#lttm local group

[ask-suns-pup]

So what's the general status of all the iterators in the local group? You're a slugcat, NSH is pissed off, what of the rest? Anyone else have words for you?

Or, perhaps, something hard to offer your face?

[velveteen-vampire]

my updated iterator lineup for use in a project somewhat soon...

[toxictoxicities]

Very excited to once again redo this piece and to have it be the Emergence Downpour local group!

Last Years

Messy ass relationship chart wooooooo!!! Local Group (LTTM) (and Suns)

These are all headcanons. Ft my Unparalleled Innocence and Chasing/Gray Wind designs!

Rambles below the cut

I am a sunstone enjoyer, but realistically, I think suns would try to keep their relationship platonic and professional. They feel responsible for pebbles, so they won’t let their feelings get in the way.

Yes, pebbles loves and respects moon. Yes, his self-destructive spiral hurt her anyway. Tragic siblings my beloved

I’m also a milkshake enjoyer. Me when two autistic characters fundamentally misunderstand each other and clash because their traits happen to grate against each other

[chromaticlera]

Very low-effort comic about pebbles cause I love him

I have a headcanon that Moon sent overseers to watch him and make sure he was okay

[mossyflowers]

I beat hunter today and I've almost finished spearmaster so I was feeling a bit inspired today

If POM WERE to collapse, I think it'd be pretty. Messy. Specifically due to the Rot specifically constricting around vital parts of her structure to the point of it snapping

On the brightside!! In the case of her collapsing, at least her Rot starts to rot and wither <:)

[shock-micro]

why did my brain this morning just spawn a rain world x majora's mask au and why is it actually kinda banger

[enbeemerang]

I think the best thing I’ve done recently was put a lttm print on my ceiling. Whenever I go to bed I can simply just look at her!

[paradoxbeta]

okay so EOC is FUCKED but when did it happen? pre or post ascension?

oh shoot that would have been good to mention earlier. this is all after ancient mass ascension, but before the events of rainworld. when moons superstructure collapses eoc is LONG gone

[xjustpeachyx]

erm uhh well you see erm uhh well you know erm errrrm uh errr eeeh well uhh erm well

[cioror]

fp playing uno with the local group (lttm, nsh, srs)

he's losing it (in the game and mentally)

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

[shkika]

THERE WE HAVE IT! Scugified all of the local group by putting them in the same situation as Sliver or Straw more or less!

These are mostly for fun so I haven't sat down to ponder them too hard hehe hoho

Explanation on their designs below the cut:

The Martyr (LTTM) - He's very tough, more cold resistant and capable of surviving one or two lizard bites even due to his sheer size, which makes him very slow. In addition, kind of like Saint, he is completely passive and cannot kill creatures.

The Prodigy (FP) - Very quick and also fully carnivorous! Her fur is very light so she has to use her food pips in order to glow and warm herself up. Can maul like Artificer while having the strength of Monk. You'll mostly be chasing bat flies with her.

The Sage (SRS) - They are completely blind so you navigate the world and map using your hearing and other senses. It looks like you are in pitch darkness in shaded with the iggy effect when it shows you the surrounding area. You can see every creature on the map that's in the room with you or the next one. She can also make pearls using rocks!

The Nomad (NSH) - Always moving from one area to the next, you can’t rest in the same shelter twice, unless you exit the area and come back. She can also camouflage kind of like white lizards do and crouch move while camouflaged.

The Judge (GW) - The Judge doesn’t ascend every creature. He’s relatively fast and has strong spear throws. If you are killed with the Judge, next cycle the creature will be marked for you on the map at all times. If you ignore the mark The Judge loses karma and vice versa gains one karma if you commit to the kill.

The Acolyte (UI) - He’s small and emits light with which he can befriend certain creatures and gain protection from them! He crawls slower than average and can only carry one item ar a time, because of his missing hand, but jumps higher.

Wanted to finalize some designs bc it's been a long time coming DTFYGUH

so we got Unparalleled Innocence, Looks to the Moon and Visible Reception (an oc)

[chromaticlera]

I drew the entirety of the Horizons Local Group! Time taken ~3 hours

my hands hurt

[autistic-pebbles-au]

Were pebbles’ engineers also really into mineralogy like he is?

[ We can say so! ]

Many options were considered before the final design got unanimous consent, yet as Looks To The Moon had already existed by this time, (Autistic) Five Pebbles could mostly act as her assisting supercomputer thus reducing the risk of running out of water and damaging any of them in process.

So what's the rock obsession for?

The decision to implement the gemology could be a bit random but with time the Superstructure Engineers began to realize, that LTTM and the other iterator projects in the closest area, such as NiSH and SRS, might not cooperate with others of their kin to accomplish the Triple Affirmative or simply would gain some "emotional defects" as they called the risk of prioritization the earthly needs over the Great Problem.

Because of that, they came up with idea of a singular superstructure uniting other machines by a regular interaction also exchanging essential information ( a.k.a. "sharing the worries with others") to prevent the "emotional defects" from happening. A proper behavior programming capable of this task would require more of the computing power thus that kind of iterator couldn't be able to focus on other things effectively but it assured the immunity to the danger this specific iterator would theoretically encounter. An obsession around specific thing was considered a good defense mechanism to apply.

And so, a mindset of an autistic person fitted well - Pebbles could easily and with pure honesty (unaffected by encountered "defective iterator") "share any of his worries" to LTTM - a senior of the local iterator group and formally "Pebble's elder sister" - and she would have a bit more of a control over reaching their designated goal of Triple Affirmative together with other superstructures without dealing with such unwanted "emotional defects" on the way.

Little the Engineers knew, Five Pebbles could turn out to be the only one not affected by the curse he was designed to withhold from spreading...

That's enough lore for now, I'll probably edit this by the time going but not the lore itself XP

Also I hope you enjoy this little comic-like art! I really want to make some real comic one day so that's another step towards it!

Btw AMOGUS
