to eat what Pickle hunted, and in another week, you looked more alive again, even helping with the hunt and relishing in Pickle's presence yet again. So far, it seemed that Pickle seemed to enjoy crocodile meat quite a lot, whilst you had your own preferences. And once you were back at a healthy level of energy, Pickle immediately recognized it and let his instincts win, one could not blame him for feeding into such carnal desires.

After an especially filling meal, you find yourself being hunted just like your previous meal, but it's the kind of hunt that gets the hair on the back of your neck standing. Your primitive partner growls at you in a suggestive manner and suddenly, he's chasing you around the enclosure, getting the adrenaline pumping in your veins and his. And when he's had enough, he's got you pinned down onto the ground, pulling at the loin cloth that keeps you from him until it comes off, making him toss it aside. He's hurried and hungry, yanking his own loin cloth off as you roll onto your stomach, eager for him to mount you, hardened cock swinging between your legs while a bead of pre dribbles out the top. You're on your knees, propping your body up in the ideal position for— breeding essentially.

Pickle is eager himself, lining his massively thick, veiny dick up with your rim, nearly growling at the anticipation as he presses the head against it and starts to push. Every part of the tanned man is large, including his third leg that was just a few inches over a foot in length and thick like a world record-breaking, sizable anaconda. He tried to force himself into you, but you push him out, obviously because it's been a while and it seems to frustrate the beast, eliciting a growl from him as he eyes your little hole with his brows furrowed. Everytime you breathe, it winks at him, almost like it's taunting him and you can't help but to grow frustrated, huffing at him from over your shoulder, but he can't stop staring at your hole, curious eyes drilling themselves into your ass.

Then, yet another instinct comes over him as he leans down, shoving his tongue past the first ring of muscle, the fat thing nearly longer than his cock. The sensation is strange but it only makes more pearls of pre dribble from your tip, your own cock seemingly throbbing as his wild tongue throbs around inside of you from behind, forcibly stretching you with its width. The muscle thrashes around inside of you, wildly moving about, darting in and out of you like an excitable puppy drinking water from a lake. His tongue movements are uncoordinated and hungry, so much to the point that it's darting about with no clear destination, even causing a few stray licks to the underside of your balls that makes you flinch every time.

Pickle isn't particularly sure what he's doing or why he's doing it, but he couldn't stop himself from feeding into the curiosity. It surprised you as well, considering he's never done to you before and you had never felt so good down there like this.

Shamelessly, a group of researchers and scientists were watching this ensemble unfold in real-time, gathered around with food in their hands like shameless perverts watching an adult film.

For science! They would most likely say, ignoring their own instincts to shove a hand in their pants at the scene in front of them.

The licking, although pleasant, was becoming too much and there was a buildup you were feeling in your shaft that had you panting like a dog, clawing at the ground and smashing your skull against the dirt. For some unknown reason, Pickle took your sounds as a signal of sorts and he remembered his own issue, heavy uncircumcised cock seeming to throb and lift with eagerness. Yet again, he pulls himself back to position himself properly, lining himself up with your hole and then pushes the tip in, a chirp of excitement escaping him as he plunges in deeper, going in about halfway before you feel as though the insides of your stomach are literally being rearranged. Fertile balls are pressed up against yours as he manages to jam every inch into your awaiting hole, somehow you're able to take every inch, an impressive feat within itself. Perhaps, this is why he took you as a lover. A flash of memories comes to mind to both you and Pickle.

. . .

Pickle had his share of sexual partners— instinctually he went after women, who he ultimately killed by accident after ripping through their wombs with the deadly length between his thighs. He had found a woman once, able to take him fully, but she did not recuperate his feelings and escaped him after a session of breeding. Eventually, Pickle stumbled upon Cucumber, a man of smaller stature than him, but strong in his own way. Their first meeting was anything but friendly, both of them going after the same prey of a Jurassic animal, looking for their next meal, fighting each other while simultaneously fighting the creature in hopes of getting meat. Ultimately, they ended up killing the beast together and bregrundingly shared, taking from the hunted beast without acknowledging each other much after.

But through unfortunate events, you continued to run into each other at different points in both of your traveling journeys, but continued to ignore each other regardless. And on one of those fateful meet-ups, however, Pickle had made a mistake— a mistake that brought on a sense of fear that he'd never once had to deal with before.

Consuming a wasp.

The pain he'd felt from it made him more vocal than ever, scaring away beasts and other people alike. However, Cucumber was not fearful, instead, he went a pang of sympathy for the man who he'd considered somewhat of a companion.

Immediately jumping into action, tapping into a nurturing side that he sometimes would ignore, he wandered hurriedly to the nearest lake of water, cupped his hands and gathered a healthy amount of it into his hands and wandered towards the other man. He growled at that primitive man who was still in excruciating pain, opening his mouth in an attempt to get the message across to him and with tears in his eyes, Pickle obliged, reminding Cucumber of a whimpering babe who was hungry for milk.

Dumping the handfuls of water into Pickle's mouth, you watched as he held the water in his mouth for a moment and then spit it out, along with the wasp, coughing up quite a storm. You frowned as he coughed, hesitantly patting his back afterwards, and after a while, you left to gather something to soothe the residual burning— fruits, which you forced Pickle to eat, despite his disdain for eating things that he did not hunt himself. But when he did as you wanted, the burn disappeared and you were ready to take your leave after helping him— only to have the man hot on your tail, everywhere you went, following you closely from behind.

Surprisingly, you didn't shoo him away, and that was what began the true extent of your strange relationship. It didn't take much longer before he would develop something new, love, and you returned the feeling. And in a moment of intimacy one late night, under the stars, he'd mounted you for the first time like a woman and breeded you under the moonlight. It was somewhat romantic, even with the guttural sounds of pleasure and delight that came from you both. And when you took him in his entirety without complaint, he was even more infatuated with you than he'd already been.

. . .

The primal man is grinning at this point as he's able to properly mount you, beginning to thrust at a pace that has your body rocking back and forth, his mouth and the area around it shiny with his own saliva as he plunges further. You're lucky you're stronger than the average and modern man, claws digging further into the dirt to keep yourself from toppling forward. Pickle is pounding into you, thrusting his hips with a tenacity that's enough to shake the trees around you, you're lucky your body is built for the brutality.

Watchful eyes are carefully observing, even going as far as to have a discussion onto why the two of you had chosen each other as mates since there was no chance of either of you reproducing. Then again, did reproducing matter much to the primitive people of your time? Apparently not, though Pickle seemed to be /breeding/ you as if it were indeed, possible.

Poor Cucumber was experiencing the true strength of Pickle's excitement, quite literally being fucked into the ground by a beast of mass destruction. The researchers collectively feel a sense of great respect for you as you handle the creature on top of you with gritted teeth, groaning and growling as you take every inch. It's a rough experience that leaves you teary eyed, wobbly lipped, and whining, just like all the other times he has his way with you. Pickle doesn't seem to let up, not even when your teeth chatter as a familiar and growing pleasure comes over you, blossoming in your hips and cock, strings of white spewing from your tip and onto the ground beneath you in spurts that seem to last far too long. Your cock seems to soften after cumming a second time, though it continues to twitch and swing with the pistoning of barbaric hips that continuously drive you forward. Squelching and the sound of skin repeatedly colliding is nearly as loud as the proud growls Pickle does, his chest vibrating with an animalistic equivalent of pride when you cum, squeezing his erection enough to milk him just right.

And fortunately, your poor hole doesn't need to take much more abuse before Pickle reaches his edge as well, unleashing copious amounts of his load into you, cum spilling out the edges where your bodies connected, dribbling out in the dirt like lines of salt. You'd felt full like this before, never able to get used to the feeling but still enjoying it regardless, a strange after result is the slight pouch in your lower belly that is made due to an immense amount of cum. Pickle holds himself there for a bit before pulling out and he's /still/ coming, ropes of the sticky white landing on your back and your rear, the insane amount he's dumped into you beginning to spill out and trickle from your gaping, spasming hole. Your lover lets out an affirmative, satisfied groan and then lays down onto the ground on his side right next to you. He wraps one of his lengthy arms around you and pulls you towards him, your chest neerly flush against his, and you rest your forehead against his shoulder, panting as you attempt to catch your breath, almost as if you'd been running after an especially fast prey. Pickle shuts his eyes and rests his chin on top of your head as he slowly shuts his eyes, having been drained of energy. It's not long before he's asleep and his body naturally locks in place around you, almost like a protective barrier. One of his legs is draped over yours, hooked behind your knees, his monstrous cock nestled between your thighs while yours is squeezed between your stomach and his abdomen, lower bodies entangled where it's almost difficult to distinguish between limbs. His arm is still wrapped around your back, the other had joined, slipping beneath you as his hands interlocked behind your back. This position is new, he's usually laying right on top of you when he sleeps, completely covering you up like a shell on the back of a turtle, making it nearly impossible to see you beneath him unless one looked from very specific angles.

You're tired as well, hole still leaking with Pickle's cum as your eyelids grow heavy. Your body is hot and sticky with sweat, making your skin stick to his, but you always find comfort in his presence, snaking your own arms around the massive man's body the best way you can before you drift off to sleep as well.

To the researchers and facility crew who are still watching on the security cams, they see the cuddling session as wholesome— despite the previous actions of you both— and nearly coo at the cuddling session.

Perhaps they would need to adjust their research and find different questions to think about...

hi i'm gonna talk about the half life HEV suits for a while because i have many thoughts

I like how the differences between both HEV Suits, the MkIV and the MkV, are not just aesthetic.

The MkIV looks heavier and bulkier and like it has more armor plating, whereas the MkV looks lighter, more agile and easier to move in.

Here is a text wall of my explanations and thoughts: -1: In practice, the MkV allows you to move considerably faster. This is represented through the Sprint function it provides. In all the HL games that use the original gldsource engine, all the HEV Suit wearers move at the exact same speed with and without it, meaning that despite the fact that they all literally ZOOM RIGHT THROUGH RIDICULOUSLY FAST, their speed is not in any way affected by the suit itself. In HL2, Gordon moves at the exact same speed with and without the suit, but can ONLY use the Sprint when he has the suit ON. It could be argued that the MkIV has better mobility since all characters can technically sprint indefinitely while wearing it, but I consider this argument invalidated by the facts that the characters can still sprint indefinitely without the suit, and that moving slower is something you can do completely unassisted whereas moving faster is not. It could also be argued that the MkIV is the better one due to the fact you can attach a Long Jump Module to it. I think this argument is also invalidated by the fact that similarly long jumps can be performed by jumping while sprinting with the MkV without the need for extra addons, being able to do this right out the box. So for all intents and purposes, the MkV has in fact more mobility.

-2: The MkIV's aforementioned armor plating does actually play a role, represented through it having an extra layer of protection that the MkV lacks entirely. These layers of protection are Damage Negation, and Damage Absorption. The MkIV has both of them, while the MkV only has the latter, albeit a stronger version of it. Let me explain: If you take 10 damage, the MkIV will get it reduced by 40% through Damage Negation leaving it at 6, then that 6 will be further reduced via Damage Absorption by 66%, making it so the suit's energy takes a hit of 4, while you yourself only take a hit of 2. Meanwhile, the MkV lacks the Damage Negation layer and uses a better form of Damage Absorption, which has a strength of 80% instead of 66%. This means that if you were to take 10 damage, the MkV would still make it so you yourself only take 2, but the suit's energy would take a hit of 8. Something to keep in mind however, is that the MkIV is offset by the fact that despite having all that plating and extra layer of protection, both suits will provide NO protection whatsoever if they have no energy, meaning that the Damage Negation part is not because of the suit itself being flat out bulletproof but rather by how its systems in their powered state handle any damage it sustains. Also, it could be argued that the MkIV is better due to it having a helmet, which can be seen on the dead scientists in full HEV suit that you can find in some parts of the games. Unfortunately this argument is invalidated by the fact that there is no way to prove if the helmet makes any difference, as none of the characters we play as wears said helmet. All in all, we can conclude that this effectively means that the MkIV is just as effective at reducing damage than the MkV, yet more efficient. (btw the source for these numbers is the half life wiki and some personal experiments i ran with headcrabs in both games)

-3: The MkV is possibly increasing Gordon's physical strength, as represented by his handling of the Gravity Gun. Alyx is shown to be capable of fending off and taking down Civil Protection officers, headcrab zombies and augmented Combine soldiers (and zombines) using nothing but her physical strength and fighting skills. Yet she has considerable difficulty handling the Gravity Gun due to its bulk and, as mentioned by her, the kick the gun has when fired. Yet Gordon uses it seemingly with no difficulty whatsoever, even in its super powered state which can pull off huge machinery from walls and violently chuck it away. Meanwhile, the MkIV wearing Gordon is knocked back by the fully charged shot of the Gauss Gun. I can't rightfully elaborate on this one as I lack enough physics knowledge to establish this as a fact, but something tells me that if MkV Suit Gordon were to use the Gauss Gun he wouldn't suffer as much of a kick as he did with the MkIV.

So, my closing thoughts on each suit:

I'd say that the MkIV was designed leaning more into the protective aspect of it since everyone wearing it was expected to not only handle hazardous things like radioactive or toxic chemicals/materials but also participate in physical combat against unknown creatures and even possibly other humans, seeing as the armor Adrian Shephard wears is speculated to be a derivative of the HEV suit. High energy efficiency was an important design choice as well, since there was no way to be sure that the suit would always have a suitable source of energy available or how long would the suit go without said source being available.

As for the MkV, Kleiner did somehow get from the USA to wherever City 17 is located all the way up in Europe, seeing how broken the world is now that the Combine have taken over, so he must have realized that the bulkier MkIV was not agile enough to deal with this new environment, and managed to increase mobility in a way that could even make it so the Long Jump Module is no longer necessary while maintaining the same level of protection at the cost of greatly reduced efficiency. In his eyes however, this sacrifice was probably a trivial one, for he managed to adapt the suit itself to the Combine's sources of energy. Said sources of energy are everywhere now, because the Combine are everywhere now. Gordon will most likely never run out of ways to power his suit up.

Personally, my heart will always be with the MkIV.

dr crygor yap sesh

everyone please shut up for a second i need to talk about how much i love this little bozo

dr crygor. is . he is.

right so the story is i first heard of this character when warioware gold came out. right? i didnt have it myself but i took enough interest to watch the all cutscenes compilation once every while. but i didn't really have a favourite and i didnt even think about crygor very much.

and then at some point like last month, for some reason, i found myself thinking of warioware again. right? and i dont know how, but i came across him once more. and i thought to myself, "oh this guy was funny. he actually looks kinda stupid lmao. stupid old ass man. whats his deal" and at some point i read over his wiki page, and i was like "ok so this absolute ninny can not cure his baldness, can not cure his ibs, but somehow managed to extend his lifespan by hundreds of years. and also has no game whatsoever. like, nobody wants him." and naturally i also read what happens in the previous games and i thought "wow he sucks ass fuck him who greenlit this guy" and i would continue to tell myself that he was not my favourite.

and by now i was pretty into warioware. i had listened to the voice clips, i had watched the cutscenes. and by now i definitely did have a favourite crygor voiceline. it's the one where he says "I'M SIMPLY GIDDY!!!" it's that one.

so on my last day of school, after my last exam, i went out and one of the things i bought was warioware gold. i remember crygor being covered up by the price sticker. that was funny.

and THEN i started playing it. and it became extremely difficult to deny that he was indeed my favourite character. this was also the game that made me realise young cricket was my other favourite but this aint about him get outta here

this was when i started really accepting the fact that crygor is just kind of cute. not in the attractive way but in the endearing way. like. you have to admit that sometimes he is adorable. sometimes. okay?

and i was like "oh my god fine hes my favourite fine i love him a lot fine fine fineee"

and i do think that my denial of him being my favourite definitely comes from the kind of character that he is. like yeah he's smart but. he is so stupid. he is a fucking weird ugly character from a weird ugly franchise. and honestly? i was embarrased. i did not want my favourite to be stupid ibs guy from stupid wario game for itty bitty babies no no no. because i am a Big Girl™

but i know what you are thinking: who gives a shit?

i actually dont know. all i know is i adore that weird little scientist i don't know why but i really do

i listen to cabinet man by lemon demon and i think about him.

i listen to lifetime achievement award by lemon demon and i think about him.

i listen to modify by lemon demon and i think about him.

i want nintendo to give him a song i really do. unless it ends up sucking. but it wont. i swear. nintendo will cook, i manifest.

do i have a favourite iteration of him? i dont really know.

do i prefer pre-gold crygor or gold-onwards crygor? both. both is good.

before gold i personally get the vibes of "weird science man who's probably harmless. probably." and this, combined with his old voice, conveyed the idea of this guy who is ambitious, he is a genius, but you're kinda glad he lives all alone on an island and not with society.

and then gold really leaned into the silly aspect of this guy, both with how he acts and with his new voice. his cutscene, the first we see of him, portrays him as cowardly and forgetful, and when we see him later on, we literally see that nobody wants this guy. so he's a genius, but also hes so foolish.

obviously i adore both of these. and i like how nowadays in the games it seems standard to portray him as both a genius and a fool. but can we please fucking talk about his voice i love his voice so much omg omg omg omg omg omg omg

i am the biggest fan ever of his gold-onwards voice holy shit holy shit holy shit i just think it sounds so nice and cute im sorryyyy i like it so much like his old voice is nice too i like how strange it i really do but bro. idk what the general popular "correct" opinion is on the new voices but my ethically-sourced home-grown home-made opinion is kyle herbert is the fucking goat and his performance has only gotten better throughout the newer games. what i notice is that he sounds much more human compared to his old voice. and that might be a negative for some people who might have liked the weirdness of his old voice but for me its genuinely nice. sweet, even. that he sounds human nowadays.

"but ermmm the voice change did NOT happen in canon bestie you are-" i know. i know. just let me have this.

umm in summary i love crygor i love him so much i love him i love him i love him i love him

he's smart.

he's stupid.

he's 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂

i will now finish with some of my favourites of his lines.

ahem.

"I'M SIMPLY GIDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!" from warioware gold, when you clear (the first?) 15 microgames in a row with no mistakes

"SPLENDID, I SAY! SPLENDID!" from warioware get it together. ima be so real i havent played that game (YET?) i dont know when it happened.

"don't be a stranger!!!!" originally from warioware gold but rerecorded for warioware move it. in gold, it plays when you exit his stage/pseudo-stage after exhausting all four of your lives. it likely plays in a similar context in move it, i haven't played that either. in gold, it sounds undoubtedly friendly. in move it, it sounds just slightly more unhinged. ever so slightly.

When did Luthor shift between his 80s Corrupt Amoral Business guy to his more modern Tech-Genius-Supersuit-Amoral-Business-Guy persona?

I'm not actually entirely sure. I'm not even entirely sure that this has decisively happened or finished happening. I remember that when I first watched BvS, the silicon valley whiz-kid take on his character felt novel- it felt, to teenaged me, like the same kind of idiom update for the present day as when Byrne turned him into a corrupt businessman in the first place. But I didn't have my finger on the pulse of his 2012-2015 characterization in mainline comics because that was the height of New-52 induced editorial flailing and I'd kind of given up actively following anything they were doing, so for all I know they'd been tinkering with that direction for a minute. I think that My Adventures With Superman shows that that particular direction for the character is a recognizable thing now, a version of his characterization that they can deploy without fan outcry.

I think that you can maybe point to the "President Lex" era, the stuff that was going on in 52 where he was playing the cool respectable philanthropist (before murdering all those people) as a plausible evolutionary link between the two stages. And dogging the whole thing are the versions of Lex's character from the 40s through the 60s where he was just an insane mad scientist totally on the outs from polite society, no corporate enterprise to speak of whatsoever even when he was personally moving and shaking with the supervillianously accrued resources of a small nation. No fleshed out depiction of the guy that I've seen has ever totally abandoned all of the elements from the other, somewhat mutually exclusive depictions; even My Adventures With Superman, the second big take on the Eisenberg style for the character, is doing the wink-and-nod to his silver-age origin as a one-time respectable boy genius whose jealousy of Superman/hair loss ultimately drove him insane. I'm not sure there's a straight line to draw.

Happy April 1st y'all. In honor of today, I'm going to be coming at you with some of my Most Correctist Undertale Yellow Takes™. Just the absolute Truest Interpretations about Undertale Yellow that you should accept with zero thought whatsoever because they're all totally correct and factual and trust me I'm right.

I'll start things off with: Chujin was 100% correct with everything that he did.

Repeatedly throwing himself into building a human apprehension robot despite how it risked his job security when he had his family relying on him for financial support and how his Axis Models weren't working? His tenacity is admirable! He's taking the conflict between humans and monsters seriously unlike the rest of his slacker coworkers! Besides, Chujin did eventually get it right with Model 014; since Asgore had given him 8 tries already, what's another 6 more?

Being fired by Asgore after setting his flowerbed on fire? Asgore was a dick for that. Fuck the Royals! Like I said, Chujin did make a functional Axis eventually, Asgore should've realized that Chujin was going somewhere with his invention and recognized him for the genius that he was. Hell, Chujin should've been the Royal Scientist with how good he was doing. Besides, those were just a bunch of dumb flowers that caught fire, not like they had any sentimental meaning.

Not telling his wife that he got fired and instead telling her that he retired? Yeah, that is the right thing to do. Can't have your wife be disappointed in you. Happy wife, happy life, amiright? Same with having her take over the responsibilities of being the breadwinner while he volunteered around the Underground. Obviously if Ceroba didn't want to be the housewife AND the breadwinner, she would've said something. She seemed perfectly content with this arrangement because she didn't protest it. Besides, the entire Underground needs Chujin's contributions far more than his own home.

Abandoning Kanako and Dalv after Integrity attacked them to go sicc Axis on the human? Chujin really stepped up as the hero in that moment. Look, so what if his daughter was left alone with her injured friend for who knows how long during this time. The issue of the dangerous human killing monsters was far more pressing than his child's hurt feelings. Besides, she survived so it's not like him being there for her would've made a difference.

And lastly, I can conclude with a 100% certainty that Chujin's serum would've been effective with a pure-hearted human SOUL. Look, he was clearly onto something with injecting human SOUL extract directly into his SOUL and then harvesting that combined extract to make a Boss Monster Serum. He's a big, strong Boss Monster and a human SOUL is incredibly powerful. Strong SOUL + Strong SOUL = Serum to make Strong SOULs. It's so simple that it makes sense! If only Integrity wasn't such a dick and killed monsters, then their SOUL could've been put to good use. SMH. Oh well, at least that evil little kid got what they deserved in the end.

i hate that scientist don't keep in mind that women and men aren't the same and haven't figured out our bodies yet which means doctors don't know wtf to do to help us bc WHY do you have such limited options when it comes to your period and hormonal issues ???????

we quite literally have flying cars? ? ?

i'm so livid about this actually

i'm so sure that if female scientists were taken more seriously we could've figured out how to grow limbs already with the fact women grow whole ass human life in themselves smhhhhhhhkjhzdjgsqdf

THE ONLY FDKJHKS REASON WE KNOW ABOUT DNA IS QUITE LITERALLY BECAUSE OF A WOMAN FUCK CRICKET AND WATSON OR WHATEVER THE FUCK THEIR NAMES ARE I ONLY KNOW ROSALIND FRANKLIN AND THE FACT THAT SCIENCE WOULD BE NOTHING RN IF IT WEREN'T FOR HER THOSE TWO FUCKASS DUDES ARE NOTHING BUT COPYCATS and as are all other male scientists (except for a few ig) and if only they'd let the women they stole their shit from SPEAK instead of silencing them and taking away their voice and labour we would've been SOOO MUCH MORE ADVANCED

REALLLLL WHAT

this made me think about the fact that we could have so many more inventions(especially for women’s needs) if women weren’t living in a world that wouldn’t let them have ANY power whatsoever. so many women probably had innovative minds and wanted to solve problems just like period issues. today they are able to contribute but i think the progression of birth control is would possibly be less harmful for us (and really anyone who has a period to be fair!!) if women were allowed and encouraged to pitch in more when it was in the works and through the decades. at least that’s my hypothesis. also you’re right so many women have paved the way and men have taken credit and got away with it I HATE IT

It's crazy how cringe Arcane S2 Viktor is. He's a Machine Herald without the "machine". It's just like calling Mordekaiser as the "Iron Revenant", and taking away the "revenant". It makes no sense at all, and destroys the whole character. It's like making Jhin with his face visible, when everything that makes Jhin himself is the anonymity of his face.

Suffice to say, I'm disappointed, and if they choose to make Arcane Viktor as the in-game one with the VGU & Rework, I'll quit playing Viktor. I don't want to play as another corrupt mage like Brand or Xerath. I want to play as a cyborg man from Zaun. Closest we have is Urgot, but even then, he's not a ranged character. Camille? Again, close range character, and from Piltover. And they're not quite the same as Viktor, who is fully set on prosthetics, and helping people, and being a scientist who builds golems.

It's like Viktor will become a completely different character, and I'll continue to prefer his current LoR version as the in-game canon since I love that version of him right now. Welp, guess the only place where we can play as his original version will be LoR. Such a shame.

The whole plotline of "Piltover-Zaun becoming one against Viktor's and Noxus' armies" makes me cringe so hard, you have no idea. Weren't we supposed to have an animation series about Piltover and Zaun? When did it become about "Noxus vs Piltover and Zaun"? But I liked Jayce. He's become Giga Chad, basically. Sure, doesn't fit his S1 character, but which character stayed loyal to their S1 versions? I didn't like S1 too because it didn't set up the base for Viktor becoming the Machine Herald at all (not into robotics, no comment on human emotions, etc.), or for Jayce to be an arrogant guy who's very hard to work with. No, instead we had their "better" versions. It makes me so angry. 😭 I'm not even starting with what kind of abomination they've turned WW into. He's supposed to talk. Not act like an animal %90 of the time and just speak one word the whole season.

Swain crows and Mel allying with LeBlanc was cool, ngl. Doesn't make a lot of sense as to why Swain doesn't move a finger to stop Ambessa and her army whatsoever, but whatever. Also what was the "subtle foreshadowing" they did on the last episode? Geez.

Ambessa fighting scene is literally what happens in every movie: the guys who are shooting all the time suddenly stop and let the main character(s) kill them. What a classic.

Betrayal wasn't expected but didn't surprise me.

Viktor model is just outright cringe. Mask looks ridiculous. Hair looks ridiculous. Cane? A whole another level of ridiculous. Voice not at all Machine Herald's. Human face still visible under Reddit Upvote button, disgusting. Halo of runes(?) behind his head, forced Biblical stuff. Has magical husk slaves like Evelynn in LoR who has the ability to fly and infect, apparently. SUS. He also has gone to the full "people shouldn't have control" mind-set, which I don't appreciate since even the Convergence Comic Viktor at the start was hating the cult, blaming them for twisting his ideology for their own sick beliefs. His third arm just looks like a horrid monster from S.O.M.A. game, but in a really bad way. Also wow, Viktor now apparently has the power to telekinesis.

Wow, apparently Caitlyn is such a powerful and lucky(!) character that she can fight while being stabbed by a dagger. Wow. Not plot-armor at all.

I appreciated how Ambessa's men literally do nothing to help their commander, which should have happened since Noxians use any and all means necessary to win. They used Singed's chemical weapons during the invasion of Ionia. Guess they forgot about their own principle: "Guile" 💀

WW can teleport now?! Wtf. Also impenetrable skin. They're really going for that "Shuriman Ascended WW", huh? Everyone can fly now, apparently.

Wow, galactic god Viktor. So cringe. Old Viktor. Viktor paradox. How worse could it have been?

Aaand, "happy" ending because why not. 💀

Jinx using herself as a bullet? Now that's a first. Was Jinx's death supposed to be sad? Sorry, I was cringing over every other thing wrong with the act that I couldn't find it in myself to feel bad.

What I didn't understand is how did Orinna came to be??? Hello??? Can we get an explanation please??? Because she's not the Orianna we know at all.

NOOO THEY'LL DESTROY NOXUS NEXT!!! NOOOOO 😭😭😭

^^^ it's over.

Orianna got injected with Viktor's and Warwick's blood I guess, so now she has 3 dads!
