the way ISAT has a chokehold on me, and has for several months now is absolutely insane. i have other shit i want to get done! instead, here i sit with the first (and probably only) artbook ive ever immediately needed the second i saw it. and i mean, the literal day i first saw a post ID5 made about it on tumblr, i went. yeah ok i need that

the way i somehow dodged the 2 hats spoilers while still seeing (and falling for) the sifloop propaganda is also crazy. didnt block a single tag regarding isat and managed to dodge every single bullet*

*additional bullets. jelloapocalypse's condensed/non-full play through video was my introduction to isat

Imagine after the loops end in assassiffrin assfrin au the party accompanies him on his redemption quest and keep having to protect him from people trying to get revenge on him.

Then Vaugarde turns on the Saviors for harboring the one half responsible for the curse.

They demand to know why and the family says "how is he supposed to atone for what they've done if they're dead?"

And then imagine Siffrin spends a lot of time learning more Wish Craft and finds a way to go back in time to stop himself from helping the king in the first place.

Buuuut of course he has a crisis because that means he'll lose his family as they are now but also he kinda did kill a bunch of people and mess up an entire country sooOoooOOoo

But theennn Isa or Odile catches wind of what Sif is trying to do and the fam manages to secretly tweak his wish so their memories are transported back with them too.

and idk they go back looking like loop or another star creature and hunt themself down to stop them from meeting/helping the king. The fam has to find him before he spirals too far.

its very late and my brain is going all over the place with this. Maybe he finds the king and is about to kill him but his past self walks in and is like uhhh and then they fight and stops him from killing their other self.

Loop is there too maybe idk and the king gets redemption too i guess?

Imagine.

ok so um. i got. a BIT carried away.

truly unfortunate timing that my urge to Create Stuff has never been higher, and yet eye surgery has dictated a restriction of screen time allotted.

Its over soon, so hopefully i will still have the motivation 🤞

ISAT Sequel - Sky: CotL Mix/Au

Forgotten Country, AKA The Kingdom of Stars

Use of Wish Craft instead of lights/flames

The dock (based on Isle of Dawn)

Spotify Playlist! (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

Premise:

After travelling to Bambouche, rumors starts to spread about an Island appearing and dissapearing through the fog and clouds at the horizon. After Siffrin opens up about his home, the family decides to head towards the Island to find possible hints that could break the Wish, bringing back the memories and the colors as well.

And now that Siffrin created the first fracture, it might just be possible to save his home.

love when a mutual has a new blorbo and they keep putting posts on my dash that are completely incomprehensible. it's like watching a friend win a game show in a language I don't speak. I don't have a fucking clue what's happening to you but it's nice to see you happy

[risingfenyxfire]

the fandom infantilization of Siffrin upsets me. like yall thats a whole ass adult!!!! he lived on his own for like 10 years!!!! without a home or a community to call their own they survived and did well enough that their first meeting with the party was SAVING THEM from a Sadness!!! the entire party's impression of him was on a scale between "extremely suspicious stranger" and "cool and mysterious"!!!! their reaction in the first loop to odile bringing up the super potion incident was to bat their eyes cutely!!!! they start the touch therapy thing in the garden room on their own initiative becasue they're aware of their own mental health needs!!!! Siffrin is a chaotic gremlin ADULT who manages his own shit perfectly fine until he's put in a situation tailored to target his personal weaknesses with laser precision!!!!

like... yall. Siffrin looks after people around him. Siffrin has strong opinions on taking care of children. Siffrin is second oldest in the party after Odile and shares a unique understanding with her.

Siffrin. Is. An adult. An asexual, nonbinary, short adult who's managed to remain functional and autonomous despite serious neurological problems without any support network. The rest of the party thinks he's cool because he is. They have strong moralðical principles that they act on, rather than just personal duckling imprinting loyalty ("I love you personally because you're mine" comes up nowhere in his speech to Bonnie about why he would protect them at the cost of mutilation again - it's purely about Bonnie being a kid and adults having an obligation to protect them)

Like... there's this perfect storm of Siffrin being - explicitly asexual, implied on the aromantic spectrum, - mentally ill with brain damage (the memory shit) and also physically disabled (the eye), - nonbinary, - short and thin, - quiet with cutesy mannerisms, - specifically needing care and affirmations at the end of the story, that combines to people lumping them into the "cute baby to be taken care of" category, consciously or subconsciously to various degrees

but like

no it's actually pretty important that Siffrin is an adult who needs those things

mid to late twenties is an adult

mid to late twenties having lived on his own since mid to late teens is VERY MUCH an adult!!!!

give me Siffrin who drinks. give me Siffrin who gambles. give me Siffrin who used to engage in a variety of high risk hobbies/games/activities that they've scaled back on since joining because they identified Mirabelle and Isabeau as impressionable youngsters to be kept safe from bad ideas. give me Siffrin who is competent at a wide variety of random odd jobs because that's how they used to make a living. give me Siffrin who has a wide pool of mostly but not exclusively shallow medical knowledge and an unsettlingly deep expertise in first aid because he's had to take care of himself for a decade (and who picks up Healing Craft quickly&effectively compared to the years people usually need to study it due to this 'field experience'). give me Siffrin with multiple failed relationships in their past, some of which ended amicably due to the natural process of self-discovery and drifting apart, some of which ended because the other person was an asshole, and some of which ended because Siffrin himself was an inconsiderate jerk. give me Siffrin who used to be a much more unpleasant person, including on purpose, when they were younger. give me Siffrin who can in fact be trusted with sharp objects post-canon but avoids some of them of their own volition now because they're aware of self-harm urges being a bad thing to be avoided and are capable of managing that for themselves when outside of an active ongoing mental breakdown!!!

give me Siffrin who is better at flirting than Isa is!!! give me Siffrin who can talk Mirabelle through her hangups and anxiety attacks!!! give me Siffrin who engages with Odile as a peer when the rest of the party sees her a an elder!!!! give me Siffrin who is good with children from the position of an adult who has the patience and empathy to indulge them!!! ALL OF THESE IN THIS PARAGRAPH ARE LITERALLY CANON FACTS ABOUT SIFFRIN!!!!!

sickfic about Siffrin is great!!! give me sickfic where at one point everyone else falls apart from fear and pressure and Siffrin, all while still having a fever and stumbling while walking, steps up and picks up the slack!!!

give me a fic where Siffrin helps Odile deal with the unsettling experience of her new research topic having antimemetic properties by sharing his own tricks for dealing with memory loss!!!

give me a fic where Siffrin keeps having to scale back their flirting with Isabeau because they keep stumbling on Isa being unable to articulate or even realize his boundaries and have to make a project of walking Isa through basics of healthy relationships!!!!

give me a fic where Siffrin teaches Mirabelle about the wider world outside Dormont and outside her sheltered bubble as a Housemaiden!!!

give me a fic where Bonnie increasingly relies on Siffrin as an adult to come to with problems, and Siffrin keeps having to develop new skills and areas of knowledge to effectively help!!!!

give me a fic where the party has no idea how to help Siffrin with a problem because Odile has never had a problem quite like this in her life and the rest of them just feel completely lost in the face of experience they have never had!!!!

GIVE. ME. SIFFRIN. THE. ADULT.

(also, on a tangentially related personal preference aesthetic note, give me Siffrin with scars. give me Siffrin who overdid Healing Craft in the last loop so bad Mirabelle couldn't heal them cleanly and who is happy to have reminders that these events really happened and are over now and he's still in the same timeline. give me Siffrin with top surgery scars deliberately kept as an aesthetic affectation. give me Siffrin whose face did not heal cleanly from the loss of an eye. give me Siffrin whose body reflects their history and experiences)

oh to be the only one out of the loop

[risingfenyxfire]

yes!!!! this is exactly what i keep losing my mind over. there's so much in so little, and yet nothing feels rushed or forced with pacing.

and the "gaps" in time between episodes dont feel like you're missing out on stuff, because its just retail work isnt it? space retail, sure, but retail nonetheless.

its fantastic and amazing and i love it.

okay i know i already said this once but now that i've had more time to think i do wanna talk about the storytelling in Deep Space Discounts.

i think most people have picked up on how well paced it is, with short episodes that include only what's needed without feeling rushed. DBI is juggling plot, characters, and worldbuilding incredibly well. it's impressive animation, of course, but it's also impressive writing.

DSD includes only what is needed, and sometimes "what is needed" is not what you'd think. like in ep 3, which was mostly focused on Beep. it's not a plot episode, really, but there's worldbuilding and a ton of characterization. i was talking to my mom about it the other day and she was surprised when i mentioned it was 5 episodes under 10 minutes, because there's so much going on. but! it doesn't feel like there's anything missing from the story.

and the big thing I can't get over is @deepblueink2d's trust in the audience. i think a lot of us are used to mainstream shows being hand-holdy and generally distrustful of (if not hostile to) their audience, and the amount of trust in DSD is really refreshing. as the audience, we're being invited to genuinely engage with the story; not just in typical fandom sense but also as art.

there's a lot of skill going into this, a lot of moving pieces we can't see, and i'm so excited to see where it's going next!

[risingfenyxfire]

what if we held hands in the abandoned stock room of the space walmart and we were both intergalactic prisoners

[risingfenyxfire]

what if we trauma bonded in scifi prison retail hell (and we're both girls)

[risingfenyxfire]

the way my heart stopped. it never even crossed my mind that something could ever happen to them. and yet i spent the next 4 minutes fucking terrified.

fantastic job Mr. Ink! please never do that to Beep again 💕

[risingfenyxfire]

Gub and Kip fic

Vee and Kip fic

Somebody stop me

[risingfenyxfire]

I don’t remember if I’ve posted about this, but I have a theory that the reason why Kip is such an asshat is because of his plantlike species, maybe him not being able to get natural light for so long has taken a physical and mental toll on him so he just doesn’t care about anything

It also seems incredibly funny to me that if he was brought to like, a normal planet/somewhere with sunlight he starts acting way too nice and it freaks everyone out

[risingfenyxfire]

anybody else feel like Xancis was referring to Immy when he told Vee that she had been a wonderful guide? because its not like he was actually an investor, he was just there to see how well the human was doing for the company.

am i reaching too far? unsure.
