[jomjjeoro]

hey guys. this is my invention. check it out

[bastionkeeper]

listen no matter how depressed I am whenever this post shows up on my dash I fucking lose it I just laugh so hard, it’s such a good post. The way it’s presented? Soap on a sink nozzle, okay clearly this is some sort of handwashing appliance. Then there’s just water going everywhere no further explanation it’s so good I’m so happy

[rw-undergrowth-au]

[Meta] Hey so this is absolutely bonkers, I didn't expect so much interest in just the first few days! A lot of you guys are already familiar faces and friends, and means so much to see you here, and for all you new followers, I hope you enjoy! I'm already working on the next page, and it'll be a sec before we hit a proper interim and asks open, but we'll get there.

Also shoutout to @kalivasquez with @ask-the-pioneer for shaping an askblog/webcomic landscape in the Rain World community, and being a friend in proximity who I could watch work on her project. I've wanted to run a webcomic since I was a kid and this (one two posts) is the furthest I've ever gotten.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

[shrodingers-catgirl]

HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE

People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.

"They spent hundreds of years trying to assimilate my ancestors, trying to create indians like me, who could blend in, but now they don’t want me either. They can’t make up their minds.

They want buckskin and face paint, drumming, songs in languages they can’t understand recorded for them but with English subtitles, of course. They want educated, well spoken, but not too smart. Christian, well behaved, never question. They want to learn the history of the people, but not the ones that are here now, waving signs in their faces, asking them for clean drinking water, asking them why their women are going missing, asking them why their land is being ruined.

They want fantastical stories of Indians that used to roam this land. They want my culture behind glass in a museum.

But they don’t want me." -Shelby Lisk

[d3rlord3-kisser]

I might sound crazy for this but I don't think gendered bathrooms should exist like what's the fucking point

[d3rlord3-kisser]

I'm serious. It forces trans people to either feel dysphoric or out themselves, and it completely ignores nonbinary people.

And while I'm talking about bathrooms, they should make all bathrooms accessible to disabled people instead of making them separate from "regular" bathrooms.

[lemonpartii]

hmmm reblogging this again to add more thoughts

as previously stated; IDs, licenses, passports and birth certificates do not need to have gender markers. This tells you little to nothing about the person & creates legal barriers for trans & gnc people. You can identify someone with photo/description alone, & sex is only absolutely necessary for doctors to know.

also,, adding onto the accessible bathrooms thing: I am a wheelchair user. Although I am ambulatory, in many situations I absolutely do need the accessible stall. The thing is that many “accessible” stalls are not actually very accessible. They may have inadequate handbars, or don’t have enough space to turn my wheelchair around to make transferring easier/get back out of the stall safely, or the door opens inwards so I can’t get in/out very easily, or the bathroom sinks don’t have the space to roll under so I have to sit at an awkward angle (which hurts my joints) to use the sink. There are quite a few more issues I could list but you get the gist; even “accessible” bathrooms are not always accessible to me, a relatively low accessibility needs person. This is to say, it often compounds when you’re disabled and trans. I am visibly trans, I do not pass in either restroom, and it is frequently that I have to ask strangers for help with certain things which aren’t already accessible to me. This has put me in danger before and I’m sure it will again. All bathrooms need to be (more) accessible, and all bathrooms need to be genderless. Right now.

[meangirlnurse]

there’s a post on tumblr about like. if you could do something to bring people a little relief, why wouldn’t you do it? which has unironically informed my practice as a nursing student and patient care tech

[meangirlnurse]

i’m glad no one made any unpleasant comments on this post that might distract from the message because that would really suck

[hellish-undeath]

i love my fans 💚

(for context anon (blank account) is trying to figure out how to misgender me)

[hellish-undeath]

she's been trying to guess my gender for 3+ hours so now we're talking about eels 💚

[worldssmallestlizard]

small writeup for pride month

kind of a continuation of this post from last year

[goldensunset]

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

[rw-undergrowth-au]

Undergrowth (Yongasabi: igonda) is an anthro Rain World AU, told as a hybrid webcomic and askblog. While the Endless Winter of Saint's time rage outside, slugcats and scavengers have long been forced to change their lifestyles, with most moving into geothermal pockets underground. In this setting, the timeline is compressed, events overlap, and in the warmth of Undergrowth, Saint maintains a garden shelter where they house the other slugcats.

The blog author is @opashoo. If you have any questions that aren't addressed directly towards Undergrowth or its characters, you can ask me at my personal blog. Ko-fi here if you're feeling generous.

Content Warning: As of now, Undergrowth is a +15 work. The exact nature of subject matter will be subject to change as I feel out the tone, but it will contain depictions of trauma, blood, injury, and sexual themes. This blog is generally aimed towards an adult audience and posts will be tagged appropriately.

Blog context, ask rules, additional info, and table of contents for the blog's chapters below. This post may change as time goes on.

Rules As of June 1st 2026

Asks are generally handled diegetically, communicated through overseers as a means of long-distance communication. Asks can be fun and playful, but I won't be entertaining things like Magic!Anons, spam, bait, or nonsensical asks. DMs to this blog will be ignored.

Asks should generally be directed towards specific characters. Be sure to address the character you are speaking to. Asks that don't address anyone specific will be up for grabs by any of the characters.

If you have a meta question, or want to ask a question non-diegetically, please include "[Meta]" at the beginning. If the ask is unrelated to the blog, or you just want to send an ask to me directly, my blog is @opashoo.

Unfortunately I won't be able or willing to answer all asks. I'm ultimately doing this for fun and will prioritize telling a story, so asks will generally be slow or closed during story events. However, the breaks between story events are generally the designated time for asks.

No slurs. You can be rude to the characters if it makes sense for the context, and you can even look up some Yongasabi insults if you want, but no real life slurs.

When it comes down to it, I run the blog and I get the final say what gets posted.

Context The story as it stands

The Undergrowth AU is an anthro AU where the blizzards of Saint's timeline have come sooner and deadlier, forcing most Yongasabi (slugcats) and Mulngjer (scavengers) to settle in underground geothermal pockets or adopt lifestyles suited to the cold. It takes the timeline of the game and compresses it so that all slugcats are alive concurrently, and all the events of the game have already happened much more quickly, oftentimes overlapping.

Pebbles' collapse and Moon's acquisition of the rarefaction cell are recent events. The Metropolis Scavengers have moved underground to found New Metropolis; Artificer's rampage and subsequent exile are still fresh in the minds of the both scavengers and slugcats; the worsening blizzards prevent travel between retaining walls. Hunter—whose condition is dependent on active treatment from NSH—Rivulet, and Spearmaster are trapped in Moon and Pebbles' retaining wall while Monk, Survivor, and Gourmand have all been separated from their colony. Everyone lives in a shelter built in Undergrowth, run by Saint.

The AU centers around Saint after the events of their campaign, who has taken to the teachings of Rhinestones Beneath Shattered Glass and started a garden in Undergrowth, where they have gathered all the other slugcats to live in safety. The other slugcats see Saint as a mysterious benefactor who knows more than they should, rescued each of them from certain death for unknown reasons, and given them shelter from the blizzards, but for Saint, it's all part of a comfortable routine formed from countless lifetimes of repetition.

In their most recent lifetime, however, things have started to change. Things aren't where they should be. People aren't where they should be when they should be. Events that have always fallen on consistent times and dates simply don't. Then Saint starts getting dream visits from someone they've never met before in all their past lifetimes, one who brings ominous warnings about the future.

Yongasabi The language

I developed the Rain World conlang Yongasabi for Undergrowth, so you may see slugcats occasionally using words and phrases from it. You can find it here.

I have officially opened my webcomic/askblog 🎉Developing Undergrowth has been a big undertaking for me, and actually drawing and publishing it will be even bigger, but I am both excited and anxious to start. I'm shooting to update weekly, wish me luck!

It's been tiring but we're still here, happy pride yall

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent
