WHYD YOU REBLOG MY PODT ARENT ALYOU SUPPISED TO BE SLEEPING TOU SAID YOU WEERE YHOING TO BED

Erm- oopsie 🥺

[ruthlesslistener]

Broke: Robin teaching Al-an how to love (implying that the Architects, an intensely social hivemind species, is incapable of how to 'properly' display affection and needs to be 'socialized' to match human requirements)

Bespoke: Al-an actually growing to love Robin very dearly but not showing it until she agrees to go with them because up until that point they were unsure if she genuinely liked them or merely tolerated them, while they grew to be very close to her in a manner they weren't entirely sure they could describe to her in any human language

One thing that kills me about Alyou is that for their relationship to develop you kind of have to address and utilize the isolation that goes unsaid in the game.

Like, we know Robin isn’t some social outcast. She enjoyed her work and was pretty outgoing. The only live interaction we get to see with another human is with Hal where he says she’ll be missed. She quite literally abandons everything to investigate Sam’s death on a harsh alien planet on the far reaches of the galaxy. She chooses to make herself an outcast. Anyone close to her that hears that is counting the days before she’s assumed dead and missing.

Al-an on the other hand is actively seeking his own people. The entire game is him looking for the other precursors, a goal we can only assume extends well beyond the game. Of which for Robin we can only assume two outcomes: they find the architects within her lifespan or they don’t.

If they do find the architects, how does their relationship fair? Does Robin get sent back to human civilization a hero to architects but a nobody to her own people? There’s no guarantee if she wrote about the precursors anyone would even believe her. Or, doing so makes her and the architects a target for Alterra. There’s no guarantee she’d ever be able to find a job she loved ever again, or, best case scenario her writings about the species make her famous. What then? Sure she might have money and fame, but she’ll no doubt never be able to talk to Al-an again with loads of questions still unanswered.

But what if Robin brings Al-an with her back to the human world? She doesn’t seem to have a lot of faith in humans not acting terrible, trying everything from putting him in a cage to keeping him as a trophy. He might get a kick out of being a science subject at first, but we know he’s not quick to make friends. Maybe he shares some advancements with the humans? If he trusts them that is.

The same goes in reverse in what if Robin stays for some time with architect society? They’d no doubt want to learn everything they could about humans resources willing. However it took Al-an a whole game to understand the nuances of human socialization before they even let him near one. I can’t imagine Robin being comfortable in a whole society full of very tall, very advanced, and very nosey aliens. Best case scenario Al-an shares his etiquette and respect with the other architects or they mostly ignore her. Even with this outcome Robin is still in a world not built for her in mind. She can still make friends with the architects, but they’d no doubt feel clinically asocial.

Then of course the third option, both are fully isolated. They neither find the architects and Robin chooses not to return to human civilization. They both have eachother to keep company, but they’ll always be alone. Humans are designed to seek other humans, and architects no doubt feel the same being social creatures. Sure one another might be “good enough” but there will always be that unmistakable feeling of solitude. Alone together, till one of them dies.

Then what? Does the other move on, driven purely by their desire for scientific conquest on the far reaches of the stars? Adopt a pet and live their life alone like Maida?

The closest thing to a perfect ending is that both the architects are alive and Robin chooses to return to human civilization, but both species are able to build a good working relationship. Both Al-an and Robin are regarded as heroes on both sides and still have the ability to talk every once in awhile. It would be really neat to see precursors join the supporting cast for subnautica 2, being our access port for advanced tech. But then us Rob-an shippers have to face the idea that their relationship would probably end with just friendship or both would still be ostracized for being weirdos

In any solution though there has to be some compromise. A perfect ending isn’t necessarily possible.

This is why I think Alyou should officially be classified as tragic yuri send tweet

Lazy Prompts #5

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.

the Black community internationally needs to stop elevating mixed off-white lightskint voices over actually Black voices who speak on their Black experiences

#if alyou were raisedby your white family you do not and never will understand what it means to be Black #there is a safe space in the world you can run to there is a place you know you are safe unequivocally #Black people do not have that #and using your privilege to talk down to the people actively fighting for change bc theure going out and making themselves heard #from the comfort of your living room is the ultimate pisstake #you dont have to worry that your cracker mum is gonna be tazed in her own home on her own stairs #cause police wont break and enter on whites so you know youll never have to worry or even think about it happening #stop letting just any and everyone in #Black lives for Black people
