[Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made. ]—— Genesis 7:4

МОЛОДОСТЬ ВНУТРИ - Любовь = Боль

I have a feeling It was me who wrote these asks about milkshake in my own ask box

Betrayal, one paved from the Sun and Moon

We'll never get free,

Lamb to the slaughter,

What you gon' do,

When there's blood in the water?

Old wip. FP before everything that happened.

Vulnerable 🌸

I just love them so much.

I think a lot about Moon and Pebbles as the “neglected older sibling” and the “favored younger sibling” respectively a lot

Moon was an older model, and likewise one of the first iterators ever built. Five Pebbles was built very close to her facility grounds, something that was very uncommon and later led to many difficulties as we see in the games. We can also infer Moon did not think too fondly about the ancients, as she refers to them as “skin parasites” and mentioned not really missing them.

Meanwhile, Five Pebbles’ feelings on the ancients are very different from Moon’s. When talking about them, he mentions to have had a mutually symbiotic relationship with the ancients, and even says their absence has made things harder. Despite the controversy that came with Five Pebbles’ construction, we can see that a lot of the ancients cared for him. He was referred to as a “gift of charity from [the ancients] to the world,” and even “Five Pebbsi,” a reference to the real world drink pepsi, was created and shown in metropolis.

Even as Five Pebbles falls, he holds onto the pearl playing Halcyon Memories, a hymn from the ancients. The meaning of the word “Halcyon” refers to a period of time that was ideally peaceful and happy.

I do think a large reason as to why Pebbles was so obsessed with the idea of personal ascension was because the absence of the ancients left such a big mark on them. When mass ascension occurred, he was left behind, still left to solve the great problem.

You know what. I'm gonna talk about FP/UI more, in reference to this post from the other day. This one goes out to @matchedpowerofthesun (sorry for the random ass mention from this Tumblr rando aka me o7 but you mentioned innopebbles in your reblog tags and that jolted some creativity juices out of my brain so like this one goes out to you).

Starting off; some relationship history. Pebbles and UI were the first two iterators of the third generation; built only a kilocycle or two apart. The first time they met was through UI reaching out to Pebbles via one on one message. UI was not nice to him at all at first! They were bored and had no real friends so they liked fucking with him and being mean for fun. Pebbles would be an ass right back because he had zero chill.

Then eventually he just...stopped fighting back. He just took it and didn't have the same bite in his replies anymore, then stopped really replying at all. UI got bored of messing with him after that because he wasn't fun for them to be mean to now that he didn't fight back. They pretty much lost contact with each other for kilocycles after that.

Eventually though, they ended up meeting again, when one of them was urged to contact the other by their admins in a bid to form an alliance with a close neighboring city. They started actually talking like adults instead of bullying each other all the time, and started reconnecting and actually getting closer from there. Neither really had any true close friends still, so it was nice having someone to talk to, especially someone so close in age. Over time one thing sort of just leads to another, and in turn to them getting together as partners.

Their relationship is open knowledge here; people rely on iterators more than ever, why hide it when neither of them will face any formal consequences? (Informal consequences however are still a rather dangerous possibility...) Plus they're both quite young and reckless (I'd probably put them both at about early to mid 20s in terms of equivalent maturity), so why not rebel a little in a way by breaking what is or used to be so taboo?

They honestly care a lot about each other though. They know more about each other than most others do, whether it be generally personal things only a close loved one would know or intimate things only a partner would know. They still bicker sometimes, but nothing awful or to nearly the same level as when they first met. They're pretty good to each other and for each other these days.

UI is also... quite worried about Pebbles honestly, even before the start of the focused upon time period of AU and the events that follow. They do know a lot about him after all.
