Corroded Destiny

[static pecan]

let's mark a lizard

[harsh abyss]

Magnan has made his own Marks, and has given many creatures them over the cycles. The Mark Of Verbalisation, which allows the creature itself to communicate with Iterators, bearers of either the same Mark or The Mark Of Communication, and other highly intelligent beings, is one of the most relevant ones. However, the most important is The Mark Of Biological Immortality, made by Magnan so that he wouldn’t lose the ones he considered family for a very, very long time. That’s what allowed The Leviathan, Silvirthine, to grow so Gargantuan. Sorry if I’m rambling, by the way.

[static pecan]

woe, immortality be upon ye

[harsh abyss]

Basically they aren’t affected by age, basically making them able to live indefinitely as long as they don’t die to starvation, the elements, or other creatures.

[static pecan]

sounds interesting

[harsh abyss]

Thanks.!

[mental cosmos]

World building?

[harsh abyss]

Quite a bit of it.

[mental cosmos]

Perhaps Horizons could use something like this.

Probably have one “program” called “The Mark of Immortality” - spoiler alert, it’s not a mark.

It forcibly binds a soul to the world.

[harsh abyss]

Oh.

[mental cosmos]

First of all, corrupt the Karma of a person so horribly, they can no longer ascend.

And then quickly force ascension.

[harsh abyss]

Oh.

[mental cosmos]

Instead of ascending, however, you get Echoed.

[harsh abyss]

Oh.

Basically what Magnan did.

[mental cosmos]

Like Saint’s ability, just without the guaranteed ascension.

[harsh abyss]

What he did to his entire Ancient population. Trapped them to reality, but in a worse way than an Echo, or at least, in the way that The Ancients view becoming An Echo.

[mental cosmos]

I mean, it’s morbidly accurate in a way.

You are now effectively immortal.

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, but it was forced.

[mental cosmos]

Nothing can kill you.

Worst of all, you can’t even move.

Echoes can’t move.

[harsh abyss]

Yeah. But Magnan somehow managed to put them somewhere.

[mental cosmos]

So, another common idea?

[harsh abyss]

Either that, or they turned into something other than An Echo, and then managed to store them somewhere.

Yeah, he realized during his Denial Of Global Ascension that he was slightly sadistic.

[mental cosmos]

If it ever gets brought up, mention that it’s a coincidence.

[harsh abyss]

A coincidence? If what ever is brought up?

[mental cosmos]

The similarities between our ideas.

[harsh abyss]

Oh.

[mental cosmos]

Because I’m writing, and you are too.

[harsh abyss]

Except The Mark Of Biological Immortality just makes it so that the creature cannot die of old age.

[harsh abyss]

Yep..!..

[mental cosmos]

Bit of a sadistic play on ideas.

[harsh abyss]

Yeah.

Gtg for now.

[mental cosmos]

Technical truths are the best kind of truths.

See you.

[unique patrol]

Interesting concepts

[unique patrol]

Lil teaser for the next chapter. A small banther in the beginning that doesn't spoil what I want to cover in the remaining chapter. But I love the little interaction.

[woven cedar]

Aw.
||That reminds me, I forgot to say how I adore the antennas design on Whisper(as seen in the ch.2 pic), they are very cute.||

||Not only it's bad for the poor slugcat morale, getting used to the rancid taste might make her unable to differentiate rotting food from otherwise! That's not good, Sky!||

||This time I'm gonna be optimistic and say it's just a fault alarm! Surely the overseer saw Gales missing from her rail and then justifiably panicked out of nothing! Surely...||

Also, if you don't mind some suggestions: ||I feel some of the sentences can be touched up/adjusted a bit. For example, maybe "...into the RNA mix, Whisper primarily was concerned about the food" might feel a bit better flow-y? Some of the descriptive sentences also feel a little long, suggesting maybe split them up (into 2 sentences or something, just for the sake of the flow. no need to remove the contents!)||

Not sure if this is counted as unwarranted suggestions/comments or not.. you can tell me if it is and I'll stop

[unique patrol]

No, these suggestions are valid. I mean to touch this up either way as I wrote this interaction because I just couldn't sleep ... At 3am. It has its issues.

[woven cedar]

Well then, I'll be that guy and say it

Go to sleep! It's bad for you to stay up this late!

[unique patrol]

Hahaha, no! It is 4pm currently:p

[woven cedar]

Also the more sleepy you are, the more your ability to write/imagine would deteriorate anyway, it's not that productive in those hours. I'd know ;P

Oh i see

[unique patrol]

Thing is I am most prolific in both art and writing between 11pm and 3am. At these times inspiration sprouts

Also keep your optimism. :3
I can say one thing about my way of storytelling. Drama comes in droplets that gather into a stream. I dislike nothing more than sudden drama for the sake of drama. Where is the madness inducing torment in that? :p

||Hence why acid and corrosion will be such a fun state to play around with. c:||

[woven cedar]

Well, considering it's Rainworld, I'm inclined to believe things can and will go wrong at the drop of a hat haha

[unique patrol]

Well, it all depends on future me. I know right now where I wanna end at the end of this arc and a few key aspects I want to cover until then. The rest will all be determined on the sadism scale of future me.

I mean I already changed in the first 2 chapters a few things I connived in the logs I wrote, mainly with the more active involvement of Whisper and the ||message from Suns||. Aspects that will change up my ideas.

[woven cedar]

the fickleness of one's inner muse, huh. I also do that a lot, changing things as I go.

In fact, my fic right now was supposed to be a 2-3 chapters at most oneshot thing before I write the actual long one. But one day during a writing session, my 'muse' just told me, why not combine all the ideas into one?

And so i did lol

[unique patrol]

Hehehe, love when that happens

Also one aspect I am still unsure about. In my current draft Lives' involvement is pretty small in the story. I am trying to figure out if I want to force her more into act 1 or keep her as initially planned as one of the prominent characters of act 2. I am opting to option 2, to save her up for later

[woven cedar]

I'd say for the sake of pacing and giving the current cast more spotlights, keeping her for later sounds reasonable

[unique patrol]

Saves Gales also from simping too much :p

[unique patrol]

@woven cedar Does this flow better now?

[woven cedar]

Yeah,I think so! Nice work!

Don't only take my words though, maybe others have more thoughts to add?

[unique patrol]

It does read better now. Didn't notice just how much german grammar snuck into these sentences .

[woven cedar]

I know that feeling
my native language is a tenseless one, so I have to double check the verb forms most of the time

[harsh abyss]

I love the story so far, honestly. Very well-written, honestly.

[unique patrol]

:3
Now to figure out the pose for this chapter's image...gods...where can I find refs for THAT?

[unique patrol]

Found a good pose. Cleaning this sketch up will be a pain and a half. Wonder if I should keep it a bit more rough around the edges.
!!!! Do not open this if you don't want to get severely spoilered for chapter 3. You have been warned. !!!!

[harsh abyss]

That looks absolutely stunning.

[unique patrol]

Glad to hear that.

[static pecan]

||gales looks very... blocky? in this drawing?||
||also i thought that was moon in the overseer feed lmao||

[unique patrol]

That's the nature of blocking out :p
... I kinda went overboard with everything before getting the basics clean

[harsh abyss]

You’re welcome, of course.

[unique patrol]

Whisper will be the calmest and most collected person of that chapter, I am sure of it

[harsh abyss]

Hah.

[unique patrol]

So, the third chapter is almost done ^^
Just have to finish up the artwork after dinner and I can start preparing the upload.

[eternal ravine]

:0

[unique patrol]

O indeed. I am curious regarding the reactions >:3

[sterile briar]

wow your really quick, and you dont just write but also draw

[unique patrol]

Trust me, I am as eager to find out what my brain is cooking as you are

[static pecan]

Holy shit, AU speedrun

[steady whale]

That new story hype

Love the enthusiasm :3c

[unique patrol]

What can I say? There are things that boost that enthusiam even more

@steady whale Feel free to share what I am referring to :3

[static pecan]

Well this is most curious

[steady whale]

WUH idk I didn’t like it that much tbh

Me feeling weird about sharing art outside my comfort zone //rip

[unique patrol]

I love it. And my closest friends I shared it with adore it.

[steady whale]

Well I won’t stop you if you wanna share it around it’s a gift after all :3c

[unique patrol]

Fine, I will do it myself

Look at this most adorable interpretation of Far Whisper. She has marketable plushie vibes. :3

[static pecan]

Lil fella

[harsh abyss]

I like the design! It looks a lot like how the in-game Iterators look, or at least how Big Sis Moon looks! A featureless body that doesn’t look mechanical.!

And it’s also adorable.

[naive radish]

It is very cute

[harsh abyss]

||Does it have any offensive capabilities?||. Funny, considering my Overseer can literally huck spears at creatures!

[harsh abyss]

It also looks like she has two umbilicals.

Interesting.

[unique patrol]

One very curvy umbilical.
And I agree, she looks very cute this way ^^

[harsh abyss]

Oh. Umbilical big. Nice.

The simplistic design fits her. The green dots on her head remind me of something. I can’t place it, though. Oh no. Now it’s starting to remind me of the time stone from Marvel. But that isn’t what I was thinking of. It’s kind of like Five Pebbles’ markings.

[steady whale]

I got too lazy to draw the wires but I might add them

[unique patrol]

Her pearl markings go all around her eyes like a gem tiara

[harsh abyss]

For some reason just now the antennae reminded me of bendy pencils or something. Just glowing erasers. Hah.!

Oh. I’m not sure what the more complex image’s antennae remind me of, though.

[unique patrol]

brb, dinner

[harsh abyss]

Okay.

[steady whale]

They do look kinda chewy

[harsh abyss]

Hmm.

Not too sure about that, honestly.

[unique patrol]

IKEA reading lights :p

[harsh abyss]

Oh. Hah.!

[unique patrol]

Yep, back in 2005-2010 they had quite a selection of quadratic light blocks on various lamps

[naive radish]

Oh no, I'm now thinking about how the ancients would have probably develloped different chemistry symbology- or not used the latin alphabet for elements dies

Its very cool though despite my inner naysayer

[static pecan]

Sometimes we just take for granted that other civilizations in other universes use the same system

[steady whale]

I am not inventing alien chemistry expression

Sometimes you just gotta let things be a little nonsensical and not get too caught up on the details or…. You end up inventing actual chemistry haha

I mean some writers do go that hard

[static pecan]

"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe"

[unique patrol]

How can you make an apple pie when you not have settled down on what even an 'apple' is. Does it mean the same here as it does there?
ETC

[steady whale]

Rain world is intentionally vague with much of its lore for this very reason lmao

[unique patrol]

So, art finished. Time to transfer the text to AO3

[steady whale]

!!

[harsh abyss]

Nice job..!!

[static pecan]

New CD chapter today⁉️

[unique patrol]

yay, 57+ mistakes found by grammarly. Lets go to work

Indeed

[unique patrol]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55635643/chapters/141660148

The third chapter of Corroded Destiny is ready. The situation is heating up >:3

[static pecan]

yooooooooooo

[harsh abyss]

Nice job on the writing..!..

[unique patrol]

:3

[harsh abyss]

Also, the simplistic Iterator design from earlier reminded me of how complex my own Iterator drawings are. Magnan has an exterior made of so many plates he might as well be a giant dishwasher! Hah..!..

[inner steeple]

||Poor Skyyy I wanna give him a hug ||
||Really like the idea of the whole superstructure reacting with emotion. I think I'm gonna take some inspiration ||

[unique patrol]

||Well in general the Iterator is the superstructure and vice versa. I find this a nice trope to show just how connected they are to their building. How integral a leveled mind is. That the godlike narcissism implanted into their dome is actually just a preventative measure to assure the structure works accordingly. This high and disconnected view is integral.||

||And boy oh boy, if you wanna give Sky a hug, wait till you see what might or might not happen to Whisper next chapter ||

[harsh abyss]

Huh. Interesting. Hmm.. neat.

[inner steeple]

||Hell yea! Just that I keep forgetting all the things I can do with it||

[unique patrol]

See it as a stern reminder:3

[unique patrol]

Ahh, ending at a cliffhanger is such a struggle. I just want to continue writing. I am torturing myself

[unique patrol]

The Scavenger has now a name: || Unrelenting Wave Breaker. He refers to himself as Breaker||

[woven cedar]

||Now let's hope Sky could grasp the situation quickly, because he will need to calm Whisper down very soon. Else things might get very distressing for the poor scav||

[unique patrol]

Currently figuring out that part. Already 400 words in. There is only one issue. ||Only Whisper knows about the maintenance function of Gales' umbilical. But she ... kinda develops into a buzzing ball of rage. Sky doesn't know because he never asked and it is considered rude to study the building plans of another Iterator. ... Whisper at least knows about some oddities of Gales' puppet.||

[mental cosmos]

||"Hey, sibling. I want to see your guts." ||

[mental cosmos]

Essentially what that would feel like.

[unique patrol]

Indeed

[unique patrol]

||No chance. I just wrote their initial breakdowns and sheesh ... I never wrote such hate-filled lines before. <.<||

[woven cedar]

||oh no... poor Breaker did nothing wrong! maybe||

[unique patrol]

||He didn't. ... Maybe. In my current headcannon at least.||

[eternal ravine]

||Where is the therapy when Whisper needs it,, scavs need a therapist role ion think they can handle it rn😭||

[unique patrol]

|| Everyone's a mess :p Group therapy.||
So, this marks the end of my writing session. Work calls. Managed to get to 1200 words. This ... will be a 'fun' chapter

I am so tempted to turn ||Sky and Whisper|| into this meme for that chapter

[eternal ravine]

||Please do, its so accurate😭||

||Also Im postponing chap 4, i gotta do a show today,,||

[unique patrol]

Good luck with that

[eternal ravine]

ty!! gl to you with your writing as well

[harsh abyss]

Please, try not to over-exert yourself. For your own sake, please. It’s good to take a break once in a while.

[unique patrol]

Breaks are my poison. My last novel attempt fell prey to a break at a low point that lasted till today and further.
And I extremely enjoy this

[harsh abyss]

If it works, then alright.

[unique patrol]

WIP: The general vibe is a tiiiny bit different

[sterile briar]

Shifting Gales: ||The new Lego Set premium||

[unique patrol]

Evil

[static pecan]

||Start the new iterator! HEY! Build the iterator!||

[eternal ravine]

||BUILD UP OUR ITERATOR YOU DIE TONIGHT!!/ref||

[unique patrol]

I repeat myself. Y’all are evil. She hasn’t chosen to be modular

[harsh abyss]

Modular?

[harsh abyss]

Am I evil in this context?

[unique patrol]

Just messing around

[harsh abyss]

Oh, okay.. Thanks.

[static pecan]

||whisper going FERAL||

[unique patrol]

||You have no idea. The dialogue I wrote for her is truly borderline.||

[blazing musk]

wait what

im worried now

if it is borderline on breaking rules could you dm it to courier for approval first

[unique patrol]

Can do. They are not that bad. Just going in certain threatening directions.
I have read far worse in other fics

Sent

[static pecan]

Leaked conversation between ||the scav|| and ||whisper||:
||https://youtu.be/F2FuOb8cCbg?si=lc-ISfP7q1L08XZl||

[unique patrol]

I love how accurate one aspect of this video is to what I wrote. ||Love the decline of mic quality as things go south||

[static pecan]

||audio compression ❤️||

[unique patrol]

Update: Just finished the chapter a few minutes ago. Now all that is left is to finish the artwork.
Maybe I will be done later tonight? Likely tomorrow however.

[harsh abyss]

Nice..!..

[blazing musk]

[harsh abyss]

Honestly amazing.

[unique patrol]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55635643/chapters/141973210#workskin
Chapter 4 is live! Time for emotions

Also. I am finished. Pointing meme unlocked

[static pecan]

Corroded Destiny chapter 4, or "Far Whisper finally fucking loses it"

[steady whale]

She really fucking loses it

I laughed when she got muted

[unique patrol]

She is surely still iterating more ways to insult. :P

[harsh abyss]

Finished reading it. Amazing.

[unique patrol]

<3 Glad to hear that

[harsh abyss]

You’re welcome.

I’ll re-read that last part, though, I was distracted by something in A Discord Call at that moment. My apologies.

Okay I understood it more after a re-read. Even better.

[unique patrol]

:3

Tired sketch. Might refine it, might not.

spoiler warning

[harsh abyss]

Nice..!..

[inner steeple]

||Far Whisper becomes Extremely Close Shouting||
||That scav is a real homie||

[unique patrol]

No kidding :3

[woven cedar]

||I actually winced while reading Whisper meltdown's rants. Good thing Sky remained composed enough to salvage the situation||

[unique patrol]

||They both had quite the meltdown. Sky's was however arguably worse. Given he rarely even shows strong emotions it was for him a 0-100 situation while Whisper, being a gen 2 model, just let her anger flow freely. ||

[static pecan]

"Time to get funky"

[unique patrol]

Hehehe

[unique patrol]

Yeahh, this is way better in terms of anatomy. Just had to redo the entire form

[static pecan]

"Be not afraid"

[unique patrol]

||"...Why do I assume such a pose upon startup? Stupid divine preprogramming -.-"||

[woven cedar]

||wait. Before, she had karma 5. But here it's karma 7/10?? Hmmm, curious||

[unique patrol]

||It is her default symbol in all other pics. But you are right. I will change it to 6||

[woven cedar]

||oh oops... i did see that before, but in term of story progression she's not been shown with karma past 5 before right? Just wondering what could that mean||

[unique patrol]

Nothing :p
Like for real. I wasn't paying attention myself

[static pecan]

It looks cool and will not have any lore implications at all

[harsh abyss]

Looks very good.

[unique patrol]

Standing exercises are important for Gales' survival. An Iterator was never supposed to walk or exist outside of 0G. And these pointy feet do not help. Nor does the strong imbalance thanks to her umbilical.
Stand firm, girl.

[woven cedar]

Very gorgeous!

Maybe she needs a walking cane!
||Also, the vibe reminds me of Howling Cliffs from Hollow Knight||

[unique patrol]

Her neuron fly staff literally is a walking cane :p

But she needs to be able to use both hands when necessary

[unique patrol]

Finally figured out how to start chapter 5. And dare I say, it is a great beginning.
The ball is rolling

[static pecan]

Balling, perchance

[rough fox]

Link to the other four chapters?

[unique patrol]

Check the pin ^^

[rough fox]

Mhm I saw nvm ty

[unique patrol]

I wish you much fun

[unique patrol]

Updated the pin with my alternative link to the novel on WorldAnvil. Given AO3 is banned in a few countries I should pin it here.

[harsh abyss]

Why does the background remind me of The Terraria Corruption Biome? Never mind. Amazing drawing, by the way.

[unique patrol]

The color scheme is similar. Was the most fitting in contrast

[harsh abyss]

Alright, then. Nice work.

..

[unique patrol]

Phew. Chapter done. Only the image has to be finished next, then I will be able to post

[harsh abyss]

Nice.

[unique patrol]

I think this will be a nice chapter to top off the development of the first 4

[harsh abyss]

Nice. I hope so.

[unique patrol]

Will finish it tomorrow and publish the chapter afterwards

[harsh abyss]

Nice..!..

[static pecan]

||Trade offer:||

[eternal ravine]

Just seeing this,
||Far Whisper really turned into Much Significant Harrassment||😭

[unique patrol]

Oh, in what way?

[eternal ravine]

||Verbal, like Dyrm said, Extremely Close Shouting||

Also your art looks amazing as always!!

[unique patrol]

Oh, I see. Makes sense

Speaking of

[eternal ravine]

?

[unique patrol]

One session away from finishing chapter 5's artwork

[eternal ravine]

It looks amazing so far!!

[unique patrol]

:3
Aiming to release the chapter this evening

[eternal ravine]

I've yet to add the art element in my own story,

Also looking forward to it!!

[unique patrol]

I like to do it in tandem to neither burn out on the art nor the writing side

[harsh abyss]

Nice.

[unique patrol]

Shifting Gales is done. Chapter release in the next hour

[static pecan]

yippie

[harsh abyss]

Nice..!.. no idea what the thing at the bottom of the drawing or image or whatever is, though..

[unique patrol]

The backside of Breaker's mask

[harsh abyss]

Oh okay. Who is Breaker..?..

[unique patrol]

|| The Scavenger I featured in past images as well. Full name Unrelenting Wave Breaker||

[harsh abyss]

Oh okay. Thought so. Especially because of ||The Fluff On The Edges Of It,||, but I couldn’t be sure. Thanks..

[unique patrol]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55635643/chapters/142216951

New chapter alert :3

[steady whale]

Alert! Not a drill!

[unique patrol]

The real thing. Beware of sparks and rebar

[harsh abyss]

Astounding. One moment, I need to read the last part again..

There we go. Understood it now. I read too fast at times, my bad.

Love it.

[steady whale]

Good chap!

[unique patrol]

Glad you like it ^^

[harsh abyss]

You’re welcome, of course..!..

[static pecan]

yippie

[unique patrol]

Started with chapter 6 ... hmm, this one will be a bit more difficult as I have to wrap up a few things here. Just in which order should I do it...

[static pecan]

tie up a few loose ends

[steady whale]

Wrapping up threads might be the most challenging thing

[unique patrol]

Indeed it is

[woven cedar]

Read!
||Hmm, now that things started to settle down 'calmly', I wonder what'll happen next? It does look like Gales' superstructure would still be sustainable for a while, but for how much longer? What would their next moves be? Very curious||

[unique patrol]

||The pacing from this point on will surely change a bit. I still have a few stations to address. Just have to figure out how to address them in an engaging way to not make it feel samey And boring .||

[harsh abyss]

Oh wait right the previous one was chapter five oh right of course.

[inner steeple]

||Whisper's wtf moment The squad is reunited again!||

[unique patrol]

|| Someone translated the binary code, I am pleased :3 And yes, reunited at last. Wonder how long that will last.||

Still an early draft, but this is promising.

[static pecan]

wait huh binary? where?

[unique patrol]

In her surprised rant

[static pecan]

oh that

[harsh abyss]

Nice Job..!..

[unique patrol]

Chapter 6 finished and formatted. Only thing left is the image

Although...I can add the picture whenever I want. Hmm, I will imply mention it in the notes of following chapter when I have added the artwork and will release the text now.

[unique patrol]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55635643/chapters/142423525

Chapter 6 of Corroded Destiny is live. To finish the first mini arc.

[static pecan]

Storytime

[harsh abyss]

Nice..!.. I’ll read it in a little while..!..

[static pecan]

Shouldn't it be "assess" here?

Also the sentence about ||the rail|| feels odd, maybe ||"I have to repair the rail I got stranded in (on?), it cut me off from integral structures"||?

And this one feels kinda weird, maybe throw the ||"already" right after "whisper" or after "frenzy"||? Also should it be "fell in" or "fell into"

Also when I think ||breaker|| i think ||that one gun from hd2 lmao||

[unique patrol]

True. I will fix them. Thank you for the feedback

Alrighty, everything fixed + a small mistake I spotted myself

[static pecan]

Aye

[inner steeple]

You write so fast, how!?

||Gales, you do NOT want to read that full advertisement ||

||Breaker's reaction on getting the pearls, so cuuuute||

||SKY ||

[unique patrol]

I have no answer to that. Inspiration is a weird drug

[unique patrol]

Woo! Combining the views on AO3 and Worldanvil Corroded Destiny has nearly passed 1000 views :3 (990, but what are ten views?)

[woven cedar]

Ohh congrats!

[unique patrol]

Thank you :3

[woven cedar]

||The hidden/redacted logs... Those would be some uncomfortable truths that Gales don't need right now.||

[unique patrol]

Quite much so. ||Imagine finding out your creators use the fruits of your tireless labour as hunting grounds to sate their bottled up thirst for blood. That this was the only benefit they saw in her research.||

[woven cedar]

||poor Gales....||

[unique patrol]

||It will get even more ... interesting. Have something special planned.
...
Now why does Gales doesn't know about the fact that The Ancients performed karma breaking actions in her monastery? Such actions take time. Is there ... something else she isn't aware of?||

[static pecan]

||did she not notice the missing animals or was there just so many of them?||

[static pecan]

||oh, the memory loss I bet||

[unique patrol]

|| I work here with the game concept of next cycle rebirth at a lower karma level as seen with the red lizards in slugpup's section. She would only notice the carnage via two ways. Karmic tests on her release into the wild experiments noticing they are way lower than anticipated or odd readings on the balance predators/prey that the curated ecosystem briefly collapsed.||

[unique patrol]

|| Hmmm, no. Well kinda yes, but definitely no. I am not very secretive with other aspects of my story, but that one, yes I wanna keep that for myself till it mattes.||

will be fun to draw, thats for sure

[static pecan]

||so I guess either encryption or they just outright deleted some of her memories lmao||

[unique patrol]

Yesn't and no.

[balmy silo]

Dang just started reading this (still on chap 1) I feel so bad for Gales

[static pecan]

||I t ' s g o n n a g e t w a y w o r s e : )||

Or will it, idk

[unique patrol]

I am contractly obliged to not answer the question. Future me is my boss and he might or might not make it worse. It is a matter of whim. I only know where it will end. :p

[unique patrol]

Happy to hear that. I hope you will enjoy your stay :3
Perfect timing even as chapter 6 finished the first mini arc

Also happy to hear that you feel bad for Gales (The s is mandatory, like for suns).
That means I wrote her right

(One reason why it is mandatory is because I am a fan of BG3 and well, Gale)

[balmy silo]

i fixed my mistake

also what is the slugcat at the end of chapter 1

feels like they are a purposed organism

[unique patrol]

They are, purposed because of a reason I will uncover in the story a few chapters later

[balmy silo]

Purposed to be cute

[static pecan]

you're under a NDA

[unique patrol]

Self inflicted :P

[static pecan]

Purposed to ■■■■■■■■ in order to ■■■■ via ■■■■■■■■■■■ and ■■■■■ with the use of ■■

[unique patrol]

Banan drew her. You will have an image soon (Or now if you look at my pfp <.<)

[steady whale]

I drawed her :3x she a cutie

[balmy silo]

I am all caught up

[unique patrol]

Oh? Any thoughts?

[balmy silo]

Must hug Gales

They need hugs

[unique patrol]

She definitely does after that.

[balmy silo]

Make a purposed organism which its purpose is emotional support

[unique patrol]

whistles In some way you are right with what Gales plans to do. ||The Overseer connection can't stay indefinitely.||

[balmy silo]

Scug hugs

[unique patrol]

Started working on chapter 7. A small pace shift is in order.

[unique patrol]

May I share a small WIP? Updated Lives design a bit.

[harsh abyss]

Nice. What is Lives’ Full Title or Name again..?..

[unique patrol]

Five Lives Unbound

[harsh abyss]

Oh. Right. Thanks..!..

[unique patrol]

No problem. She will very soon play a bigger role

[sterile briar]

man ik your first drawing of her was only a concept and i like the little cape [?] thingy, but i do miss the old poofy dress look

[unique patrol]

the poofy dress had the issue that it covered too much. I like her leg design <.<

[sterile briar]

true, the dress will be missed

[unique patrol]

a necessary sacrifice

[harsh abyss]

Okay, finished reading it. Excellent.

[unique patrol]

:3

[unique patrol]

Lineart cleaned up. I love her new design ^^

[static pecan]

I will continue to believe their emblem is a poorly drawn star /j

[unique patrol]

Hehe

[steady whale]

A star doin a funky dance

It’s cute tho

[static pecan]

Oh also ||you mentioned she had that big antenna to control her repair drones, but how did she get the antenna? Was given to her by her creators for some other purpose (cause I doubt repair drones would have been made by the ancients if what you stated earlier is up to date)? Or did she add it herself?||

[unique patrol]

Yesn't. She expanded its original use to work with her excavation and repair drones. Originally the Ancients designed her with a personal broadcast antenna because her superstructure is located in a key point, having signal access to many other gen 1 Iterators, Including Moon. Her original purpose was coordination. A purposed project supervisor.

[static pecan]

Why have an antenna on the puppet when you can cram a way bigger one in the can? Redundancy?

Also excavation drones, that sounds fun

[unique patrol]

redundancy and pitch perfect communication with the bigger antenna even in storm situations

Also it looked fitting to the Ancients who designed her

[harsh abyss]

Nice job..!..

[sterile briar]

i really love how none of the puppet bodys look the same. they all have such distinct shapes and forms and thats just really cool.

[unique patrol]

I mean where is the fun in having four carbon copies?

[sterile briar]

exactly. one of my favorite thing to see in iterator fan art (at least for moon and pebbs), is that moon gets a stronger model with big chunky legs and pebbs gets a more sleek design. i once saw that one peice of art where they were contrasted side by side and while moons legs were more rectangular, pebbles were more zylinder shaped and it looked so good!!!

man i wish i would have saved it, definitely one of my favorite designs overall.

[unique patrol]

Speaking of. I have to design-Interpret Suns very soon c:

[sterile briar]

:>>>>>

i really wanna see that

suns has so many cool designs

still dont know why they get a fur coat most of the time though

[unique patrol]

Probably an interpretation of one of the big Rainworld artists

[sterile briar]

i really need to find out where that idea originated

[unique patrol]

Hmm, difficult

I have at least tried myself out on Moon, Pebbles and NSH already

[sterile briar]

uh i hadn't seen the pebbles up until now

[unique patrol]

because I am not that happy with it.

[sterile briar]

ig the shadows are a bit of but the colors are really nice

[unique patrol]

Pebbs deserves a better attempt later down the line

[sterile briar]

cant wait to see that one too

[unique patrol]

But I am very happy with moon

The full body

[sterile briar]

i love the moon one so much. i also think its funny cause the little metal things over her eyes remind me of the rock raised eyebrows meme

[unique patrol]

Perpetually stuck in a meme

[sterile briar]

oh i remember that. still cant believe you put in the extra work to draw her with and without the cloak

[unique patrol]

What can I say? I enjoy anatomy. Especially robot anatomy

[unique patrol]

Funny number. And good night

[rough fox]

He’s come to collect

[unique patrol]

Five Lives Unbound:
One of the last Gen 1 Iterator, created by the Ancients as culmination of the first generation in a special place on the world.
Having noticed how the local groups tended to cooperate to work on the great problem, Lives was built in a chokepoint with broadcast access to all five groups of the surrounding land (Including Moon's local group.). She was purposed to act as overarching administrator and overseer to fund and maintain over-regional cooperation work.
Her access to far superior communication technology assured an avid exchange of messages even after the mass ascension took away the ability to maintain the technology. Mainly because she began utilizing her communication technology in other ways creating and outfitting biomechanical drones as means to scour the lands searching clues in the past. And more importantly purpose repair drones she communicated with to somehow keep the over-regional broadcast stations outside of any Iterator's direct influence operational.

Five Lives Unbound is regarded by the five local groups as their 'server mom' and even in the international chats she has a quite positive reputation being a moderator and mediator in multiple forums.

[mental cosmos]

"Server mom".

[static pecan]

Server mom

[unique patrol]

sue me :P

[unique patrol]

And besides that?

[static pecan]

She cool

[harsh abyss]

Awesome.

[unique patrol]

Good

[woven cedar]

Very intriguing. So she's at the center of 5 groups
||I wonder if she'll be the bridging point between Gales and Suns eventually||

[static pecan]

||depends on if suns is in one of the 5 groups||

[woven cedar]

||oh right, sometimes i forget that Suns wasn't in the same local group ||

[static pecan]

Yeah I used to think so too so it was weird when I got told otherwise

[mental cosmos]

I think they weren’t, but were still relatively close to the Local Group.

[unique patrol]

||I haven't put that much thought into it yet as Lives' role is still quite fresh and I only figured it out a few days ago. But I can assume that Suns is part of one of the groups she has/had avid contact with. If I want her to be the connective tissue is another story. I am drawn to my original concept of Sky being the bridging point as he refers to both Gales and Suns to create Irradiant.||

Because as mentioned in chapter 1 have Gales and Lives never really gotten in non-professional contact with due to Gales feeling not good enough to casually chat with her. She tends to let Sky do the senior talking and just tags along.
I plan to advance that relationship later down the line, but for now this will remain that way

[steady whale]

Server mom

An Iterator serving as admin is interesting

[static pecan]

Admin (not to be confused with administrator (ancient))

[unique patrol]

Coordinator would also work

Word has some resemblance with Iterator

[inner steeple]

She is here!!!
God I love how you draw robots

[unique patrol]

Glad you do.
Robots are such a fun thing to draw. So many opportunities to have an unique design which compliments their purpose and/or personality

[unique patrol]

A little background info regarding the local group.

Sky was prior to Lives having decided to create a group around him, Whisper and Gales a soloist. Only connection he had to others was through Lives' annual meetings of administrators of the 5 areas she supervised. There he also got his reputation as an antisocial workaholic loner.

Gales was not originally planned to work alongside him, but just to benefit from the 'waste' he produced being the smart animals that went nutty under his growth conditions, the weak subjects.
They only started working together after Lives, with her having received Whisper as a direct neighbour, decided to put the spread-out southern Iterators into her own local group. It is a group of odd subjects who bond through their oddities.

[unique patrol]

Also a Little mindmap regarding what each of the four iterators thought of the Ancients.

Sky: "They worked in my facility, traveled to me to research. They were business partners."

Gales: "They visited me for respite. My permanent citizens were oddballs, but beacons of purity."

Whisper: "They were distracting. Being the only genuine city in the south provided me with so many unnecessary tasks to keep them happy."

Lives: "Being the center of travel and exchange between regions blessed me with having only temporary visitors. That allowed me to focus on my primary task, which is organising my kind."

[unique patrol]

Given I want the story to start after Spearmaster finished their second mission I changed the beginning of the story from 1592.512 to 1668.512. Just as a heads-up.
This also means that all dates in the early broadcasts I wrote happen now 66.000 cycles later.

[harsh abyss]

I agree on drawing machines. It’s fun. Until you have to draw hands.

[unique patrol]

Gales part is done, 2000 words. Second section will follow tomorrow

[harsh abyss]

Noice.

[unique patrol]

Lil sketch

[mental cosmos]

The Connector.

[unique patrol]

Indeed. Also first brief sketch of Suns

I will refine it later

[inner steeple]

Man I just had a great idea for a Corroded Destiny meme

[unique patrol]

Oh?

[inner steeple]

Maybe I'll shitpost draw it in the morning Speedrun

[unique patrol]

[static pecan]

Why does everyone look traumatized

[unique patrol]

Because everyone is :p

[mental cosmos]

All Iterators are traumatized.

If Mass Ascension didn't scare them, their impending decay did the job.

[unique patrol]

And the fact that the story is set shortly after the SM campaign the fresh loss of Moon only got worsened by Gales tummy ache

[static pecan]

Yeah but like traumatized traumatized

[unique patrol]

Static placed eyes do that to you.

[static pecan]

I think it's cause you drew the outline of the eyes in a specific way lmao

[unique patrol]

Pre-sketch does that to you. Don't go halfway :p

[harsh abyss]

Nice job..!..

[unique patrol]

In this WIP one can actually see what is happening

[static pecan]

Less traumatized now 😌

[unique patrol]

I like that it shows how different they all are

And Lives‘ antenna really grows on me

[static pecan]

Actually lives does look like uhh

You know how when you are tired you have like some darker spots below your eyes

Like that lmao

[unique patrol]

Perpetuum tiredness with everyone’s shit

[unique patrol]

Although originally I wanted these little eyes to imitate these small glasses librarians tend to wear in media

[steady whale]

Maybe if the marking was higher so that it touched where the eyes were? Like went higher than the bottom of the eyes

It might look a bit more like those half moon glasses

[unique patrol]

I think I will do that

Gives also some spider aesthetics to work in tandem with glowbug protégé

[harsh abyss]

Nice..!..

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55635643/chapters/142872625#workskin

Chapter 7 is finally online! The debut of a new player.

Took longer than expected because my pc decided to commit battery seppuko and I had to finish writing it on another computer

[static pecan]

Huh that was faster than i expected, yippie

[unique patrol]

I mean it took 7 days instead of the usual 3-4

[static pecan]

"Gales did lose", no?

[static pecan]

oh

[unique patrol]

Did lose, correct

[static pecan]

Okay so this just feels weird. 2nd sentence. Maybe move the "is" to after "system" very end of it? 3rd sentence ||"my little acid issue dissolved the mountain below my feet little by little in the past 400 cycles"|| maybe?

1st sentence i'd move however to the very beggining or after feed

Also, "traumata"? Typo or is that a thing? Idk

[unique patrol]

Whoops, German term

[static pecan]

I'd move the is to after neglect

[unique patrol]

Makes sense

[static pecan]

"Finally" to the beggining of its sentence maybe

[unique patrol]

Sounds better

[static pecan]

"Little by little i will be able"

"Her advance" would be better I think

I am guessing you forgot to add something between "means" and "hasn't"?

[unique patrol]

Hmm, yeah, that sounds unfinished

[static pecan]

1st paragraph i'd move already to the very end. Maybe also "she shouldn't be suffering" instead of what is currently?

3rd paragraph typo in collapse. Also it's "piling up"

Also shouldn't "overseer" be in plural here?

And that's everything I believe?

[unique patrol]

Nope, overseer is singular because it is referring to her very role

[static pecan]

Yeah but here it refers to iterators in plural?

[unique patrol]

Oh

[static pecan]

I mean i see what you are getting at but yeah

[unique patrol]

You're right

Ok, fixed everything you addressed

[static pecan]

Yippie

[unique patrol]

Thank you ^^

[static pecan]

Np

Also I assume there has been some kind of small gap between c6 and c7?

Cause c6 gales' arm just got jammed into the wall of something, and here she's on the rail, I think

... or maybe i missed sth

[unique patrol]

Like half a cycle. And she is mobile, able to move around in and out of her memory array.
The ||broken off path leads to her laboratories, down, not up||.

[static pecan]

So even if her arm got jammed into the wall instead of a rail it could still move?

[steady whale]

Are there multiple rails then?

[static pecan]

Rail network i guess

[unique patrol]

She got jammed into a adaptive wall, I described it to be able to move around the grappler, merging with it.
Outside of her core workings she is restricted to a rail network, but inside her core every wall is built to accept her umbilical

[static pecan]

Ah okay

[unique patrol]

||Sky lead the scav to that place because he assumed a higher probability that reviving her could work there instead on a random rail that might be depowered already.||

[unique patrol]

But I hope you enjoyed the chapter past the error search :3

[static pecan]

Yeah it was cool, i'm used to it

[inner steeple]

||Someone get Lives some coffee ||

[unique patrol]

A few many gallons, directly into the veins. Her surroundings will get blessed with coffee rain

[inner steeple]

I HAVE THE SHITPOST (Spoilers for first four chapters)
@unique patrol Is this accurate

[unique patrol]

Holy shit

Yes, this is so perfect!

[inner steeple]

[unique patrol]

I don't deserve your high effort shitposting

[inner steeple]

For the inspiration you have given me, of course you do

[static pecan]

Overseer mic lmao

[unique patrol]

Also holy moly does ||breaker|| look menacing

[unique patrol]

Aww, you don't realize how much that means to me

[static pecan]

Staring right into the camera with gales' body in hand

[steady whale]

Omfg

Amazing

[sterile briar]

pffft- good job

[mental cosmos]

Unbroken Promise.

[static pecan]

broken knees

[unique patrol]

Hehe

[unique patrol]

@blazing musk Can you please pin this to the thread? Perfection needs to be easily searchable

[harsh abyss]

Yay..!..

Just read it, I loved it.

Though, there was one part that I had to repeatedly re-read:

|| “Overseer at the Scavenger’s side the situation with the Filtration System is not salvageable. “ ||

I was thinking that some punctuation should be added to that it doesn’t look jumbled together. I noticed that happening a few times in it, but I could tell well enough what it meant after a few re-reads. I was thinking that some punctuation could be added like this:

|| “Overseer at the Scavenger’s side**,** the situation with the Filtration System is not salvageable.” ||

Also, I have noticed something about AS’ name:

|| Approaching Sky, to me, seems sort of symbolic. Perhaps a clearer sky, if Sky’s plans succeed, could replace the uncertain fog of the hissing rain above Gales’ home. This clear sky could be rapidly approaching, or the acidic rain itself could be blotting out the air further away if the plans go awry. Just kind of how I think about the name’s meaning. ||

[blazing musk]

📌

[harsh abyss]

Yep.

[blazing musk]

100/10 🔥

[harsh abyss]

For my own universe, I just had an idea for a new Iterator.. I just need to figure out this one’s Motive for what he does. And for his creators’ motives, though those motives are likely easier to find.

Also the sound at the end reminds me of The Sir Pelo sceam.

[harsh abyss]

WAIT THE PIN EMOJI IS TRANSPARENT?!

[blazing musk]

LOL

yeah

[harsh abyss]

.. noice..

[harsh abyss]

But.. how do you even Describe How Sir Pelo’s scream sounds like? Yes, the scream in the video perfectly matches it, especially the end of it, but how can his scream even Begin to be even Described..?..

[unique patrol]

Hmm, that definitely sounds like a mistake. Will track it down

[unique patrol]

Also holy, I love that! Not inten- Definitely intended . I am proud of you for catching that.
Was that believable?

[harsh abyss]

Thanks! Yes.

[unique patrol]

I mean || I did intend for Gales and Sky to have telling names. Gales being the Storm in motion and Sky being the solution on the horizon. That however got diluted as Lives and Whisper joined the equation.||

[harsh abyss]

Your explanation does make sense. Nice. Thank you for telling me, by the way.

[unique patrol]

Your theory is way better, I like it.

[harsh abyss]

Thanks..!..

[unique patrol]

BTW, already 1000 words into chapter 8. this one goes way better now that things are set up

[harsh abyss]

Really, I do occasionally, or, nowadays often, have symbolism in their names. Magnan, or Magnanimous Insight, was my first clear example of this, with another recent character, Watching Flare, falling into that character.

[harsh abyss]

Nice! Though, I have multiple reasons that would make it difficult to put all of Magnan’s story versions into Archives Of Our Own. Mostly because:

There is a total of, UHHHHHHHH..

The largest one has over 7,300 WORDS, and the smallest section of it has 473 WORDS.

[unique patrol]

Symbolism is fun. In my own universe I tended to use words from all around the world as character names. Like my mantis Pencari Kencantikan (Seeker of Beauty indonesian)

[harsh abyss]

Yeah. The 473 one is actually only uh.. 291 words.

[harsh abyss]

Nice. I have to agree on symbolism being fun.

Also, would you like to see the full count of Characters {Including and Excluding Spaces..}, as I took four pics of the four in total.?

[unique patrol]

The secret in that case is to find reasonable spots where to cut the chapters. Or When to add the short ones as little addendums

Sure

[harsh abyss]

Yeah. I made it in Google docs. I could make footnotes in there, chapters even.

[harsh abyss]

Thanks!

[unique patrol]

I see. Some decent wordcounts

[harsh abyss]

Thanks! Can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or something, a very “decent” amount. Just a bit of text, not that much.

But I can output that the biggest one in a few, if not even a couple of, days.

[unique patrol]

No sarcasm

[harsh abyss]

Oh okay.

But I did make over 2,100 words in a few hours. And it’s relative coherent.

The second reason is that in the Iterator calls, the different Iterators just are distinguished through their font. Nowadays I don’t even list who is talking beforehand. That also complicates things. The one dedicated to just Iterator Calls, though, does state who is saying something. Only that, though, really.——Nvm I actually did list who was talking about for once it’s not that I’m an idiot {occasionally consider myself that..}, it’s just that I can’t remember Saturday.

[unique patrol]

The Gales section of chapter 8 is finished

[static pecan]

Gotta go fast

[harsh abyss]

Noice..!..

[unique patrol]

Still need to edit chapter 8, but expect it in the next hours

[static pecan]

Yippie

[unique patrol]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55635643/chapters/142980472#main

Chapter 8. (I have no witty summary this time, prep chapter)

[sterile briar]

i will just finish building my desk and then i will read it!!!

[static pecan]

Shouldn't it be everything instead of anything here?

[unique patrol]

Aight. Settle down me, we are gonna fix stuff

[static pecan]

||"she punched the floor in sheer frustration"|| sounds better

2nd comma not needed i believe

Think that's all?

[unique patrol]

Aight :3

[static pecan]

||okay the fact that SG is on an island surrounded by water is kinda ironic and very not kind||

[unique patrol]

||The irony is strong in her promised fate||

[sterile briar]

done!!!

nice chapter but i miss the scug

havent heard from her for the last two chapters

[unique patrol]

Scug will return soon ||Right after the group meeting is over Scug will get quite a bit of focus||

[sterile briar]

||GROUP MEETING GROUP MEETING GROUP MEETING||

||gales will panick cause of lives||

drama!

[unique patrol]

||Gales is the only one who could physically escape the video chat ||

[sterile briar]

||She just punches the overseer in the eye and bolts ||

[unique patrol]

||Honestly ... not the worst idea to get her back into a disconnected state :p||

[static pecan]

||take an acid dip after doing something embarrasing||

[sterile briar]

rip

[unique patrol]

||"Stop analysing me like a lost cause!" Punches overseer and scoots Sky: "I think she doesn't like it."||

[sterile briar]

||if you cant ascend per void sea just swim in acid||

||the triple affirmative all along, getting absorbed in acid||

[unique patrol]

||Turns out it was their experiment all along. Dipping an Iterator in void infused genuine acid||

[static pecan]

||wait so what's gales' deal with FLU anyways?||

[sterile briar]

||she has a big crush /j||

||nah, i guess she just greatly respects her and wants to impress her but isnt sure how||

[unique patrol]

Let me regurgitate the exposition of chapter 1

[sterile briar]

||like meeting your idol and not feeling good enough||

[unique patrol]

Lives … Whisper’s senior was everything Approaching Sky lacked. A social signpost in dozens of forums all over Chat 1.0 and even more involved in the current variant. A shining example of results, but even her outstanding performance sadly was not enough to even put a dent into the great problem. Her prowess in physical science made waves when the Ancients were still around, her mechanical purposed a true sight to behold. Her grandeur was only hindered by their very own limits, the few taboos that bound iterators to reality, preventing even the greatest from becoming more than what the Ancients purposed them to be.

Gales was certain; if the taboos were no thing to worry about, Lives would roam the sky in some sort of mobile fortress that would even put a Miros Vulture to utter shame. Her admiration for this crafty and stunning example of an iterator knew no bounds. If she only wouldn’t be THAT perfect…

[static pecan]

Oh right i forgot, so basically like an idol or something

[unique patrol]

Mostly a case of Gales being painfully aware just how badly equipped her own body is. Inferiority complex combined with no real reason to talk to Lives as their research fields don't match.
She has more in common with Sky and Whisper

||A thing that might change. Points at chat 1.0 orb||

[static pecan]

Relics of the past, eh?

[unique patrol]

Or a chance for a degrading future

[static pecan]

oh i just realized what you mean (I think)

[unique patrol]

If it involves advanced communication breaking down little by little and looking into the past to figure out the future. Yes.

[static pecan]

Oh I thought by degrading future you meant ||gales walking off|| since you know, degrading

[unique patrol]

That is still 'far future' talk. I am more referring to an immediate interest in showing where Gales and Lives might find a common interest

[unique patrol]

Bit on a roll today. Started working on chapter 9

[steady whale]

He’s out of control!!

I still gotta read eight

[unique patrol]

See you after eight

[sterile briar]

give me your dedication pleaseee!
i still havent written a single word today

[unique patrol]

Quite easy

Just let me break your computer‘s motherboard

[sterile briar]

ah right i remember

but im writing on my computer

[static pecan]

Uh start writing on pen and paper

[sterile briar]

i already have 63 pages of script on paper

my hand still hurts from that

[unique patrol]

I currently write on my iPad with a connected Bluetooth keyboard

[steady whale]

I write on my phone while I pace in a circle like caged animal

[sterile briar]

you walk while writing???

i would fall flat on my face doing that

[steady whale]

I sure do

[unique patrol]

No wonder the name

That dude is bananas

[steady whale]

bananas!!

[sterile briar]

lmao

[steady whale]

I ain’t a dude but I am a banan

[unique patrol]

Dudette then

[inner steeple]

||Suns sooooonn ||
||I love chapters after conflict like this, lovely to see how everyone handles healing differently - Sky brings himself down from stringent professionalism, Gales powers through as always, trying not to worry her friends (but with hope for the future this time), Whisper's introspections. Lives, though, oh Lives. Stretched so thin! ||
||Crown and Gales built on an island surrounded by ocean and run by shitty ancients lmao||

[static pecan]

Dude (gender neutral) /j

[unique patrol]

||Lives's stretched so thin she won't even pass as cardboard cutout anymore. I mean we can assume that there are issues and worries in the remaining unnamed local groups she coordinates as well. Given she is the person the group seniors ask when they have no solution you can see her as nanny for those teenage calculators in their angsty phase. :p
Also suns! Cautiously depressed will soon join the mix of misfits. :3||

And yep, Gales and Crown really have had a fun run with the Ancients. Wonder how an interaction between them would play out.

[unique patrol]

Making good progress with chapter 9.
900 words in, the ||groupchat|| is about to begin

[harsh abyss]

Nice!

K, just read Chapter Eight. Fantastic. Loved it, honestly.

[unique patrol]

Glad to hear it :3

[harsh abyss]

You’re welcome, of course!

|| I also didn’t realize that FLU was not make, my bad. That Was that last part of the chapter/entry, Yes..?.. ||

[unique patrol]

The FLU section was the last part

[harsh abyss]

K, Thanks..!..

[unique patrol]

Oh boy, this goes to unexpected places ... I imagined it to be more ... idyllic.
1900 words in, time for bed.

[harsh abyss]

Nice job! I hope that you have a good rest, then..!..

[unique patrol]

Will have. And hopefully dream up a way to untangle this mess of a dialogue ||without making gales lose her marbles||

[harsh abyss]

Funny, but, yes, I agree. If you succeed in untangling this mess, Gales will officially be more sane than ANY of my characters..!.. I do mean that in a literal sense as well, By The Way..!..

[unique patrol]

Which doesn't mean much I assume :p
Gales will turn into joker. Hypersanity achieved. The vat of acid she already has

[harsh abyss]

I mean that all of my characters are either messed up, insane, sick in the head, or two of the three, or just all of them together.

[unique patrol]

The chapter is essentially done. A bit editing, a bit proof reading with my source for figuring out if I caught the personality of the canon character.

It is a bit frustrating that i won't be able to publish this chapter with a corresponding image. Well, later I guess

[steady whale]

Augh I gotta catch up!! You’re so fast

[unique patrol]

I'm the blur

[unique patrol]

Quick 10 minute pre- sketch before work.

Ok, maybe 15 min

[static pecan]

Damn that's a big ass tail

[unique patrol]

Bit too big. But SMs tail does look massive in some pictures

[steady whale]

I would just make it thinner

Cute pic though :3

[unique patrol]

I will, when work is over.
Can’t scan it in for now, but so the chapter has at least one picture I can later upgrade

[harsh abyss]

Okay that’s adorable.

[unique patrol]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55635643/chapters/143047789

Chapter 9 is online. The meeting commences.

And the Suns image is as finished as it can get without a laptop to colour it in.

[sterile briar]

I wanted to sleep and now I cant

also really cute art

[unique patrol]

2500 words between you and sleep

[sterile briar]

well better start now

[unique patrol]

24k words already. A few more chapters and this will be my second longest story

[sterile briar]

And done!

first things first im about to steal @static pecan job

way instead of was

hehehe

[unique patrol]

How evil. You can't take away his destiny

[sterile briar]

always wanted to do that

[harsh abyss]

Nice!

[sterile briar]

ok but now for the chapter
we're getting somewhere with Gales' ||umbilical staff|| i think??? might take a while but i didnt think that sky wouls be the one to mention it. i just kinda thought it might be lives
we're also getting our first look ||at suns this|| chapter. ||Them feeling guilty about everything that happend just makes sense, because of course they would.||

wth???

my message got blocked due to inapropriate stuff???

what did i do?

[unique patrol]

||Oh, it will be lives in the end to deliver the actual solid plans. But I imagined Sky as most logical of the bunch would be better to narrow down the options to a singular one.||

Probably the title of an inappropriate fic?

[sterile briar]

aghhhh

yep

got it

i said|| esuba lamina || backwards

related that i wanted to file a complain if the overseer got mistreated anymore

[unique patrol]

Oh

[sterile briar]

and that i was glad that that wastn the case anymore

didnt know that was blocked

im not getting blocked now right?

pls dont

[unique patrol]

Don't think so

[sterile briar]

i formally apoligize to all the sever staff, pls dont ban me
it wont happen again and i will read the rules again

ok but back to the actual subject, really nice chapter!

Also, stop writing so quick it tells me that i could do more if i found the motivation /j

[unique patrol]

It will slow down very soon. Once the exam prep time starts

[sterile briar]

||but yeah the idea of overseers being able to reseive energy from an iterator is really neat||

to be honest i was thinking of a way to get the overseer in my work to be absent for the first half of the chapter and one of my ideas was that it would have to recharge, i just still dont know how

[unique patrol]

Still ||Gales only did share her energy signature with the Overseer because them remaining active was crucial. The Color Shift is something that shows disloyalty of the Overseer, it is an offer Iterators usually refuse to give out of politeness and respect||

[sterile briar]

that poor overseer

i want a side story where it goes around on an arti revenge like plot and gets their revenge

[unique patrol]

Revenge for what?

[sterile briar]

for doing their job

they're just unlucky that they get stuck with the worst parts

[unique patrol]

Not necessarily

[sterile briar]

to bad for them that they cant quit

[harsh abyss]

My Overseer has one main weakness: Neglect. He spends so much time with others that care for him and accompanies them so much, that he literally cannot handle being ignored by a large group, or even just being alone at all. He is too intelligent.

[sterile briar]

overseer angst my beloved

[unique patrol]

||I can imagine Sky not wanting to reset or discard that particular Overseer given they now hold the energy of someone dear, given out of empathy.||

[sterile briar]

Yes, give that overseer some love

[sterile briar]

||(also discard ?)||

[unique patrol]

Who knows. Given Sky is known to experiment with purposed lifeforms and mutates them into intelligent specialized organisms he probably has the source gene-code of an Overseer to apply new features to different generations.

[sterile briar]

who knows, who knows

ok but im going to bed now, its 1 am and i still have to work today

[unique patrol]

Not just you. Saturday work my beloved.

[sterile briar]

yikes, it got us both

[unique patrol]

Yep, have a good rest

[sterile briar]

same, and night

[inner steeple]

EATS chapter
||Spear's concern despite everything that already happened to them Gales is right, this is what you need, Sky! ||

[mental cosmos]

Do you mean formerly or formally?

[unique patrol]

Fixed

[unique patrol]

100% ||Sky needs emotional support scug||

[static pecan]

Unemployed

Perhaps even jobn't

[sterile briar]

na, you can have your job back. your better at it anyways

[static pecan]

Wait so is this meant to be cycle or is circle also a time measure?

I will never be

[unique patrol]

Fixed

[static pecan]

Approaching fast maybe?

[unique patrol]

Is fast approaching is an official term. When something gets closer in huge steps

[mental cosmos]

This one’s fine.

[static pecan]

Here perhaps "was already bad while it was being actively developed"

[static pecan]

Huh

Uh shouldn't it be "he was manually controlling the hands"? Also here it should be slugpup's

Missing space after broke

Not sure what's going on in the end here tbh

Also I assume this is where ||Shifting Gales' wild ride|| begins >:)

[unique patrol]

State after SMs campaign.

[unique patrol]

Not … quite yet. Well, you know what the final solution will be. ||But nobody says the final solution has to be the first. They are Iterators after all, multiple iterations inbound||

Anyway. I am glad you all enjoy my silly story so much <3

[static pecan]

Ooh okay now this sentence clicked for me, yeah, I see

[inner steeple]

Might flow better with ||"their actions had destroyed"?||

[static pecan]

Yeah I think that would make it more clear?

[unique patrol]

True

Fixed. Now I will be gone. Work

[inner steeple]

Nyoom

[harsh abyss]

Someone has said that about him in those exact words before.

[harsh abyss]

Just read it, loved it. Especially the end. || Seven Red Suns’ personality reminds me kind of like my own version of Seven Red Suns. ||

[unique patrol]

Yeah, ||Suns post-collapse personality is quite easy to pin down. The actual challenge is to picture their personality when not being dragged down by guilt||

[harsh abyss]

When I typed that, I realized just how weird my timeline is——oh right I forgot I knew that.

In my universe:

|| Five Pebbles gets The Rot in Sliver’s Lifetime. ||

|| I also consider The Ancients as very much horrible, and I consider them the same in every universe. Magnanimous Insight would tear apart any Ancients he could find if any still exist. ||

[unique patrol]

Ohh, I see. Yeah, that changes a few things.
And yep, the Ancients are horrible, their Nike kicks tell you all. Predestined schoolyard bullies.

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, but I consider even the canonical Ancients how I usually consider The Ancients of any AU. An example is in Magnanimous Insight’s documents.

[unique patrol]

Will look into it.

[harsh abyss]

Thanks!

[unique patrol]

Oh, btw. Had a great idea how to continue, already 500 words in the next chapter

[harsh abyss]

Nice!

[unique patrol]

Will be a tiny bit less linear than what I initially envisioned. But that feels like a natural progression

[harsh abyss]

That is fine. I like that, honestly..!..

[unique patrol]

Had to do it

I will very likely not use this in an upcoming chapter, but I had to draw it now that I have my new laptop

[harsh abyss]

Ha! That is still very good art, honestly! Congratulations upon getting a new computer or laptop as well, by the way..!..

[unique patrol]

Would have preferred if my old would still be functioning, but one can't have everything

[harsh abyss]

Yep..

I know that feeling, alright..

[static pecan]

Slap on wheels

[unique patrol]

How about spider legs? :p

[static pecan]

Fuckin that one wild west movie with that huge steam powered spider walker thing

[unique patrol]

I know exactly which movie you are referring to. Great scene.
||Ok, now I regret going the staff direction:p||

[static pecan]

I don't even remember the movie nor the name in full, I just remember the damn thing

[unique patrol]

Wild wild west

[static pecan]

Yeah that lmao

[harsh abyss]

That’s My Iterator!

[static pecan]

our

[harsh abyss]

Good point. But I had Spiderator first..!..

[unique patrol]

I won't steal it :p
Monkerator it will be. With the glowstaff of enlightenment

[static pecan]

The power of the sun, officer

[unique patrol]

Lil 40 min headshot

[unique patrol]

Now with cables

[harsh abyss]

Amazing art.

[unique patrol]

First section of the chapter finally finished, roughly 2k.
Now the question. A bit more prep fluff with Suns, a return to the Scug or an effort to boost the Scavenger agenda ... hmm
...
What aspect do I wanna focus on first.
I think .... Suns would be the best so that I can return to parallel pacing next chapter?
...
I will decide after dinner

[harsh abyss]

Alright, then! I hope that it all goes over well for you, then..!..

[unique patrol]

Still have no clue

[unique patrol]

Chapter 10 is online! A milestone and the end of the first arc. Also the beginning of the fun section.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55635643/chapters/143282059

[harsh abyss]

Nice..!..

[woven cedar]

Finally caught up! Put my thoughts in the comment on AO3 though

[unique patrol]

Answered your thoughts. I am amused. I have some forethought here, but things are more falling into place naturally than how I have planned in advance. You see the tags:p

Also we have passed 1000 hits! People see my stuff ;3

[static pecan]

Here "I have"

||Slugcat out of the box, what she gonna do||

[unique patrol]

Argh

Stupid have I. The German in me find this correct. 'Habe ich'

[unique patrol]

Fixed

[unique patrol]

Still miles away from drawing a convincing Slugcat

[static pecan]

The stripes make it look like the head is glued on

... Seems a bit too humanoid?

[unique patrol]

Heh, true that.
And what can I say? My skills are 100% invested in humanoid body forms. I rarely if ever drew anything animal related

Will continue to iterate

[static pecan]

||... rain world reference||

[unique patrol]

Iterators == Artists

Hence why in many fics I already read Pebbles or NSH were artists or musicians to pass the time

[mental cosmos]

Throw shit at a wall until something clicks.

[unique patrol]

Heh

[unique patrol]

But really. I want to keep the scope of Corroded Destiny reasonable. Probably with the core story finishing when Gales reaches Sky or Lives/Whisper.

Everything after that would be told in an own story. Be it the mystery Sliver of Straw, the situation around moon, some future state with Suns or something entirely different.

With a satisfactory final journey to finish it when I have enough.

[woven cedar]

Well, you are the author! I just speculated a bit. you should do what you feel is right

[unique patrol]

Keep speculating. I already incorporated quite a few suggestions

Especially that one thing (TM) I hope to explore soon

||We already established that the ancients removed her puppet regularly from her superstructure for ‚maintenance reasons‘ … yet nobody of the Iterators can recall any noticeable down time of her can. … only an odd temporary shift in her readiness to chat.||

[woven cedar]

||ah... I assume no iterator would have any record of that. So it must be Ancients' own records. Gales now could access the City so she probably will eventually find those huh....||

[unique patrol]

||Maybe, but things are quite weird. No Iterator was even aware of her ability to detach until her acidic malheur. Not even a millisecond that showed them that she was gone, even only temporarily. … And a maintenance does take more than that.||

[woven cedar]

Hmmm, i can make a guess, but it just seems too convoluted to be true without any evidence yet....

[unique patrol]

Feel free to guess, either here or in DMs

[woven cedar]

Maybe a little too weird but what if
||There's a fake/bodydouble of Gales? But I cant think of any supporting clues for this yet, or even why the ancients would go that far... Hmmmmm||

[unique patrol]

Interesting theory. … hmm, that’s good. Not too far fetched then, but enough to not be fully obvious.

[woven cedar]

I guess I'll have to wait and see

[unique patrol]

Yep. I can however say I look forward to drawing the scenes in my cranium

[static pecan]

That's why she's called Shifting Gales

[unique patrol]

whistles

[static pecan]

So I guess ||switch to unaware double while commiting a lil bit of sinning.|| There is also the briefly mentioned memory loss

[unique patrol]

[woven cedar]

[static pecan]

I think we are onto something here

[unique patrol]

Onto something indeed. … maybe I dropped too many clues.

[unique patrol]

Apparently dropwings were my nemesis.
Soo, Spearmaster campaign finished, now I know better how to write suns, I think

[sterile briar]

which campaigns are still left then?

rivulet and saint would be my guess???

but riv could be done already too

also damn, those poor lantern mice

[unique patrol]

All but Survivor :P

Hit brick walls with gourmand and artificer, skipped via remix to spearmaster. I know most about rivulet and will do saint next so that I can finally contribute in stories discussions

[sterile briar]

nice

saint is my favorit so im excited to see what you think

[sterile briar]

also im running that joke into the ground
had to be creative with letters a bit cause i cant use the same twice

[unique patrol]

it sadly happens

Also, @sterile briar. I hope you got all my answers to the comments

:3

[sterile briar]

havent seen the newest for now but now i will check it out

and up to date

maybe i should start to answer all my coments as well?

i kinda feel bad if i dont but im not sure what i could write besides repeating thank yous all the time

[unique patrol]

Sigh, same issue as with the comment system in Worldanvil. Gimme the ability to like a comment like in Deviantart so that one can see that I read it...

[sterile briar]

that would be a blessing

for now i will stay quiet and try to comment at the very least on people that write more than one (besides the ones were i actually know what i can answer)

[unique patrol]

I answered to all but two comments

[sterile briar]

didnt even see that

to me it just looked like you answered every single one

[unique patrol]

i mean in total. 26 threads, I answered 24 = 50 comments

[sterile briar]

nice number!!!

[unique patrol]

oh wait. I only didn't answer 1. it didn't update.

I mean what can I say to 'epic new chapter W' what i didn't say in the other one sentence comments of that person already?

[sterile briar]

lol my second ever coment i dont get till this day

what does that mean!?!?!

i googled and apparently its positive so im not complaining but im so confused

[static pecan]

/piece of shit (/j)

[static pecan]

Maybe do riv first

Riv is fun and also

[sterile briar]

the way i believed that for like a second

[static pecan]

You get to experience the Consequences Of Your Actions™

[static pecan]

How am i supposed to make it more clear this was sarcastic???

[sterile briar]

i have to agree with that

[sterile briar]

nah i got that, idk. my brain just said that

[static pecan]

Without riv you would likely go "oh" at one point, whereas with riv you instead go "oh. I did that."

[sterile briar]

cant agree more

[unique patrol]

fine

coffee addict scug next

[unique patrol]

started writing on chapter 11. Mhmm, I like the shift. Writing Scuggy is fun.

[steady whale]

All caught up!!

Things are getting interesting :3

[unique patrol]

Woo!

[unique patrol]

First 1100 words of chapter 11 written. Scug really needs a name. I already grow tired of referring to her with indirect terms <.<

[steady whale]

Gales could give her a cute name

[unique patrol]

But she can't now.

[steady whale]

Oh right…

[unique patrol]

And her getting named Irradiant is still a bit off.

[steady whale]

Guess sky will have to do his best

(Or worst)

[sterile briar]

probably worst

[steady whale]

Gales would want him to name her so maybe he’d try?

It would probably end up being hilariously bad though lol

[unique patrol]

Oh, I will have my fun ||She just entered his core and I want to write the first contact out of his perspective||

[steady whale]

I’m so excited for them to interact

[unique patrol]

Me as well.

[inner steeple]

||What's wrong with calling her Irradiant? :O||

[unique patrol]

Not yet the time for it

[unique patrol]

Alright, the first section of chapter 11 is done, 2450 words. i still have a small second section to do and then I will be able to ship it. Because I have already the artwork drawn I want to use

[woven cedar]

that's a lot of words! I'd imagine a lot will happen?

[unique patrol]

Mhm, and that out of alternating perspectives

Also ||Suns will prolly join sooner as intended||

[woven cedar]

||Ohhh! Also Spearmaster?||
But maybe I need to refrain myself from looking at all the spoilers I need to leave something to still surprise me

[unique patrol]

Pff

There is still plenty I haven't talked about yet. No worries

[unique patrol]

Aight, second part done, now at 3100 words. Work now and when I get back I will edit and upload it

[woven cedar]

...I think I said this before, but wow you're fast! Again, I wish I had that kind of energy and enthusiasm. That's really something!

[unique patrol]

Oh, the second part covered a section I was very excited about. The words just poured out on the screen

Honestly I am tempted to add some more of that in the next chapter, even if it doesn’t necessarily advance the plot

[woven cedar]

Ah I know that feeling, although not very often... But when that happens everything does feel super smooth indeed

[unique patrol]

Mhm. Just one word: Sunpeak
You won’t know what that is :p

[woven cedar]

...hm, since you're going to post the chapter soon, I will know that quickly enough anyway

[unique patrol]

True. But what is the first that comes to your mind with that word?

[mental cosmos]

I can get it to happen occasionally.

When it does, I feel like an Iterator.

[unique patrol]

Also depressed:p

[mental cosmos]

A deity working away at something great.

[unique patrol]

That as well

[woven cedar]

Hmm, it's not a word or concept that came to mind when I read that word... I got the mental image of a sunrise view on the top of an iterator, but i doubt that's relevant or close to what it actually means haha

Hmm, but I'd guess... A place?

[unique patrol]

Mhm, that’s good.

Instills the correct feeling

[steady whale]

Same I’m so jealous. I was like this for a few weeks right when I started but I’m getting less productive every chapter

Soul is absolutely killing it rn

[unique patrol]

I will be getting to a full stop by the mid of this month for a month however. Exams approaching

[mental cosmos]

I'm stumbling with the other perspective in mine.

[unique patrol]

And with that am I gone. Work begins. Cya in 4 hours

[woven cedar]

Ah it seems like exam season is looming over most everyone huh... Good luck y'all

[unique patrol]

Chapter 11 is online. We passed the 30k words milestone

Neat, am now in the top 50 of the longest Rainworld fanfics

[static pecan]

To be fond of

[unique patrol]

Whoops

[static pecan]

"Thought to herself" I think

[unique patrol]

Whoops^2

[static pecan]

Either "now appeared angry" or "appeared angry now", unless you want it to be like "it popped up looking angry" in which case comma after appeared

[unique patrol]

The commata is probably the way to go. Re-appeared, now angry

[static pecan]

Chucked i think?

[static pecan]

Up to you

Okay i'm not sure what should go here but I have my doubts with chugged

Also I like that throwing stuff in zero-g breaks physhics, that's real cool

He was

Comma after also

No clue what went down here tbh I mean I think I get what you mean but it seems cluncky

Comma after better, I believe

[unique patrol]

Hm

[static pecan]

I'd move illnesses to before possibly

[unique patrol]

Oh, that sounds better

[static pecan]

Effectiveness?

Commas after well and anymore

Both our?

||feminine spearmaster? huh that's a first, cool||

[unique patrol]

Feminine? Have I missed a they?

Oh, I did

Alright, everything fixed

[static pecan]

Oh so it was a mistake gotcha

||Next up: AS is a terrible parent||

[unique patrol]

Sorry, yeah it was. ^^' SM is they, as much as I hate using that term. It reads wrong ...

And yep, ||AS is indeed a terrible parent, given he has no parent figures as well. Only people he interacted with were Iterators and scientists who treated him like an oracle||

[woven cedar]

||It is a place! And my intuition was correct!||

Wrote more detailed comment on Ao3 tho, nice work!

[sterile briar]

same here, left my comment!
nice chapter!
||cant wait for sky to become a terrible dad (at least for the start) ||

[woven cedar]

||In a way he already did child neglect!||

[sterile briar]

||nahhhh, its fine, no child neglect could be found. BASELESS LIES I SAY ||

||at least sky didnt brain blast and infant with the mark ||

||looks at banans pebbles||

[unique patrol]

Read your both comments and loved them to pieces :3 Answered both as well

||Sky becoming a bad parent is preprogrammed. Maybe Suns can help, after noticing the similarities between them (apart from the fact that suns definitely is way more social than Sky having led a religion and such)||

[sterile briar]

excuse me what???

did i miss sth?

[unique patrol]

I just did, like 3 minutes ago

[sterile briar]

||Suns just casually leading an entire religion is sth to read out of context||

[unique patrol]

||I mean I was quite clear I think that they designed Sunpeak as a way for the religious core to have a place dedicated to their believes. With suns being the physical representation of the religion. A voidborn||

[sterile briar]

omg that's such a cool idea, ||i love it when writers go more into the religions of the setting. ||

and i really just missed that, im saying im not to blame since i only just woke up

[unique patrol]

No worries

Anyway, I have a few things in my headcannon that will render ||Suns interactions with Sky|| quite enticing given their origins of creation ||differ in quite a few aspects despite the obvious with suns being gen 2 and Sky gen 1||
||Religious movement meets cold hard science movement||

[unique patrol]

Also @woven cedar I love your comment so much. The breakdown of ||Suns and SMs relationship hits the nail on the head! You can imagine that this will deepen further in the future given some quite strong impressions I have regarding Spearmaster I want to explore||

[woven cedar]

aw thank you.

||saying that, you aren't planning some distressing situations as the ground for those development to happen, right?||
||...right? ||

[unique patrol]

Nope. ||More like a reflection/Realisation thing in consequence to them having to endure Sky‘s obliviousness:p||

[woven cedar]

||Oh. That's gonna be painful for Suns lol.||

[unique patrol]

Anyway, work now

[woven cedar]

Good luck!

[unique patrol]

Pff, chapter 12 will be quite the challenge. To finally finalize the version of that interaction I want to go with ... I have like 50 different versions of that interaction all with varying end results. Thought much about that ... but now to figure out the most natural way ... difficult

[unique patrol]

Session over, first 1000 words of the chapter done

[unique patrol]

First section of chapter 12 done ... I did an 180 on my initial script

[unique patrol]

Chapter 12 of Corroded Destiny - A new contact.

[static pecan]

"It at least helped" sounds better i believe

[unique patrol]

will adress them after dinner ^^

[static pecan]

Aye i will get on it in the meantime

After the 3 dots it just sounds weird. Maybe "at least i was able to undo that mistake"?

[steady whale]

I didn't notice this on my first read, but is this supposed to be 'serenity'?

[static pecan]

Maybe ||"In less than 1.500 cycles this rebellious … Slugcat … must be able to"||

"I will spare the details"?

"I know my dear senior for far too long already"

Maybe just "patrolled the legs..."?

Also sky being socially inept as always lmao

[steady whale]

||aww... suns would absolutely be looking for a way to absolve themselves of the guilt of the whole pebbles and moon thing. Grabbing onto this new way to do some good...||

I really like your take on suns. I know you were worried about writing a canon character but you're doing an excellent job so far

*naught

*cycle

GOOD CHAP

loved everything about this one

I can't wait for more sky & irradiant interaction. her just casually chewing his wires in the BG lmao

scug baby... baby mischief...

[inner steeple]

||Every bowl is a bread bowl for this scug huh ||
||WAWA||
||Sky this is not a lizard. What are you doing||
||Praise the SUN||
||Aww nooo Suns is afraid ||
||Suns: I CAN FIX HER, LEMME HELP PLEASE||

||Breaker's return maybe?!?||

[unique patrol]

Aight, fixed all errors

Now to read

[unique patrol]

I am glad to hear that. I was very concerned about that indeed. But now I have a bit of my own story regarding Suns I can follow, Sure, their influence on the story might or might not cause a cameo of at least NSH at some point, but for the most part can I keep Suns isolated in that story.

||And yep, poor boyo needs this to cope. And maybe it will even help a bit to return back to stability (Unlike other fics I read where Suns became the resident depri without any drive to do anything. That is unlike them in my point of view. Repenting is a religious thing to do.||

[steady whale]

ohohoho I would LOVE to see NSH in this

[unique patrol]

Hehehe, sky is doing the bare minimum. A genius in his craft, a weakling on the field of compassion. ||A scientific mind meets a religious mind||

And yep, ||Breaker will return. I am far from done with his story||

[unique patrol]

Me as well. Although am I even more scared to write him. Too witty for my writing style. I will have to get me some assistance from a friend to write him ... if I do .P

50 Kudos! Woo!

[inner steeple]

I left that one

[steady whale]

I've already kudos'd right?

[unique patrol]

waited on purpsose, did ya? :P

[steady whale]

yep

[inner steeple]

Yesn't

[steady whale]

I could go in for the secondary guest kudos...

but your perfect 50 :'3

[inner steeple]

Truthfully I didn't even notice Yeah I meant to do that for sure

[unique patrol]

hehehe

Also question in the present round. If I want to sketch something small to this chapter tomorrow, what should I attempt?

[inner steeple]

||Wire munch||

[unique patrol]

More scug test sketches then

[steady whale]

scug?? scug sketch??

someone else ruined your 50 so I dropped my guest kudos hehe

mmmm number go up
