#rot worm

I said earlier that Void Worms are the ferrymen to ascension. So are the iterators. Five Pebbles tries very hard with this, literally directing towards the easiest possible path to ascension and giving you the means to do so

Stargazer plays at the top of The Wall, when you see the remains of a long dead city. At this point, you probably wonder what happened for an entire city to get so cold and empty.

One of the tracks when swimming through the Void Sea, called Big Open, uses the Stargazer motif. This re-establishes the mood of Stargazer being "what happened to this place? where are all the inhabitants?"

The answer is Big Open. The answer is "this is where they all went"

And so, the entirety of Unfortunate Evolution being a mirror of the ascension sequence, plays Reactor Core which also shares the Stargazer motif

Jokes aside could you draw a void worm or rot worm???

Genuinely wanna see it in your style!/nf

Well, Outer Rim represents the crumbling ideals and fears of the ancients, their concerns that lead them to build tons of iterators and reform the entire landscape, only to leave it behind and let it rot. It represents the futility of trying to find the solution, literally trying to catch the stars

UE is a deeper meaning of this rot and fear, the inverse of the void sea where you're left with absolutely nothing and which exists without purpose. The endless stretching iterations that just lead to nothing, as the iterators slowly go mad at their typewriters

Prince does not do anything for you. Unlike Five Pebbles, who gifts you enlightenment like its nothing and then asks you to never return, Prince wants you to return, yet he offers nothing.

The Rot Worm is much the same, obviously interested in you, but giving you nothing at all. Just as alien and beyond you as the Void Worms are, you're not able to connect with it. And it does nothing.

I said before but the connection between iterators and void worms is obvious, as these are beings that help YOU reach enlightenment, but Watcher essentially has to "teach" Prince

If void worms are agents of change and movement, with their demiurge imagery, existing on the surface of the void sea...

And iterators being mockeries of void worms also shaping the world below them...

And leviathans resembling void worms and lurking in the depths as an essentially unstoppable force...
