"Since the genuinely fantastic series debuted back in August, many fans have pointed out that Alien: Earth's eyeball monster-dubbed Trypanohyncha Ocellus and gendered female by her space safari captors-is stealing the show. She's small, sure, and at first glance, her socketless, squishy form may suggest weakness. But woe to he who underestimates her gumption, for he may well find himself with, um, something in his eye."
"Lil' T-Ossy has used those shockingly strong and adaptable tentacles to catapult herself across hilariously unsecured laboratories and into our hearts. She's strategized against her oppressors ( tap tap, bitch), given a sheep the gift of absolutely devastating side-eye, and even slapped a nasty, chittering Xeno around so successfully that it left the room to go eviscerate another lady instead. And now we have confirmed what real ones knew all along: Our girl is highly intelligent AND funny,"
"So yes, the Eye is the breakout (multiple times!) star of Weyland-Yutani's not-so-covert interstellar bioweapon competition. But while we're giving her her flowers, there's another honorific I think we should add: queer icon. I know many of you, like me, already feel the truth of this deep in your ocular nerve. But some may be protesting: Ma'am, this piece of undercooked calamari with an attitude may be "cute," but she cannot be gay. To be"
Alien: Earth features Trypanohyncha Ocellus, a tentacled eyeball creature who becomes the series' breakout star. She demonstrates surprising strength, adaptability, intelligence, and humor, using her tentacles to navigate labs, strategize against captors, and defend other characters. Her actions include catapulting across unsecured labs, delivering devastating side-eye to a sheep, and slapping a Xenomorph into leaving. She cleverly responded to a demeaning request with digits of pi and an explicit rebuke. Fans and observers view her as not only an entertaining creature but also a queer icon for her attitude and subversive charm.
