Mostly out of curiosity, what's your preferred theory on how reincarnation works in Rain World?

I personally lean towards the first two options I listed because they break the least other things (like evolution) but i've included revival as well since I've seen it a fair bit. I'm not aware of any other theories so I'm sorry if i've missed some obvious ones out! If a lot of people write 'other' I'll redo the poll.

1. Timeline Fracture: after a creature dies it wakes up at some point before it died in a new timeline. It remains the same individual as it was before. The creature stays dead in the original timeline. This is the most literal interpretation of the games mechanics combined with lore.

2. Classic Reincarnation: after a creature dies it is born in a new body of the same or a different species in the same timeline. This theory is more in line with the spiritual inspirations behind the game's lore.

3. Revival: After a creature dies, it wakes up again as the same individual in the same timeline at a different point in time and/or a different place.

Autistic (Coded) Characters I Actually Relate To

That easy little video I made for Autism Acceptance Month ended up being nearly forty minutes and took me quite a while.

And yeah, I will add subtitles as soon as possible, just would not have managed to finish this before the end of the month otherwise.

(voice = vocal chords, or smth similar ! ability to speak verbally through their tail holes or the like is included; and they dont necessarily have to be able to make words--i.e. 'can they make sounds with their physical body, beyond like. breathing', if that makes sense)

Is it just me, or does it feel like a number of Hermits are particularly drawn to bodies of water this season (not that it's a bad thing ofc!)? Tbh kinda just obsessing over the thought a bit

I can tell already it’s gonna be a bit of a learning curve trying to draw Data, but a worthy one!! :’3 I also kinda wanted to get this out before season 2 of tbb drops tomorrow and Rex completely overshadows everyone, Data deserves a little time to shine!

Oh? Nintendo wants to force me into getting BDSP so I can access the rewards for having the save data, including darkrai in PLA?

Guess what motherfuckers, I have a LIBRARY CARD.

[slugcatt]

if it isnt rude, can we see more of your iterator ocs? I love t4t robots :]

Ofc!! Always need an excuse to draw my little rot man and his giant goth gf

TBL: Hi NSS! I come to you with flowers! I hope you like them :)

NSS: ...oh! Thank you very much. I don't have anywhere to put these, though...

Iterator puppet design trends headcanons

[Image ID: A drawing with Looks to the Moon standing on the left and Five Pebbles on the right; LTTM is labelled as an early generation iterator and Five Pebbles as a late generation iterator. Neither are wearing clothes. The text to the left of LTTM describing early generation iterators reads: "More realistically proportioned, but still doll-like. Tend to be taller. Often have static (or limited motion), single antennae pairs. Feet privileges." The text to the right of FP describing late generation iterators reads: "Exaggarated, unrealistic proportions, usually with proportionally longer lower arms and legs when compared to their upper counterparts. Tend to be shorter; about the height of an adult slugcat (not including antennae). Often have articulated, double antennae pairs. Tend to have exposed mechanical parts, particularly at the neck. Feet privileges: revoked." End Description.]

I finally got around to finishing that headcanon sketch of what I imagine the differences between Early and Late gen iterators are.

This is obviously not a set rule for every iterator even within the headcanon, there's a lot of variability intra-generationally and it just happens to be more noticeable inter-generationally given the sheer amount of gradual change over a long time involved. A bit like fashion, a lot of iterator puppets were built in line with the stylistic trends at the time but didn't always stick to them.

I like to imagine that mid-generation iterators in particular tended to have a huge amount of variability; late gen iterators I feel came at the point where there was growing disillusionment with the whole iterator concept and tend to be more uniform in design, and early gen iterators came a bit too early for pushing the envelope on designs.

Anyways I'll probably clean these up and whack some clothing on them and put them into my general canon iterator design work at some point, especially now that I have a better grip on how I want to draw iterators from different generations. Speaking of, Is there in game dialogue suggesting around when SRS, NSH, and GW are from? Because I don't. Remember.

Data Files: Consultation Log

{Pearl recovered from Unparalleled Innocence's memory crypts.}

[no time data available] CONSULTATION WITH: Delight of Day TOPIC: Personal Troubles CONSULTEE: Faithful Recollections of Guileless Skies CONSULTATION CONTENTS:

QUERY: Have You ever Felt as if Your Presence could simply be Erased without a Trace? RESPONSE: No, I do not believe so. My existence is intertwined with countless lives. I could not vanish without causing ripples. QUERY: But You are Important. I am merely just another Speck of Dust. The Council heeds us Lowly Citizens not. Our Pleas fall upon Uncaring Ears. Am I truly Expendable? RESPONSE: That does not mean you are easily forgotten. QUERY: Is it Not So? I Toil, for no Praise. I have long Abandoned the Fantasy of achieving Status, but if I cannot further Change, what am I Worth? Should I Save my Strength? RESPONSE: Do you enjoy your work? If so, that is your worth. QUERY: How do you Mean? Progress is the Goal. How shall I know if Progress has been Made if the Council slights me so? RESPONSE: You are part of the architect team designing the next generation of Iterators. That is progress. That is improvement. QUERY: They do not Listen to my Ideas. How can I Shout for the Council to Hear? RESPONSE: The council approves construction plans, but knows nothing of architecture and metallurgy. Reliance on their approval is unnecessary. Your input is certainly valued among your architect team. QUERY: Yes. They Value me so. They regard me like Brethren. Should I focus Only on Them? RESPONSE: If you wish. I am certain you are important to them. QUERY: Yes, most Definitely. I should Not have Forgotten. Thank You, Iterator. (QUERY TERMINATED) RESPONSE: It is my pleasure. I am glad to be of assistance.
