It’s literally the most heartwarming thing to hear someone got inspired by my designs!!! I’m so glad!! Tysm!

What inspired you to start this story?

I had been discouraged from doing art for a while. I just. Guess I didn't have that inspiration? After I ended up losing JustACuriousLycanroc, I slowed down my art making for mainly just ArtFight or little projects.

I had been a bit unfocused on Rain World for a long time, until about 4 or 5 months ago, when I came across a few fun designs of Anthro Slugcats! A lot of them. I don't remember which specific ones got my fancy, but then I started looking at everything in a different light, I guess. Really got into Rain World!

And I had a bit of an idea already, for a long time, about how other creatures experience Rain World, what they see, how they feel, how they act. Slugcats couldn't be the ONLY aware ones, could they? Or maybe they were, or maybe... there's a different answer.

This comic follows that "Different answer," sorta. I found myself asking questions about the lore that I thought would never be answered, and that I could just make up answers for.

It was like a cascade of realization, that I had set up a long time ago. The desire to do art, the slight interest in Rain World, lore and ideas, the final straw was just realizing that I could draw anthro-style Rain World and NOT feel ashamed or alone in it? Because once I started reblogging all those designs Tumblr fed me a LOT MORE--

It felt comforting, and that gave me the confidence to just. Channel energy into my idea.

So, uh. Thanks to @lonerlikeswaffles and @a-rabid-snake. Guess those designs really... inspired me to do my own stuff!

Rivulet Anthro AU Info Sheet

With The Watcher coming out, my interest in Rainworld was revitalized; so I decided to maybe share some of the details of all of the Anthro designs I came up with but never really got to write down. If my motivation continues, there should things like this for each character, but I started off with Rivulet cause they’re pretty fun to draw (Excuse the horrible formatting)

Rivulet’s Personality / General facts below the cut!

Rivulet spends majority of their time being either aloof or hyperactive, although it’s mostly the latter. Their 5 yard stare makes it easy to assume they’re not paying attention or are daydreaming, but I like to think they’re actually very observant, and that like their physical speed, they process things a lot faster than their peers, the world just moves slower to them. They’re actually very intelligent when they choose to be, just most of the time prefer the chaotic energy of not really thinking before doing things. They use the bands on their arms and legs to encourage themselves to balance, since these bands are weighted, it means they’re effectively nerfing themselves in order to improve.

Rivulet’s Relationships with other characters

SpearMaster

SpearMaster and Rivulet are pretty close, since Riv makes a good listener, SM and Riv enjoy having insightful conversations about each others issues or opinions. Rivulet often shows their more intelligent and reasonable side when pairing alone with SM, and it helps get things off of his chest since he knows Hunter is sick.

Gourmand

Gourmand and Rivulet are in a relationship, so they’re naturally really close. Rivulet loves helping Gourmand with whatever task Gourmand has in mind, since Rivulet just loves helping her. Rivulet mostly helps with cooking, delivering Gourmand any ingredient they request in a (mostly) reasonable time frame. Rivulet usually hyper focuses on Gourmand whenever they’re together, admiring her, and taking up majority of Rivulet’s attention. When Rivulet and Gourmand aren’t doing chores, it’s usually spent chilling, or with Gourmand trying to convince Rivulet out of a totally not stupid and dangerous idea.

Artificer

Artificer and Rivulet are a chaotic duo, both well versed in combat, and receptive to having fun in the most dangerous ways possible. Rivulet’s hyperactivity gets put on hyperdrive whenever they’re with Arti, and they spend their time together doing ridiculous things like getting drunk, high, blowing things up, riding lizards, ect. They’re homies basically.

Saint

Rivulet and Saint are less close, but Saint knows Rivulet is fairly insightful, so occasionally, they just hang out and talk about stuff. Nothing too complicated though. They’re also good at working together when it comes to problem solving, since they’re both pretty resourceful.

Monk / Survivor

Rivulet sometimes babysits Survivor and Monk, usually occupying their time teaching them cool tricks or telling them about the places they traveled. Or just, chilling.

Inv / Enot

Rivulet treats Inv as kind of a younger sibling, playfully bullying them, and dragging them along on their adventures. Usually getting Inv into trouble, that Riv (Mostly) saves them from.

Hunter

Hunter and Rivulet aren’t close, but they’re friends. Rivulet interacts with Hunter mostly indirectly, like delivering ingredients for his medicine. But occasionally Riv will act directly, helping Hunter get things; Riv limits contact since they fear they might bother him.

That’s about it atm. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I’m not the best at answering stuff on time but, I’ll try !

Gourmand redesign because the old one sucked bawls

And she has a pouch now, very cool!! Much wow; I tried to fix the issue that was present before of her appearing “Skinny”, not sure if I pulled it off completely but, hopefully it’s fine

[lonerlikeswaffles]

Dont usually reblog but headcanoning the headcanon; when I first saw this before the explanation I initially assumed Loop learned origami in their free time while they were stuck in their thousands of loops, so Siffrin basically asking how to do the only thing that helped them cope during their hellish cycles offended them /silly

posting human loop for first(?) time...wowie. top part is based on a hc i have (explained under the cut:3) if you want more human loop btw i have. a shit ton of old sketches im sitting on but have been a bit nervous to post...

(taken straight from my long ass hc list in my notes app) in turn i hc that loop doesnt carve...

[lonerlikeswaffles]

Puntable little creatures!! I’m gona make like 50 headcanons for all of them and shove them in my pocket

BONNIE REVEAL!!! YEAHH!!

Basically Riv’s Bonnie design is my personal Riv design but aged down to Bonnie’s age! Still deciding on finer details like their favorite foods, and stuff like that, if I mention anything else I might spoil someone!!

Also someone guessed it already but yeah SOS is the Head House Maiden lol

Heavy spoilers below!! Specifically in Act 3

If you recognize this scene then I’m sorry for you bro 🙏 I do not support King’s rights or wrongs I hate that mf

This was the first Bonnie design before I actually decided to make something more passable

Why is my sushi talking to me

[lonerlikeswaffles]

Expression practice!! Have Riv being pissed! Greyscale to color process is one of my favorites for sure

[lonerlikeswaffles]

Hehe I lie I added Nightcat to anthro design series ehehehe

In my AU Nightcat is basically omniscient. He was there from the beginning and he will be there at the end. In my AU, Nightcat’s tail was the one to light the flames you find in The Depths, which is why they’re still lit. Hope you guys like em, cheers! (Edited to make the images bigger, I think it worked?)

[lonerlikeswaffles]

Any ideas for Rainworld character interactions?? I plan on making more of these lil doodles! Feel free to use asks, replies or reblogs to answer!! I do read them!! I just have a bit of trouble respondin at times!!

Riv listening to Moon!! Having someone to talk and vent to is rad
