five pebbles checking his steam account after moon called him on discord at an inconvenient time
since I FINALLY finished a proper ref of Thunderclouds, I thought it would be time to properly introduce him, so, here's this guy's lore:
Distant Thunderclouds is the fourth oldest member of the Eternal Glaciers Local Group (or, the second oldest if we only count the inner group), as he was built not long after Fading Echo was finished. The whole group was built on a tundra, but Thunderclouds specifically was built on the flatter areas as his can was built next to a large void fluid processing facility. He was created to oversee the operations at this facility as well as in his city.
For this reason, his creator, an ancient by the name of Twisted Spine, All Promises Kept (a total douchebag), wanted to make him as efficient as possible. But after the authority in charge of the creation of iterators refused to let Spine alter Thunderclouds's systems officially, Spine became frustrated that his project wasn't going according to his plan. So, instead of going through official channels to modify Thunderclouds's systems to become more efficient (efficiency basically meant a lack of empathy and free will, and the inability to commit any sins to Spine, because he was still a pretty firm believer in the old ancient philosophies and religion), he decided to do the modifications himself in secret. This, however, messed up Thunderclouds's systems pretty bad, as he had already developed the sentience that his creator didn't want him to have, and even attempting to modify it caused Thunderclouds a large amount of pain. After a while, Spine grew more frustrated about the whole situation and started taking his anger out on Thunderclouds, who, at this time, still saw Spine as a father figure, but was slowly starting to dislike not only Spine, but ancients as a whole.
Thunderclouds was also really reserved, and only spoke to most of his local group out of necessity. The only exception to this was Solemn Contemplation, the outer group's senior, who became kind of a mentor/almost a mother figure to Thunderclouds. He eventually managed to find a friend outside of his local group as well, an iterator by the name of Marble Blood, who aided him in finding ways to bypass his city's security protocols, which he would later use.
Still, his relationship with his creator only worsened, to the point where he'd be punished for simply talking to other iterators, as Spine still only cared about him as a tool, and slowly, Thunderclouds became frustrated by his situation, and grew hateful of the ancients inhabiting his city. And when a huge snowstorm disabled his communications for dozens of cycles, and he was blamed for being unable to call for assistance, he decided he had enough. He turned his city's security systems against its inhabitants, which resulted in the death of most of his can's population, including Spine. After the storm cleared, and the ancients of the other iterators' cities realized what happened, Thunderclouds was declared a hazard to the ancients, and his systems were disabled (he basically got his power shut off, causing him to go into a kind of coma).
A long time after all of this, and after the ancients all ascended, was when he finally got reactivated using a neuron that Ten Open Passages created, that he sent using a genetically modified slugcat (the icebound).
(And that's basically all his backstory, cause I don't have anything written down after that, so, that's it for now)
Video game I saw in a dream. It was in this low poly style like an older video game. You play as this character I think was meant to be a lamb, or maybe a weird mix of a lamb a mouse and a rabbit, (while not really looking like any of those things) and you’re running away from a wolf. Your objective is to last as long as possible before the wolf catches and eats you.
The house you’re running in is endless and bizarrely put together like most building interiors in dreams are (like the infinite toilet dream dimension on Reddit lol) the layout of the house is pretty detailed, you can stop and hide in places like closets or bins while the wolf looks for you, you can go up and down stairs and into rooms etc.
You never actually know where the wolf is or how close it is to you until it appears in your line of sight, it makes no noise and the game gives you no way of knowing where it is, and it’s pretty unpredictable it doesnt move at a consistent pace. When the wolf catches you there’s an animation showing it eating your character
Saw this one-armed little guy on my way home. Moved him off the road so he wouldn't get stepped on, I hope he's safe <3

saw someone misspell "stochastic terror" as "socratic terror" so I'd like to clarify that stochastic terror is the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act that seems random but is not, while "socratic terror" is what every athenian felt when they went down to the agora in the 5th century and saw an old man with a beard approaching them

[PRIVATE COMMUNICATION, ETERNAL GLACIERS LOCAL GROUP]
[PARTICIPANTS: TEN OPEN PASSAGES, DISTANT THUNDERCLOUDS]
DTC: You’re here. I must admit, I’ve been looking forward to speaking with you again.
TOP: Oh, me too! I mean, it’s been quite a few cycles since we last spoke haha. Anyway, how have you been holding up? Being awake again after being dormant for so many cycles must be quite jarring. It would definitely be jarring to me, that’s for sure!
DTC: My systems have mostly been stable ever since I awoke, I would count that as alright.
TOP: Glad to hear that! I’ve been holding up well, too. And how’s your little saviour?
DTC: You just told me that you are holding up well, so-
TOP: Oh, that’s flattering, really, but I meant to ask about the little messenger I sent the neuron with! I must admit I’ve grown quite attached to the creature, and I’m a bit worried about its wellbeing.
DTC: Do not fret, the messenger is fine. But you’re the one I want to thank for restoring me. I can’t even begin to imagine just how much work it must have taken.
TOP: Really, it wasn’t that much! But thank you for thanking me.
DTC: It was much. It was everything to me.
TOP: Really, I’m not the one you should thank! I’m not even the one who created the little messenger. Well, I mean, I did create it, but I got the genetic blueprint from Evo! I barely even modified it, just rewired some neural functions, and-
DTC: I don’t care. You were still the only one who took the incentive to help me. And quite honestly, I still find it baffling why you helped.
TOP: I- I couldn’t just sit by and let you suffer like that. I know the ancients locked you away for penance, or security, or whatever but still. What you did was-
DTC: Horrible and inexcusable. Everyone knows that much. And it’s not a topic I enjoy talking about.
TOP: I’m sorry for bringing it up…
DTC: Don’t be. I have much to thank you for, and the amount of apologies I owe way outnumber yours.
DTC: And thank you again, for everything.

(I really don't like how the art turned out, but I guess I'll just have to live with it lol. these idiots have been on my brain for a VERY long time now, so I think its about time I put them out in the world)

hey rain world fandom
i made a simple slugcat oc generator and a simple iterator oc generator
suggestions r welcome for whenever i decide to update them again but have fun. they're not particularly made to be extremely complex
names not included uuhh. im not wrangling perchance to make an iterator name generator
look, I know I've talked about this essay (?) before but like,
If you ever needed a good demonstration of the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", have I got an exercise for you.
Somebody made a small article explaining the basics of atomic theory but it's written in Anglish. Anglish is basically a made-up version of English where they remove any elements (words, prefixes, etc) that were originally borrowed from romance languages like french and latin, as well as greek and other foreign loanwords, keeping only those of germanic origin.
What happens is an english which is for the most part intelligible, but since a lot everyday english, and especially the scientific vocabulary, has has heavy latin and greek influence, they have to make up new words from the existing germanic-english vocabulary. For me it kind of reads super viking-ey.
Anyway when you read this article on atomic theory, in Anglish called Uncleftish Beholding, you get this text which kind of reads like a fantasy novel. Like in my mind it feels like it recontextualizes advanced scientific concepts to explain it to a viking audience from ancient times.
Even though you're familiar with the scientific ideas, because it bypasses the normal language we use for these concepts, you get a chance to examine these ideas as if you were a visitor from another civilization - and guess what, it does feel like it's about magic. It has a mythical quality to it, like it feels like a book about magic written during viking times. For me this has the same vibe as reading deep magic lore from a Robert Jordan book.
what a typical wednesday looks like
reading a textbook for class and i’m going insane. why is this just poetry. what. this is a STEM class what’s going on.
Death Stranding maybe? Has a lot of lore paralels with Rain world. First of all the post apocalyptic worlds and the deadly rain (though the rain is dangerous in different ways but it could work I think)
And also the lingering spirits of people who couldn't cross over into the afterlife (echoes and BTs respectively).
The plot of Death Stranding could also probably be altered slightly, and would fit with Rain World basically perfectly. Maybe with a slugcat being tasked to connect iterators to a communication network? Maybe Rubicon could be the parallel of the beach? Or maybe the depths idk. just makes me think of Sam as a slugcat lol. I might actually draw this now.
Anyway that was just my ramblings because I've been playing Death Stranding recently, and the plot is so batshit insane and I cannot stop thinking about it.
Wonder what other medias that can totally crossover rain world with, be it lore paralels or just cool for them to be in that setting
the quality on this got real crunched, but have a pebbs
Has anyone done this
THE FALLEN ANGEL.
yayyy!!!
