@sknolls
happy 20 year anniversary of Neil banging out the tunes!
though every rat is special, it's a wonderful and unusual thing for their accomplishments to be remembered and cherished by so many people so many years later. we're all so fortunate to know about the rat who banged out the tunes!
thank you to all the people who sent me reference photos of their beloved rats for this piece!!! credits under the cut!

This whole family is friggin weird
I've been getting into rain world modding because i wanted to get a feel for a completely different style of level design to Celeste modding. Just to see what it's like. It's been pretty fun.
I wanted to show this snippet from a map I made for a collab several months ago. It barely got any attention and that's big sad D:
The collab link is below the read more in case anyone's interested. This map was really interesting to make since it was about designing systems rather than direct obstacles for the player.
Today I spent six hours creating random tilesets. Figured out how to create custom masks and shit. Now I can make the walls melty and shit.
Out of curiosity, are there any writers who like Celeste and would be interested in collaborating on a potentially story-driven mod?
So, I'm working on this level for a collab, can't give out the details. But, it's basically this techless level that has a pretty atypical format, so judging the map's difficulty is hard since it just doesn't really play within the format map difficulty is normally judged under.
I know for a fact that normal clear is around Green GM because between the three playtesters, they all estimated around Grandexpert to Yellow GM when I asked about difficulty. But I wasn't able to get FC tested until recently.
The playtester is saying that FC is, like, Red to Cracked GM. On one hand, that's not too surprising since the strawberries are more like difficulty settings for the entire map opposed to one-off rooms & they're all designed to make the map difficult in different ways, but on the other hand.. I'm chuckling to myself a little.
Do you have any experience working with budgies? I really wanna get a pet bird of some type, but I only have experience with pet dogs. So, I was doing research and budgies looked like a solid option. I heard that African Greys are only birds you get if you, have, like, a lot of experience with bird care, so, really any advice for general bird care or a good direction for resources or what to expect would be appreciated.
I don’t! But I’ve known people who had budgies and they’re delightful little fellows. Like all parrots, they’re clever and long-lived (for their size) and very social. I think they’re underappreciated because they’re small.
Unfortunately many people see budgies as disposable and think they’re “easier” to care for, but I suspect this is because it’s less evident when they’re bored or neglected: they don’t scream as loudly, bite as hard, or destroy housewares as easily as larger birds. But they do need toys and exercise and interaction to a similar degree.
I think that a lot of folks who go out and buy large parrots would actually be happier living with a budgie or cockatiel. They’re incredibly intelligent and they have big personalities, and they’re generally safer to interact with. Because of their smaller size, it’s easier to house more than one bird in the average home and meet their needs for companionship and exercise.
Folks with budgie experience, feel free to chime in: what knowledge would you impart to someone considering a pet budgie?
First of all, I'd really like to thank people for giving advice. Most of what people have said were comments. I think maybe I could give more details on my parameters?
So, I've been doing on and off research on types of pet birds for about a year. At the moment, the extend of my planning is primarily hypothetical. My largest concern is my ability to provide consistent care for the animal, since the last thing I want to do is create a situation where the bird is neglected or something. So, details on what type of stimulation and maintenance work any given type of bird needs is pretty critical to me. That's the primary concern.
But some secondary concerns.
Firstly, my dog. She is adorable. I do not want to risk her hurting the bird. I think this is a minor concern because I assume that's what cages and doors are for? But, I definitely don't want to create a situation where the dog is harassing the bird.
Second thing is definitely noise concerns. I frankly wish I could get better hands on experience with that since "this bird isn't that loud" doesn't mean anything to me (I'm a bit too used to people downplaying/lying about how much of an issue something is). I have noise cancelling headphones to help counter the issue, but I also get noise sensitivity, which gets really jank because some noises end up really bothering me regardless of volume while other noises just don't. So, I honestly don't know how that would turn out with any species of bird.
So, I've looked into pigeons, but I've also heard that they're really dusty and not good for people with asthma, which is why I gave up on the pigeon idea, since my mom and I both have asthma. But otherwise a pigeon seems more or less ideal. I've looked somewhat into doves, I think I fell out of looking into them because resources on them were hard to come by, so really, any help on the resources thing would be highly appreciated.
I'd prefer a bird that's happy being inside. I think I'd get too anxious about wildlife and I'm not sure where I'd stick the bird outside.
Space is a moderate consideration, but I do believe there's plenty of space, assuming the bird doesn't require, like, a 9x9 ft enclosure or something.
Another thing is that I'm currently living with my parents and sister. So, the bird would need to be able to tolerate house traffic.
But yeah, that's everything I can think of regarding parameters. Any advice really is appreciated. <3
Damn, if Danganronpa wasn't the single most regressive piece of media that I willingly consume, it would've been perfect for Tumblr. Like, you have a guy who's like "I'm the ultimate evil mastermind" who then proceeds to make solving the murders needlessly harder - which is actively detrimental to his own survival btw - for absolutely no reason. Anyways, reach the very end of the game, after the character's death btw, and there's one final plot twist surrounding him: he wasn't the ultimate evil mastermind; he was the Ultimate Clown. That was his special talent. Fucking incredible.
Reddit would probably be a better place to ask this but I don’t wanna make an account on there. Hopefully I get an answer here asdfgh.
So you know the trick where you can collect crystal hearts while dashing away from them? Yeah, how does that work?? Because I got to the end of Call of the Void (Strawberry Jam) and after trying random things I managed to do it and I have no idea how.
I keep looking it up but I can’t find anything, probably because I don’t know the proper name of the trick (if there even is one), so if someone knows even just that that’d be great.
The tech is called Heart Ultra. You get a speedboost off the heart bounce, which you can turn into funny dash. There's, like, a really small window where you can get that boost and collect the heart. That's the tldr of it.
I'm like, "wanna mod Celeste after playing rw nonstop for, like, a month straight" but then all my wip mods are, like, cracked gm and/or are really hard to design for.
Like, every wip map
- it's a corner jump map! (mainly needs deco, gameplay is more or less finished unless I want to add one final berry)
- it's also a corner jump map! (more or less finished minus some deco and maybe a berry)
- routing puzzle map w/ gravity helper & theo (designing rooms is hard bc omg)
- routing puzzle corner tech map (featuring a bunch of clipping through reality, actual hell to both design and play)
- that one corner tech badeline boss fight map (kinda hell to play after a month of not touching the game but i really should work on it since I'm really happy with the 1.5 screens of map that has been made)
- collab map (details are secret, but also, like, I'm at a loss for how to design the next rooms for it...)

Rot!
I'm sure someone has already made a template like this but I can't find anything so...
Clean template:
I kinda wanna do this.
i was gonna shade, but then I decided that I don't really want to.
I'm vaguely thinking about how Celeste's levels could fit into RW lore because new Hyperfixation just dropped. So, here's my thoughts.
Forsaken City - probably a part of Moon's City that would be accessible without running through Submerged Superstructure. And there are a bunch of collapsed skyscrapers. Maybe this section collapsed onto another City that Moon's Superstructure was constructed over. Wouldn't necessarily inherit the mechanics of Celeste, but seeing a bunch of broken down roads, traffic lights, and parking lots could be cool.
Old Site - an extension of Shaded Citadel. One that's not quite in Pebbles's shadow.
Celestial Resort - would 100% be a sub-region of 5P City that was taken over by a red mutation of the rot.
Golden Ridge - if a mountainous region existed, it would probably have to be to the right of LTTM since we just don't know much about what's over there. Perhaps the Mountain even goes above the clouds? Wimbdy as Fuck.
Mirror Temple - funny that the level design fits the closest to RW but the lore fits the least. It would probably connect to Rubicon somehow? Maybe as some passage embedded into the mountain in an attempt to ascend, it predates Moon by quite a bit. Maybe the iterators don't even know about its existence.
Reflection - its a crystal ravine. In RW, it would probably be drenched. Maybe this could be fused with a mine, so, it's where the ancients got the materials to make data pearls? In Celeste, this is my favorite level due to it being so much about the characters, so I don't think it could be done justice in the context of RW. Maybe it could be an extension of Pebbles Superstructure post-collapse? But it's not supposed to have snow. Idk.
Summit - would probably just be an extension of Ridge. Not much to say.
Core - idk, probably would be a connector to Summit & Mirror Temple?
Farewell - this is canonically a dream sequence where Madeline is on the fucking Moon. There's no RW compliant justification besides making this area also canonically a dream sequence. Tho it would be very funny if this area replaced the Depths for no particular reason. :)
Y'know the idea of god-like being that finds humans fascinating. Imagine that, but like, they're not fascinated by our intelligence or emotions or anything like that. Instead, it's the other weird bullshit our species can do. Like, consider all the other whack ass shit humans can do.
We're the only species capable of throwing objects with enough force to considerably harm things.
We're one of the only species capable of sweating. And we're definitely the most efficient at it.
Our fucking posture is so fucking weird.
Also, our Spine to Limb size ratio is so fucked up. Like, what is that? Tiny ass spine go brr.
Also our shoulders and hips are weird. Angled all wrong.
Just saying, if I were an eldritch entity looking at humans, I'd be very unnerved by human anatomy. Because, genuinely, what the fuck?
Yes, I've found it, the collection of rain world fics where pebbles turns into a slugpup and gets adopted by artificer. They're all beautiful and I love them very much <3
All the fics where Arti adopts Pebbles are magnificent (*˘︶˘*).｡*♡ Especially those where Arti is gigantic, big mama Arti my beloved 🥺
Big!!
