    I've always thought, Slugcats must have extraordinarily dry mouths and stomachs. Not only is the pearl still dusty when you puke it back up, but you can swallow unpopped bubblefruit, Riv's wet paws are enough to pop those!
    Imagine a scug swallowing a bubblefruit and then they suddenly get rotund

      I've always imagined that they evolved a holding pouch of sorts inside a vestigial pre-stomach. Kinda like what cows have. If you believe that Slugcats evolved from the slug-like purposed organisms that were tasked with cleaning sewer pipes, then it would make sense for them to have a more complex digestive system their ancestors would have used to process all the gunk they would have been eating.

      By a pearl being rather dusty, it’s probably less about the surface being covered in dust, and more about the circuitry or whatever is on the inside having settled for a long time

      @@Whenpigfly666 even if that's the case their mouth and throat should be wet and slippery, otherwise things risk getting stuck. You ever tried to swallow a pill dry? Imagine that but worse and it's everything you eat
      Also the scugs are related to the cleaning slugs from that one pearl is a scuffed theory at best. Not only are they rodents, not molluscs, I highly doubt there has been enough time for such a drastic change to take place, they'd have to develop a skeleton and limbs, meanwhile scavengers still have a cultural disdain towards overseers from the time of the ancients, moon calling them destroying overseers as "one of the few ways they can express defiance" and even in the large time skip up to the point of saint, with huge selection pressure (the rapid shift in weather) which would drive rapid evolution the only thing that happens is scugs get fur (and not even particularly good fur given how quickly Saint perishes) and lizards get horns and fur and some things go extinct.
      And while Moon says it's likely you're descended from a purposed organism, she makes no connection with the slug blueprint you just handed her, I feel like she'd say if there was a similarity.

    I always liked this pearl dialogue. It tells you the about the triple affirmative, sliver of straw, and the ideologies of other iterators and really adds a lot of depth to the story of rain world. And since it’s found in moon’s chamber it is likely to be the first pearl dialogue you have read. 10/10

    I like the detail of Moon's puppet being limp before shw gets Sliver's signal. Really good reminder of the fact that iterators are truly massive beings and their puppets are exactly that: little puppets on the fingers of giants.

      @whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544 8 місяців тому +150

      The game seems to convey that it’s more like the puppet harnesses the structure, than the puppet being an extension of it. The puppets even when disconnected from the structure retain their personalities, and moon’s puppet attempts to access the structure after being rebooted, implying she sends requests to it rather than the other way around. It also explains their rather human-like behaviour, it seems unrealistic that FP’s decision making was really driven by that much processing :p

      I agree
      Given that Moon's first dialogue(?) upon meeting her with a mark of communication as survivor is explaining that she is only vaguely connected to the rest of her structure in her current state, implies that the puppet is the most vital part of the iterator.
      That and with the water tower pearl, and how similiar their names are to ancients, it gives the impression to me that iterators were built by basically hooking the entire nervous and energy system of a selected ancient to a supercomputer. A very extensive life support or a mechanical womb/placenta designed to never expell it's embryo.
      Idk why people's impressions are otherwise, it's pretty clear to me

      @@No-longer1 the iterator puppets don’t look like ancients nor do they seem to have memories of being anything else, along with being virtually immortal… I don’t see any reason to believe they were created from ancients themselves.
      They have a similarly themed, but definitely distinct naming scheme from the ancients. Ancient names are always two clauses, both describing a certain object/set of objects/scene, while iterator names are instead simple coherent phrases lacking a consistent structure. And even if they were the same, that would make sense as it would just be their cultural convention.

      @@Spiney09 Yeah. The "Big Problem" is, ascending to a higher reality requires you to let go of all attachments to the world-but, wanting to ascend is itself, an attachment that prevents you from doing so.
      The solution is that someone else has to help you across. Someone who has seen the next world, but still has a foot on this one. Someone who has to stay behind.
      The Ancients delegated this task to the Iterators as a workaround. They ascended through technology and left the Iterators behind to figure their own way across-a shallow, artificial solution. Sliver of Straw figured out that if they continued to guide and help the lesser creatures of the world, one day those creatures would free them as well...the real answer was sympathy for other living things. All living things.

    the behind the scenes video really does so much more for me than just watching the animation itself. it was really nice listening to you talk about your creative process, and it put a buffer between seeing bits and pieces of all these really nice things that happen in the animation that i want to see, and then finally being able to watch the animation and watch it play out properly, and see the bits i was excited for. this is incredible for just one person. also it made me cry and i love crying. 10/10

    oh my god dude this was absolutely stellar. the composition of all the shots genuinely took my breath away - some huge favourites were the shot of moon being woken up by the triple affirmative, the shot of sliver's body and the shot of the iterators in the ancient mural art style when explaining the triple affirmative (i love the art of the ancients but getting the style down is always difficult for me, so that shot in particular really wowed me!). northflowo i have been watching your stuff since warriors maps and the evolution youve shown with your art style and your animation smoothness is absolutely incredible. not to mention egguca's absolutely stellar work with moon like always!!!! the sadness moon shows when talking about sliver is just. heartbreaking and even more so for fellow slivermoon fans
    this is literally the coolest thing ever 10/10

    This is really awesome. I'm only starting to understand 3D animation but the attention to detail really demonstrates your understanding of the stories depth. Moon's voice cutting out do to being damaged, the cloud shadows, the neuron flies floating, the slugcat laying on her lap. I loved especially how you included the show of scale with the viewing of the two cans as well as where all the rain comes from. I only recently figured out where all this water comes from by accident because I was going down the wall. It's hard to imagine all that water being consumed let alone discharged. I'm amazed you've shown this and the attention paid to expressions made by Moon like when the rain comes. I've had ideas on how to make some short clips or what I should make that was not talked about very much. I'm glad you've gotten the water expulsion down, that is one less thing I have to figure out. Superb work.

    This animation is absolutely gorgeous, all the time spent was ABSOLUTELY worth it!! I love all the details from the little interactions between survivor and moon as she explains SOS's history, how quickly the rain changes from just large droplets to the full downpour, and even what remains of sos after all that time. Amazing work, props to everyone involved (especially you Northflowo!)
