Bucky was screaming in pain. Feeling as the air tore through his throat as he did so. The familiar feeling of crying out for help with no response.

He was being taken somewhere. He had been pulled from the debris and snow of the Austrian Alps where he had plunged into the ravine but instead of being whisked away to safety he was taken deeper into the clutches of the enemy. Again.

He had been restrained. He felt himself thrashing around with a sever lack of weight his left side. He didn't stop to figure out why he just fought. Kicked and screamed and clawed and fought until he couldn't. He silently begged for some way out to appear but there wasn't one.

He had been strapped down to a sterile bench when he had awoken whilst being taken from the truck.

He had his ankles locked into a set of medical belts and his right arm had been handcuffed to the hand rail along with his chest and neck. He couldn't move but still he fought.

And he realised after a while that something was wrong. He was light headed. More so than when he had hit the ground.

Finally looking to his left he saw why. His whole left arm was missing, instead all that was left was a bloody and broken stump with bone and blood being all that was left.

That's when the real screaming had begun.

Not caring whether he lived or died only hoping to be free of the scientist he desperately fought against the restraints. But even with whatever experimentation had kept him alive in the fall was still not strong enough for him to break away from this.

One of the doctors ran over and jabbed a needle into his arm and he screamed again. The long thin metal piercing something too deeply in his leg.

"GET OFF ME" he yelled. His voice cracking on the last word as his body began to sink and his mind slipped away.

No.

No no no what had they done to him

This couldn't be happening. It couldn't

And then it all went dark.

When he woke up again. He was drowsy and delirious. He felt like he had been hit by a truck. As he blinked and tried to focus in the stark white light shining in on his face he saw the doctors again. He tried to fight but his body was limp and mostly numb. He felt heavy and he felt restrained. Was it more than before? He didn't know.

But the one thing he did feel was the blinding pain in his arm and the buzzing of a drill in his left ear

"No, what are you doing to me!" he whined softly. His tongue refusing to co operate with him. He felt groggy the same way you did when you woke up from a nap. Except this was 10 times worse and more nightmarish.

"Ah Sargent Barnes" a voice called to him dimly. It echoed strangely from where he was laying. But he could see the face of a man with spectacles and lines in his face.

Bucky regaining some feeling in his body bucked his hips. Trying to release himself one more but it was merely more than a futile attempt. More doctors held him down and he was immobile again. He shook his head back and forth trying to get his neck free. Or to hurt a doctor or something. Anything.

"The procedure has already started"

"No stop it. Get awAY FROM ME" he screamed again his voice even more hoarse than before.

He hears a sigh before another doctor plunged a needle into his flesh again and the world slipped away from him.

He managed a weak 'please no' before he slipped completely.

When he woke up his head was raised. His neck was unstrained and he wasn't in pain. He ached all over but it was better then it had been.

He looked around there were still doctors in the room. But none of them were looking at him.

Having felt the weight return to his arm he held it up.

But how? He didn't have one

And that was true, not made of flesh and blood but metal and mechanics instead.

He looked at it. Curled his fingers into a fist and flexed them. He stared in awestruck fear at the device that looked like his arm.

What in God's name was this technology. This was nothing like he had seen. Not even at the Future Expo

One of the doctors walked over to him and he watched. His eyes still half closed as he came out of whatever chemical induced state he had been in.

The doctor was watching him move his hand, he had a clipboard and pen in his own.

He was smiling.

The bastard was smiling.

Internally praising himself over a job well done.

Bucky would show him. Show him what he could do with this Doctors accomplishment

He took the Doctor by the neck and started squeezing. He tried to sit up but brighter spots and a dark shadow clouded his vision.

He listened to the doctor splutter before he went silent. Bucky dropped him to the ground, the clipboard clustering in the side of his table.

Bucky tried to stand but was forced back into the cold steel of the table. Just as another doctor came at him with a third needle and jammed it into his neck.

He cried out but once more began to slip away.

What had they done to him. Why had he been taken. Why wasn't he dead? He wished he was. He wished he was anywhere but here. Even if that meant hell.

Because that's where he was going right. He had a hand to play in this horrible night mare that had been the past year. There was no way he would grace the gate of heaven.

God couldn't possibly love him now. Instead he would be taken to the warm embrace of hell

If only he would die

I love him so much why do I do this to him

You know how the sky changes color when Danny transforms?

So! This is just something that came to me literally 5 seconds ago.

When Danny Transforms, the Sky and color pallet of the world around him changes as well right? The Sky turns Green, and the buildings turn Purple and the such, and I like to think that the everyone feels a sense of Death when it happens.

Now imagine this scene.

Danny had moved to Gotham, and he was making sure to stay under the Radar. He didn't want to reveal that he was a Ghost, since the GIW was still semi active.

But right now, he was about to he attacked by Joker, so he really didn't have a choice.

He transformed.

The sky turned green, the buildings turned purple, and everyone in the vicinity felt a sense of pure Death in the area.

Off to the side, one of the Bats saw that, and mumbled to themselves, "Oh my God, he has a Domain Expansion."

you should talk about your thoughts on rw fanon (looking with huge eyes)

Oh god, there's a lot of major misconceptions have concreted into fanon, mostly around ancient society and ascension.

First things first! Ascension is not death! They are entirely separate things treated entirely separately by the text of the game. I can see where the interpretation is coming from, but it doesn't really align with how the text treats either subject. Five Pebbles may want to remove the self destruction taboo, but from his reaction to the rot it's clear that he doesn't want to die. Conflation of ascension and death only comes up as an offhand possibility that pebbs makes on iterator 4chan, when he's going into the possibilities of scenarios that even the other sliverists are doubtful of! (let me make clear that I am not a sliverist by any means)

Ascension is more of talked about as a form of transcendence, yeah? A Bell, Eighteen Amber Beads talks about their sitution as being "To have grasped at the boundless infinites of the cosmic void…", not as them seeking an end to life.

The beta dialogue goes into more detail, mentioning the "infinities of time and space" and the "boundless fractal planes of spirit and reality...", though this dialogue was cut and it's hard to tell how much it reflects the concept as in the released game.

As for the cultural misconceptions... there's A Lot to talk about, but the first that comes to mind is the common conflation of the five natural urges and the christian concept of sin.

It is true that the negation of urges is mentioned by moon as an alternative method of ascension, but much of what we know about the culture of the people who the fandom calls the ancients (which makes discussion of the depths a mess but that's something for another post entirely) points towards the urges not being seen as shameful.

Even the first urge does not seem to be particularly scorned! Being a warrior is presented as a cause for bragging in the Shaded Citadel pearl, being comparable with being an artist and a fashion legend. The second urge, also does not seem to be suppressed. Multiple sources attribute some level of honour to parenthood! The aforementioned pearl also mentions Seventeen Axes, Fifteen Spoked Wheel as being a "Mother, Father and Spouse" without any hint of shamefulness. Nineteen Spades, Endless Reflections expresses pride about having progeny, mentioning it alongside their owned land and esteem among their peers.

After some peer review, an esteemed friend has told me to add a section on purposed organisms as well! This is not so much my area, so I might be a bit off on some things.

As moon says, the majority of purposed organisms were tubes in boxes, and that the primal fauna of the world are almost entirely extinct. A lot of the fandom seems to ignore the first part, and i can't say I blame them, but the evolution of the creatures is so much weirder than people think.

Concept art for the creatures has this interesting quality to it, where the organic parts of the creatures have an almost... melty quality to them.

In the concept art, the flesh appears as if it's almost defying the machinery to form an animal shape. It's as if it's conquering its own artificiality the way the foliage grows over the (stone, brick and concrete, not mostly metal as some think!) ruins.

Of course, it's hard to really tell how much of this reflects the finalised concept, most of the integration is much smoother in the game, in line with a seamless kind of biomechanical design. There was always an intention of biomechanical strangeness, as shown in this screenshot of the devlog before the term "slugcat" even existed!

That said, the melty nature of the concept art shows a level of wild change inherent the biomechanical nature of the creatures, as if they truly are the result of these "tubes in boxes" almost revolting against their own boxes.

and considering centipedes... some tubes may not have had boxes in the first place!

I have finished @bbgfhrtyeet3tg3524 [can't @ them] request to draw Agent 4 teaming up with Commander Tartar!

It's a piece about their fun and unique AU!

The moment you uttered the word "surf-mode" I knew exactly what I was going draw.

So here is Agent 4 using Commander Tartar as a surfboard to cross a wave of oil! 🎉

You know what, I figured out why we're having so many errors in Destiny 2 now. It's because with the addition of Micah-10, we've finally reached a critical mass of women with drop dead gorgeous voices, and the game simply can't handle it anymore. It's like Telesto. Too powerful. If they'd actually put Ikora Rey in a rendered cutscene for more than 5 seconds it would have shut down the servers for good

[brotherconstant]

You have no idea who he is. You were only there when he was a baby who needed to be protected. I was there when he learned to walk. I was there when he first went out into vacuum. I was there for all the moments his mother should have been there. And I've felt guilty every day since.

yuji and sukuna in the train station left me speechless like I've never thought the first season opening would be a foreshadowing i only thought MAPPA animated it because it looks awesome 😭💟

The fact that Garak was not in Dr Bashir I presume is such bullshit. Garak answering interview question? Finding out that Bashir also hates his dad? Complementing Bashir for his duplicity? We were ROBBED
