Me: So this is what the OG Steve Saga fans felt when they experienced the Rainbow Town the first time.
...Did I just witness Sabre and Lucas defacing the grave of an innocent animal who didn’t deserve its death?
***
Btw, while they were heading back to the Galaxy Ship and Sabre talked about the Parasite ending life on Mars, I loved how the Lead Scientist paused in his steps. That was so subtle, but you can headcanon that he paused because he’s under a lot of emotions of what just happened.
***
Lucas’ hesitance worries me. Does Lucas suspect that the scientists are evil and gonna deplete Earth of all of its resources? Or did the Parasite get him?
Ok, with Galaxy also hesitating and the Lead Scientist acting sus, now I’m really suspecting that something is wrong. But why can’t these characters just talk? Seriously, Galaxy and Lucas, speak uuuuup.
asdfjklasdfasdflkjl. Why are you making this episode needlessly intense?? I know that the episode is gonna end with Sabre stranded, which is terrifying. You don’t need a lack of communication to increase tension for no good reason when the upcoming plot-significant obstacle will increase the tension anyways. Aaaaaaaaaahh
*ahem* Rant over.
Anyways.....
BOI, THAT ENDING WAS INTENSE.
If Lead Scientist betrayed them, he probably purposefully made the ship crash into an asteroid.
Next episode might be a filler since Sabre can’t do much. He’ll probably ramble on and on until he sees something terrifying (like a new villain or another parasite). And when Galaxy and Lucas rescue him, he’ll tell them about what he saw and how they have to save the other scientists before that threat gets to the scientists first.
Ooooor God Steve or a new character will rescue Sabre. Or a new ship will find Sabre and hold him there (either as a hostage or out of hospitality).
this was going to be a background for concept art but lost motivation when the new RQ ep came out..
It was going to be a hidden rainbow town that had Rainbow Steves inhabiting it...
yk, if tsaw ever gets popular and has a fandom, the cast is COOKED
like, everyone's gunna get so mischaracterized
ESPECIALLY EYE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD😭
she's a black lesbian demigirl, and while things like racism and queerphobia are less prevalent than they were before, cmon. while eye also happens to be genuinely a bad person (WHILE ALSO BEING VERY COMPLEX, MIND YOU), i feel like this'll lead to ppl hating her more for being queer and black than if she was a cis straight white man, yk? cuz that definitely happens all the time, be so fr (i feel like i didn't word this great)
and like, i do love seeing chars who are part of minorities n stuff still be bad ppl sometimes, bc while i obv don't want to be portrayed all the time as the villain, i don't wanna be babied either. be realistic, yk?
eros = player. i believe thats their name. it may get changed, im personally not too fond of it but the final decision is up to hermes.
so
eros starts off wakin up in their home. idrk how bleh homes work, honestly, if theyre like urban(?) homes or just straight up animal dens or stm else. idfk. prob closer to the former tho
maybe theyre a merchant. i like to imagine theyre just helping out the merchants and actually arent one. or maybe theyre a new merchant. yeah, i like that. first day on the job perhaps.
im not sure what town theyre from. do merchants originate from any towns? if so, do they all come from one, or just any? ive no clue
okay anyways
ahem
so they start their whole story thing by doing lil merchant stuff, yk? selling stuff to ppl in whatever town theyre from. also maybe delivering too cuz that makes sense. then they have to get to other towns too.
i think thered b stm even slightly dangerous in between towns, like i think rivers or just bodies of water, maybe a forest, stm like that. and maybe theres a very small possibility for you to fail getting thru this, and you die, wah wah, sorry man it's for the plot. also itd be funny. if not deatjh, then when you fail, you just have to redo that thing. itd add a fun mechanic, idk
gosh ive already been typing for like 2 hours get it together tiresias
okay so then you continue in other towns, blah blah
and during this you see one or two lil posters or stm up idrk, like of stm along the lines of "dont go to rainbow town" or maybe missing posters. worrying, but eros doesnt pay much attention to them. not their business.
eros is weary, but perhaps also a bit naive. and frankly clueless too. they tell themself all will be fine, theyll just keep an eye out just in case.
the bleh who ordered the package... idk who it is. but they werent supposed to order from anyone or anywhere outside rainbow town. cuz eye is basically racist in a way :3/hj
unfortunately, eros isnt colorful enough for rainbow town. their fur is all white. thats not allowed in rainbow town. not colorful or vibrant enough
sooo this bleh who is having a thingy delivered to them, instructed eros, in a letter of some kind ig, to take this specific hidden path or stm idk. dont ask how they got that letter through to eros in the first place bc i have no idea. gacha logic idfk
eros does listen, and takes the hidden path and whatnot. but they notice the rainbow town streets n stuff cuz theyre very colorful obv. aaaaand eros gets distracted and wants to go see.
they cover themself a bit ig, not sure how, maybe they like grab a colorful piece of fabric from some shop stand thingy or stm. yeah
so they wear that and manage to get thru the crowd, checkin stuff out. also yeah theres more unnamed blehs that make up the crowd bc cmon we cant have the cast be enough to populate 5 towns like cmon now. dats too much. far too much/ref
they meet like, shopkeepers idk. and also just a couple townsfolk. of rainbow town. those are the ones youll actually see in the character cards. also eye but like. eye is The Big Evil Bad Guy. sooooooo.....
and uh yeah some of those blehs are just like chill hey how ya doin. but i think one or two would be like "youre not from around here i dont recognze you. and if thats true then youre in danger" and like warn eros n shit
again, eros is slightly concerned but also kinda doesnt gaf. cuz uh.
theyre estúpido :3 also young and immature and kinda dumb maybe
idk
but shhhhhhhhh
anyways
eye has a couple of like, patrollers... guards... cops....... idfk
theyll prob be ones that are already in the char cards cuz theyll prob have lines so like. yeah
and theres some stuff where they can try to avoid these guard blehs or whatever for a bit, idk same concept as the getting to other town things ig, but really it just gives you more dialogue and then the good end if you get all of em. like, youll have to do a thing (my brain is saying skillcheck but i dont think thats what it is...) to avoid them 2-4 times.
and then youll just escape and leave the town and never return. oh yeah, no package for that bleh. sorry man had to happen for the plot
orrrr
if you fail any one of these times, you wont continue exploring or get to escape, youll be brought to eye.
the bad end.
very ombismois, i know, i know >:)
basically you get put in jail or stm, and you remember what some folks said about eye making ppl "disappear"
and then youre never heard from again<3
BUT BUT BUTTTTTTTTT
theres also a secret end. (well, secret-ish. considering im telling you. but like, even *i* dont know the details yet on how thatll go. soooo)
which is basically if you deliver the package. not sure exactly how or what happens, but it's that.
so theres nico's super long yap sesh about the plot that totally didnt take almost 4 hours to type!!!
BECAYSE WE KEEP FUCKIN ADDING ONTO EYE'S LORE. BECAYAE AHES AFTUALLU THE MAIN CHARACTER (nawh she's the villain) YOU WANT THE GAME FASTER??? MURDER EYE. AND 70% OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS THE ART IS TAKING FOREVER
