Eh, I’ve Had This Guy Lying Around In My Sketchbook For A While With No Plans For What To Do With ‘em-

Eh, I’ve had this guy lying around in my sketchbook for a while with no plans for what to do with ‘em- plus I didn’t see anyone else submit an Iterator yet, so why not!

This is Acts of Kindness, or AOK (pun intended). An iterator on their last legs who, by all means, should be dead or catatonic by now- were it not for a small tribe of scavengers who either grew fond of them and/or like to use them as a movie projector- depending on how you look at it. They filled the chamber with pearls for Acts to read and their Overseers to project visuals- an activity that the scavengers quite enjoy. Besides pearls, they do give Acts gifts from time to time- most notably their patched together clothes and some neuron flies (to this day Acts is not sure where they got the them and is mildly concerned) but Acts is just grateful for the odd situation they’ve found themselves in, naming themself after that which keeps them here, and speaks kindly to their new friends (even though few to none of them actually understand what they’re saying)

Their overseers are notably very protective of Acts, and that extends to those who treat them well. They were the ones who more or less negotiated the scavengers into bringing Acts clothes/neurons, and they occasionally go out alongside a scavenger to guide them to some pearls, items for Acts, or just to keep an eye out for ‘em.

I am not sure what their gender is. I’ll figure it out eventually- probably. And maybe draw them digitally with color n’ all- apologies I’m moving around a lot today and don’t know when I’ll have time to sit down and draw- so just a sketchbook pic for now!

hey, you. you're finally awake! you seem new to this region, how long have you been here?

you don't know?

well that's alright, you can travel with us! we bid you a warm welcome to the

Alrighty I'll stop the bit now. Hi hi, I'm Mosaic!

This is a masterpost for a group oc project where anyone can make and add a slugcat to become a part of this collab colony!

The idea is that you can reblog this post or send a submission to me with your slugcat design for this colony and we as a community can slowly build lore together!

Some basic info about this colonies region:

Over many cycles this land has used the rain to outgrow it's previous structures and has turned into something akin to a jungle, mangrove forest or swamp.

deep beneath the abundance of wildlife however, you can enocunter the remains of the ancients cities long before the iterators, and the structures they built afterwards. who knows if anything down there still works, but it could be worth a shot.

iterators are as per usual scattered around! i have no plans for any named ones currently but if you don't want to submit a slugcat, you may submit an iterator instead!

this is a spreadsheet I'm going to be updating with info on every slugcat submitted, so you know who created what

Truth be told, you don't even have to follow any of the basic lore i just gave you there! this is a group project you're free to add as you please so long as it doesn't dimish others work.

you could make your slugcat anything at all and they'll be welcome into the collab colony same as all the rest, so be creative with it! have some fun!

Some basic rules:

Please be kind and respectful of others, as is expected of you in any collaborative space.

Always ask permission! whether it's asking permission for your slugcats to interact or permission to use art someone else has made for the colony. please always ask permission unless you already know the person closely enough to know they'd be okay with it!

BE SFW. this is no surprise but i feel it must be stated anyways. if you act inappropriately you will be blocked.

as long as you follow these three easy rules you're free to participate as much as you want.

that's all for now, later i think I'll edit this post with a form in which people can submit their slugcat info so you can add it to the spreadsheet easier, but it won't be required. this is open no being selective here as long as you're all chill

(and last but not least two of my mutuals who wanted to be tagged @nickeeree @quinnboop they are both cool go follow them)
