It’s hard being an apex predator.

David 8

So David 8 has always been so intriguing for me. He's an android an artificial being who's programed to feel and be like humans. And yet he's a bit human at times. His childlike curiosity of things he finds interesting like Shaw and her dreams about her father. Or his favorite movie and later on the black goo and what it could do to various lifeforms.

He's a bit human most times because of the curiosity until it gets morbid.

Oh and yes I do believe he did love Shaw in his own morbid ways of course. See when Weyland was alive David needed to follow his directive which was make Weyland happy and do everything and anything he says to make that happen. But then he died and that essentially made him a "free man". The purpose of his directives are gone and now he can have his own directives for himself and not for anyone. He can satisfy his curiosities without consequences of delaying Weyland's wishes because the old chap is dead. He can do what he want. And he did in fact do all he wanted.

Even Shaw was not safe from his selfish wants. When he developed deep seated love for her after she put him back which was a long time coming as he's always favored her the most for her little kindness towards him unlike the other crew or Weyland and Vickers. She'd thank him despite it being his job. She's not unnecessarily mean to him like everyone else. It made sense why he'd love her. To experience kindness is to eventually crave it. Pine for it. And to David, Shaw was probably the embodiment of it because he never experienced it from anyone other than her.

Because he's emotionally immature and obviously his programming has been tweaking long before shit hit the fan he doesn't really know how love works. He doesn't know that love is about caring, and respect for your loved ones. David doesn't know how to love others because Weyland doesn't either. Weyland only loves himself and prioritizes all his wants over everyone else's even his own daughter. It once again makes sense why David is the way he is because he's as Weyland quoted "And I made him in my own image so he could be perfect. So he would never fail."

David is a much worse Weyland I guess?? Just more committed to experimental monstrosity because he's more intelligent. My guess is that after spending time with Shaw and experiencing her kindness over time he started to delude himself that he's something special to her. He means something to her like Holloway meant something to Shaw. He deludes himself into thinking they're some sort of couple. And what do life long devoted couples usually have? A baby. Or Children.

So like a man thinking a child would fix things between him and his wife he thought of making Shaw a mother once again. Something Shaw would never be but most distressingly became one because of an alien babe. But this time he would be the father not Holloway. So he experimented on her, he was creating "life" from her parts and making her more resilient as well. Keeping her alive for her to witness their perfect "children" come to life. Eventually she succumbs and dies, which leaves him distraught. Which is why we get the scene of him crying in Covenant when he talks to Walter near her grave. She was never meant to die, she was only meant to mutate so she wouldn't die when he took from her. She was supposed to be with him forever with their "children". Yet she did and even then he doesn't regret mutating her, he'd probably thought of going about it another way to ensure she lives but he'd still experiment on her.

David's new directive is his wants and not even his love could stop these directives, he wanted to create life with Shaw as they both couldn't on their own. He couldn't be a father because he was an artificial being and Shaw couldn't because she's infertile. And because he thought Shaw wanted a baby, so he was going to use her to create their baby. Their special baby. I think that's also why he reacted so strongly when the neomorph was shot at because this was his baby with Shaw. One of the only things that carries Shaw is these monstrosities he's created from her. They're a reminder of Shaw and his brilliance.

Sorry for the double post with a similiar picture but this fullbody was initially just a design test so I figured I'd use it as a reference sheet too! I've drawn Jenna a bunch, but I've never actually introduced her, so here's some info about her!!

--> JENNA

Dog alien + protomorph mix

She/her - 8'0ft | 2,4 m

She's a character I'm writing for fun, she's not supposed to fit the Alien lore.

Jenna (nicknamed Ring Pop sometimes) is a sweet and kind hearted xenomorph, she comes from a unique hive that doesn't work the way hives usually do so she doesn't attack humans or behave aggressively at all.

She can speak and enjoys upbeat music and all things pink and glittery.

Her story is set between 1990 and the early 2000's, she owns some tech from that period: for example a little pink portable radio and a phone with a sliding keyboard.

She often wears clothes, her outfits can be anything. She dresses sporty or casual usually, whatever doesn't limit her movements.

She enjoys jewelry too! Especially colorful and/or clear beads, big charms, rubber bracelets and accessories.

She's a very fast runner, athletic and a good climber. She has quite a lot of strength too, she isn't aggressive though so she doesn't fight.

Her nails, teeth and tail blade are made out of metal.

Her fur tufts are also made out of thin metal hair, her fur is very dangerous as it's easy to get cut. For that reason she doesn't allow people to touch it.

Her ears are purely aesthetic.

This is all! She's just a girlie in the end🎀

This is how I see the evolutionary lineage of the Alien, as portrayed in total by the films:

Deacon -> Neomorph -> Praetomorph -> Xenomorph

With the Deacon being the natural, unaltered form of the Starbeast, and later iterations being increasingly altered and adapted.
