Happy Year of the Dragon!

I love the idea of kintsugi so here's a porcelain dragon that highlights the broken seams with gold. Despite all the pains of hardships in life, we are beautiful.

"random people", what is random about "you do bad things, you are gonna feel bad for doing the bad things". that's literally the consequences of their own actions. there's also levels to it. higher the "karma" (the better the person), the weaker the feeling is going to be. the soul isn't some machine set on despair until "This Good" meter is reached, it is capable of evaluation. that evaluation is why the suffering happens at all

and, respectfully, good is subjective my ass. good is good, bad is bad. this isn't about weather preferences, this is about "should you or should you not excessively hoard food while there are people starving outside of your doors". it is about doing the best one can within the limits given by a situation, instead of ignoring it, relishing in it or worsening it

Honestly with my understanding of how your cycles work it would be funny to see an interaction between a human and an ancient where they are like "Woe is us we are trapped in a cycle blah... blah (basically longwinded explenation of how it works)" and the person is just like "I don't see the issiue here that's cool as fuck"

yes, well... part of why the rebirth cycle (Small Cycle) became so despised *is* because of propaganda. originally the thing was seen as a gift worth worshipping and praising, but as most things usually do, it has some downsides that certain group of people latched on to to demonize it

most of those being the aftermath of waking from death. such as still feeling the pain of the injury that killed the individual. it's relatively fine if one gets a fast death like a Noot stabbing, but if it's death like bleeding out from dismemberment? waking up feeling the pain of it, the phatom body part aspect even though it's Right There and not being able to treat it until it fades on its own isn't so fun

then the mental scarring of going through something like that...

the raincarnation cycle (Great Cycle) became despised because of something like a spirit's depression/nearly chronic frustration. low karma Ancients (under karma level 7) experience those kind of feelings seemingly out of nowhere, detached from the situation happening in the physicality

one can be eating their most favorite food ever and suddenly Bam, feelings of anger, sadness and frustration all at themselves. this happens because the spirit is aware it isn't moving forwards in cultivation/towards natural Ascension as it is supposed to and that upsets it

and judging by the existence of Those -points at Iterators- not many people actually work on bettering themselves because Why would they? They have the Iterators to get them the reward for becoming a good person without them having to change anything

so the nearly chronic spirit frustration/depression is common

i reiterate, this is a different world

and i add; as my personal definitions go, spirituality and religion are two different things. religions are means towards spirituality, sort of like vehicles that get a person to a place (in this, the spirituality being the place). spirituality, also, includes psychology [*psych*ology, from the greek word Psyché, meaning soul and all?]

as i see it, to be spiritual doesn't mean 100% commiting to ideaologies and ways of religions like Christianity, Buddhism, Islam or whatever. it is introspection, consideration of own actions and evaluation of own properties, for the purpose of ridding oneself of negative attributes (such as being violent, greedy, dependable on other people for personal stability and so on)

so let's mention human conscience. for example, you've wronged your best friend. told them a lie, maybe, a pretty hurtful one though one that saves your own hide. your conscience kicks in, guilt sets in. the means of getting rid of the guilt is coming clean, having a conversation about it, accepting the consequences of your actions

for the Ancients/Anemons, the spirit is where the conscience comes from, and in part what it is. a sort of solid point of Goodness, covered and hindered by the morally dubious materiality of a physical body

in their world, a spiritual world/higher beings/gods are real tangible things that do not have a space to be doubted like in ours. so the spirit (conscience) is telling the physical self: "Hey... we are not.. that good a person. We should work on ourselves. We are bad and/or doing bad things and we don't have to do those things. Why are we doing this, it hurts to be doing this."

Honestly with my understanding of how your cycles work it would be funny to see an interaction between a human and an ancient where they are like "Woe is us we are trapped in a cycle blah... blah (basically longwinded explenation of how it works)" and the person is just like "I don't see the issiue here that's cool as fuck"

#spot says stuff #rw #our own world would benefit from something like this honestly. imagine having a drive to better yourself. how terrible 🙄 #though of course the spirit- just like the guilt from telling a lie- can be still ignored though it is usually harder

I love caper I want to launch him into the stratosphere /pos

the whole superstructure........

#spot says stuff #rw #fun fact: most of the Anemon society doesn't believe in scientific space. they do have smth like NASA but everyone thinks it's just a- #-team of insane nutjobs. they were situated in Luna- Moon's city. had to disband when she started struggling with resources

#spot says stuff #rw #once again reminder that the rw world is very different from ours not only in fauna and flora thats right in front of the player but also- #-in the spiritual (aka psychological [inserted by personal definition of the word]) aspects as well #a human could sympathize but stuff like the loud despair of soul just isnt a thing with us. the closest we could get is religions guilt- #-tripping people but while That is terrible the ancients' thing is more like a guilt for being a bad person detached from physicality #its an internal self-critique they cant escape. unless maybe they r just really That shitty 🤔 -pokes mural karma 1 attacker ancient- hmm..

weird request, but id just like to see moon and boreas interact at all

would've been a weird request if I hadn't gone into a private turbo brainstorm mode about them back in November. there's quite a bit to make them an appealing duo

#rw #rain world #oc tag #oc: boreas' blessing #looks to the moon #philosophy sessions au #my art #there is so much TEXT its an INFODUMP dear gods the comic-making police (me) is gonna kick my ass #Moon n B are distant business siblings. 99% of time super professional. the other 1% is B being grumpy n Moon telling him his name is weird #(he agrees but glares anyway) #and still...
