Eat The Gods

[feral-lore-creature]

I'm admittedly one of those fans that refuses to believe David 8 created the Xenomorph. Reverse engineered? Sure! I can believe that. The Praetomorph and Deacon classifications exist for a reason. People keep fucking with the thing.

I like to think the Engineers ran into the XX121 naturally, fucked around with their genetic material, and found out the hard way. David played god because he wanted to.

Also, the idea of nature on any celestial body being so inherently volatile to the point of creating the XX121 naturally is a fuck-ton more terrifying than any "false-god hubris" philosophical concept.

I guess maybe I'm a little more into the Sci-Fi side of things than the gore LMAO.

An Engineer from "Prometheus". The first image is upon his initial arrival. The second image is after his final evolution.

These are gonna make me insane actually throughout the whole movie david is fascinated by engineer technology and culture so i imagine when he finally meets and speaks to one he's smiling like *this* out of a sense of childlike wonder and excitement, maybe pride to be the first one to communicate to an engineer, but also there's this sense of almost.... Seeking approval... parental almost.... i wonder if that's what's going on here... *throws ball at wall* Idk we already know this guy has daddy issues up the wazoo and by daddy issues i mean not just weyland but humanity and A Creator as a whole.

Regardless this reaction is DEFINITELY in stark contrast to his later actions of just. Destroying them all. Maybe this is the moment he hated them but before hate there had to be something else

OKAY SO

For the last week-and-change I’ve been utterly losing my mind over Forbidden Gifts by Ardath-Rekha over on ao3

It’s so good, y’all. I’m so in love.

I need thoughts on this.

I've seen varying perspectives on lifespans of the Engineers.

I've seen the theory of them being hundreds of thousands years old, and I've seen ideas of them being 150 years old.

What are your thoughts? Or have you seen a more plausible theory?

Any and all help would be appreciated!

💙 Prometheus Fics I Adore 💙

Just here to share some Prometheus (Alien) fics I love to re-read. 😌

Forbidden Gifts by Ardath_Rekha On Ao3 (Has not been finished) - This fic actually has the Last Engineer x Elizabeth Shaw ship! It's such an extreme rare-pair, and it's very well done! I love this ship with my whole heart, istg. - The bridging done between the prequels & the main film is interesting, and the whole story takes you on such a journey. The only thing I remember of reading this the first time was that it was a perfect vibe for mid-winter. - I won't spoil anything, but it does something really interesting with David's character, so for any David sympathizers (*cough cough* @elecctromechanika ) this one's pretty fun! - Is super internal-dialogue centered, and I love it for that! - Just as a note: there is a sex scene in here, but the author warns you thoroughly, and you can skip it if you please.

Those Whom Fortune Favors + Intrepid by JShale on Ao3 (Intrepid isn't finished, but the first one is!) - Those Whom Fortune Favors doesn't need much artistic liberty when going in, as it keeps the same isolated feeling & story as the movie. - Elizabeth's characterization is so fucking on-point. It's always the little things that make each character so distinct from one another, and makes them layered. - Intrepid is basically TWFF, but from the Last Engineer's P.O.V. & adds really interesting perspective I think I needed to recognize how severely a language barrier can warp your perception of a character.

Alone by @wingedmidnight on Ao3 (My apologies if you don't want to be tagged! I'll get rid of whatever upon request. :3) - This fic is OC & David centered, but I love it a lot because of that. It's a very interesting take, seeing the world through a different human's eyes while exploring the weird world of Alien. - David also doesn't turn out to be a creepy little murder machine! No war crimes here. Love that for him. - If you don't like shipping, romance, or sexual tension (the latter of which happens in the both of the above listed, seemingly only on Shaw's side in TWFF-) this one's better suited! - The world building is so creative! Not just in environment, but in the personalities and culture of the Engineers. - Not finished, but I don't mind. I love re-reading it either way.

Curiosity is a Virtue by MewMidnight fanfiction.net (Is also not finished) - There's definitely Elizabeth x Engineer stuff in here, but I'm a little less focused on that. There's also like... one chapter of smut, but it can be easily avoided, if that's not to your taste. - Shaw is as curious as she always is here, constantly seeking answers. - I enjoy the little chunks of world-building in here, but it's mostly funny to watch the other Engineers gawk over Shaw and David the whole time. - CiaV is a far lighter read by comparison, for multiple reasons. It's just such a nice ride.

Figured I'd make this list to give a bit of love (and life) back into this niche corner of the Alien fandom! I hope you give at least one of these a try, and happy reading! 💙

Listen I’m almost done watching all the Alien movies and hear me out

The engineer from Prometheus (the aliens prequel from 2012)

Pls hear me out

Looking back at it all now, I genuinely believe that the Deacon is the natural form of the xenomorph - prior to any genetic manipulation that took place. The Engineers just held the animal in high regard.

In an act of creation, David would attempt to recreate this beast, birthing the perfected Alien we all know.
