#rw off-string au

[lavendertoastmoth]

off string au…. Little headcannon that maybe iterators name their scugs like how they name accents and other iterators…

So the Escapist was name One Fateful Night.. Or Fate. She just escaped from a collapse iterator can so she got a little scraped up

Sorry for no real art lately, my life is an actual disaster :p

Just some doodles of the siblings in my silly little au that I never give context for- if people actually want to know more about it maybe I’ll explain it someday, but it’s not very developed, more just a fun little though in my head lol

Frostbite of feathers!!! Mah babyyyyy!!!

I have finished four of my Iterator oc Sheets, im working on assembling the lore fore them so its at least undestanable, shes the first to be done fully, others are coming soon!!

Y’know I’m actually gonna post this drawing by itself too because I actually think it’s cute and looks better without massive walls of text on either side of it- lol

off string designs for visceral growths. puppets actually built for moving around!!!

myths is technically already an "off string model" so i won't draw her design :p but here's the others

since they can't function without their neurons they have tiny ones inside of their body!!! i could go on about the functions. thinking about this stuff is so interesting to me.

rambles below the cut

ok so uhm the main thing i had to keep in mind with their off string design was mobility. OBVIOUSLY. their legs are built the way they are for the sake of traversing through harsh, bumpy and uneven terrain (for a multitude of purposes. i think in general their ancients would just want them to be mobile for important meetings and even in case of emergencies! ancients thinking about the future that DOESN'T involve mass ascension ... unheard of) and have springs based off the "prototype"'s (myths.) feet to absorb impact when falling. fields especially has a special ability to jump higher from the added mechanisms he has in his legs :]

their feet are talon-like for the sake of grip and their legs are generally very agile despite their chunky design! with multiple joints that allow for flexibility. their hips are also built to allow their legs to stretch to the side and whatnot. they're just very flexible in general.

now for my favorite part!!! the jelly-like substance that each of their puppets has acts as their "blood". despite being considered iterator blood it isn't fluid, and is comparable to the texture of the silicone from a breast implant—doesn't spill, is a great regulator for heat, and prevents any possible damage to their innards !!! the ancients figured that they'd need their neurons to function properly sooo they just shrunk down copies of their data into tinier neurons and just. filled em up with them. the neurons float around freely inside of them.

i also think that their cores are somewhere inside their torsos like a real heart, protected by the silicone. they also have a bunch of wires and functions inside that require frequent coolant so they probably have a bottle for it somewhere along their back that can be taken out at any given moment.

i think that's all i have to ramble about so far. they're so neat and fun to think about and ough. they're just like their superstructures fr fr <333 I'll probably yap more later but for now that's all
