doodles and shitposts

Are you alive?

yes ;_;

i was really determined to start drawing and posting again before the end of 2025, but then i got blindsided by a mental health issue that's kind of consumed all my focus the last couple months..

FHSDHDDJFKD.. .HELLO??

I have received...

...them.

Could Arti ever turn back, and eventually stop being locked at minimum Karma?

hello, i'm glad you like my au!

unfortunately, i don't think there is any way arti can fix her karma anymore. this is kind of important for the story i want to tell, because in the end, redemption doesn't mean forgiveness.

the king may have chosen to forgive arti, but a lot of scavs never will. and rightfully so. she can't magically undo the suffering she caused them, after all. the best she can do is accept responsibility, work hard to make amends where she can, and accept that some of the damage she's done is permanent.

i think her being locked at karma 1 is a good representation of that: it's a mark on her soul that she can never change, but she doesn't have to let it define her. she can learn to live with it, and strive to be a better person in spite of it.

You were one of my first encounters with Rain World fan content back in May (via stumbling across the ask blog voiceover on YouTube) and I've been keeping track of this blog, however little it moves, ever since.

I would really enjoy seeing more posts from you!

aw, thank you so much! i'm really sorry for the lack of new content; my rain world hyperfixation mostly died out almost a year ago, and ive just been sort of, waiting for it to come back lol. but i think it finally has, and i'm tentatively hoping to reopen the ask blog pretty soon

i would like your opinion, though: do you think people would mind if i started answering most of the questions in my ask blog with text only? at first, i really wanted to answer all of them with art, but i got so many asks so suddenly and i think that's part of why i burned out so fast... i really want to start the ask blog again, but i worry people will be disappointed if i start answering them without any art. what do you think?

my half of an art trade with @biteybeedrizzle , it's their OC drizzle and his warden boyfriend!

wardens may hate mob sounds, but object sounds just seem to endlessly fascinate them. so i imagined drizzle might collect things that make interesting sounds to show his bf :)

Like a man, a Dad man. A male slug cat avenging his kids from scavenger

listen I can't be alone in this... Daddyficer?🥺

nah, that's not weird at all!

personally, i see arti as female because i like it when girls are allowed to be feral and violent and dangerous, and i like the 'angry mama bear' trope.. but there is nothing in-game that says arti is definitely female (except the inv dating sim, which is clearly not canon), so he could just as well be a dad.

idk, honestly i already knew that the cycle probably didnt canonically work that way. even before the watcher it seemed more likely that it worked by making you wake up into a different time strand. for my AU i just decided that everything respawns in the same strand specifically so that scav king could have a chance to get through to arti, cause theres no way they could reconcile without killing each other at least once. it is called regicide for a reason, lol

the reason i have disappeared from the rainworld fandom for so long is because i have become obsessed with minecraft. specifically, the warden and the deep dark.

i only mention this because i recently returned to rain world to play the watcher dlc, and now if i had a nickel for every time i have obsessed over a sentient colony of black mold i would have two nickels

damn, has it really been that long?
