Okay

Sexy dark samus...with minimum personification

I didn’t know just how much I wanted this? It’s...intriguing.

Huh? Guess I'm now sexually attracted to a caustic physical form of living energy and scattered genetic code.

Does this make me Phazon-sexual?

Not gonna lie, that Core Essence-ish face is a pretty cool headcanon for what's under the helmet.

That's assuming there's, you know, a separate entity under the suit, and not just some extra phazon crystals that grew out of a sentient armor carapace.

It's canon, actually. Just... not sexy .

Yeah, the 3-eyed skull, veins... that's all actually canon.
