Hello it is I, the Popcorn enjoyer anon, no longer anon because like.. I'm not really hiding anything and I have no reason to be anxious on tumblr of all places. I've got a question about the wholeness of Dancing. Since she doesn't splinter off into multiple timelines and is a Whole Being, what happens if she dies from something? Would she still get the information from the future she technically hadn't lived through yet?
Hello there #1 Popcorn fan!!! No need to hide we all chill here
What I was thinking is that instead of all of Dancing's memories traveling through time, time literally fully rewinds in the case of her dying. For normal creatures, dying would go like this, for reference:
Both of those realities and timelines exist, it depends who's perspective we're watching them through right now. That's why Ringing's children are dead - we are watching the one branch where that was the case from her perspective.
I imagined Dancing to be kind of a "representant" or "ambassador of the world" itself, she's somewhat of a higher point of reference, a guardian of said spacetime (which she'd become during the equivalent of her in-game plotline in RoF) working alongside it. Spacetime which she doesn't really want to meddle with if it's not needed and there isn't anything endangering the Cycle (put a pin in that :-) ).
Time would also probably rewind to the last time she slept, for the sake of consistency with the hibernation respawn mechanic and the whole "sleep is like a demo version of death" type of deal.
So any realities that managed to branch off during that period of time (a short one as well, a Slugcat can't go long without some rest once in a while) would also be erased and turned back to the time of Dancing's last nap she took somewhere in time, somewhere in space, but with no memories being sent back in time, rather seamlessly. Events in all those realities would also go how they did the first time, unless Dancing was one involved with them and chose to do something differently this time. But that's something she doesn't really want to do (get it? She's the Watcher. The one who watches [absolute cinema]).
Reminder that this AU has a discord server for anyone interested in similar rambles, added here so it doesn't get lost under the cut ->(CLICK)
Bonus doodle for that train of thought, because after all her fun adventures with the mischevious Echo child, she found a place to call home in Ancient Urban, where there's not much to worry about in the department of "things that could kill me". Honestly after years of wandering dozens of dimensions - she deserves that break.

The long awaited part 2 of this post, featuring watcher and enot!
Look at this post for my slugcat interpretation!
plus enot's old designs:
i think our invs should look at each other with their disgusting big eyes
messing around aside, i really love your designs, especially your enot! are you okay with someone drawing your scugs as a gift at some point of time?
They 100% can look at eachother with the disgusting big eyes and take ibuprofen together
ALSO
1. super flattered
2. Feel free!! I would be overjoyed and probably start running around my room on all fours like a feral animal
i wanted to redesign glados bc the other one i made was awful, i wanted to give her some things from Caroline so i had to give her that iconic scarf, her hair is also a bit similar but i made it more straight to remind more of the rectangle shape that glados' head has. as for the body i wanted to give her some regular suit but it turns out to be this…. i don't see her differently than old yuri lady so she has some wrinkles love her
I was thinking of a rain world OC in the spirit of the Downpour campagins with set plot and goals.
I first wanted to call this dude "The Craftsman/The Wright" but I think their iterator may or may not get a bit more attached to his repairman scug so they get a proper name.
The lore and the message I have in my head is still very fluid, but I wanted to think of something from a perspective of an iterator cut-off from communication that missed every transmission about tragedies all around and one of many slugcats made just to repair said communication devices. Scug existencial crisis ensues
May or may not post more about them
Once in a few months I remember I'm looking forward to Doll Eye chapter 2 a lot and make various drawings.... Wanted to post a collection of new doodles here because I always went to tumblr for archived niche series fanart from X years back, so I want to also archive mine here

RAIN WORLD THE WATCHER OPENING CUTSCENE SPOILERS (?)
Some people noticed that the other slugpup from the opening is a really similar color to Gourmand and as much as we know that's not him, I still like that headcanon
Imagine your sister gets lost between dimensions damn
If any of you took a good look at my slugcat designs you can notice that all of the outer expanse fellas (Gourm, Surv and Monk) are way more slug than cat - having the funky frills, longer "whiskers" (except surv whatev). I actually designed Watcher a day before the DLC came out because I couldn't wait, so it was super fun to see the opening cutscene be in what seemed like that region - would fit the look I have for her and she shares the same cape design element as Monk!
Would also fit this silly vision I had here if they were all somehow related lmao, then Watcher would be the honorary member of the "dot on the left cheek" outer expanse gang
