i love that isafrin can be the most straightforwardly romancey, wholesome pairing on a surface level and then you go one (1) level deeper and run into siffrin’s seething guilt and convoluted feelings around touch and intimacy and the extent to which they want or don’t want those things in a specifically romantic way or if he was trying to seek connection and love in any way he could once he knew that Isabeau wanted those things from him in that context, and the combined power trip/self disgust at “manipulating” Isabeau’s desires without his knowledge to make themself feel wanted and in control. and then you keep going and there’s also Isabeau’s own warped self image (still, in spite of all his changes, fearing that he’s someone that would be shameful to know), his “emotionally stable pillar” role and self-taught therapy talk masking his deep fears of real confrontation (struggling loop after loop to confess, not wanting Odile to confront Siffrin about their weird behavior in the sus quest bathroom talk) and how Siffrin’s fear of vulnerability and Isabeau’s fear of Pushing Too Hard allow both of their issues to fester unspoken long after it’s clear that the problems exist.

all this to say. duality of isafrin. makes my heart full and warm and happy to see the sweet, fluffy, silly love and connection between them (mutually romantic or otherwise). and then also. the delicious, delicious complications. gnawing on them like a dog with a beloved bone

I would say I want what they are having, but it's definitely nightmares, so no thanks

So.

This snapped me out of the art block I've been having.

"aging primadonna starlet" altered my brain chemistry so hard it gave me the first art I've been at least satisfied with in days.

Imagine Loop leaning into their and Siffrin's shared theater kid status by describing their whole dynamic as like an aging primadonna starlet- pun very much intended- being jealous of the pretty new chorus girl at the opera house or whatever.

"Oh, stardust, you can't understand it- you still have your looks and a future ahead of you! And all your hair- you should do something nice with it, I had such good hair and I never appreciated that when I was your age. Ah, youth is wasted on the young..."

"We are literally the exact same age."

(Also gives them a good excuse to dramatically stroke Siffrin's face and lean way in close while quoting lines from plays they like, which is great.)
