She's sad, tired, resigned and frustrated. She can see daylight through her cracked open chamber, but no matter how hard she tries can't get the right angle to see the sky. That frustrates her more than anything else does, most days. It seems almost cruel that she could fall so far as to literally have her innermost chamber laid bare to the open air and yet still not be free enough to look at the sky.

At a later point in her life, in memory of that helpless yearning and its eventual fulfillment, she takes the alt name 'Glimpse of Sky' when she needs an anonymous online identity. It seems a fitting choice to her.

Hi! I haven't engaged with tdp material since S4 on purpose, since I've learned I don't do well being a creator in fandoms whose canon is so actively updating. I'll binge all of tdp and catch up on everything eventually, but it might be a while, and I'd like to ask for strictly no spoilers for anything since S4 until then! I'm great at avoiding spoilers on my own but if people send them to me I can't really avoid that :P

(thank you for being so spoiler free in your ask btw, appreciate it!)

I've completed up to page 8, which accounts for 18 hours spent on it! Here's a cropped illustration of worm pupae hatching as a preview of page 4

Yeah suns does most of the artisanal crafting for their friends, which is most often clothes and jewellery, but also includes assorted art pieces and furniture

You see the answer to this is: I had most of a chapter written when I went on hiatus, and it's not that long of a chapter either. I wrote like 1400 words yesterday and that was enough to nearly finish it, so it isn't that impressive honestly

You will both eat well I think

Spoons have mostly been going into self maintenance and keeping up with work.

Interests wise, @ressioo and I still blather at each other daily about 3sig+ au, which we love very much. Aside from that, haven't had any new fandom hyperfocus, but I did get close to one with Slay the Princess when that came out. The vibes are on point.

Still haven't finished survivor lmao so I can't really answer that. My playthrough got interrupted in like April by a holiday and I haven't got back into it since. At some point I should resume my run and go back to trying to drag two children across the map

She and others of her local group might have appearances, but probably mostly in chatlog format. If she appears in person it would likely be in cameos in the ending / epilogue, but that could change.

The original belonged to her head architect, who died before her construction was finished. He left it to her as a gift as it had been a meaningful personal item to him, and he had even somewhat based her colour scheme on it.

Today Dally still wears the original, although it's been through enough repairs and restoration it's kind of a Hat of Theseus situation now. She crafts a new one for each of her selflings, but she keeps the OG hat.

Hey, thanks for asking! Ten Spontaneous Assemblies sounds just fine to me haha, it's cute. She/they, with umber white and purple as colours, if that's relevant at all 👌 good luck with writing! Glad assembly been inspiring for you!

Covered this a lil in my reblog of Res' post, but-

Iterators in Assembly AU can't do the fandom standard off the string thing, just not how they work, they gotta make lil extra versions of their own mind and slap em in mobile bodies instead. Most iterators find the resulting quasi-plurality kind of uncomfortable, and merge their minds together whenever possible to avoid having multiple separate minds active in the same area. However! Some, like Sig, are actually more comfortable that way, and embrace it as a new part of their identity and self expression.

My Sigs have more selflings than any other iterator, mostly because they were one of the first to have access to the tech and just didn't stop making them. There are many many more than just 10, depending on where you look in the timeline. They also play with their bodily configuration much more than most iterators, making a wide variety of varyingly biological or mechanical bodies to house their selflings in, and enjoying the subtle differences in their personal expression, selfhood, and identity they experience depending on what body they're in. They're just funky little guys 🙏

I watched vods! I actually watched rain world playthroughs a long time ago and enjoyed the lore and extremely trippy ascension sequence etc, but it wasn't until downpour came out and I watched the new campaigns that I got into the fandom. It's the iterators that compel me mainly in a fandom way and downpour campaigns focus on their storylines to a much greater extent. And then I read a lot of wiki and got into a hyperfocus while in my covid sickbed and wrote like hell. The rest is history.

My game is going ok! Currently in garbage wastes trying to get past what I'm loosely assuming is the gate to shoreline, but I gotta get more karma first. I have been having some issues with scavs murdering my children, which is never ideal.

And yeah trust me I miss the fic too, but ain't much to be done about that. I write for a living and in my current state don't really have anything left in me for hobby writing when the workday is done. I'll be able to write again when I can write again, and that's all can really be said.

Lmao yes. it's a Rain World crossover au between my Assembly and @ressioo 's Solar Flare AUs that started as crack and then grew extreme legs. Named thus because it begins with two of my Sigs' selflings explosively and accidentally entering Res' SF universe and meeting his Sig (who we call peepaw for his old man energy). Hence, 3 Sigs. And then +, because it really grew from there.

At this point, I consider it a fairly canon post-story to Assembly, even though it's of high octane crack origin, because I'm way too emotionally attached at this point to do otherwise.
