i also saw the ''scavs worshipping a bird'' comment and i imagine the idea is based off of the scavenger templars and disciples having birdlike masks. and a weaver is a species of bird. not quite 'worshipping' but since scavengers seem to seek out echoes i imagine it's something similar to that "ooh mysterious entity on a metaphysical plane above my comprehension. i have to be its follower" thing. Boxbird
The traces of that Void Weaver guy are fucking me up, because...
What do you mean there's apparently gonna be a Void deity-esque creature, that does something Creation/Repair-wise with the Void and it has feathers. Some guy in one youtube section said something about Scavs worshipping a bird and I have literally no idea where they got that from, but all this stuff just sets off monkey recognition.
He???
Really though, what I'm expecting is some kind of Quetzalcoatl creature but instead of a serpent it will be another worm. Videocult likes their worms [Void worms (Rot worm), grapple worms, water glow-worms, sand worms, the leviathans maybe from a certain angle, worm grass, the Void spawns/Ripple amoebas look like worms...] and the Ancients + some of their architecture/art reminds me of the Aztec aesthetic.
I expect the Weaver either won't verbally communicate with us or it will be incomprehensible similarly to Iterators before the mark of communication or something like the vibe of the Void worms. Maybe communication with it will be available upon reaching lvl 10 Ripple, which I'm pretty confident will definitely come by. Lvl 9 is weird.
And the uhhhhh...
So weaving is for making a fabric out of threads, right (fabric of reality ass set up). The general approach is that there are vertical threads that are strung on the loom & horizontal threads, which are the ones that are weaved inbetween the strung ones. The horizontal ones are called weft (or woof ha) and the vertical ones are called *warps*.
The most expectable reasons for the Void Weaver's existence is that it will stitch up the tears that the Watcher and Spinning Top made and that it's somehow responsible for the strand form of reality.
My takes are that 1.) the strands exist outside of it and it only utilizes them to create the fabric reality and the tears we create give us the chance to get a peek at it from behind the metaphorical curtain- aligns with the idea that it will stitch up our peeping holes or 2.) the tears/*warps* we create is what gives this thing the tools/space to start weaving *something*. Maybe a new direction? That new cycle Moon mentions? (actually upon checking, that's Downpour dialogue. that most likely doesn't apply here.)
That second one is definitely the more off the rocker idea, but hey. Versatility in thinking is hardly a bad thing.
Who would win: Person who has auditory processing issues vs. somebody who doesn't know basic vocabulary and explains everything with twice as many words as necessary with 50% less precision.
I feel that rain world may have DEFINITELY had some lovecraftian inspirations when it came to the void and rot creatures. Especially when it comes to the rot worm and prince. Were they seeded from a higher entity? Where did they come from...?

Holy **** oh right okay. So I was about to make a post about how using speech to text has already been a game changer for me but as you can see by the line of asterix at the start of this post the bloody thing auto censors swear words. (Yet bloody got through, ig Because it is a description and also British slang.). Hint: the word I was trying to say there starts with F and ends with K.
Oh and guess what else you can't say you can't say? **** [Nipples]. had to type that myself. penis is ok but **** [clitoris] isn't, and all my attempts to say "clit" were Misunderstood, which may just be my speech but at this point I am not willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Vagina is OK too but every time I say it there is a moment when an * shows up on screen first before the full word does. this doesn't happen when I say the word penis.
It is completely heinous. Anybody who needs speech to text is immediately forced to comply with the rules set out by people in a position of power and then enforced by a machine — a machine that is a very powerful accessibility tool. Imagine trying to dictate a letter to a doctor or fill in an E consult with speech to text, only to have words of your anatomy censored as if they are taboo. there is already far too much stigma around genital physical health — and note that I could say genital but can't say **** [clitoris] — for it to be okay for these words to be censored.
And even if somebody just wants to swear In a message to their friends or write smut/**** [pornography], they should be able to. There is no justification for this feature. No reason for it to be default.
I'm trying to find a way around this. There is a settings icon on the little speech to text bar that comes up, but this only gives me options For the speech typing launcher, auto punctuation, and to set the default microphone. it's making me extremely angry
