I have been thinking about what sort of narrative I could insert into Rain World, without breaking the things I do like about it. A while ago I had a conversation with James, and he gave one specific type of narrative a name: "Silver lizard stole your girlfriend"-narrative. Rain World should NOT have a "Silver lizard stole your girlfriend"-narrative. Everything about it is wrong. I think what bugs me the most is the anthropomorphization of the bear creatures. Waaaay to many human qualities implied. Girlfriends. Individual villains. Revenge motifs. The bear creatures actually have very few human qualities. They obviously utilize simple tools, but they don't seem to be able to manufacture them, and there's no indication that they have a language.

Rain World is not about those kind of stories. Rain World is about survival, in a nature-like setting. The world is harsh and dangerous, but there's no evil or sadism. No-one want to steal girlfriends. Everyone just want to eat. There are no opposing wills or political clashes, just the harsh conflict of who gets to eat tonight.

(emphasis mine)

#nodding #i think that’s why shipping the slugs bothers me so much but that’s a whole nother thing #there isn’t an evil villain of rainworld. yes there’s antagonists but you can’t assign morals to a lizard #or even to the rot; it’s a force of nature. it can’t hold grudges. it’s just hungry #even within the iterators plot i would argue the same thing. no one person is solely at fault or in the wrong #i think that’s why this game is so fascinating to me. you can just keep on digging and keep finding more shit to talk about and analyze #note to self that i would like to finish my watcher pearl essays one of these days
