Upd8 thread 9/15/25

this update was. booooooooooooooring

no way...satyr silhouette :DD

also, probably just me seeing things that aren't there, the usage of surfacedweller made me think of eridan...and then the description of an omnicidal madman and a megalomanical heretic made my mind jump to Eridan and Rose and their shared interest of magic (ˉ▽￣～) most likely just a coincidence but I'll take any Eridan scraps, even hallucinated ones

anyway, very cool update, and also unexpectedly early after the last one :0 would be cool if we're going to get a bunch of smaller updates in quick succession ^-^

bro people are analyzing if the new silhouette is a satyr or a nymph wearing cosplay

ooooh yeah i didn't consider it could be CC wearing cosplay, that's a neat theory. And would explain the lack of horns? the color also seems like it could be CCs.

Anyway, fun update! I'm actually liking the pace of smaller updates every few days rather than two big ones for the month.

Also hey! One of my commands got used! Yay :)

my big theory from here is the there's some time stuff going on, and by passing around the ~PTH book back and forth and making notes, Ly'lac and TC are gonna end up creating the original version paradoxically. This makes me think maybe TC could be a time player?

@Blueberry Lunascratch Well not all satyrs have horns, judging by the anime cover from the last update., but anyways it def has to be CC, it is their colors!

also BAM i took a screenshot

Also, I find it really interesting that ~ATH is ~PTH. Which means its pronounced “tilde-PTH”

I wonder if “Til Depth” means anything

More organic world building is always fun. Confirmation on the orbs and their use as waterproof computers helps and I believe this is the first "Sigil" yet displayed. None of the Omegas have them (Yet at least) and ly'lac has her curious around the eye marks, and The Caretaker of course has that curious circle that may or may not be the nymph version of the swiss medical cross?

Lots to consider.

Personally, between the text colour, the very interesting handle allusions and the ungulate/mammalian ears the silhouette is probably CC, to join the ranks of Ominous Silhouettes with AA and her big wizard squid head. It's of course possible those are fin like projections as occur on certain octopi and cuttlefish, or , given that CC loves anime, possibly cosplay.

Or horse ear headphones. "Cloistered" very well could be her expressing a shut in or rarefied lifestyle that isn't embraced by many given her interests.

Cow & Chicken also had some interesting episodes it must be said.

While I'm Certainly not suggesting we rush anything, I do think that rounds out alot of the basal world building we'll probably need. But who is to know? The programming language's name and no less than the third and fourth curious ancient character from Deltritus' impressively swift past is another curious element though. Characters inserted by Dirk and/or Rosebot during various detours in the fast forward? Archetypes engineered for utility by any of the same plus Terezi and her automatic inclusions and suggestions? Given we can pretty much imagine The Voice works like an exile terminal, under her control, that lets her have some rather direct leanings on the deltritans.

Hard to tell either way at this point but it's really very fun expecting more!

New foreshadowing of a new character<3<3<3<3

Does anyone recognize CC's sign? It looks like an alchemical symbol but it doesn't seem to be in the Unicode table.

(Also, interesting that umamusume satyrs have signs to begin with, since nymphs don't seem to.)

@a1m3v it could be a pun about how they're underwater, aka in the "depths" of water

oh I can not WAIT to see this other fella..

i'm pretty jazzed to see ~ATH/~PTH getting more fleshed out. i want to know the circumstances that led to it being a state secret...

since we got that little preview of maybe-CC i'm guessing they'll be introduced next, but i'm reaaally looking forward to seeing TC! especially because i think the sugar cube page implies that TC is a satyr, and i'm eager to see the other new species. i don't wanna rush this away though!
