#like rain world doesnt have an op magic monkey to protect the monk but

[sevenrs]

so like

we're all aware that the religion practiced in rain world by the ancients (iterators, and some of the slugcats by extension) is heavily inspired by buddism-- karma, reincarnation, ascension that leads to enlightenment where the need for the life/death cycle is past you now because you no longer feel suffering

five pebbles tells survivor and monk to go west.

west.

like in journey to the west? the great classical chinese novel, an allegorical journey about human perseverance?

in a game that is so incredibly difficult that beating it would require persistence?

was this intentional? did videocult know this? why haven't i seen anyone talk about this before?

im losing my mind right now

#rain world #broadcast.txt #YOU WILL SEE MY BRAIN BLAST #IM LOSING MY MIIIIIIIIIIIIND #fun fact lmk inspired a different hyperfixation into journey to the west as a whole #and istg if rain world is actually connected to that too i might actually lose it completely #like rain world doesnt have an op magic monkey to protect the monk but #all the enemies in rain world trying to eat you... like all the demons trying to eat xuanxang..... #granted lizards dont eat you for immortality but. immortal until proven otherwise huh #this post is about vanilla rain world it has nothing to do with downpour #downpour was not made by the same devs and the ideas present in dp are different #that's a different ramble for another time though
