Decided it was about time to update my iterator designs mostly due to how much of a pain they were to draw. All except for Pebbles of course <3 he only got minor tweaks.

I'll try not to redesign them for what... the 5th time or something

Unparalleled Innocence - An Angry Analysis (and fanon criticism) by The Conduit

(under cut due to being a long post)

I like to label myself "the #1 UI fan and the only person who really gets them" for… probably obvious reasons at this point. My interpretation of them is wildly different from almost everyone else's "mean gossip girl" interpretation of them, which - frankly, in my and some other people's opinion - results fron fandom misogyny due to gossiping's status as a stereotypically feminine trait. When a character's gender is unconfirmed, people default to referring to a character by masculine terms, and oftentimes get angry when the character in question is revealed to be anything else. (See: Seven Red Suns.) However, due to (misogynistic) stereotypes, the overwhelmingly common fanon interpretation of Unparalleled Innocence is a mean gossip girl, as mentioned prior.

I was not exempt from interpreting them as that until I actually began to look into the way they're treated by canon.

Unparalleled Innocence will be referred to as they/them in this essay, due to chatlog Iterators vagueposting about them using they/them pronouns and due to them lacking official confirmation on gender identity in both vanilla and Downpour.

One of the most significant mentions of UI, at least in the context of this essay, is the Shaded Citadel pearl. At the time of the pearl's writing (1514.008)[1], UI is likely still in construction or has only recently been constructed, placing them very, very close to whenever the mass ascension took place (before 1591.290). Unparalleled Innocence never has a line of dialogue in a single broadcast or broadcast pearl, and their characterization can only be inferred by the way other Iterators talk about and treat them.

UI is excluded from the discussion about Erratic Pulse, quite possibly suggesting alienation or distrust in UI by the local group for one reason or another.[2: Sky Islands 3] (Seven Red Suns is also excluded, but that's a result of them being heavily implied to not be a part of the same local group as the rest of the main cast. See: Citation 3) While discussing the leaking of Five Pebbles' rot, the idea that UI is mean is only a theory of Chasing Wind's (hence: "I suppose"), and not explicit fact.[3]

The most likely conclusion is that Unparalleled Innocence is a closed-off individual who doesn't realize the harm their actions bring to others, and is treated as much meaner by fellow Iterators than they actually are. Based on Gazing Stars' and Secluded Instinct's dialogue, it's entirely possible that UI might have leaked the rot images in a valiant attempt to notify others that Five Pebbles wasn't in a great state. They could've wanted to help to try and redeem whatever poor reputation had led to them being considered potentially mean by CW, but messed it up entirely.

Unparalleled Innocence came close to the sunset of their creators. They were abandoned by the so-called "noble benefactors." They were young, and didn't know how to handle it. This also plays in the favor of the idea that one of Rain World's themes is about empathy and understanding[4] - and in this case, it would be the lack of either.

And the fandom continues to mistreat them, just as they are by their fellow Iterators.

i wonder how it feel like for an iterator if, by some miracle, they made it into the void sea and met a void worm

a random false god meeting the closest thing to a true god

Due to the abnormal amounts of void fluid she was made to have, Unparalleled Innocence was lucky enough to do just that!

Some Innocence sketches. Trying to finalize my headcanon design for this character so I can do another long post explaining her more in-depth. I'm really excited to talk about what I've come up with!

Ended up experimenting with some brushes and techniques + a few design thoughts for Five Pebbles! I'm a big fan of messing around with shapes for heads, since there's no reason iterators couldn't've had some funky head shapes.

The last image is all experiments with a grain brush and the lasso tool! The iterator on the left is mostly just to test things, but I find the head and antennae particularly satisfying. It and the two greyscale slugcats (bottom uninfluenced by canon slugcats, top influenced by Rivulet) are all freeform, whereas Moon, Pebbles, and Sig were all made on top of a guiding sketch. I'm particularly pleased with the vibe that Moon's gives!

Perhaps I'll experiment a little more with brushes again. For now, I think I'm settling into Moon's outfit--particularly the luna moth inspired shawl/cape--but it definitely needs to be worked on sometime.

heck im going to make a separate post because i've just seen one too many and i've hit my breaking point sorry but

SEVEN RED SUNS USES THEY/THEM PRONOUNS!!

mixing pronouns is cool. no hate to the people who headcanon mixed pronouns. he/she/they NSHs? awesome. they/he or they/she suns? cool. mix and match pronouns all you like. i do not care

...but ive just seen far too many he/him suns. and i might be overreacting a bit here, but i relate so so personally to suns and their character that seeing people misgender them makes me feel the same icky feeling i get when people misgender me

along with this, both chasing wind and unparalleled innocence appear to canonically use they/them. and it bothers me a bit how no one has really seemed to talk about this either?? cause pearl/broadcast dialogue refers to both of them as "them"s.
