moved blogs!!

Debating moving blogs since none of my posts with pictures ever show up in tags. I don't really want to abandon this blog, but also. I doubt tumblr is ever going to fix this, so.

gotta be careful hugging a guy who's instinctive reaction to physical contact is "i'm being attacked i need to defend myself" in not so many words

So I know that classic Doom and modern Doom are separated by like 150ish years or something with classic starting in 2022 (hey. Hey NASA. d'you mind holding off on the Mars exploration for just a few years. Just to be on the safe side.) and classic being sometime in the 2160-something, but I can't stop thinking about how they line up well enough that they could take place at the same time, especially considering how it's already implied that time-space shenanigans can happen when traveling through Hell, what with Argent D'nur being in the past.

Like, imagine that it turns out when classic Doomguy first gets stationed on Mars, modern Doomguy is already there, just still in stasis- and Hayden, knowing who Doomguy is, was the one to pull some strings to make sure classic Doomguy got assigned there so he was where he needed to be. Then the Hell invasion starts, classic DG goes up to Phobos. Once he's in Hell, Hayden wakes up modern DG and 2016 takes place, ending with Hayden kicking modern DG back into Hell, and classic DG landing back on earth to find Daisy dead and Earth is invaded.

So while classic DG is fighting his way back into Hell, modern DG is fighting his way out, and they swap places, with classic DG going to fight the icon of sin and modern DG coming to hunt down the Hell priests. Classic DG is able to weaken the icon, but without a Crucible, is (unknowingly) unable to kill it, and while he makes his way back to Earth, the Khan Maykr revives it, and modern DG puts it down for good.

Finally, Doom 64 and the Ancient Gods DLC take place at the same time, ending with classic Doomguy spending aeons in Hell to eventually land in Argent D'nur in the past and become modern Doomguy, and modern Doomguy dealing with Davoth and getting sealed up again.

I dunno, I just think it's a neat idea, especially considering it's implied 2016 and Eternal's Doomguy is the same one, but the classic Hell invasion is never really acknowledged in the game's lore. Plus Hayden would have to deal with twice as much Doomguy at once and I think he deserves that.

Absolutely LOVE the fact that classic Doom occasionally forces you to sprint across hazard pits to get critical items. it's a canon fact that sometimes doomguy just goes "well I can't get through this locked door so I guess I'll just run across that pool of lava :)" and then he just skitters across it turned at a 45° angle like some sort of half-crab

Samuel Hayden is such a comedic character, and the DLCs just make him even more ridiculous. Like the first time you meet him you think he's this sick robot with a cool voice who runs the biggest research company in the solar system, and then you learn that before that he was some sort of quasi-angel extradimensional angel creature, but then you actually start looking at him and his actions, and he's just so stupid.

Like, he was there when Argent D'nur literally went to Hell, then when he came to Earth to hide with the consciousness of a god that was being actively hunted by the dark lord of Hell, his first decision was to assume the position of the head of the company that was regularly opening portals to Hell. When he found doomguy in Hell, he just decided to keep DG in the sarcophagus like instant supersoldier in a can, just add water. At the end of 2016, he kicks doomguy back into Hell with the implication that it's because he thinks using Argent Energy is the only way to do things, then he goes and straight up dies offscreen, and when you bring him back in Eternal, he spends the rest of the game telling you how Earth's destruction wasn't his fault, and how if he had been the one in control, it wouldn't have happened, even though he literally was the one in control of the UAC when they opened the hell portals. He also spends a considerable amount of time talking about he's on doomguy's side, only to go and try to stop doomguy from fighting Davoth. Then after he gets his butt thoroughly kicked, he presumably dies offscreen again, going by the way he's hardly ever mentioned at all for the entire rest of the story- except to say that his only real claim to fame, putting doomguy through the Divinity Machine, wasn't even really his own idea and he was being manipulated by Davoth, so basically whatever he said about doomguy owing him anything was entirely false.

All I'm saying is that you think he's a jerk but has at least some sort of intelligence in there, but the second you actually start to look at him, it turns out he only has a single braincell and it's wholly devoted to maintaining his ego.

Drew a doomguy, but there was empty space on the paper, so I added an intern

probably single-handedly the most terrifying, demonic thing i've ever seen happen in this game.

The power went out at my house last night, so who better to draw by candlelight than a couple of friends to help light up the dark?

so apparently tumblr will show my normal textposts in tag searches, but if I add a picture or a read more or anything else to a post, it won't show up in the tags, and I'm not sure what to do about that.

just a littol kiddo

Anyway, UnderHero is also an absolutely fantastic little game and you should all go play it now
