ignoring downpour for a second, i have a personal theory (that someone has definitely had before) that the void sea doesn't really let you escape. monk and survivor see the slugcat tree, which a lot of people take to be "oh yeah everyone they know is here and theyre finally home", and hunter returns to the arms of NSH

but ive been thinking about this ever since i first beat monk cause like. monk seems scared in their cutscene, not glad to see everyone or to reunite with survivor like i thought they should be, which always struck me as weird. this is what theyve been chasing the whole time, right? their sibling?

the whole "everyone is here and it's all good" sort of afterlife thing doesn't make sense for rain world imho. it's all a loop, thats the point, and theres no escape. so my suggestion is that what they're seeing is their beginning starting again. more literally, the start of the game, the opening shot of their campaign's cutscene. hunter can also be taken like this, as instead of returning to their creator's arms after reaching the void sea (which doesn't make sense because how would NSH have ascended) theyre going back to when this all started, when NSH first created/modified/purposed them

and monk, as the most spiritually connected of the vanilla slugcats (based on them being called the monk and the fact that they produce karma flowers), is the only one that understands this. theyre struck with the realisation that all of this is for nothing and that it's all leading back to the same thing eventually. maybe centuries, millenia from now, when new civilisations have emerged and been covered in dust and swallowed by the void, but it will happen again. there is no peace. there is no escape from the cycle. it is a perfect circle, unbroken, and this is the closest they'll ever get

Yeah I ended up adding more to this ~

Diggory Graves

Convinced they only lost the deadguydeathmatch because not enough people knew about them. A bit of a Frankenstein's monster scenario. Uses they/them pronouns, is dating a ghost trans man. Despite their intimidating appearance they are lovely and would go to the ends of the Earth for their friends. Their arms are for hugs and their claws are for fighting

No Significant Harassment

They're just a silly little guy. A jokester. Significant harassment if you will. Anyway, a more in depth run down: They're a city sized supercomputer built by a Buddhist adjacent society to figure out how to transcend the 'Great Cycle' (semi-metaphorical cycle of death and rebirth) in a safer way than the previous method (submerging oneself in the 'void sea' which is a mysterious golden liquid that dissolves whatever it touches). Despite being built for this express purpose NSH never really shows a pressing interest in ascension, even cracking jokes about those who are still looking for a solution. Whether this is due to indifference, dislike of, or humor to cope with being unable to ascend is not clear and really up to interpretation. Example: NSH: I wish them super good luck in that endeavor. How is it going to happen? Have the overseers gnaw through bedrock until their entire can crashes down in the void sea? BSM: Please be respectful when speaking of the Void Sea. Grey Wind, where did you hear this? CW: I really shouldn't say. He's going to attempt some sort of breeding program. Thought you might want to know. NSH: Haha with the slimers, lizards and etceteras? Surely the answer was in a lizard skull all along! He's very flippant, but does care very intensely for those close to him. NSH: Moon? It's me again. NSH: I do not know if you are receiving these. Please signal in any way you can. NSH: I need to talk to you. I need to know you're okay. NSH: … NSH: Its difficult for us to assist you over this distance. NSH: Even more difficult for us to do anything in the midst of these tantrums. NSH: Were going to try everything that we can. NSH: Just hold on a little longer. (Context for previous convo: They genetically engineered a super organism of a slugcat (the species you play as in Rain World) to help reset his coworker/sibling after her collapse and restart her systems. He was so desperate to fix her that he accidentally messed up the slugcat's (Hunter) genetic code and as a result it became riddle with the Rot (relatively similar to aggressive cancer) :( which parallels his other coworker/siblings condition who also has the rot. ) He canonically uses he/they pronouns too! Nonbinary swag! NSH has major internet troll vibes. He has sent a data pearl of "something distasteful" to his neighbors on several(?) occasions and causes chaos. If he had access to the wider internet he'd probably be an influencer So…yeah! Vote NSH this website likes the allure of heavy machinery and stuff like that so… there you go. Kind of a blorbo. End post.

[letdownthepainful]

okay so something i was thonking about this blog @ask-the-splitmind-au (and credit to the owner whos name i cant remember IM SORRY) and i thought on my own take of this. So enjoy my thought vomit.

Artificer/FP: Artificer was basically considered as a failsafe from the start. FP knew the rot was coming, but he figured.. he had time! So he kept her around as a pet and insurance policy. He just never thought he’d come around to it. Essentially, he forsees he is fucking COOKED, so he sedates Arti and puts on a rushed conciousness transfer. This partially works! FP is saved, but it leads to personalities bleeding, resulting in a pretentious and judgy Artificer with resentment issues.

FP also takes on some of Arti’s traits, but moreso her pre-incident defintive parental traits when he’s in partial control. However, he still has that WALL of cynical thoughts. He’s still very unfamiliar with controlling a slugcat body, though.

Spearmaster/SRS: SRS saw this as the workaround to avoid a death by inevitable collapse. All other simulations he ran seemed even WORSE, so he decided SM was the best bet. The transfer for this one was less rushed, so it worked much better. SRS is the dominant personality, though Spearmaster can still take over. (And OFTEN.) They also finally have a mouth, as SRS wanted to experience some senses for himself. Though SRS is guilty about resorting to this method, they’re happy (partially) to be living life through a new set of eyes. SM doesn’t mind, as SRS usually lets them take the wheel whenever. The sensation of speaking is new, though.

Rivulet/LttM: A bit of a oddball one. FP was who brought the message this was possible to them both, and Moon, tired of being couped up, decided at a shot. Took a VERY long time to set up due to Moon’s state, but they took the shot in the dark and lo and behold, it WORKED! Rivulet and Moon mostly share control, with Moon able to interject and addon, while Rivulet mostly holds physical control while letting Moon whenever the time may arise. The shared partnership, a bit of a gem. Moon has a small crush on SRS that Rivulet encourages her to pursue.

Hunter/NSH: Another funny one. This one was moreso due to the absolutely horrible idea that NSH could maybe make it reversible after he got the brief idea of the slugcat experience. Shit out of luck! NSH got stuck with Hunter, and neither were happy but eventually got used to it, since NSH did use the time to surgically remove Hunter’s rot. NSH mostly is in control, Hunter deciding they’d rather rest after a misfortunate lifetime, but occasionally hijack for a while when they feel the urge to.

Saint (“Sliver of Straw”): A insanely botched one. Unlike normal, SoS made Saint using her templates from backup personality coding that was to be used only in emergencies. However, Saint eventually ascended SoS, and this led to a big problem when everything ran.

Since Saint had the coding, their mind warped to the idea that they WERE Sliver of Straw, even of they aren’t. They fully believe they are the iterator herself, and refuse to accept the idea they aren’t. After all, who else would have such divine power wielded? They’re calm, but a bit bitchy and pretentious due to believing they are.. well.. a random god.

thanks for listening yo

[lemonkatt17]

would the human iterators go on car rides? if so who would drive

Moon is the main driver, very responsible and honestly can be a little too cautious.

NSH while he can drive is a little too reckless for Moons taste, but in emergencies NSH will drive.

Pebbles- he’s too short to really see- (but also he’s slightly afraid of driving)

Suns can drive responsibly but freaks out a lot scaring whoever might be in the car with him!

[thesufferingisendless]

I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT.

Time to rant about the timeline I’ve come up with for my little unfinished AU.

And I REALLY wanna rant because I have SO many ideas!!!

Ideas below the cut.

So.

We start off at Moon’s collapse. Spearmaster is on their way back to SRS, when they hear something behind them, and look back to see LTTM collapsing.

EXCEPT. Her west legs give out first, causing her structure to fall INTO FP’s, knocking his over like a domino in a chain. Spearmaster rushes back to SRS as fast as possible.

By the point in the timeline Artificer is supposed to arrive, FP’s facility grounds have already frozen over, and all the dangerous creatures from Saint’s campaign come out to play. (On the plus side, the Rot doesn’t survive the newfound winter, freezing to death)

Speaking of Artificer, in this timeline, since FP’s facility grounds are frozen over, SRS sends out Spearmaster again to try and scout out how bad the damage is- Except SRS knows that Spearmaster is built to handle deadly wildlife, NOT the freezing cold. SO, he creates a sibling for Spearmaster. One that can turn their needles into explosive weapons in an emergency situation, who can light fires with explosive blasts from holes in her tail.

In this timeline, Artificer is created by SRS- As Spearmaster’s ‘sibling’. Due to some kind of mess-up with her DNA, her left eye and left leg burst in a fiery blast while she is developing, meaning her eye gets bandaged up and she gets a prosthetic leg.

Meanwhile, as NSH’s structure, NSH is no longer on a time crunch since he knows that FP’s facility grounds will be unlocked since he’s collapsed, so Hunter doesn’t have to worry about the Rot.

(EDIT) OKAY completely forgot about the Rot powers I decided to give Hunter so I need to redo Hunter’s section. So. NSH is on a time crunch still because he’s worried about how long until FP’s and LTTM’s systems have until they cannot be turned back on. SO. Hunter still has to deal with the Rot BUT as explained he eventually fuses with it and it becomes a superpower, blah blah blah. Anyways, he’s coming in from NSH’s facility from the northwest.

…Unfortunately, And on top of that, NSH uses DNA from a short-haired breed of Slugcat, forgetting about how FP’s facility will be frozen over. Whoops.

While passing through Outer Expanse, Spearmaster and Artificer encounter a worried duo of older Slugpups, Survivor and Monk, who have set out to try and find Gourmand, who was in the Facility Grounds during the collapse. Artificer and Spearmaster promise to find Gourmand and send him back home, and tell Survivor and Monk to stay here where it’s safe.

Survivor ignores them and follows, and Monk reluctantly sticks by Survivor’s side. Monk was born with type-two diabetes in this timeline, because why the hell not.

Gourmand, barely surviving the collapse in Shaded Citadel, scavenges for Slime Mould to satisfy their hunger in the cold, as they slowly start making their way up through the ruins, to freedom.

Rivulet, in the meantime, swims in from the east, getting lost and separated from her family. She wanders around until she eventually finds shelter from the cold in LTTM’s unmoving arms, for now.

(EDIT3) SCRATCH THAT SCRATCH THAT BETTER IDEA. So. In this AU, Rivulet is genetically engineered by Moon instead, as a sort of last resort, to deliver pearls containing her begs and pleads to Pebbles. When Spearmaster leaves and Moon knows she’s about to collapse, that is when Rivulet returns to Moon and just… stays with her, until she collapses. When she does collapse, Rivulet gets swept up in the glitchy, failing anti-gravity, and freefalls westward until she falls into Garbage Wastes, where on impact with the water she is concussed and given amnesia.

Saint comes in from the north and begins wandering the cold wastes, searching for what remains of Pebbles and Moon in the collapsed structures.

And Enot? Honestly, I don’t have any ideas on how Enot shows up, but honestly popping into existence to just be there and be silly is kinda in character for them anyways.

Speaking of Enot, one of their eggs hatches, and creates Nightcat, and Enot begins to raise Nightcat as their own, and by the time Survivor, Monk, Spearmaster, and Artificer enter, Nightcat is slightly grown up, around Survivor’s age.

With Artificer, Spearmaster, Survivor, and Monk approaching from the west, Rivulet in the far east, Enot, Nightcat, and Gourmand in Shaded Citadel, Hunter heading to the facility grounds from the northwest, and Saint heading in from the north, the pieces are in place for everyone to meet up in this new timeline…

Which is still unnamed! Reblog or comment with name ideas please :)

(EDIT2) Oh. About Arti’s kids, I imagine she adopts them when she encounters them while travelling through the ruins of Shaded or something and adopts them.

YESSS LETS FUCKEN GOOO- T H E M ++

[rainworldouterwoodau]

Ehy Ok so ive been sorta Absent Bc i was working on an art concept

In the Outerwood Au Once the Slugcat Colony Migrates This Is Where They'll Be Living In

Basically They Live Near a tree In Grasslands replacing One Of Nsh's Can Legs (they store food inside It)

They Have

-----------------------------------------

- A food Supply

stored in a tree wich Is Also apparently replacing One Of The legs of Nsh's can

-----------------------------------------

- a food guard posts

Filled With Weapons, Basically a Scug Guarding the food to make sure no One steals it

-----------------------------------------

- a Slugpup Playroom

It Has pearls attached to the celling of the room & Paint pups can Paint with for fun + some rocks too (theres also an emergence exit in that room too in case shit gets bad)

-----------------------------------------

- a room for Tamed Pets (Mostly for Lizors)

Scugs tend to tame Lizards or other creatures depending on their personality, But for Who tames a lizor theres a special room Dedicated to them (+ theres a room between the Playroom & Lizors den to make sure no lizor eats any Pup) Also It Has OE leaves attached to the celling to make It seem more like Home

-----------------------------------------

- Leader's den

This Is where Plum & Her three pups sleep in all Togheter (+ sketchered in my au), It Has pearls attached to the celling aswell + some of those Leaves In Oe Shown When climbing the big tree

-----------------------------------------

- Sleeping Rooms For Scugs

After all these Rooms, Underground At the bottom theres Multiple Rooms for each Scug, Ofc they decorate their Rooms with whatever they want aswell, + their pups sleep with the Parents aswell ofc

In total all the Rooms togheter are 12 (the Emergency exit Is Also a room Bc It's also a room storing Weapons in It)

[toxictoxicities]

plz I love them
