Hello everyone, I am a Rain World player and also very much part of the lgbtq+ community, so that of course means giving the silly little sluggo's silly little gender and sexuality headcanons

Is this post going to get attention? Probably not lmao but here it is anyways!

I think I've never shared my pronouns and sexuality headcanons for the canon slugcats, so here they are! Along with alignments and why I think what I think

Survivor: they/he/she pronouns (they/them preferred usually)

Sexuality is not defined, but they wouldn't be opposed to a relationship with another sluggo

Survivor to me is neutral good, I think they are neutral good judging by them being open to adopting slugcats and taking them to the Tree, when they find them abandoned and they don't seem very lawful or chaotic to me, just a chill little guy

(Bonus: they are fine with being called gender neutral words, but along with the word "sibling", they like the word "brother" too and "mother" along with "parent")

Monk: he/him, gay and asexual, but he isn't interested in anyone yet, he is just happy he found his sib, his current job is being a fun uncle to his siblings kids

Monk is definitely lawful good, he doesn't want to hurt creatures unless he has to and it's implied he helps Moon by bringing her her cloak and neurons, so he's just a peaceful little lad

Hunter: A lot of people in the fandom ship Hunter and Arti as a lesbian couple, but to me, Hunter is a masculine sluggie, so um sorry guys, I don't ship Artihunter

To me, Hunter is a he/they and genderfluid, but they often use one set of pronouns at a time

At the start of the run mostly "he", around Pebbles, he preferred "they" and at the end of the run, back to "he"

He probably likes the ladies, but he never had time for a relationship because of the Rot cutting his life very, very short

Hunter to me... is also neutral good! I know a lot of people see Hunter as a fighting machine, who kills without remorse... me, not so much. Hunter is not an evil slugcat, he went out of his way to help Moon, he could have ignored her and just go down to the Depths after getting enough karma

But he didn't. He chose not to. That's what makes him a good slugcat in my eyes

I also think he isn't actually carnivorous by choice, but because of the Rot in his body, he's forced to eat more to sustain himself (and I'm a firm supporter of the "he has Rot on his back wear his spear sticks to" theory and the "he gains back tentacles in the last cycles of his life" theory)

Spearmaster: they/them (agender)

They're aromantic and asexual

They're lawful neutral, they do the tasks being given to them by iterators, because a mission is a mission, not necessarily because its the right thing to do (like Hunter who really went out of his way) They aren't interested in finding a partner, they are happy just being with SRS again

Artificer: she/her (but she doesn't mind being called a they to be honest, call her a he and she'll kill you), lesbian

I deduced she's a lesbian because she's a certified girlboss

Artificer starts as true neutral, then chaotic neutral and at the end she full on goes chaotic evil, if she embraces violence and forgets everything else, but she goes back to true neutral if the Echo got through to her and she decides to go to the Depths instead

Gourmand: he/him, straight

He's my cis/straight guy, he's an ally though, 100%!

Gourmand is chaotic good to me, he's a good, smart and kind leader, but he also is a chaotic little chonker and those things can coexist

Rivulet: he/she, mostly he, trans (was afab at birth), his sexuality is pansexual probably

Rivulet is chaotic neutral, he's all over the place and a bit odd, he does a lot of things just because he can, but she's neither good or evil, just chaos (she's got a soft spot for Moon though!)

Saint: they/them nonbinary/agender, aromantic and asexual

Saint is true neutral, they ascend others not out of desire to kill or a desire to cause good, it's because it has to happen and they have the power to do it. They aren't good, bad, lawful or chaotic, they just are

Inv: any pronouns, they don't care, just use whatever for table

Sexuality: pansexual and polyamorous

Pansexual because fish can fall in love with every gender of slugcat in the dating sim

Polyamorous because honestly chaos just wants to date them all and be loved by them

Inv is chaotic neutral, but like scratch out neutral for the most part

Bonus:

Teal (Survivors and Monks sibling)

She/her and bisexual!

Since most people don't even know she exists, I can give her whatever hc I want and be the first to claim her as my blorbo, so dibs on Teal!

To me, she's a bit of a tomboy and the middle child (huh that explains how she's mostly ignored by the community), she's smaller than even Monk and she reluctantly moved away from the Tree with her parents, because although she didn't want to lose hope that her brothers would come back, she had to go with her already grieving and stressed out parents

I hc she left a trail to their new location for her bro's too!

Bonus 2:

In my most recent survivor run, I adopted two pups, Crow and Lime, you can see them on my page as the big image above my profile pic

They're semi canon to me, so they get to be in the post too

Crow (the black one): Any pronouns, aromantic and sapphic (likes ladies)

Lime (the green one): They/he pronouns, gay

Crow is true neutral, she's sweet to me, but a real murderer of lizards and also she just stands around, waiting for me to carry them (hc them as autistic)

Lime is chaotic good, they're high energy and loyal, even when I jump into wormgrass, this kid followed me (Crow watched like: ain't doing that bye)

(They have adhd)

These two, summarised: middle child and youngest child (Survivor has eldest child energy tho)
