This took me like... maybe 31 hours total, plus I did half of this, dropped it for two months, and then came back.
The head of 1x1x1x1 is the core that ripped itself free from Telamon's chest.
The nervous system that spreads throughout the Core of Hatred is non-functional except for the first skeleton. However, "damaging" this beast in some form only excites it.
The tips of the spawn pointed tail are stained pink due to Telamon's ties with the spawn point- one held over his collar. 1x1x1x1 intentionally utilizes a broken spawn point as a nod towards The Tale of Aeacus - The first bloxxer and original spawn point for R-0130.
1x1x1x1 inflicts the most potent form of Coreblight; A disease characterized by muscular degeneration and green eyes, along with chronic health issues associated with tissue degradation of the core. [Example: Scripter, the worst known case of Coreblight]
In addition: staring at 1x1x1x1 for any prolongued period of time induces Madness, Mind Burn, and- if persisted- Eventual death via exsanguinating hemorrhage.
Some close ups!

bi. thought he was gay for a bit but realised that wasnt the label for him.
red shoe theory!!! everything else is uncomfortable and they cant afford the other colour ones
(toshinori gives him ones in other colours/styles and he cries. but keeps wearing his red hi-tops cause he likes them. theyre part of his image now)
could pull any man he wants but wants the childhood bsf who pretends to hate him
he and rody at least kissed in that volkswagon
started hearing the vestiges in the waking world in the middle of one of their debates about what current living hero mightve been able to beat doq-era afo
first words he ever heard was from kudou '-well hercules proved fire beats regeneration-' and him immediately getting corrected by his nerd girlboyfriend that he was HERACLES and kudou subsequently calmly explaining he thought hercules was more accurate cause hera fucken hated that boy and he was not the glory of hera
izuku starts recording these conversations in the margins of his notebooks (including school ones) with a multicolour all might pen and shouta is so confused
can draw decently well (we have proof of this, it is just a fact at this point)
constantly claims hes just pointing out the obvious when it comes to his analysis
AUTISTIC????? who knows. certainly not him. or me. i can never make up my mind lol
taught himself crafts to make himself his own merch. therefore can sew.
tried to be a youtuber but abandoned it after katsuki and that found the channel and bombed it with hate. never deleted it tho cause he had like three people watching his badly edited videos who really liked his analysis
dad for one
uncle for all
yoichi loves his nephew :3
inko is best mum btw izuku loves his mum (except for when he caught her kissing toshinori but he was a bit angrier at all might for it than her)
just jotted down ideas. Lowkey fuck with the alt design for Shmilk's third eye and how I'd take that crow's foot scar. Since Im planning for it to be PV + WL + SM polycule, the third eye's blueberry ahh three point lashes fit well to still logically keep
this weird thing of a third eye(when in any beastly form) that looks like Pv's icon, while ALSO being able to relate to Lily's souljam shape which I kinda headcannon looks like a sideways lilium longiflorum, which is a type of white lily

Currently single, he is focused on his family and career. Dating can wait. "I want to do things as good as I can; I want to have as much fun and make it as meaningful as I can. And then whatever happens with that, that's just what happens," Duchovny says. "I'm just happy being where I am."

Craig Ferguson: I didn't take [The Reservoir] as a pandemic story. I took it as a, as an existentialist crisis. And maybe, uh, and maybe a mediation on mortality and reflection.... I feel like it is, uh, it is an artist as the shadows begin to get a little longer in their life. Is that fair, you think?
DD: Absolutely. Um, I, I hate to admit it but yes, that is fair. You know, one starts to dwell on what's the most-- what's important.... And what happens is [unifying global tragedies], uh, these events bring us together, yes, but they also kind of engender this kind of epiphany, like... "All that other stuff is, is meaningless! What counts is my family, my love, my, my friends, my human connection!"

DD: So, I've had those... and actually, um, my girlfriend made me a mug with one of the quotes from the journal, which we laugh about. Because at 10 years old, it's already so me: because it says, uh, "Today was frustrating and tomorrow's not looking much better."

Duchovny has two grown-up children from his former marriage to the actress Téa Leoni. He lives in California, with his girlfriend, Monique Pendleberry, and his two dogs, Brick and Rookie....
DD: If I’m filming I still like an early start, but I shot my recent film What Happens Later, with Meg Ryan, all through the night because we filmed in a regional airport after it closed at 9pm. That’s a bit of a nightmare for me as a morning person, but we developed a great camaraderie from working while the world was asleep. My daughter, West, thought it was great to see a romantic comedy film with people my age, but I don’t think of myself as any age, so I hadn’t thought about that. Love can happen at any age, right?

Pete Holmes: I get angry that something-- podcasting-- that essentially was, like, ham radio-- it really was like dorky, and kind of underground; and, like, this is where we'll have conversations that aren't slick. Now the bigger the guest I have-- which is why I asked it of you, because you're very famous. I was, like, "Is David Duchovny gonna play ball?" Because if I have, like, somebody's-- like, "Who's your dream guest?" for the show-- You could say Matt Damon; but, I'd worry that Matt Damon hasn't been through the PR machine and he's just going to know... and where to pull back. But you know, like: where's your line? [Laughs.]
DD: You know, it just depends. Because, like I said, I've got kids, I've got an ex, I've got people in my life now, I've got a girlfriend. Um, you know. Again, I do the calculus like: "I would love to be honest; and I'd love to, to help-- like if what I could say could help, or be funny, or whatever. But I also don't want it to rebound on me. I have not had good experiences in the public sphere with being understood. I've been misunderstood a lot. And there's no way I can make myself understood-- it just has to happen naturally....
Pete Holmes: [Talking about his struggles with parental relationships] I try to remember that at her core my mother is the exact same thing that I am-- she's just consciousness. I do that. But that's intellectual; and, and I need to bring it into my body. And my wife is so good at that, Val is so good at that. It's like, she's like tou-- she was having me do this [rubs his arms] at coffee.
DD: That's brilliant.
Pete Holmes: She was like, "Touch your arms!"
DD: She's grounding you, yeah.
Pete Holmes: Right. She goes, "Touch your arms. Your extremities are getting no love."
DD: "You're here now, you're here now."
Pete Holmes: Exactly! This resonates with you?
DD: Yeah, yeah. My girlfriend does similar things like that. She was raised like that. Her, her father would [points at the air in a pattern] touch her like that.
Pete Holmes: Oh, to get her in her body?
DD: Yeah, yeah. And I'd never really-- I'd never seen that, or heard of it.
Pete Holmes: Is that EFT? Is that what she was doing? [DD: I don't know. I don't know.] Like this? [Pointing gestures across his chest.] Is it these points [touches face] one, two, three four five?
DD: [Smiling, studying his gesture, stroking chin] I don't know.

Samantha Bee: Y'know what? She's right to make fun of you.

KB: Yeah, there’s this-- I learned this thing. I don’t know if it’s the infinite pause or the victor. Franco has this phrase, like, between a reaction and an incident reaction, there lies a pause; and then that pause is like a world of everything.... Could-- in relationship, in life, just in general, like, [I] take a little bit more of that moment before I react. It’s hard.
DD: Well, I can’t say I totally relate to this idea of a moment of being less reactive, or of even kind of thinking through or feeling through a reaction rather than just reacting. And it’s something that I go through with Monique, my... my girlfriend now. Because she’s way better at taking that moment than I am. If we’re having an argument, I want to get to the end of it; and, you know, not be in the argument, you know? And she’s actually there, going, "Well, wait a minute. I really want to think about this. You know, I don’t want to finish this until I know what I’m feeling." And I’m like, "That’s so stupid!" No, but that’s brilliant. You know, that’s really how someone should live.

His wedding ring is not the only new accessory he's sporting today: he also has a moustache, grown for a forthcoming film role as novelist Kurt Vonnegut. After that, he will shoot another movie, in Pittsburgh, while also promoting his first volume of poetry, About Time.

Which is the funniest-- that's just such a joke, because there's no other love poet out there. So, I'm one of one. But just to have it, I screenshot it. I just think it's a nice handle.

DD: My own experience of meditation-- which is also a quote about meditation-- is, "It's one insult after another...."
DD: And I had this perception... I don't want to say anything positive about drug use, but I O.D.ed myself on marijuana gummies by mistake, about two years ago. And I had a psychotic kind of a-- I, I bought the wrong ones. I wanted to go to sleep, instead I got some crazy... crazy, strange thing. And my experience-- what happened was, I started to hear some really dark, negative self-talk; and my perception was, like, this screen had come down in my mind, and I was listening to the voice in my head, unfiltered. Usually I can filter it; but now I had it, and it was killing me. It was, it was, it was dark. And luckily my wife was on the phone. We talked for, like, twelve hours. I was f-ed up.
DD: But I guess I'm thankful for the, uh, the realization that this is a constant voice in my head, it's just the screen came down for a moment because of the drugs. And now I'm like, "Okay, that's what I'm dealing with all the time." And that's kind of a glimpse of what you get when you meditate. Because when you quiet yourself, all of a sudden the background noise comes in; and the background noise is often the dark parts, the instinctual parts. The, the younger parts.

Male Interviewer: I feel like, as I become older, relationships become very important to me. And I feel like you're very comfortable in your own skin; and it seems like the same thing, relationships.

Yeah, it's, it's a constant mystery, though, isn't it? To be comfortable in your own skin? I appreciate that as a compliment; but still--
Female Interviewer: If the skin would stop changing, it would be a lot easier to stay comfortable in it, y'know? You feel like you accept it; and then two years later, you're dealing with a whole new body.
DD: Preach!
Male Interviewer: You're beatin' yourself up, especially as an artist.

A young woman stood up and said that she noticed at the beginning that he had thanked his mother and a few teachers, and she was wondering what effect they had on him to write such a book or to be a writer. And he actually got really emotional after that question. "I want to thank you for recognizing that and I’m sorry for getting a little emotional, but those people have had a deep effect on my life. I also thanked my wife because these are people who have truly inspired me and meant so much to me even as a writer." (paraphrased)

Interviewers: [Laughing.]
Second Interviewer: You're like Liam Gallagher, who does that--
DD: Liam is amazing; because.... Y'know, when I first started performing live, I just thought, "Well, I'm like the emcee. I want people to have a good time," y'know. And I'm dancing around, making a fool of myself. It was actually my wife [that] said to me, "Y'know, you don't have to move around so much."
Interviewers: [Chuckling, sympathetic "Oh no"s.]
DD: And then I saw Liam; and Liam is just still. He's just still-- he's even got his hands behind his back, for the most part. And it's really, really powerful to be still.

Duplass: And, um, that's what I gifted him for his wedding.

And it's a beautiful old courthouse, and.... But they don't shut anything down for anybody to get married. So, we basically got married in a corner while business as usual was going on all over--
Kelly: Drivers' licenses--

BONUS
[David Duchovny relating a moment of truth before his
mother's passing.]
August 19, 2025:
DD: My mother died three years ago, almost three years ago now. And she suffered from dementia for six, seven, eight years before that; and we had to have a lot of caretakers for her. And one of them ended up stealing from us. So, there was missing money; and now there was getting the police involved....
DD: I had to somehow tell my mother, who had pretty severe dementia at this point, that the police were going to be looking at her bank account. And I had to make clear to her that there was nothing that they-- y'know, she was not in trouble. And if she was healthy, my mother would have been really upset if there was any kind of activity in her bank account; but she didn't seem to care. She just, she thought, "Oh, okay, so the police will get here."
DD: So, we're waiting for the cops to come and interview her. And... I'm afraid to tell you this story.
DD: And, and, uh. She goes, "You're not going to get married, are you?" And I was like, "Um...." She, for the past four or five years, she was like, 'You're not going to get married, are you?' And I would always say, "No, no, I don't have any plans to get married. I'm, I'm divorced...." And I was like... we had this time together, now in this apartment; and it's quiet. And I'm like, "What-- this is a weird question to be asking me," y'know?
DD: And so I said, "No, I don't have any plans to get married. But what would be so bad if I did get married? And why don't you
want-- don't you want me to have companionship, or a relationship?" And she said, "No!" And I said, "Why not?" And she said, "Cuz then you couldn't marry me."
Terry Real: Aw.
DD: And, I believe, even if she didn't know what she was saying-- anyway, she was giving me some kind of a truth. And I just remember, like, time stopped. And I saw the dust motes kind of suspended in air, in sunlight. Small apartment. And I thought, "Oh. You just kind of liberated me. You just kind of... gave me the truth; and now I can just let it go...."
DD: I've always felt that that was the truth. Y'know? And now I'm hearing it from the source, y'know? Even though she's not in her right mind, et cetera, and all [those] things. And she's not a bad person, and she's not an incestuous person, and she's not these things that you could make up from somebody saying something like that. She merely needed me like that. And that was a problem, for me. Y'know, that became a problem for me. So, that's why I say it was liberating, in that way.

Any Raichi lovers in the house? I am saying hello to my birth twin and here are the things I noticed about him:
I realised this guy is 1) envious of Yukimiya, 2) is ranked 3rd romantically aggressive AFTER Otoya and 3) ranked number 1 with the shortest temper (before Shidou and Rin).
Not to mention tho, Raichi pointed out that despite Yukimiya being the number one gentleman, his smile doesn’t reach his eyes.
Also, this guy mentioned something to do with “sexy soccer”, whatever that means for him. Icl Raichi is so underrated man. If he werent so short tempered, he’d prolly vibe with Sendou and Otoya. Oh!! Wait, his potential first interaction with Yukimiya is during the 3rd selection, when he was teamed up with Karasu and Otoya. This brother would start a brawl with Shidou and Rin icl. Im actually not sure what he’s like with Yukimiya, given they’re teammates and stuff. He probably just respects him in a way? Again, a potential here with Yukimiya and Raichi, and Raichi and Hiori (oh this is a stake on the ground.) I just never really paid much attention to Raichi until like now. Gimme three to five business days to expand on this lol.
Kinda forgot how he isnt roomies with Isagi, Kurona, Yukimiya and Hiori. He’s probably roomies with Kunigami, Kiyora and Gagamaru. So there is a possibility of that too.
Oh i was gonna say he is daddy shark while kurona is baby shark HAHAHAHAHAHA
I can also somehow tolerate his loudness (bruh his VA is literally Inosuke from Demonslayer).
