MY CREATURE!!! Thank you so much!!!
[DEYENDEIS MHATES] - “Red Rodent”
Drawing of The parade for @fishyaudio , art arena 2025 !!!
I love their design !!! Huuuge soft spot for 6 legged beings here ^^;;
howdy, got some questions about the designs themselves [maybe also as a break from the tangle of existential cycles among cycles inside cycles]. Why does Upturned have four arms? Is it related to him being an anomaly? Also who do you think takes the longest to get dressed? And on the same subject, does Fallen's tongue ever dry out from dangling out of her mask from day to day stuff for so long?
Thank you, that is a needed break (*sounds of bleeding out onto the pages of the masterdoc* /j)
Honestly when designing Upturned I didn't even have an AU in mind. The figure on the left of the violence karma mural appeared to have a decorative, second pair of arms, so I thought hey, who else deserves weird four arms out of nowhere if not her. I'll probably leave it as it because it just signals that something about this guy is not exactly how a standard Slugcat should be. From the story standpoint (and to not get in too deep into the timey wimey branches-timelines-cycles) I see Upturned as somewhat of an antithesis of Dancing.
Dancing is a careful watcher working outside the cycle and all the madness of different, convoluted paths, while having the potential to have most impact on them, while Upturned would be an oxymoron of someone who's "whole when shattered", always inside the system and under its rule, but with the aspiration to experience and adore it all as is (funnily enough being on two ends of the RoF anomaly spectrum leads them to getting along better rather than somehow making them antagonistic), NOT being in constant torment, but being rather fine with ascension or reincarnation, by choice, not really being on the table for him. In the context of that role - the four arms are a visual representation of that nature of wanting to interact with everything. Origin story wise? I don't think I want to tackle where Upturned would even come from exactly, that'd take away from her being a bit of a cryptid. Maybe I'll change my mind, for now she's vague as a treat.
To answer the second question - probably Upturned because she's a diva. All Slugcats that doomed themselves with using bandages and ribbons tied around them as clothing are also victims of a long morning routine though.
And for the last one - probably doesn't because it isn't always out, she's a cultured being. On a tangent it made me wonder if Sliver of Straw, as that's her maker in this AU, would bless her with not having taste or doom her with having to taste rusted metal and moss when actually using it as a grappling hook. Also she probably looks super funny when doing that. Thankfully, we're talking about a fanfiction and not a platformer game, so tongue-grapple-hook can be limited to a last resort option/useful tool to get all the fruit growing high above down without much struggle.
Obligatory wip to not just leave a wall of text there. Thank you for the ask!
Ah the endless matryoshka

Funnily enough I wasn't aware that this event exists and I'm really glad it does, I was starting to miss artfight rahh
How do Iterators work in your AU? Sorry if you have explained it already!
I actually haven't, they only have like... One paragraph about them in the masterdoc that will be expanded upon.
Iterators are pretty close to the original game when it comes to what they do and how they treat Slugcats, the thing that differs most is how Slugcats react to that. (scug centered content creator there, ahh).
(small sneak peek of a thing I'm working on right now as a bonus illustration)
They all still kinda live in their own world, one which is day by day crumbling apart more and more, with communications failing and more Iterators collapsing. There's a big gap between Iterators and Slugcats, mostly because Slugcats, more often than not, treat them like authorities or god-like figures since they were the closest to the Ones Before.
That reputation is slowly confronted with the facts and experiences of Messengers and Scugs who stumbled upon Iterators independently, making them realize that they are neither the smartest and most divine beings alive, nor are they tyrannical rulers who think too highly of themselves - they are also flawed creatures, ones that aren't exactly comfortable that their time in the cycle is coming to an end.

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.
I was reading through the info about your RoF scugs and I've learned about Popcorn, please show us a typical Shine and Popcorn interaction please!
Popcorn is quite a sweetheart, but looks a bit scary. They'd love naps and playing fetch

I honestly expected like. 4 votes on the RoF discord server poll. not almost 30
I currently archived all drawings, made short character descriptions, have a worldbuilding masterdoc in progress and most importantly:
I have emojis to offer. 10 for now, more to come.
thank you to @magiturge for hosting a magma last night. It was a lot of fun!
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
Hey if I made a small Discord server for Rhythm of Falls AU rambles would you guys be interested and would join yes or no
no chatroom (I have 0 time to moderate), just a board of read/react-only channels with art and rambles (longer than ones I post here), irregular pings for new content AND emojis for all the nitro users with the anthro scugs
^ yes I made a typo in impatient (dies) (im👖ient)
Overall I'm more focused on my original content, but I really don't want to loose spark for this pastime project and if there are people willing to listen, I'd love the audience and the motivation kick
Wanting to be found

Finished all "references" for the anthro Scugs/Rhythm of Falls AU since it has a name now. Also - they come with a full list of names and pronouns because I got attached to my headcanons. You can find all content related to the AU under #rwrof au tag.
Taking on the common approach of pinching the timeline so they all can meet and interact with each other during their lifetimes, moreover - some of the scugs get familiar bonds that weren't in game (guess who based on my shipping preferences and design traits)(hard /j)
I plan to post a family tree soon enough + I have *some* ideas floating around in my head about them all and possible canon timeline for this AU but it's still very unstable and rough. If you have any questions/drawing requests for those guys, feel free to send them my way! It'd be super cool to dwell on this AU more and would serve as a huge motivation kick.
I always somehow imagined anthropomorphized Rivulet as a very gnc guy and it stuck to me + the moustache is one of my favourite design decisions from the whole lineup.
Couldn't bring myself to separate Upturned and Fallen so now we're going in groups of threes
Also, just noticed that Enot's/Upturned's full name got messed up in the process (fitting) - the full is "Crack of Shells, Nine Colors Upturned"!
Monk/Shine is still the younger sibling, but this time - not the smaller one! I really wanted to imagine him as a "gentle giant" sort of deal.
+ he matches with his sibling when it comes to the zebra pattern sleeve.
i got into this horse racing stuff that's been going around recently and made some designs for the horses!
Ancient-style anthro slugcats part 10, Survivor!
Emo. Or "Countless Ways of Voices Below", seemed fitting!
And we're done!! Technically I'll still make a lineup in ms paint for clearer colors for the guys, I actually started already. Clearly all the designs slowly turned into a small AU which, for now at least, got a cool little name of "Rhythm of Falls", relating to both the rain and another thing that comes around in circles in Rain World.
