is moon aro/ace/aroace in your headcanon?
Hello Anon! Sorry this took so long to answer, I was in a bit of an art slump aha.
She's actually lesbian in my headcanon! She was dating Sliver of Straw but SKSHOFWHFIWU
Pebbles, however
What is your favorite ship and why?👀👀👀
Ehehe what a question :) I'll answer this for iterator ships! I do have favorite slugcat ships as well but those will come with my slugcat design post.
I have two favorites actually, that would be trafficlight and lilypad! Both of which are present with my version of the iterators.
Trafficlight is appealing to me in a way I haven't really found a way to articulate ahah. I just think Hara and Suns' personalities provide excellent contrast, I always am a sucker for the charismatic bold type and shy nervous type falling for each other. With the added layers of Suns making mistakes at times and Hara having the guts to tell them how it is.
With how I portray trafficlight, they realize their feelings at the exact same time but have absolutely opposite responses. Hara accepts it and begins to watch if Suns feels the same, while Suns is absolutely petrified AAHAH.
My version of Suns is quite cynical and tends to overthink, they also feel obligated to not go against the ancient's wishes lest something terrible happen (at least they think something might). They feel if they were to love Hara they would become tethered to life, which obviously they aren't supposed to be. So they fear angering the ancients spirits or whatever.
They are also aware they are absolutely head over heels for Hara, and they also fear loving him too much- Like they won't know how to move on when something bad inevitably happens.
Meanwhile, Hara has none of this existential dread LMAO. He doesn't care what the ancients think, and he has accepted they will all meet an end at some point, so they might as well enjoy things while it lasts. It takes Suns time to calm their anxieties, but they do eventually.
My version of Lilypad, meanwhile, is queerplatonic! That's why I kind of struggle tagging it as specifically lilypad- But y'know AHHWFUIIHFW. I will probably in the future though just with the addition of queerplatonic tags :) I'm still a bit new at this Tumblr buidness
But mine at least, they have an incredibly intimate friendship, they love each other very much, they know each other better then anyone else, they are besties 5 ever
If Suns is Hara's romantic soulmate, Moon is Hara's platonic soulmate. They are the oldest in their local group so they have a very particular "old friend" dynamic, something they call each other frequently. They're just a couple of geezers, they've always been a constant for each other through thick and thin.
I love this because they're just two goobers who love each other and I love that for them! They're mellow, like to have a good laugh, a very comfortable ship indeed. When things aren't going to hell that is.
And that's the post!
So sorry it was a bit lengthy, but thank you for asking this, and thank you for reading! It was very fun to answer aha. And both include Hara, alas he has two hands for a reason <3.
HEYY YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO COMMITTED A MAGMA
OH MY GOD THIS TOOK SO LONG
When I tell yall these designs have been in the works for a MONTH I MEAN IT BRO. I WENT THROUGH THE FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF DOING THIS PROJECT
Anyway HERES MY ITERATOR DESIGNS AND OTHER DESIGN NOTES, PLUS RELATIONSHIP CHART!!!! ENJOYUIFWUIFW
i decided to put together one of the summary of art things :>
the template was skoinked from the internet:
FORESIGHT
RAIN WORLD ANTHRO AU COMIC
[MORE UNDER THE CUT]
I have to make a better summary post of this AU but if you're interested by any chance you can check out this post here
Bugs in a maze, the Iterators!!! I might try to push their shapes a bit more in future drawings, but for now I'm very happy with the fellas
now is as good a time as any to mention that i know the meanings behind moon and pebbles' names
looks to the moon ^
five pebbles ^
nobody can call him five boulders hes just that motherfucking gravel that people wont stop ingesting :(
i know this post is fairly old, but. it wasn't. it's five pebbles. i did consider it being moon because i have never seen an overseer in pebbles to my recollection, but i noticed there were rot spots on the background wall, and just for confirmation i checked the interactive map. and it lines up exactly with SS_LAB8
(this is also not the only image of that specific room in the projections, there's another one of the left side. i dont know why or how iggy has those images, but then again it also has a of nineteen spades endless reflection and voidspawn and whatever the golden stick in drainage is. that thing has seen some shit it was not supposed to see)
the 'fuses' spaz out and rapidly flicker red whenever they sense processing traffic, so im thinking this is something to do with moon's forced broadcast. or the rot in general this also probably did happen to moon. but this isnt a photo of it
I wonder if this iggy projection was taken from Looks to the Moon
imagine, as she is about to collapse, fuses blowing up and bleeding out from the heat the lack of water and the slag buildup
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
