#al-an below zero

[sanharksd]

interpret it however you want, I just liked the ref from the movie, and yes I love the sea emperor and al-an, they need to meet somewhere in another life.

I need to stop betting attached to complicated ass robot characters I don't have the patience to draw

Al-An makes me extremely happy

I want to hold his weird alien hand and ride on his back like a horse (but only if that's ok with him)

He is massive boy

Also... monster alien 👀

Fandom: Subnautica Below Zero (Al-an x Robin)

Notes: none except Alan the alien is in fact not human, so maybe slight warning for implied xenophilia? Idk should I add xenophilia trigger warnings to all of my bz posts? There’s nothing explicit in my entire blog but let me know if you’d rather me do that

1) Good ol' soulmate AU

It takes Robin half a lifetime and a voyage to the other side of space to figure out why she had been THAT obsessed with anything alien ever since she could remember. It takes more than a millennia AND surviving the literal apocalypse for Alan to meet his own soulmate and even then it is her who finds him.

2) Canon divergence

Alterra gets to Al-an first. They hook his cube to a portatile power source and bring the whole thing onboard the Vesper for study. The rare times they do manage to force a response out of him, it still doesn’t come in any human language, so they bring Robin into the project as a xeno-linguist. While it seems she isn’t making any progress at first, soon a voice finds her in her dreams, making her question her own sanity as she only hears it when asleep.

So I just realized something weird about two lines from Subnautica: Below Zero...

In one set of dialogue, Al-An describes themselves as "a lone string in search of familiar harmonies."

But when you build and use a jukebox, they ask you what music is.

If they don't know what music is, how do they know to describe themselves as a string in search of harmonies?
