Blue story collecting traveler (writing) meets blue story collecting traveler (oral reciting)- Marbles and Sailor, the later which is my oc! He has a boat-submarine hybrid that is covered on the outside by stitched together poppycorn cover leaves, as those withstand the force of the cycle rain in-game! This isn't a specific area in game, just one that has large water and some fog. I figured they would have a common topic to interact over The Pioneer was really fun to draw and trying to figure out the composition of this piece! I'm so glad I could submit this!

// Ohhh damn, this is so cool 😳 thank you so much, Z!

Marbles is not a big fan of water... however, she's been blessed with lung capacity of a regular slugcat as her other parent was a semi-aquatic scug. She can swim and dive just fine, but any contact with water impedes her ability to do explosive jumps, because the flammable component in her fur is washed away.

I love the composition in your drawing. The entirety of Act 3 will take place in a location that is close to an ocean, which is what this scene reminds me of.

day six: Taming!!!

Featuring my first tamed lizard that got stuck in my den and followed me around as i freaked out while down in subterranea trying to find ultra death or something i guess

[spotsupstuff]

You mentioned that you wanted to develop the Seafarer's character more. Any ideas for him so far? Is he also getting a lil redesign like the Tinkerer?

Tinkerer redesign... -face in hands- that thang is more like a design update- what's the difference? i did Not feckin touch that slug with the conscious goal of changing her up, she just yoinked my hand n went by herself

but u right u right either way, we gotta poke Seaf a lil too

changed the sown eye for a piece of Zephyr's sash thing cuz back when i originally made Seaf i was thinkin that the iterator who he was the companion to was functioning mostly fine n i yoinked Zephyr's privilage of using her facilities at some point so she wouldn't be able to treat the wound like that. piece of her own clothes it is

the yellow also looks very good on him ngl... motherfucker looks like the flag of Sweden. Seaf's swedish now.

purposes of character: • exploration of Zephyr's struggle to be soft and caring despite the shit that life put her thru • a window into what is happening with Zephyr just before her self-inflicted collapse because gods. i fuckin love that piece of lore. she broke herself even more with the clear intention of finally falling. and Seaf will be the one that will carry us to see why she did it • guiding the Scavenger colony of Old Harbor to live up in Piscis, Fish's city, after Fish goes properly through his arc consisting of change of his relationship with the Global Religion, religion as a concept and an exploration of his perception of the Ancients and what they meant to him • knocking up Artificer n having The Pups with her cuz i still cry laugh about that. canon as Fuck to this universe

and of course, he's still chewing on those shrooms

info under cut

saboteur is a purposed organism created by an iterator with the intent to sabotage the inner workings of another

it has white lizard traits, including camouflage and wall climbing in order to make it as good at espionage as possible

it has a long tongue like saint, but cannot use it to grapple

idk who created it, but ik i don't want it to be WAC or SBF, and it's not targeting them either

-

62 is a failed attempt at creating an organism that satisfies the triple affirmative, essentially a prototype saint created by the iterator Walks Among Clouds

after it showed no signs of being able to ascend others, it was tossed into the ocean below to rot with its kin

it was very attached to its creator, who treated it like his own child untill it was deemed a failure and removed from the can

it just wants to see him again

-

sailor is part of a colony of aquatic slugcats living in a village made out of debris

it and grappler meet when it journeys out in search of safer territory

-

grappler is a tree-dwelling slugcat living in the humid jungle beneath a slowly sinking iterator

the entire jungle hangs from the underside of Small Blue Flowers, the foliage stretching down towards the ocean beneath instead of up to the sky

you have to climb and swing your way around to get anywhere, as not many plants actually touch the water so if you fall you die

y'know, unless you have a boat

like a sailor

-

mourner is the only one who actually has relevance to the main game, being survivor and monk's littermate

mourner sticks close to its colony of nomads, finding solace in its remaining family

it has terrible separation anxiety, and is typically despondent and withdrawn, never getting close to anyone it doesn't already know

basically it has scug depression

it's been a long time since I've drawn anything for the Tumblr, so here we go. my roommate has been binge watching Murdoch Mysteries while I've been watching Sailor Moon, so I thought I'd have some fun and draw Julia in Neo Queen Serenity's outfit (sans tiara because I'm lazy lol). this is not my typical drawing style, I was trying to go for an anime/manga type of look for this pic.

[rw-makeastory]

Welcome to the blog.

This is rw-makeastory, an askblog where all you slugcats, scavengers, lizards, vultures, iterators, lantern mice, or other critters can help create a story. We are currently in the 2024-2025 storyline, which will end on January 1st, 2026. The blog pfp is a placeholder! We need submissions for a profile picture!

So how does it work?

It's actually pretty simple. You read the story so far (found under the cut at the end of the introduction) and send in an ask. You can submit any length ranging from as little as a sentence to as much as 2 paragraphs. Please do not submit whole books though.

Make sure that before you submit, you read these rules:

• Only send in one ask at a time, but once your ask is answered, feel free to submit another!

• No NSFW, some of the mods are minors!!

• It's fine to be chaotic, but don't change everything like crazy. Example of what would be allowed: Saint decides to randomly do a handstand while running from the lizard. Example of what wouldn't be allowed: The whole world then exploded and came back completely new

• Don't make your submission end in an ending to the whole story!! Unless we have specified that we are looking for an ending to the current story, any submission that ends with the whole story being put to a stop will be deleted and ignored.

• No slurs or excessive swearing. One or two swears are alright depending on the length of your submission, but for the love of scugs, don't swear like a sailor.

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)

Finished another Magma board /.w./

First time drawing Arthur! (Not really. First time I drew him was only his face though.

I tried painting his face as best as I could. He looks a little "meh." I gave him three moles for a but more detail. I actually have an idea on the new layout for thise moles. >:] (btw CGI Emily's face looks like Arthur's face. They look too similar.) He's mostly the same apart from his real life basis, which is LMS 1203 instead, and the lettering on his tanks is NWR instead of LMS. He was one of the many engines saved from scrapping, Emily being the first.

Also drew Rebecca and oh my goodness, she's absolutely adorable. Very out of proportion and not accurate but very cute. Look her happy face. <3 I love her sm. I decided to use her real-life basis' current livery, which is SR Malachite Green with Sunshine Yellow lining and lettering. Might add some red for additional lining (making it look similar to the BR livery, the only real livery worn during their service). Her basis is 92 Squadron, btw!

Remember those T&F and Sailor Moon connections I made awhile ago? Yeah, here you go. >:]

Here's whose who:

Edward - Sailor Moon

Rebecca - Sailor Venus

James - Sailor Jupiter

All of these were based off that promo containing the entire Steam Team (old and new) with a few guests labeled with Zodiac signs. I was surprised to find Edward be labeled as a Cancer (which is my Zodiac sign!!! :D). James was labeled as a Sagittarius and Rebecca was labeled as a Libra.

And meet a new OC, Chelsea! Her real-life basis is BR W14 Fishbourne. She existed because of the Little Blue Tank Engine found in the early books of the RWS.

Her face is supposed to resemble a fish. Her eyes and eyelashes resemble fins. Her irises are based on actual fish eyes. The creases underneath her eyes resemble gills. Her lips resemble the lips of a fish. Pouty and cute, right?

And then Debra! She belongs to my friend @nightsinfoxx15. She was fun to draw though it feels like I could've done better, tbh.

Oh yeah and there's Edward and James hiding (somewhat) with their pride flags! :D

Seven of Cups. Art by Valery Vell, from the Tempest Tarot Deck.

In the 7 Cups on the RW card, the Cups are filled with immeasurable treasures and mystic figures—like the gold and the dragon. In essence, they represent temptations into a non-reality.

In my version, I chose to fill the Cups with temptations that sailors might encounter—such as sirens, women, the drink, and gold.

It’s all in an effort to portray this card as tempting, elusive, and foggy.

[pineappleciders]

Can I have an OMORI pairing?

I am cisfemale (she/her only), bisexual, 19 years old (Turned 19 3 days ago), and a catgirl.

I’m extremely into fashion and makeup, being an actress and singer as well. I have a very long morning routine getting ready, making sure my hair, makeup, and outfit are perfect. I have an extremely girl style of dressing, my favorite outfit being my pink sailor uniform, and I always wear makeup and pink and white/skirts and dresses.

I’m very romantic, elegant, and flirtatious. I love giving affection and flustering, though I also love comforting. Kissing and hugging are my favorite methods of affection, especially when wearing lipstick. I can admittedly be a drama queen and fussy over details, as well as over the top emotional.

For a reference of me, look at Clare, my self insert. Thank you!

I MATCH YOU WITH...

RW HERO!!

he has a weakness for flirtation,,, so he's gonna be super red and awkward if u flirt with him or give him a cute nickname

he does rlly enjoy romantic things though, like cuddling and candle-lit dinner dates. he tries to make a move by holding your hand, and giving a charming smile

but it doesn't work and u just end up flustering him instead

he thinks your femininity is super cool. he thinks the contrast between u two is cute

if u two are going out in the morning and he has to wait for you to get ready, he might get a little tired but he'll help you by getting you things and making you breakfast

he lets you put makeup on him sometimes (im imagining KEL walking in on him all dolled up and he loses his shit and HERO like. charges after him with a pillow or something all embarrassed)

HERO doesn't mind if you're dramatic. if ur scolding him or somebody else or fussing over something he'll just sit there and take it. he a real one fr

he gets u flowers and jewelry sometimes,, and he goes all out for valentines day. literally getting you everything you want and taking u to the most beautiful and romantic places; the beach, a fancy restaurant, in a rose garden. he's determined to make it an awesome day

overall ur kinda dominant in the relationship? like not the one with the pants but like. if u say something or ask for something HERO will do/get it. he obeys u like a dog

he really likes getting on one knee and kissing your hand

if you want to pursue a career of acting/singing he'll be clapping and cheering you on constantly in the crowd. it's kinda embarrassing but he's so proud he is ur #1 supporter

this is why i think pirating came second nature to the gen x/millennials is we remember having our tape decks to record songs off the radio and the vhs decks to record television.

disney was a monolith even then because i remember my mom would find out about free disney weeks where a broadcast channel would just be open to everyone for disney presentations and she'd stock up on blank vhs tapes and sit me down in front of the tv to record whatever i wanted. (this is also where Dibnies Robin Hood turned me into a furry)

Most all of Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, I had on VHS i ripped from cartoon network cuz that's all we had back then.

And the blank CD-Rs became a thing, and blank DVD-Rs, and then the RW series came out. And you could record, digitize, any signal you could get. Aux cable your radio into your computer, you had the first CD mixtape that predated MP3s. Had the gear to run your cable, or even satellite, signal to your computer with a open source codex, first VCD anime collection.

The absence of physical drives was a weird shift, but we did hit a limit to what floppy, and even ZIP, drives could reliably manage. But the lack of optical drives in most laptop and even non-tower workstations is a sign that you have to admit to either "stealing" media to a flash drive (which most tvs support nowadays) or give up on an entire history of VHS recordings, cassette audio recordings, burnt CDs and DVDs. (Nevermind even legitimately purchased media in any of those formats.)

Want to listen to Green Day's debut album Dookie? Unless you have a tape deck or CD player still... gotta stream it.

Even game consoles... like you have to make sure you purchase one with an optical drive.

My car doesn't have either a tape deck nor a cd player. I have to either aux in or bluetooth from my phone. (at least aux let's me resurrect a dead ipod or a sony discman/walkman)

But then all of that takes some effort. . . Why manage your library when you can stream from (five to ten different) service subscriptions?

“To protect their copyright, streaming sites do not allow for screenshotting of any kind.”

Hey remember VHS where you bought a box to plug into your tv and you could legally record whatever was playing and then own it for free forever

I think based on what I've read so far, I agree with the idea that Moby Dick is a criticism of transcendentalism and of RW Emerson in particular

like it's about Ahab and Ishmael

two biblical characters that are seen as deviating from right covenant with God

like Ishmael waxes poetic about how the color white is uncanny and Universally Symbolizes the sublime, but then he also condemns belief that Moby Dick is anything more than just a whale as sailor superstition!

you aren't supposed to take what Ahab and perhaps later Ishmael believes about the whale to be literal, let alone that this is what Melville is trying to say

there are superficial similarities to lovecraft, because he was an antiquarian in his prose and was overtly evoking these older works in symbol

then again, even more people will completely misunderstand what Lovecraft was trying to say about Cosmic Horror in his stories ala Derleth

[matchakoii]

I gave it my best shot at the Redraw Usagi challenge! Though I decided to draw my Ronin Warriors OC, Anya, in the pose instead just to make it fun! Gotta say it was indeed a challenge to switch the style to the Ronin one. Yee, but, I love how it turned out! 

[spotsupstuff]

Creature of root and wire? Folks gods? I am listening

GJLKDSJLKMK there's!!! not much thought that went into those doodles, honestly! i've just been listening to a lot of folk related stuff (and thinkin of my own n irish/scottish/sailor culture) mainly cuz it's connected to The OC Lore

but some thoughts that did spawn: the iterators are dieties of nature hiding away and just wanting to be more or less left alone (with possibly some meddling from other creatures, wink wonk ancients, this would take place from the perspective of slugcats again)

Pebbles is known as The Creature of Root and Wire. he hides in the dark depths of a secluded forest of dark oak. his place is protected by twisting branches and roots that seem to come alive, attempting to either guide lost creatures away or straight up kill them (The Rot are sickly trees that no longer listen to Pebs). Pebbles himself has skin of bark and moves around thanks to a living branch his body seems to be growing out of. within the bark are mechanications and his throat is made mainly of wires and some pipes, with a mask just kind of slapped on top of that to give the illusion of a head and a face

Moon is known as the Fallen Patience. she's hidden in marshes that the elders claim weren't always there, especially since the marshes are the domain of another (Nish). only the most daring or the most idiotic make their way to her. there's stories of her either cursing or blessing passerbys with knowledge, if they stay with her a kind little while. she kind of reminds me of a kelpie

going off of some slavic folk stories i know, a lot of iteractions with them revolves around being kind and hospitable. if one brings them offering of food (bread and salt is most appreciated since in my culture that is a way to welcome your guests!!!! :D) and is nice to them, they ought to repay the favor. if given gold and one is rude with them, they are gon either curse the beggar in some Folk™ way or just strike them down right then and there

Moon's domain used to be more or less plains with shores and bushes but because of Things like in canon RW shit went down. with time her place changed into a marsh and when it did, Nish found out about her condition since he just knows whats up in his own domain. purposing a little energetic glowing dragonfly, he sent his beautiful daughter (-cough- Hunter, she's pretty to me ok -cough-) to guide and protect the dragonfly all the way to Moon. Nish himself i'm thinkin would have similar stuff going on like a vodník (waterman??? lil green man that collects souls in cups) combined with the slavic deity Živa (goddess of life and spring, život translates to life)

oh! and neurons for Moon and Pebs are fireflies and for Nish they are dragonflies!

Suns i GUESS could be something like Poludnica. a guardian being of the holiness of midday (poludnie means midday so u can see the connection!). i remember some stories about how if one would work in the fields during midday, a beautiful woman would appear in the tall grass and tempt them to come to her. once close, it'd be revealed that she's actually quite an ugly old thing and then would kill the guy cuz of course what else this is Folklore
