Dragging Slate into the time loop would be so funny. Kidnapping them to literally drag them to the closest statue, and then like, hello Master Of Explosions. You job is to figure out how to Unexplode The Sun. You have twenty minutes. Would you like a spaceship ride somewhere.

[whomeidontknowthem]

They manage to make the sun station work and explode the sun quicker than it otherwise would have. Everyone realizes the implication when they wake up twenty two minutes ago, ten whole minutes earlier than they usually get. This loop is 32 minutes long. Exploding the sun again gives them an even longer next loop. The possibilities are boundless.

Slate's duty now is to Cause Biggest Explosion Ever.

uhh hi! flying in my perfectly safe and normal ship from giant's deep (do not mind any reactor warnings & water damage) to offer a snippet from the gabbro's terrible horrible times fic ::) my baby my darling they're having a very relaxing vacation trust <3

---

"their hands moved frantic over the controls, floundering against the blare of alarms, the number of buttons and levers that had been so familiar before the loop, the constant demands to stay in the air--level out the ship, ignore altitude warnings, hard right against a cyclone's pull, fumble at a peal of thunder, avoid an island, level out again—

blinding light filled the cockpit window, a deafening boom echoing around them moments later. gabbro gasped, flinched back in their seat, one hand raising to cover their eyes. they barely had a moment to make sense of it before the ship dropped, cockpit descending into sudden darkness. they cried out, thrown against their restraints as the ship careened downwards, nearly sideways in the wind, spiraling useless through the air.

they pressed at the throttle, pulled on the joystick with all the strength they could muster, staring at the lifeless controls before them in horror. nothing— nothing worked— nothing worked, and they couldn't breathe, and the wash of sound and water was going to drown them far before the ocean ever could—"

RUNS HERE SO FAST POINTS FINCH GABBO FIC !!!!!!!¡!!! YESSS YEAA JOYOUS DAY (nods nods no reactor damage no water damage those alarms r just being silly goofy)

N WAUGH GABBRO GOIN THRU IT IMMEDIATELY this has gotta be low on the gabbro relaxation scale possibly

"the number of buttons and levers that had been so familiar before the loop" ohh sobs??? oh no oh no did they make it to their ship just for this?? how long has it been since they'd last flown even oww ow ow,,

N, OH PLS TELL ME THEIR SHIP WASNT HIT BY LIGHTNING, nothing working and getting tossed by the winds terrifying?? that loss of control is so so scary??? as if enough things weren't out of their control already????? gabbro oh no gabbro im so scared for the horrible times fic im jumping n reaching for it as we speak

[beacon-lamp]

hello beloveds ☺️

[iceslushii]

[thetreeofliberty]

You are appreciated

i told gabbro the anglerfish keep eating me in the dark bramble on my way to the distress signal so they asked how many times i've tried going in there and i said i dunno i just fly right back every time i die so they said it sounds like i'm just feeding myself to the anglerfish

Okay but an AU where Hal is the one getting trapped in a time loop with Calcite as the hatchling would be So Interesting. Calcite is the kind of person who is both really good at thinking on their feet and really likes acting instead of letting things happen, *and* they would believe Hal really easily. Even outside the loop, they would be a genuine help all throughout Hal's journey--and there is no way they'd not try to get into the loop.

Which is to say, this AU would quickly transform into both Calcite and Hal are in the loop situation. And they would be great together, and cope with everything so much better

my nature is overscoping everything including a teeny tiny dip my toes into modding just some dialogue nothing complex mod btw. scratching my head at all the different cases i could consider and try to make work. Like would I want to have the answers differ based on whether youve got to space this loop yet or not. do i want to keep track of whether youve told them about the time loop so they can respond differently. do i want to track their level of convinced by your story?? lmao

Before I got Very Distracted with outer wilds i was working on a text game and that included writing a lot of nice functionality for making tiny changes to the dialogue, and none of it exist in outer wilds. I am thoroughly missing my self made toolbox, but well oh well, working with the tools i have it is. so probably nothing too complex.

...we'll see how my writing goes with wanting to keep track of how insane they think we are. maybe it wouldn't be necessary, but maybe there'd be some cool use for it or smth. definitely tracking space for some of it, the game already has a variable for it and stuff

!!!OuterWilds base game/DLC major spoilers ALERT!!!

This was started no long after my first play-through, I was trying to finish it before the 5th anniversary of ow and didn't make it, maybe next one.

now, to be honest, I don't know if I still got the passion and patience to finish hundreds of colored scenes......but every time I look at it, dude, I can't just leave it unfinished like this. But I'm struggling trying to make it good enough to match the feelings that the game given to me, and that's so damn hard not to mention I'm a really impatient at detailing and repeating works. sometimes a bit too perfectionist ( I literally redraw the whole opening eyes part in the beginnings like 7 or 8 times wtf was I doing )

sigh. but I guess it wasn't a good idea to just let it rot in my save files. so I just put it here now if anyone need some more ow food

[fcloudg]

I m kind of in a shock to wake up and find that so many people liked my arts ::O

Thank u all for liking them!! I got a bundle of doodles that haven't post yet I ll have to reorganize my files to find out how many pics I forgot

meanwhile have some old unfinished sketches

[getfeldsparred]

It's amusingly heartbreaking that Hornfels insists they "didn't work as closely" with Feldspar as the others because Feldspar talks about Hornfels ALL THE TIME

Feldspar's recording on Giant's Deep mentions their eagerness to report back to Hornfels, their note on Brittle Hollow addresses Hornfels, affectionately calling them a burnt marshmallow, and some of their dialogue in the Bramble acknowledges Hornfels' concern for them and their ship, and involves them doing an impression of Hornfels' voice.

finished reading Exit Strategy : ) murderbot you are the most touch starved touch averse aroace ever and i love you

[jammy-badger]

I finally read the new Murderbot and there's a lot to talk about but all I want to say is I love that MB was mad at Three for disrupting the escape plan but when Three explained that it didn't know why it did the things it did and just started a SecUnit uprising because it could, MB was just like. Yeah actually I would also do this if I were still in my first week of free will. Understandable

Stupid dumb blurb I wrote about Slate and their relationship with the other founders except it's from the perspective of. somebody. younger who knows them. Maybe Mica.

Idk I didn't plan I'm just better at writing in first person pov*

Slate was never really social. At least, that's what Gneiss told me. Apparently even when they were an eft they weren't that friendly. They made a few close friends as a hatchling and decided that was enough, I guess. I don't think that strategy worked too well, though.

I don't really see them talking to any of their friends anymore. Then again, they also don't play with me much anymore. They always say they're busy when I ask, so maybe they're just too busy to talk to their friends.

To be fair, Gossan doesn't talk to them much, either. I don't think they like each other. Everybody says they used to be friends, but they won't tell me why they aren't now. I think it's something to do with Gossan's scar? I just know they don't get along. I think Slate's sad about that. They act like they don't care and they told me they don't need Gossan "breathing down their neck" anyway, but when I ask they act the same way they do when somebody brings up Feldspar. Like they feel bad about it, but they don't know how to say sorry.

I think Hornfels still likes Slate? I feel kinda bad saying this, but it's hard to tell. They still talk sometimes and they don't seem angry with each other like Gossan and Slate, but it feels.. bad being around both of them at the same time. Like they both feel guilty about something, but they're also blaming each other for it, and they do it all just by looking at each other. I don't get it, but it makes me feel bad, so I don't ask about it. Something tells me they'd just say it's a grown-up thing, anyway.

They wear suits, but they don't even know basic etiquette.
