The nature of dying

Exactly.

Ok I feel confident enough to finally introduce something I've been working on for a while now: an Ultrakill Battle of the Bands AU!!

The basic synopsis is that V1, rather than fueled by blood, is instead fueled by music! Following the sounds of music they're led to a mysterious elevator that takes them to Hell. After riling up the Limbo layer with their electrifying guitar playing, Heaven, specifically Gabriel, considered to be the best guitarist out of all of Heaven and Hell, take notice and force V1 to compete in Hell's Battle of the Bands competition; many bands that come from each layer of Hell partake in intense, musical battle in order for one to receive salvation from Heaven!

I'm very excited to introduce more stuff about this AU! I'll post more concepts of bands, characters, and lore soon :D

In the meantime, here are some current lore stuff I have come up with so far below (+ Altar of Apostasy drawing w/out text below):

• Gabriel is apart of a band formed by the Council; being the most prominent member known for his unbeatable guitar skills, Gabriel grabs the hearts and attention of every husk and angel -- much to the dismay of the other council band members, who often get left out of the fanfare

• There has been no winners for the Battle of Bands (there have almost been winners, but they were struck down by the Council) due to the Council constantly winning these competitions

• V2 plays the bass guitar -- she learned how to play it from Mirage, who at one point performed music with V2 (she gave up playing, however, because she found it pointless to compete in a competition that was rigged from the start, and decided to pursue college instead)

• V2 became a crowd controller/concert security for when battles get intense (husks and machines can get very rowdy, especially when their favorite bands end up losing) at some point, having lost their passion in playing music. However, when V1 pops up and V2 versed them once (this results in their bass guitar getting destroyed), V2 becomes so determined to up-one V1 -- she even goes around Hell trying to find parts to repair her bass guitar with. After losing another music battle to V1, V2 decides to team up with V1 and re-enter the Battle of Bands again (her passion for music having been rekindled)

• V1 makes a big name for themselves ever since they shook up the entirety of Hell from the Limbo layer in their first (unofficial) battle against the Swordmachine's band (made up of a regular Swordmachine, Tundra, and Agony); now every husk tries to battle V1 (while other husks have become hardcore fans of V1)

I haven't even opened Ultrakill for what feels like a life but was probably just half a year.

But the Violence layers still isn't letting me go.

It's so sad. And it's so unique. It's the most unique layer in the whole game. Because the whole thing is about a single character. I mean sure, layers have been about characters, but most of them at least share.

Violence is just about one character, a character that's been there the whole time, from second one, but was always sidelined for something or someone else time and time again for 2 whole acts. V1.

Sure Gabriel fights V1, desires to fight V1, but it's more about how Gabriel himself feels about it. With his monologes it always felt to me like their "rivalry" is entirely one sided, that for V1 Gabe is just one more bloodbath in its way. At most he's amusing.

And fittingly the whole 7th layer feels entirely disconnected from the rest of the game, but especially from Gluttony and Heresy, from moment one. With its blast of white and surreal levels connected by ideas instead of geography. More then any layer so far in the game Violence feels like a mind palace, a dream scape. Alien and weird yet deeply personal. It reminds me of the Hunter's dream from Bloodborne.

The layer is about the romance and beauty of murder, the tragedy of weapons, and the self-destructiveness of it all.

Man, it's the fucking. That final stretch of War Without Reason. It makes me want to cry. The way the signature V1 guitar screeches so desperately, taking the highest notes it ever does, the instrument sounds like it's tearing its voice cords into teathers screaming, begging, trying to hold onto the moment, to not let go, to not let the composition conclude the way it inevitably will.

What is love but painting your world with the other's finite life? A desire to spill someone's lifeblood onto the walls of your house, take trinkets, momentos, limbs of your beloved's life which you graft onto your own, decorate yourself in viscera. War is the one thing machines can, the only thing. They feel for each other, they love each other, they seek to break down the metallic barriers of their skin and into the soft flesh beneath, and take their blood for their own. To love is to kill, and weapons only know killing. But when you kill someone they die. It doesn't last, it cannot last. No matter how hard you try, how deep you go its finite, it will be over. It will be over soon.

The Earthmover was V1's one true love, I will die on this hill. It's the only thing V1 went out of its way to kill. Way out of its way. It saw how it shoots its railcanon and was Helpleeeeees, down for the count and drowning in them. Even if we somehow ignore all the yonic visuals of the level design in 7-4. I mean, we're the Ultrakill fandom. We of all people should understand that trying to kill each other is sex.

"you can't ship those characters they tried to kill each other!" sounds like someone can't appreciate the inherent eroticism of violence 🙄
