Smiling Scugs

Me and my friend, Miles, played a Rainworld co-op campaign [vaguely] based off Smiling Friends. I played as Charlie, and Miles as Pim. These are a few of the doodles I drew for it just for the sake of it.

We found three pups (two represented as homonculi in the last image), which were named Jason, Smormu, and Zongo. I was the one usually carrying them because I have no lag on my own computer, but realistically, Charlie would probably want nothing to do with them, let’s be honest.

Charlie was made into Gourm purely because he strikes me as the physically stronger character. He also gets winded in a few scenes in the show, so that I thought was also fitting. I did not make him that because he was fat, I will be angry if I’m accused otherwise. Pim, however, I felt fit rivulet purely because of how hyper and fast-moving he is. The giant googly eyes probably didn’t help… Some people like to headcanon him as an amphibian, so I suppose it fits with that stuff too.

Cringey comic below, Muhaha

This was a dramatic recreation of something that actually happened when me and my friend played. I wanted to imagine it like the characters, they’re in this world with rules they have yet to learn, forms they’re not used to, all that jazz. This took like three hours, I have no clue how.

Ignore the black squares… I couldn’t figure out how to fill the space. The reason most of the text is digital because everyone tells me my handwriting is hard to read.

I Have a Proposition

-by thunder-wolf64

Cw for Monk Gourm Surv spoilers.

Story below the cut.

As Monk crawled into a shelter, rain shook the ground outside. Unexpectedly, someone followed behind. Monk turned around and jolted seeing the creature behind them.

Enot's smile grew, it's flat red teeth shining against the dim light. "Hello, short one!"

Monk's ears pinned, "H-hello!" He returned the greeting. Monk shuffled into the corner a bit more, "Do you need to stay in this shelter? it's raining outside now, I don't think you'll make it to a different shelter." Monk patted the insulated ground of the room. "I don't mind company, I'd never want anyone to die to the rain, not without as much help as I can offer."

Enot chuckled softly, "You sure follow your namesake." It slithered into the box, soft moss and lichens padded the cold metal ground. Though that didn't matter to Enot. "Do you share shelters a lot?"

Monk was quiet for a moment, "... You must've heard about me from the scavengers, they love to chat." The yellow slugcat laid down on the ground, his short fur and body heat warning the ground. "Mhm back home I usually sleep in piles with the others, but now I'm here and more often scavengers and lizards will hibernate with me. I have yet to see another slugcat though!"

"You must miss colony life, you're a sociable little creature." Enot scooted closer to Monk and lays down, its long tail curled around both of them. "Colonies aren't around inside the walls anymore, the rain is too severe and the shelters are too small."

"The walls?" Monk echoed. He noticed Enot's long and disjointed tail curling around him, but he didn't mind. "Is that where I am?"

Enot nodded its head, its long ears smoothing out to avoid hitting the top of the cramped shelter. "Inside the walls, a place where the rain takes over, as you know. Your life on the outside, in the wilds, is more tame than the destruction here."

Monk chuckled, "I mean, not dealing with jungle leeches is nice-"

"Is feeling yourself slowly becoming paralyzed from a spider better? Is dealing the rot better? Is swimming in polluted waters better? is getting swept off the ground by vultures better? Is lizards fighting over your limp body better? Is being drowned by worms better?" Enot leaned closer and its smile wrapped around its long snout. "You haven't even experienced half of the terrors here. No matter how nice you are, how much kindness you treat a creature with, you'll always be reduced to a karma flower for your empathy."

Monk stood up and stepped away from Enot. "You can't know that."

Enot hummed, "hmm, well I do." Enot sat up on its haunches and leaned over the yellow furred slugcat. "You need to go home. You won't find your sister here. She's already gone."

Monk's heart raced, what does this slugcat mean by that? "She's not gone, she'll never be gone for as long as I'm searching for her." The whole reason Monk came here was for Survivor, he couldn't give up. "And how could you know?!"

"Everyone really needs to stop asking that question again and again." Enot rolled its strange blue eyes. "I made sure your sister had her ending. You need yours. You'll see her again, you just need a way to go home." Enot taps his claws, "Except you can't actually leave."

"You're not making any sense! Is Survivor already home? Is she still here?" Monk starts to lose his composure.

Enot frowns, "ugh, timelines, how do I make this sort of linear?" Enot starts to mumble to itself while Monk sees if he can make a run for the exit. "Gourm opened the door after Surv- but Surv isn't home so Monk can't see her..."

Monk leapt around Enot and dashed for the pipe, but the messed up slugcat grabs Monk by the tail and drags him back down. "Get off of me!" Monk yelps.

"Wait wait wait! Darn... OKAY." Enot gently tosses Monk back into the corner and blocks the exit. "Out of every scug I figured you'd be the easiest to convince towards their 'bad' ending." Enot groans and yanks on their ears in frustration. "Ummm, sure go home. It's a long journey, and your sister won't be the same. But screw the timeline, my existence itself is breaking this world!"

Monk looks on twitch fear, "...what?"

"You beat my games, I'll have to think this through better next time!" Enot begins to cough something up, an egg with a weird red marking. "Sorry about this, but it is .. your payment for your ending or whatever. Find the iterators yada yada and you'll be fine-" Enot reaches out and taps Monk on the nose, "-boop!" Enot drops the egg and everything starts to warp.

Monk gasps as he wakes up where he started last cycle. "... I think I need to go home asap."

Moink avoided Enot's tricks through plot holes! Yippie!

Also new monk design!

[snailfen]

ive never had a comfort character like Ever and i still wouldnt call this that, but theres Something about gourmand. like ok scugs already are so fun for me to draw. but whenever im drawing gourmand theyve got me lying on my feet and kicking my legs and smiling nd shit. like ok look at this wip from like a few weeks ago

theres just. So much to love. theyre round... they enjoy the simple life... theyre an alchemist... an artist... a leader... theyre good with children... theyre made of 100 pounds of muscle they gained to protect their colony as leader... they find meaning in the endless and uncaring cycle of death and rebirth... Rotundness

Day 10 - Personality

Hang in there buddy

Oh so for this day we’re describing our OC’s personalities? Well this will be fun

Bombyx is a sarcastic and cynical scug. They wouldn’t hesitate to add snarky remarks and funny quips when talking to someone they aren’t close to, they also can and WILL speak their mind

However, they are VERY protective over people they trust, if someone even mildly insults one of their friends they WILL remember it, you could say that they value their loved ones over themself

They also believe in retribution a lot, in their mind there’s no point in sparing the life of a person who’s beyond redemption like they’re the kind of person that would be told “if you kill a killer the number of killers stay the same” and they’d say “ok then kill TWO killers idiot”

Oh, and they don’t want you to know this, but they’re an emotional mess that will usually cover it up with anger AND they hide their emotions from literally everyone expet Kerro, a platonic tsundere if you will

Can you tell that I think about this character a lot?

oh but that’s not all, because I have an old drawing of this emotion chart bc I definitely imagine them having distinct facial expressions compared to others, specially with the D E V I O U S expression, cause that’s a big one lol. I imagine them not knowing how to properly smile and will make the most gremlin expression ever

yeah you can probably tell but it’s a bit unpolished lmfao

but IF 😱THIS 🫵POST 🗣️GETS 😍100💯 REBLOGS💥 I 🍁WILL😼 FINISH 🖌️IT‼️‼️‼️‼️

I’m being silly ofc lmao, I’d probably do it if this post is slightly above average or if I get one comment that REALLy wants to see it

[sapphicdib]

SHE CAME!!!! SHE CAME SHE CAME SHE CAME!!! Oh i’m going to CRY, she’s fucking PERFECT!! She’s as long as my damn thigh and has the cutest most head empty eyes and she’s so perfect for hugging!!!

I normally refuse to show my face on the internet but I needed to show how big my smile was upon seeing her.

‼️ -> If you ever want an amazing scug plushie, either base-game or customized, absolutely visit CorgiCloud on Etsy!!! <- ‼️

They told me they were thinking of focusing more on custom scugs so you might even be able to get one of your OCs! They’re a wonderful seller and deserve all the support. I cannot thank them enough.

Now it’s time to teach Hunter to git gud at Rain World. It’s training for her mission.

STORY (SO FAR) BENEATH THE CUT

The Saint wandered through the chilly storm. The freezing wind stung their cheeks like a million bees. In the distance, they saw a lantern. A beautiful, glowing lantern. Finally, some solace in the wind... They thought while holding on to their chest. (@glowingvoid)

The Saint walked over and picked the lantern up carefully in their soft green paws. They stood back up and continued to trudge through the snow, sniffing here and there for food. They would occasionally brush the freezing snow from their green fur with one paw. The blizzard eventually reached a point where the snowflakes would quickly became a fierce snowstorm. The Saint needed to find a shelter, and fast. (Anonymous)

The saint found a shelter, but there was a wounded strawberry lizard in there aswell. It seemed asleep, but could be woken up at any moment, the deciding factor was if it was safe or dangerous if it wakes up... (Anonymous)

Saint laid their head down, but was unable to sleep. They rolled over to inspect the strawberry lizard. It was losing blood at an alarming rate. The Saint was alarmed at the sight of stab wounds. It could be a scavenger... Or something else. (@glowingvoid)

The strawberry lizard let out whines of pain in its sleep, it's wounds were very fresh, it woke up but was too weak and in pain to try fight or harm the Saint. (Anonymous)

Saint felt like they should do something to help the poor creature, but what? It wasn't like they knew medicine of any kind. They couldn't put it out of it's misery, either. But they could provide it with comfort and warmth. Setting their lantern between the two species, they smiled softly and reached out, trying to pet the creature and reassure it that it was safe here. (@angelofchaos001)

The strawberry lizard hissed at saint’s gesture, Saint hesitated for a moment, before ultimately deciding to go through with the action. The lizard didn’t lash out as saint rested a paw on its head, likely due being too injured to muster the strength to snap at them.after a moment of contact, the creature seemed to calm to saint’s touch perhaps realizing they weren't here to harm it. (Anonymous)

Saint and the lizard both looked at each other with a pitiful stare. Eventually, the Saint decided to curl up next to the lizard. It wasn't much, but at least it was something. (@glowingvoid)

The steely doors clamped shut. All that was left was to go to sleep and wake up again to see the same frosting world. The shelter was big enough to not be shoulder to shoulder with the lizard, but small enough that there was minimal stretching room. The saint did not feel friendly enough to move closer to the strawberry lizard, but also of fear of being bitten. The Saint left out a hefty sigh. He curled up with his back against the wall and hugged his lantern tight. (Anonymous)

the next day, the Saint woke up to a strange, red, smokey slugcat (anonymous)

“holy shit” Said Saint unsurprised. But they were in fact, very surprised. (@astur-x)

"It's been a long time" the maroon slugcat rasped. Their voice was hoarse as if they had only breathed smoke for years. The saint recognised that voice. (Anonymous)

“How the hell are you still alive?” Saint asked. The red Slugcat shook their head, “Don’t know, who’s your friend there?” They pointed to the injured lizard. “I’m not sure, I found them like this in the shelter,” Saint sighed. (@dehydrationcat)

"Hmm. Well, they can't travel in that state and we can't stay here. Come on." The slugcat staggered towards the shelter entrance. Their movements were irregular, it looked like every step caused them pain. (Anonymous)

Saint hesitated. "You don't seem to be fit for travel yourself." They reached over to pat the lizard beside them. It growled, but didnt bite. "We can always stay close to here. I don't have anywhere to be." (@angelofchaos001)

NO WAY

NO WAY

AAAAHHHH

I NEED WVERYONE TO LOOK AT THIS. RIGHT NOW. WHAT IN THE WORLD. THIS IS SO CUTE IT MADE ME SMILE SO HARD….!!! THE POSE IS SO GOOD THE FREAKING. SCUG ATTACK. SOBBING. TFB…..!!!!!!!

[mewguca]

Me when I self-insert so hard i accidentally take a one-off drawing and make it a whole au

haha i am back on my nonsense...

i guess the idea is basically. twin moons haha. diana is more like. the game version of moon but probably slightly different in some way idk i gotta work on them both...Luna is kinda just. slef insert beam go brrr but also kinda different i guess uh. different kinda strengths and weaknesses?

Diana is more "proper" and better versed in her iterator duties and the knowledge of the world around her. She's more outgoing and assertive and can even sometimes be a little bit sarcastic. She takes on a big sisterly role for the other iterators, checking in on them a lot. She is well-informed on politics and history and other topics that concern her duties, and she monitors the condition of the Regions around her. She tends to be more logical and rational, but that is not to say she is cold by any means. She is sort of the model of a "perfect" iterator, and she is praised as such. This gives her expectations to live up to, though, and she sometimes struggles under the pressure to live up to them.

Luna is less focused on her duties and more...spacey I guess? She's much more shy and reserved and is a bit more pessimistic and unconfident...but she enjoys creating things like drawing and singing and talking to the residents of their can(s) about their creations. She is less concerned about things like politics and history and more interested in looking at cute little creatures in the surrounding ecosystem, haha. She also has a bit of a mischievous side she lets show sometimes. She likes to make people laugh and maybe tease them a bit.

They're both very caring though, of course. They both share that aspect of Moon! They especially care about each other and enjoy spending time together...they also like to dote on their little brother FP. They are both highly regarded, if in somewhat different ways and for different reasons. Diana is revered for her academic and practical contributions, such as keeping the systems running smoothly. Luna is revered for her contributions to the culture and the arts in the cities atop her can. They serve important roles and are seen as inseparable.

Of course yknow theyre not perfect so they can be kinda envious of each other sometimes etc etc hehe...

I suppose my idea for their structures is connecting structures? They have a connecting chamber in the middle, and the combination of structures in general can be either connected or separated. Diana is technically the senior twin so she has the overall authority at the end of the day. They also still share some water with FP because they are still neighbors.

I am unsure what their chat acronyms should be...maybe copy the theme of moon's ingame one and do Big Sis Diana and Little Sis Luna? Though...then thatd be confusing talking to their little brother maybe haha. But having them use LTTMI and LTTMII does not seem...the most practical.

When it comes to ...yknow...I am unsure which direction I want to go in. Should I have them collapse together since it's less scary if they have each other?

or should I be evil and make one of them force their water onto the other so they can get help for the other twin...But then....they'd definitely be separated...and if one side collapses more than the other, I'm not sure how you'd get them back together. Much to think about!

I think it'd be cute to see them interact with monk and surv, though! the little scug siblings! just like them! and separated just like them if we go that route smiles diabolically

I do want them to be happy in the end of course! but yknow we can have a little suffering as a treat

I have much to flesh out...waahhhh the brainrot never ends I suppose
