#tw throwing up mention

[dustykneed]

Wow. surprisingly peaceful domestic moment. When will it be ruined? /ref Bones + Spock @ Jim (mcspirk)

here ya go anon !! thank you so much for the req<33

the reason bones and spock are always arguing is because every time they agree on something the universe will make jim do something completely reckless and stupid just to fill the old married couple bitchiness deficit in the space-time continuum. (also psst if jim hadn't interrupted his husbands in panel two spock would totally have worked his way up to resting his hand on bones' shoulder lmao)

RAIN WORLD PEEPS I HAVE MORE THOUGHTS TO SHARE ABOUT A GREEN CAT

Spoilers for the ENTIRE Saint and the endings for the rest of the Scugs campaigns below, also long watchout.

So we all know how Saint is an echo and how we all agree that the want to ascend others is what we saw in its campagin, but how did it get stuck in the first place because I highly doubt it started wanting to ascend other creatures across of all future time, plus why doesn't it carry over its powers?

The Hypothesis of Saints Past

Unlike most Slugcats, Saint has no Scug family or friends to speak of or memory of and no connection to any Iterator, most likely "born" with its powers. (To those of the "Saint is made by Sliver" truthers gang (same), we have no other base than Sliver is dead and Saint is able to ascend Iterators. I think any Iterator that made a triple affirmative into an animal would wipe its memory of them because that connection could stop them from doing their job properly). This most likely caused a great loneliness in Saint, and assuming that Saint started off from "birth" with its powers it also likely had knowledge from other echoes about what ascension might bring, which is heavily implied to be some form of afterlife (there has to be more than 6 egotisitcs from Ancient civilization). For Survivor and Monk it was reunion with each other and their family, with Hunter it was reunion with its creator, even Artificer who doesn't succeed in ascension due to genocided got to see its kids.

With this I think Saint want to Ascend so badly that I was bound by that desire. Sidenote: I am believe that Rain World Ascension works very similarily to Buddhism and that any want you do not let go of will tie you and not let you reach Nirvana (in Rain World Ascension). Now, the question of the ancients, they want to ascend really bad right? No. They wanted to die. They didn't care what waited for them after, they were of the opinion "anything else is better than this". So now 2

2. Proof

Example A. BUGS

Saint does NOT LIKE eating bugs, however you can force feed Saint bugs, and what happens? Saint seizies. This however is unusal behavior. Usually slugcats know what they can and cannot eat and will not let you force feed them harmful things, shaking their heads no when you press to eat, so why does Saint? Because Saint isn't seizing, it is throwing up. Cats unlike rats have a gag reflect for posion, but if was bad enough to make Saint sick shouldn't Saint follow the lead of the others and just not eat it? Because bugs don't make Saint sick, this point will be further covered in...

Example B. EVOLUTIONARY ADVANTAGE, WHO'S THAT? - SAINT

With the snow and cold being here, what is the evolutionary advantage is there to being a vegan? There was one for Rivulet because of the quick rain, plants would be more plentiful and animal + insects less, however in a snow covered world it just doesn't make sense. Meat would be the primary source of nutritions, insects maybe, frUIT????? SEEDS?????? Theres no point, the plants made for Rain are dying (popcorn plant), are dead (lilypuck), or extremely localized to a reigion(gooieduck).

Example B2.

[REDACTED DUE TO MISINFORMATION FROM OP]

Example C. EAT THE GRAVEL, DRINK THE TEA

Both Moon and Pebbles speak on how the Ancient's thought they could ascened through eating gravel, drinking tea, and starvation. And after the echos were discovered was thought to be needed by some. Saint is doing the same behavior, denying itself the easiest route of survival by eating insects and instead trying to survive off of plants than make other creatures suffer. Thus in Saint's eyes it would be better to starve then to eat a bug, least Saint be brought down by an act of violence against another creature in an act of survival and gulttony.

Example D1CK. HELL PULLS NO PUNCHES, HEAVEN ACCEPTS NO CREDIT CARDS

So, while I understand it was more of a joke here is a statement from the devs about why, when forced Slugpup spawn is on in a Saint campagin there is a 100% chance of one in Rubicon:

However, Slugpups in hell could also be torment for Saint; "Here is the connection you crave so desperately you'd die for it." In a place where ANYTHING can kill the pup. It's hell. That is why I am also mixing with the point that the reason Saint keep ascending other beings is because it assumes that ascending others, espcially those that want to be *cough* Iterators *cough* would get Saint enough "good" Karma to ascend, yet no matter how many or how few things you ascend as Saint, it never gets to. This is because ascending others has become another want that ties Saint down. You can't hurt others more than taking choice away from them assuming your doing the best thing for them without asking. Also if you ascend both Moon and Pebbles, they get to see each other as they never have before. They could have been put in separate room and referenced that they could feel each other while also saying their ascended alone dialogue, but they aren't. They have each other, and Rubicon makes sure Saint see's this before it leaves

Example E. THEMES? IN MY FUNNY PAIN SIMULATOR? MORE LIKELY THAN YOU'D THINK

There are themes and inspriations from Buddihism that I've glossed over, but there are also a few from Christian. For one, there are the first six Karmic desires 1 violence, 2 lust, 3 companionship, 4 gulttony, 5 survival. Most of these have ties to seven deadly sins in christian mythos. Thus, I would like to pose a theme for the funny pain simulator: "Those that wish for Heaven, will find a self-made Hell waiting instead." Why? For both Iterators and Ancients they wished for an end, any. Yet it only found them through luck. It was luck that the Ancients drilled into the void and it was luck that Saint came for Five Pebbles and Looks to the Moon. Saint has only wished for an end, and it went into the void sea with this mindset. Now it is stuck, stuck staring at the tenth karmic symbol, the symbol for ascension, and the symbol for the desire of ascension for the self and others. Because it became an echo at some point, I don't think the campagin we play is Saint first run through the cycle, as it doesn't wake with its powers and even without eating a neuron Saint can see Void Spawn, something it is stripped of through the void and get back through echos.

Rebuttal(s)

Wouldn't want of compaionship stick Saint at karma 3 instead of being at a natural 10 with its powers?

I believe the void sea put a lock on Saint's powers, I think before Saints first attempt at ascension Saint's powers could be accessed at any karma level, as they are once you unlock them.

Then why does Monk and Survivor get to ascend even though they want campaginionship?

Excluding Saint, all slugcat have to be told about the void by Iterators. Those Iterators don't know about the afterlife, thus any time you ascend as a slugcat, the slugcat is probably expect a death that ends in nothingness, not reunion, completing the ascension as whatever slugcat you play as lets go of its karmic desires.

Conclusion

Saint is a lonely cat that is way more tragic why you attempt to analyize the poor thing, stuck suffering in a cycle of its own make, forever seeing itself grant others what it longs for, forever going into Rubicon and seeing a reunion of siblings separated by selfness and kindness. In Pebbles (ascended alone) words:

" An aberrant cycle twisting... spiraling onward into the abyss. What a horrifying destiny [its] found."

[syscultureis]

plural culture is weirdly loving your job as a symptom holder even though you are throwing up every day out of worry that all your friends hate you but its ok because it reminds you that you can still feel anything at all

I think I just almost threw up 👍 that’s normal

[artsy-arlequin]

Vomit -> I'm fine now:3 -> ough -> vomit -> I'm fine now:3 -> ough -> vo

[neurosky]

Going through treatment that causes nausea as a side effect while having severe emetophobia is just so fun /s

[princeinsomniavoid]

In other news either because of the bike ride to work I just finished or the pain in my back that's so bad it's making my chest tight i feel like im going to throw up 👎👎👎👎

[laniidae-passerine]

okay throwing up is undeniably bad but throwing up after wanting to throw up for over an hour is possibly the best way to throw up

[oddbrainedtboy]

the need and want to throw up is getting too consistent

[amphiptere-art]

Apparently I had too much Thanksgiving. I knew I had a stomach ache from having too much. I just figured it would pass. It did not. Frozen pain for a bit before finally deciding to go to the restroom and empty my stomach. Might feel terrible tomorrow. I suppose we will see

[the-fandom-queenxox]

EVERYONES VOICES COMING THROUGH IN THE 10 SECOND COUNT DOWN?!! IM GONNA THROW UP!!!

[kissbeginswithkay]

I put it in tags but tw for eating disorder mentions and talking about throwing up

I'm like. Really grateful to my mom for being really accommodating with my "eating habits" (it's either ARFID, autism, adhd, or two or three combined!) because I would have like. A worse quality of life if she didn't. My dad says it's a "diet" and I tell people that I'm "extremely picky" but it's To the Point of Disorder. When I realized I had something wrong early on I didn't know ARFID existed, I only knew about eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, but I was like "I don't...hate my body though? Not to the point of making myself throw up or starve myself at least." I only made myself throw up once, years ago my stomach hurt a lot one day and I didn't know how to deal with it because other stuff wasn't working. I hated it, I hated feeling it shoot out my throat like pressing down on a hose, how much my throat burned after, the taste. It was gross all around. It only relieved my stomach pain 0.03% so it was useless. It only went away when I slept it off, I still have no idea what happened that day.

My point is, when I found out ARFID exists, it's like I finally found the word for why I hesitated for almost 30 seconds every time I tried something new. It explained why I cried when I was eating a chicken parm sandwich. It explained why when I eat food I don't love it sits like a rock in my stomach, and I don't even feel full. I checked my diary I have on a separate platform and literally 2 years ago I was sharing that food was 'acidlike' and if a texture or taste I didn't like enveloped my tongue then I would feel like I never wanted to eat again. And then it was a few days after I made that entry that I found out what ARFID was. I still semi question if it's that or just really heavy sensory issues but I wanna keep it close for whenever I decide to talk to a doctor (I hate making appointments shits annoying LMAO)

I promise y'all I'm gonna get a therapist I swear to God LOLLL but yeah love my mom thank you forever for buying me what I can eat even though I ended up developing lactose sensitivity and most of the things I eat have cheese 😁😁😁 UGHHHH I hate it here but also that's literally not her fault at all it's just a shitty (teehee) coincidence

anyway love you all byeee

[sincerecinnamon]

My mom likes to say I never eat or that I force my dad out to buy specific foods or that it's just something I have to push through.

It's weird because even when some of those things are medical dietary requirements, she still doesn't believe me, so when it comes to my arfid and literally sobbing because I just made this food and due to a combination of my health anxiety and sensory issues AND the fear of ever wasting food that she drilled into me, I physically cannot eat this food, but I cannot throw it out, and even smelling it makes me want to vomit.

The funny thing is that she also had to cut some things out of her diet, and my dad (who is actually supportive through my ed and makes sure he knows he'll go out of his way to help me) said that he thought it would make her more empathetic towards me, but she just straight up didn't obey her doctor's orders and now he's scared for both me AND her because of my eating issues worrying him and my mom literally having her eating restrictions because she had a heart attack. She either has no self-awareness whatsoever or she has the most self-awareness and is banking on her own death so she won't have to deal with me, imo.

autism allies (and even a substantial number of autistic people) when you tell them your autism-induced picky eating is not “picky eating” but is in fact an eating disorder that you can’t magically get over in the next 5 seconds:

i will throw up istg

[1nan0th3rl1f3]

I've been thinking more about this on and off

I'm somebody who punches themselves in the stomach when hungry. I hate that I can't eat. maybe every once in a while I can stomach a single blueberry or something that small(with a lot of struggle) and I'm proud of myself.

I'm somebody who doesn't want to help others, who it hurts to even think about helping those that are suffering. maybe every once in a while I can reblog a post or two about the wars going on or a post on how to safely protest or a post on why you shouldn't commit suicide or send an encouraging message to someone venting and I'm happy that I helped.

but in the long run, it doesn't actually end my hunger, and just ends up making me throw up.

just how in the long run, I always say the wrong thing, and end up doing nothing, if not making it worse.

....I have been thinking a lot now that I know what my problem is

[justletmereadmycomics]

I feel like I’m gonna puke but maybe that’s just because I desperately need to sleep
