I was thinking about how people should talk more about the parallels between hunter and moon

This is a rather self-indulgent piece...I find it very comforting to be able to express my emotions through a media I love like this...that's probably my favorite thing about art. Being able to express something...being able to connect emotionally with the viewer...is really nice

textless versions and a long rambling under the cut

Hunter is often viewed as a very strong and agile slugcat...they are the "hard mode" after all. Hunter probably has a lot of physical prowess. But, with the rot...they become weaker. At its worst, they struggle to do basic movements...until they eventually die. Of course, in my version of events...Hunter's rot is cured, but it still leaves lasting side-effects. Their scars go beyond simple battle wounds...there's a sort of pervasive sickliness throughout their whole body. Treatment helps, of course...but

You know how that is, right...? You have to keep getting treatments. You have to work for your recovery. And you have to work to prevent your body from getting weaker again...Or y'know, that's how it is if you've ever had any reoccurring or chronic health issues. It's...a struggle I feel like doesn't get expressed very often...so I wanted to express it through my version of Hunter.

Even though Moon isn't anywhere near as organic, I feel like she can relate to similar struggles. She used to be like a god...a powerful supercomputer who could do just about anything! But...she couldn't bring herself to do the one thing that'd preserve her own wellbeing. She delays and delays on forcing Pebbles to stop with her administrative powers until it is far too late...

Maybe she thought she could handle it. That everything would be fine if she just waited for Pebbles to understand...or waited for him to stop. If she just kept sending messages, eventually he would listen.

But he didn't. Things didn't get better. And by the time she finally took action against it, it was too late...her forced communications did nothing but make her brother furious with her...because she "ruined everything." She could only accept her imminent collapse...

When she woke up again, she had only a few neurons left to run on. Her umbilical was broken, her overseers were out of her control, and even the roof over her head was incomplete.

She couldn't do most of the things she used to. She could hardly move. She could hardly even think. She could barely remember who or what she used to be...and she didn't have great ability to remember the present, either.

It must have been really painful...but she keeps doing what she can anyways. She reads the pearls you bring her. She tells you about the items you bring. She gives you information as best as she can. She is kind and hospitable. She encourages you. She could be so bitter and depressed...so resentful and cruel...but she isn't. I'm sure she has plenty of bitterness and resentment, plenty of hopelessness and great sadness, plenty of suffering...

But when she sees the little slugcat, she's still kind to it. She is grateful for what she has. She is happy to see you. And she keeps on living.

She's so strong...she is a huge inspiration for me.

So, I think if anyone could relate to Hunter's struggle...Moon is probably the closest. I think people should talk about their relationship more...after all, Hunter is her "little savior." I think they would be wonderfully close. They could support each other in their struggles to keep living, even if their bodies fight against them. I also think their friendship is just cute! Great potential for angst, for fluff, for comfort...idk. everything, really. It would be wonderful for them to reunite when they're both in better shape...as creatives, we can make a versions of events where that happens. It's really wonderful to me...for a work of art to inspire others to create art because of it.

This game means a lot to me...and it means a lot to me that it resonates so much with other people as well. So, thank you...

Do you think any scavengers have reached the Iterators? How would both sides react?

Also i wanna say i lvoe your art and your artstyle, + happy iterator ending make me happi

ok i finally finished this

I believe some have in canon, but here's how I think their first encounters would go down in my sort of...headcanon...au....thing.

also apologies for varying art quality ill probably just do doodles in the future idk. ill figure it out

so first we have suns....

Well...unfortunately the poor unlucky scav that wandered into sun's can caught them at a very bad time. They had just lost contact with their messenger and their close friend they had been trying to help... Suns was not very happy about it.

As for Pebbles....I like to think Scav King was brave enough to enter his chamber.

Pebbs gave them the mark hoping they would tell their friends to leave, but.....

Sadly that didn't work out. He was also not in a good mood!

As for Moon....

Sadly, her first experiences with scavengers were very disappointing. They aren't much for conversation, and they don't like listening either. It's crushingly lonely when you don't have anyone to talk to.

But....

Eventually, some scavengers wandered in that just enjoyed listening to the sound of her voice and enjoying her company. She is very grateful for them...I like to think they have become good friends, even if they can't quite understand each other.

As for NSH....

They may have gotten into some....mischief.

But don't worry! They're just a silly prankster! A harmless jokester!

Just ignore any remnants of their failed experiments.

I like to think NSH would be very interested in the scavs. They'd probably think they're super entertaining, lol. Constantly sending the GC stupid scav pics.

trying this out was really fun!!!! I wanna do more stuff like this in the future!! sorry it took so long :D

Fellow person named Moon, hello!!

I was wondering if we could maybe have some art of Arti and Pebs?

moon name 🤝

i went a little overboard and made doodles of all of them

i think arti should get to be silly sometimes. She thinks his reactions are funny.

Also poor moon...riv just wants to help, but...

NSH is very silly. fake mouth shenanigans hehe!! also I like to hc nsh and moon were made right around the same time. Moon is slightly older, of course, being senior, but they are the closest in age of the local group. And since they're the oldest......you can probably understand hunter's disappointment here when nsh does stupid nonsense like this. (he knows full well hunter wanted to eat that themself.)

As for Suns, idk how spears got that thing to them. but....tall iterator...must need to eat a lot, right?

They call SM "Piano" bc SM's test number is 07, referencing the 7 pitches of a diatonic scale. i thought it was cute...i wanted to think of name srs could give them. i also gave them fuzzy cuff sleeves hehe

nsh and hunter doodles i made to comfort myself

and this very messy page kinda explaining some of my brainworms i have about nsh and hunter

also these old doodles i never posted (the projection is a little more obvious here LMAO i was kinda tired of having to get IVs)

im rlly tired so im just gonna paste my ramblings from a dm

i stole the floor power idea from my friend cowboi's oc

"i also think nsh having an experimental lab is cool

i kinda think it's neat to think of it like

nsh and srs are buddies bc they both have in interest in bio engineering and genetic manipulation

and at first they both tend to view these creatures as beneath them

so nsh probably did some messed up stuff idk lol

they gave hunter rot because they were trying to test if they could cure it somehow

except...they meant to do that *AFTER* they delivered the pearl to moon....IN A CONTROLLED SETTING............yeah guess who messed up on that one

nsh feels incredibly guilty and especially after srs grows closer with spearmaster they get desperate to help hunter once they confirm the pearl and neuron are delivered

they send some scavs out to retrieve hunter and bring them back before things get too bad

and then nsh finds some way to sort of remove the rot but it has done lasting damage to hunter that nsh feels responsible for taking care of...they feel really guilty

but...hunter is grateful someone would care so much about them"
