Hi! I've recently found your stuff and I've really fallen in love with it! Your art is so gorgeous! What do you think would happen if the slugcats were mice instead of cats? Wouldn't that be fucked up or what? xP

Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words :)

Well, interesting hypothetical, but Slugcats aren’t cats at all anyways! They’re more akin to rodents than anything. (They’re referred to in the dev notes originally as bear creatures) I honestly really like how vague slugcats are, species-wise. It helps sell the whole alien world vibe.

But you’ll be happy to know there are mice in the game! Lantern mice, to be specific. :)

Underrated aspect of Moon’s character is her canonical distaste for flowery language and drawn out metaphor. Don’t get me wrong she’s still verbose, but compared to her creators her speech is outright truncated.

#rain world #looks to the moon #rw lttm #love her so much

Oh honestly I never knew that they removed that in the DLC. I wonder why? (Maybe bc the new slugcats had a lot more movement tech and they didn’t want players locked out of an important npc for using them? Maybe bc they added slugpups and were afraid that people could accidentally be locked out if their slugpup was too rowdy? Idk!)

I have to say I prefer the characterization of vanilla in this instance, but considering so many rainworld fans were introduced through downpour it’s a much easier jump in characterization to make than I previously thought. Thank you for your thoughts!!

A little tired of people saying Moon can’t stand up for herself. Like yeah I think one of the flaws she has is she is too lenient and forgiving, but also in her situation it’s VERY HARD not to be. And it’s very situational, usually manifesting with Five Pebbles.

She stops talking to you if you annoy her enough, and only starts again if you win her back over. You have to put in the work. She isn’t “rolling over” and letting things happen to her, despite the fact that she is in absolutely no position to bargain. As stated by her, her kindness and her words are the ONLY thing she has. So her taking those away from you, the player, is absolutely her standing up for herself.

Everyone brings up how she handles Five Pebbles (esp the comms thing) and it is incredible to me just how many people lay this entirely at her feet when the game states over and over again that even despite Moon’s intentional feather-light influence over him, he still resents her for being his superior. He seeks out a mentor who is her opposite.

He wants to be something more than what he is, wants to be detached from her, and she can’t do anything about that but do the best she can to exert as little influence over him as possible.

She is stuck between a rock and a hard place here, and was betting on her kindness to have fostered enough mutual respect that she wouldn’t have to resort to forced communications. She was wrong. He was driven by fierce desperation, something that she wasn’t privy to. And she paid for it.

Yes, this is a flaw of hers. But it’s not a universal one. (the rest of the iterators look to her for help- she’s the group senior for gods sake- and people act like she can’t take a stand) I genuinely doubt Moon would’ve waited so long to used forced comms if it were happening to anyone else. If it were being committed by anyone else. And that just makes the tragedy even sweeter.

#rain world #looks to the moon #five pebbles #as for Nshs comment. honestly thinking abt suns in vanilla v downpour just gives me a migraine #but I want to make it clear that I don’t think her kindness is never a detriment. simply that I’ve seen the specific take #‘she can’t stand up for herself or be assertive’ a few different times now and I thought differently #I do think moon’s kindness is one of the best things about her. but as nah says it’s her greatest asset along with being a weakness #*nsh

#rain world #looks to the moon #five pebbles #rw spoilers #This isn’t to hate on five pebbles or anything. He’s just as stuck as she is. #But I’ve seen the take pop up more and more that she should “talk to and learn from five pebbles to be more assertive” or w/e #And I’m like literally how pre-collapse could she do that. #It’s very heavily implied that despite moon’s efforts pebbles wants little to nothing to do with her. #Because she’s a reminder of how stuck he is. #One of my fav parts abt rainworld is how the pieces really couldn’t have fallen any other way. They were doomed from the start. #And how the biggest “enemy” the two really have are the very society they desperately cling to. #Anyways. I love moon so much and have so many thoughts. Tragic siblings.

Commiseration.

#rain world #rain world downpour #rain world spoilers #looks to the moon #rw lttm #rw saint #saint rain world #look into my eyes. the parallels #‘is this about how Moon had little to no agency throughout the timeline and must rely on other creatures making decisions’ #‘or is it about the cycle itself and how it presents itself in a meta sense - these two being unable to escape this point in time’ #why not both.

Have you ever wanted to draw something but you fought due to your skill level at the time you decide not to do it

Yeah I’ve had moments like that. It’s always frustrating when you have a vision in your head and it’s not translating to your medium of choice. But honestly? I say go for it anyway. Getting something out and pushing yourself has always been worth it to me, and it gives you something to look back on when you do have the skill to pull it off how you want. (Also, I’ve found references help immensely when I’m struggling with a particular pose or background element!)

#asks #rainy rambles #I hope this is helpful. good luck!!
