Pardon me but, i see you haven't finished the rest of the iterators for you au. I'm sorry if you felt pressured into drawing them. May i ask if you're perhaps redesigning Sliver? or any of the main cast? She looks pretty but you seemed burnt out after making it.

Thank you for asking, and yes! i am. i haven't given up at all and my burn out lasted months. I was just testing to see what style i liked the most, there is no harm in experimenting. The reason it's taken so long is because i've learned my lesson on not making them too human. I get it, they're suppose to be machines not the closest thing to a human being so the style has been downgraded to be more cartoonish but still appealing. I'll be dropping little experimental drawings to see how the feedback went after pride month is over. Or maybe earlier if im feeling like it.

Tell me how the entire cookie run kingdom subreddit gaslit me into thinking i was the problem for having skill issues struggling to earn a stupid fucking cookie on a gacha game. Im currently in the city with my partner looking for pride month stuff to wear. And here i was ready to add this fandom to my list of things i am able to draw since i've been playing for nearly half a year... How are you going to toss colorful cookies in my face, lure me in with false user friendly gameplay an then expect me to waste my life away grinding just to be disappointed that you can't have the character because you to use microtransactions for a play to win game or you just suck ass at gambling and your luck is trash....

[moonpoolcat]

I have some plans in mind, dropping this here as well. 1 . I have a height chart im fixated on. It'll clear up their size differences and i won't have to repeat myself. 2. Scavenger practice. I want to work on drawing scavs better so i might post random stuff with them. (Pay attention to this it will be important later) 3. I will be gone next month because pride month with my partner. The city is hosting a parade despite our president trying to ban it my state does not care. 4. I have a pilot comic in the works. Both the povs from slugcats and iterators. I have a friend with me who is going to help me with storyboarding. Im really excited to show it to you all!

So in your AU. Is the titular "rain world" a planet like earth? Or is it something that would require a bit more explanation.

Rainworld does not describe the planet. The name is just a metaphor as there is no canon name for the planet we explore in game. I blame the devs for not giving us a name. Is it like earth? In my AU yes just bigger and if i had to snag a comparison i'd say about half the size of saturn. Increased oxygen, lighter atmosphere, an giant fauna an flora that will sometimes be exaggerated. For reference you can take James Cameron's Avatar as i took inspiration from it. The regions can be their own countries if they wanted to an the iterators superstructures are twice the size of normal ones, for them it is not recommended to switch locations unless they have the resources and it depends on perfect timing at the risk of causing ecological damage to the surrounding areas.

I may have tongue twisted this so my fault if this didn't make any sense.

So. Ive been gone for a while. Wtf was i doing anyway?I for some reason can't grasp my situation that any time I try to take in any living thing into my home they end up dying.

I tried an failed to raise cattipilars. Something i remember how to do an take a break asay from the dramas of the internet. Should have been easy' right? wrong. Day by day each one kept dying after the other. I didn't understand what I was doing wrong? As if I'm destined to reminded of how much of a failure I've become.

I feel like the harbinger of death. It doesn't matter what i do or how much research, money, and effort goes into caring for any creature they just die for no reason or by forces beyond my control. I struggle to understand why i fail to keep anything alive. This entire month has ruined me and my only effort to stay happy was drawing.

No I don't feel okay. I feel miserable an depressed an grief is not something I handle well. I should get over it but I can't. Obviously I am flawed.

Hey now that the Watcher is out will this affect your au now? Any changes?

Nope. The watchers campaign will only add even more plot to keep the au going. The only changes is probably Saint and Monk. The others? Not sure. Off topic cause i want to get this out- I LOVE the rot prince, so he will be making a huge appearance later on. No i haven't played the dlc yet cause right now i'm a broke waffle cone an playthroughs are all i got so for now i'm rewriting lore. I might draw Watcher just for the hype that's going on right now?

[moonpoolcat]

Is your username a warriorcats reference?

Yep, don't know what i was doing but i've stuck with the name since then. Now that you mention that I do need to catch up on the books i'm way behind.

[moonpoolcat]

How are ya feeling?

I'm doing great! Took some time off the internet. Did a little bit of exploring out in the woods this week. Hoping to visit the beach this year again.

Your iterators have siblings? how does that even work?

It's not that hard ABC <------pretend these three letters are iterators, when one of them is created they normally have an iterator older or younger then them with the same or similar design of blueprints as the other. This makes them related by default and it doesn't really repeat after that.

Now if you're generation one then you only have one sibling or none because being related wasn't really a thing for them back then. Nor did they know it was possible at all? However if you're a previous generation made with blueprints of an older iterator of the same model then yes they're also related becoming cousins. Older models prefer to see them as children then siblings as it's more appropriate. I know this seems very odd an strange to think these machines have relatives but it is convenient for the plot and a better excuse to why Moon adopted Pebbles as her brother even though their blueprints are not at all the same. Hope this helps :)

And here is your part 3 Watcher: Where tf was Watcher during this? Oh he was actually with UI the entire time. Never left during all events. After said canon events he joins Arti, Monk, Survivor, and Riv choosing to leave with them along with Hunter to find Gourmaud. For what purpose? Nothing, simply for entertainment for his lovely fans streaming with a single pearl he cherishes so much. It was not what he originally planned going on this major journey ditching his comfy scug pet life but he does learn that there is more beyond an interactive screen. However he had no idea his owner would be banished an exiled from the area leaving him with nothing to go home to? Saint: They knew exactly what they were doing killing Sliver of straw... they regret nothing. It was all their fault to why any of these events unfolded. An they have a better idea for this world then simply ascending everyone. Monk was not in their original plans but seeing the little scug on their way to enlightenment as they had so long ago brought new plans to light for the little scug. Besides- the body he was in wasn't a perfect vessel anyway :) All scugs including Arti have visited looks to the Moon accept for Saint. Hope this helps.

BIG question. i love your Monk design it's so adorable! but i can't help but wonder what happened to the others? where were they all during these events and if it isn't too much to ask can we get a scug timeline?

the slugcats go in order to how events played out after the cannon timelines. So get ready for a lore dump buddy :) Spearmaster- Originally had left with Artificer with their slugpups leaving their owners behind. However his attachement to the iterator caused the two to break apart. After the mission to Five Pebbles Spearmaster was found by Gourmaud an stuck around to heal before heading to looks to the Moon an back to deliver her final message but was deeply traumatized an questioned why his own creator sent him on this almost fatal mission? He then took Gourmaud to Arti to look for their missing clan members with no luck. With no other purpose being fully grown by this point he was allowed to wander an explore the world, and with this freedom chooses to leave, traveling with a female scug to settle down somewhere miles away in another iterators territory. He regularly visits SRS with his descendants once a month an still leaves when summoned. He was not present during the masquer. Gourmaud- After the storm that costs him to lose Monk an Survivor he travels alone to in search of the two scugs believing they were still alive. Gourmaud is present before looks to the Moons collapse. He finds a very injured Spearmaster helping him travel to Looks to Moon. They make the journey to deliver Moons final message just moments after the near collapse incident before traveling back into the Metropolis running into Arti. Gourmaud asks of her to look out for Monk an survivor an possibly bring them home if she ever sees them again giving up the search, taking the entire clan away from the iterators into the same location as Spearmaster when he settled. Hunter- His cancer was cured before he was even sent out with the slag keys to save Moon. A collar now stays on his neck allowing Hunter to reactivate the very cancer that caused him pain allowing the scug to turn into an unstable abomination whenever he wanted. (after events) Is deeply depressed from Spearmasters sudden departure even though they had gotten close since Spear departed from Arti (in other other words they divorced lol) He still has feelings for him an hasn't learned to let go. Discovering that Arti was planning on escorting scugs back to their clan knowing that where they where they were going joins them all hoping to run into Spearmaster one last time to get some closure. Hunter also participated in the Blood moon masquer. I have to break this up into chunks cause it was too long.

Part 2 (Her story is a little longer) Arti- She had left Five Pebbles long before events no longer wanting to live in captivity. After the death of her pups Arti returns to Five Pebbles rekindling with her exiled owner. However after killing the cheiftian her thirst for violence was still burning leading her to travel to Looks to the Moon as the senior had been completely repaired, at this time Moon has descended into wrath knowing the betrayal of her local group an the two have a complete understanding of each other knowing neither of them will ever achieve ascension thus dooming themselves to eternity on the planet. Moon grants Arti access to her city ordering the scug to eradicate the scavs living there before they had a chance to overpopulate as her only request. (After events) With vengeance finally quenched Arti realized that there was nothing left to do? Her world was now endless discovering scavs lived on just about every inch of the. The planet there was no way she was going to eradicate all of them. In present time Artificer currently rules over the scavs on top of five Pebbles, with the chieftian gone she takes his place. If you can't beat them- join them! Her goal now is to get out of wrath an ascend. Both Spearmaster an Gourmaud visited her during this time. Of course she confronted the idiot who left her to raise their children and was not there to protect them. However seeing the damage she had caused to the scavs she is stuck to raise the chieftains son an many others whom she had heartlessly orphaned as a consequence. During the timeline she encounters both Monk an Survivor agrreing to take them both back to Gourmaud, she is distraught to learn Survivor was on her way to becoming another victim of wrath so in her own way wanting to prevent even more bloodshed openly adopts Survivor in while on the way back to Five Pebbles. During the blood moon masequer Arti was present fighting alongside Five Pebbles and Hunter. Rivulet: Rivulet is too young during this time. {Teen} (pre moon collapse) They were sent out during Moons struggle to stay online. Plagued with short term memory loss gets sidetracked for several cycles from their objective to Moon while in Metropolis running into Survivor an Monk. (After events) Before everyone departs to go find Gourmaud. They do eventually remember what their purpose even was in the first place an travel back to the now incapacitated Moon who was offline for a long time an goes to retrieve her rarefaction core lodged in the ocean, not by memory of course but because Riv already knew where it was suppose to go? They choose to travel with the group of scugs to find Gourmaud but upon returning reunites with Moon yo stays with her permanently since they had no idea who their original owner was anway. They were not present in the masquer. It changes even more from here. Monk- Searching for his sister, he had no idea. They encounter Saint an stay with them a while to recover then set off to find survivor eventually finding each other again. As they reach Arti he begins his goal to help her get out of wrath an ascend. Survivor- Was held captive by Scavs after getting lost during the storm. Many years had gone by and she had grown resentful thinking that Gourmaud had abandoned her. With help from others she finally escapes. But with a heavy hatred for every scavenger she sees including Gourmaud. The good news is she finds her brother Monk but is pissed he came after her. The bad news? she is now leaning into the path of wrath, and uh- they went in the wrong direction heading to Five Pebbles concluding all events of running into Riv, arti an heading out with Hunter and Watcher.

Do tell us. What have you been doing all this time?

LOOK I CAN EXPLAIN! I rarely play roblox, i don't play it unless it's something i like, you're probably wondering what i'm doing on a kids app? I got nothing to do an in my drought of not being able to draw i endorsed into another fandom in order to get that motivation boost to draw. What Fandom? probably the most cursed one out of the bunch this year. Dandys world. NOW HOLD ON! before you jump to conclusions i want nothing to do with the rest of the fandom because of it's major issues and the "problematic drama" that is stressful an out of control. I mainly enjoy making ocs. I had a lot of time to think. An rework how i make my refs. All I can say are big changes are coming so expect the refs to- dramatically change suddenly so keep an eye on it. But Moonpool you can't do that an just hop into another fandom? yes I can ^w^ Rainworld can wait just a little bit till i feel like it. Not a crime to drift off every once in a while. As for the other stuff? No it won't be a full scale explanation of 2 aus I am working on, it'll be a ref, small summary an nothing more. :)

[moonpoolcat]

Just want to drop this here. I unfortunately had to quit my job, fast fast food is a toxic environment an has caused me to not draw at all and I apologies to you all for the absence. All this political nonsense has me on edge. Yes is sucks to live over here and I'm watching it all burn. We'll see what happens if my entire country doesn't implode on itself :)

[moonpoolcat]

Oh shit... it all makes sense now...

When you grow up in an abusive home, you don’t become a people pleaser to please people. You become a people pleaser to keep the potential for more abuse away.

[moonpoolcat]

I would like to write a follow up post. Uh wtf? so the app isn't banned. And everyone in my country just panicked for no reason just to find out this morning i can still access the app. I won't get into politics but both parties of higher power are complete idiots for doing this. instead of focusing on wild fire destroying California or solving homeless that is on the rise it was aimed towards the banning of a single app. AN APP!?! what kind of childish nonsense is this?! Bunch of old people arguing like babies because the youth have freedom of speech an are conversing with other countries. I mean tumblir does the same thing but still this was ridiculous. If I ever bother using tiktok for my stuff i'll let all of you know.

I just wanted to rant for today. Uh. I'm out of my burnout phase and i'll post some wip eventually. We are getting snowstorms and tumblir has been laggy for several days now.

Well dam bye tiktok. I never used the app till last year. It had some of my interest at heart but I wasn't chronically on the app like that, most was just nonsense I'd see on youtube shorts minutes later. If anyone still is able to access the app overseas feel free to spam tag me memes I'll watch it or possibly recreate it.
