Everyone clap for non consensual body modification everybody loves a character whose body has been altered against their will

the watcher is playing multiple games at once and keeps dying in all of them

monk is in a chill nature documentary simulator

hunter is in a zombie survival game

gourmand is in cooking simulator

arti is in a first person shooter

rivulet is in a sonic game

spearmaster is in a dialogue-heavy metroidvania

saint is that one game that jerma played that one time where you have to kill zombies by typing specific words and there's spilled soda on the keyboard

moon is a point and click adventure game narrator

five pebbles is in the sims. and he's losing.

rain world theory

i think it's fairly common knowledge that pebbles represents the brain and moon represents the heart? even if you haven't read the dev commentary it can still be gathered from context clues (primary cortex, the room names in lttm/submerged). i have thought about this extensively and i believe that if we saw no significant harassment in-game his superstructure would be themed around the lungs.

in the dev commentary itself, andrewfm says this

and while the canonicity of downpour is debated i'm going to assume it's 100% canon for the purpose of this analysis. this statement tells us that the organ moon and pebbles are associated with directly correlates to their characters, instead of simply being related to the function of their superstructure.

now vanilla doesn't give a whole lot of nsh lore past the lore pearl that hunter carries in their campaign, but downpour gives us quite a bit more during spearmaster's campaign with the introduction of the broadcast tokens. many of these broadcasts consist of nsh trying to talk things out with and help seven red suns, who is feeling guilt over causing both pebbles' and moon's predicament. this, coupled with the effort he took to save moon, shows that he is a very caring person (despite possibly sending feet pics through pearl?).

the most basic explanation of nsh lungs is pretty much just "he resuscitated moon, i.e providing oxygen to the heart". however i brought up the broadcasts cause i think it goes a lot deeper than that --- his role in the story is to save everyone else, in a way. it's more subtle than that, because rain world's story is largely told through implications and guesses, and it tells us that he goes out of his way to help out his friends. he sends a message to pebbles telling him to stop acting so childishly, and while he probably only sent this with the intent to help moon, the outcome is still that he is trying to get him to stop being so self-destructive. he helps everyone because that's who he is, and the fact that he supplies this assistance to people is what makes him the lungs.

there's also much to be said about him and hunter and why he didn't send an overseer after hunter to guide them, but that's mostly unrelated so i'll leave that for another rant .

sometimes i forget like most ppl arent trans cuz i can count the amount of cis ppl im friends with on one hand

The Watcher! <3.

Hide and seek

I know that this is not possible, but i just want them to be happy kids... And playing children games... Am i asking too much?

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"
