Imagine for a moment that you have spent the last few days in Hell. It certainly wasn't nice- it was, again, literal Hell- but you're also strong as hell. So you fought your way out, and you taught those hellspawn jerks a lesson or two along the way. You even found the demon who was leading the invasion and shot it full of holes, just for good measure. It might'a been smart enough to think up Earth invasion plans, but that big brain of its still couldn't stop a hundred bullets or so, courtesy of your own trigger finger.
Now you've made it back to Earth, and you're feeling mighty badass, having curb stomped the whole of Hell itself. And it's the good old, demon-free blue skies and green fields of Earth as far as the eye can see... until you turn around. The city is burning on the horizon, but right here in front of you, where you were sure to see it, where they knew you would see it, on a fence post sharpened into a stake, is the decapitated head of your beloved pet rabbit.
And there is a bit of Doom lore for you, as well as what exactly I think might make Doomguy make that face :)
#doom#lines i did#ask game#once again featuring a younger classic doom doomguy#but i think a lot about how daisys head was RIGHT THERE. right where hed see it when he got back to earth#it wasnt coincidence. they knew where hed be coming through the portal back to earth. and they left her head there for him to find#it was an intentional message. it was an intentional attack.#i know most of classic dooms writing was added more as an afterthought but#i really do like the style of it#like doom i has a sort of cocky; cheeky tone to it. like yeah hes in hell and hes mad but hes grinning and taunting and jeering through it#then you get to doom ii and. it sort of lost a bit of that cheekiness. hes pissed now. its not just about fighting demons now; its personal#and then thered doom 64.#he willingly went back into hell in doom ii#(after learning the demons main portal was (also likely intentionally) built right in the middle of his hometown)#and he fought the biggest demon there and really truly ended the invasion#and now according to the doom 64 manual hes canonically having constant and incurable nightmares#and i like to think hes. maybe not so mentally stable at this point#so when the UAC comes back to him and says 'hey there are still some demons left on phobos and youre the only one who can stop them'#i think he was all too willing; all too *eager* to go back and keep fighting#and 64s writing is a lot more. bitter? angry? spiteful?#hes grinning again but its so so much darker now. he is living on the taste of vengeance alone#when he decides to stay in hell at the end of 64; it is not a decision that took him much time to make at all.#in fact i think he had already decided before he even got back up to phobos#he wanted to go back and he wanted to stay there.#and he did! for a long time! and went completely nuts! then he ended up in argent dnur and thats the prequel story to modern doom#anyway its already 2:20 am and i have work tomorrow so i guess i am only doing one of these tonight. will try to do the other two tomorrow.
