[ask-rain-world-characters]

Hello everyone, and welcome!

We are the denizens of the wonderous world we all know and love. And we have all gathered here to speak with you! Got anything you desire to say, ask, or send our way? Do it anytime you wish, and we shall respond - through our voices! - We are voice acting enthusiasts, some of whom, you may have already heard in some Rain World fan projects. You can send anything at a character - images, art, questions, ideas, videos, whatever you wish! And the character shall react - just like in any other askblog. But the difference is not just that we use voiceovers to answer (instead of art), but that the process is fully collaborative. As the VAs of the characters all have full creative control over what they say, instead of following the standard practice of one person writing/deciding everything.

Important things to note (please read before submitting):

Watcher spoilers are allowed, but will be tagged appropriately, mainly to account for the heavily delayed console release. (The creatures/characters of the DLC are also available to be played by VAs, though none of them have been taken yet. This post will be updated with spoiler tags if/when that happens)

When you send us something, make it abundantly clear which character you're addressing. You're allowed to address multiple, or even the entire cast.

NSFW submissions are not allowed. Mildly suggestive ones are fine, but they will not get a response, if the character you're addressing has a minor as its VA, or an adult that would be uncomfortable with it.

This project is fully non-canon. VAs are allowed to use headcanons and personal interpretations when answering. It's also not really meant to be serious, so feel free to send us silly stuff :3

You should only submit things for characters that actually have VAs, as you wouldn't be able to get a response otherwise.

List of available characters, that you can currently send stuff to:

Survivor - @oliverwritesnow

Monk - @isnt-a-blog-blog (Spooky ARK is currently taking a break from the role)

Hunter - @astur-x

Nightcat/Watcher - @areon103

Gourmand - @fadebolt

Artificer - @arti-draws

Rivulet - @daikonical

Spearmaster- @dysfunctionalcore

Saint - @planetnohpyrg

Inv/Enot - @isnt-a-blog-blog

Looks to the Moon - @mewguca

Five Pebbles - @cctv-catgirl

No Significant Harassment - ( @ifoundthishumerus was the old VA, but they decided to step back, so the role is free for taking)

Seven Red Suns - @meggolorbuggolor

Sliver of Straw - @spellboundjava

Unparalleled Innocence - @bigtimefreq

Gazing Stars - @torra-does-stuff

Other creatures: Squidcada, Lantern Mouse, Pole Plant, Yeek - @asdasdasdasd1840

Atlas (OC of @solarshaku) - @dysfunctionalcore

For images, refs and pieces of information regarding the OCs of our blog, you can check up on our Google Doc, which will be updated if we get new characters, or the VAs/owners want to change something.

The person primarily running this project and blog is me, @fadebolt. If you wish to voice act a character yourself, shoot me a DM, either here, or in Discord (my name is also 'fadebolt' there, and I'm in the main RW server, so finding me should be easy). There's absolutely no limit with the characters you could ask to VA. Slugcats, iterators, ancients, echoes, scavengers, any other species... they're all available! We also aren't limiting ourselves to just the base game. Characters from Downpour, characters from mods, OCs, and non-canon characters in general are also available (though if you're planning to VA a character owned by someone else, then make sure to consult them first). The other characters, whose VAs have also stepped back, are No Significant Harassment, Sliver of Straw and Gazing Stars. So we're looking for new folks to fill in those roles, too! Just... don't ask for characters who are already taken. Asking to be a backup is fine (in fact, backup VAs would be more than welcome), but we're not stripping anyone of their role, just because someone else asked for it as well. This post will be regularly updated, with the list of all the taken characters, and their VAs. Characters who are not on the list do not have VAs, and are fully open.

Submit your OCs, to be featured on the blog:

If you're looking for some elaboration on the OC thing, you can find it within this post.

((yap session/theory

((i think. personally. the main antagonist is gonna be A. asriel/ralsei twist villain B. sans + papyrus twist villain OR its gonna be like. a truth vs ideals/ two points kinda thing, where both sides have a point but you have to pick. i have reasons under cut but nobody is allowed to call me crazy

((i just feel like it being JUST gaster in the end would be sooo predictable and obvious, like. omgg guys scary shadow mystery man is bad . like what.

((currently going with the two points one as my main theory for several reasons. such as but not limited to 1. “who will miss him” (“him” is used to refer to asriel and gaster(?) in undertale, but ppl would obviously miss asriel, he’s a really popular and well liked guy in hometown. gaster however (a lot of assumptions here) seems to be a kinda shut in bunker in the woods type guy.) since we know “papyrus is busy” (and he is labeled as “forgettable” in the ut genocide description, plus a very accepting and forgiving guy) i would assume he is going to be the one looking for him - because he cares about everyone and sees good in everyone. sans isnt looking, however, making me think that gasters more of a morally gray character? and asriel/flowey seemed to have very a black and white moral compass (to me, which is debatable). leading me into my next idea/point

((asriel is using gasters soul as a save point to play videogames with kris. first of all everybody realizes ralsei is the only darkner who can travel between dark worlds with the gang. second is eye colors. we see several reoccurring patterns with colors and souls and eye colors, the main ones im reffering to are sans (cyan/patience + yellow/justice), IMAGE_FRIEND/spamton (magenta/perserverence + yellow/justice) (and jevil just has yellow eyes (justice)). i think (big leaps here) image_friend is papyrus, who has magenta/yellow eyes (in opposition to sans’ cyan/yellow). this would mean they have yellow in common, which i think is . gasters color. (along with indigo or purple maybe (magenta+cyan))

((also think its his color bc of the egg thing.*

((yellow is the save point color in undertale, but not deltarune. which wouldnt make sense, except cyan yellow and magenta can make either black or white depending on whether its print media (light world?) or digital media (dark worlds?). this could also be me connecting pieces that dont fit, so take with a grain of salt of course.

((*the egg thing is big for me but i could also be insane for it. first of all. hard boiled?? wont hatch but leaves due to happiness. i think that will be gasters good ending, however that plays out. on the other hand,

((have u guys ever heard of shocking a hard boiled egg in ice water before u peel it?? iceshock Is one of noelles attacks. i think the weird route/snowgrave will be the one where u fight gaster in the end. this is another reason i think gaster will either be good or morally gray - you have to be a total dick thru snowgrave to fight him. these last two points may be seperate from the main one, not sure.

((anyways this has been wdg mod throwing sketti at the wall. i may add onto this or scrap it entirely

[tellioari]

Brainstorming a potential mod that would focus on adding imaginary biomes, using our dye mod as a base!

The first concept, shown here, would be called the Bubblegum Tropics and would consist of two biomes: the Bubblegum Desert and the Bubblegum Marsh.

The bubblegum desert would be rolling dunes of bubblegum, with the occasional Chewiflowers (the white double tall flowers) and cyan weeds being spotted. Along with that, the Sugar Cactus could also be found here, growing grains of sugar on it's cyan surface. Occasional Bubble Vents can also be spotted blowing bubbles and adding particle effects to the biome.

The bubblegum marsh would be mainly the same on the surface, however the normal dunes of bubblegum would be interrupted every so often with chasms leading to a marshy, wet, mushroom-filled underground layer. You can find hanging gum here, as well as the glowing Gumfeeder Mushrooms and mycelium. When exposed to the hot sun's light, they will stop glowing and turn a vibrant pink.

At night and in dark overhangs, you will find the Gumwalker, a type of zombie variant. While walking slower than usual zombies, they will hit harder and apply the slowness effect for a short period of time.

What do you think? If you have any suggestions for more blocks/items, please let me know!!! I'd love to hear them :3

Satyr-day Nightclub [Transformation Story]

Intent eyes scanned the sea of bustling bodies in the neon glow of the dark city streets. Massive, over engineered buildings lined both sides with a black-to-grey gradient coloration due to years of acid rain. Pink, blue, and purple flashing lights danced overhead with advertisements, propaganda, and more advertisements. Dalton leaned against a concrete wall with his arms crossed. He didn't frequent this area of town. He had actually only ever been here once before, and it was that one time which made him come back today.

Dalton was 6’ 4” with the body of a jock, although he never played sports. He had short brown hair which he styled upward. On the side of his head, his hair was faded. His sharp appearance contrasted with his natural blue eyes which appeared cyan from the glow of his surroundings. His strong jaw didn’t appear diminished in any way by the thick stubble he sported. He wore a black shirt, a size too small to hug his muscles, as well as a pair of army cargo pants. To complete the army look, he wore dog tags, despite only serving in the army through the required training, Dalton loved the look it gave him. Who doesn’t love a man in uniform? At least, that’s what he was counting on.

Downtown Furtown, or at least that was what everyone called it due to the heavy population of half-humans and anthropomorphic furries living in the suburb. Thinking about it, Dalton didn't actually know what the real name of it was. Tendrove? Kendrove, maybe. He narrowed his eyes, refocusing on the task at hand. With his gaze slightly angled upward, he examined the heads of the animalized humans that crossed his path.

"No antlers, no antlers," Dalton said while bobbing his head from person to person, "antlers but not him, no antlers… Antlers-, aha!"

Across the street and entering a nightclub, Dalton watched the anthro deer he was looking for vanish through the doorway. Without wasting any time, Dalton began walking in the direction of the club.

Last week, Dalton was in Furtown needing to find an alternate route home after the hyper-rail broke down. He was in a rush and ran into a furry deer but might as well have been a brick wall. Dalton was knocked on his ass and the deer reached down and smiled, offering a hand to help him back to his feet. While Dalton didn't know his name, or anything about him for that matter, there was something about that encounter that made Dalton feel a certain way he had never felt before.

For the past week, he couldn't get the deer man out of his head. He thought about him every day. He was only hoping he would see him again in this part of town one week later, and it appeared that Lady Luck was on his side.

Dalton hastily maneuvered around groups of furries and humans alike, avoiding stepping on tails or running into someone who's had too much to drink. Before long, he was at the entrance of the nightclub and put his hands on the door, ready to push it open and find the guy that's been consuming his thoughts.

"Woah, woah, woah, bub, where do you think you're going?"

A large anthropomorphic bull with thick black fur, big horns, and muscles the size of mountains said, serving bouncer to the establishment, "Furs only, or can't you read?"

The bull motioned to the sign next to him that had bold red letter text on it that read , 'no humans allowed'. Taken aback by the sheer size of the bull and the blatant racism of the nightclub, Dalton took a moment to recompose before responding.

"But please," Dalton begged, "My job doesn't allow me to get mods and I won't even be in there for long I just need to talk to a guy that I-."

The bull grimaced and his eyebrows shifted. His arms were crossed and his muscles tensed beneath the dense pelt of bull hair that covered them. Despite the bull wearing sunglasses, Dalton could feel his piercing gaze staring directly at him.

"Unless you can show me part of you is animal, you ain't getting in," the bouncer said ending in a low growl.

Dalton's lack of self restraint got the best of him and persisted, "But body mods are expensive, please, it'll just be a few-."

A short line had started forming behind Dalton. A buff male wolf and a female leopard scoffed from behind him and shifted their weights, whispering to one another. Dalton could see the bull's nostrils flare as he finally moved from his crossed armed position and began cracking his massive knuckles.

"Scram," the bull seared.

"Alright, alright! Yeesh! You furs," Dalton said as he quickly stepped off, back into the bustling streets.

The dread of realizing he wasn't going to see that anthro deer he'd fallen in love with started to sink in. He could wait until he comes out, which could be hours, but at least he would get to see him again. He reasoned that was his best course of action and located the same spot he was leaning when he had spotted the deer earlier.

Dalton stopped dead in his tracks and his eyes went wide and his skin turned pale. He recalled that the deer had entered the club alone. And what it means when a guy is in a club alone... The deer was looking to hookup with someone.

His feet quickly changed direction as he walked down the street, now paying attention to the signs above him. 'CyberCafe', one read. 'Chip and Implant Repair', said another.

"No, no, no, no," Dalton said through gritted teeth with each building he passed.

He rounded the corner three blocks down from the nightclub and his eyes lit up at the sight. In big, bold, pure red text a marquee that read '24 Hour Discount Mod Center' in all caps glowed in the distance.

The place was located between a porn shop and a place that sold drugs, presumably not all legal, either. On the outside, lights behind the red panels of the sign flickered irregularly. A human man was in comatose on the grime stained sidewalk nearly feet away from the entrance. Another man with an alligator tail was digging through his pockets.

While it wasn't the ideal situation, Dalton was desperate. He had played the scenario in his mind hundreds of times of what he would say to the deer if he saw him again. Maybe it was the past two lonely years without anyone to hold at night, or maybe he was just erratic, but for whichever reason, with a sigh of concession, he increased his pace and entered the discount furry mod shop.

Inside was almost as grim as the out. Ceiling panels were popped off with loose wire dangling from them. Open boxes containing old medical equipment were strewn about, cockroaches and other insects had free reign over them. And between every tile the grout had turned completely black. Dalton didn't want to guess if it was dirt or mold.

He was only a few steps inside but his gut told him to get the hell out of there. He wanted to turn and reach for the door handle, but stopped before he could even start. His eyes caught sight of something that left him paralyzed in dumbfounded wonder. The mod-shops 'doctor'.

A humanoid canine stood on the opposite side of the dark room. He had grey hair, a grey beard, a dog nose and muzzle, and floppy dog ears to match. However, no part of him was covered in fur. He wore a white lab coat and black undershirt. He had thick framed glasses, also the color black clearly custom ordered to fit the bridge of his dog shaped face. But above all, the most noticeable characteristic was the two sets of arms that were crossed beneath his chest.

"What'll it be?" the dog doc asked.

Dalton glanced back at the door handle. He could still leave, it was still viable.

"Um, actually, I think I was just going to-," he stammered.

"Don't waste my time, just say what you want and I'll get it done," the doc said going back to typing on a computer at a standing desk.

The tech he was using looked state of the art. Hologram curved monitors flashed charts and chemical formulas but mirrored to Dalton's view as he could only see the backside. With his bottom two hands, the doctor typed, with his top two, one adjusted his glasses while the other pinched in on a data set that flashed on the monitor.

The sight of advanced technology eased Dalton's suspicion, but not enough to stick around. Dalton looked back at the door and reached for the handle but paused. His reflection showed mockingly in the glass. He observed his chiseled, square jaw. He looked at the convex and concave curvature of his natural muscles that he worked so hard for. His good looks were diminished by his cowardly stature. Hunched down, reaching for the door. He looked like a dog with its tail between his legs. He smirked. His gaze trailed from his reflection to the floor.

"Another two years lonely, Dalton?" he asked himself quietly enough for only himself to hear.

His footsteps were heavy and they slightly stuck to the floor with every step, but he slowly walked further inside the facility.

"Strip down and sit in that chair," the doc said pointing off to the side with one of his arms, not looking away from the monitor.

The chair was a typical chair that would be found at a dentist's office. It had teal and white padding. It stuck out from not matching the rest of the facility. There was clear evidence of use. Scratches and dents covered the sides, and there were a few darker spots stained into the padding. Possibly from blood or other bodily fluids. Dalton didn't want to think about where they came from.

He took a deep breath, took off his clothes, and sat in the chair. He should've been happy that he was one step closer to seeing the deer, but he couldn't bring himself to smile. His hands were shaking. He gripped the arm of the chair with one hand and he put his other on his chest, his heart was beating a million miles a minute. Being nude didn't concern him, but what did, was that he had no clue what kind of body mod he was getting and he was already this far committed.

The clicking noise from the keyboard a few yards away ceased and footsteps followed, "What'll it be?" the dog doc asked again, resuming the position with his arms crossed.

Dalton, once more, took a deep breath. For some reason, speaking felt harder than normal, "I'm looking for a furry, uh, body mod."

The doctor shifted his weight. Dalton couldn't tell if his gaze became more piercing, or if it had always been that way.

"Just a small one," Dalton corrected, "one that isn't noticeable, or at least, hardly noticeable."

The doctor's expression didn't change. He walked over in silence to a locked cabinet, opened it with a retina scanner, and observed the contents inside.

Dalton shifted in his chair, he continued, "maybe like cat foot pads... or a corgi tail, or a-,"

"You can't come in here expecting to be so picky," the doctor said, still perusing his goods, "discount mods are rejects from the higher ups, custom made for someone who decided not to go through with it. You'll take one that I got in stock, or you'll take nothing at all."

Dalton grimaced, "maybe, you could read off what you have?"

The doctor let out an extended sigh, "I got one that'll turn you into a fat black bear, one that'll give you talons and wings like an eagle, don't expect to fly though. A twink giraffe taur. A tiger with four arms... and two heads, two tails, and two dicks, wow someone went freaky with this one. Youch, expensive too.

"One that'll give you a pig nose and tusks," the doc continued, "One for a hyper muscular herm milk cow, huge tits, udders, vagina, and cock to match. It says here this one was only rejected because the client had a prior back injury," he kept moving the metal canisters, bringing them up to his gaze one at a time between his four arms, "You're in luck, I got an iridescent dragon tail. Changes color in the light, the rest of ya' will stay the same and it's only 600 RELL."

The visualization of transforming into each of the mods flashed vividly in Dalton's mind, each one somehow sounding worse than the last.

A dragon tail, how would he sit? Or yet alone put on pants? Dalton, sat up in his seat, putting his hands on the arm rests, scooting closer to the edge. He looked at his pile of clothes and then at the door. Neither were too far away to make a mad dash for an exit.

Dalton counted down from three in his head, three... two... one-,

"This one'll give you the cock of a horse," the doctor said, holding it as close to face before hitting his half-muzzle.

Dalton froze and looked over at the canine humanoid, "That's it? Just a-," Dalton gulped, "the dick of a horse?"

"Yeah, sure," the doc said, his voice getting higher during the drawn out words, "might give you a few other horse features, black toe nails, horse hair on the lower body, but the main 'feature' of this is the dick. Oh, and extra muscle."

Dalton, looked down at his own penis. Flaccid. Circumcised. He never had a problem with his manhood, but who wouldn't want a bigger dick? Or muscles? He started to get a half chub just thinking about it.

"And it's... subtle?" Dalton asked.

"As long as you don't get a stiffy!" the doc joked, but didn't show any additional emotion than his typical demeanor, "This is as subtle as it's going to get," the doc answered, "it even makes your cum taste like frosting."

He could feel his heart racing. Furry mods were irreversible. If he was going to do this, he really needed to be committed.

Dalton stammered to buy time, "H-how, much?"

He adjusted his glasses, "850 RELL."

"I'll do it," Dalton answered.

I am currently writing a Karl meeting fic based on this post and decided to place it during season 9 (because we as the audience were first introduced to him as her "friend" narrating a base tour). This is what I currently have"

Once a month, after a new season had settled in, X and a few other Hermits would drop by the Hub world for maintenance and shopping. It was eight months into season 9, and most Hermits were spending decent chunks of time off world at this point anyways, their adventure into being trapped on Empires notwithstanding. 

For Pearl, it was always a little overwhelming. Even Hermitcraft could feel crowded sometimes, though less so now that she had gotten to know the others more.( Turns out, surviving an apocalyptic moon crashing and moving to a new server together was a good bonding experience!) The group that had gone out today was her, X, Joe, and XB. Pearl kind of wished that a Hermit she was a bit closer to was here, if only so she would have a familiar person to follow around. Not that she didn’t like this group, just that she hadn’t had many opportunities to spend time with them.

She had only come along because, as a shapeshifter, her code was particularly susceptible to getting messed up by updates and X was insistent that she get regular checkups in case anything got corrupted. She had gotten that done relatively quickly, and had been silently following X around while he perused the various shops and stalls set up around the world, looking for something to make map making easier (She hadn’t really understood when he explained it, not her area of expertise). It made her feel a bit like a child shuffling behind their parent in the grocery store. 

However, as more and more people filled into the Hub, flitting off to check out mods or plugins or to open or close worlds, Pearl found herself lost in the crowd. It was a difficult feat, given that she was about 6 feet tall and her favorite form for this season included long fluffy cyan antennae that gave her an extra half a foot. Somehow, though, she had managed to get separated from the rest of the group. More than anything, she really wanted to be back at her base on Hermitcraft where she could terraform and place her plants and dig up the weird spores she kept finding all over the place. 

While she’s not paying attention to the ground, too focused on scanning the crowd for the sight of X’s helmet, her foot catches a dip in the pavement. Pearl only has a moment to consider how embarrassing it’s going to be to trip in front of dozens of strangers before she’s caught by someone. She looks up, expecting to see a familiar face, and is met instead by, if she’s being honest, a very handsome man.

hey what colour are your overseers?? also what lizard types live around your can?

I assume you meant to send this to my ask blog, but since the inbox is closed I'll answer here anyway.

Three Stars Above Clouds' overseers (and inspectors) are orange!

There isn't any orange in their puppet's design, but my logic for making them orange came from the fact that it (roughly) forms a triadic color scheme with the other two main colors of their puppet, green and dark blue.

I did this partially because orange is my favorite color, but also because Five Pebbles and Looks to the Moon also have similar color schemes with their puppets and overseers.

(Note: Moon's forehead sigil is commonly depicted as red, giving her a blue/red/yellow color scheme, but for my purposes here I'm referencing her in-game sprite)

Also I did end up throwing this design philosophy out the window when designing another iterator OC, Fleeting Green Sunsets, whose overseers are green.

In hindsight I probably should have given TSAC green overseers and FGS orange ones, especially given their broadcast text colors (Green and Orange respectively), but I wasn't thinking that far ahead. Also I've grown pretty attached to TSAC's orange overseers and inspectors, so much so that I've implemented it into the region mod I'm working on:

I also just like the color contrast.

As for the lizards, TSAC's can is located in a very cold mountain range, so I think the lizards in the surrounding area would be ones adapted to the frigid conditions. Thus they would likely have the same "tufts" or "fur" as those present in Saint's campaign:

Their can's exterior is frequented by yellow/orange lizards due to their affinity for communications equipment. Similar to Five Pebbles' exterior, there are also lots of cyan, blue, and white lizards, which thrive due to their ability to climb on walls.

The surrounding mountains would likely contain lizards more similar to those found in Saint's campaign, particularly strawberry lizards. Though, I imagine bulkier lizards like greens and caramels would also live there due to their extra body mass making them more resistant to the cold. (I know greens are extinct in Saint's campaign, don't @ me)

(Watcher spoilers)

The mountains would probably be home to blizzard lizards as well, for... obvious reasons.

Below TSAC's can is a frozen glacial lake, shrouded in darkness due to the can's shadow. There would likely be a high density of black/mole lizards and eel lizards, any maybe salamanders (though I know they are extinct in saint's campaign, they might not be as resistant to the cold).

Salamanders and eel lizards would be much more abundant in the reservoirs around TSAC's can, as well as within the underground water pump network.

So, very long story short: TSAC's surrounding area is home to basically all types of lizards, though they have special adaptations to the cold climate. Those located on the outskirts and underground wouldn't have to worry about the cold as much.

* If you have installed any mods in the game, installing the patch may cause compatibility issues. This could prevent you from launching the game or triggering error pop-ups during gameplay. We recommend uninstalling the installed mods and verifying the integrity of the game files before restarting the game

* If you encounter unusually large update sizes during patch installation, or if the game gets stuck, crashes, or fails to start after installation, please refer to the [Installation/Patch] on our official website.

* **All new items introduced in this patch will not be required for any game achievements.**

[negpos-comments]

so indie cross has been on my mind lately

i was gonna make a youtube video but i don't have quality equipment or quality screen recorder so I'm settling for the hellsite instead

so I wanted to analyze the Nightmare Modes of the characters, and that ended up with me creating this stupid script (that i slightly altered):

[Intro Removed]

Now, hold on. Reverse Nightmare Energy? What's that? I've watched both episodes of Indie Cross and played the original FNF mod and I've never seen that!

Well, Reverse Nightmare Energy (which I will shorten to RNME) only gets mentioned once, in Sans vs Bendy Part Three. When the little robot… thing… sees Sans and analyzes him, it says “REVERSE NIGHTMARE ENERGY”. That's it, that's the only time we see that phrase.

So, let's start from here.

I came up with my ideas a while ago, so anything from Indie Cross ep 2 I did not have. Working with what I got, I concluded that the weird red-black lightning thing is RNME. It has weird SPACE-TIME breaking powers, evidenced by the portals and in the Human vs NMM Sans fight, where damage done to the corridor persists through loads and where Sans is able to enter the human’s Save Screen and break the Save Star. This ability to break SpaceTime also means it can be used to make portals. It can be weaponized, since that robot tries to attack Sans with it. It gives major boosts to stats and gives the user various powers related to their world they wouldn't be able to do otherwise (sans using Undyne’s spears or Asriel’s stars being examples). Using too much or Having too much RNME causes the user to ‘overheat’, shattering the RNME form and sending them back to their world, as evidenced by Bendy’s form cracking and him being sent back to his world. It seems that when too much RNME is used, the color reverts back to the red its in in it's natural state instead of whatever color the user has (magenta for cup, cyan for sans, yellow for Bendy), also evidenced by that Bendy scene, which seems to indicate whenever there's too much RNME at play. 

Whoo. That's a lot.

There's another thing I listed, but I think that can be ignored. Based on the NMM Cuphead vs Devil fight it seemed like RNME might have some sort of connection to the FNF Corruption mod, but it seems that isn't the case, especially since Indie Cross is no longer related to FNF.

Based on this, I theorized that there's some sort of other dimension full of RNME. Whenever someone is infused with RNME, they are able to draw power from that other dimension, with the RNME infused in them being a sort of conduit. However, drawing too much RNME will overwhelm the conduit, causing it to shatter and send the user back home.

Alright. What else do we have?

When Episode 2 released, I went back and watched some other videos, specifically regarding Cuphead. Here's what's new.

Cuphead loses the RNME after a weak encounter with Tricky. This seems to me that it can just wear out over time. After that, Cuphead seems to be unaware as to where he is, meaning it's possible he lost his memories of his NMM form, which would explain why he doesn't say anything in episode two when Charlotte says it's the only one that can freely use RNME. Another interesting thing I noticed: Cuphead in both episodes speaks of Mugman as if he’s alive, but it seems like this Cuphead is the same one from Cuphead v Choo Choo Charles, which implies he’s the same one from Cuphead v Tricky and NMM!Cuphead v Devil, in which Mugman dies. So, there’s something to take note of.

SPEAKING OF EPISODE 2, Charlotte infodumps a lot about RNME. Here's everything. 

The portals are a result of a colossal multiversal calamity. They're a power source, but also a tool if used correctly. If a portal fails to form near an anomaly, it could cause their abilities to realize any doable feat from their respective realm. The occurrence and destinations of a portal is always random. The only way to be certain of your destination is to directly consume its power, which is usually impossible for one to control. One must meet certain requirements to freely use it. 

Now, here's a reminder that Charlotte intends to deceive the protagonists into their own deaths, so take all this with a grain of salt. It may be possible that Charlotte is lying or doesn't know the whole truth.

So where does this leave us?

Here's what I think.

This multiversal calamity spewed out RNME throughout, well, the multiverse. When a strong amount of RNME coalesces near an anomaly, it forms a portal for the anomaly to go through. If it fails to properly form, we get the NMM forms. 

It's possible that going back to normal means u lose your memories of your NMM forms, though this might not be the case. We don't get enough dialogue out of Afton after he loses his RNME and ANY dialogue from Bendy, and we don't see sans revert back to normal either. 

It's possible that if an anomaly is in severe emotional distress (Cuphead losing Mugman in NMM Cuphead v Devil), it causes some sort of alternate personality to take over. This could explain why Cuphead acts so differently in NMM form and loses his memories afterwards, yet Sans and Afton act the same (not sever emotional distress)

When Sans and Cuphead gained their NMM forms, it happened in some sort of magic circle, with five “bolts” of RNME surrounding them. This doesn't seem to be necessary, as neither Afton nor Bendy had that. This may mean some outside force (the one Sans talks to) is able to control RNME to some extent, and intentionally infused Cuphead and Sans with the RNME, without and with their consent respectively. In Episode 2, Game Master is restored in a similar fashion with five bolts of RNME surrounding it, creating a circle, which has some implications. Are the rogues the ones that infused Sans and Cuphead with the RNME? I don’t think so. Maybe the five-bolt-magic-circle thing is the easiest or most effective way to do it? Is the one that helped Sans also the one that affected Cuphead? It’s hard to know for now.

We also get a confirmation on how it allows the user to use any ability from their world. (although I must also add it allows the user to shoot LASER BEAMS FROM THEIR EYES, evidenced by Sans, Bendy, and Afton)

We get a DEconfirmation on it returning u to ur original world upon the loss of your NMM form, since Cuphead didn't return to his in Cuphead vs Tricky. This could mean we see Bendy in some random universe in the future, tho I wouldn't bet on it.

In the Afton fight, I believe the RNME does go from purple to a fuscia, though that may be a trick of the light. Since Cuphead and Afton both have colors close to red, using them to prove or disprove RNME reverting to red after overuse is kinda… meh.

I'm not sure where RNME comes from. It probably isn't another dimension, considering we get that line about multiversal calamity, but what does that entail? What kind of calamity creates RNME, or does it even CREATE it, or does it just unleash it into the multiverse from some other source (like another dimension or some other alternative)?

Fuckin around in watcher (with the point and drag mod) and uh

-HUGE SPOILERS N' SPECULATION PAST THIS POINT HERE!!!-

---RAIN WORLD THE WATCHER SPOILERS AHEAD---

Who is the prince and why is NOONE talking about him??? I've seen NO discussion even when I've gone LOOKING for it.

The giant cyst in the throne is called "prince bulb" and like- the only things I've seen around it at all was in daszombes streams where he DIDNT GO BACK TO CHECK IN ON IT AFTER THE SECOND TIME w/the text that appeared in each of the karma 'rooms" leading up to the throne peak.

I need more of him, I need to meet him, I don't have 13+hours to scour each of the beautifully crafted regions to figure out his deal (not w/o using cheats and ruining the whole exploration and grandure of the dlc- which I've done plenty of already)

Gonna put my guesses here before I learn more (if I even CAN) so

We ain't got iterators this time around, but there are still pearls (only one colored pearl I could grab before getting into the meat of watcher itself, but I'm sure there are others)

Maybe he can read pearls for you? Can you feed him? I didn't try pushing the scug to the core itself to see if it'd eat them but I will try that next time I play. There are hella karma flowers in that little nook- what died there? How many times? Are they naturally occuring or from a creature's cycle?

Not to mention the rot's color shift and spread thru out the regions as the dlc goes on- infecting plantlife and animals. Their click n drag is are still 'cyan lizard' if it's an infected cyan- even if it's CLEARLY purple now.

And of course the huge fuckass thing in unfortunate evolution??? What's up with THAT

Once this shit becomes more clear il post again about him- I'm super intrigued.

[0uterrim]

THE CENSUS HAS CONCLUDED!

thank you to everyone who sent in their responses!

results are under the cut:

for context i didn't post it on twitter but i wanted to include that on the off-chance someone reposted it there. but no one did! sad.

interesting that surv and hunter are tied in the vanilla poll, earlier on hunter was far in the lead.

about what I expected, tbh--saint in the lead with 14 votes and arti close behind with 13. big win for... murder enjoyers, i guess

also gourmand came in third which is cool

honestly, i expected fp to have a much higher percentage of the votes than this! but nope, he's got less than half as many votes as moon, at only thirteen compared to her twenty-eight. win for women

not sure what i was expecting here, but it wasn't this! i had no idea sky islands was so popular. although i suppose it makes sense--it's a very nice area aesthetically

also shoutout to the one (1) farm arrays fan

interesting results here! i honestly expected silent construct to score higher, but that's what I get for assuming my personal preferences are universal, I suppose.

i wasn't expecting outer expanse to win out by such a large margin, certainly!

(also, as a note: LTTM [region] is underrepresented here, because i forgor about her until a few days later, meaning that many votes were cast before the option to select her was added. im sorry women)

approximately what i expected, this! i already knew cyans were incredibly popular. not much to say here, tbh

not much to report on here. scagenger

the people love yeek, but they love vulture more, it seems

approx what i expected tbh

also approx what I expected! everybody loves rhinestones

breezing past this one because im not into shipping so i dont have much to say. i do find it a bit funny how artihunter is the only ship what was submitted on its own by multiple people

modding might be over-represented here as by far the biggest server i sent this in was the modding academy. oh well

....and i hit the tumblr image limit. uh. this is continued here! likely, when all is said and done, this will all be copied over there for the sake of cleanness, but I need to get this out today so I don't have much time to fix such things. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[ask-the-critters-survival-au]

Ok, we need a plan. Kickin, Hoppy, Picky. Crafty is with MLL as you know. *the anon makes a hologram with his robotic arm and points to a red and cyan dot* Bobby is with a Baby Long Legs, not sure if the latter can hear us. We could go faster if we split, possibly finding resources and or your Pachyderm friend! BUt there's also a risk of Catnap if he's alive and about.

I promise, or at least we'll try, that when we get this all fixed, you all are going to see the outside. But if not, it's been an honor meeting you all.

(so so SO sorry for the long ask!- Mod Squirrel)

…the outside. I’ve always wondered what the outside looked like.

Same here. I know the…really creepy stories the workers told us…but uh…never mind.

None of us would know what to do if we got out there. We don’t even know what is out there.

[clears throat]

If you’ve recently watched one or more of Legundo’s 100 Days videos, you might have some questions – questions like what’s with all the eyes, who the heck is Decem, what’s an Alteran, how do I get involved in the ARG, why is there chess happening, can I get off Legundo’s wild ride yet, et cetera. This post seeks to answer most of those questions in as straightforward a manner as possible (can’t help with the last one, though – you’re stuck here now!), while also sticking as close as possible to only canon information in order for people to form their own theories. Basically, consider it a brief lore primer for everything 100 Days Multiverse!

But first, a few disclaimers:

This is gonna be a long post. It's going under a readmore. If readmores don't work for you I'm sorry.

This is copied from a WIP document of ours that attempts to record pretty much everything going on in the series, which necessarily means it will at some point become outdated. (Time check: this post was made on 10/14/2023. There are still at least 2 puzzles that haven't been solved yet.) If anything significant comes up I'll try to add it to the summary and therefore that document, but there isn't anything yet.

There will be a lot of “might”, “possibly”, “may or may not have”, “somewhat implied to”, and other various caveats throughout this post. We don’t have a lot of information explicitly stated to be canon at the moment, and while a lot of things seem like sure bets, there’s no telling how unreliable these narrators might be. We don’t like claiming things are canon unless we’re 100% sure that’s the truth, so there’s a lot of weasel words in this summary. You���ll have to forgive us for this one – we prefer to be precise over definitive whenever possible. (And we apologize for not having cited sources here -- if something's incorrect, please call us on it!)

Finally: there is a more official lore document! It contains more details on pretty much everything here, focuses more on puzzle-solving, and also contains a great theorycrafting section -- you can read that here (and thank you to Lucid for creating it!)

Okay. Enough preamble. Let's get into the thick of it.

Legundo has been traveling the multiverse for a while, hopping from modded world to modded world from where he left his S2 Hardcore world behind. He seems to have at least some amount of partial amnesia, as he starts to remember things about his past over time, but to begin with he doesn’t remember (or at least doesn’t seem to remember) where he came from.

Legundo is also not alone – he’s being followed. Strange monoliths appear in certain worlds, made of blackstone/gilded blackstone when “dormant” and obsidian/crying obsidian when “active”. He speaks to these at first as though they can help him, but gradually becomes more and more suspicious of them, and eventually comes to realize they are harbingers of a group of entities/entity called Decem.

Decem has a history with Legundo that unravels throughout the course of the series. They have several associated motifs in addition to the monoliths/crying obsidian – most notably among them are eyes (especially Dimensional Doors) and usage of chess terminology/general references to chess. They also have a custom musical leitmotif -- current link to it here. (You'll usually be able to hear this one or something similar playing around when he stumbles across a monolith, I'm pretty sure.)

Despite “Decem” meaning “ten”, there are actually nine entities in the group, called Aspects. Each Aspect is associated with a different color and has a different title:

the Warrior, red

the Seer, orange

the Historian, yellow

the Merchant, green

the Senator, cyan

the Philosopher, purple

the Noble, pink

the Scientist, grey

the Wizard, black

Members of Decem are prone to infighting and general disagreements on how to solve their problems, especially the problem of Legundo; apparently, at some point Legundo was a member of the group himself, called the Architect and by process of elimination associated with the color blue. Decem seem to want Legundo back, but also don’t seem to fully agree on what method of doing this will be best. Legundo is also not particularly happy about this, referring to his cycle of modded worldhopping as a sort of prison, but he doesn’t seem to remember much (if any) of his past as the Architect.

When the world download for Hardcore S2 was released, viewers were made aware of a new faction, called the Alterans, who appear to be in direct conflict with Decem. While Decem claim that the Alterans are trying to “hide the truth” from us, the Alterans imply that they view their conflict with Decem as a desperate bid for survival (though they do also refer to it as a game of chess). At some point, they did something “ridiculous” as of yet unclear; they also apparently hosted the amnesiac Legundo at some point. Apparently, they were largely against telling him anything about where he came from, although they did “leave him his name” despite it being supposedly risky. It’s unclear if they are the cause of Legundo’s amnesia and/or his leaving Decem, but they certainly don’t want him to remember anything more than he already has. (As of Undercover, it seems extremely likely they are at the very least the cause of the Architect’s fall.)

Decem has a tendency to speak directly to viewers of 100 Days Multiverse videos, especially when Legundo dies or when other glitches occur. When this happens, they tend to leave links to hidden videos/audio clips and/or puzzles that lead to these things. As of right now, they appear to be offering the viewers who have solved their puzzles some sort of job, and may also be showing up on the viewer SMP during its fifth season (the chronology of this is very unclear – see Undercover). It’s unclear what this position within Decem entails, although given their chess motif it’s probably not an unreasonable assumption to say that they are recruiting new pawns.

[lynnbecks-gaming-sideblog]

*bangs head on desk* Minecraft fishing/ocean update/mod concept again like what I did here but more in-depth (pun not intended) because I got up at like 3am and it's like 4 when I'm writing this title thing and I have nothing to do for several hours.

Anyone who makes "lol Mojang are too lazy to implement this stuff" comments will be thrown into The Machine™ for a week and forced to watch a video about the reality of multiplatform game development. Also like this is a pure hypothetical and more of a "what I would do if I still made Minecraft mods and could do something this ambitious.

The basics:

Cooked fish are now called Smoked [type of fish].

Some fish species can only be caught based on what biome you're in.

There are new aquatic mobs that can't be caught, but some can drop items that can be eaten. This includes Squid, which have a chance of dropping Squid Rings or a Raw Tentacle.

The ocean is now stratified, and also a lot deeper than it already is. It's separated into the Surface (basically just how Minecraft's oceans currently are, complete with more biome diversity), Abyss (much darker and filled with bioluminescent mobs, as well as only containing one biome), and the Darkest Depths (rarely generates and is extremely deep; contains a new boss and lots of hostile aquatic mobs).

Iron now rusts (over four stages, similar to Copper oxidising but a lot slower) if submerged for long periods of time; Rusted Iron is easier to break, but otherwise the same. Iron Golems can also rust, which makes them slower, weaker and less durable. Rust can be removed by using a Brush.

There is now a designated "ocean" village type, which uses wooden walkways (similar to how regular villages look when they generate on water), and has buildings made out of modified boats. The Villager textures look somewhat piratey, with eyepatches and stripey bandannas and stuff. There are also aquatic Illagers that use a more cetacean-like Ravager variety, live in towers that are connected to the seafloor by an underwater mountain. Also there's a new Illager variety, the Drillager (which wears a bulky diving suit with a giant drill attached, which it uses to break through blocks and to charge at its targets yes, this is a Bioshock reference).

Fishing has been slightly overhauled; while you still just stick your rod in the water and wait, there's now a Fishing Table that can be used to change what bait you're using, which increase the chances of finding rarer biome-restricted fish (more on that further down), as well as a "salvage hook" item that vastly decreases the chance of catching a fish, but increases the chance of finding treasure like Saddles, Name Tags and Nautilus Shells.

There are now Diving Helmets, which offer almost no protection (being a glass bubble-helmet) and require 8 Glass Panes to craft, but allow the wearer to stay underwater forever. If they're crafted with Stained Glass, then the player's view will be tinted the appropriate colour.

More in-depth stuff:

Sharks exist now; they're based specifically on the mostly-harmless Nurse Shark, and - being based on an endangered species - drop no items on death. They also attack small fish mobs.

Underground lakes now contain Cavefish (not based on any specific species), which are blind and swim away from (most) noises, effectively working like a sneaky "tutorial" for the Deep Dark's mechanics.

The Darkest Depths contain the ruins of an unknown civilisation, and are protected by the Ancient Guardian, based on the boss of the same name from Minecraft Dungeons (but without the shard in the top of its head). Also a variant of the Biomine spawns near Ocean Monuments.

Skeleton Sharks spawn in all ocean biomes at night; they're hostile, and move relatively fast. When on land, they don't drown, but being undead mobs they do eventually burn in sunlight. They can also spawn being ridden by baby Drowned.

There are three new types of Coral: Elegance, which is cyan and glows; Pillar, which is green and has Log/Pillar/Basalt-style rotation; and Maze, which is orange and can form Chorus Plant-like "trees" that are topped with blocks of other Coral varieties.

Biome-specific mobs (note that there would probably be more but these are just the ones I could come up with)

Icy biomes contain Seals (neutral to players, but hostile to fish; drop nothing on death have a unique baby design), Snailfish (basic ambient fish), and a new mob called the Iceshell (hostile; a creature resembling a giant Portugese Man O' War, with the "sail" being a giant chunk of ice, and the tendrils replaced by several dangling crustacean-like limbs).

Swamps contain Piranhas (hostile to any mob with 25% health or less remaining) and Electric Eels (electrify the water in a 3x3 area around them when attacked).

Beaches contain Giant Crabs (passive; can be tamed with Seagrass or raw fish, and ridden as a semiaquatic mount yes this is a Bionicle reference; their colours vary depending on the specific Beach subtype, with regular Beaches having red crabs, Stony Shores having blue, and Snowy Beaches having white).

Warm Oceans contain Frogfish (passive; come in eight colours that match up with the five vanilla Coral varieties and the new ones. They don't swim, instead walking on the seafloor; when standing on the Coral variety that corresponds with their texture, they turn invisible), Sea Slugs (passive; inflict Poison on contact) and Eels (neutral; spawn at night and attack smaller fish).

In the Nether, there are now Firefish (passive; instead of being cooked, the player has to right click on a water-filled cauldron while holding one in order to make it safe to eat), Basalt Floats (passive, but dangerous; function like floating platforms the player can stand on to get across lava, but can descend unexpectedly), and Magmateeth (hostile; giant lava-sharks that can set the player on fire just by biting them).

Abyss mobs include Anglerfish (passive), Octopi (neutral; much larger than Squid), Glowmouths (hostile; pale, shark-like creatures with no eyes and glowing mouths), Comb Jellies (passive; deal damage on contact) and Giant Isopods (passive; run away from the player).

There is probably more I could write but I have very few ideas.

"Paradise isn't really what it is anymore."

Hello and welcome to a fanmade AU blog! This really isn't expected to be entirely canon (as per said in the main profile description) but will contain some elements to it.

The mod of this blog is @echothesillyreturns

This blog may include angst, blood, violence, deaths, and even mentions of horrible pasts, nightmares, etc. some of these could fall under mentions of abuse.

PLEASE DO NOT INTERACT WITH THIS BLOG IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPREAD RACIAL, HOMOPHOBIC/TRANSPHOBIC TOPICS. ALL ASKS INVOLVING THESE WILL BE REMOVED.

In this AU of Paradise, things had taken a wrong turn even after Blixer was put back in his place. He completely broke the promise of not to corrupt and take over Paradise again and ended up doing more damage than he should have. The corruption may have slightly changed some of the shapes on Paradise too from it.

Characters that can be asked: Cyan, Cube, Blixer, Barracuda, Lycanthropy (Lycan) Custom characters as of now: Scale

Cyan is nearly the same as he was, but he's still tired after the whole fight with Blixer and just wanted to rest, he might break easily under too much stress now. Cube goes by any pronouns, they try to keep Cyan from absolutely losing it but sometimes fails to do that, they have horrible memories of what happened. Blixer is well, a tyrant obviously, his little brother always getting in his way but he always shoves him out with force. He has some scarring from the damages he got a while back Barracuda and Lycan are nearly the same, Barracuda is just more calmer while Lycan is a bit... rabid I guess. Scale is Blixer's younger sibling, despite being corrupted he's a really kind shape, just wanting to help due to some events that happened in his past. He refuses to touch any other shape, he's scared he'd hurt them.

References in order (Blixer, Cube, Lycan, Barracuda, Cyan, Scale. Blixer is prone to change due to the design being a little old)
