I hate... fanon archetypes. You know how people sand down their blorbos to fit into the same handful of incorrect quote templates and then they forget their actual canon personalities because they've gone too long without engaging with the source material? I hate it. I hate it. He would not fucking say that. The joke was slightly funny when it was on the office or whatever but we've all heard it over and over with different characters pasted into it how are you still laughing please let me out
if I don't make it into art school I'm going to (remembers that my life doesn't end with a rejection from a single school, I can wait a year more, improve more and try again. I can even go to a diffrent uni, or I could find a job I won't lose the support of my loved ones even if I fail) kill myself

How long, Tumblr users? How long, you free people of the world? How long will the silence, injustice, and racism continue? How long will the killing and starvation continue? Will you leave us like this, with no one looking at us? I say to everyone: Please interact. Donate. Share anything that makes a big difference. Thank you.
Donate here so we can live in peace.
PLEASE DON’T SCROLL BY
I don’t know what to share about my life anymore to get people’s attention. We are a family of ten trying to survive in northern Gaza. Our landlord keeps increasing our rent, and we will be at the mercy of the drones and the tanks if we have to leave, on top of having to leave behind all of our belongings. Every kind of food at the market now costs a fortune and there are no jobs available due to the dangerous situation outside, so we have to fully rely on this campaign.
This is a drawing my friend made of me with my dearest sister Soso, who is only four years old and has already suffered so much in her short life. Two wars have come close to killing her and barely had time to know happiness. I want to make it more bearable for her, but I can’t do it alone.
Please help, I swear I’ll be thankful for anything. Share at least if you can’t afford to donate.

Within rain world's visual motifs, there's chains
Chains are present throughout the whole game as old remnants and possibly as part of machinery
However, there's places where they show to have a deeper meaning
Shaded "The True Anoited" Citadel, Holy Ground where memories are cherished, has an unique style of column that incorporates a chain motif
it can be better appreciated on the ruins immediately around the shoreline gate, where they're better iluminated
This pattern is also present on the cabinets
This motif runs older though, much much older
to the time of the Depths
A statue of a humanoid, in the classic stance of an echo, chest binded in chains
A head wrapped in chains, to the point of covering all features
...but with an X breaking the pattern, cutting through the chains
In a way, the progression of the higher levels of karma look more like cutting through a knot or a ring, a visual of breaking the cycle
this already gives in the meaning behind this motif: the chains are the cycle, binding the self to the carnal, ascension being the severing of the cycle to move freely above and beyond
Its entire memory is filled with a mantra repeated... 5061 times - and then a termination verse. It was worn as an amulet, probably together with many identical others forming a pattern on some garment. The repeating mantra is important because it symbolizes the cyclical nature of life and death, and the termination verse is a symbol for ascension above and beyond it. I don't know how familiar you are with the nature of life and death, but I imagine like all living creatures you have some intuitive knowledge? Then you know that death isn't the end - birth and death are connected to each other like a ring, or some say a spiral. Some say a spiral that in turn forms a ring. Some ramble in agonizing longevity. But the basis is agreed upon: like sleep like death, you wake up again - whether you want to or not. This is true for all living things, but some actually break the cycle. That doesn't apply to you or me though, you are too entangled in your animal struggles, and for me not breaking that cycle is an integral part of the design. Our mantras keep repeating.
"(...) and then a termination verse"
What is a chain if not a number of interlocked rings? The Shaded Citadel pattern even looks more like a double spiral, a double helix
The urges are also described as "binding"
fun fact one of the elements in an echo's design is called chains
it's the row of golden flakes bound to the legs
considering the depths statues, maybe part of the rituals in preparation for ascension included binding the body in chains, as a metaphor for the binding nature of the cycle, meant to dissolve in the void alongside the body as signifier of the liberation of the mind

was anyone going to mention this one asset having blue
was. i mean was incorrsct. not am. i have realised my mistake im not agruing on an incorrect point intentionally while knowing it is not correct. i have to stop miscommunicaitng everythign in this post oh my god
Dyou think Pebbles wouldve started Hearing The Voicesâ„¢ when his rot reached a certain state of infection or is his rot detached from the "kingdom"
His rot is So detatched from Prince. Prince barely knows what an iterator is outside of what the memories of the benefactors have given him
Pebbles' rot is made of his own neuron matter, and is more just a parallel to the already existing sentient rot
RW is full of things that parallel, but aren't directly related
OOHHH NO NONONO!! NOO!!!!! no!!! i do not think prince is or was an iterator that theory is extremely fucking stupid i hate it that isnt what i meant!! i meant their *dialogue* being all like "the imperative that was in them remains in me, but im not wholly them and not blind to their forebearers' folly, im something new, blah blah blah" suggested that the rot directly had taken in these experiences from iterator-perspective rather than second hand impressions. i am incorrect i think

The search for the solution
Yay rainworl art I love this game, tried some more interesting stuff with the colors and pose (I'm bad at drawing hands don't say anythingðŸ˜ðŸ˜)
looking at fanart of SRS pre-dp is so funny
EVERYONE wanted that guy to be red and then it came out and whiplash.
oh that was misleading. i am not prototype i am merely another victim of the industrial complex pearl curse. i have also seen prototype in lobbies (plural? cant remember) though so indirect reunion i suppose

"Prince barely knows what an iterator is outside of what the memories of the benefactors have given him" ??? sorry can you explain this?? i am pretty sure that is not true? i might be misinterpreting you but prince very heavily implies that iterators have been absorbed into the rot
