Alright Experiment's Hearts is now done, Woohoo!! Now as promise, I'll work on Nature Finest Addition but here is a poll for you all to decided what kind of series I should try next?:

Does moon keep a botanical garden?

[ Sadly just a lab with tons of every plant sample existing in this universe ]

Although she'd really enjoy such a feature inside her construction, Superstructure Engineers weren't so keen to add something luxurious for the biologist iterator if LTTM's capabilities allow to simulate any biosphere at will.

This makes a little paradox where you need to use a power of your "godlike" imagination to visit a botanical garden, so you can experience "99,(9)% realistic environment" XD

So I can answer that question with " yesn't "

This tiny, impossible to notice, percent of fake reality may seem irrelevant but for the infinite library of botanical knowledge called Looks To The Moon it's still too much.

I'll work on this topic more for sure

Do you know Fleeting Green Sunsets? You two are neighbors, no?

We are neighbors in the most basic definition of the term, yes. Fleeting Green Sunsets simply happens to be the closest iterator to me, but there are other iterators much closer to them than I am.

We were both under construction around the same time, and we often collaborated on research in our youth. Some of Fleeting Green Sunsets’ early work in the field of optics helped me improve some of my own telescopes, in fact.

I have not heard from Fleeting Green Sunsets in many cycles. I will admit that I am a bit concerned about them, given the state of things.

I hope they are alright.

An extremely belated blessed rainy day to you all!!!

Also bonus drawing!

Its not included in Akechi's ramblings but some Bhutanese people also observe Blessed rainy day as a new year. Porridge is a new year's food in Bhutan so that's why we also drink porridge on blessed rainy day.

sorry to keep bitching about frustrating rain world fandom trends, but I think if you read downpour as a pure "being alive is good, actually" metaphor with a weird dissonant twist at the end (saint's campaign), that ... reveals a shockingly surface-level reading of the story that ignores every interesting question the game poses in favor of trying to force a comfortable, one-note moral that only actually works if you ignore a significant amount of canon.

like, I'm sorry, but there's no way to in good faith pry a straight answer out of this story. I know fandom tumblr is a hotspot for disillusioned former christians, and stories about how religion isn't all it's chalked up to be are comforting for many, but this simply is not that kind of story. if that's your takeaway from it - that the world the game presents is worth sticking with, that ascension isn't the right choice - that makes sense, it's a valid personal opinion to come away with. however, to argue that the void sea endings are objectively the "bad" endings, or that saint's campaign makes no sense thematically, is to overlook a massively important reason why rain world works so well as a game in the first place: it's intended to be a choice.

saint's ascension ability is in YOUR hands. the game is asking you, the player, what you got out of this, what you think is best. it is asking you to reflect on the themes it's been trying to communicate to you for the last several dozen hours

(can you cope with a life that brings you more pain than joy? if there was another way to exist, would you choose to change? what would you give up to attempt another existence? everything? what if you're being fooled and you're chasing a terrible fate? what if powerful people are preying on your misery and it's all a scam? what is left of you when stripped of all things that cause pain? is it your true self? in a world without pain, what is even left? what if it's everything that means the most to you? what if you're going home? what if you could love without the fear of pain, loss, sickness, death? is the grand more important than the small? is it better to stick with familiar pain, or to chase something frightening that may ultimately make you happy? who can you trust to guide you? who will take advantage of you on the way there? what would get in your way? your own ego? your guilt? bitterness? love for the world you know, an ability to see beauty in the midst of tragedy? is this weakness or strength? etc etc etc don't even get me started on the commentary on religious institutions, classism, structural and familial abuse, and how this is all woven together)

like, I'm sorry, rain world is not a saturday morning cartoon trying to teach you life lessons, it's a piece of interactive fiction using game mechanics as a vehicle for some extremely interesting philosophical discussions, which it politely asks you to actively engage with as you go along. I'm sorry if that's uncomfortable to people who don't relate to those topics, but declaring bad writing on a piece of fiction for not presenting you with a clear-cut moral stance at the end that already aligns with your personal lived experience is just ... a godawful way to interact with stories.

(deliberately handwaving or ignoring major and obvious pieces of symbolism for the sake of declaring it a Good Story That Agrees With You, Actually frankly isn't much better. stop making me read analysis posts where half the story has to be a drug trip for your point to make sense)

It's TSAC Thursday!!! Go check out my ask blog for Three Stars Above Clouds!

Ask them things, introduce them to your OCs, discuss lore, tell them jokes they probably won't understand, etc... TSAC would love to hear from you. :]

Turns out Sunlit Trail isn't quite done just yet, so after all that they just send you to a dead end 😂

So how is everyone like my stories so far?

I plan on posting chapter 7 for Experiment's Hearts out soon while I figure out how I want chapter 2 for Nature Finest Addition to go.

I do hope everyone is enjoying it, I want to draw my guys but I'm not the greatest at drawing but I can only image them for now

Some concepts for my AU by the time they get to The Movie

[waywardsunlight]

Raine, Eber, and Darius are the most obvious rebels ever but it’s so funny how Terra was like. Raine and Eber make sense. DARIUS?? I AM SHOCKED. Darius, who suspiciously hangs out with unsurprising rebel Eberwolf 24/7. Darius, who’s moody and has beef with the primary weapons designer for the Emperor’s Coven. Darius, who started being affectionate to Hunter right before he went AWOL and fought Adrian.

Hey! Artificer, you want to learn how to craft stronger grenades?

(Teaches arti the entirety of how to make a fully functional nuclear bomb right down to how to build a uranium 235 refinery, make uranium metal, as well as the proper safety and precautions to use while doing so and a hasmat suite)

Raineorld questions

18 and 19

God I hope you meant the rain world oc questions because I spent way too long on this

18. Does your iterator have opinions about karma/karmic urges? If so, what are they?

19. Does your iterator know who Sliver of Straw is? If so, what do they think of her?
