still ironing this one out

previous <- page 25 -> next

(the pages are quite long and tumblr likes to compress the quality- i would recommend and encourage reading on comicfury to avoid this!)

25 pages! technically a milestone :'D

hello hello.. here's the complete reference for hifsamotud. the space thang! the supership! some more information below the cut

HIFSAMOTUD stands for Hollow Intercession, Falling Space, All Mundane Order Towards Unawakened Discovery (or simply Discovery for short, to refer to it as a whole) which is by all means.... a ridiculously long name! every couple words is meant to represent each of its minds.

originally, it was restricted to travelling a specific distance away from the planet - a taboo that it managed to break, along with rewriting its genomes in such a way that expanded its range of communication. it functions like a massive satellite for iterators on ground, allowing them to send signals to other iterators who would usually be out of their radius.

discovery is unfortunately not as large as a moon, but it's very fun to depict it as a gargantuan, otherworldly being that i think it would be perceived as :) in reality it is just very very curious about everything down below..

HELLO CHAT here is ANOTHER iterator oc reference. he needed it. he really did. i have never made a reference for my favourite guy ever

this is Smitten by Swords, Burden of Silence, originally a medical facility and a past member of HIFSAMOTUD's discoverist group who is best known for having the most effective cure to the rot around.. not without distributing it for a price, of course! as compensation for the depletion of resources (and for his own gain) SBSBOS steals pieces from iterators he helps with the rot - all under the guise that it's simply part of the process! he's a thief.. a scavenger, you could say

i'd suggest visiting his toyhouse as it's got everything about him :)

SBSBOS also has a secondary puppet that he uses to explore outside of his superstructure and to visit other iterators (usually his "patients") while his actual puppet stays dormant in his chamber. his outdoor puppet is very resilient!! and very big!! and hes very cool and i think all of you should look at him right now.

i woke up to a massive fucking SURGE of notifs on my dash, hello funky space iterator enjoyers

i come bearing LORE!!! (very long read i'm sorry i wanted to rant)

so this guys full name is Hollow Intercession, Falling Space, All Mundane Order Towards Unawakened Discovery/HIFSAMOTUD (or just Discovery).

the astronomically (pun intended) long name is to celebrate their successful launch!! there were at least fourteen other failures before them

component-wise:

roughly ten times the size of a regular iterator (still deciding on the scale!)

solar-powered

four sets of wings (for moving in zero g)

vacuums to suck out biological waste and prevent slag buildup

massive communication arrays

overseers are used to photograph

personality wise they're actually extremely goofy, really outgoing and concerningly likeable. like they are so fucking silly. could definitely make any iterator laugh. cannot be serious for the life of them

purpose wise, they still worked on the great problem but were also tasked with researching space eg. taking pictures, sampling matter, naming planets.

(think big satellite or massive james webb telescope except the ancient version)

and STORY WISE

HIFSAMOTUD worked on their given tasks for a very short time after taking one look at the earth and going 'why the fuck do i have to be stationary and work on the great problem when you have all of them'

after MULTIPLE reminders HIFSAMOTUD just goes 'lmao no you gave me wings', breaks out of orbit and flies thousands of kilometres into space until the ancients completely lost connection with them. because of this, their model is discontinued in fear of this situation ever happening again <3

long after the ancients have all ascended HIFSAMOTUD floats their way back and makes a distress signal in hopes of contacting someone again - to their shock getting the attention of hundreds of iterators, all in different situations but being broken down by time.

HIFSAMOTUD, being in deep space where there is no oxygen for erosion, gets very concerned for their ground iterator friends.

they were already a massive communication system from the start, but they go off to rewrite some of their genomes so they can reprogram themselves. (and it goes surprisingly well! probably because they don't have resources to share with anyone and they told all their friends to shut the fuck up and leave them to focus)

they reprogram their coms to be a full global system for the iterators (invented discord) and use it to reconnect with older iterators and as a system where all the other iterators can communicate with each other. sorta like a server host!!

they also made a database for the iterators (registration) so they know who has been contacted and/or uses their system.

this is when the group of 'discoverists' form!! these are iterators who HIFSAMOTUD has registered on their database (in this au fp and lttm are discoverists!) discoverists are all anonymous and are given new aliases by HIFSAMOTUD - this can either be based on a role, or HIFSAMOTUD names them something space related based on their name or puppet colour, eg. OPERATOR, LIFEGIVER (roles) MOONLIGHT, NEBULA (colours) etc etc

these guys either don't work on the great problem, are massive space nerds, crave social interaction, are just here to fuck around or all of the above :)

Highway 7

The highway that once belonged to the ancients has now merged into the wilderness. Be careful, there are dangers everywhere.

I'm never gonna learn my lesson about utilizing tiles better or condensing maps, it seems 🤦

[dragonslayer089]

Made these about a month ago, figured other spoonies might want to use them

Iterator drawings? Tis a miracle

Anyway i doodled this out after a sudden bit of motivation came my way
