#and this was lsst night

all fairies have an innate ability to disguise themselves as human, but like the rest of their magical abilities, its not present from birth. tadai is an adult fairy who made a lot of human friendships that she doesnt want to abandon so she poses as a human basket weaver fairly regularly. her daughter tulip is 7 years old and is only just barely beginning to use her magic properly (fairy babies can only use the most basic instinctual reactive magic until they get about 6-8 years old) so she’s still a little too young to do difficult spells like changing herself. so as a result if tadai cant get someone to watch tulip she’ll let her little baby ride around in her pocket or on her shoulder or somewhere else safe and out of sight. theyre both very used to this and tulip looooooves to climb around on and be held by her mama its very fun. very few of tadais human friends know shes a fairy but most of the ones that Do know mostly found out from catching a glimpse of a little girl with little wings slipping out of tadais pocket

oh yeah i've gotta tell y'all about the dream i had last night. it was the kind where you're so matter of fact about it in the dream but when you wake up you realise how horrific it actually was

so in this dream i had somehow managed to slice my left knee open, right down to the bone. and i remember just casually picking bits of dirt and dust off my kneecap. then i thought "right. i'd better do something about this, get it stitched up". but i happened to walk past a stall selling muffins and decided "nah. it can wait"

so with one hand i was holding my bloody mess of a knee together and with the other i was buying a chocolate muffin.

i presume i went to get the wound sorted after that, but i don't know because i woke up. and for a minute or two afterwards i still believed my knee was open and had to check it wasn't. so yeah that was fun lmao

#ok to reblog #ok. heavy vent in the tags. be prepared #so i don't always believe in the significance of dreams but i feel like this one means something #maybe it's about my mental health? because it's awful at the moment and yet i'm trying to ignore it and get on with life #when it really needs attention. and i keep buying myself treats thinking it'll solve it and no that won't solve it you idiot get help #the last couple of days have been bad. especially since mum turned the tv off lsst night and told us she'd been suicidal #i knew she was slightly depressed but i had no idea it was that bad. not sure it's quite sunk in yet #so maybe that's disturbed my dreams idk. all i know is this sounds like a tmagp statement #dream #dreams #dream diary #beep beep dreams #text post #textpost #beep beep gets personal #personal #body horror tw #? #gore tw #?? #knee #wound #injury tw #muffin #chocolate muffins #vent in tags

For the past couple of days, I've been tossing around the idea of an iterator OC who is focused around astronomy. I love astronomy, and there's a conspicuous lack of any information about it in Rain World, which I find pretty intriguing. (I made a post about some of my random theories here.) So, I started to think about what an iterator specifically designed to study astronomy might be like. I named them Three Stars Above Clouds (in reference to Orion's belt, because I can't help but put references to Orion in everything I do, I guess). I actually ended up having a lot of thoughts about them, which I'll detail below. (Warning, there's A Lot.)

Three Stars Above Clouds (TSAC) was designed and built by a splinter group of Ancients who believed the Solution to the Great Problem wouldn't be found deep underground, but in the sky. TSAC was created in order to help them collect data about the sky, house their institutions, and conduct research. They were built into a mountain range, where clouds are less likely to form and the air is thinner. (Real world observatories are often built on top of mountains or in arid places like deserts in an attempt to avoid interference from clouds and rain. You can't see the stars if they're hidden behind clouds, after all.)

Three Stars Above Clouds' city is home to several large observatories which keep a constant watch on the sky. I got the idea for TSAC in part from the currently-under-construction Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (also called the Vera C. Rubin Observatory). The LSST is designed to take ultra-high-definition pictures of the entire night sky every couple of nights, in order to monitor for changes. This data will be a treasure trove for astronomers, and can be used for anything from discovering new asteroids and rogue planets, to monitoring distant galaxies for supernovae. One problem that arises from this, however, is the sheer amount of data that this telescope will produce- it's way too much for any human to hope to be able to sift through. I imagine that the Ancients who built TSAC would run into a similar problem; TSAC's observatories generate colossal amounts of data, so a large part of TSAC's duties as an iterator are to sift through and analyze this data to find anything that might be useful in finding the Solution.

Three Stars Above Clouds is relatively isolated as an iterator. They are located at a much higher altitude than their peers, in the middle of a remote mountain range. Their citizens are also somewhat isolated from Ancient society at large, due to their fringe religious beliefs. (Due to the lack of anything astronomy or space-travel related in Rain World's lore, I think the Ancients either largely don't have an interest in studying astronomy, or it's considered taboo due to their religion's focus on ascension, as well as the subterranean Void Sea.)

As for Three Stars Above Clouds themself, they have a bit of a reputation for being a loner. Other iterators sometimes see them as obsessing over something pointless, because despite the vast amounts of data TSAC has collected, so far it's turned up nothing useful in terms of the Solution. However they are sometimes contacted by iterators who might be interested in their data, either for the purpose of research or just out of curiosity. TSAC is happy to talk about their personal research to anyone who is willing to listen.

Three Stars Above Clouds worked closely with their citizens while their city was still inhabited, and misses them deeply. Despite their citizens being gone, they continue with their sky surveys, partially because the desire to do so is hard-coded into their programming, and partially because it at least gives them something to do. Deep down, TSAC is convinced that someday they will come across something extraordinary among the stars.

In order to store the immense amounts of data generated by their observatories, TSAC's city and internal structure contain a wealth of data pearls, which has inevitably led to the amassing of a large Scavenger population both in and around their structure, who regularly raid TSAC's supply of pearls. However, due to TSAC's high altitude, their external structure and surrounding mountains are also home to large colonies of Vultures, which help control the Scavenger population, at the very least. TSAC is quite fond of Vultures for this reason.

The mountains are very cold, which means Three Stars Above Clouds' rain freezes almost immediately into snow and sleet, which falls down onto the surrounding mountains. As the glaciers and snowfall on these mountains melt, the water flows down the mountains into large rivers, and is collected in several dams at ground level. These dams are home to pumping stations which pump water back up into TSAC's can. TSAC's can is fed water through a vast array of underground pipes that snake underneath and through the mountains. The upkeep of these pipes is mostly automated, however, there are some issues that only an engineer can fix. With all of TSAC's engineers gone, their pipe network is extremely prone to failure due to its complexity. They've had a dam or two break in the past, and TSAC knows that it's only a matter of time before all of their dams break and they will lose their water supply for good.

Their void fluid filtration system is also similarly complex; mine shafts are scattered throughout the mountain range and reach deep underground to access the Void Sea. Even though TSAC's ancients don't think Void Fluid is the key to ascension, they still recognize its usefulness as a potent energy source.

These networks of tunnels, pipes, mines, and maintenance stations have become home to a wide range of creatures over the cycles, many seeking refuge from the cold. Maybe there's even a colony of subterranean Slugcats running around down there.

I've also made an annotated version of the drawing of TSAC's can; you can click on the alt text for transcriptions of my notes if you can't read my handwriting. One thing I forgot to note was the green lasers, those are Laser Guide Stars. (I just think they look cool.)

And here's a closer look at TSAC's city, because I'm pretty proud of the way it turned out. (I even snuck the LSST in there on the left, hehe.)

Aaaand I think that's everything! If I got any of the lore wrong, I apologize. Rain World's lore is pretty vague at times, and I tried to do the best with what I know. I also have a pretty strong grasp on astronomy, but not so much on climatology and geology, so if I got some of those things wrong as well, go easy on me, haha. X]

I will say, creating an iterator is an interesting thought experiment. You need to think about the effect they have on the surrounding environment, while keeping in mind that they're sentient and also have an entire city of people living on them that they need to help manage. Iterators are fascinating to me, and I love reading about other people's OCs and seeing the ways they're able to make them unique.

If you read this far, thank you for devoting some of your time to listening to me ramble. You get a gold star: ⭐⭐⭐

Edit: Here's a closeup of their in-game sprite as a reward for reading this far. Yippee

You should 100% watch Castlevania Nocturne and gush about Olrox (about your lsst fanart reblog). That man and his casual lover-not-lover have me by the throat.

I can't watch TV shows for some reason but I'm very close to snapping I need to liquify that man and drink him I need to grind him down and roll him up and smoke him I need to gnaw on his arms I need to eat him I need to chart every inch of his skin like he is the night sky and I'm an astronomer who has searched all my life for a piece of the sky as gorgeous as the one overhead in this moment

I convinced my sister to play a bit of RE4R lsst night. Here's a clip of her gameplay overlaid with her "Leon music" that she put on to heighten the experience, and to really get inside Leon's head... see what makes him Tick..
