post im sure everyone had read or written themselves before, but can we talk about how fucked up it must have been for pebbles to be activated after his construction was finished, and how one of the first things he must have learned is how he is a replacement for someone else, and an unwanted one at that. how the concept of him was hated before he was even completed, how he was attached to another iterator because he was meant to function as her double with a different coat of paint.

he activates into a world that already knows and hates him for something he had no control in. ancients hate him because thats not their iterator, thats not their home. iterators hate him because thats not their friend, thats the new shiny thing meant to make her obsolete.

his citizens aren't his, theyre hers. his systems, his water supply, his grounds, they arent his. theyre hers. he was just placed here afterwards, an intruder into somebody elses home despite how welcoming she is. imagine having a reputation like that before youve even begun to live.

why wouldnt he be bitter? how long does it take for anyone to see him as something other than "moons little replacement with a bad attitude we didnt ask for"? how long does it take for someone to treat him as more than an extension of moon? was the name erratic pulse only to talk in sliverist chats, or maybe used way before that, to escape everything attached to the name five pebbles?

maybe if he was the next one to find the secret to ascension, he would be looked at differently. he would do something that moon has not. his peers speak sliver of straws name with reverence and respect, and maybe, if he followed in her footsteps or at least got close, he wouldn't be five pebbles, little sibling and replacement to moon. he would be five pebbles, the second iterator ever to send out the triple affirmative.

this isnt a "wah pebbles is innocent and can do no wrong!!" post. i just think its interesting to consider exactly the kind of world pebbles was brought into. how he must have been seen before he was even more than an empty metal box.

i think he was so reckless, so attached to suns, so avoidant of moon, and so unwilling to stop his work even when it risked moons life, because he needed to prove that he was worth something as his own iterator. prove it to everyone else, or maybe just himself.

he may be "godlike in comparison", but that kind of treatment would give anyone horrible self esteem issues.

I like the concept of slugcats using various flora as head accessories. Like Monk tying the wheel flower around their ear. Please excuse the rough sketches.

Artificer's pups would gift their parent a cherrybomb plant to wear, reminding them of their explosive abilities.

Survivor would tie the batnip plant to attract bats to it, a survival tip that their parents may taught them.

Hunter will wear the dandelion peaches that can be found in Sky Islands. Although this is quite of a distraction from their mission, Hunter thinks that they deserve to look pretty too.

And finally. I can imagine rivulet gathering many flowers that they find pleasant. bubble/glow weeds, Lilypucks and etc. And gifting these to Moon or their lizard friends.

For A Moment, Imagine

You are Joel SmallishBeans.

You are beginning your fifth death game. Something that has historically not worked out super well for you (and yet you keep coming back).

Hearts are precious and once gone they are gone forever.

But you can get new ones.

The first day is not going well for you. You have lost so many hearts.

You have to find someone to give you one.

First you try your wife.

You tell her what has happened, you ask for a gift.

You are not the only one asking it of her.

She declares you must fight for it.

You complete the task she sets but your opponent is faster.

Pearl wins your wife's heart.

Things continue to Not Go Well.

And you see your soulmate.

He is known for wandering off and disappearing. Surely he hasn't spent enough time around the others to have already gifted his.

You greet him with your old team name.

He is glad to see you.

...

He has already gifted his heart.

To Pearl.

Someone somewhere is laughing at you.
