reblogging this a year later before trying to get some sleep because I'm still proud of it :3

...forgive me if this idea seems insensitive, but... I just came up with a kind of unsettling Kamen Rider-related idea. Imagine, if you will... a Rider who uses the power of music to fight, and uses various records as their transformation items/trinkets/whatever. Let's call them... Kamen Rider Tune. They're peppy, full of energy, and love to brighten up the mood. Now imagine that at some point, Tune finds a Ride Record that doesn't have a proper name or graphic on it, it just looks like static turned into a disc, and the label on it looks like a piece of tape with "E.O.T." written on it. Nobody else figures out what it is until later, but Tune realizes what it is instantly. Later on, some especially tough monsters show up, and Tune arrives to fight them... but doesn't have their usual energy and pep. They're... somber, almost. Unusually calm. They pull out the static Tune Record and simply sigh, shaking their head. "You've left me no choice but to use this." They load in the E.O.T. Ride Record, and... there's no fun standby jingle. Just... static, static that sounds like it's coming from a gramophone. "Henshin."

The usual transformation activation sound starts, but quickly fades into static... and then... you hear it. That nostalgic tune you can never quite seem to put your finger on. They're now in a version of their base form suit that looks like it just stepped out of an old, yellowed photograph, and is fading into static at the bottom.

They're using the power of Everywhere at the End of Time.

"You can't remember where I was, can you?" Tune says, sounding... slightly defeated. Sad, even. They suddenly vanish from in sight of the monsters, and the camera angles changes to show Tune standing behind them. "Was I... behind you?" The monsters turn around just as Tune vanishes again, in a haze of static and with a sound like a crackle from a gramophone. "Or was I... over here?" They're back to where they were standing before... and now they're vanishing and re-appearing all over the place. "Here? Over here? Right here? Over there? Maybe I wasn't even real to begin with?" Tune vanishes once again, then re-appears in front of the monsters, but not QUITE in the same spot they started in. "...you can't remember at all, can you? Poor things..." And sure enough... they've completely forgotten. "You can't even remember why you were sent here, or what you were supposed to do to me... can you?" A sad, somber sigh, and a shake of the head... and they've forgotten that, too. "Don't try to remember... it'll just make it worse." A slow, sad walk closer to them, and then hands on their shoulders. "But maybe... you don't have to remember. You don't need that old life. Just live here, amongst us. Start a new life. Maybe you can find a way to use those powers you have for something good. Don't forget those, okay?" And just like that... they've been defeated. But there's no explosion, and they're still there. No awesome insert theme. No beatdowns. Just... unnerving silence. ...was it the right thing to do? Tune can't remember for sure.

(hii Spot been awhile) Something I think that's interesting about the observation about how Slugcats are getting so much attention nowadays is that its almost a 180 from how things were in the pre-downpour days, iirc.

Though I am glad we're getting an AU like yours it's so interesting compared to the usual

Im eating with a fork

Yeah, the fandom was not particularly strong back then, but I think there was more Iterator content. My suspicion as to why slugcats are so much more popular now is because the general "cat appeal"*. Downpour brought in wider audience which mostly consists of people that go wild over cat videos on the internet.

Not my intention to throw shade on it, because after all what does my opinion matter to anyone, but I find the whole "cuteness cult" of the internet annoying and, when applied to Rain World, frustrating. There's a whole silent worldbuilding in basically every screen of the game and the only thing that people seem to take away post-DP is "cute sluggy go wooo :3 the Ancients were such cultist pricks Dx". Which like alright, but expand a little on the latter please? Try? There is So much fun to it when one moves past the "religion only BAD" mindset.

DP also I think didn't care much about the Ancients and the culture they left behind (and therefore the root of Iterators). "But there's Saint!" Saint is almost everything new that wasn't heard of before, can be taken as another fact of monstroid mad religion and, of course, it Has to be wrapped in a fluffy cat package. The undergrowth Echo also feels like a spit in the face to the lore/religion than an addition, to me. My *guess* would be the original intention was showing an individual who failed to ascend because of the Fifth Hindrance but it doesn't *feel* like it. If that was the intention, I think the author didn't understand why a desire to live/survive could ever, in any form, be bad

It's interesting as well in the sense that when there was only Survivor, maybe up to Hunter- the slugcats felt like a vehicle that brings the player to the story. The player saw the world through their eyes and got to experience the world's rules, abiding them- the original campaigns were still subject to the lore/religion of the world.

DP made the slugcats characters, the main focus, in some cases a rebelion against the lore/religion (forever beef against new route for Survivor and Monk). So people had an easier time latching onto them.

That is my theory at least. Fact is also when I first watched RW I almost didn't get into it as a creator because I felt like I had nowhere to hook to and work with. Characters are great anchor points for people to latch on to and then work with/through, so it's not like I blame the fandom for quite literally getting slug infested. It's natural and logical and I'm well aware of it as someone who's trying to be a writer. Still frustrating.

Either way, at least there's a vacuum for me to fill with something I'm actively actually passionate about. It's kind of a sweet bonus that people are somewhat interested, too.

sometimes i think some people in this fandom believe they own the characters they like, and this turns fandom experience into such a toxic and unhealthy one. caring and worrying about a character is very different than disliking anything it's done to them because it doesn't please you and your idea of their personality and who they should associate with.

this begs the question as well, how much is this about Agatha and how much this is actually about just petty hatred/dislike towards Wanda and canon discourse towards Rio? because, in the dawn of Agatha All Along's release, she's been the least one talked of in comparison to her witch mates in some corners of this fandom.

[author's note: it's just so funny to see some clearly biased complaints about recent events in the mcu and the comics, such as Agatha's deaging in the recent runs of the comics. it's obvious that she's been deaged, and it's very ill-intentioned to bissfully ignore the exact time period that her character was first de-aged and redesigned: after Wandavision and Kathryn's Agatha. i thought this was obvious, but since it evidently isn't, Kathryn's Agatha isn't Hagatha. it makes much more sense to match a character that has always been secondary and related to others, without well-defined appearance, and with the ability to age herself down, to its more popular mcu counterpart. also, why complain about a character that hasn't even been released yet, that we don't know a single official thing about, not being inserted in the comics? when said character is rumoured to be a genderbent version of an already existing character i.e Emerald Warlock? so now everything is bad because a single character that never even existed until a few months ago isn't inserted in everything that pertains Agatha's storyline and Agatha's only? are you even listening to yourselves? how come Agatha allegedly being ever-tied to Wanda is such an awful issue, but suddenly her being tied to Rio isn't? are the double standards in the room with us right now? these are just a few issues and complaints i have, and i feel it's high time they were voiced]

the FACT that jace is “normal” is what makes him weird to me. why arent you weird. you should be weird. one of the most unvalyrian looking targs born out of wedlock and instead of developing a Complex about it he just shrugs and says “i have a dragon”. his biological father dies under mysterious circumstances. his legal father is killed under mysterious circumstances. THEN his mother marries his granduncle who may or may not have been involved in both of his fathers deaths. still doesnt act out about it. is still mommys #1 boy.

literally what is going on inside his head. what kind of mental gymnastics is he preforming.

currently thinking about when you let kim know you found out about the pale while he was gone, and that if you tell him its terrifying hes like "so trying to spare you from it was a good idea", or that if you tell him its unreal he says how a lot of things are unreal, or that if you ask him where you are he says they are in elysium, but that all of them involve him comparing the pale to water, death, and "the fact we are all stuck behind our eyes, between our ears, talking for all eternity, like every other human being". and then saying heavy topics are not his forte and acting as if he never said that. you cant just say "heavy topics are not my forte" after dropping that. both the caring and trying to protect harry, and that water, death, and having a mind is terrifying/unreal/just how the world is...
