Vanishing Point
Trying to write EDI’s pov is almost as weird as Legion’s. Small comfort; at least EDI is only one consciousness and not, you know, a thousand.
Welcome back, muse. I know the EC spooked you, but you can come out now. Nothing exploded. I promise you can write more Kaidan soon, ‘kay?
So the claim is made that each Reaper contains the memories and knowledge of each civilization. They create this amalgam by making genetic soup out of members of said civilization.
At the moment of creation, each person that goes into this creation is aware… aware enough to fully experience the horror they are being subjected to. This pattern has been on repeat for millions of years- sometimes it takes centuries of brutal war and slaughter to birth these new Reapers, time enough to grind even the most enlightened people into desperate savages.
Lets not forget the jaw-dropping horror of Reaper tactics- submission of will to indoctrination. Total corruption of the body. Turning loved ones against each other. Mass, bloody slaughter. Each person that goes into the creation does so after a lifetime of the worst loss and trauma we could possibly imagine.
Knowledge and wisdom my foot. Each Reaper is a ball of condensed horror and suffering, a distillation of a civilization’s worth of traumatic terror. Every molecule of the new Reaper is soaked in misery.
Is it any wonder they exist only to perpetrate the same on the next cycle?
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE.

I’m getting tired of the phenomenon where I’m working on something I have an abnormally high emotional attachment to, so as a result the expectations I have for my own work are so wildly out of proportion that I can’t be honestly happy or objective about the result.
Contrast that to working on something where I have much less bound up in it, so I’m perfectly okay with the attempt even if it doesn’t blow anything away. I can appreciate what I think came out well and live with the faults.
For someone with a five+ year attachment to an OTP, I’ve done staggeringly little artwork of it, and that’s exactly why. Because my ego/muse/snobby art asshole refuses to be happy with anything I’ve done of it. Despite the fact that I’ve been quite content with lower-quality work of plenty of other things.
It seems there are at least a few Hellboy/BPRD fans here on Tumblr, maybe it’s time we revealed ourselves! If you like these comics enough to post about them, or draw fanart or write fic, feel free to reblog this post, maybe with a story of how you…
I’ve been collecting Hellboy for years now, and it’s among my very favorite comics. I’ve only done a couple of bits of fan art, but I’ll probably do more in the future!
BioWare is releasing the Extended Cut DLC to sci-fi role-playing game Mass Effect 3 on June 26, it said today.
You’ll be able to download it for free on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. It’s a whopping 1.9 gigabytes.
Here we go. For good or ill, it’s finally going to be over. *cue ambivalent music*
Oooh! I like the roughly painted grayscale… I say don’t refine it too much further than what they’re at right now. :D
Hehe. I was planning on refining, but I also do kind of like how the three-tone grayscale looks. Depending on how it turns out (especially skin tones, heh) I’ll probably keep a version of it too. :)
