In Stars and Time: a thought

So! You played and finished In Stars and Time, one of the games I love very much, and also know about the secret epilogue stuff. Wow! Here's just some of my thoughts for you!

Now, normally I don't do this sort of thing, but hey, there's always a first! People may also have already thought about and talked about this, but I just wanted to put down my thoughts anyway. I may have missed some details or forgotten some! This is all speculation stuff yadda yadda.

So, Loop. Loop-de-loopity loopdoop. Super spoilery stuff, but hey, you know the secret epilogue stuff already. So you know that they used to be a Siffrin, and you know of the two wishes they made: the wish that caused their time loops, and the wish that 'got them out of there'. The Timeloop Wish, and the GTFO Wish.

The GTFO Wish is what brought Loop to the ISAT timeline in the first place, but they are a Siffrin themselves, so they also have the Timeloop Wish. We see them use timeloops to prevent losing to Siffrin during their fight.

I simply find the workings of these wishes to be quite interesting. What we know about Wish Craft from the game seems to point to one fact: Every wish accepted, is granted. No failed wishes. Wishes that might be able to be combined, may be combined, wishes that might have conflicts may work around each other.

Let's look at the wishes we know of:

Siffrin's wish, which was to stay with their friends, and Vaugarde's wish, which was for Vaugarde to be saved from the King. This essentially was combined into one wish that caused Siffrin to loop in time until the country was saved, and that Siffrin would afterwards be able to stay with their friends.

The King's wish was never directly told, but it seems to be implied that it was granted in the final few moments before he was frozen. No breaking, no nothing, his wish seemed to be sufficiently granted. Which is interesting. Was the King's wish, which is what gave him power, lined up in a way so that it would not conflict with Siffrin's and Vaugarde's wish later on? Was the King's wish specifically playing into the eventual granting of those wishes? Did the later wishes just luck out, and the outcome of the King's wish was simply redirected even if it were to still be granted truthfully? The King's wish isn't concretely known, and nothing completely confirms that his wish was granted, but this to me seems to be how it played out.

It also seems implied that the reason that nobody can remember the entire home country that Siffrin and the King used to reside in, was because of some Wish with the effect of blanketing the entire country in non-existence. It's likely that it wasn't the direct request of a wish, but more of the method that the Wish used to grant the wish, similarly to how Siffrin was given the power to loop time to defeat the King & bond with their family, and how the King was given immense power to accomplish his own wish. One extra thing seems to be that the harder one attempts to break the wish, the stronger the wish has to react. Out of one's mind, the wish has no effect. On one's mind, and it'll give them a headache. An attempt to say the country's name? Deadly.

Loop has two wishes active. The wish to stay with their friends, and the wish to GTFO. What's interesting is that these wishes might have to play around each other. Loop wished to "get out of here", in an attempt to break free from their situation. But, it could not happen in a way the blocks their first wish - to stay with their friends. And of course, Loop can't simply loop back to before they got the hell out, because then that of course betrays the GTFO wish, and I would imagine that an attempt to do that would play out similarly to trying to say "the country's name", given that its a direct attempt to break the wish.

The result is that Loop was placed in an alternate timeline, with another Siffrin encountering their own time loops. This works! They've been released from the torment of their own time loops, while still being available to stay with their friends, clearly not being actually blocked from doing so as seen in Act 5. Which brings me to one more thought.

I believe Loop's wish to stay with their friends is still in progress. It's not been finished granting. Being thrown into a timeline is simply part of it, and further down the line, Loop may be given the chance to open up to the ISAT timeline version of their friends and form connections. And to stay with them.

What I'm saying is, there is a very real chance that Loop might join the New Journey, alongside Siffrin, Mira, Isa, Odile, Bonnie, and Nille. Like an even bigger family.

And darn I think that's just swell.
