#gourmand doesnt get dissolved out of an ascending ending despite his attachment to TWO worldly 'sins' !!!!!

i wonder why Spearmaster has no strong connections with violence or the violence karma despite being only able to feed when impaling other creatures

#ikildaman shut the fuck up #downpour #ugh spoilers tag rant #ok i did a basic sweep of the wiki and it seems SM was designed to try and minimise animalistic tendencies to further encourage its purpose #as yknow a purposed organism #but i still dont get how in The Great Scheme Of Everything this doesnt reflect on them #if Artificer can get traumatised into a violence machine and thus be Damned by the Way The World/Ascension Works #then why is it different for Spearmaster. because they're not angry when they stab shit? because they have no other way to sustain themself #as if it is mere anger that drives Arti mind you. that is an animal. #the sophontness of the slugcats r debatable and i find it weirdly cruel how Arti gets locked out of ascension #even though we have the option to not genocide a bunch of scavs. even though we are Forced to use violence to progress in game #idk man i will always find issues with the logic of ascension and the 'morality' applied to it honestly this shits nonsense #gourmand doesnt get dissolved out of an ascending ending despite his attachment to TWO worldly 'sins' !!!!! #gourmand got a real wank off of an ascension ending literally just a recolour of survivors ending. shake my fuckig head #yknow i really liked the approach to gourmand i had extremely abysmal expectations for him #but the lazy ascension ending really kind of just ruins it a little bit 2 me..... idk........ #at least be consistent in locking slugcats who are anchored to the world via the games five 'sins' out of ascension. please #same with spearmaster i feel like their ascension might be a copout. they have such a nothing story HDSHDSGGHGSHGS #theres lots of good stuff here but in the background. shit we dont get to live thru. SM was a suicide aid at one point. can you believe tha #though i suppose Survivor is kind of inherently tied to one of the anchoring sins yknow. but their whole deal is journeying past that #so. in the end we just hate Arti i guess even though the gameplay does not let us grow past that!! yayyy rainworld !!!! #im literally only ranting about this because im trying to assign each cat a karma symbol lord help me #Survivor can grow past their anchor to the world being survival + Spearmaster can grow past their anchor potentially being violence and #companionship. Gourmand heavily tied with gluttony and companionship but can ascend + who gives a fuck about him am i right guys #Hunter can grow past its tie to the anchor of violence and survival + i dont think Rivulet even has any strong ties beyond companionship #so of course Riv can ascend Riv can do whatever it wants + Saints anchor to the world is existence itself or maybe ascension violence #dont ask me what the fuck is going on with Saint because then it brings Echoes into the process and that further fucks everything up #obviously Monk can follow in Survivor's footsteps but has even less sins anchoring him to the world + Paincat isnt canon #Artificer cannot do any of these things though because ? fuck you is why. i dont know. Artificer cannot have shit #maybe Arti became an echo. i assume she did
