past and present, looped together

WATCHER SPOILERS

so I recently realised there is an ancient mask inside spinning tops room!! \/

I assume this spinning top's mask so I drew a doodle of them with it!!

ignore their terrible clothing design though I don't have a full design for spinning top yet

watcher designs plus notes

funky little guy

BONUS COMIC \/

there MIGHT be an infestation about to happen you poor, poor, ancient,, ( although not actually I doubt prince can actually infect ancient urban for whatever reason )

ignore the spelling mistake, I know English trust

RIPPLES. THE CYCLE. LORE ( I'm theorising, there is watcher spoilers so everything is under the cut )

throughout both the game and even trailers, you are constantly told and reminded about ripples and how you should view cycles as them

so that's what I did!! here's the diagram I made

here you have two cycles, cycles are a bump in a ripple ( forgot the proper name lol) anyway I've yet to figure out how exactly you get moved to the previous cycle, but it probably has something to do with the void spawn, either way, as time moves on and the ripples expand and go forwards new material is pushed into the plane of consciousness, dust falling from the sky, but as this happens, material is pushed down into where the cycle came from as well 'dissolving' it, you see this as the void sea ( note the void sea you see ingame is still in the plane of consciousness, because obviously you can perceive it, you 'leave' once you enter the egg, which is the edge of the cycle )

also ripplespace, it's just the space outside the ripples, although like in the diagram the watcher only sees the area that mixes with the cycle otherwise, they would cease to exist

anyway I came up with this randomly during math class so sorry about inconsistencies in the diagram,

I'll also probably have to think about this more, to fit in pieces like void worms, void spawn and ripple spawn ( already have like paragraphs of theories on them but it doesn't entirely work with this ) and all that stuff

watcher spoilers! stupid watcher doodle + small yap

stupid

I think the watcher is technically still a pup. forcefully put into the role of a powerful being.

like similar to monks age. but monk isn't a God lol.

this was inspired by this spinning top dialogue

a tasty little god sausage!!!!

my thoughts on watcher in its ENTIRETY

\/

MAJOR SPOILERS

also some watcher art I forgot to post

the watcher. was one fuck ton of a roller coaster. from the excitement of opening the game, to the annoyingly slow progress, to the absolute devastation of the throne and unfortunate evolution. to finally. the first ending. the past ending

I struggled heavily throughout the campaign, progress feels impossible and gameplay wise it's not the best, but it does make up for it lore wise.

I was absolutely devastated over the future ending and Prince and the rot taking over. but now I've taken the time to think I think it's interesting, I at least believe prince is interesting. the rot trying to replicate an iterator, as that's where it's dna is based. and even more cooler, in unfortunate evolution where the rot replicates VOID WORMS. it's such an interesting concept, but it makes SENSE. iterators are powered by VOID FLUID, of course the rot would also imitate it.

as for the past ending. seeing this ending definitely shifted my view in the watcher entirely, and I don't think without it I would enjoy the watcher the way I do now, it's a perfect contrast to the future ending. you get to see the ancients and how they lived. the echo talks about how they were raised with other children by multiple people! overall, gameplay, the watcher is frustrating and slow and so, so much backtracking without any knowledge of where to go, but lore wise and how it's story is shown? absolutely beautiful. to the point it did almost cry lol.

also I believe the past ending takes place on pebbles! the pearls on the shelves are the same colours as the ones in his chamber! but there is definitely no solid proof. I hope the future updates add onto this side of the timeline more, and we can see how they lived more

rainworld watcher shitpost and some comments \/

HEAVY SPOILERS BELOW

watcher lore meme bc I cannot cope with how rainworld (as the cycles ) ends

you're telling me EVERYTHING just turns to mush? everything is destroyed because of one iterator?. it would have to be one crazy butterfly effect ig.

idk I'm biased cuz it's pebbles and I'm still processing everything too. but honestly I just want to go back to my cosy au where the rot doesn't happen and sunstone make out sessions and its a happy ending 💔

also don't get me wrong the watcher dlc is great btw
