Hi I'm back again
Sorry for any bad takes, while I've done lore dives for other media in the past I've never hyperfixated as much as I have with Rain World. The complete and total void of information about so many things in this game has driven me to the brink of insanity so every little detail I notice I'm like "ah what if this is actually important and lore related and mmm wild speculation"
Also I fricking feel like I'm apologizing way too much. I absolutely refuse to apologize for having my weird-ass speculations, but I will apologize for dumping all of my unedited speculative rambles in your inbox. As I said tell me to shut up at any time I don't want to to be annoying or anything also I'm probably overthinking this damn it talking to people is hard
(And absolutely PLEASE give your opinions!!!! The whole reason I'm dumping my stupid ramblings in your inbox is because you have the COOLEST lore and being able to rant about my stupid theories and hear some of your theories and ideas in exchange-- shbddhgbjksttd I'm having too much fun)
What you said about artistic choice and stuff makes total sense-- I haven't really drawn ancients except for some stupid little doodles (and yeah, their hair is hard. the little circles make way more sense as 'shape defining artistic feature' rather than 'possible lore detail') and I have no idea what I'm doing anyways BUT I am going to offer a very small and completely nonsensical defense for my tentacle-hair-bone-thing theory cause I honestly just think it would be funny if they had cactus skulls
the holy grail of ancient imagery returns
Tumblr media
that one specific tentacle. it looks like it pokes straight up before flopping over. I'm reaaaally grasping at straws now lol
Different topic-- I absolutely think that the ancients practiced some form of limb-binding. The difference in feet sizes between some of the images of them, the cloth wrappings, the fact that iterators don't (canonically) have 'feet' feet... I also think some ancients may have done the same to their hands? I mean, look at the karma 4 mural. That dude has weird hands. And feet. And way too many tits. Ancients are just fricking weird.
But yeah if any of my theories or thought trains or anything are weird or don't make sense just know I have no clue what I'm doing, I'm just throwing stuff at the walls and hoping some of it sticks haha
(Join me, next time, for 'Why Ancients Really Liked Birds~~')
yea, u r apologizing too fuckin much!!! -baps you with a newspaper- lord in heaven... /lh not sayin by this that u do annoy me- but i'd suggest makin these into posts n throwin em into the main tag rather than yeetin 'em all at my inbox! so more peeps can see 'em n such, you might find more people with neat opinions, who knows. but also thank you for finding my stuff that cool jgsdlkmcklsdmgklsd
GJKSDLKLMD I CAN,,, REFUTE THAT AS WELL BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS: if you find it funny then that is all the reason you need for the thing being a canon tidbit for your stuff. a lot of my lore building comes from "wouldn't it be funny if..." and then committing to it
oh they absolutely Are doing some fucked up binding. it would make a lot of sense if Videocult implemented that- since they are already taking inspiration from Buddhism, it would make sense for them to jump into China n other surrounding cultures to look for inspiration for fucked up aspects a culture can enforce and then spin it out into interesting lore for a game. so from Chinese feet binding we get to multiple body parts binding (stars above, sin two mural the ancient's on top feet... it never hit how Tiny those are. also who da FUCK IS HAVING SEX IN SNEAKERS, GODDAMMIT. WHAT IS THIS BITCH.)
the hands i like to blame on religious mutilation and the fuckin... third n fourth "tits" are just fat storage- the upper pair are the proper tits in the sense that they are the muscles that move the arms. but oh how i adore it when people give four boobs to their Ancient designs it's so funny to me... praise the boobification
n tsk, aaaaaarhg, "weird"... that's the basis for the best stuff. this is an alien world, anything goes. the more fucked up it is the better it will be (-gestures to face tentacles n the back gills of my interpretations-)

Getting to know your BL mutuals - 2022 Edition
Simple, answer the questions. @ some people. Include the tag 'g2ky BL mutuals 2022' on your post so we can find everyone's answers!
Tagged by @dummerjan & @blmpff . Thanks mutuals!! ;⁠-⁠)
What have been BLs that took you by surprise this year?
Absolutely Choco Milk Shake, I would've usually gone the other way running after just reading the premise ( maybe thanks I didn't) but I went in because Strongberry and stuff about poly blah blah on here and I happily stayed because it was lovely and bonkers. I was hooked it's high up there in terms of story quality/ ingenuity with Color Rush (thank you KBL land). But here thank you Strongberry for accessible high quality BL and for that 'Long Time No See' nod.
Also I love love loved the idea of My Tooth Your Love just seeing the trailer and bts stuff but whew has it taken my world by storm..... There's always a place for Taiwan on my top list! You rock!!
What have been BLs that you felt a bit disappointed with this year?
Ha!
Not Me (sorry)
There has been no character fuck up I have ever seen as with the Gram story and arc....yikes :(
While I love the 'fight the power' storyline and OffGun (kings duh!) Whew that whole fuck up has me giving a rant to myself time and again. This show could have been best of all time. Seriously P'Nuchie is fucking awesome she can DIRECT yo! But whew I was pissed I don't trust that company that shall not be named!
The basis of this disappointment (rage) wasn't even about GramBlack CP which was in the novel though, it was just how can you turn Gram &Black against each other whilst they introduced them like they had a special connection different from the others in the gang...And and it was over a girl..come on and that romance was doing no favours for either character in it. It's like they had nothing going about themselves as individuals and we both know the fire they had and they were damn kick ass activists each in their own right.
Ugh I'll just stop here....
Rant over (lol) ..... it's never over
What has been your favorite BL this year?
Easy, To My Star 2: Our Untold Stories!
First of all: HWANG DA SEUL.
Also it's the best! This show broke me in pieces and handed them back to me whole!
I love you!
Favorite BL couples (not just of 2022)
I'll start with my best of 2022 and then do my best of all time in there
Kuea X Lian
Jiwoo X Seojoon
Zheng Zeshou X Fu Ligong
Bai Lang X Jin Xun'an
Jack X Zhao Zi
I'm sorry OffGun just really rock! (It's interesting from a casting point of view. Wow)
Edit: I left out Wenzhou. What has it all gone to....(I will take time for contemplation of my actions and I will spam post them for the foreseeable time)
Anyway without further ado, my murder couple:
Wen Kexing X Zhou Zishu
If you had to suggest a BL for someone what would it be?
Umm...
PSA: People please watch My Tooth Your Love, do yourself a favour!!
Yu Jin and Andy Wu are amazing actors (Taiwan,see!) I will not shut up about this! It's like I'm under a spell, they've become these characters it's kinda scary. I feel with them and I feel for them, that alchemy is amazing for me. There are few matched BL actors (actors period) like them that's part of what gets me. They're like operating on their own frequency and it's magnetic. They remark about on occasion about just how in sync they are/were in some of the scenes (first kiss scene, the whole of it as an example).
What's your non-BL favorite this year?
These are all not from this year but watched this year:
Love Is Science? Amazing (and has a lovely queer pairing)
Navillera (wow my soul is full)
Tagging @small-dark-and-delicious if you like. I don't know exactly mutuals who haven't done except a few. (I'm a smol account and I have my spells on the out)
Anyone who feels like it.....if you're reading this. There
