Reversed Karma AU

A Rainworld Alternate Universe.

...

 The.. triple affirmative has been found- the affirmative that a ..solution has been found, the affirmative that the..solution is portable, and the affirmative that technical implementation is possible and generally applicable.

I remember that cycle... ancients swarmed the stuff, only privilege given to the founder, Sliver of Straw, was leaving us first.

And then cycle by cycle, our parents left..

Spoilered for absurd about of text, and general spoilers.

Saint never wanted to ascend anything. And by the time every last ancient was dead and gone, cycles passed, and structures fell. The green fuzzy thing was not once fuzzy, growing a coat as the rain sent by iterators stopped.

- - So it trailed along, guilty for what was not its fault, bringing iterators to life again. With a new name, [Pilgrim].

-- Footnote : Karma needs are reversed with the Pilgrim. Dying will up their karma, surviving will lower it. Secret passages will be added to cross gates you cannot with low karma, as it is needed to progress. =======================================

Rivulet is an odd case. I wanted them to obviously give rarefaction cells, as they did to Moon originally. So the tale goes they were created by a rebellious, younger Ancient who was fond of life and the cycle. One who refused the common ideals.

-- The swift little mouse they created, was given their own ability to create low-density rarefaction cells (singularity bombs) and refine them into more high-quality cells which the Ancient learned themself.

-- As soon as the news was spread to the general public of the triple affirmative, they sent the [Technician] out into the world, wearing several pearls describing their mission. ===========

Monk and Survivor lived with their colony, and were sent to scout a new home for the colony by the [Mapmaker]. They are named [Guard] and [Scout] in Reversed Karma. They brought Scout's two slugpups with them, even if the journey was dangerous, finding a new home for Scout pups was important to both Scout and their Sibling.

-- They find the tree in journey's end, Guard staying with the pups there as Scout tells the rest of the colony, including the leader, Mapmaker.

-- Footnote: Monk still brings Moon her cloak and several pearls. =========================================

The [Mapmaker] replaces Gourmand in Reversed Karma, making a map for their colony to follow. They are the leader of their colony.

-- Very similar to vanilla, leaving current living to the tree, showing the colony to the new home.

-- Footnote : Rain is beginning to return to normal, without cold mechanic. =====================================

The [Traveler] replaces Hunter in Reversed Karma, created by Five Pebbles to check on the local group. They spawn in the grounds of Unparralled Innocence. They do not have the Rot due to Five Pebbles more careful creation of a purposed organism compared to No Significant Harrassment.

-- Footnote : Cold mechanics are in work in these areas, as UI and CW were revived later than LTTM and FP.

-- Footnote : You may optionally visit Chasing Wind. ==========

The [Mother] replaces Artificer in Reversed Karma. Their slugpups are both alive, with the same explosive quality. They give Pebbles back his cloak and become a citizen after Sofanthiel locks onto them.

-- Footnote : Mother has bad reputation with scavengers due to passing tolls without payment before the campaign. They get a backspear due to one less hand slot having two pups.

-- Footnote : Rain has returned to normal.

-- Footnote : Mother has reduced food needs compared to vanilla Artificer due to needing to feed their pups. ===============

The [Messenger] replaces Spearmaster in Reversed Karma. They were created by Seven Red Suns to send messages between them and their friends, similar to [Traveler]'s check-ins with other iterators.

-- Footnote : Messenger has a mouth, and cannot duel wield spears.

================================================

A note from the OP: I hope you like them.. I've been wanting to show them off for a while. One of my headcannons for iterators was that the natural urges are coded into them with anti-ascension stuff. Like. Make ascension for us, but not for you. This is why they were wildly unsuccessful in finding the triple affirmative. Also.. Tumblr nuked quality of my image :c If u read all this and liked it perhaps a rb?? also hehe funny number thank u all

This may be a controversial opinion but we need to normalize and have more “bitchy” girls in media who aren’t complete assholes but labeled bitchy by everyone else because they have a rougher attitude than most people. We need more girls who don’t have to become nice by the end of the story to get their happy ending.

I don’t owe anyone niceness. I owe them respect and decency. Those things do not equate to niceness. Maybe it’s the depression talking but I cannot be upbeat and happy all the time. I shouldn’t be expected to greet everyone with a hello and a smile at my workplace. But especially in retail if you so much as say hi with a straight face you’ve got attitude or are being mean. Take it from a childhood people pleaser, I lost my sense of self trying to be nice and perfect for everyone. Doing so was one of the reasons I got so burnt out at my last job. We don’t owe you niceness.

The few girls in media I can think of off the top of my head who fit this:

Kat in 10 Things I Hate About You

Tibby from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Paris Geller in Gilmore Girls (I haven’t finished this show and while Paris is irrevocably horrible to people in some instances she still isn’t made to be nice to everyone and people accept her even when she’s not happy).

Julie Powers from Scott Pilgrim

April Ludgate from Parks and Rec

Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family/Wednesday

Edit: MAEVE WHITMAN from Sex Education also!

Any recommendations people have with women who fit this as main/sub protagonists would be greatly appreciated!

Seven prominent characters my friend @furgemancs and I created and built throughout time, for seven years of Hollow Knight...

A little personal note bellow

Another anniversary for HK and another self indulgent "project" for it.

With all honesty, there is a lot happening right now both in the world and personally that does not make me feel right to celebrate anything.

However, I wanted to mark this anniversary, still. At least, as a little thank you, for inspirations and connections built within community for all these years that I can call friends, mutuals and acquaintances I am proud to have around.

I already talked about how much I love this community, despite its imperfections and alike, the people I was lucky to meet and talk to are the sole reason I am still here. Still loving this bug game. Still creating for it. Still thinking about it.

There was a moment not too long ago where I looked through my bug characters and realized just HOW MUCH there is to them, how much creativity poured into each of them and in which way they evolved and continued to be one of my favorite characters I created.

You are all an inspiration to me.

Thank you for being here~ <3

Here's to another year, and I hope, strongly, a better one. For ALL...

The Tossa Pilgrim has been walking this path every year since the 15th century.

According to the tradition, around the year 1400 the plague was devastating the town of Tossa de Mar (in Comarques Gironines, Catalonia). The inhabitants asked Saint Sebastian for help and promised that, if he saved them, they would walk every year to the nearest chapel dedicated to him.

Soon, the plague ended. Since then, every year on January 20th (Saint Sebastian's Day), the people of Tossa have sent a man in representation of the town to walk the 40 kilometres to the nearest chapel dedicated to Saint Sebastian, which is in the town of Santa Coloma de Farners. This man is called the Father Pilgrim (pare pelegrí in Catalan), and still continues nowadays. He walks there accompanied by everyone who wants to join, arrives in the chapel after the sun has set, and gives away shells (pilgrimage symbol) to the people of Santa Coloma who gather to welcome him. The next day, he walks back. When he reaches Tossa again, inhabitants join him carrying candles, and many religious people follow him barefoot for a personal promise.

Travel Blog: The Problematic Nature of Salem, Massachusetts

First off, the history behind the town of Salem is extremely important to American history. Learning about the earliest European settlers in Northern USA; and the trials, tribulations, and serious mistakes the early settlers made is something that should not be ignored in any American school system. With all that being said... I found that my reverence for the history of Salem wasn't as well shared with the modern city of Salem itself.

To be clear, I was very fascinated and well educated when I went to the Salem Witch Trial museum located at the heart of the city. The real history of the witch trials was well told, and the horrors of how so many peoples' lives were ruined by outrageous false claims was well presented. The end of the history show I watched at the museum even presented an intriguing thought... So many during the Salem Witch Trials thought they were fighting against people being used by the devil... but who was the devil really using? The museum and the nearby cemetery that features graves for the wrongly accused and convicted is given the respect and gravitas it deserves.

The rest of the town however... doesn't respect its' history at all. Witch related merchandise is all over town, and many shops around actually advocate for the occult in a silly goofy way. Look... I know a town needs to make money. I am not against restaurants and stores being near the Salem Witch Trial museum... but there feels something very wrong about selling witch dolls right across the street from the graves of those that were wrongly accused of being witches. It be like selling plush airplane toys that look like Japanese bomber planes outside the Pearl Harbor memorial, or selling a John Wilkes Booth action figure next door to Ford's theater. Show some freaking tact when it comes to dark moments of American history!

The museum and cemetery in this town may be worth seeing... but the sheer level of disrespect and lack of tact towards the history of the Salem Witch Trials in the rest of the town is disturbing. Maybe if this town was a little more sensitive to how the concept of witches destroyed so many lives, Salem could perhaps lead the rest of the nation in teaching us to be a little more careful in how we treat others, or how dangerous it is to shout unproven claims. However as the lessons of history get buried in cheap attempts at selling merchandise... so shall we be doomed to repeat history...

*Side Note: "Pilgrim World" from the Wednesday TV series may not necessarily be based on modern Salem... but gosh darn it, they definitely took some inspiration from it.
