His Fate in Small Hands

[modern dew]

But you could systematically exterminate everything- we know they had the capability to do that

[silk stirrup]

Killing them wouldn't release them from the cycle, only the void sea can do that (saint too I suppose)

[modern dew]

I meant exterminating through void sea ofc

[silk stirrup]

Exterminating everything, including microbes, seems a little impossible?

[modern dew]

They built the Iterator, capturing all multicellular life and throwing it into the void ocean wouldent be that difficult I think

[grave rune]

That's sorta why I subscribe to the idea that the iterators were built to try and change the laws of the universe.

It'd be like us trying to go faster than light. We can imagine it, have a concept for it, but in all likelihood, we aren't gonna break our universe's speed limit.

[modern dew]

Microbes yeah those would be impossible though

[errant narwhal]

Or make pipe systems all over the planet and siphon the void fluid up here to flood everything

[dire fossil]

Sounds inefficient.

[grave rune]

There would still be microbes in the atmosphere

[errant narwhal]

Making Iterators implied they didn't care about efficiency tho

[grave rune]

In what way?

[dire fossil]

The Iterators wouldn’t have really liked that idea.

And the Ancients would likely see reason in the gods they built.

[errant narwhal]

Hm, that does seem like an unreachable goal by conventional mean....

[civic shuttle]

I wish we had a little more solid information on what the iterators were built for tbh

Like the reasoning

[dire fossil]

A bit of a derail, Sig’s the kind of person to go “Double Affirmative”.

Send out scugs.

[grave rune]

Pff

The real origin of Saint

[dire fossil]

It’s portable, generally applicable, but not the solution.

[grave rune]

Yeah... it leaves a lot up to interpretation

[errant narwhal]

Why make Iterators standing tall into the sky and not into the ground or submerged in ocean? They can manage heat problem way better than using water conduit thing, and even using that, why not build them more closely to the ground. Pumping all that water up the Legs can't be easy

[silk stirrup]

It's directly stated they were built to solve the great problem, later on some were built for housing purposes (five pebbles)

[grave rune]

Though keeping it vague also gives opportunities for different writings

[silk stirrup]

I suppose they needed a lot of computational power

[civic shuttle]

Well yes

But the great problem/solution is less clear

And the reason they went through all of this to create them for it even less so

[silk stirrup]

Know that this does not make you special - every living thing shares that same frustration. From the microbes in the processing strata to me, who am, if you excuse me, godlike in comparison.

The good news first. In a way, I am what you are searching for. Me and my kind have as our purpose to solve that very oscillating claustrophobia in the chests of you and countless others. A strange charity - you the unknowing recipient, I the reluctant gift. The noble benefactors? Gone.
Pebble's survivor dialogue

[errant narwhal]

If there were any real benefits to making them tall other than instilling the image of 'grand, divine' being, they didn't make use of it

Like, better air ventilation? They used fluid conduit instead ...

[grave rune]

Might've had something to do with religious beliefs, or the logistics of building under the water.

Have an underwater iterator OC who was never completed because they were a logistical nightmare

[civic shuttle]

They’re computers

Overheating

[errant narwhal]

Well, I brought this up because I don't think the ancients really cared about the efficiency.

[modern dew]

I think you could argue better steam dissipation, but the best awnser is probably that the planners allready had a hunch this would make thr surface uninhabitable

[civic shuttle]

Water was probably just too difficult logistically

In ground they would bake

[silk stirrup]

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Kz4pEWDmIUdQhAQLlN5gr8CWaOSuwGv9UNlBrwPLSug
This document on the iterators and the great problem is quite good

[civic shuttle]

They would not be terribly heat tolerant given how many biological components they seem to have

[grave rune]

It probably also had something to do with how they were made, with both bio and mechanical components.

Humans can run server farms quite comfortably in closed rooms.

[civic shuttle]

This is quite a bit bigger than a server farm

And the human isn’t inside the rack

[obsidian epoch]

I have an Iterator who got built on an acid reservoir because the filtration system could extract Void Fluid that way out of the enriched acid without the fear of the pipes getting corroded as quickly as they would be if they would pump up straight Void Fluid.
Consequences? What consequences?

[civic shuttle]

None at all

Just a little heartburn, nbd

[obsidian epoch]

'please inform the next mechanic to fix the exterior piplines, Thank you.'

[dire fossil]

Problem is that the heartburn is more literal than figurative.

[errant narwhal]

Totally sustainable! As long as there are maintenance schedules in place

[obsidian epoch]

||Not like she got planned while the first living block ascencions already happend. Nobody could expect that there soon would not be anyone anymore left to keep her alive.||

But I am getting, off-thread

[errant narwhal]

Anyway, I admit I don't know enough to continue about the heat dissociation methods and their efficiency, but I'll stand by my view that iterators design is just absurd and doesn't feel efficient at all

[civic shuttle]

Fair

[tawny viper]

Just slap on a bunch of radiators, it works in space, why not here?

[errant narwhal]

I also don't know how exactly radiators work

[tawny viper]

Water flows through and cools by exposure i believe

[errant narwhal]

Ah. From the name I thought it was some kind of foldable/large surface area for heat to radiate out or something....

[tawny viper]

Yeah that's how it works

Well I guess there are also the Curie point radiators which are funny but require 0g i believe

Oh hey i'm a survivor now

[tawny viper]

Oh wait that sounds sarcastic. I guess I explained badly?

[errant narwhal]

I joined this server for more than a year and I'm still a monk

[errant narwhal]

Oh no I really thought rhat

I mean, i was imagining some kind of metal rods and sheets extending out and just let heat dissipates by radiation

[tawny viper]

Well it is a foldable surface through which you pump coolant for the heat to radiate (image related)

Though there are many versions of the radiator

[tawny viper]

It's more like a panel

[civic shuttle]

Works like the ears of a kangaroo/elephant!

Blood is cooled by being exposed to air temp

[errant narwhal]

I see. So maybe despite the name it uses both radiation and that other method of heat dissipation? The one using medium transfer or something?

[tawny viper]

except way bigger cause space is a fuck and heat dissipation sucks there

[civic shuttle]

Haha yes

[tawny viper]

I mean I have not thought about it much but I guess?

[civic shuttle]

Well blood is typically body temperature. So when it loses heat to the air that lowers overall body temp. Same concept ;3

[tawny viper]

There are also the kinda kagnetic radiators where you heat metal and let it float, and at some point it regains its magnetic capabilities and is drawn back by magnets

So Curie point radiators

[civic shuttle]

When it flows deeper it warms again, only to cycle back to be brought to the surface and lose more heat to the air

[errant narwhal]

Ah

[tawny viper]

Yeah I mean most of the cooling methods are "let's just move this heat somewhere else"

[errant narwhal]

Also that's unexpected? I thought with space being void of energy, heat could transfer faster?

Maybe heat dissipation through medium is faster huh...

[tawny viper]

Yeah it's funny that space is cold as FUCK but you are more likely to overheat there

No medium so it's hard to dissipate

[errant narwhal]

Why space physics is unintuitive

[tawny viper]

Well I mean

You could also expel the heat by dumping coolant

But that's not really sustainable

Gee this really is off topic

[errant narwhal]

Yeah sorry...

[civic shuttle]

All of them

[tawny viper]

Eh I mean as long as banan is fine with it...

[civic shuttle]

That’s just physics. Move it somewhere else or transfer to another form of energy

[tawny viper]

"Future generation problem"

[civic shuttle]

I don’t mind!

[tawny viper]

Space is funky

[dire fossil]

Heat, at the atomic level, is kinetic energy.

So, by having less atoms to transfer the energy to, the energy dissipates less.

It’s actually decently intuitive.

[tawny viper]

I mean yeah space has a medium, it's just really dispersed so it barely transfers

Forgot about that

The atoms have nothing to transfer their v i b e s to /ref

[civic shuttle]

You should teach gen alpha

This is hilariously accurate

[tawny viper]

Nah that's taken from some yt video, one sec

[errant narwhal]

totally forgot that part...

[tawny viper]

https://youtu.be/25y3zj3cBgs?si=3377JhNreXpifQrD
Roughly 23:22

Honestly as much shitpost-y and meme-y these 4 videos from this "series" are, they are suprisingly educational

Stuff like orbital mechanics and shit, explained in a funky way

[civic shuttle]

I’m gonna watch these actually

Just not rn :3

I love science videos

[tawny viper]

Yeah it's cool just start from the 1st one (duh)

[civic shuttle]

I usually watch nature/physics/space stuff before I go to bed

[tawny viper]

It's basically KSP gameplay mixed with shitposts mixed with actual learning of some stuff

[civic shuttle]

I wanna play KSP actually

[errant narwhal]

oh how i missed KSP...

[tawny viper]

It is pretty fun if you can grasp orbital mechanics, just make sure you get the 1st one

[civic shuttle]

Well I’m no rocket scientist

But I did eventually figure out how to fly the spacecraft in outer wilds

Eventually…

[tawny viper]

You might be in for a rough ride?

[civic shuttle]

I’m no stranger to bashing my head on a wall!

Speaking of

I made it to pure vessel for the first time last night in HK. Now I get to bash my head on that wall!

[woven ocean]

i need to pick hk back up i havent played it in years because i got stuck on the first hornet fight when i was 15

[civic shuttle]

Play it then you can read my crackship RW/HK crossover fic

[woven ocean]

true

[errant narwhal]

congrats! the theme for that fight is a really nice callback

[civic shuttle]

It’s so good

[civic shuttle]

Hornet is the first roadblock for a lot of people

But if you can beat her

You can beat the game I believe 100%

Also hollow knight didn’t connect with me until I got to the city of tears

That’s the moment when I realized ‘oh shit… this game is amazing’

[errant narwhal]

||the plaque at the statue?||

[civic shuttle]

||the moment with quirrel, sitting at the bench, watching the rain through the glass. Followed by descending into the city where the music swells, and then wandering over the statue….||

I think that’s where it clicked with me that there was far more to this world than I realized

But I am an absolute sucker for ruined civilizations

Greenpath was where the game got fun

City of tears is where it had completely grabbed me

I still find the opening hours really boring. I hate not having dash

[tawny viper]

Here it's more bashing your head against staging, rocket design and orbital mechanics

:)

[errant narwhal]

I cant say I enjoyed Greenpath very much... but everything past that sure was a wonder

[errant narwhal]

oh before I forget, if you want to bounce some small ideas to make something out of (If you do want to write something) feel free!

[civic shuttle]

Oh same! Feel free to do it here or in stories chat

[tawny viper]

Hm well I did get an idea which, while not original, I don't think was written about?

I'll have to sit on it for a while

[civic shuttle]

Oh? Well, if you wanna talk about it happy to listen ;3 if not I’ll wait and see

[tawny viper]

Uh so basically iterator in space. Why should there be an iterator in space? Uhhhh...

||-> It is already paid for <-
It is under construction
Thirty thousand ancients have died|| /ref

So far i have noted down (in le head) a name, differences and a few other things but not much

[civic shuttle]

Ooooo

What are they researching, up there?

[tawny viper]

Uhh so far idk, either cause "anti grav is high maintneance and we might be able to offset the costs of building in space by not adding anti grav (reasons obvious)" or "too peroccupied with 'could' that we did not think about 'should'"

Which, well, thinking about it, I don't think building in space is cheaper

[civic shuttle]

Building in space is definitely not cheaper! Haha

Lot of things you could do with that, though.

I wonder if there’s a point of distance from the planet where you are no longer a part of the cycle…

[upper drum]

perhaps it would be useful for communications? a sort of "central node" for all comms signals that get bounced to space?

[tawny viper]

Maybe, or maybe an experimental venture

[tawny viper]

Yeah the cycle being tied to the planet could he interesting

[tawny viper]

Maybe orbital assembly and just send the raw materials? Though that would require space infrastructure which i doubt there is and would be a long-term investment, as opposed to a "fuck around and find out"

I mean like it's funny cause you could shave off antigrav but then would need to build huge radiators, reinvent the wheel with the water cycle, deliver resources often, add some point defence and manouvering and shit

Like I imagine they would/will either suffer a terrible failure, run out of resources or burn up in the armosphere not long after the MO

Unless the delivery system is all autonomous, then until that erodes

[tawny viper]

WAIT what if the resource delivery mechanism was another, normal iterator, that could be ultimate angst

BUT I don't think I can write angst if anything and I don't wanna put the lil guy through this :(

Anyways sorry for going off topic, lil bit of rambling over, I think

[proud kindle]

While building in space is certainly not ideal, low grav is. Are you familiar with the space stations in 2001?

[tawny viper]

I mean orbital assembly works well enough i guess. I have not actually watched 2001 but I know what it is about, how do the stations look?

[civic shuttle]

Don’t apologize! I don’t mind at all

If I’m slow to reply it’s because I’m working :3

[civic shuttle]

Banan loves angst….

[proud kindle]

Well, I just got baited. I don't image perms anymore due to me leaving the server, but you're looking for the Orbis Stations from Elite Dangerous. Different design, just scaled up.

[tawny viper]

Aye, no problem at all, i'm not available at all times too

[tawny viper]

Ah, grav rings? Yeah I know of that

Could be a thing

[proud kindle]

Yup.

[civic shuttle]

The slow erosion of their systems… extra drama over a normal grounded iterator

Would they eventually crash back down to the planet

[proud kindle]

You'll want something of the sorts in space. That type of deal could even potentially be 3D printed one day using more durable materials. It has reached TRA 5 last I checked.

[proud kindle]

If their orbit is stable, no. But let's face it, the Ancients despite their brilliance weren't that smart overall...

[tawny viper]

That, cascading failure or no resources left

[tawny viper]

Every orbit decays at some point, no?

[tawny viper]

Or something important dies

[proud kindle]

Very, very slowly. Usually just poorly placed, or poorly designed.

[civic shuttle]

I wonder if this Iterator would have longer broadcast access than the others. Maybe they’re orbiting above they could still talk to the others directly below, despite the (mostly) decayed broadcast systems

Though I’m not sure that makes any sense logically

What fuels them? Solar?

[tawny viper]

Or an errant RCS thruster misfiring?

[proud kindle]

Easily.

[tawny viper]

With the likely power consumption of an iterator i guess rarefaction, antimatter maybe or some other power source, sourced from the planet

[tawny viper]

I mean on one hand less atmosphere and more field of view, on the other possible interfereances from cosmic radiation?

Oh, cosmic radiation

[proud kindle]

Solar or RTG mostly. Would be nothing more than an overgrown coms relay.

[tawny viper]

Hm

[proud kindle]

Iterators are far too big to make the full size in space. The cooling alone is a massive bottleneck.

[civic shuttle]

Solar radiation could be used in their experimentation!

[tawny viper]

That's another possibility for them to die a terrible fate but then they would likely die before MA, reminds me of "project hail mary"

[civic shuttle]

I been trying to sneak Aeolian into an iterator name for a while and now I’m thinking like… Solar winds…

[upper drum]

void-fluid cooling, just push all the heat into void fluid

[civic shuttle]

gotta go though

Feel free to keep chatting in here were between chapters anyway rn so I don’t mind

[tawny viper]

Aims for the Stars?

[tawny viper]

Nah RTG would be too weak i imagine

Rarefaction

Maybe VF is good for propulsion

[civic shuttle]

Aeolian Waves

Anyway byeeee

[proud kindle]

Far, far too weak, I agree. As for rarefaction, that needs matter to power itself. (Actually, I don't recall 100% here. If someone could confirm this)

[upper drum]

wth is aeolian, anyways?

[tawny viper]

Yeah just deliver it i guess

[tawny viper]

Uh how would that work

Or is this like the "magic" approach?

[upper drum]

heat is energy, and void fluid seems to absorb just about everything

energy included

If I had to come up with something on the spot though... some sort of means of superconcentrating heat into a small amount of matter and then putting that into void fluid

turn your MRCs into coolers as well

[tawny viper]

Or i could appease my hard sci fi self and use
r a d i a t o r s

[modern dew]

If it operates anywhere near regular Iterator temperatures thats going to be one massive radiator array

[tawny viper]

Curie point radiator <3

[civic shuttle]

Of or related to wind

It’s just a neat word

[upper drum]

now I know

[tawny viper]

Okay last thing for today i swear, quick note of the most important stuff so I don't forget, subject to change, dunno if i'm gonna actually do anything with it

I think from now on I will do this stuff in main chat but idk

[random pine]

Hail mary? 👀

@tawny viper The book?!?

[tawny viper]

Yes

[random pine]

Eeeeee
That book made me cry

Love the space iterator concept, if you decide to run with it I'll be looking forward to it

[random pine]

||WELL he TECHNICALLY didn't go home ||

[tawny viper]

||not to his one, that is. He just went to stay over at his friend's for a bit (an indefinite quantity of time) ||

The ||confrontation with Straat (I don't recall her name) would have been interesting tho I imagine||

[random pine]

@tawny viper Still can't get over the ||hail mary full of grace pun, that was godtier ||

[tawny viper]

Uh what was that cause I forgot

Been like... half a year since I read?

[random pine]

||Not explicitly stated anywhere, but the ship, and how Grace was its only inhabitant. Hail Mary. Full. Of Grace. (ba dum tss)||

[tawny viper]

Also I might have missed it cause I was not reading it in english

[tawny viper]

... uhh

I'm gonna go look that up real quick

[random pine]

Ahhh that might do it
'Tis opening line of a common prayer

[tawny viper]

OHH okay yeah now that i looked it up I see it

Yeah it just did not click for me

[errant narwhal]

Ahh sorry I fell asleep so didn't see any of this until now.

Hmm, about the logistics thing... How about Space Elevator but it 'unexpectedly' decayed and collapsed because of the extra erosion from dust falling from/moving through space?

[dire fossil]

To that one commenter quoting Hadestown, I want to let you know I love you and would like to be found family with you.

If I had the ability to, I’d marry you, but my heart belongs to another.

[civic shuttle]

What comment?

[dire fossil]

“As Hadestown says of Orpheus and Euridyce, it's the thing about tragedies: "To know how it ends / And still begin to sing it again".”

[civic shuttle]

Ohh that one! I’m not familiar with hadestown but that’s an amazing quote

[dire fossil]

That one.

I fucking love the score of Hadestown.

[civic shuttle]

(You can always reply to their comment and tell them you liked it :3)

[dire fossil]

I’ll get to that later.

Just letting you know, that fan has good taste.

[civic shuttle]

You reminded me I have comments to reply to ahhh

[tawny viper]

I mean, space elevator could work, but would they build it just for a little experimental thing?

[upper drum]

The ancients building some kind of very niche use megastructure for minimal gains? They would never!

[tawny viper]

... touche

[civic shuttle]

Ancients just keep buying those penny stocks

WAIT PEBBLES/MISTAKES LMFAO

[woven ocean]

peble

[civic shuttle]

This one still haunts me

What does it mean….

[dire fossil]

Coming along.

[civic shuttle]

WHAT

Is that it?

[dire fossil]

Or just plain gibberish.

No, I don’t believe that’s it.

[dire fossil]

I think it’s just gibberish.

[civic shuttle]

Eyyy that’s cy

[woven ocean]

this is the only comment my bookmarks have

[civic shuttle]

That’s common

To keep track of what chapter they’re on

Also warning sometime people get mean in bookmark comments

So you know… tread carefully

[woven ocean]

naur....

[civic shuttle]

It’s common that users don’t realize that public bookmarks can be seen on the fic like this so they write whatever

(Or they don’t care)

I’ve seen some really nasty bookmark comments. Like listing everything they hated

[tawny viper]

"This FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT fic is TERRIBLE and I HATE IT, it SUCKS, I hope the author HAS WET SOCKS.

Bookmarked for the future" /nsrs

[civic shuttle]

More or less

I have in the past used private bookmarks to keep track of things I read and didn’t like so I didn’t accidentally reread them in the future

Emphasis on private

[obsidian epoch]

I have it as well :p

[civic shuttle]

legend

[tawny viper]

Wait why is there a disgraphency with the date

[civic shuttle]

It’s on soul’s fic

[obsidian epoch]

Because that’s from CD

[tawny viper]

Huh well I mean that's one way to do it

[civic shuttle]

Cy just left the same comment

[tawny viper]

Oooooooh

[civic shuttle]

Hey when you’re reading like… every fic from a ship to find the good ones you gotta remember which ones you already tried

[tawny viper]

Gee, a full sweep? Lmfao

[civic shuttle]

For a rare pair? Absolutely

[dire fossil]

Any experience with that?

[civic shuttle]

Not on mine yet

Seen on other fics

[dire fossil]

I wonder what comments my bookmarks have!

[tawny viper]

In the rw community or...?

[civic shuttle]

Nope

But I haven’t been digging around in bookmarks much either

[dire fossil]

Two blank.

One with “2”.

[civic shuttle]

90% of bookmarks are blank

[dire fossil]

If I didn’t know what that meant, it’d’ve been real fucking ominous.

[civic shuttle]

Ahaha

[tawny viper]

"Two of what? Puppies?"

[civic shuttle]

2

[dire fossil]

Brain not braining, sorry for the less sensible contractions.

[tawny viper]

I love and hate that it'd've is a real thing

[civic shuttle]

Almost as ominous as gomongalong

[random pine]

2 cycles left Start running /j

[civic shuttle]

it’d’ve been hard to believe if I didn’t already know

[dire fossil]

In my complete and total sincerity, I have no idea what the fuck it could have meant.

[tawny viper]

You mean if you hadn't

[tawny viper]

"2nd chapter"?

[dire fossil]

‘Coming along’ is what I would have suspected.

[woven ocean]

i have the 2 one also

[civic shuttle]

Chap 2 :3

[dire fossil]

But “Gomongalong” is beyond me.

[civic shuttle]

That means you’ve got a reader keeping up!

[woven ocean]

omg...

that's awesome

[dire fossil]

That’s scary as shit.

[tawny viper]

You have just 1

[civic shuttle]

I have a few that aren’t caught up rn and every time I pop in here I look like …have you read latest chapter yet

Banan being a creep

[dire fossil]

Drymm, better start running.

[civic shuttle]

Too late. Lay down and die.

[tawny viper]

"Heyyyyy buddyyyyyyy have you perhaps read the latest chapter yet???? :))))) Nooooo?

start doing that"

[dire fossil]

This is called “if it’s brown, lie down, if it’s black, fight back, if it’s white, good night.”

[civic shuttle]

pushes my face against their window

Have you… read my chapter yet…

[random pine]

Wow!! A friend!!

[woven ocean]

wait come back...why are you running away...read my fic now

[tawny viper]

"Look at this fic"

[dire fossil]

I have knives, and I’m not afraid to use them. No trespassing on private property! /j

[dire fossil]

Yes, I keep up with it.

Yes, I impulsively check every few days.

[civic shuttle]

[dire fossil]

You may ‘stalk’ my bookmark all you want.

Just never show up in front of my door.

[tawny viper]

I have basically every fic i read visible in #stories-discussion threads

[dire fossil]

I’m joking, by the way, but please don’t suddenly show up at my door.

Would be nice if I didn’t show up at your window yelling at you to review my fic.

[tawny viper]

that implies you do that /j

[civic shuttle]

breathes on your window

(/j)

[dire fossil]

Also, regarding the times you can sleep uninterrupted, those days are numbered.

Massive joke.

[civic shuttle]

Jokes on you I have insomnia

I don’t know what that even means

[tawny viper]

Rip

[civic shuttle]

Sleep uninterrupted? Sounds fake

[dire fossil]

Do that one more time, I’ll breathe on your back. /j

[civic shuttle]

Okay that sounds scary

skitters

[tawny viper]

Only issue with my sleep is it is so "shallow" I am very easily woken up and I need good conditions to fall asleep

[civic shuttle]

Ugh same if the slightest irritating this is off then there’s no chance. Sound, temperature, etc

[dire fossil]

I can sleep well. But once I wake up, I can’t get back to sleep after 5 minutes.

[woven ocean]

the real chads wake up several times a night and cant fall asleep until 3 am

[dire fossil]

Enjoy the scratching due today night! /j /nsrs

[tawny viper]

I believe I can't sleep in a car or plane unless the situation is DIRE

[civic shuttle]

I get in bed at 11 or midnight and fall asleep at never

[dire fossil]

Ouch.

The sufferings of adulthood.

Oldest crone running stories discussion is old.

[woven ocean]

i have the darkest circles under my eyes but try as i might my sleep schedule remains unfixed

But try as I might, I couldn’t bring myself to hold you. /lyr

[woven ocean]

ahh the crane wives

[dire fossil]

I’m now a crane wife.

[civic shuttle]

How dare you!

I’m an old crone thank you very much

[dire fossil]

Wait, is ‘geezer’…

Oh.

Oh no.

[tawny viper]

When I hear geezer i think "day in the life of a true brexit geezer"

[dire fossil]

My brain is not braining, apologies!

[civic shuttle]

I will also accept granny, biddy or dame.

[dire fossil]

I assumed ‘geezer’ was neutral.

You may take it up with my brain.

Now where is pebbles/acceptance

[civic shuttle]

Later… maybe

[woven ocean]

ok ok banan i have a question idk if this was ever addressed but

does wish become an echo

[tawny viper]

He better not

[woven ocean]

i need to know

[mint nova]

In a different timeline maybe

There are infinite timelines

[dire fossil]

Don’t say anything, Banan.

[mint nova]

Therefore in one

He's an echo

[woven ocean]

banan please say something

the people wanna know

[dire fossil]

I do, but I think it’s best that we leave him be.

[civic shuttle]

gah

[dire fossil]

Whatever his fate is, he’s done his job. He’s served his god.

[civic shuttle]

What do I do

[woven ocean]

oh no

[dire fossil]

You fool! I know Banans can’t handle decision making well.

[civic shuttle]

Wish’s fate has been considered and determined to be ||[REDACTED]||

[dire fossil]

Oh no. She’s typing!

Thank you.

I have a feeling that we’ll find out. Maybe.

[woven ocean]

BUMP

[civic shuttle]

beemp boomp

[silk stirrup]

Bump

Checked out chapter 6 and found a minor spelling mistake
||She was proud . of her herself, of it. ||

[civic shuttle]

OHHH thank you

I will go fix that

C6 is rough I really need to edit it honestly

I feel like that’s the one you can tell I was rushed…

Fixed

[tawny viper]

Did you run it through some spellcheck?

[civic shuttle]

I wasn’t doing that with these earlier chapters no

All self-edited

[tawny viper]

I'll just...

GRAB

[civic shuttle]

!!!!

Feel free

[tawny viper]

Oh dear

[civic shuttle]

But I will feel no shame in using aeolian in a different name someday…

It’s just so nice we gotta use it twice

[tawny viper]

Still kinda thinking about how to do it, might be on to something but I am running on like 3 hours of sleep

[civic shuttle]

Jot down the ideas!!

Worst case you don’t like them later, but if you don’t write em it’s so easy to forget…

[tawny viper]

What, you mean storing the ideas in my brain is a bad idea? My brain never let me down! (Sometimes, terms and conditions apply)

[civic shuttle]

Well, definitely don’t store them in my brain

That thing is dumb

[tawny viper]

So much empty space means a lot of capacity, no? /j

[civic shuttle]

There’s a whole thought knockin around in there. Sometimes it falls out though

[tawny viper]

Maybe I will be able to write it down today, or trust my brain and go eepy mode

[civic shuttle]

Just jot down the cliff notes version :3

[tawny viper]

I mean I think I have managed to write up an entire opening in my head but I have no clue how good it could be

Cause I think it might begin with a small exposition dump and then honestly I don't know where to go with it

[civic shuttle]

Brainstorm time

Or write the opening and then see if you brain has ideas after

[modern dew]

TBH, I just, write

I've never been good at organising , So I just sit down and type the words of the next thing that I want to. But that might lead to a much less structured text 😅

[civic shuttle]

This is sort of what I do for hfish but I also write lots of a future scenes

I have a pretty good idea in my head and notes of where it’s going but not really an outline

[tawny viper]

My brain did not forget

Still no time to write

[civic shuttle]

[last wharf]

I ended up completely scrapping this shot, so enjoy lmfao

It got replaced by making pebbles dizzy

[civic shuttle]

OH MY FUCKING GOD

wait what the FUCK are you doing?? YOU ARE ANIMATING HFISH STUFF??

ohhh my god

This is so good what the heck

I’m gonna cry on you ahh

[dire fossil]

Holy shit.

[last wharf]

YEAH it's for a... Thing.

[dire fossil]

You have fanart.

[civic shuttle]

thing???

and this is scrapped?

[last wharf]

Unrelated, how do you feel about your ocs being in a map. Asking for a friend

[civic shuttle]

I AM GONNA DIE

[last wharf]

[civic shuttle]

That would be the best thing that has ever happened what the hell

[last wharf]

The funny thing is, ok. So here's the thing

So I was like, I wanna animate. There was a map open for rw ocs and such. Cool cool. Except I don't... Have any ocs. None of my friends have ocs. So I'm like.... Idk, HFISM is cool as hell, I'm using this

Problem is, the hair is so fun to draw??? This is unfair???

[civic shuttle]

No words I’m freaking floored thank you so much

I am gonna fuckin FIND YOU (not really) and CRY ON YOU (maybe actually)

[random pine]

YEAAAAAA HIT THE BANAN WITH ANIM

[civic shuttle]

I don’t know what to do with myself brain can’t process

Only screm

I’m lookin at this like how is this scrapped

God god I wanna learn to animate toooo ahhh

[dire fossil]

Banan.

You have fanart.

[last wharf]

Bro this is an entire phone doodle, I swear I can draw better than this
OH man you should, an animation in your style would DESTROY.

[civic shuttle]

animated fanart

[civic shuttle]

I’ve only ever done pixel animations

[dire fossil]

We need to see.

[civic shuttle]

They’re just lil Pokémon style monster pixels

[dire fossil]

I want to see.

[last wharf]

Frankly you should just, like. Throw yourself at a simple animation and see what comes of it. Give yourself an hour or two (idk how fast you are) and try to have something flap in the wind or whatever

[civic shuttle]

I should… I want to. I only have my iPad to draw on though, idk where to start

[civic shuttle]

I’ll dig em up for you tomorrow

[last wharf]

Oh apple-- idk apple. I hear they got some good stuff. I use something called roughanimator, it's got everything you could need

Or flipaclip if you wanna goof off

(first is paid, the other is free. I forgot roughanimator is paid )

[civic shuttle]

Free is probably best to start with

Lessens the pressure a bit >>

[last wharf]

Yeah frfr. Flipaclip is good anyways, just don't use too many layers

[civic shuttle]

I will need about twenty layers for my stick figures

Everything I draw is layer hell

[last wharf]

Felt that's why I do my sketches on my phone, my "phone artstyle" uses less layers lol

[civic shuttle]

Augh I’m feeling inspired… revved…

[last wharf]

Yesss

One of us, one of us- /j

[civic shuttle]

Here are some :3

[civic shuttle]

Maybe… just maybe

[last wharf]

Called it, I knew these would be amazing

[civic shuttle]

They’re pretty simple though! Not quite like drawing each frame…

But I’ve always wanted to try

[last wharf]

Pixelart is very kind in terms of animation with how reusable bits of the artwork are, yeah. It's a fantastic way to stretch your wings tho.

[civic shuttle]

Pixels are nice because I can do them with a mouse

[last wharf]

mood

You can do pixel animations on mobile devices too, there's a shocking amount of apps for it

[civic shuttle]

On mobile, you say…

I’m snooping your tumblr your art is so good,, I am blessed,,

[tawny viper]

Seems like you have been noticed

Also looks to me like this one and the one here are for one thing, with the one in #rw-oc-gallery★ being first and the one here being right after it

Cause the poses in the end of the 1st one and the start of the 2nd one seem very simmilar

[civic shuttle]

They said they were scrapped scenes. I’m so curious what the final might look like…

[civic shuttle]

I feel so seen

[tawny viper]

[tawny viper]

Yeah but like try watching the one in #rw-oc-gallery★ and then the one here right after the other

Just started, but I can see what you meant, Banan.

Hm by those comments i assume something big happens at the end

||Calloutpost ||

[civic shuttle]

Yo don’t spoil my finale plot twist /j

[civic shuttle]

I promised ||calloutpost||. How did I do, drama fans?

[silk stirrup]

You did very well, certified arti approved

[past idol]

||it feels like we were so close to having calloutpost, only to be stabbed in the back with ragequit, and that in a gen fic ||

but seriouisly, amazing chapter banan, huge kudos, it feels like the quality just keeps getting better with each chapter

[civic shuttle]

||tbf, which of the two would you trust with… sensitive information||

Also in my defense

I thought it was funny

[past idol]

it was

[obsidian epoch]

Comment posted.
Well, why not. Copy for the thread:

||And you told me you couldn't write NSH. That was astounding, thrilling, ... deserved.
But back to the beginning, much to unravel here.

First things first. Pebbles has lost his marbles. Of course be had to use Arty as base for the courier. The wild scug that just showed him that her loyalty has limits after all. Another risk factor in your calculations, oh allknowing Iterator. So unlike you. NSH would laugh.

Speaking of. I am glad that you went this way. No crusade of sheer solitude, one last time conversing with the gang, one last time showing us just how little your social aptitude truly is. Opening with a download, how 'trustworthy'. (If the rot would be like in OooS then that would be the reddest of flags).
Innocence essentially got trolled, poor callout moment. NSH on the other hand had more 'luck'.
Sheesh ... each word of his is so heavy. You can TASTE the resentment, how tired he is with the topic Pebbles. And yet he did put that smidge of trust in Pebbles, even if he certainly does not deserve even that given his actions.

!

Moon!? Moony! Yes! Yesssss!
Next chapter when? >.>||

[past idol]

huge wall text, damn

[civic shuttle]

Also also in my defense, that log has existed since like week one of writing and is almodt completely unchanged

[civic shuttle]

Thank you for the long comment, means a lot

Cy was a massive help getting ||sig’s|| tone right, I give a lot of credit to him for that

[silk stirrup]

Yup, I remember it. It's good

[civic shuttle]

Ah I meant the ||inno|| one hehe

But that one too

[silk stirrup]

Ahhh

[obsidian epoch]

Feel yourself cuddled, Cy. You did a wonderful job editing

[civic shuttle]

The ||sig|| convo was also written very early but needed changes

[silk stirrup]

||UI for sure! Consider this, even more backups of your memory at several iterators ||

[tawny viper]

||so you either get split personalities or you get iterators doing cyberwarfare over control of cans||

[past idol]

someone write that pls

[obsidian epoch]

Crossover with something silly like ... hmm ... never watched that show, only the predecessors, but a pebbles A.I. would be entertaining In Yugioh Vrains :p

[tawny viper]

I'd say something but my project has been sitting at like 400 words for the last 1 or 2 weeks

"Hmm today i will write"
proceeds to not write

[civic shuttle]

Maybe…. you???

[past idol]

if noone else does it, why not
its not like i have 6 other planned stories

[tawny viper]

BS hell delayed to end of 2026

[past idol]

no wait, its 8

[past idol]

it really will be

[civic shuttle]

Would this situation be pebbles takes over another iterator’s can, or is pebbles now just like, hanging out like a imaginary friend

[silk stirrup]

Pebbles plays pong mod

[past idol]

i prefer the flappy pebbles mod addition

[tawny viper]

Either overwrite, coexist or be a sneaky bastard and silently use up processing power?

I mean, thinking about it, it could be an interesting concept ngl

[civic shuttle]

Pebbles Trojan

[civic shuttle]

Yeah no it actually is

[tawny viper]

[silk stirrup]

Make the same mistakes again
He's stuck in a cycle, a repeating pattern

[tawny viper]

ROT FOR EVERYONE

[past idol]

it also sounds like a pain to write
right now im only coming by as i try to sound like i understand stuff

[civic shuttle]

If it was the Trojan route it could be so primo angst, maybe pebbles can hear their thoughts and starts to feel very guilty tm

[tawny viper]

I mean i'd gladly try to write it if not for my inexperience, one other project and nonexistant writing speed cause I """have better things to do"""

[tawny viper]

Or you put the former inhabitant into a "backseat" of sorts

[civic shuttle]

What if it was ||a similar scenario to hfish, where pebbles is doing this as a backup plan, in case he can’t fix the rot… so some version of him will survive? Though, pebbs isn’t exactly known for his drive to live…||

[past idol]

||maybe he code is forced in another can by someone else that wants him to stay alive instead?||

tho dont aks me how they woudl get their hands on that

[obsidian epoch]

Gonna Assembly a solution to that query then

[tawny viper]

||wait arti what are you doing arti stop-||

[past idol]

||gonna have to make that guy stay alive somehow||

[civic shuttle]

I didn’t think this one was that bad

[past idol]

the last one was much more depressing but this one had its sad moments as well

[tawny viper]

Works well enough, what with the rest? Of course! Bottle it up!

I'm so good at mental health

[past idol]

sounds healthy

[obsidian epoch]

It contained aspects I very much looked forward to, and dreaded their results ||Pebbs finally speaking to the crew||
So it hit me decently hard

[tawny viper]

I think the next one will hit harder, then

[obsidian epoch]

Anyway, nappies.
Work was hell and Soul is dead

[past idol]

it is almost midnight, so go to sleep!!!

[tawny viper]

Yes, yes, go , don't mind me being in the same timezone

[obsidian epoch]

Eh, I have to do something to at least lie to me on being productive

[obsidian epoch]

So quick nap, sate the little Iterator in my head and then properly sleep

[tawny viper]

Now I can't unsee it, why can't i use image editing when I need to

[obsidian epoch]

You're welcome :p

[civic shuttle]

Excellent mental health gang

[tawny viper]

I mean it's not like it will have consequences, right?

(/j ofc, yeah, I know)

[civic shuttle]

Pfff mental health isn’t important

Those hours when you’re supposed to be asleep are when all the good ideas come, anyways

[worn tree]

[tawny viper]

Hehe it is now theoretically a new day I should really go to sleep

[past idol]

new day, new ideas, who needs sleep anyways?

[civic shuttle]

When have I ever hurt you

[tawny viper]

[obsidian epoch]

It all began the day I have been born (...)

[tawny viper]

Wait hold on a second when did pebbles get cycled??? Am I forgetting things???

[woven ocean]

at like the beginning of the fic

he wakes up and hes like damn...

[tawny viper]

Oh that

[obsidian epoch]

it really sounds like little pebbles just crawled out of a life-changing experience in the washing machine.

[dire fossil]

“Zero out of ten, not good. Head spinning.”

[civic shuttle]

Either that or he had a very weird dream

[last wharf]

Oh yeah if you really wanna hurt people, end the fic with "and it was all just a dream"

[upper drum]

I’m gonna start a tally for the number of times that joke gets made in stories

[civic shuttle]

I have said this so many times in stories people are gonna start throwing things at me if I don’t stop lmfao

Dream endings… dream endings…

I hate them

[civic shuttle]

I’ve come to the unfortunately realization that I am actually writing a dream ending though pffff (not HFISH)

Does it count when the whole fic is about dreams……..

[random pine]

That "not HFISH" is doing some heavy lifting

[civic shuttle]

Imagine if I didn’t clarify though

I mean, I could do that to y’all

[obsidian epoch]

I would cancel you on Twatter :§

'Local RW fanat chooses lamest ending of them all. The nothing mattered club.'

[worn tree]

who says it didn't matter? it only says that it's a dream

[errant narwhal]

(probably spoilerly) ||you mean Dreams No More, right? not that nothing changes, right??||

[civic shuttle]

Things change, oh do they change

[last wharf]

[civic shuttle]

It’s true it did nothing wrong

Wonter: I had a little remorse

[tawny viper]

"I may be having second-thoughts, but my spear does not"

[civic shuttle]

Winter be remorsing her whole way through this mission but does it anyway

[errant narwhal]
