Ever Endless Drumbeat

idk if you've ever played rhythm heaven on the DS but this guy (on the left) looks like he could absolutely be an iterator

(the mini game is DJ School for anyone wondering, the yellow ones name is DJ Yellow)

I’ve never played this game but you’re actually so right- that’s literally an iterator right there! :o I wonder what his iterator name could be..

Look at him, he’s scared of it. The evolutionary path of the humble scavenger could never have prepared them for the horror that is working in fast food.

Nothing much, just scavenger at a Mcdonalds (ID:7639)

Hello rot person thing, have you considered getting a rot partner and starting a rot family and living in a robot house in rotville and you enroll your rot children in rot school while you drive a rot car and work at rotcorp?

Y E S .

Y E S I H A V E*.

*Except for the marriage part**.

**We don’t really do… uh… “sex”, or anything like that***

***The children just grow from the sludge.

HEY.

PEOPLE.

Please, I beg of you, if you’re going to make a rot based au, come up with a better name then just “rot au”.

There’s like half a dozen different blogs already using “#rot au”, each for their own different things, not even accounting for the ones from other fandoms. Seriously, just plug it in to the search and start scrolling, you’ll see what I mean. I’ve come across three different ones on my for you page just today.

It’s like naming it “scavenger au” or something, it doesn’t really identify it. It establishes a major part of what’s going on in the story, but at least add another word to it.

[rot-underling]

Listen, it’s really hard to change their behavior like that. It’s really easy to do that conditioning and stuff to organic brains cuz it’s all in a big ol’ soup. Ya just sprinkle in some of that angry juice when ya want ‘em mad, and some of that dopamine happy juice when ya want ‘em happy.

But iterators are more akin to computers than organics. They’re real compartmentalized. And they keep it all under lock and key, with like ten thousand different eyes on their parts at all times. It’s hard to do anything without them noticing. To directly change their behavior, excluding regular emotional manipulation, there’s very little we can do without actual physical presence throughout the entire system. And at that point we’ve already won!

i hate the “pebbles’ rot is sentient and torturing against him” thing people do because it’s always done really abysmally.

it would be great if people did it in an actual psychological UNSETTLING way rather than, and I can only describe it like this, it feeling like someone who avidly and only plays copy and paste mascot “horror” games wrote/planned/drew the au.

I dunno, guess my point is that people are really tame with this particular trope and it always comes off as something written on creepypasta…

it’d also be interesting to see a “sentient” rot au working as extremely intrusive thoughts, obsessive thinking, cough cough Oh Cee Dee as a form of torture. what about that

[rot-underling]

What do you mean, “eat all this rot”?!

That’s our job!

We’re the ones that eat things!

Why does this keep happening?!

can we all stop arguing over misgendering srs. we have more pressing issues at the moment. like whos gonna eat all this rot thats been lying around

*mafia gangster style*

Those are some nice kids ya got there.

It’d be a shame if somethin’ were to happen to ‘em…

[rot-underling]

would you like a portrait of yourself?

Hehehehehehe

I mean sure, but I’ve already got at least two.

[rot-underling]

This. This is every time I have to play translator for rot and non-rot conversations.

Don’t even get me started on the wild rot nest and Underthrone sub-dialects. -_-

Add realism to your fantasy stories by having characters from different backgrounds struggle to pronounce each others' names.

"My name is [low guttural sound] but I don't want to hear you butcher it. So you may call me She Who Arises With The Cold Mountain Sun."

"...Is that what your name really means? All that in just one word?"

"Yes. If you stress the wrong syllable it comes out as 'She Who Coldly Wakes Up The Mountain Sun', or 'The Cold Woman Who Wakes The Mountain Sun', and you will not call me that."

"Oh, huh. Could we just call you Mountain Sun, for short?"

"Hmh. It's boastful, almost bordering on blasphemy, but it is flattering. I accept it."
