This is an art piece. It is of a small flesh onion friend with a big heart and a teethy abyss of a mouth. This is an art piece, a political statement, and an art piece. I will say again, for when this painting I spent literal days on is inevitably flagged, this is an art piece.

Can you tell more about Dr. Dyatlov? If you don't mind?

erfisjdnfimjskdfn yes yes YES

- She’s vaguely anomalous, keyword vaguely. Her anomaly is somewhere along the lines of absorption, sorta? A little like 590

- She was briefly put on a research project concerning SCP-2192 and one accidental exposure later she became radioactive

- Other than the radioactive thing she’s pretty normal, actually

- uhh she suffers pretty badly from radiation poisoning

- Her main job is analyzing radio waves and locating where anomalous broadcasts originate from, but nobody can work near her for more than a few weeks at a time bc. yk. radiation

- and ALSO bc of the radiation thing, she has to live on-site so she doesn’t contaminate public spaces or arouse suspicion

- Dyatlov is sometimes called Dr. Geiger and she hates it

- The broadcast locating thing probably ends up getting her into some shit with Westhead Media specifically, though she’s also worked on projects like trying to find where 2030 tapes originate from

- Also as a result works pretty closely with the entire squad of an MTF dedicated to pinpointing certain GOIs/POIs. aka Fleshfriend’s squad from before she got demoted to Keter guard for 610.

- in a better timeline, Dyatlov and Fleshfriend would be dating

- help i accidentally made a fan mtf unit

Mackenzie “Mack” Valen - horror enthusiast, keter guard, and 610 vector fleshfriend!! bc I want to have a 610 character but it doesn’t feel right to slap it on any currently-existing character

Can you tell more about fleshfriend?

Oh sure!! Here’s a few points:

- Fleshfriend’s actual name is Mackenzie Valen (though I think I already have said that before. just to bring it up again)

- Her infection is (mostly) sentient and kind of an asshole. They don’t really have a name but she calls it Blair

- Fleshfriend starts off only partially infected by 610- mostly because Fleshfriend was “chosen” as an ambassador of sorts to spread 610′s influence, but she needs to retain her consciousness if they want to avoid suspicion

- SO for the infection is primarily in her left arm, which she sometimes puts in a fake cast to, again,, avoid suspicion

- Valen is a former single mother with one son!! Keyword former.

- 610 has a MASSIVE vendetta against the gods and their entire goal with infecting Valen was to infiltrate the High Pantheon and infect all the gods

- Absolute horror movie fiend- her favorite movie is (ironically) The Thing and she always makes references where she can. 610 does not appreciate it

- It also does not appreciate that she specifically named it after the doctor from The Thing

- As infection progresses, Valen starts kinda just. losing it. and goes full-out Aggressive Atheist(tm) in part bc of Blair’s vendetta against the gods

- Fleshfriend overall is really friendly and nice but does eventually go bonkers fuckign yonkers

Wait, so did the foundation contain flesh friend or did they leave the foundation?

Nobody actually knows they’re infected (except 049, bc, yknow, pestilience sense and all that). There is 1 imposter among us and it’s Fleshfriend

[thatmistersguy]

so, is fleshfriend completely 610-infected (like in the entry, he's died and revived but like a zombie) or has he developed some sort of agreement with it?

Sorta.. both? At some point the 610 hivemind turned its focus to religion and needed a missionary to “spread the gospel” so to speak and chose the all-too-enthusiastic-about-610 guy who guarded their area to do it

Basically, they’re mostly infected but 610 doesn’t go all the way bc it has no sense of how to act normal and human, and in the environment they’re in, if Fleshfriend isn’t acting normal 100% of the time they will be incinerated on sight and they don’t want that

But it ends up just being a sort of Parasyte-esque relationship
