they can fix eachother ( no they cannot )
throws this at you and runs away
sorry for my messy handwriting lol
also here's a little bit of context if you want it v
everything in the next paragraph are theories built off one another btw, nothing canon
basically with each new cycle it enters via ascending the entire last cycle ( by ascending the void worm ) it becomes more and more ascension driven and insane basically. this reflects in its form as it becomes more and more echo like
also yes I also hc saint used to be sos, I'm not going over that in this post though sigh
Five Pebbles, at work-
this guy in the ama gets it give him a raise PEBBLES IS WAY TOO MISUNDERSTOOD
I don't think pebbles is an "angsty teen" at all, and that downpour just wrote him kinda shittily. In vanilla he's a somewhat introverted guy who trying to explore ideas and research things considered taboo. He argues against the status quo not to be rebellious, but to try and open himself and others to different possibilities.
He's not constantly going on about how he's "misunderstood", he makes his arguments and he does it very effectively
It just sucks so badly because Pebbles isn't just some guy who's always an asshole.
He speaks to the slugcat with brutal honesty and authority. You're nothing but a bug to him, interrupting his work, but he spares a moment of his time to give you directions and the most assistance he can.
Yes he's very impatient, and can't properly communicate his emotions with Suns- who is probably not even prepared for it in the first place. His desperation and belief that he can just brute force this whole thing is what caused it. Not his arrogance. Not his disregard for Moon. Not because he's some angsty teen that needs to be disciplined
I'm so upset about how fanonized he is- ever since I stopped looking at downpour and just purely thought about vanilla, I've grown to love him so much
I'm not even trying to be a vanilla puritan, I think downpour did a good job at giving him actual interests, and dialogue unrelated to his emotions or other iterators all actually somewhat SOUND like him. Just wish they didn't treat him so terribly. That's a fucking grown ass man!

this is probably the nicest they will ever be to eachother.
this was originally just a whiteboard doodle but i love it so much I made them real. also if you get the ref at the start I love you
I think my favorite aspects of the watcher (spoilers but you already went through all of it already. maybe tag this for ppl that haven't?? idk just covering the bases so I can say this) is the diversity of the locations coupled with all the new environmental aspects. Desolate Tract and Signal Spires are probably my favorite places. also. ROT VOID WORM. GENUINELY. HARMFUL TO MY PSYCHE HRJGAJAHZAGNGBGH. idk just dumping this here because I'm following you and I need to throw the afterthoughts of the rollercoaster at someone who has beaten it already. still trying to organize all my theories but holy moly is it insane
again obvs, WATCHER SPOILERS

like many others I have mixed opinions on the regions, some of the regions were absolutely stunning, some i liked were desolate track, rusted wrecks and outer rim. but some regions did feel a lot less peaceful as those ones, and I personally felt that some of the regions feel out of place. with the vanilla map you have context but in the watcher all you have is what you see right now. and I think this part of the watcher is brang down even more by the fact some of the spawns are awful, and how you are ACTUALLY clueless on where to go.
currently I think I have my big theories down rn, but yeah it's definitely A LOT to process through and think about
