Here's a little headcanon for everybody: the moment Sam was beamed up, he began to mutate. His brain kind of refused to acknowledge that so he was hallucinating himself as a normal human for the entire encounter out of the power of sheer denial. Being suspended in the void probably also helped with numbing his senses n shit.
Oh also since Sam was hallucinating himself as a human the entire time, the Visitor didn't really see human Sam. The entire time, it thought it was talking to a mini version of itself.
Also also Sam having mutated into a giant tree thing is the reason why the Visitor seems so small in the encounter in comparison to other depictions of it, as Sam was actually bigger than he knew. Not to say the Visitor is tiny in the encounter because that eyeball is big as fuck, but there's a significant difference between "the eyeball taking up the entire screen" and "the eyeball literally filling the entire fucking sky."
Victim 2 is @furiouskettle's Flawed Ritual Sam, I love how they draw all the arms n how centaur-like they make him. Also I love how they draw his expressions, they manage to convey his emotions really well even with his inhuman form.
10/10 recommend checking out their art, it's really awesome and their drawings of flawed ritual sam is just yes. I can't stop going back to read it again OOF
@fexarii this is what you get for peer pressuring me: really low quality doodles of Leigh bullying your Sam

Moldy Ethan brainrot doodles from today
Eagh ok not too happy with how this turned out but you know what? WHATEVER. The pose and shading turned out nice at least
Only took me what felt like 24 hours of nonstop work and the maddening spiral of perfectionism to do this HHHHHHHHAHAHAHA
THE PAIN IS FINALLY OVER. I finished drawing @jellazticious's (aka victim 6) interpretation of flawed ritual Sam. I love how much movement you can make when drawing this guy; honestly, mapping the arm tentacles was probably my favorite part of this drawing, if only because I got to make everything really wavey.
