Gave Up On This But I Tried 😭

Kaito deserved to look like a mess during chapter five

(Also has me yapping in tags)

Flower for you.

Siffrin isat 🤝 EPIC odysseus

Will sacrifice anything and everything to be with their loved ones

in stars and time fandom hear me out (epilepsy warning)

Thinking about how ISAT on its surface is just a simple rpg. And that the appeal is the fun quirky characters! But that’s also Siffrin’s thought. And that they are scared to leave his friends. Which fuels the loops and therefore the entire game.

And it’s like, “damn, I also wanted this. I’m literally Siffrin.” And then the game FUCKING GETS YOU a with the ol’ “you have nothing to return to after this adventure is over” and now I’m in traction.

It—I-tha-it’s fatal-I’m dying. Full owie

Because, yeah. I know that forgetting your entire country is unimaginably awful, but I feel parts of it just because I’ve had voids I don’t want to return to that happened for no discernible reason, and I have felt scared in the past that I will somehow once again be at my worst and not recover. And Siffrin doing everything in his power to both maintain the good thing they have and also not break whatever tentative “peace” with the issue at hand hits kinda close to home.

It’s just such a good fucking game

Happy Mira day!!!! Have a mira sketch I never posted + correctly themed pencil doodles cause I don't have access to my laptop

I drew like this as a joke anyways I bought the game and now I’m broke

Do yall think about the ending of ISAT in any other characters POV? Cause I think about it so much, that must be buck fucking wild. Like, you get to Dormont after MONTHS of traveling with these people, you're feeling strong, you feel like you have a chance, so yall go separate directions to get everything done before the big day tomorrow and your buddy Siffrin goes to take a nap. You're like, ah! Classic Siffrin, so silly and nonchalant about everything, they never once thought we would lose. What a swell fella :). Then not even a full half a day later, more like a few hours later, he appears out of no where with a fucked up face and starts hitting you exactly where it hurts emotionally. No reason! You didn't do a fucking thing! They just fucking went for it! And now you're pissed cause that was a close friend of yours that you considered family, you're sad, you're mad, you dont understand what happened. You meet up with everyone at the clocktower early because apparently he did that to everyone! So good! Good! It's not just a you thing! You all talk it out and you all agree that maybe you should leave them behind tomorrow if they keep acting like this. Except. Except. They never came to the clocktower, they never came to talk to you about what happened and thats. Not acceptable. You need to understand what happened because after sleeping on it, why did he do that? They wouldn't ever do that to all of you, so something must have happened!

And then a Star appears.

And you learn exactly what has been happening behind the scenes but it doesnt make sense. But you know that your buddy just went to solo the house and you know they arent strong enough to do so, you know exactly what their level and strength and weaknesses are and the King is rock type! He's going to kill Siffrin if you dont go save them! So you start running through the house to go save them while the Star guides you, but the doors are all unlocked. There are ghosts everywhere. The hallways dont make sense. Something is broken, failing, and you are running out of time. so you climb up and up and up until finally you get to the final floor and then to the King's room expecting Siffrin to be a splat on the floor but. He's still alive, theres a chance! So you go and protect them from the King but uh, huh. The King is nearly dead? Siffrin almost solo'ed the King? A scissors type versus a rock type nearly won? And it was only a nearly and not a he won because Siffrin was frozen in time? What???? So you freeze the King, you save Siffrin, but they're injured and sick and have a fever so you try to take them to the head housemaiden to get healed but uh. Shes speaking nonsense??? Utter bullshit. Skipping, repeating, saying things out of order, and then she says you all can go home and everything falls apart around you.

Cause Siffrin? Yeah, your buddy who was being a tad bit of an asshole? And they just solo'ed the bad guy without you? Yeah, he's the last boss you need to beat actually. And they're huge! So big! You get ready for them to fight you, except he. Attacks himself. In front of all of you while crying. He's sad. They're hurting themself. You can not do anything but you start to connect the dots and you figure everything out. Then everything becomes normal again and they say what they wished for and hey! You wanted that too! So you hug them as he cries himself out and all of you are tired. That was a lot. They're craft tired and sick but they're okay. So you're happy and relax. They want to go back to Dormont, so you all go. Then THIS LITTLE ASSHOLE WALTZES OFF ONLY TO COME BACK INJURED TO HELL AND BACK???? He said he was going to go say thanks to that Star person, who you still aren't sure is a person but whatever, and then he comes back exhausted and clearly just used craft after being told not to?

And YOU STILL DONT KNOW HOW SIFFRIN BEAT THAT FUCKER AFTER SOLOING THE HOUSE, OR THE DEAL WITH THAT WEIRD SHADE IN THE SKY IN THE SHAPE OF SOME FUCKING WEIRD LEGUME. WHAT. HOW???? WHY??????????

Anyway I think about this a lot, it must have been a long and confusing two days from their POV

"You arnt the only actor in this play"

do u ever think about how. "the happiest i can remember being" conversation happened after siffrin lost their eye

do u ever think about how mirabelle's expression here is because her friend straight up told her that the jrpg journey where he lost an eye was the best part of their life

do u ever think about how this isn't one of siffrin's fake smiles. can anyone hear me
