Bah

do ya'll mind if i post my grandpa as well ?

tumblr stop recommending me unrebloggable posts. Do you know how sad I got cuz I realized I couldn't reblog this

that other anon was right, people he/him-ing prince is absolutely infuriating. 'prince is a masculine term' have you never heard of a metaphor in your god damn life. do you really look at this rot born thing, and think that it would use traditional pronouns? that thing would NOT care. it has things to do like spreading its kingdom. coming from the same fandom that misgenders srs, i'm pretty sure at least a good 50% of you would continue to use he/him even if it was named the monarch.

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 .

There are pebbles in my boot

Komodo dragons have iron-tipped teeth, new study shows

Komodo dragons, the world’s largest species of lizard, have iron-tipped teeth that help them to rip their prey apart, according to new research. The metal is concentrated in the cutting edge and tips of their curved, serrated teeth, staining them orange, scientists wrote in a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. Komodo dragons are native to Indonesia and weigh around 80 kilograms (176 pounds) on average. They eat almost any kind of meat and are known as deadly predators...
