Subnautica - Blog Posts
2:15 am and all I can think about is how bad I want more subnautica dead tired aus…
PLEASEEEEEE LIKE HOW COULD YOU GET ME HOOKED ON THIS??? AUUGGHHHHHH
I have NEVER played, watched, nor been spoiled a single thing about subnautica. The only stuff I know is that there’s water. Then, on one ordinary day, I come across a drawing. It’s Danny Phantom as a leviathan?? I think it’s a leviathan. It’s absolute fire. Bro cooked with gas. I’m intrigued.
I go looking further. They have a master post link at the top. I check it out. I binge it all.
“Wow” I think to myself. “Where can I get more of this?”.
I look high and low. I wait a couple days. Nothing. Silence. Horror dawns on me as I realize this has been abandoned.
(If I’m remembering right) Later I find another glimpse of subnautica. This was short and was mostly big leviathan Danny with Justus League there at the end. But still it’s gas. It’s flammable. My hair got torched into a bob.
This reignites the fires in my motivation to get kicking back on this subnautica adventure. I search again for more. I plead for dead tired. Wish for at least a glimpse of dp x dc. Nothing.
Me and my broken heart go to Ao3 because surely they will have some dead tired subnautica.
Boy oh boy.
They have 6 subnautica x dc x dp at first glance. None that sang to my heart though. Upon further investigation I found gold. A beautiful dead tired subnautica au ripe for the picking.
4 chapters of not exactly what I was looking for, but by god was it everything I needed. It was short, sweet, and left a 4,283 word hole in my heart.
I want more, I need more.
In this essay I will convince you to create-

He is trying to assert dominance and he won
OhNoHe'sHot.png among other little Robin and Al-An doodles. They're just so fun......
girl help I'm yearning
Subanutica means a lot to me...I am simulteaonosuly enchanted and terrified by the idea of being the only human amongst loads of big fishs
The song is by Sheppard and instantly gave me Subnautica vibes... Some parts of the video are wonky to me but overall I like how it came out!
he with. long hair
I dont have the patience to do a good drawing of it rn but. Ryley Robinson. with a mullet.
like he doesn't bother cutting his hair once he gets stuck on 4546B so it just grows out and he ends up with a mullet and the roots of the streaks he has dyed grow out and start to look weird and he starts wearing his hair up in like a manbun or just a high ponytail.
Edit: this is mostly to placate myself but i do actually have a shitty little doodle from today
gonna try drawing him FOR REAL with his hair up

thinking about the biological implications of someone (Ryley Robinson) getting stuck on an alien planet (4546B) with purely silicon-based lifeforms (headcanon).
like would he just starve??? Because if everything is composed of silicon there's no real use for carbon sugars and I dont think people can digest silicon last I checked
the main idea is that this could lead to some absolutely fucked-up prompts like Ryley slowly starving to death even though he feels full because his body is physically incapable of processing whatever fucked up molecules the plants/animals/other on 4546B use in place of carbon sugars. And he keeps misdiagnosing what's wrong with him as maybe it's part of the kharaa but then he gets to the floating island and gets potatoes and melons and lantern fruit and he either thinks he got over the kharaa or puts two and two together and realizes he was dying from starvation and/or malnutrition
i want a vr headset for one reason and one reason alone.
to play Subnautica in VR and hook myself up to a heartrate monitor
"im bored i should play subnautica. why did I stop playing anyways?" Why I stopped playing:
for the uninitiated thats an ampeel and i FUCKING HATE THEM!!!! THIS IS AN AMPEEL UNAPPRECIATION POST THEY FUCKING SUCK!!!!
like i get that I built on the edge of the bulb zone but CMON MAN!!!! like they NEVER got this close before the base was built and now the only thing I can hear is their annoying ass buzzing. They're even guarding my moon pool so i cant leave without getting ready to fucking book it and theres no "oh just lure them away and let them kill you" because im in HARDCORE MODE!!
FUCK AMPEELS ALL MY HOMIES HATE AMPEELS
just rewatched The Martian (2015) and that shit was as good as I remember it and since I need to tie everything into my hyperfixations I think Mark Watney and Ryley Robinson have the same/similar personality and Ryley definitely thinks "hey its kinda like that movie" at least once
3/23/25 Update: 1 1/2 pages into the book and yeah. Yeah they totally have the same personality. Unintentionally wrote Ryley like Mark Watney in my fic. It's great.
some subnautica doodles from the last month-ish (including the original sketch of that riley w/ stalker egg one :D)
i just realized there's gotta be some connection between me being obsessed with octonauts as a kid and now being obsessed with subnautica and my ideal career being doing fucked up cool mad scientist ocean stuff
i got a lil silly again and grgrgrhgrhfrghfrghfgrgrhfgghhhgrrrr ryley
are we just not supposed to question why the aurora had a shit ton of submersibles on it that dont seem to have any kind of other use outside of the water (such as like an actual spaceship) and then conveniently crashed on an entirely ocean planet
Edit: I now know that skimming the non-audio logs is not sufficient for lore purposes
based on a doodle i did in class. might come back and add a background but wabam. ryley robinson
so i was originally gonna make a post about how i was reading the pda entry for the eyeye and how it says that the Alpha Peeper may have been the first thing on 4546B to evolve eyes and how "oh eyes are really complex structures so theres no way they evolved more than once. i mean warm-bloodedness only evolved like twice in mammals and birds so the Alpha Peeper could be the LUCA of 4546B" but then I google it to make sure.
gang. the LOWEST estimate I found was that eyes evolved 8 times independently of eachother. the HIGHEST was something like 1600?????? so thats what this post is about now theres so many different times eyes evolved holy shit
im so fucking GRRRYYYFFYYFFFUFUUFUFUUFUFUFFRRGFRRGRGRGGHHHH I NEED SUBNAUTICA 2 TO OPEN EARLY ACCESS IM GONNA LOSE IT IT JUST SAYS 2025 BUT I NEED IT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
I need to roam and explore and scan fish and the only way to really continue the series is to focus on the Precursors instead of Alterra bc fuck Alterra am I right gang and like I would fuck SO HARD with finding more shit out about Architects and their culture and maybe hold on this is coming to me as I type what if the new planet is in the same system as 4546B and all the planets in that system are water planets or some shit? What if. and hear me out. if its not this game and they make more. what if we're on the Architect homeworld???? actually going feral rn at all the possibilities. gonna have to be locked in a padded room until early access if i keep thinking about it
hey gang is it is it cringe to link fanfics here
i think this is the first art art ive posted on tumblr
i fucking love bz
i just got the data entry for Hope and oh my god?????? i love Alan he's so so so so silly silly oh my god Maybe its the dynamic of one character is disgustingly human with their emotions and to the other human emotions and stuff like that are a foreign concept that just tickles me the right way i dunno but theyre just my favorite
the way that robin goes from kind of hating Alan for getting in her head to slowly as you discover more and more artifacts to thanking him for telling her about them and encouraging him that he can find the rest of his network is beautiful.
also the fact that he thinks hope must be a bird because of the way the Emily Dickinson poem describes it means he must have never known hope before. Robin literally taught him what hope is. She gave him hope for the first time in god knows how long and even in his analytical literal-mindedness he understands that hope is something he needs to take care of and keep safe
its just a beautiful dynamic because again Robin is driven by human emotion shes on 4546B to find out what happened to Sam, she does this reckless thing based solely on her feelings, and Alan is the exact opposite. He only knows logic and rules and emotion gets in the way
AND AND AND the parallels between Robin losing Sam and Alan losing his connection to his network is beautiful because that means they have something in common, a link that they can work through to explain to one another
its just beautiful writing and im probably reading into it way too much but thats my fucking job
the subnautica brainrot is getting me
nothing beats playing slime rancher and using the jetpack but I hit something and the POV tilts and suddenly im back in the trenches because a ghost just rammed the cyclops
I just want to say thank you to all the people who love this funky alien boy! Ya’ll have really boosted my follow count^^!
