meeting a slugpup as hunter is such a quiet and heartbreaking little tragedy.. you are sick and running out of time, fighting against an already harsh world , and now you have a scared and lost child tugging at your tail, who needs you . there's no way to stay with them for very long , nowhere truly safe to bring them . no one else but you and them . if you want to ascend , you will have to say goodbye . if you want to spend your last cycles protecting them , your body will fail , and something monsterous will replace you . maybe your efforts will be enough to ensure they survive beyond you . maybe they are doomed without you . what can you do but look down at the child trailing behind you and say I Love You. I'm Sorry it was me.

the cool thing to me abt artificer is that like. objectively she has had her explosive abilities probably her whole life, definitely before she lost her pups. but on a more metaphorical level, that gimmick and visual being associated with her specifically is like. the idea that she is such an angry bitter thing that those emotions manifest physically as violent combustion

he called me fat and told me to leave and told me to tell my family to never come here again :(
