#fed scugs

[myrir-draws]

ITS 1 AM AND ME AND RAIN WORLD DISCORD HAVE THOUGHT UP THE BEST AU EVER: THE FBI SCUG AU OH YEAH ALSO @pansear-doodles​ SINCE I SAID I WOULD PASS ON THE MESSAGE LMAO

[malwarechips]

i havent seen this on tumblr at all but i see it a surprising amount in youtube thumbnails (???) but . people portraying gourm as this food obsessed beast who will keel over and hyperventilate at the sight of A Food rubs me the wrong way . dont do that please .

i was gonna ramble in the tags but i dont wanna leave it all in there so under a cut it goes.

it feels laced with fatphobia, even if just mildly in some cases (theres some images ive seen where ... its not mild at all. its right there .) . like. the stereotypical like . "ohhh all fat people are obsessed with food and just cant stop eating !!!". and idk . as someone who is fat i dislike it . a lot. theres? nothing in gourms campaign or cutscenes that really indicates that i dont think . at leastnot the THAT extent . like theres that one dream of gourm with a rlly big blue fruit (i think its a blue fruit . its some kind of fruit) but thats literally it? and he's just like . happy . not like . foaming at the mouth . the dude likes food sure but not like . gonna go feral over a single baby centipede levels of liking food .

AND LIKE . im fairly sure the main thing with the food quest isnt "oh gourm wants to try all the food!!" its "oh gourm wants to bring a bunch of food back for his family and friends!" based on the outro cutscene variations and ending art. like thats just a caring guy who wants to make sure the people he loves are fully fed!

mushroom + scug perhaps?

i know these are from december but hey i said i would get around to them! anyway, this is the mindless - an iterator fed them a mushroom that lets them use the slugcat as a vessel to control :]

*table slam* NEW ref new post

Forget everything i ever said about any of my characters it's all a lie I lied to you don't read what i said erarlirer

A LOT OF TALK + SLUGPUPS AND OTHER STUFF UNDER CUT

Lore (not all of it upd 06.18.2024 now its outdated again)

Mother is a big ass scug who, from some point on, has lived with no purpose – she was just tearing things up, eating, listening to some weird metal giant god, killing more things. But as she lives and talks to "gods", she learns more about the cycle and begins to understand it more. And so she finds in herself the desire to ascend.

But at her long and dangerous journey she suddenly finds kids. Unaccustomed to company of others of her kind and having never experienced the burden of motherhood before, she was, of course, confused and silly about it. But the heart of a fierce predator has thawed, and so as the silliness.

Mother began to think about her initial goal: what is it worth? Does Mother really want to decide the fate of the kids for them, dragging them into the sea, just because of her selfish desire to leave this world? Or abandon them? Mother is disgusted to the core at the very thought of it.

And really, is life that pointless and not worth living?

She has a new goal. Find a place where children will have a happy, somewhat peaceful childhood. Where they will always be fed, where they will not be dragged away by merciless predators at any second. Where Mother can teach them everything she knows herself.

Babis

I want babies to have a bit of personality so I gave it to them :)

They are placed in order of finding

Other

- Mother is a predator. And eats a lot. Like that maybe:

o o o o o o o | o o o

- She has really really strong arms and claws(they are especially helpful against lizards if they catch her)

- She can carry 2 pups on the back with little effort. Even 3, but becomes clumsier

- Mother is a bit sucky at fighting vultures

- But super efficient against lizards

- Lizards do not like her

- Ò т Ó

- o.o o.o o.o o.o o.o

- She's actually a big meanie

- But not to the kids of course

- They all live in a time when there are a lot of fucking creatures, so no easy life for you losers haha 🤯🤯

Rhank you byyuye

my son!!!! look at my son!!

playing a modded surv campaign as gourmand nsh and i found this little guy!!! ive known him for less than a day and i love my son so much. hes the bravest little man. i havent thought of a way to incorporate him into my existing oc lore but since im playing as nsh cat im thinking of giving him to my most nsh-like oc, AFM. i think she'd be the most likely to adopt a random slugpup, ill figure it out. i do already have an idea for her own slugcat friend, maybe dandy can be that scug's pup?

more about dandy under cut

so look at this little dudes stats

he is so brave! the bravest little guy ive ever seen! hes got high sympathy too. when i sent this ss to my friends one of them called him "a lion among pups" and instantly i knew what his name would be. said friend has also been playing with me, so im nsh cat and shes hunter and we're a little traffic light family its so fun. he has been an excellent co-parent to dandy :3

but oh my god seriously look at this dude. high lung capacity, pole climbing, and tunnel crawling??? fucking huge size?? fast as fuck??? actual tank of a pup. hes shit at being stealthy but we can forgive him im shit at that too lmao

(im using expanded IDs so that probably contributed to his wild rolls. hehe rolls. like fat rolls)

unfortunately i am currently traversing through deserted wastelands to go visit lttm (my wife) after getting the mark from peebs and dandy here just fucking loves neurons. ill have to make absolutely sure hes fully fed before we meet moon or this little fuck will kill her. oh the ordeal of being a parent

he died once but i did cpr so hes fine :) i refuse to end this campaign without him. if he dies and i cant save him im restarting the cycle idc im getting this guy to the slug tree with me

side note that i think its really funny that his least fav foods are the glow weeds and firebug eggs, both of which i hc to be very gelatin-like in texture. boy hates jell-o and honestly i kinda do too the texture is so bad its awful im glad me and the little man can agree on this

The Advisor, Wheat Tea

Wheat Tea was purposed to keep Five Choir's attention away from the matters of the other iterators the Borealis often comes across. After becoming very much fed up with his antics, Choirs gave him the job of monitoring the locked down vault of cryogenically frozen Ancients held in the depths of the ship. Adventures is extremely disturbed by this fact.

Unfortunately, he is quite stupid but he tries his best at the things he does. Even more unfortunately however, he has no idea how to stabilize Ancient vitals.

Wheat is quite weak and has low rep with most fauna aboard the Borealis but strangely, the local scavenger passengers seem to try their best to avoid him.

Scug name: The Advisor

Ancient name: Two Cups of Wheat Tea

[lost-sandwich]

Alright so I keep forgetting to post this in the day and only remember at night and I'm tired of "oh I'll post it tomorrow" ever and over so here it is now!

More info about them below if you'd like to know more ^^

These are two of my rain world oc's! The slugcat is called the Prophet! They love to paint using all kinds of different plants and bugs and other materials. In game you would be able to find points of interest and if prophet was holding a viable item or two it would initiate a short cutscene of them painting something, progressively getting stranger and of things they couldn't possibly have seen.

The prophet also has a thick piece of skin on their back, this piece of skin is able to withstand a direct spear hit once per cycle before needing to heal again.

While painting a large piece, the Prophet decided to take a snack break but was interrupted by a vulture trying to grab them. It missed and instead scooped the Prophet on its head and zoomed far into the sky. A long while later of struggling to get the scug off of its head they were flung off, way down into a large structure in the desert where they fell into a pond and managed to survive the drop.

The structure is an iterator named Guiding Unified Neutrality! (or GUN lol) This iterator was in the process of being built before the mass ascension happened which left them permanently half-finished. GUN was supposed to be a vacation spot, an oasis in the middle of a desert for Ancients to flaunt their power and wealth and actively encouraged to bring and show off their pets. Some of these pets specially bred, others completely custom made to see how strange or beautiful they could be mutated and changed.

GUN now does his best to stay out of the scalding heat during the day and works at night to study the animal life that has evolved around his structure from the specialized and strange creatures long descended from the Ancients pets. A large orange lizard likes to visit them frequently and have become good friends after being fed centipedes.

[containedconspiracy]

what are their stats, like spear damage, runspeed, amouth of breath, and most importantly special powers????

ooh good question!

The Bard has spear damage that's a little below average, slightly higher runspeed, and a below-average breath amount.

The Rogue has pretty high spear damage(i.e hunter or artificer) , average run speed, and an above-average breath amount.

The Cleric has average spear damage, average run speed, and average breath amount.

The Barbarian has high spear damage similar to Rogue, a bit slower run-speed, and an above-average breath amount.

Now, for special abilities!

The Bard can make a shockwave kinda similar to a snail by either jumping and pressing grab, or crouching and pressing grab i.e artificer's explosion abilities. this shockwave stuns larger creatures and knocks back smaller ones.

The Rogue can create flashbangs out of rocks, as well as not being affected by flashbangs at all (rogue can see through it fine), as well as having decent night vision! (visibility in dark places like shaded is twice as much as a neuron-fed scug)

The Cleric glows in the dark, as well as being able to incapacitate creatures via grabbing onto them and holding said grab button. this doesn't damage the creature, just renders them unable to move/attack for a moment.

The Barbarian can hold two extra small items like rocks, explosives, or neurons as well as having increased mobility via movement tricks like rolls, backflips, and slides! sort of like a mix of hunter's abilities and gourmand's abilities.

[akirameta84]

Actually that works better than my idea! And more easy to think about lol.

Nendou is the one acting as The Hunter. Mainly because of the whole best friend thing in canon, and because if anyone would be able to single mindedly revive him, it would be Nendou. Could even have his no thoughts head empty thing be because he fulfilled his purpose and is now just living his life to the fullest in a chill manner. Also no Rot because his Creator didn't know how long the journey would take so they were more careful with creating him to essentially be indestructible, thus causing them to avoid messing up his genome.

Toritsuka could've been his creator. And you can add in some Seven Red Suns lore via Toritsuka being so fed up with Kuusuke complaining about Saiki that he told him "If you're so much better than him, why don't you figure out the solution to the Great Problem then?!" before ending the conversation and cutting contact with Kuusuke. So upon hearing about Saiki's collapse and the reason why, he felt a large amount of guilt and instantly went about trying to fix it via the creation of a Purposed Being.

honestly i have barely any response because this is just so perfect so mwah. i love it.

i like the combo of NSH and SRS that toritsuka is, and the other part of those two iterators would be aiura. if toritsuka sent the first scug as the revival one, then maybe aiura created akechi scug. scug akechi has gills, so hes the one who could navigate a submerged superstructure and give kusuo a new rarefaction cell taken right from a decaying kuusuke, just like rain world with 5P and rivulet

ty for the asks anon, sorry it took me so long to get to this one

Chapter 4

Hello hello! New chapter fresh and off the press! (not really this one is a week old...) AO3 is completely set up, so if you prefer reading stuff on there you are free to do so! Updates on there will be spaced out for my sanity and to keep connected story bits together.

Trigger Warnings: Cannon typical violence, implied suicide, grief of a loved one, panic attack. This one is pretty heavy so please take tare of yourself.

Prev---First

Gourmand was jolted awake, not by the opening of the gates, but by an ugly, distorted, ring of a bell. Suddenly in a panic, she shot up and her eyes darted to the thing lighting up the den, a symbol she had wished she'd forgotten. 

A slugcat stared down at her, eyes strobing every colour of the rainbow and casting light throughout the denlike firecrackers. Their short lime fur whipped around them, propelled by wind that can’t be here. How had this slugcat snuck into the den? Had they hid in the darkness, waiting for the right moment to strike? Gourmand was intensely aware that this scug had no good intentions with that golden pinwheel above them. She whipped into action, grabbing her spear, which sat in its sling next to her, and with all the strength she could muster, launched it towards the intruder. 

The den was instantly shrouded in darkness once again, and the ugly bell rang silent as the body thudded down to the ground. The metallic smell of blood flooded the air, almost choking Gourmand. She stood still, paralyzed. Her breathing was quick and painful, tearing through her lungs as the fuzz around her eyes began to wet. 

She couldn’t let her fear take over her. She couldn’t let her mind race to places she never wanted to go again. She took a seat against a wall and focused on her breathing. Holding her own body tight, she filled her lungs full, and let the air out in a slow, and shaky breath. Like filling and emptying a gourd, she streamed the air in, and then out. Her heart was still beating heavily in her chest and up her throat, but she had shaken away the panic and slumped down in the now cold and dark den. She considered checking the mysterious slugcat, to see if it was truly well and dead, but sleep was already taking over again. It looks like one of the constants in her life was how quickly you could fall asleep in one of these shelters. 

She crawled away to lie down in the furthest corner away from the corpse and stared at it through the darkness. Finally, she closed her eyes. Her mind had decided to play a nasty trick on her that night, so she dreamt of a memory she desperately tried to forget.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Gourmand hadn’t the slightest clue how they found her, but they had. They finally came home. She threw the biggest party she could, and the siblings were fed with good food till they were bursting at the seams. Those first years together were the best, her heart constantly felt warm and full of love. She taught Monk how to cook, a skill they practically begged Gourmand to teach them. Cooked meals were not necessary for survival, like hunting or fighting, so giving Monk this opportunity meant everything to her. They were happy, thriving for the first time in a long while. 

But even then on the happiest days, she noticed something off with Survivor. 

They spoke of the robots that ruled the land. Of the beings that had left long ago, who built this world from the ground up. Of the Void Sea. Gourmand knew about all of it. The ignorant child and his broken sister. The pompous idiots that still linger, stuck in between life and death. How couldn't she? She had to admit, however, that hearing Survivor’s stories inside the same complex she explored years ago was nice, fun even! How different their journeys only a few years apart could be. But their tone, the way they spoke of morals and karma. How the cycle can be broken, once and for all. Gourmand hadn’t the slightest clue what to do. She thought maybe the young scug was just naive, taking the word of a sad robot as truth. In time, they’d learn. In time, they could forget the false lessons they were taught. 

However, Survivor did not want to give themselves time. 

First, it was Monk waking up alone. Then, it was the hunting party, short only one slugcat. Nothing, no rain, no leviathan, could replicate the overwhelming dread she felt. The absolute frenzy she was consumed by. She hadn’t wanted Monk to come with her, but she was too much in a rush to reason with them. 

As they descended they had tried to claw for any reason why Survivor could not be down there. Gone for a hunt, maybe they just needed some time alone? Maybe they got lost, and the both of them were looking in the wrong direction. They were just fine last night! They had sung songs together, even told stories and painted them on the den walls! They reached a shelter at an entrance that led to The Depths. She convinced them to wait inside. If she found nothing, they would sleep and head back up early in the morning to look elsewhere. She had the thought as she left, that she had never seen Monk’s eyes so empty. So devoid of hope. She would say that was the worst she had ever felt in her long life, if it weren't for Monk’s wails that followed her return.

They had left something for her, down there. Their paw print, a pinwheel crossed through it, and their scent unmistakably lingering on the paint plastered across the stone wall of the temple.

[pookapufferfish]

fine, since a lot of you are curious. this lacks a lot of small points and is just the broad description I made for a friend who knows nothing. also i was being a little silly, If i forgot points or remembered wrong feel free to tell me, but be nice

Part 1. so first appearance of eg eater was in august. I was given a bomb that turned into an eg that I threw at a slugcat but the slugcat ate the eg. on further examination it was a slugpup who is very hard to kill and can eat anything as long as it looks like an eg. there were a couple attempts to kill eg eater but that just started the eg eater colon and built their home. at the end of the day eg eater was fed and happy.

Part 2. People wanted to see what hatches from the egs, we all held eg eater back with distractions and food until the eg hatched… into a different coloured eg. this continued several times until we got a rainbow eg that hatched into a new companion, Gay baby leviathan. we put him in a fishbowl. meanwhile someone wanted a rival for eg eater and called over lizard eater, but they are chill because they are cousins, we also find out that eg earers mom is slugcat eater. also an anon decided that they are all trans.

part 3: kidnapping, we lost baby leviathan for a short bit but turns out a Zari was just teaching them how to make a pipe bomb. Then suddenly, Ardieno decides to kidnap the whole colony, I must pay two thousand million rocks to get them back (Ardie is important to the eg eater lore, remember them). I get the rocks from donations and I got them back. but due to the kidnapping an anon decides to steal the house of Ardieno, when told to return it they only give the outside back and turn the insides into an egg, the eg explodes and the insides are returned

part 4: Eg Eater is turned into an iterator and given a mouth, named Thousands of Devoured Egs. Eg eater can shift between these forms. Also, it is then eg eater bath time, Eg eater does not want a bath, we eventually lure eg eater in and give them a bath. but then, an anon drinks the bath water but finds out it is toxic and becomes the first villain, Eg Long Legs. we also meet Jeremy the void god, and reschedule a good time for corruption.

part 5: a bunch of people start living in my inbox for a bit, they summon fire, water, rivulet, explosives. Eg eater is taken in by Ardieno during all of the chaos. it all ends fine, the house insides get stolen again. EG long legs returns, and tries to eat normal slugpup. but gets crushed by a tree. then eg long legs spits out the house insides.

part 6: Ardieno tries tricking me into signing adoption papers, so we now co parents of the pups. The paperwork gets destroyed and remade a billion times. it ends fine. Eg long legs comes back and Ardieno protects the slugpups but suddenly eg long legs wants to eat Ardieno. Void god Jeremy shows up and kills Eg long legs and the day is saved.

part 7: New scug is introduced, the Antecedent, adult slugcat who likes hoarding, is based off of brown alpha rain world scug. so new gang is large. my hat then gets turned into an eg. it is hatched and we get! trans baby leviathan , tank baby. also eg long legs does come back chaos ensues. nukes, shelters, cheese, yeeks. also invasion yeek brained fake slugpups who crave something. not important stuff

part 8: antecedent chaos, we all go on a road trip to my sideblog to visit tbol because eg eater was launched there. eg long legs shows up again, angry because nobody voted for them on the fav eg eater character poll and we all fight them. eg eater is safe at home and we all chill again.

part: to be concluded, just wait and see

honestly interaction I just had feels like:

me: Hi Friend: Hello, can you explain the eg eater stuff to me? me: you have made a grave mistake

anyways I just wrote the entire eg eater lore for an hour

I love my sillies
