@keykirin359 Is At Fault

hey Rain World fans. I'm gonna show you a lore interpretation that I personally have never seen anyone talk about except myself. If you know me as Sliverist, then you know what's up.

Everyone knows the first five Karma glyphs represent the so-called Five Natural Urges. Violence, reproduction, trade and social connection, eating, and self preservation. People generally believe the next Karma glyphs before the tenth are meaningless, but this is WRONG. Understanding this revelation requires seeing the big picture, which I will guide you through.

Rain World really likes to blur the line between organic and inorganic, with the most obvious example being the Iterators themselves, these biomechanical superstructures whose function in large part is outsourced to their "microbe strata" (Purple SL pearl), but it goes even further, into the very world design.

Five Pebbles' internal structure resembles a brain with its many sections all divided into specific regions with specific purposes. His chamber makes the resemblance even more obvious, where you can clearly see the brainstem.

Within Five Pebbles' dark interior swim swarms of colorful neurons which turn white in broad daylight, each one a carrier of information. Often, they are brushed along by cilia lining the computer halls.

The Void Sea writhes with a swarm of beings enormous beyong reckoning which closely resemble real neurons. The void worm that takes interest in the slugcat uses a dendrite to make a tether to drag the slugcat to its final destination.

As the slugcat swims and swims, it is joined by countless many just like it, and together they swim toward the light, referred to in the code as "TheEgg" (VoidSeaScene.cs)

This is the table of Karma, showing every level above Five. Doesn't it look rather like..

dividing cells being crossed out?

In Rain World, birth and life, cognition and enlightenment, death and ascension are all inextricably connected concepts. You might even say they're connected in a cycle. The imagery and themes are rich and complete, integrated fully into the world. This is even without mentioning the voidspawn which also resemble sperm, swimming to the same place. This is why Ascension is the best ending :artiyoy:

Give Me Your Rain World OC (Threat)

School is taking up a lot of my time so I want something to draw without too much time commitment. I thought why not draw some people's Rain World OCs? (feat. my scug sona that I made up right now...)

You can send your OC in an ask, a reblog, or by brick through my window if you can find me before I find you. Not sure how long I'll do this for. Maybe until I fill the page. Who knows.

Dude's looking a bit lonely right now...

me when i look at you

Hes sitting next to me as i post this.. staring..

Rain World important news

Hello Rain World community, if you get notifications from the official discord, you may have been given a bit more context for the release of the watcher.

Me, and many other console players have been hurt by the decision to release the consoles version at the furthest planed update to the game. No where was it ever previously clearly mentioned that this release was only for the PC.

Now I make this post to hopefully bring attention to this revelation, and try to do something about it.

I have left a message on the publishers of Rain World's website, detailing my feelings and distraughtness over one part of the community receiving the update while the other is left in the dust. Please take the time to put your own message in too.

Hopefully, we can do something together. Reblog to spread the word, please.
