This Guy

They made fun of you behind your back earlier

seven red suns

more rw scraps?! more likely than you think

Finished watcher's campaign yesterday, that was fun

[ending spoilers]

Having fun + playing with toys + don't care

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

Brain World Time!

The true nature of the cyclic world (cerebral realms) is brain, and you can see it slowly get unveiled as the worlds get pushed to the fringes of reality

Fetid Glen has a lobetree (C10) and sentient rot spores floating through it. Fetid is also a future alternate version of Salination (see F05), and both regions only connect to each other and Shattered Terrace, which is incredibly odd.

Perhaps Fetid is not meant to exist, and is being pushed further and further outwards by the ripples. The brain-thoughtform nature of the world slowly beginning to bloom right before you

All the rot (vanilla) regions have the braintree talks and lobetrees too, the Unstable Fringes. OTR does as well, but you see it paired without the rot!

It's clear that the braintree stuff comes first, and THEN the rot

(Notice how similar the stalks seen here are to the Brain Tree from the kickstater? The one that never got implemented but was apparently somehow important? Isn't that so fucking awesome. I always stood by you Brain Tree :) )

As the brain world nature of these strands becomes apparent, it becomes unstable and begins to decay and fall apart. After all, if you had your skin peeled off, wouldn't it get infected more easily?

The rot that Watcher drags along with them is not the same. There is no brain-related imagery that comes with it. Instead these odd trees show up, along with the rot and goop we all know

What's happening in Watcher is that Spinning Top and Watcher have basically been touching the diseased corpse of fringe cerebral realities never meant to be explored and getting all that disease onto perfectly fine realms

Thankfully, because none of these realities are of the True Material, the world isn't going to end or anything

The cerebral realms, the ones your mind is stuck in- the STRANDS- are all simply shattered reflections of a TRUE reality in which your body ACTUALLY lies. The one where you wake up, eat, survive, and shelter again. The one where Hunter delivers the payload. Not the ones ST mentions where you are eaten by crawling and flying things

Also considering these realms are all thoughtform realities caused by material realm brain activity it makes sense why they would also fall apart so easily.

These realities are the unfortunate, tangled mess The tall, messy fur you crawl through The fishing net that traps you

It's not JUST about escaping the material reality, its about escaping the constantly moving and shifting brain worlds your mind and soul are trapped in. The Cycle.

Why is it like this? I don't know. This is just how Rain World's metaphysics works

when yr laying in bed and your brain starts releasing long lost archival footage

shuddering visage, not unlike my own

"Inter", an antagonistic force, though perhaps not intentionally...
