Something about how Fire & Ice give up on going after Pearl directly, and instead both arrow in on dissing Marina-
Something about, Pearl having no shame at all, outright telling Frye right off that Off the Hook is here to “take control” and then literally talking over Frye’s turn. Frye’s snarking on how Pearl isn’t the boss here and no one’s cheering for her, ignored. How she goes after both Frye and Shiver asking where Frye’s big friend is to help her pass this test, moving right on to saying they’re both just goons making a mess anyway, little fish who should stay in they're bowl, but
that seems to give Frye the idea of hitting back with the “who’s backing you? Imaginary friends?” line… like Marina doesn’t even count as a music partner- or a friend?
Pearl literally yaps about Marina being divine, one of a kind, voice so fine, big mind- raps the lines off her cuff and the heart that's proudly pinned there
And Frye and Shiver go TARGET DETECTED. They lock onto Marina.
Shiver doesn’t bother trying to needle Marina about Pearl, the way their partners were each doing- if Pearl has no shame then at least she DOES still have a weakness, a soft spot, a thing she openly cares about- something they can try riling her up over
(problem: Pearl actually has all the confidence in Marina as a musician, partner, and performer. She's WATCHED Marina be all those things for YEARS now)
In the end Frye and Shiver just rile up the gay feels. Because Marina’s been living with a rapper who LOVES hyping her up even when they’re not on stage- Pearl who said she’d cut a fish for Marina. And if you don’t come to Inkopolis with a lot of self confidence, well then getting some from your girlfriend is fine too
But it’s cute that Pearl’s still so obvious about being Marina's no. 1 fan that Fire & Ice thought they could use it against her XD

Headcanon timescale, timeline and cycle [Description under cut - Do tell if I miss anything or if you have different HCs] [STILL VERY OPEN FOR CORRECTIONS]
Timeline
Timestamps that are canonically in the game are written red while headcanon timestamps are written in blue
Date format is solenear.cycle (SSSS.CCC)
SOLENEAR IS A MADE UP TIME UNIT
I made solenear 20 years because 20 years is roughly 1040 weeks which is close to 999 weeks/cycles
This is assuming all RW creatures live WAY longer than normal creatures or just scaled for convinience
Again this is all speculations and headcanons
Solenear 1400 - 1500
[1404] Void Fluid revolution happened in roughly 1400 because Moon said her creators' ancestors were the one who started it. [Vanilla_Subterranean_Teal Pearl]
SOS, LTTM, CW, SRS, and NSH's creation time are purely headcanon
Solenear 1500 - 1600
UI and FP's creation time are purely headcanon
[1525] I assumed that as soon as Pebbles was active, they took a few cycles to make sure Pebbles was operational before moving.
[1539] Because of the shrinking population during Pebbles' time [Vanilla_The Exterior_Ashy Green Pearl], i assumed either the Ancients stopped making iterators all together and/or abandoned unfinished iterators at some point.
[1560] I assume triple affirmative was after mass ascension as a headcanon just to make things easier since there's nothing on this (unless i missed something)
[1583] Sig has made slugcat(s) before since Suns learned from him when creating SM [Broadcast_Sending Information_White]
[1591] SM had delivered a pearl to Pebbles once before the ingame SM campaign [Broadcast_Sturdy Creature_Gray]. I assume this is THE golden pearl. So Suns probably started making SM sometime after the bug maze convo
Solenear 1600 - 1700
[1630] Headcanon scug creation takes 5 - 10 solens and SM was suns' 7th experiment [Broadcast_A Name_White] so SM probably finished at around 30 - 40 solens.
[1654] Moon's broadcast at cycle 110 states that Pebbles started using more water 2 cycles ago so probably at cycle 108 [Vanilla_Sky Islands 4_Pearl]
[1654] I assume that Sig started Hunter's creation when Moon resorted to forced broadcast because then he knew Moon is in really bad conditions
[1656] UI leaking Pebbles' rot happened before SM's 2nd campaign because Suns and Sig were talking about it during that 2nd campaign [Broadcast_Humiliated_Grey]
[1658] Moon's collapse and Artificer campaign overlaps because Moon is inaccessable and her waterfront facility is intact during Arti. But Moon is accessible and her waterfront has decayed during Hunter (thanks Res)
[1668] Hunter taking longer for Sig to make because of decaying equipment [Vanilla_Red stomach_Aquamarine Pearl] and only took a cycle before sending Hunter out (Rushing with examinations and missed the faulty rot genes)
[1668] Gourmand and Hunter campaign happened very close to each other because of what Moon said about her 'last visitor'
Solenear 1700 - 1800
Rivulet campaign timestamp is purely headcanon
[1732] Iirc it started snowing when you take the rarefaction cell from Pebbles
Pebbles' collapse timestamp is purely headcanon
Solenear 1800 - 1900
I assume that other iterators would last twice as long as Pebbles if they don't have the rot so they start collapsing/failing naturally during this time
Solenear 1900 - 2000
Saint campaign timestamp is purely head canon
Cycle
One cycle is one normal week that consists of 7 days
Each day the rain increases in duration and intensity to the point it takes up the entire day or becomes strong enough to kill
So creatures CAN live through rain and make it to the next day until the rain becomes too strong to ignore and be forced to hibernate
Rain resets each cycle
Iirc your rain counter lights up when you're halfway in a cycle. I imagine this is when the rain starts to hurt
Tremors happen when the next rain will DEFINITELY kill
