I love how we, as a fandom, have decided that Arti is a feral cat that 5P randomly adopted from the streets and still treasures despite her being a feral destructive menace that is willing to bite off your entire hand. ❤❤
There's also the side of the fandom that has decided that the Artificer unofficially adopts Five Pebbles, actually - And the side that headcanons that they both think they have adopted the other.
i feel like five pebbles and arti would have a sort of cat/owner thing where whenever arti starts attacking fp he'd just let her keep attacking until she decides to stop since fp wouldnt want to hurt her
It’s funny knowing that as Artificer, you can annoy Pebbles without him retaliating because you have special citizen privileges that make you invulnerable to his brain blast.

I mean... Five pebbles ain't a fruit either, also quite a mean lad. They are match made in heaven xD So he even reads her some pearls if she wants him to. And the sheer fact that the ball of murder like Artificer brings these pearls to as volatile of a guy as Pebbles to know what's written there, and Pebbles actually does read them to her, means at least have *a little* bond

It makes a lot of sense. It seems like fanbases always lean a bit counter to the themes and lore of the medium. Look at fandoms for like Berserk, Fear & Hunger, or even the FromSoft games, and it's all jokes and goofy nonsense, but when you look at light-hearted games the theories and memes are that the happy characters are serial-killers and psychopaths and such.

My gosh! They're all so cute and friend-shaped! By far the most adorable rain world piece I've seen. ^w^ Also Arti doesn't know what they're missing out on :P
The little tears on the edge of moon's cloak are such a tiny detail but they add so much of her character to a shot that's only of her hand!! I love that you included that 😊
If I ever decide that going through the struggle of playing as Hunter - this will be how I end it too. Just settle down in Moon's complex, hunting only to survive as long as I can, and then peacefully pass in the hands of the one I was made to save - the one success of this short life, who will outlive me for years and years to pass
The game is an intense torment of trying to not be a bottom of the food chain xD Sometimes extremely irritating, but sometimes extremely satisfying - you learn to cherish the moments when everything goes well, and make peace with moments when it does not
To this day i still love the amount of emotion survivor has. "OH??? I AM BEING PET? HOW NICE?" i dont know, them eyes transmit a total lack of neurons yet so much joy.
Ok, so that just makes me want to read all of Five Pebbles' words in the voice of Primarch Vulcan from WH40K. Context: Vulcan is one of the few characters in 40k that isn't someone who hates all life, and wants to protect his citizens and pet the animals. Even if they most definitely will attempt to kill him.
Of course Moon and the rest of the gang get the somewhat docile and friendlier slugcats, while 5P gets the one where if you breathe, blink, walk or talk too hard or too fast it fucking revokes your hand privileges.
Alternative universe: the slugcats all beg the local group for *p a t s* and one by one the iterators start to succumb to the reality: one mustn’t leave the pats behind. Except for pebbles, he just gets bitten every time
Monk: just happy their being pet Spearmaster: hairless cat getting pat Gourm: squishy Hunter: got to live his last cycles in peace Rivulet: not vibrating furiously for once Survivor: has no thoughts in that little head Saint: moon was not heard from after this Arti: calm for arti
Welcome to the cuteness fight!!! in the right corner we have the monk, a cute banana slugcat. he will devour your sadness like a pebbles neuron and……. in the left corner we have the 30 pounds of pure fluff by the name of saint,,he surely can take someone to a better place…hehe.
for those that dont recognise: these are slugcats. they are the playable characters in rain world. in this video, they are all being pet by some of the iterators. in order, here are all the scugs: Monk Spearmaster Gourmand (the bouncy fatso) Hunter (mister turbo cancer) Rivulet (SPEED) Survivor Saint (furry boi) Artificer (BLOODSHED)
So we have the heckin' chonker, Gourmand, the cute and curious Survivor knocking everything over, the Saint who sheds entire slugcats of hair every day (lock your wardrobes!) ...Hunter, the old and grumpy cat that's frankly enjoying his retirement, Rivulet, that one cat that tries to get into the bathtub with you, Monk who always gets into the plants, Spearmaster who brings dead animals home all the time, and finally, the Artificer, who... fucking hates everyone except for ONE specific person.

the ending is so potent and emotional. It's so nice to see artificer and Pebbles achieve some semblance of peace.
It wasn’t aggressive, it thought it can turn a hand into a bomb
Artificer just wants to turn his hand into a bomb to make him dangerous, it's affectionate.
Survivor is just, "No thoughts, head empty"
It's more of a perceptive look honestly, survived grew up afraid and alone so I think their being vigilant in that moment because their so touch starved that they don't know how to react

This is too cute, HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
0:16 Gourmand really is just a marshmallow
The fact i could guess the punchline at the very beginning of this video reminds me how we all view the slugcats identically
This is the cuteness overdose i needed for today 💚
Seeing the end of the video approaching, i knew arti would be the shortest and the funniest one.
Very nice animation :3
The little tears on the edge of moon's cloak are such a tiny detail but they add so much of her character to a shot that's only of her hand!! I love that you included that 😊
*_0:47_**_ my cat when i dare exist in her presence_*
While all the other scugs seem satisfied or contented, Survivor seems to be the happiest
the end was a masterpiece.

also where can I get a gif of monk pets? I need it for my mental health.

Gourmand will never not be one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen, he’s just so squishy, and the way northflowo animated him is just ✨ so satisfying
Absolutely love the way you showed how Moon's color faded throughout the timeline!
Also, not a damn thought behind Survivor's eyes
Rule 1: "Do not pet animals you do not know."

I love that little squishy guy
My satisfaction is immeasurable and my day has been saved
All the slugcats: happy for pets
Artificer: VIOLENCE
Rivulet accepted Moon petting her
Saint was very chill
Then Arti Appeared
...and chose bloodshed as she does
I friggin love how fluffy Saint is.
ALSO... Arti would 100% be the feral one that wouldn't accept pets. LOL
knowing five pebbles, i'm sure he and the artificer had a brutal battle inside his room when he got bited
i mean he's unable to attack arti because she got citizen id drone
I love how Monk is over the moon (pun intended) being doted on and Survivor is just disassociating
Knew you were planning something when I saw the excessive amount of scug petting gifs in the RW server
THE SCREAM AT THE END- I’M DYING
so is fp
I saw all of these get posted as gifs one at a time as they were made on Tumblr.

SAINT LOOKS SO ADORABLE!!!!!
☆ OMG ☆ i wanna give a hug soooooooooooo bad :']
Bro… HE IS BEAUTY
I like to think that hunter was in a cycle before the thing and wanted to stay with moon one last time.😢
0:46 pov - f pebbles can't do anything against you:

I'm convinced Moon has this special charm to her that just.. MAKES THE SCUGS ACCEPT HER AFFECTION
This day has been so stressful, and then I see this. Thank you, this made my day just that little bit better :3

I know Sofanthiel/Enot/Inv is not cannon but I could just Imagine them furiously headbutting hands that refuse pats.

Pretty sure iterators CAN give you food pips. But only while they give you the mark and max karma.
