My fav region of the entire series
Indeed, but I still loathe the centipedes
Agree
Man I'm gonna enjoy replaying every rainworld campaign
We hate centis 
In like a year or 2
So for that one gate I'm going to cheat when playing with friends. Use settings to unlock it. No other gates but that one in particular
It's just bad game design
The hard ones should be 1 karma
Same with farm arrays.
But you got a popcorn plant
Edit: and farm arrays to sub gate only takes 3 karma
I get Shoreline to Subterranean being level five, it's a shortcut and optional. But the main path after thr hell called Underhang? WHY?
I stopped playing for almost like a year then came back to play a series of modded regions( Sunlit Trails)
That was fun, RW is one of those games that can make you nervous no matter how much you're accustomed to it
Anyway, can't find thr "nightmare" pearl right now so I'll go fishing later (might not exist but fairly sure it does)
Isn't it 4? I thought Hunter starts with 3 and that makes you unable to go to Sub echo immediately
Hmmm...idk
It's 4
I had gates off in invs campaign and that's like the only time I've ever used that gate
Besides my original playthrough
Out of curiosity, does anyone else mix up 3 and 4 based on image alone? They are very similar
Your inv run is seriously impressive, over 60 hours 
Once I thought I was smart, starving on first cycle then going to sub echo to gain a karma level

I used to mix up karma 1 and 2, but I've played the game too much now 
Never starve
Looks like i missed some interesting convo
Especially as Spearmaster
I fell back asleep 
I started this... Surprised?
Eh
You gotta save first 
Philosophy? In stories chat? No way
And government
Stories chat member having a good sleep schedule for once? 
Oh I thought you are here because you managed to ❌ the ☀️

Well considering I woke up around 5ish and fucked around on my phone for a couple hours… maybe not
Started with me referencing Tale Foundary pointing out Ancient's had shit lives because they deliberately decided to have shit lives. Then it kinda devolved into...whatever is going on right now
Aw ❤️ my bim does this
Same, didn't wake up at 5 am for once 
Is that your dog's name?
Gonna have me a 4 hour sleep 
Hahaha maybe… maybe someday
Didn't wake up at 11 for once
Hims the bims


.
She just like...jumped. she shook very hard in one motion then stopped moving.
Dreaming?
Yeh. She snoring like a dog.
If I may ask, does she limp?
Cause she is a dog
Awe
Don't think so?
Doggy ❤️


We love rainy games
i have such difficulty falling asleep
Console :(
Stories' sleep schedule redemption arc?!
Pill
To compensate, I will not sleep today 
/j
i have to play movie-level detail in my head to fall asleep every night 
What
I am carrying stories' sleep schedule by sleeping 8 hours every day plus a nap 
I am literally becoming a geriatric

Healthy sleep schedule?!
Actually the protagonist 
I am so fucking jealous
Teach me the secrets
DON'T BE, I wanna cut out the nap to art but soooo sleepy after noon
My sleep time is fine but not my schedule
Grass is always greener 
We will always crave what we do not have 
How would you guys write the action of getting up after sleeping?
If I wrote it true to life it would go on for a few pages
TEN HOURS OF SLEEP
I am a sleepy eepy
Uhhh...2 paragraphs
Ah you want actual tips? Hmm
Was it a good sleep?
I like how stories misc is just stories chat now lmao
Ive never actually written one but I think you can be very flexible with it? I'd say waking up after being drunk would be different from waking up planned.
But I suggest don't make the character suddenly flings themselves up when waking up from nightmare, it's actually not realistic I think
Shelter woke them up
Actually depends. I punched a wall more than once on waking up
Continuation of the dream could be a good point in writing
Man I kinda want to take a nap. Too bad my eyes feel like sleeping and feel like not sleeping anytime I try to do either
Lots of ways to write waking up, some stuff you could describe:
Blinking awake, eyes adjusting, morning light, yawns and stretches. Maybe rolls back over, not ready to get up. If they’re with someone else, snuggling up to them? Waking them up?
No birdsong in RW seemingly, maybe mornings are especially quiet, as everything has hidden from the rain?
Everything damp and dripping. Mornings are sparkly and the air is thick and humid
Sounds unpleasant.
The pitter patter of the rain lulled them to sleep last time but now upon awaking it's just annoying them
This too
Being kinda half-awake, slipping back into dream
With that, I meant more like "you were fighting someone in dream, then immediately punched the wall as hard as you could while waking" 
But that's good too, I relate to it
Ima screenshot your advice if you don't mind. It is very helpful
Ah!!
That’s fun too
Sometimes it’s fun to write someone startling awake, wrenching awake, still confused from the dream
Ofc!
Inv can't punch birb or else his arm would get bit off
i'm doing surprisingly good for a person that has slept basically nothing
I am gonna die in a few minutes, won't I 
raincord sleep police are gonna take you out
watch your back
The sleep mafia is always watching 
always
Even when they should be asleep
You’re never safe from the sleep police
👉🛏️
Work in shifts 
Alternatively, "We get our hands dirty so that the world stays clean" 
I have a test today and had to write a whole epilogue story for an assignment also due today 
If youre feeling really tired, a 15-20 mins nap could help
Always watching.
Actually sleeping very little feels very good
I can't take a nap because I have to start preparing to go to class in like 10 minutes 
Then you get in a car crash
I used every single minute I had very wisely
Bread chat it’s bread day. Bread’s in the oven
Always.
-# Watcher Grian fanart.

In that case, good luck on your endeavors, and then come back to rest later
You just like me fr fr
We will make sure you get your rest.
Remember that it is vital to thee.
I want bread
Soon bread… for me
Carbohydratesss
Banan collaborates with microbes (yeast), banan iterator confirmed
All I eat is carbs
It certainly took some iterations to get sourdough right…. Still working on it….
Iterations. Clever.
figured out the best way to lock in while writing an assignment
Just listen to the Fear & Hunger OST to get existential horror in you.
Only got 10 minutes? Listen to "Pulse & Anxiety" and now it feels like 10 hours
Listening to (certain) music is a great way to do things quicker
I can't quite explain it, but it's really cool when it happens and you do something that you otherwise couldn't
ok gotta go get dressed while fear inducing music plays in the background bye 
what was the track name that plays when you fight the head guy?
Oops, it's not midnight yet but just realize I'd have less than 7 hours of sleep if i don't go now 
Gn stories 
Reminds me, I have to go myself. Life calls.
Bread’s here
Didn’t brown very evenly… 
As long as it's nice and crunchy, it's good 
Yummi
Gib
Would if I could!
I bake bread for all my friends haha
I’m supposed to make Katsu sandwiches for my friend for her bday soon
That's sweet
derlicious
It's "Pulse & Anxiety"
It's also the boss theme for [most] bosses


i remembered something sort of! yay! 
i should also finish funger at some point 
i made a deal with my friend 
Finish funger AND funger 2 termina 
he didnt buy me funger 2
Make him buy you the sequel and if you beat it, he buys Rain World Downpour 

Slept from 6:10 AM to 8:20 AM and somehow feel energetic
Relatable
Sleeping for a very short amount of time feels good. But it's not healthy or smth.
yoo same, couldn't fall asleep until like, 5, woke up at 9 then played hockey for two hours 
You play hockey?
Brain damage helps? Hmm
Lemme give that a try
Ohhh I gotchu

Put on a helmet or something to soften a blow, then throw your forehead directly into a wall or other hard surface (the goal is to change momentum quickly without knocking yourself out)
Then when you see the little lights swimming in your eyes and the sort of haze between your ears, you'll know you've done it :)
something like a hardhat, something built to soften blows
(dont do this btw)
Well, if you just knock yourself out, then you miss the peak concussion feelings
plus, if you're protected, you can basically concuss yourself repeatedly before you feel any pain at all, thus making it easier to do so 
my hockey helmet is excellent at that
Oh I already do this sans helmet?
The helmet makes it possible to do it harder and repeatedly 
Maybe I used up all my brain dramage bonus already
like how boxing gloves actually increase concussions
This doesn’t make sense to me, but I have brain damage so
It's true
bare knuckle fighting has fewer severe concussions
because people just get knocked out
but with gloves, it's possible to be concussed numerous times in a single fight, which is where compounding concussion damage (the good shit) sets in 
Thus, for optimal brain damaging, a helmet should be used
and it'll hurt less so you'll be less hesitant
It's nice, pretty, smooth 🥰
I've learned it over many years of drain bamage 
Very smooth 
Of course we have an emote for that 
Would the water be hot? In Rainworld I mean
no
if it was, it wouldn't be falling
and its not falling due to how much moisture there is in the air bc it seems to all fall at once, tho that could just be bc of pebbles steaming out in waves
Would it be cold
The water vapor clouds would presumably be hot, but the rain would need to condense before it falls, thus it'd be normal temperature
The heat from the clouds would dissipate up, most likely making the atmosphere (the air) very hot, but not the water itself
So cold rain
I.E. if you were above the clouds, you'd get a strong-ass updraft
Sweaty scug
"Cold" being defined as cool enough to condense, so below boiling
still could be extremely hot
:/
Should I make the water warm in my fic. I already wrote it to be cold
nah cold works
I already wrote it in to be painful
I think it contrasts nice with the hot temperature plus the (most likely) pleasant coolness contrasting with the impending danger
Ok
I mean the rain isn't pleasant to inv. He hates it.
How would you describe monster kelp?
like when a cat eats grass and pukes it back out, only lined up in a long string and moving
I’m sorry I just popped in here and I read this as “I like when a cat…”

I’m like what
i hated that whenever my cat used to do that
To each their own i suppose 
always just eating grass
OMG, I love it when my cat throws hairballs!!! 😊 😊 ☺️
Throws makes me think that is is either literally throwing them or vomiting them with significant velocity 
Who am I to argue with one’s Special Interest

Colony update...time for a new colony again. Dragons killed everyone
And it was going so well also...

No more dragon mod. Dragon people yes, dragon dragons...no
TOAST OFF AND GO EAT THE RHINOS YOU BIG SCALY BASTARD
WHY THE COLONISTS AND GUESTS?!
In other news, think I figured out why the custom Scavengers weren't showing up... Had them as hippies, woops!
OKAY, new colony plan: No dragons, build a bleeping wall, get siege weapons researched sooner rather than later, avoid mass cas events
Any objections?
Also... discovered that green lizards don't like fire. Wonder if that extends to other lizards as well...
A cold blood hates warmth? 
well in that case it might be too much warmth
Oh 
Actually how the hell does the Monster Hunter universe survive?

I may never play it but it's bizarre that there are creatures that could survive everywhere
Because one dragon beat the snot out of four people. Two with knives, the other two shooting it with a high caliber revolver and a shotgun
In a hut

So...if it can survive that in close quarters and Monster Hunter has things literally swimming in flipping lava...
Does the hammer deal huge damage than sword? 
In Monster Hunter?
Greatsword is literally the most damage focused weapon the game, followed by hammer bonking things in thr head
Yes 
damn, I thought hammers for heavy armor
Personally prefer momentum more than heavy hitters. Can't take damage if you don't get hit
Must tank the damage 

And trust me as a guy who's been playing the games for a long time, tanking is not in your favor against things that can make localized earthquakes or burn forests down
We are humans, we were born to inherent the stars 
But I still hold no experience in the game so 
Now that I think about it...there is maybe one other dragon mod I could check out...
Toothless did show up and...ruin things a bit
But that wasn't a Nightfury...
Maybe I swap dragon mods???
Maybe it's just another dragon named Toothless
As I said over the weekend, game just chose the name
There can't be anymore nightfuries if they are nearly extinct 
I got the golden strawberry for Celeste 2B
nootstare reigns supreme
Booo
Hunter has the best reaction why aren't they in the top 4
hunterglee is keeping up
Les go

Les? 
all peak

Celeste too hard >:(
It is 
Remember to take breaks
It’s very easy to pick right back up!
huh, odd the top ones for me are completely different
Nah not until I get the golden strawberry
or are these personal top emojis?
Golden strawberry?
I have the same top in rain world
Wow
I think they’re showing their most frequently used
I don't know why
is so high for me
Yeh I'm Celeste
The fish emoji is climbing my frequenting list 🐟
H🐟
Hello it's me hidden gem
@open matrix , I finished it 
seems like I'm succumbing to the deadly combination of a common cold + my existing dust allergy + sleeping somewhere with a lot of dust( working far away from home for a couple of days so I had to)

Stay strong 
Thabk yuo...
The hard times are always trying to catch up
Must stay strong against this tide
I thought i was getting better, but a single night of dust ruined all that
Curse thy dust
Find something that could fight against allergies
channel your suffering into writing
👀


@edgy scroll , do you play CotL?
I'm watching a playthrough of it...

So far...
||Boss 1 and 2 are standard, pretty prideful idiots who don't really know their places.||
||Boss 3 is a fucking coward.||
||And cult be culting.||

||but for me, despite being a coward, he is a tough bastard
||
nah... it looks interesting, but I ain't got a lot of time for gaming, so I mostly keep to games I already know I like
I see
aight, gonna wait for Amany
the cotl fic?
forget it, i just saw the messages above my own, send it over whenever
Aight, dming now
Hmm, a friend (irl) just started attempting to make a 'freestyle/homebrew dd' for our group and is now deciding on a theme/background
Me: resisting the urge to mention rain world
do it, you know you want to
Nobody in my group (except one) knows about RW though 
explain it to them/j
Tempting but I'll refrain for now. maybe they already have some ideas and I don't wanna influence those too much
Just say "Rain" and let them be confused 
you mean D&D? or is dd something else?
it is your duty as a RW player to get other people to play RW
'tabletop rpg' would be more accurate I guess?
We probably won't use actual D&D rulesets or something like that
real one for that chief... D&D doesn't even make my top 5 ttrpgs
what systems you looking at?
DnD is commonly used as a TTRPG umbrella term
I'm not the GM here so not sure, but i think it's a homemade one 
it is, and I don't like that it is... but nothing I can do about it
full homebrew? you have a very ambitious gm
We'll see if this all will work out or not I guess...
if it's with friends and the vibe is chill, the system can be pretty crap and you'll still have a good time, in my experience
so, no worries, eh?
You guys got DnD 
a rain world dnd thing would be fun, tho, really rain world anything would be fun
im sure someone here has made aomething like rain world DND
I got a depressing fighter, should he be fit?
there's a server for it, even! they have an entire homemade system that is... very intricate... not bad, but not to my taste from what I saw of it
ah, someone as recent as may 18th was talking about a rain world dnd campaign
hold up, they do?
you want a link?
i mean, another fine addtion to my collection
to put it in my RW folder, or my DnD folder?
Can mobile run? 
depressing fighter fits in any campaign I have ever run or played in, tbh

Must put a depressing ass fighter
a party i DM for has an army of kobolds
Also, there has definitely been talk about RW campaigns more recently than may 18th, I feel like I bring it up every couple weeks
...that being, that I kind of want to run a RW campagin for people from this server
you have a few people here in stories who have already expressed interest in DnD
I heard DnD for so long that idk how to play it
well there's me, then there's maybe Eqochs, then idk about Stray
Must have other races than just humans 

but I'd have to put together a few rules of my own, and find time, and figure out who would actually get involved... it's a big project.
(but then again, that rainy games thing did kind of materialize out of nowhere, so maybe it's not so impossible, eh?)
and like half of them you can play as
Finally, I can be more than just a plain ass human
it's 90% making stuff up and cracking jokes and 10% rolling dice
stories is becoming its own discord server at this point
Dice.... Good 
hehe
our own little corner
I had experience of dice rolls but not dnd dice rolls
This would be fun if I can play 
we're making our own little events
everything I run uses digital dice, just so you don't get your hopes up on that front
Digital... Even more challenging 
Bad thing i got only my phone 
do you have your own virtual TTRPG setup ?
ye, it's called discord, dice bots, and google docs
dang
Soon, I must join the ranks if I can play dnd
roll20 for when I wanna get tactical
With a kobold rogue I hope
which is rarely, because I find roll20 super clunky
there are many dnd discord servers our there, one i was in had a LFG page, you can also find people in r/LFG on reddit
i think there's a r/LFGDnD
man, anton... I honestly wish there was an open slot in one of the games I'm currently running already. you seem like you'd be fun to have as a player!
if i have time chief
The dawn of sophomore has began
I think time zones might be an issue as well... I usually start my games when you would be waking up
understandable, boss 
maybe someday I'll be able to run a RW themed game for the people in this server that happens to be in some kind of magical quantum time-state that allows various people from different timezones to all participate without issue
i think i can host a RW dnd at somepoint, doing stuff on weekends would allow most people a bit of wiggle room on their waking hours
it would be funny if someone jumped into like #983136935084187698 and found a bunch of people playing DnD
I was thinking the same thing
school starts this week for me so i can prob see what i have time for around then
and a lot of discussion would have to happen about the time
Not comfortable with a microphone, sorry.
hmm... well, if you're gonna step up and run it... it's much easier to just show up and roll some dice as a player
I don’t think I can be in.
understandable
vc text chats exists (not trying to drag you in, just suggesting a work around)
hmmm... I'm definitely at least a bit intrigued of the possibility of this happening
so, if I'm not lingering around whenever this starts to crystallize, feel free to @ me
alright, i will, guess you're heading off to bed or something?
That reminds me.......

no please don't do it
not the secret runes

well you see, i have to do this thing tonight so i can't sleep
Aight, you pass
Gonna go to coleg anyway 
But remember, always take rest when needed
Good for writing 
good luck getting noleg
I will, soon, soon...
still might be able to get a little more done on this project
Whoops, something came up and I had to go...
seems like I missed some discussion on RW TTRPG? That sounds interesting
yes, yes you did, we plan on coming back to this concept later
okay i started playing, till now really fun, tho i do have to say that the camera movement makes me feel sick
im activly taking breaks every 10 to 20 minutes so my head dosent hurt, kinda sad becasue the movement is really smooth and fun if you zip all over the place, but i play slower just so its easier on the head.
but the animaiton in that game??? lord, its so pretty. the way everything reacts when you move throuhg it is greast and the thing im playing looks so sick when it moves around
so yeah, right now great game, im having fun, now only if my head wouldnt hurt when im playing it
i missed the rpg talk by being asleep 
i have a very neat goblin art i did for the current thing im a part of in another server 
Curse the different time zone 
If only the earth were flat 
You can't convince me

look im so cool 
I still can't draw 
Oh how do you draw
Now it's time to put that muse of yours to work then 
i havent stopped drawing since 1st grade (all i would draw in 1st grade is hermit crabs) 
Despite my muse is torturing me (my kneecaps were broken) I still can't draw
And here's the proof
level five and only 20 health 
thats why you keep goin and trying
Not bad tho!
Welp, time to divert writing to art
Everyone gotta start somewhere
opens brain and divert the resources into art
you aint born knowing color theory or smth. blast yer drawings with time and effort 
very satisfying when you finally finish a piece that took hours to do
frustrating in a fun way
i am wholly unsure
i kinda just threw myself at shit and forced myself to work through it
Welp
"you WILL hate it right now, but it'll look better later"
real
If this is what your first attempts look like I’d say you’ve got talent :3
I mean my first* piece already took hours 
Hell of a first piece though, it was awesome
Thank you!
Find something you want to draw I guess?
Ask muse 
No, no more 
They are breaking my bones help
eventually it gon go from eight hours to 3 when you keep at it
what i meant
Not that I can draw but muse is definitely a gremlin who refuses to pay rent in my head
I gotta practice more then 
That piece also has like, 40 layers 
Muse comes and goes as they please, and left a lot of things in our mind's working space 
it seems my first krita piece has 16 or 18 layers... hmm...

But I cannot do digital art 
That ain't the Crusader I'm familiar with... Who's this?
Bandit 
Unmasked Bandit
You can scan/take a picture of your own paper drawing and retrace that digitally for practice!
I tried once and I can't trust myself with my fingers 
I also have a shaky hand so I can't really draw with a mouse...
I have a very old drawing tablet from like 2013 so I use that for some part and fill in with line tool/etc , but that thing is only usable on the left half 

i am a bezier curve tool abuser 
Lemme draw an anthro again
It's been so long I haven't draw something that isn't a furry
I dont actually know how use that tool 
theres tutorials for evrything online nowadays 
just checked, apparently mine was 12hr 28 min with 9 revisions 
yall I got my fucking adhd meds rejoice
they're new though so.... we'll see if they fucking work
230$ for a month asdghdhjas

Tell me if they do
i really hope they do

@scenic escarp okay so if i wanna keep the robe the orange i see only 2 real ways, with the body being either teal or purple
Put colors on separate layers, recolor to experiment
Perhaps a chrome-kind of effect, to create teal and purple?
i just plopped the colors in the rough shape and looked at it 
bold of you to assume i can do that
(VERY extreme mockup, yes it does look shit)
... maybe you're right 
BUT WE CAN DREAM... and strive... 
BLOB... 
also it would be funny if the ms paint looking ahh iterator with no shading had gradient and chrome effects 
You can always plop down the simple ref and say, in description, that they're iridescent like beetle, nothing stopping other people from drawing them like that 
Because what's to stop you from envisioning them how you want? :D
Hhhh they're both cute
me, for i am my greatest enemy /j
left one looks a tad bit close to moon tho
Leaning towards teal body
True - But don't all iterators look quite similar?!
even better before that i tried teal body with purple symbol as a dot (placeholder) and then i went like "wait a second" 
Create another distinguishing feature?
i mean this is a placeholder and the symbol will be more detailed but i just thought that was funny
oh right, antennas, i knew i was missing sth
Looks like shuttle suits are also called pumpkin suits, that's something potentially to work with
Or additional long wires coming out of their body, their sides
Wait, is that not what the suits do 
Hol up I gotta research deeper
hm?
i mean those are less so EVA suits and moreso flight and life support suits iirc
the "not making much sense" was more "why would the ancients make it like this"
Ahhh I see
Consider: did the Ancients ever make sense 
i mean i guess if they wanted to give the puppet its own life support in case of de-hermetization
though there are some questionable things to that
They did prefer form over function, so it could be decorative
dangling wires
yeah just have them float in the chamber what's the worst that could happen
(These are all just food for thought for you to take inspiration where you choose)
Color picking is hard 
Allow me to tweak the colors?
yeah sure
i mean i think the best combo so far is the "totally-not-LTTM"
i could do that but i'd have to make sure there are some differences
blue coat could look pretty
the orange tones for face and shading
the pink for highlights?
or pink for coat details?
not sure
shading
yeah, right...
Desaturating one or two of the colors may help
okay okay
no shading, oragnge for face details then?
which orange?
I think purple and orange can work, but they are complementary colors so it’s a striking combo
id take the darker one, tho i would need to see how it all looks together first
well this abandons the symbolism i kinda wanted but fuck it, looks quite nica actually?
... aaaaaaaaaand i'm ripping off SRS 
First is yours a tad desaturated, second was my take on Amany's idea, and third is freestyle
switch em?
I really like the idea behind the orange robe though 
uhhh, third one looks nice
i ment the oranges
yeah that was a bit of symbolism i wanted but it appears that all the "orange robe" nice color combos are occupied 
do you want your eyes to burn?
always
FLASHBANG OUT
IT CAN WORK
Bronze/copper body, blue accents? 👀
hmm the first one perserves the idea quite well, i like it (also that is not the pattern i intended, i just kinda threw it on to see it as a secondary
)
id probably do sth like that
Develop! Defined shapes will help you see the overall colors better
at least if you want the orange coat
aaaaaaaaand now we have dollar store moon 
Bestie, Crown is like dollar store Sliver, it's okay 
specifically the eye-burning orange cause that's the flightsuit color but honestly nebula colors seem more easy on the eyes
yeah but crown got badass KV... things
and that is dolar store pebbs, oragne coat makes that thing difficult with the colors you got
You've answered your conundrum: Waves needs more cook time 
"how to rip off every iterator with just 4 colors" 
only one you didnt get is nsh, but that guy is just green
Gotta go prep lunch, but if y'all are still going with this I'll definitely be back
not me, i should be in bed already but have fun!
Hello
tho about the colors, do you need these for or can you just rerole one of em? maybe either the pink or blue since both are just to similar to pebbs and moon
hm, abandon complicated schemes, 2 prominent nebula colors, i think we are onto something?
hello
Hi
what about the orange coat?
if i flip the colors i get discount moon again 
honestly i can forgo the orange coat
i at first wanted orange coat and cream colors but then went "that's just sliver"
orange cout does scract pink and blue for you, true
and any cream too
and sliver, right
"DAMN YOU, CANNON" /j
bro looks traumatised
she has seen the horrors of war
okay, gimmi other colors, i cant work with those
not at all
dang
... actually
sliver has a more light robe
and i'm not taking into account antennas
not sure if i prefer white eyes or not
also ignore the markings, i just want to see how well the color works over the entire face
noooooooo we're back to budget moon 
it is quite close to that
also if you make the antennae really distinct, not like me, that also changes her
What are all these blobby creatures I see in misc?
trying to slam together an iterator color palette without ripping off any other iterator 
All the good palettes are taken, just make five pebbles again
you know what, fuck it, dismiss all "this is just sliver" allegations, i'm gonna make the antennas distinct 
i think i'm commiting to this one
i just realized i suck with antennae
light purple base / white patterns, light-colored or white antennae with purple accents, golden yellow and lighter yellow cloak /suggestion -Rody
okay, that really looks like her
unique face marks and antennae will do the job tho
the one big issue is i want the cloak to be of a specific color, and, unfortunately, this color just so happens to be used by at least 3 basegame iterators
</3 good luck bestie -Rody
btw if anyone was curious to what i mean it looks like this
yeah i'm gonna do different facemark and big antennas, honestly should work but i think it is too late for me to actually do it
looks cute
hey that's a funky guy
Maybe give the cloak a gradient to another color/shade that makes it look distinct?
Iterator cloaks have gradients in game anyway
I like this one a lot
yeah well guess who else has a gradient
/nm
hello stories
hello
I also like the light blue and don’t think it looks too much like moon
A gradient to a different color 
you could gradient the cloak orange / lightish pink if you wanted (i'm assuming orange is the keeping color)
i'd kinda prefer the cloak to stay one specific color i totally know how to make a gradient 
This is your salvation
it'll suuuuuuuurely work out if i just try to make it distinct enough, right? 
Meowth lookin ass /KIDDING
Pretty
yeah i'm gonna just try to make the antennas and other features distinct and pray 
hopefully i will not recieve "this is SoS" claims 
though i will have to get to actually making it tomorrow
Sliver of Straw herself is gonna come back from the dead and copyright strike you
Dustier purple?
Banan drew a whole little man
maybe give the cloak some extra details to make it more different?
okay this actually contrasts damn well while not ripping off any iterator 
Banan and I were sharing a braincell 
solar panels 
Your colors are just too saturated tbh
Look at those flappers
i'm no good at art 
yeah cause every other iterator does that too apparently lmfao
They're going to space
but yeah the orange and dull purple go really well (gonna not use the gradient tho), thanks 
gonna try and actually make it real tmr or sth
speaking of tomorrow, i have to leave, should have done so earlier tbh, 4 am shift calls and i need sleep
No gradient…. Stripe??
I should use stripes more often because DAMN 
My intention would have been solid color but you are balling
Guhhh… get some rest, then
Oh also that mark is just a placeholder, it's gonna be more detailed, I just threw a dot there as a test
Stripe ❤️
you guys make me wanna either make more ittys or draw fer people 
This fit honestly looks like actual clothes that you would wear while just like… I dunno, going to some kind of harvest fair or something?
Also…. Satellite antennae
Draw fer someone, you say?
i dont like drawing fer myself half the time
Candy corn 
Solar power 🔥 🔥
RADIATORS WOOOOO 🗣️🔥
Can’t unsee candy corn now rip
i love candy corn
Sliver is sometimes called candy corn... it all comes full circle 
If you’re feeling up to it, I would love a drawing of one of the crew from TR
If not, that’s fine, though!
NOO NOT THE SOS ALLEGATIONS AGAIN /j
you have references i can steal look at? 
Nope! The only one that’s ever been represented visually is Brass
blast me with ideas in like dms or art discussion then. otherwise ill go silly on my own 
You'd be drawing just the puppets or the background as well?
it'd take longer but i could attempt backgrounds 
i probably need the opportunity to practice some anyways
how did you know i thought of drawing em before 
I’ve sent you some notes
I got the golden strawberry for 8C in Celeste (before 3,5,&7 C)
how does chat feel about a DnD campaign at some point?
Haven't played and I don't call ppl on discord or anywhere on the internet
Seems nice, but I doubt we'd ever be able to coordinate one
Yeh
im sure I can get some sort of coordination
It would probably be quite slow tho
MORNING 
COLLEGE IN WEDNESDAY ONLY OCCURS AT 5 PM 
But isn't 5pm outside of business hours?...

Well we have class from 5 pm to 8:30 pn
But I seriously love Geography 
Food chat, we cookin sinigang

Hello
Geography?
sinigang
A soup 
My dog is bouncing and barking (or ruffing) and whining in her sleep
Maybe she's dreamin
Chasing something while sleeping 
Radish 
Not really
I may be like veggies but not all like them 
What's your favorite and least favorite veggie table
Bitter gourd with eggs= favorite
Plain vegetable soup= least
That is not a gourd
That is a melon that looks nothing like a melon besides green
I HATE CELESTE 5C SCREEN 1!!!
Well we call em those 
What is your least favorite vegetable tho
How could you hate plain(clear?) vegetable soup 
The best food for when one is sick.
sorry I only eat it when I'm sick
Or paired with salted fried fish
Plain veggies soup
Ok but what actually is your least favorite vegetable.
Usually plain veggie soup has white/chinese cabbage so Im guessing that?
Nah, no cabbage
Soup is not a vegetable
We have pumpkin, eggplant, string beans, bitter gourd, and some leaves
fine, some steamed veggies
Pumpkin is vegetable?
I'm just gonna pretend you said steamed veggie
Sorry to hear that steamed veggie is your least favorite vegetable
That sounds very complicated/luxurious for a clear veggies soup in my book 

Usually I use white cabbage, spring onion, maybe very thinly sliced carrot, and add like egg tofu, minced pork for the soup
So corn? 

Wow, all I did was random bs go and then placed it with shrimp paste
Shrimp...paste?
Bitter gourd is very hard to make delicious tho.
Put it with eggs 

It's probably not very common outside of the regions here i guess
Bleh
I have no opinion because I'm allergic to shrimp anyway 

Same 
Am allergic to dust
Nah I don't clean
I'm fine as long as I don't move the dust
Haven't written any story today
Wait ... Then why..
I hate a.i ads (and a.i.)
I'm planning to write a lot today, hopefully that actually happens
I like shrimp
Despite the consequences of having itchy nose or sneezing frequently
Hmm
In quite a bit the sleep police will come to visit 
But I'm playing Celeste
Hm..... Aight cool 
Also I went to bed at 11 yesterday
Ah...
For me, shrimp(and any shell-ish seafood) makes my mouth and lips really swollen and itchy, so I just can't 

Shellfish would make us suffer 
Man. It took me just as long to beat Celeste 3C as 8C
Now I have to replay and do the golden strawberry
I may not know what that is but keep up 
Golden strawberry means beating the whole level with no deaths
C side despite being the hardest are the shortest levels in the game. Having only 3 screens
A perfect run then? Keep up 
But I guess 3 screens that you could die veey easily? 
Yeh
B sides are still difficult tho for most rooms
Almost all of a sides are easy except a few rooms
And by easy I mean after playing the game for 80 hours
I actually have it in the steam library but haven't played past the tutorial yet.(And that was years ago) 
Hmm, maybe soon, I don't have another 'hard' game in queue right now anyway( except RW ofc)
Hmm, I'd say so. I've played Cave Story, HK, (is RW still Platformer?) and a Hat in Time
Is katana zero a platformer?
Yes Rainworld is a platformer.
You've never played a Mario game?
Yes according to the internet
Then yes 
Well, I did finish the first super mario bros. I guess, but not any games after
That personally offends me
I haven't had a console anymore ever since like I was 10 or something 
Nintendo games are mostly out of my reach
It took 2 years for cuphead to come to switch :(
Can't have crap either 
You're missing out a little
What is that and is it good?
Kinda being a dude knows to wield katana, one shot any enemy, dash through traps and obstacles, slow down time at will and if all else fails, going back to the start or to the checkpoints
But boss fights kinda okay
Is everything else good or is everything else bad?
And there is a replay system of how you did it with or without slow mo
Kinda good 
Can you beat the game?
Hmmm
That's how I feel about the Rainworld ending
Have you played Rayman Legends?
Never heard or played it sadly 
Heard of it but haven't played it

I got a $20 Nintendo e shop gift card

@limber latch welp, done it
cool
I now see many different things now 
kind of cool right? the game has changed
for better or for worse though?
kind of feel like I should probably play with you now... but I have something else that I should probably be doing
uhhh 
Like sleeping?
kicks down door
This is the sleep police!
🫵 🛏️
👉 🛏️
I would like to play among us with y'all sometime. But... I'm supposed to be asleep

someone should ping me next time food is posted here

Take thine rest
Let me know if you want to play sometime
ok! guess I'll remember to ping you when I need more players again 
Cool
YOULL NEVER CATCH MEEEE
(this happens often because I don't like random randoms)
Thanks
Goodnight
Oi, get back ere this instant
Yer under arrest in name of my majesty (which is the muse who kept torturing me)
🫵 🛏️
👉 🛏️
I AM STAYING UP
Oi- can't catch a slippery criminal 
i lied i am going to bed now 
the hard times work of the sleep police
Aight, off to bed

Even though I am not allergic—I think—I won’t eat shrimp, outside ebi tempura and ebi furai, and even those have to be great. It just tastes strange to me, in a way I’m not sure I like.
Shrimp also is high in cholesterol, maybe that gives its unique taste that some people like i guess
Can't have every shellfish without getting scold by my mum 
Since we yell at muses a lot, are they Yoda or Palpatine?
On one hand, creativity
On the other..."LET ME FINISH ONE THING AT A TIME"
The muse controls me, help
At least the muse let you be productive this way 
no 
It gave me many projects and fics
Isn't that good
Too much 
what has your muse done?
oh you started a new one

Ye
Why do I feel like this is my bad???
Scavenger rain deer hunting fic??? Good start
Well someone in the WOAF (
) mentioned it
Bug chat I found a pretty beetle!
Green beetle 
Big and green. There were two!


no clue dawg -Rody
