Halo's awesome, and I like pretty much all of it for the most part, even some of the more controversial things, or confusing storytelling decisions, as between the books, main games (ce,2,3,4,5,infinite), side story's/ preludes/ Alternate perspective games (3 odst, Reach, Halo wars 1 and 2, spartan assault, etc) and whatever, there's tonnes of cool stuff and a lot fleshes out the setting, both far before, recently before, recently after and present (of current halo canon) from the original setting of 2552 for the main trilogy.

But I really like the thing both Odst and Reach did, of a alternate perspective of the war, soley focused ( a bit less so in odst but still) on just the human-covenant war and not the covenant civil war, the post halo-3 AI shenanigans, the banished, or the flood stuff.

I would love something like another sort of Operation Prometheus or Operation Torpedo style event for either ODST or Spartan 3's, or something like Harvest/ the fall of Arcadia as a dedicated storyline for a video game, for either marines, or any sort of character and a self contained story.

I would be open to it being either a RTS game like halo wars or those Warhammer 40k ones, or a proper FPS like with Reach and odst, or something else entirely if anyone knows another good format of game this idea could work in.

Anyways this is sorta rambling but still. I want to know if people would dig this sorta idea, and if they did then maybe also give an example of what sorta thing they imagine for this type of addition to the halo gaming franchise, or if they don't want this/ think it wouldn't work, then why.

Thanks.

I'm thinking like the covenant, Zeon from gundam, the orks or the necrons from warhammer 40k or the Deceptacons.

Basically, imagine that 1000 yard stare image soldier, but replace them with a Helldiver, UNSC marine, Guardsman or poor cybertronian, and then it just that kinda vibe for a music playlist.

I know this is sorta vague and pretty odd, but I would love a bit of help forming this.

Also, in your experience, do men think female chest, belly , facial, arm or leg hair is weird, or don't seem to know about it existing. Or are certain hairs (arm, belly, chest ) just less noticeable which is why certain body hair is less known?

I love swarm enemies in fiction. By that I mean things like the flood, termanids, tyranids, arachnids and necromorphs.

Just endless tides of flesh and dangerous deadly critters.

Sometimes they are kinda like zombies ( Zerg, flood, tyranids ( I guess gene stealers), Xenomorph (most of the way there) ), sometimes they're just hungry guys, and sometimes their an alien space cult that threatens to wipe out all live in the universe ( Pick one! ).

They're great. And I wanna talk and learn about them with others.

List your favourite ones, and talk about them and their lore, why you like them, what have you.

I also wanna know the most numerous. I'm pretty sure it's the Tryanids, since they either have quadrillions in the Milky Way galaxy or beyond the quintillions outside of it, but also when I see things like the arachnids in starship troopers and how even if every soldier killed 1000 they would still be winning a war of attrition, or in dead space with the Necromorphs where they form moons, I believe theirs gotta be others who can rival the crazy numbers of batshit sci fi writers creating swarm creatures.

(gosh that sentence needs some more full stops).

Anyways yeah. Please do.

I don't mean characters who are intentionally written with it in mind like Luz from owl house, Marcy Wu from amphibia or Donatello from ROTTMNT, but more like ones unintentionally written to characterise it, or one's never clearly stated to have it.

A lot of characters from my childhood shows and movies, such as entrapta from She-ra and the princesses of power (she was written to have it I just never realised it), star butterfly, Dory from finding Nemo, Mable from Gravity falls, Darwin (and possibly gumball as well) from the amazing world of gumball, Jake peralta (technically counts, I saw it as a kid), Mirko from glitch techs, Martin Kratt from wild kratts, and others I can't think of.

All of the characters I've got here I doubt have been confirmed (minus entrapta), but they can easily be read as some form of neurodivergent, and when I recognised this pattern I was curious about others thoughts on this.

I'm not saying all or really any of these are confirmed, nore any weird or quirky character is just neurodivergent, but damn I really understand why these were my favourite characters growing up.
