Rain World Monk - Blog Posts

To be absolutely honest this was the idea for the last one, I just like how it turned out featuring all the slugcats and yes.Yes I did add Artificer's pups, I wanted to make a nod to Saint of couse so his signature eyes are kinda there!

Monk gets monkified

fifteen and a half pebbles.

This last pebbles drawing. It was the first drawing of this pebbles design and I hate its hair. It was a mess to make it since I had no experience with drawing long braided hair. I have a way of doing it now that is more consistent but I am NOT going back to that cursed-cluster. Im still gonna post it because It is the only one that shows pebbles without clothes.

My sons, except not drawn correctly [cause I usually draw my monk plush with spiky fur, not curly], both of them can be referred to as Gabriel, because I WILL get them mixed up if the newer one looks similar to the older one in the future, the image is based on my previous post, if you don't wanna scroll, you can find it here

I honestly don't know, there's just another one now.

Have some arti images, the second one has slight spoilers, so y'know.

How could you not love a happy family? [Survivor and Monk's parents, or at least my versions of em, the only difference with the white one is being fluffy and albino, I made them fluffy to explain why my version of the third sibling is fluffy.]

Reference image I used. [It's an alpha screenshot from the wiki, so I don't think there's any spoilers here, link to the page I got the image from here]

I love my little guy, the monk slugpup plush is very nice, I named mine gabriel, so here's a drawing of them!

Rain World Ostober 2 - Pictures of the Past

Some interactions between Artificer, Survivor and Monk!

The surprise adoption of these strange "pups" went pretty smoothly in Artificer's eyes, but for the almost completely mature siblings... It was a confusing time.

My Arti is very large, almost double the size of average scugs! Necessary for taking down prey. The vanilla siblings on the other hand are still adolescents, and won't grow past the height of her chest.

More Hyper Light Drifter! And… a slugcat?

Help I cannot stop imagining the Monk encountering the Drifter, trust me it would be AMAZING, the Monk gains a friend and the Drifter gains a companion for when their sickness gets bad. Therapy animal and tired adventurer with chronic illness.

You should draw monk and lttm hanging out :)

Oki!!

Slugcats and palettes

I'll be doing Downpour soon.

⚠️There are spoilers(Saint), be careful!⚠️

Rain world, but these are Inscryption cards.

Important! Do not look for meaning in the statistics of the cards and their consistency in the game. These maps are based on the statistics of the Rain World game. Also, I did not add new symbols so that people looking at the cards immediately understood what the meaning was, and did not try to find a description of a new symbol. Thanks for understanding

I also made it so that Downpour characters are rare cards.(I do not know why, but let it be..)

Monk meets an Echo ...

Survivor and Monk ending head cannon (Spoilers)

I understand well that, in the original ending, the one in the base game without Downpour and without having completed Gourmand, both Monk and Survivor ascend. However, I've come up with a head cannon to justify Monk's mechanic of spawning a Karma flower on death. Even though they are meant to make a new player's playthrough more manageable, they don't make the game easier outside making death less punishable.

According to the Ancients, those flowers have the power to enable one to let go of themselves for a brief moment and contact the selves in other worlds, dreams, memories or imagined worlds. To the Ancients they also became the symbol of enlightenment. As such it is pretty widespread in their architecture. However, we can see it in places where the Ancients could not interfere i.e. Rubicon and on the heads? of the guardians. Also what about it being the symbol Saint sees before waking up, as well as their part of their halo? There is plenty of proof that the meaning they carry is not just symbolic and has weight beyond just being the flower that saves players from losing Karma on death or that the Ancients used to enhance their imagination.

Having all that said, I believe that Monk ascends, while Survivor doesn't. Not just because it's a bit spicy when you think about it.

The symbolism behind the name Survivor implies someone who lives through adversity and hardship. The hardship could be interpreted as you being on most creatures' food list or the rain acting as a timer forcing you to make risky plays. However, the cycle can also be seen as a type of adversity. One that every living creature has to endure. It was the reason for the construction of the Iterators and the big problem they were designed to solve but ultimately were forced to face directly after their creators left.

Monk was a title given to the more religiously involved Ancients. Some of their work involved making preparations for rituals, conducting said rituals and making the masks, worn by everyone. It also happens to be the name of a passage, which requires the player to spend 5 cycles in a roll being vegetarian. This combined with the slugcat's weaker physique and general friendliness draws parallels to Saint. The Wheel flowers' presence and the way they are spawned on death, imply for me that Monk was predestined to ascend from the start due to their symbolic meaning when combined with theirs.
