the dubious insect does something i do not understand

feat @prismsoup

[prismsoup]

WOO ARTFIGHT TIME !!! You can find my artfight here >>>>>> COOL LINK

I have rain world, hollow knight, ultrakill, pokémon and just other random ocs in there !

The Cooler Harem . Something something RP Canon. the iterator on the left here is Whispering Paracosm.

i really like Director's mask here theyre so bird :D

anyways the bug is named Spears and Director hates him . Director is meant to be strangling him but he's an Iterator so that doesn't really work ((and I didn't draw it too well))

10 and/or 14!

10: ok this is a bit tricky bc i have a very big problem of being too absorbed in my own little world and thus the OCs i know most about end up being the ones i interact with most / hear about the most (as in. get told about the most bc im very bad at seeking stuff out on my own im very sorry)

anyways i could list a LOT of OCs here but to save my hand i will not list them all.

from left to right:

Twenty Long Spears Pierce The Sky (@prismsoup) He's really fun to bully interact with and he is a very compelling antagonist (yay!!) and also rlly cool and scary

Enduring Calls Of Vices (ECOV) (@fauxbia) Honestly all jade blorbos could go here but ECOV is the most fun to interact with bc i love arguing as a fictional character and ECOV is very argumentative, LOL. also im huffing copium that one day PU and ECOV will get along </3

Counting Strings Of Beads (CSOB) (@cloverlady) Once again I could put all clover blorbos here. crazy how that works out. Anyways Beads' arc is womderful and Beads herself is also wonderful and i wish she was real and I could give her a hug

ok ALSO to add variety uhhhhh...

Distant Frontier (@daszombes) Honestly Twisting Roads is still the best written so far, but DF has such a striking and instantly understandable concept that I'm sure his rewrite will be peak. tho maybe I'll end up liking UP more idk

Absolvent of Sins (@distant-frontier-simp) AOS is my friend and i love them and also im a sucker for characters with horrific backstories that are still unstoppable balls of sunshine

And for question 14 - modern AUs are fun and comfy i should draw them more i think. modern AU for luna OCs is particularly funny tho bc the MIPs still have the same origin and just go about mundane life anyways which is Very Funny To Me for Reasons!! (im very normal and can be trusted)

related to the previous post

more boxline shenanigans. the spears stuff has basically nothing to do with the mips but it's really funny so im posting it here hashtag YOLO

SSR did not have a design or personality yet but I randomly decided my one anonymous tupper i made to Host the relevant Anonymous Line in that rp woukd be SSR.

his moderation style boiled down to: "please don't send malware aha" and literally nothing else unless it concerned the Mobile Iterator Project. he was so iconic for this. also this was where he became The Survey Guy. which is a gimmick I gotta re-introduce eventually. basically he's very lonely and pathetic and wants to entertain people and drum up engagement (me bleeding in ooc) but also he wants to be mildly helpful by Gathering Information

[mip-dev-center]

noncanon hypothetical boxline shenanigans. featuring prismsoup's Twenty Long Spears Pierce The Sky. whenever Spears and Thorns argue, it is very entertaining. They both believe themselves to be superior to others (for different reasons), so neither tends to admit fault.

[mip-dev-center]

jolly co-op and other boxline-related doodles. and sls miku ig.

rot plu and stuff.

idk where to put these so here is fine enough ig, lol

none of these are super relevant to main canon

[mip-dev-center]

This scenario is from boxline canon and I found it funny so I'm posting it. It's a hypothetical scenario I drew because Umbra thought "well if I was watching Spears I'd do a better job". unfortunately this is not the case. idk how to explain what happened to spears um basically he attacked someone and so he got put in time out (iterator grafted onto him to administrate him) instead of being executed,

also boxline Umbra was such a hater oh my god. They wanted TLSPTS GONE. being fair he did hurt their friend (SLS) and torture her friend and attacked her other friend so I get it

for context TLSPTS is very Normal about Citizens and MIPs exist in a strange grey area as pseudo-bennies. or pseudo-archies as per terminology of MIP AU . psuedo-anchovies . sorry i mean like pseudo-people yknow bc minds of architects bla bla bla. free citizens (not really)

anyways PU was sent home after a long lecture about Clouds and Weather.

TLSPTS belongs to prismsoup and EGC (guardian) and Watcher in the Dark (magic 8ball forehead) belomg to my friend Ark

[mip-dev-center]

stupid bullshit compilation feat twenty long spears pierce the sky. he belongs to prismsoup. (Sol)

second image is related to thorns. my nonbinary sibling in the void you programmed the Iterator

"who is hoarder?" Sol's horrible beast that attacks mip units

[prismsoup]

Ref for TLSPTS' puppet ! Took me one billion years to finally finish it but here it is now

[mewguca]

Best Friends Forever! I love making AUs to put them into Situations

Paths Left Untaken by @fauxbia

( font is from crystaluranium in the RW Official Discord, which references a tumblr post by ikayblythe )

bonus doodles and some explanations for the concept under the cut

Paths Left Untaken is like, extremely ultra mega-doomed. Like... my god does that Iterator suffer in so many situations lol. in this specific AU, to save Paths from her structural collapse (which shall be slow and painful and horrible for everyone really), Paths has been off-stringed into a MIP Unit (like what SLS is yay!!) what matters is that she's mobile now and has been reduced to a fraction of her former self against her will won't collapse or decay any time soon!! After all it's a lot easier to sustain a puppet than a structure

additionally echo SLS is back and she has a savior complex so she's breaking reality to rewind time over and over again because she does not have the power to stop the (metaphorical) Wheel entirely, so this is the next best thing! She'll stop resetting things once everything is perfect for everyone, which will Definitely Totally Happen and she's not doomed ahahaha.

I really like their friendship a lot if you couldn't tell. also TLSPTS mention

btw, the glyph text says "Be not afraid." and "I will save you." Wooooo!!! its hard to tell because the doodle is so messy but she has six wings which is a reference to seraphim because i like angelic imagery a little bit

[mip-dev-center]

ELW with a rot cyst. Related to a scenario in-rp where she did some snooping around Paths Left Untaken's structure and found... Rot, of course. Pathsrot is purple and has an eye motif. Of course in MIP Canon (main strand) we don't get a ton of rot!plu due to the whole... transfer process, but in other strands she's really cool and awesome ((i am being threatened to say this))

Some Background: Paths Left Untaken (OC from my friend fauxbia) is an Iterator who befriended Starlight Symphony. She's basically SLS's closest non-Project friend, at least for a good while. PLU was built in the "plateau" era (somewhere around wave 2-3 probably) where many projects were built with little innovation or attention to detail. She has oversights in her task management that give her (simplification) the Iterator equivalent of ADHD. This is fine, but the real issue is later on, post-mass ascension, where she runs into greater structural issues. tl;dr she tries experimenting (NOTHING ILLEGAL) to be productive and her systems malfunction and she ends up developing a case of rot. (so like a freak genetic mutation im assuming idk I didn't make Paths) This inevitably has noticeable consequences, as Paths has occasional malfunctions and isolates herself really hard.

SLS, of course, is worried about this, but she doesn't want to cross Paths' boundaries or make her feel worse by trying to figure out what's wrong. Her Administrator has no such reservations. They enlist the help of TLSPTS ((unsure if a version of him is canon to main MIP timeline or not; this is more relevant for Paths' sake anyways)), who uh. Is pretty poorly-regarded and rather shady, and sometimes he uses not-so-great methods to get information. Regardless he's a sort of scapegoat for the Director because they don't want to get their hands dirty. Paths, of course, is not one to divulge information, so this endeavor has... middling results.

Anyways, the reason ELW specifically was snooping is that Paths was starting to show signs of Not Doing Well on the Central Line (think of it like Iterator General Chat), so ELW took the initiative as SLS' Senior to go and investigate the status of her dear friend. (Sending an Overseer.) She did this so she could solicit medical information from No Cost Too Great, as she assumed they'd want to know about Paths' condition, given her relevance to their most favoritest creation Starlight Symphony.

.......and so we have this doodle. if anyone cares I can maybe try archiving some of the relevant conversations to the Paths situation on here since it IS relevant to the main mip canon (as she does get MIP'ed) just bear in mind it's originating from the RP timeline so yknow. Differences and all. You could also ask Jade (fauxbia) to ramble on about it sometime, maybe.

(tags from @beeb-oob I hope you don't mind me tagging you here so you can see my extra rambling)

TLSPTS indeed is a meteorological superstructure- but more than that, he was a symbol, as many iteraors were during the times from Prototypes to First Mass Construction Wave.

Network - Ah, this one is quite old ! It predates the construction of Twenty Long Spears Pierce the Sky, as it seems to have been recorded during the installation of additional access ports to the Meteorological Superstructure's network. Although it does look like the implementation of an Iterator to the station was already being suggested at the time, under the project name of Display of Power. The rest of the data is only comprised of intricate maps, which I doubt would be of great interest to a little creature like you.

"Display of Power" or "Supremacy of [Concerned House]" (which became "Supremacy of House of Concerns") were two draft names for project Twenty Long Spears Pierce the Sky. It should give you the general idea behind his construction. As iterators were starting to be mass constructed, they became a major tool in displays of religious and political influence. Those which were not Community-constructed (common accord between multiple Houses or Organizations) could be used as the ultimate sign of "being better" than everyone else.

-> I explain the construction waves in this post if you're interested

When you make a product, you need a form of control over it. You want it to spread and promote specific ideas, ideologies, principles, models and systems. And you certainly want it to see you (and present you) in a good light.

It was also a good way to test certain things before implementing them on future models.

Regarding how a meteorological superstructure would be capable of causing damage- there's a few things !

Twenty Long Spears Pierce the Sky is an Unconventional Model - High Processing Power. He was constructed to monitor the Great Equalizer (when it hadnt stabilized yet and when the mass construction of iterators were still heavily impacting the weather in a way that the Benefactors struggled to fully measure). It collects, processes and stores a gigantic amount of meteorological data, but also runs heavy simulations to estimate the impact of a construction (depending on the area) and its viability (construction impacted by nearby structures ? climate too dangerous for installation ? etc..).

Have it withhold the information, or make the machine generate false data and you start having a problem. He probably isn't the only meterological superstructure out there, but it certainly is one way to get in the way of a project the House is against.

As for something way more rare but quite problematic : mislabelled systems and the Physical Network Points.

Here we have a (poorly drawn) example of how TLSPTS is connected to distant meteorological masts. "Physical Relay" means it's a bunch of cables running underground (or above ground in massive protective layers) connecting various "Physical Network Points" (connection hubs, where multiple relays connect or can be connected). "Non-physical relays" are ones not connected by cables.

These masts are all labelled under "meteorological equipment".

In extremely rare cases, this can happen :

Random equipment is connected to the mast or replaces it, but remains attached to the network point under the same label. This can happen for iterator equipment too (though it's generally fixed if the mistake is caught) but would mostly happen to rushed projects.

Legally speaking, the data passing through these networks and marked as coming from "meteorological equipment" is fully accesible by TLSPTS. He is allowed to process and store it- or share it however he wants. Depending on the mislabelled equipment, that access can become more or less problematic.

-> Not canon but in a fun little rp, one poor iterator (Paths Left Untaken by @fauxbia) had the misfortune of having her internal temperature systems marked as "meteorological equipment". Not fun. Especially when her access to her own data could simply be denied due to it. (Also go look at PLU's design she is such a cool character)

Oh !! I almost forgot about the second part of the tags ! Regarding the Docility Protocols !

He isn't aware of them. He can't, either. A fun little aspect of the Protocols is that they prevent the iterator from recognizing them. You could show a comprehensible piece of code to him and he would not be able to recognize what it is, and it would leave his mind the second he's no longer focused on it.

As for how far the obsession goes ? Think of his general relationship with some Benefactors as a worshipper/god relationship ? Sort of ? So yes, "blind reverence cult" type of vibe. But it also becomes hyper possessive later on (post mass ascension).

-> Example (not canon, but still fun) : the skittering. He tore himself from the earth (and effectively disemboweled himself in the process) just to run after TWO Benefactors, who left to reside within another superstructure.

Also last little thing : he does not have a city because he lacks legs (the structure is sitting on top of an older meteorological station) and the top of the can is too close to the cloud layer. (And also the fact he just generates massive storms by breathing).
