2/3 of my works for聽@dtfanzine聽! Meet聽Sir Edmund Rockwell, a tragic villain from 19th century London who is hell bent to make a legacy out of his scientific research of Edmundium that irreversibly turned him into a paranoid monster, threatening to mold the universe in his vision.
So, I binged ARK: The Animated series today. It's a TV show, which is based on a video game and not only is it great but, I swear to God, whoever wrote this set out with the intention of pissing off the Gamerbro crowd as much as humanly possible.
Stuff that will make the Gamerbros cry and whine like little babies:
01). Main Character is a Aboriginal Australian Lesbian (Voiced by an Aboriginal Australian Actress no less).
02). Main Character's wife is a blue haired women who works as a translator for a humanitarian air organization (voiced by Elliot Page).
03). Main Character is a neurodivergent paleontologist.
04). Main Character's mother was a civil rights activist.
05). There's a plot line revolving around protesting the taking of Aboriginal lands.
06). Another major character is a Chinese Warrior Woman who is also a great big lesbian (voiced my Michelle Yeoh).
07). Main villain is a Roman General (Voiced by Gerard Butler)
08). Secondary Villain is an 19th century British Scientist (Voiced by David Tenant)
09). Tertiary Villain is a female Roman Gladiator.
10). Another major character is a Lakota man from the 19th century who was abducted from his tribe and sent to one of the Indian boarding schools.
11). The Main Character is better at science than the 19th Century British Scientist guy.
Great things about the show:
01). It's very gay. Like, so gay.
02). The characters are freaking awesome.
03). There are freaking dinosaurs. So many dinosaurs.
04). It makes you feel. Just, seriously, it makes you fucking feel.
Cons:
01). Content Warning: Self Unaliving in episode 1
02). This show is fucking violent. Like, I get that there's this whole 'battle for survival' thing going on, but we're talking kind of gratuitous 03). levels of violence. Seriously, half the animation budget was spent on red paint. That much violence.
04). The show is predictable AF. Like, I don't mind that, but don't expect any real surprises or plot twists.
In conclusion: Watch the fuck out of this show, because cons aside, it was freaking amazing. It's not like, Arcane levels of perfection, but if you want a fun, gay, show to watch, this is a great choice. There is also a part too already filmed and in the can which will drop later this year, so we're definitely getting more, and even the preview for Part II has gay in it.
Honestly? ark tas not being lore accurate only matters if you're a little bitch. I for one am enjoying the series, I don't think its mischaracterization or flanderization or anything of the sort, its just a new story going in a new direction. Let the writers cook.
