i got seven red suns it was totally on my first attempt and i didnt get nsh first why would you think otherwise
Iterators I drew to put on the results of this quiz I made (and also a bonus screenshot redraw):
chaos reigns
It’s too hot to sleep. Which is all wrong because it’s only mid May.
does five pebbles often disappear for very long periods of time or something
suns. what do you mean "not in a long while" he has literally been radio silent for 27,552 cycles. i understand that iterators perceive time as faster than we do but what the fuck . is pebbles disappearing for tens of thousands of cycles a normal occurrence why were they so casual about it if you say 1 cycle = 24 hours (it is probably longer) that makes 27,552 cycles = 75.5 years. it only took 6 cycles for moon to become desperate enough to force communications with pebbles so she was probably dead by then as well. how did this even happen without suns having any idea about it. talk to other local groups a bit more jesus christ dude
say it with me: deserts aren't inherently bad. deserts are very important and are home to many ecosystems. you want an unhealthy, over-exploited desert to become a healthy, thriving desert. you don't want an unhealthy, over-exploited desert to become a forest. deserts and forests are distinct, separate biomes that are both indispensable. you want to see them both at their best. and a desert at its best doesn't look like a forest at its best. they're each beautiful in their own way.
ill be honest I don't know how people look at the single depiction of srs in the entire game and go "yeah that's a 9ft tall furcoat wearing dom yaoi man (/gender neutral!!!!!) right there". suns doesn't fucking look like that... why is there only 2-3 artists drawing them pretty and cute like they actually look

A short collection of pearls I wrote, read from the perspective of Looks to the Moon.
(Inspired by gr0mm.)
It's a deployment order confirmation from an agricultural pest control department, followed by a list of several dozen genome sequences.
This farm purchased a specialized virus to eliminate some kind of burrowing crustacean. However, most of the microbe specimens are for controlling the virus itself, to protect the other useful organisms that allow the farm to function.
My creators' technological dominance meant that the genetic arms race had arguably been won, but such a power had to be wielded with care. Industrial ecosystems were managed incredibly tightly, as the introduction or extinction of a single species could have catastrophic consequences without sufficient counterbalancing.
Outside of these carefully quarantined industrial ecosystems, the rest of the world was largely ignored, left to become wastelands of disease. Life prevailed, of course, even when my creators departed and all these ecosystems rapidly toppled...
...I can't imagine you cared for much of this. Sorry, little creature.
Amazing... this one is a neuro-spiritual stimulant. It records the experience of a moment where a monk lightly dips a finger into a stream of water, and then... his mind is flooded...
...with an astonishing...
...sense... of...
...enlightenment.
My apologies. The feeling is incredibly intense, even to me.
If I still had the equipment to allow you to read this pearl, you would share that same enlightenment. Experiences like these were impossibly rare, and maintaining the potency of the memory while exporting it into a mass-reproduceable pearl was incredibly difficult. The monk likely perished during that transfer process.
Still, the study of these pearls always led to breakthroughs in the karmic sciences, while public exposure to the enlightenment gave rise to...
...
Oh. The enlightening feeling has already worn off. This pearl's probably just the work of a con artist.
This one is a draft for an academic publication. It's probably a sham, as it seems to posit that the numerical accuracy of cusps in an epicycloidal model of karmic patterning correlates with dermal organization patterns. It is simply too unlikely that one's skin has anything to do with...
...This must bore you. Perhaps it would be more interesting to talk about you - the little critter in front of me!
With the life you live, I'm sure you're grimly aware that every animal is made of sacks of meat and circuitry. You, too, are no exception.
Like most of creatures around here, your skin emits surfactants to squeeze you through small spaces. Your brain is safely divided across tetrispheres in head, abdomen, and tail. Interestingly, I can see you have an incredibly hardy secondary gut, teeming with its very own ecosystem. Your body is supported by the help of many tiny, tiny bugs.
In fact - if you were to peer within yourself at a very, very small scale, you'd see that your whole body is a great swarm of simple little creatures, living and dying to make you possible.
I don't think your eyes have the ability to look that closely. Mine do, though - I'd say you're doing quite healthy for a wild animal!
Who would win: Person who has auditory processing issues vs. somebody who doesn't know basic vocabulary and explains everything with twice as many words as necessary with 50% less precision.
The worst feeling is when you are insulted, assaulted, beaten and wronged and everyone is looking at you and you do not find anyone to defend you or support you, even though you listen to everyone and they look at you with pity but they cannot do anything for fear of the one who assaulted you. This is our situation today in Palestine and Gaza, where we are being assaulted, wronged, killed, displaced and starved by the cursed Nazi Zionists and the whole world is harming us and does not help us for fear of this occupation, as we have been going through a famine for a very long time and no one has been able to bring in a bottle of drinkable water for us until after taking permission from these Zionists. The whole world is watching our situation and does nothing.
