August 1 - Xenomorph
I chose liberty
Stretched and snapped my bone restraints
Free now from papa
So proud 🥹 🖤
Humans love babies!
So why all the sad faces?
Oh right, the chest thing... 😎
Yeah, being ripped open by a parasite could be upsetting😜
It's definitely put a dampener on things, for sure. Haha... 😎
Hmm, seems I'm developing a theme here with these last few ones. Part of my Queasy Collection, I guess.
I stared into the…
…abyss, which was my trashcan
Got dry heaves again!
Light reading for the commode?
Envelope with DNA
Glue to cell walls
Tongue tied amoebic leach.
Lie, die, fie.
Ooo well done! Really vivid language🖤
Nothing in that long skull but
hunger, hunger and hunger -
Is there any more within you?
Eggs…
Speaking of eggs...

Death’s grip in your chest
Masked in warmth, deceit, and bone
Prey becomes the trap.
.
In ribcage shadows
Death’s cunning lie lies hidden
Hunter falls to prey.
My pulse, false comfort
Death’s embrace, a silent ruse
Xenomorph undone.
So good! I love how you’ve woven traps and lies throughout, it’s such a pivotal part of the relationship🖤
Really? It is safe?
Kinda cool, but it's moving.
Ah, fuck, you bastard.
Love it! This is definitely how I’ll die, touching the thing that shouldn’t be touched🖤
live and learn...hopefully without a new species ripping your sternum
I mean someone has to learn the hard way for everyone else…
Oozing acid rage
Mouth like Russian nesting doll
Springs forth its surprise
Love that image!! The doll reference makes it so jarring🖤
LV-223
The Engineers’ breeding ground
Where birth begets death
So awesome, that last line sent me on an existential tangent I might not recover from. Love it so much🖤
Its not a tumor!
I swear I think it just moved.
I don't feel so well.
This is a great mini timeline, I love the complete 180 from the first line to the last🖤
True intimacy
Is not so pleasing, you'll find
Devoured inside out
Love this take🖤 I’m so tempted…
Just saw this again on my feed and started looking up Alien stuff and it seems like I was kinda right!
"[story creator] O'Bannon felt that the symbolism of 'homosexual oral rape' was an effective means of discomforting male viewers."
I’ve been looking stuff up, too! Had no idea he wanted men to feel uncomfortable at being “pregnant”, too. Kind of awesome really.
Dripping mandible
Tongue with teeth licks sweat and flesh
Ellen leaves unharmed
She’s a badass🤷♀️ Love the imagery, that middle line is 😬🖤
Her eggs hatch, warm, safe
In their cocoons. Their first cries
Muffled by their hosts’.
“Did you say something?” Love the intermingling of innocent baby images with the word “host.” So disturbing🖤
😙🤏
😌
Nice! Very visceral! I love that the first thing it hears is its hosts scream🖤
Oh man, that’s beautiful in the most excruciating way🖤
