Horizon: Zero Dawn (278/ꝏ) | REMASTERED Aloy and Nil at the Prismatic Springs

BONUS—

Yeah, I know wrong, I know right, but I just love to pick a fight I can sleep with one eye open, if there's any sleep at night I got my knife, got my gun... ... Let's see how fast you can run.

nil and zoroark (yes, it's zoroark in both - look closely ;))

second in my horizon x pokemon series!

previous illustrations in this series:

After seeing the Astrobot Gaia Gang that @han-ban-bam and @quiche-draws and @astralpaint drew I had to make my own!

Nil the Grey Eyed Gremlin, and Aloy judging him which is ironic

Like, got all the super badass confident competent hot women, obviously (Talanah, Petra, VANASHA). And almost every dude is falling over himself about Aloy, and it's hilarious, but most of them don't do it for me personally (Erend I love you but in a giant golden retriever puppy bff way. Avad just makes me sad. Go to therapy my dude pls.) Except for one.

THE FUCKING UNHINGED MURDERHOBO.

My guy. My dude. Why are you like this. I wanna study him under a microscope. Bite and thrash him like a chew toy. Shake him like a snowglobe.

I mean. I can't say I'm surprised this happened. I do have something of a history with freaky overdramatic bloodthirsty nutjobs (see: Astarion, FE Fates Niles [also super poetic about it with that smooth toned low voice], Demon Lord Ghirahim [tbh that cunty bastard was the start of it all. still best Zelda boss ever, absolute legend], and even Zevran counts to a certain extent). Also the silver-grey eyes got me from the drop (there is something so unsettlingly beautiful about silver eyes, I give them to a LOT of my OCs. Especially the freaky ones).

I diligently scoured the outskirts of every single fucking bandit camp just so I didn't miss him (and was very disappointed when he wasn't actually there for some) and giggled like some hysterical banshee at every unhinged overly poetic murderous thing that came out of his mouth (and Aloy's responses, my lord the change from 'totally baffled and concerned and grossed out' to 'resigned fond exasperation').
