Yeah, Edwin, now it's not the time to worry about your boyfriend's unhealthy past relationship patterns >:(
This is my contribution for the Catwin Cultural Exchange Zine! I'm very thankful for @starlight-archer and @brokenintrovert for putting all of this together and making this amazing project possible!!
I desperately meed a bloodymary fic that's narrated in the same way as disco elysium, something like:
VOLATILE SCIENTIFIC BRAIN - It's been a while since you first got knocked unconscious.
YOU - Who are you? Where am I?
VOLATILE SCIENTIFIC BRAIN - This is your consciousness.
YOU - Who am I?
VOLATILE SCIENTIFIC BRAIN - You don't remember? The mission? Her face? The spaceship?
YOU - Spaceship?
VOLATILE SCIENTIFIC BRAIN - It's not the first time this happens to you, you'll figure it out.
PERCEPTION [Easy: Success]- You can recognize the faint sound of medical equipment, beeping as it monitors your vital signs.
DRAMA - This is the end, the doom of humanity.
YOU - Fudge...
HALF-LIGHT [Medium: Success] - You slowly open your eyes, moving blindly while tugging at the tubes connected to you.
PAIN THRESHOLD - The room is painfully bright, as any hospital room would be, except that this is no ordinary hospital room
LOGIC - The only presence in the room consist of a robot. It appears to be equipped with various medical instruments, among other things.
ARMANDO - The robot approaches you with swift, fast movements, pulling a razor with the clear intent of shaving your hair.
INTERFACING [Challenging: Success] - You manage to release yourself from the tubes restraining you, putting as much distance as you can between the razor and yourself.
ARMANDO - A robotic voice fills the air.
ARMANDO - "Please, state your name to begin the analysis."
YOU - I don't know my name.
INLAND EMPIRE - Clearly you must have one, give it a fake one for the time being.
INLAND EMPIRE [Medium: Failure] - Your name must be Ken.
YOU - Just Ken?
DRAMA - One name is enough to convey your splendor, my liege.
YOU - "Ken."
ARMANDO - The robot takes a few seconds to analyze the information it has been given before giving you its diagnostic.
ARMANDO - "Incorrect. Proceed with scanning to discard any cognitive damage."
AUTHORITY - Why does this piece of metal gets to tell you what to do?
ARMANDO - Before you can complain, the robot seizes the opportunity to scan your head. You stay still while it works on you, loudly announcing the test results.
ARMANDO - "Scans confirm neuronal damage, you may be suffering from partial memory loss. It's advised to delegate all current tasks to other crew members to ensure a smooth recovery."
LOGIC [Trivial: Success]- Based on its statement, it's safe you assume you're currently on a ship.
YOU - Am I a sailor?
LOGIC - That depends, what are you sailing, captain?
YOU - I want to sail the universe.
ENCYCLOPEDIA - The type of equipment that is in this ship is not commonly used in spaceships, that is due to how most of it is built to be used in settings with an actual gravitational force.
PERCEPTION - But none of that really matters, as you hear the sound of footsteps approaching the room.
EMPATHY - They feel heavy, as if the one making them wants to be heard before being seen.
SIMON - A man approaches the medbay, walking cautiously, as if he's not sure he's welcome there.
VOLITION - Despite his guarded demeanor, you can't help but feel like the man in front of you would trust you with his life.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Bark, bark like your life depends on it, he must know we desire him.
Guards! Put the blond man in spandex in situations!
Welcome to the Star Spider Grace AU Pilot! Here’s the previous Initial concepts . Me & Sam have been brewing this concept and now we’re both into too deep. Dunno how many chapters I will draw but anyway-

Fics inspired by this concept:
Project Evolution by @sam-i-am-27 : THE fic. Sam and I have been coming out with most of the concepts together (both for the comic and the fic) but this is their own work so go check them out! Since we draw/write each at our own pace some stuff are/will be different.
