I lowkey forgot what you showed were only the heads. Now i'm curious about the full body, hmmm what does FAQ and FoAQ look like? And what can you tell me about them (idk why but i was instantly drawn to them both)

I'm SO glad you were drawn to these two! :). Unfortunately due to what they are drawing them has always been something I've always avoided, so I don't really have full refs of their modern forms.

Cw: Gore! Body Horror! These two aren't nice in the slightest.

He's a quick doodle of FAQ's modern form (although i would change a few details, namely more gore)

And FoAQ

Here's an older version of FAQ

These two are members of a family of 8 whose family tree looks like a recycling logo (I will explain.)

So I created FAQ when I was in middle school, having recently learned of the magic of the internet and got interested in animation (Specifically, animation memes) around when everyone was obsessed with making them the most gorey, edgy things possible. I became inspired, captivated by the images of horror and terror. As well as a few bad tastes in video game letsplays (I'm looking at you, Watson-Scott test and your pig intestine question), I became hooked on horror, suffering, and ended up concocting a miserable pillar of pain that was partially a reflection of my own puberty-induced hell.

FAQ (First Amalgamate Queen) looks like a white obelisk, made out of an unknown, shiny material. Buried partially in the ground, it looks like a building, were it not for four fleshy, organic eyes on it's cap, but they're nearly invisible when it closes them.

It's full of gore. Mechanical, organic, limbs, its body pulses and throbs within it white shell. It's gore is black in color, due to its blood being an extremely volatile corrosive not even it is immune to, but its body heals and grows with a very powerful heart that produces unreasonable amounts of energy for the tower. The construction, operation, hell, even the space it's supposed to take up doesn't make sense at all, constantly changing, shifting, rotting, scabbing, and pulsing with agonized life.

It's shell is invulnerable. No weapon, no god, no being has pierced its armor. Hell, attacks are mostly futile anyways. It's been known for a habit of simply teleporting away from anything launched at it, and onto the attacker, peeling away it's invulnerble shell and consuming its target into its own body, like an amoeba, and dissolving them until they're lost within the mass. It has a taste for flesh and hunts wildly, indiscriminately, and without thought, consuming anything organic it can get its viscera on.

It can't be stopped, communicated with, bargained with, rationed with, slowed, harmed, imprisoned, restrained, poisoned, predicted, or helped. It ended with a violent death it itself had allowed to happen, corroding someone with it's own blood, it's own gore, letting it fester inside a host until that host was able to withstand FAQ's foaming insides, eat its energy-generating heart, and grow its own shell, becoming its own tower, draining FAQ of its life and letting it finally, truly, die.

When I'd first created it, that host, that second tower was my sona. I don't stick with it anymore, but what I'd been left after I grew and moved on with was undeniably insane for an eldritch monstrosity, and I integrated it into my story. SAQ (Second Amalgamate Queen) is FAQ's descendant, and it too would be killed and replaced by what would be TAQ, then FoAQ.

There's a bit of confusion regarding the power core of these towers and the fact there's more than one (specifically, a half), but TAQ was split up into two parts. FoAQ took one, the one with a whole heart, and a FoAQ and a half took the half heart.

SAQ, TAQ, FoAQ and any other descendant were all different from FAQ in that they seemed to be more conscious of themselves, what they were, they were more aware of the wider world and could actually be communicated with. SAQ actually managed to get a group of Ermista to offer sacrifices in exchange for whatever tech/offworld junk it stole, becoming a god in the process and persisting after death. (Killjoy and Toizon actually have to deal with the mouth end of that in their story).

FoAQ was notably a silent figure, keeping to itself and not caring about the wider scope of the world. Unlike its ancestors, who all perished when their hosts went awol and later decided they wanted the keys to the house, FoAQ took the time to create it's own replacements. In the image of its ancestors, FoAQ would create the False First through Third, all broken up versions of the original towers.

The False First would be the one to succeed FoAQ, as FiAQ. FiAQ was the last of the towers, it hunted down FoAQ and a half, stole its heart, and then proceeded to absolutely fuck shit up with its 1 1/2 cores.

FiAQ would eventually loose its half-heart when it got fused with four other beings of chaos, then later on, due to time-loop tomfuckery, its heart would get ripped out by a proto-version of FAQ called The Prism Star Monument, fused with an unfortunate void-corrupted looser called Cider, and would become FAQ. FAQ would be launched way back in time, long before any other tower existed, and start living in essentially it's own Bootstrap paradox where the heart has no point of origin. (im planning on leaving it like that too FAQ is defined by spite and unfairness and a lack of logic).

As for the name, I've decided that FAQ wouldn't name itself, I'm not even sure it's aware enough to do that, but instead it's a name given to it by researchers observing it and noting that sometimes its body would open up and it would toss out a piece of itself, and that piece would live on and do stuff. The researchers mistook that piece for FAQ's spawn, and would call it Amalgamate Queen. In reality, it's more like if you were filled with slugs that kept you alive, you decided you didn't like one of those slugs one day, and you reached inside yourself and pulled it out. That slug isn't your spawn but someone who had no clue how you worked might think you spawned slugs. (I do need an actual god-name for SAQ though).

I think that's it? There's more to talk about individual obelisks like TAQ, FiAQ, False Second, No.1 & No.2 and the two little rats they infected, but as for FAQ and FoAQ, that's kind of it.
