A conversation Robin and AL-AN have about the sea emperor leviathan within the old story.
I don’t particularly like the old story, but I do think this is something that should have been kept from it. It broadens the perspective on why they were so insistent on keeping the SEL. They didn’t just do it to be cruel; I think it was seen as an unfortunate and necessary measure. Keep one member of a species confined to study to potentially save many more. I think too often we apply human ethical standards to Architects who clearly have a different understanding and outlook.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
I fed my horse a glowstick and now it looks like this. Help.
I really would love to learn about the other species that made up parts of Architects vessels. As well as learning a bit more about the planets and ecosystems they came from and how the Architects ended up coming across them.
All your photo dumps and gifs of AL-AN has helped me so much gathering references to draw a character inspired by him, thank you for your service 🙏
I love to post AL-AN’s animations and such so I’m glad it’s appreciated. I started my blog because I got frustrated of AL-AN clips either being in low quality or having the HUD on, so I went in game and recorded a bunch myself!
References you say…
A bunch more under the cut. For all of your possible reference needs.
Various angles
Various colors
Walking animation
If you have anything specific things about AL-AN such as animations, lore, databank entires, or voice lines you want me to post, just ask. I’m pretty much always willing to do requests. As long as they pertain to AL-AN or Architects.
If anyone was curious about what AL-AN’s walking animation looked like from the back...
It definitely wasn’t meant to be seen from this angle. That’s for certain.

Sorry for not doing a daily post yesterday! My posts might not be as daily anymore since I’m focused on writing and making art for my upcoming Subnautica fic. (They’ll still be frequent though.)
Currently I’m writing things for my fic, my asks, and doing concept designs. So expect those soon. If I haven’t gotten to your ask yet, I apologize, do know I’m working on it. Everyone is also still free to request specific AL-AN/Architect posts.
AL-AN kiss for your troubles.
