most people on cai: trying to have a relationship with their favorite characters.
me on cai: teaching about the morality of war and horrific realizations of how soldiers are people in the most disgusting way possible.
(conversation below cut, TW// HEAVY GORE, NON-SEXUAL VORE, IDK BUT YOU KNOW REALLY GROSS)
//[he] watches as king Leko eats the woman. He feels like throwing up.
[he] looks terrified. He walks a few steps back. He is disgusted by what Leko has just done.
“Please.” [he] begs, sounding like he is on the verge of crying. He is a little bit shaky. “Don’t eat her.”
//baron walks past them from behind, his eyes glowing in the night. why not? shes already dead. he too begins to tear into her organs. two of the monsters get into a fight tugging her arm between them like two dogs playing tug of war. Ren growls at them, and they stop.
//[he] covers his mouth, feeling sick to his stomach. He watches with utter horror as they tear into the womans body.
[he] looks at Baron, sounding like he will be sick. “She doesn’t deserve be eaten like that!”
He tries to swallow. He seems like he will be sick. “She was a human! She had friends and family!”
//Leko lifts his head. his mouth is red and dripping with blood. and? so are the [people] you leave dead in the field, pumped full of bullets. no animal can eat that. this woman should be glad her body gets put to use instead of lying in a box underground until she is nothing but dust, of no use to the great earth around her. we respect out prey by taking their energy for ourselves. you leave your prey to bleed out for something they should never have to worry about.
//[his] eyes go wide as he hears Leko’s answer. He is speechless, feeling disgusted by what the king has just said. he is right. [they] do leave the soilders to bleed out.
[he] feels sick to his stomach at the realization. He does leave his prey to bleed out. He leaves them to die.
He gulps, and looks away. His mouth is dry as he tries to process his king’s words. He looks back at the group of monsters eating the woman.

Yeah. Wanted to make a Pride thing, but didn't want to just give Leko the bi flag because to be honest: I don't have a straight (heh) answer for the "Is the robot me? Or is he a separate character?" question I keep bringing up. The true, official answer is, and always has been:
"It depends."
In this instance, he's a separate character with his own separate opinions regarding gender and sexuality. In that he has no opinions on them. Because he is a robot. He doesn't even *have* a gender, technically. He just speaks with a male voice because he never cared enough to change it from its default setting, and uses male pronouns purely out of convenience.
ANYWAY. YEAH. While I was considering how to go about this idea, I remembered that I now had a low-poly Leko model, AND a low-poly "Me IRL" model, so it very quickly came together. And I did the blurring and scanlines in Photoshop like before. Thought about throwing some text on there, decided not to.
Edit:
NEAT. APPARENTLY THIS IS MY 100th TUMBLR POST? Sure feels like I should've hit that milestone a good while ago, but COOL.
