Actually, I'm going to brain blast at you now. When playing saint's campaign I went to get the echo in Moon's zone, and she refused to speak to me before I got it. She wasn't asleep like other creatures in echo zones. She said, "You feel it too, don't you, strange one?" Implying that she knew there was an echo above her.
And. MAN. She knows there's an echo above her. Does she know what it is? What it used to be? And if she does, she must feel unimaginably bitter about it. All that work and strife, and they didn't even ascend properly? The echo itself even seems to reflect disappointment at Moon's state- even ascended, nothing pleases her creators.
It also implies that iterators are cognizant enough to see and collect echoes in their robot form, which, again, MAN. Suppose they could find a way to travel around and get karma the way scugs do? There's something insanely poetic about toiling and toiling away in a locked room over the problem, when the solution is literally a quick walk down the hall.
The echo dialogue is EXTREMELY interesting actually!! Especially when it's implied Moon doesn't know if echoes are real in earlier campaigns!
Moon calls them horror stories. Now this could mean two things in my opinion.
She always knew and forgot with the collapse. Later with the added energy to her structure she can actually recall.
She either recently met one or overheard it or just has been made aware they exist in some form of way.
I'd rather lean to the latter just because we know she's capable of recalling things through pearls. Just like she remembered a lot about about SOS by giving her the essay. It's just limited how much. If she remembers the concept of echoes and the horror stories though, she would have remembered... if they're real or not.
We don't for CERTAIN know what she means by "feel it too", but I'd say she knows its an echo.
I don't think she'd be necessarily bitter towards the echo, because it didn't manage to ascend. She's always had the concept or vague knowledge about the myth that not all ancients manage. It's what she means by the ancients "taking a gamble" and leaving. The void fluid has always been considered a risky alternative way to ascension. Moon knows not all of them get to!
Now if she heard the dialogue... of the echo itself.. and what is says about her.... sheeeeesh. No uh... now THAT would make her mad if you ask me.
And yes I believe iterators would be able to see echoes! Though I don't know how... iterator karma really works?
But aside that, the whole tragedy of those robots is that they are stuck. They can't live without their massive cans and facilities, because that is them. They can't move they can't do anything about their situation and they cannot even seek a way to end their life to escape. They truly are stuck. The puppet is a really small part of an iterator and I don't think it can survive without the rest.
Not for long at least!

when i get sick like this, it's a stark reminder that i'm alone in this whole child rearing thing. the deal was i stay at home with my daughter, my partner goes to work, and i take on freelancing gigs to help supplement the income. when he gets sick, he takes a sick day. but when i get sick, i just have to power through, and then it takes me longer to get better - all the while taking care of a bouncy, energetic toddler. something about that doesn't feel fair but i can't put my finger on it

I was always in love with Total Drama, I was there when it first came out. I remember voting for Duncan online. But unfortunately I deep hyperfixated on another fandom and in the trenches of cringe culture I get extremely self conscious about my love for Total Drama and cut myself off from it for years. One of my big regrets tbh....
I see other +20 Total Drama fans online and I can't help but to think. We could've been friends back then. I could've experienced Dott in its prime.
