Day 21: Mal Du Pride Month

Something silly for day 1 of pride while I work on a cute request

It is done (animation meme under cut)

It went better than last time...This is a good sign! But...You should probably prepare for the next puzzle...

transcript below:

(Mira touches your cheeks again.)

There! You’re good as new!

…

...

…Healing isn’t a cure all. You’re going to be fatigued from that blood loss.

So try to take it easy?

(You won't.) (But they're here, that's what matters.)

[You equip "MEMORY OF LOOPING."] [Looks like you're starting to get the hang of this, dawn.]

(Yep. You're all prepared for what'll come next.)

(You head to the next room with the note.) (Once there, you rush to take it in your hands-)

(BLIND IT, WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK!) (YOU'RE STARVING!)

SIFFRIN! STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Spit out that candle!

[spiraling-stardust]

"Okay, so..."I die"."

[spiraling-stardust]

The neurons immediately activated once I got to Loop's page huh.

Yeah.

God I love them so much it's embarrassing.

You stupid star you make me EMBARRASSING

No context. Smth smth catharsis of just goofing off on the notes app on your phone by grossly missusing it to draw finger-style and accidentally taking a sharp left from funny doodles into angst land. What's happening? No clue, ask my brain at 1am.

L'Amour-propre n'est pas par nature, mais par acquis & introspection

((I just think they should hug it out, your Honor ;3;))

transcript under cut:

Loop: ...

Siffrin: ...

Loop: Why...

*lowers*

Loop: Why won't you do it... After everything I've done...

Loop: I'm weak. You defeated me.

*tighten*

Loop: Only one of us can go on...

Loop: ...

Loop: [After all...]

Loop: [You saw yourself walk away without you. You body, stolen from you by your wish. Doing your mistakes. Over and over and ov—]

Loop: [How could you NOT hate him? ... Stars... You should've hated them.]

*THUMP*

*!!*

Siffrin: (Loop)

Loop: ...

Siffrin: (... Siffrin... It's okay. It's over. It's over. Please. If I can't give up then you can't either.)

Loop: [...]

Siffrin: (Please, Loop.)

Loop: [... The Universe has never been fair, Stardust. Not to us.]

Siffrin: (... Once... you stopped me from using my knife. Do you regret it?)

Loop: [... no.]

Loop: [It's one of the only things I could never regret.]

Ok so hear me out.

Loop… but they’re a Marvel Symbiote. They crashed down to Earth and bonded with Siffrin a few weeks before the party reaches Dormont. Siffrin’s sudden boost in performance and strength is questioned by the party, but they ultimately write it off as it could help with the King. Loop only begins to speak to Siffrin once the loops start, and everything spirals from there.

All of this… just so Loop can finally use the Royal We pronoun in a way that fits.

And also Symbiote Sifloop sounds like SUCH a fun concept.

You’ll never guess who fell asleep and missed stuff again

(Spoiler alert: It was me)

thinking about mal du pays again. you’d think literally writing a whole ass song about it would be enough to cleanse my brain of this creature but no. not even close. still thinking about em. winner of the worlds worst coping mechanism award.

most readings of a post canon mdp are kind of like a moody siffrin-repression detector, which is cool and pretty fun, but my favorite part of mdp in the game was how deeply dreadful its entire encounter was.

i keep imagining a post canon au where mdp follows the gang to bambouche. with siffrin incapacitated by the events of the game, the party slowly realizes something’s following them, but are unable to do anything as it slowly encroaches upon them.

bonnie wakes up in the middle of the night, with a shadow of siffrin motionless at the foot of their bed. it speaks in their voice and tells them that they hate siffrin for letting them die. they don’t know what it’s talking about, but a deep pit opens in their stomach when it speaks. they don’t sleep at all that night, watching the thing standing motionless at their bed, scared it’ll move when they take their eyes off of it.

mirabelle keeps seeing it out there, spiral eyes staring back at her from the woods. until one night she awakes and finds it’s broken into her tent. it keeps grabbing her wrist, driving her hand into its cheek, crying “i can’t wait to never see you again.” in her voice.

isabeau wakes up one night to find it’s crawled into bed with him. and yet, even as it curls up against him, it keeps telling him (or maybe itself?) that he only loves it because it made it love him. he doesn’t really know what to do except try to hold still, and let it spin its wheels until it leaves in the morning.

odile i think would probably be the least affected by mdp. i think the mystery of it would trigger her researcher brain and override most of the horror. i can imagine she’d even go out at night on purpose just to find it. and hey, it finds her! once she gets over the weird voice mimicking thing, she finds it’s pretty docile… at least for now. although, strangely it keeps trying to get her to grab at its collar. the one time she obliged, it went limp like a cat held by the scruff of its neck.

obviously the party is concerned. despite the thing following them being… harmless, mostly, they still can’t shake the feeling that it could be dangerous. when siffrin finally recovers enough to be lucid, they’re terrified that their homesickness has quite literally followed them back onto the road, and even more so that now it’s interacting with their *family* and freaking everyone out. if he even remotely sees it, he panics and passes out.

and like. the whole party knows it’s a sadness, but they’ve literally never seen sadnesses act the way mdp does. and while siffrin is out and unable to explain, it’s up to the party to try and figure out just what the thing following them even wants, if anything at all.

(also had a fun idea that until odile does some research with it, the party doesn’t know what its name is, and so each member has their own little nickname. bonnie calls it the nightmare, mirabelle calls it the shadow, isa calls it the mirror, and odile calls it the specimen because researcher brain)

i have more Thoughts (tm) about this, but for now that’s all I’ll share for the sake of the people who follow me for music wondering why I’m infodumping about a video game lol. Uhhhh listen to my single about it and that’s about it bye

[spiraling-stardust]
