I don't theorize much BUT I do think it's interesting how Alastor says specifically, "I fall to you, voices of the afterlife," and how Rosie is somehow the one who replies, because she wouldn't be the first person I think of when I think of a "voice of the afterlife." I'd think of Lilith, especially how it's mentioned in the beginning of season one she empowered demon kind with her voice, her voice was her power.
I also find it interesting how Rosie says she knew Alastor "was the one" (the one for what is never specified) when she heard his voice. I think these both have a lot more to do with than Alastor being a radio presenter and then the radio demon... especially with how Alastor's end of the deal seems to have to do with Charlie and maybe the Hotel, and how both Alastor and Lilith disappeared around the same time.
I'm not sure what to make of this but I just wanted to bring it up as something more to think about, since I haven't seen people mention this part of the flashback. I'm bad at theories and shit lol so I can't expand on this like others might.
Iterator OCs!! Love them so much lol, I made these for my little hypothetical RW comic thing :D
They exist far, far away from the canon RW regions, so they have little to no connections with the iterators there.
Anyways, the sillies!
Spiral of Dreams (she/they) is an authority figure of sorts in the local group. She is a perfectionist and very stubborn but generally means well. Although she disapproves of Eight Blooming Petals' carefree (and frankly, reckless) experimenting with plants or Unstable Connections' critter research, she doesn't try to stop them because it makes them happy. She often occupied herself with creating little trinkets for decorations or sending out overseers to scout the land. They don't understand what EBP's fascination with plants or UC's fondness with little critters are about but lets them be anyways. They are too busy discovering new, far away things anyways.
They speak very formally, and she doesn't really have a sense of humor, but she is generally means well.
Eight Blooming Petals (they/he) was once an iterator tasked with recording and collecting data for the plants of their surroundings. Although his creators are long gone, he still loves his job and takes it very seriously, often forgetting to communicate with others as he buried himself in his work. Despite this, he is a relatively friendly fella, often rambling about his newest discovery to whatever grants him the time of day, whether it is a slugcat, a stray wandering creature, or Unstable Connection. Their superstructure, both inside and outside, are covered in plant matter. Loves pole mimics but doesn't like the fact that they eat his other creations, so they created a species of pole mimics that eats batflies instead. They dislike batflies with a burning passion because he find their buzzing and squeaking overwhelming so they wouldn't mind their tamed versions of the carnivorous plants eating them. In fact, they grow batnip specifically near the pole mimics so they can feed the plants without having to manually drop batflies near them.
They often pause and go on long, unrelated tangents about whatever they are thinking at that moment. They are also really easily distracted, especially when they have a project in mind.
Unstable Connection (they/them) is an iterator abandoned by their creator because of some imperfections within their systems. They have trouble communicating with other iterators, so instead they turned towards the little creatures that lives near its superstructure. Friends with the nearby slugcat colony and scavenger tribe. The scavs named them "Pearl" and they liked it enough to stick with that name whenever they introduce themselves afterwards. They are more used to speaking to the small creatures that runs around their superstructure than communicating with iterators at this point. They are close with Eight Blooming Petals, often sharing their findings with him and listening to his endless rambles.
They speak very casually because their usual audience are critters who could not care less about the formality of things. Uses more body language than most iterators because it's easier to communicate with the creatures this way.
HEY I'VE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THEY WANNA TRY ENGRAVING OF MANY FORMS OR ON EGGS SINCE I DID IT FOR LINKTOBER
THIS IS A PSA THAT ENGRAVING/ETCHING/CARVING CRAFTS HAVE HEALTH RISKS AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY TO YOUR LUNGS.
ESPECIALLY WITH EGG CARVING (BECAUSE IT IS SO RARE) THERE IS ALMOST NO INFORMATION OF THE SAFETY RISKS ONLINE AND MOST PEOPLE FIND OUT THE HARD WAY WITHOUT KNOWING- I DID AS WELL AND GOT VERY SICK FOR A WHILE BC I DIDNT KNOW.
THESE CRAFTS ARE SUPER FUN AND COOL, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TRY IT IF YOU WANT BECAUSE IT IS GENUINELY ONE OF THE BEST AND COOLEST FORMS OF ART I'VE DONE. BUT I DONT WANT YOU TO GET SICK.
THIS IS A PSA THAT IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO ENGRAVING OF ANY SORT OR EGG CARVING, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TALK TO ME ABOUT IT IN DMS, OR SEND ME AN ASK AND I'LL OPEN DMS WITH YOU YEAH?
