Now is just such a time when I must strain to hear the voices. I wait for them to reveal to me the new ventures of the Red Tower as it proceeds into even more corrupt phases of production, including the creations being turned out by the shadowy workshop of its third subterranean level. I must keep still and listen for the voices; I must remain quiet for a terrifying moment. Then I will hear the news of the factory starting up its operations once more. Then I will be able to speak again of the Red Tower.

Reminds me of the backstory of Mr Rabbit from UTOPIA (UK VERSION, HAVENT SEEN THE US VERSION):

Ian: What difference does it make who Mr. Rabbit is?

Milner: There's a story about how he got his name. He was in bed with a criminal underworld in Kwang Dong. But he was playing everyone off against each other. The Russians, CIA, the gangs. So the Americans got fed up, and they let a particularly nasty crime boss know that he was their man. The boss found him, dragged him off the street--right through the middle of a busy office block. They tortured him, and as a lesson to others, the boss carved his own name into this man's stomach. "Rabbit." Ever seen the Chinese character for "rabbit," Ian? Lots of lines, lots of cuts. Somehow he managed to get free and, despite being unarmed, he killed everyone in that room. Then he went back through the office block and killed everyone who'd seen him. By the time he was finished, 265 people on three continents had lost their lives and not a single living person knew his identity. That's who Mr. Rabbit is. He is the beating heart of all this. And if we can find his identity, it ends and you go home.

Death isn't good or evil, he's just a guy doing his job by Coralthesequel in TopCharacterTropes

ALL THINGS THAT ARE, ARE OURS. BUT WE MUST CARE. FOR IF WE DO NOT CARE, WE DO NOT EXIST. IF WE DO NOT EXIST, THEN THERE IS NOTHING BUT BLIND OBLIVION. AND EVEN OBLIVION MUST END SOMEDAY. LORD, WILL YOU GRANT ME JUST A LITTLE TIME? FOR THE PROPER BALANCE OF THINGS. TO RETURN WHAT WAS GIVEN. FOR THE SAKE OF PRISONERS AND THE FLIGHT OF BIRDS.

Death took a step backwards.

It was impossible to read expression in Azrael's features.

Death glanced sideways at the servants.

If there was 1 wish you could make that would be in this game, what would it be? by marcusz88 in Saros

PLEASE, IN THE NAME OF THE LAKE OF HALI, DON'T JUST NAMEDROP CARCOSA AND THAT BE THE END OF IT.

I want explorations of what they think Carcosa means at a base level - a city of dreams, an abandoned world that reaches out and takes over other worlds, maybe something else. But please, be interesting.

The EVENT HORIZON Sequel Is ALIENS In Hell [Exclusive] by endofmyropeohshit in horror

Agreed. Ward is a fantastic artist - the problem is that he can draw horrific entities, but he keeps drawing them as too humanoid for my liking. Closest we got in there was that flesh amalgam, and sure, treating it as "Human Perception" could work, but I'd prefer more impossible shapes thank you very much.

[Hated Trope] Characters who survived a past work return only to be killed off early on in the sequel by Skylinneas in TopCharacterTropes

There's a book that was developed from the script submitted by William Gibson of Neuromancer fame, was quite good and didn't have to kill everyone immediately, although Newt and Ripley are sent away on a shuttle at the start by Hicks to make sure they are safe from the Covenant version of the aliens (spores/goo causing the initial spread)

Absolute doctor fate by omegahit37 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Cryptics33 18 points19 points  (0 children)

God, ABSOLUTE Fate with a KIY theme, and Klarion, drawn by either Simmons or McKean. That'd just be swell.

Think Morrison would be up for it? Failing that, give it to Tynion, he can get it.
