#the whole ask blog runs on the premise of bothering-- i mean. interacting with the employees of JDS as they work

"Mr. Drew? What kind of personality does bendy have off set? Is he still mischievous or is he laid back?"

“Off set? Can there even be an off set when there’s no on set? Well, regardless… he’s always rather mischievous, even after-hours he likes to make trouble for Boris, Alice, and myself. He can be quite a handful, but he wouldn’t truly be Bendy otherwise, right?”

Howdy howdy if youre reading this then that means you've either A. Saw the post I made on me main account telling you about this blog or B. You saw one of the images i posted on the tags here and wanted to see what angst I got in store for you.

Now time to tell yall what exactly is Gore Neo.

The Gore Spamton NEO AU, shortened as Gore Neo or just Gore, is an AU that was originally thought of when I made a concept art of Spamton NEO being heavily mutated due to the debilitated state of the NEO Suit. After rambling about it in the Spamton discord server, and giving it some more thought, I decided to create a whole AU storyline based on it. :0

The general premise of the story is simply Spamton NEO but he's permentally mutilated due to his trauma manifesting into physical wounds and now all he wants is just sweet relief.

There's also a WIP storyline in which Spamton runs away from the Fun Gang during their fight and he ends up reuniting with the Addisons, who help get his life a bit back together.

A bit of a TW before you delve into this blog and AU in general: This AU contains mentions of suicide, suicidal thoughts, Gore(duh), Mental illness, body horror, self-harm, and the puppet man in pain. If those things are a bother to you, I highly advise you leave this blog alone.

Bit of miscellaneous stuff here too, along with some rules

In this AU I headcanon the Addisons as being siblings to Spamton, and this also has Swatchton in it. Would appreciate if you refrained from making any Gore!Spamton x Addison (unless its an OC addison) plz :,D and ESPECIALLY do not make any Gore!Spamton x Kris (platonic is ok tho)

Refrain from doing roleplay stuff like "[Heals spamton]", "[uses CD Bagel on Spamton]", "[suddenly Spamton's wounds magically heal!]", shit like that. It just ruins the general plot/point of the story, plus the wounds are meant to be unhealable too- I will however accept scenarios or asks like "[proceeds to place gauze over Spamton's injuries]" because while they wont exactly heal him, the man deserves a bit of a break from the pain :,0

Feel free to have your spamtons or OCs interact with Gore Neo and the Addisons!

Do not interact with this blog if youre an exclusionist of any kind, a proshipper, MAP/NOMAP, or anti-anti.

Respect the character's pronouns and sexualities please-

I'm still kind of rusty with Spamton's dialog(writing dialoge in general is a bit of a chore), so sorry if its hard to understand anything I write-

Grey anon fuck off

I'll mostly be dumping all my Gore Neo art here, along with the HCs ive made here and the reference sheets too, though maybe one day I'll make this an ask blog too :0

Idk what else to put here ndjdjdjd enjoy your stay here

The Butcher’s Knife Cares Not For The Lamb’s Cry - Star Trek: Discovery blog

(SPOILER WARNING: The following is an in-depth critical analysis. If you haven’t seen this episode yet, you may want to before reading this review)

Couldn’t they have thought of something a bit less clunky for their title? When the title of your episode is so ridiculously long that it ends up taking up half the screen on Netflix, maybe you should think about condensing that shit down just a tad.

Right then. The Butcher’s... No. Fuck that. I’m just calling it Episode 4. What did I think of it? Well it’s better than Context Is For Kings. In fact it’s a lot better than Context Is For Kings. There are still some problems, sure, but at least I could watch this one without tearing my hair out in frustration.

The bulk of the episode revolves around Michael studying the creature from the previous episode. Admittedly it does that annoying thing at first where everyone says they need Michael’s help only to then prevent her from doing anything because they don’t trust her. Well if you don’t trust her, why are you asking her for help in the first place?

Gabriel wants Michael to study the creature in order to weaponise it, so Michael starts looking into its behaviour. A very sensible idea. I mean you don’t want to start rushing in with scalpels or syringes or anything until you fully understand what this creature is thinking and what it’s capable of, right? Enter obnoxious bitch Commander Landry. See Little Miss Dumbass over here is getting impatient that Michael isn’t progressing fast enough for her liking and so, knowing full well what the creature is capable of because she tangled with it in the previous episode, promptly marches into the containment cell with a gun, planning to crudely lop bits off the creature only to then get a faceful of monster. (Also the irony that she, a woman of colour, is negatively judging another life form based solely on their appearance appears to have sailed clean over her head). What an utter tit!

Still, once all that bullshit is out of the way, I can’t deny the stuff with the creature is interesting, as is the characters’ reactions to it. We see Michael’s compassion and curiosity start to creep back in as she interacts and tames the creature, and we start to see Paul Stamets open up a bit more. Okay, he’s still a little bit too whiny for my liking, but I do appreciate the show’s attempts to humanise him as we see just how much his work means to him. His joy when he realises that the creature and the spores are symbiotically linked is pretty uplifting and I hope we see more of this side of Stamets.

But what i find especially clever is that while them getting the warp drive working is a cause for celebration, it’s dampened somewhat by the fact that they are exploiting a living creature for their own ends. That was a really nice touch as we see Michael looking visibly uncomfortable at what they’re doing to creature whilst everyone else is cheering at their accomplishments. In fact Michael’s guilt plays a large part in this episode. Her friendship with Saru has hit an all time low and the last will and testament of Philippa just adds more salt in the wound as she and the audience question how much more of her morality she will compromise in order to win this war.

But while all the stuff about the creature and the ethics surrounding it was interesting, my big problem with it is this feels like the wrong episode to be doing this in. This all should have been done in the previous episode where it felt more relevant because this is not the time or the place to be exploring this. The main premise is that a mining colony is under attack by Klingons and the Discovery needs to get there and rescue them. This should be a pulse pounding, race against time with hundreds of lives in the balance, but at no point does it ever feel like that. There’s almost no tension or suspense. Nobody is desperately scrambling around or panicking over the fact that the warp drive isn’t working and that they’re running out of time. In fact it’s the complete opposite. Everyone seems to be casually strolling around, cool as cucumbers. Even the audio of one of the colonists saying a preemptive goodbye doesn’t seem to worry anyone into action as far as I can tell. The only time it ever gets close to tense is when the ship nearly crashes into a sun. Apart from that, nobody seems particularly bothered that people are going to die. Part of the reason is because the focus is largely on the creature, which is all wrong. It just distracts from what should be an extremely tense scenario and it just feels really jarring. It’s hard to be entranced by an alien eating spores when people are getting killed as we speak.

While everything that occurs in Starfleet is hit and miss, the action that takes place on the Klingon side is incredibly good. We get more of an insight into how the Klingons work, specifically their obsession with purity. They’d rather starve to death in the vacuum of space rather than loot one of the Federation’s starships because they consider it to be blasphemy. We also learn that the Klingon Empire isn’t as united as it first appears. The 24 houses may be fighting for a common cause, but they’re not in any way allies and will gladly stab each other in the back for personal gain.

One thing I was especially impressed with was Voq, the outcast and new Torchbearer from the opening two parter. The show did a really good job of getting us to empathise with him and better understand just how much this cause means to him, to the point where I was surprised to find myself actually feeling sorry for him at the end when he was betrayed and seemingly left for dead (even despite the fact knowing that he ate Philippa’s corpse). This is largely down to nuanced writing and great acting. It would get boring real fast if the writers stuck to the whole angry space orc thing, which makes the conversation between him and L’Rell (I think that’s her name) while they’re salvaging the dilithium processor that much more powerful and interesting. It’s smaller, quieter and more touching than what I would have expected from the Klingons based on my very limited knowledge of them, and a lot of credit has to go to David Iqbal and Mary Chieffo for their brilliant performances. They have arguably the hardest jobs of any of the actors in this show and they did exceptionally well here. I’m genuinely curious as to where they go from here.

Yes there are flaws and quite a few things I can complain about, but overall I thought Episode 4 was pretty enjoyable overall.

...

I still think that title is way too long though.
