So here's some of the children that i have collected on the way

Something about Saint and breaking cycles
Personal interpretations and headcanons under the cut
I'm really not that big of a fan of Saint lorewise, purely because i feel like their story goes agaisn't what i believed to be the point of Rain World's story, or at least one of them, which is that life will continue to exist and evolve no matter how hard you try to erase it, that even though many creatures had gone extinct due to the snow storms, many others had adapted to the cold and were thriving, civilisations fall and rise, life goes on.
Because of that i am not really the biggest fan of the theory that Saint's goal is to ascend every living being so a new era can start anew, personally i see it as the opposite, a creature given the power that the Ancients and iterators so dearly wished they had is at the end of the day, nothing but an animal, and will continue to exist as an animal for the rest of it's existence.
Saint is not a saviour, nor are they a god, they're a slugcat, a creature, one that is not immune to instinct, it sees ascension as nothing but as a way to defend itself, it's not doing it for a sense of duty, it only does what it needs to further it's survival.
I think that's also one of the reasons why the ending of their campaign annoys me, mostly the fact that there is no other option but go to Rubicon, when in reality i think the most tragically beautiful thing would be for Saint to live it's life, for all of the Ancient's efforts to go in vain, for the Triple Affirmative to be lost to the wind.
Something about breaking cycles, but not the ones your creators made you to break.
