I'm new, please interact with me!

So I'm a new Subnautica blog. Here's some stuff I wanna talk about:

Is it possible to apply real world physics to Subnautica, including things like how scuba diving works, and the risks of decompression? I think it is if Planet 4546B has less than a third the gravity of Earth. I have thoughts. I've been doing math! Edit: here's my thoughts.

Eating nothing but fish and raw vegetables isn't a great diet! What recipes can you make with the ingredients available in the games? Are there things that you could potentially eat with a little preparation that aren't available in the games? I've been coming up with recipes using real world analogues for game ingredients. This is much easier in Below Zero than it is in Subnautica, so that's where I've been focusing. Edit: Here's some initial thoughts about this. Here's some recipe ideas.

There's a certain point in the games where everything gets way too easy. I'm writing a story set in Below Zero where Robin experiences a series of catastrophes that leave her without fabrication technology. She has to homestead it. I've been trying to figure out the logistics of that.

There's a document in Below Zero which you can find in the Mercury II which mentions cooking with a jailbroken fabricator. Fabrication tech is really fascinating once you stop to think about it. It's an atomic rearranger. How would you go about cooking with one? What else could you do with it?

There's an entire conversation to be had about whether uploading brain patterns really preserves a person, or whether it just makes a copy of a person and the original person dies. (See also: the Star Trek Transporters are Actually Murder theory.) I haven't seen anyone talking about it! I want to hear Al-An's thoughts on it! Edit: Here's a mini fic I wrote about a conversation between Al-An and Robin on the subject.

And of course I'm always interested in worldbuilding: Architect society, Alterra society, further details about the biology of aliens, what living with an alien in your head is actually like, all of it!

I'm fifty pages into a Below Zero fic draft and my roommate is tired of me talking about it! Please reblog to help me find people to talk about this stuff with!

Absolutely loved the ghost weed I did in this style so I did the acid mushrooms as well, not sure how much I like the colours, cause these things are so hard to colour right, might do the deep shrooms next, at least those seem a bit easier to colour

what a badass

Wake Me From My Slumber

I took a look at how squishy bean I usually draw AL-AN and decided to challenge myself on his details for this- assessment: very wrinkly, needs lotion

There is a gore version of this under the cut :3

The original intention was to have his ribcage completely ripped open with someone tenderly holding his heart, but I unfortunately couldn't get it to work out- his organs are still just as beautiful tho

Kinda wanna eat them- they look like gummies :3

I am too saddened by the fact that our dear Samantha has died. Well, what can you do if the main character had to visit this planet for some reason. But nothing prevents me from coming up with an AU where Sam survives, and while the others are distracted by the destruction of the Omega laboratory, Margaret decides to check on her new friend. Where she discovers her half-dead and takes her away.

Specifically, on art Margaret needed to go out on business, she left Sam alone at her base, and upon returning, she found that Samantha's hands itched too much. It's nothing serious, but the former mercenary still didn't like that Sam was messing with her equipment.

Summary:

Robin didn’t remember exactly what she was dreaming about; she just knew that she had been dreaming with a sense of urgency. The alarm pulled her towards consciousness like surfacing from underwater. She slapped at her PDA and it silenced, but it was too late. She was already awake. She was sore all over, hungry, thirsty, and she needed to pee. The ground seemed to be leaching warmth from her back, so she sat up and stretched.

“What happens as you are sleeping?” the alien in her brain asked.

Robin jumped, startled. She’d forgotten about him.
