I don’t know if this has been asked yet, so I’ll ask now:

Are Iterators a part of the great cycle? Or do they experience the same death and rebirth as the player/slugcats do? Or more generally: what types of things are a part of the cycle, and why?

Iterators live far too long and are far too karmically aligned to have their existence scattered through multiple strands, they tend to really only exist on a single one. But they're still material creatures, and still are a part of the cycle

Just... unborn, in a way.

Strands split and branch off and die due to rapid activity in dreams- like player deaths or karma gains. But iterators don't really do any of that, their strands never branch until they're diseased or near death, and if not for their taboos, would be able to slip away in an instant, like pulling a loose thread out from a sweater

Do not have my thoughts together but a take on iterator puppets being literal puppets

Leaning more into the biomechanical aspect of iterators also

Imagine spending the night under relentless bombing, unsure if you or your children will see the morning light. Imagine being told to flee—again—not knowing where safety lies.

Story written by @rumiandroses

Hossam Al-Qazzaz, his wife Hanan, and their four young children, are among the 80% of Khan Younis residents now ordered to evacuate toward the coast.

They are currently in Square 111, a region dangerously close to the so-called "evacuation zones" that are actively being bombed.

Hossam has shared that their area is expected to be targeted next—and they fear that when the next order comes, they will be forced to flee into even deadlier zones.

Last night (05/18/2025) was horrific. “We never imagined that we would be alive in the morning,” Hossam wrote. Now, with communications at risk of being cut off, Hossam has asked the world to share his message and pray for his family’s survival.

His hope is to find a path to safety, to protect his loved ones, and to stay alive long enough to rebuild.

Please, share this post, pray for Hossam and his family, and consider donating if you can, so that this precious family can continue to survive.
