Journey to the End (Once Again)

Escaped the time loop only to fall right into another one!

As such, here’s some ‘In Stars and Time’ flavoured LMK fanart, as this moment from the show really brought to mind a certain scene from the game (¬ ͜ ͡¬ )

Ref image from ISAT below! (SPOILERS) and still image of gif cos the quality loss makes me cry. Started my drawing too big before planning the video ;;;;;;;;

My Sydcarmy truther origin story

GIF by @volvaaslaug

Braciole's "Family style. Two tops, booths. Danish design. Tasting menu at the bar. Window on the side. For sandwiches. Yeah," and the silent dialogue they had right before that and all along, as they were delivering those lines.

Only a guy in love says "I'm sorry" like that.

And only a woman who loves him too comes back after the Reviewgate and says "I forgive you" like that.

I had no idea I was watching a love story before that moment.

I shared this in the Sydcarmy Community already, which you can join here if you want, but I also thought about sharing it here on my blog.

Shoutout to @tvgremlin for prompting this to begin with.

Omni Loop, directed and written by Bernado Britto, is worth watching now that it’s on Hulu, as Ayo Edebiri continues her rise to stardom.

another day of seeing a bunch of ppl on twitter push back on sydcarmy because "they're mentor/mentee" and it’s just really jarring for me as someone who primarily ships that dynamic elsewhere. i’ve seen some great meta on here about why that’s not actually their dynamic, but reasonable minds can differ, and even if it is their dynamic that does not preclude shipping them for me at all. i get that it’s not some folks jam and that’s totally fine, but it seems like they don’t realize it’s not always creepy and real life healthy romances can emerge from it too. but maybe more importantly to me, fiction does not actually have to match reality!! it doesn’t have to be “healthy” idk it just really bothers me that folks can just declare that a dynamic is inherently not romantic based on…what exactly?

also on a more general note, they don’t need to come up with these “valid” reasons for not being into it and we don’t need to justify ourselves. just say it’s not for you and move along! i find myself increasingly frustrated by shipping discourse (wouldn’t even call if fandom discourse bc so many of the people weighing in on this are not fandom people as far as i can tell) that is framed as if there is some objective rubric by which we can judge whether there are any inherent romantic/sexual aspects of a relationship when there absolutely is not.

Fargo: Laundry Chutes and Ladders

It struck me that the home invasion sequence in "Insolubilia" is filled with both ladders and falls. Characters and objects repeatedly attempt to go up, only to be sent back to square one by taking a tumble, to borrow a phrase from Wayne. We have the ladder in the laundry chute, which in itself perfectly expresses the name of the game; the ladder to the attic; and the trellis over the porch. In the previous episode, a ladder also featured prominently in Dot's plan to confuse the people out to get her. I was reminded of "The Leftovers," in which ladders are frequently used to represent the concept of Jacob's Ladder, or the axis mundi. As it turns out, the game of Chutes and Ladders has its origins in a similar idea, that of gaining spiritual enlightenment.

"The morality lesson of the game was that a person can attain liberation (Moksha) through doing good, whereas by doing evil one will be reborn as lower forms of life...Presumably, reaching the last square...represented the attainment of Moksha (spiritual liberation)...the game represents the...quest to leave behind the trappings of worldly life and achieve union with God." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_and_ladders The original name of the game, Snakes and Ladders, is even more evocative of that quest, with the snakes being the devil and his temptations. Season 5 has frequently alluded to the devil as a snake, even in this episode, with Roy referring to Beelzebub and his serpent tongue. So up and down they go at Dot's house. Pace falls down the basement stairs. Later, the ladder symbolically falls on his neck. Both Gator and Brandy fall down the main stairs after Dot pulls a Jean Lundegaard/Odis Weff shower curtain maneuver, referencing both "Fargo" the movie and Season 4 of the show. The sledge hammer is triggered by Dot to fall on Lemley. Gator basically kicks Brandy down the front steps. Dot kicks the jack-o-lantern down the basement stairs. Scotty and Dot climb down the trellis, and Wayne is rolled off the roof. This constant battle between trying to be virtuous and getting sidetracked by vices may be viewed as a perpetual loop. We keep cycling through the game, with variations in movement each time, trying to reach the top of the ladder. So I wonder if this season is also showing us those variations in a time loop. Do the contradictions between scenes actually represent different iterations of the loop? When Munch describes being hired first and then selecting Donny as his partner, and Gator describes finding Donny first, who then presumably brings Munch into the plan, this is a contradiction in the narrative. But maybe it's not the same cycle of the narrative. These are just two variations that result in the same outcome: Munch and Donny kidnap Dot. It just took different moves to arrive at the same place on the game board. The game is being played multiple times. When Wayne ties Scotty's tie in the first episode , he says, "Over the mountain and through the loop." In this episode, Roy says, "Loop's closed." When Gator is confused by the street signs in episode 3, he notes, "The phone's saying one thing, sign's saying something else. Turn right, circle back." The song "Simple Gifts" is heard when the militia is outside Roy's house in episode 3. Part of the lyrics are: When true simplicity is gained, To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed, To turn, turn will be our delight, Till by turning, turning we come 'round right. How many loops will it take to achieve the desired outcome?

Did some more audio recording today while out walking with my wife. I was very glad to find that my H1n Zoom (great gadget by the way, and no the brand didn't pay me to say that :P ) records outdoor ambience very well, I was able to pick up cricket sounds, birds, and a water fountain. However this brought some new challenges as well - once I'm outside my house I can't control the sound environment and as a result I kept picking up wind noise and the occasional car or AC unit as well. I'll have to practice and experiment more to see how to deal with the wind issue. The issue of cars and people is a little easier as I just need to pick times and locations that have less of other humans around. I found this article that I'm hoping can get me a good solution to the wind problem, so I thought I'd share for anyone else who is new to sound recording as well.

As a side note, I'm also looking forward to figuring how to make my ambient recordings loop seamlessly. Like making seamless textures, it's a concept that sounds like magic, so I'm eager to learn how the process actually works!

S3 - The Loop

This season open and ended with Chicago's Loop.

03x01

03x10

Source: Jacunzo

What changed? S1 and 2 had nestled loops (storylines within storylines, all interconnected) that open and closed within the same season with hopeful cliffhangers, meaning the family lunch or the fridge guy freeing Carmy from the walk-in, whereas this season had an open loop → TBC and no hopeful cliffhanger, just a bad review that seems to be sealing The Bear's fate.

Loops, any type of them, are used in storytelling to hold attention (if well executed).

But what does a loop mean?

Bears the question:

Are we coming back to the beginning of the story?

What was it?

Why looping back to Syd now? Why like this?

I don't know, IMO she shouldn't have been relegated in the first place to then be looped back to. BUT since this is where we are at, I'm glad we are going back to the roots where all there was, was a chef with panic attacks that wanted to protect his late brother's legacy and for that he turned to Syd, who made him forget what UPS was.

Carm is detached from her right now and that's why everything is going to hell, or looks like it. But this season is the loop, he will loop back to her.

Or something will take them both back to the origins, when all there was was a family business he tried to keep afloat.

I think the star will come, sure, but Carmy they will stop chasing it. They will prioritize other things, way more valuable than a star, because chasing that star is what's killing them, they will come back to their roots and this season failed to show us that, this season showed us the open loop, not the closure of it and that's what failed because for an open loop to work, you need to end on a hopeful note, not on a loopy note.

Anyway... it all keeps pointing to S4 being the season in which some Sydcarmy action will happen, because if he comes back to what truly matters to him, he will have to come back to this moment:

Update: → The loop has begun to close already.

Look who made another best dressed list. Ayo Edebiri!!

Guardian!

[loop-lover-central]

At least one(1) person asked for it. SO-

We'll start with some stuff from the isat spoiler Q&A

Let's get started!

-There is only one canonical straight shot timeline that technically erases the prologue from existence. When looping back the previous timeline is completely overwritten, like saving over your save file in a game! It's all gone! Despite this, when you start a new game you're making an entirely new Siffrin to torment. So at least you're not making the same Siffrin go through hell again and again! *sweeps Loop under rug* Don't look at that. Don't worry about them. They're fine.

-While wish craft and other craft types are described to have a smell, time craft does not! I mean, what would time craft even smell like anyway? Clocks???

-Mirabelle's time freeze immunity will wear off eventually!

-Loop could actually be still comfortable with He/They. While the time loops did put them through it, the They/Them was mostly for anonymity. But there WAS some sort of identity shift. So you can and should have fun with Loop pronouns. Do it! Do it!!!

-Despite the island being forgotten, it's still physically there the entire game and before that! So it being lost is purely anti-memetic fuckery. It is just censored out by the universe.

-Loop and Siffrin sitting quietly together was originally a bug where ID5 accidentally softlocked Siffrin and trapped him at the tree. They thought it was a sweet moment of respite and implemented it.

Let's Switch it up! Reddit AMA

-There was originally a love triangle between proto Mira, Isa, and Sif before Mirabelle was made aroace. It probably would have ended in an OT3/polycule situation. So QPR MiraIsaSif truthers out there, enjoy this one.

-The idea of Loop being Siffrin came about during saap's developement. Originally the guide for isat was going to be one of ID5's ocs.

-Change God knows everything about meta because they are a God. Loop only gets a smidgen of meta knowledge, however.

-Loop's ability to see what Siffrin is up to works the same way their calls work! The farther Siffrin is, the harder it is. So Loop calls stop working past snack break 3, and Loop can barely see past the King.

-Isabeau wouldn't play video games. He touches grass.

-Siffrin was subconsciously inspired by Snufkin, from The Moomins. So we wouldn't have Siffrin as he is if everyone wasn't rabid over Moomins a few years back.

-Sadnesses ARE are a constant in the world of isat. They only become more common and poweful during times of great duress, like war or Insane False Monarchs with timey wimey powers

-The doppleganger wish in the selfcest book happened "a long time ago" and is only a child's tale now.

-Odile's name is her given name. Kinda. (No elaboration on what the fuck THAT means.)

-Siffrin only got memory issues after leaving home. They were not a forgetful child.

-At one point before they had names, Isabeau was just called "dude".

-While only called scrawny in game, Adrienne calls Siffrin "deathly thin". Metabolism monarch out here. (Probably all the casual wish craft.)

-The reason the party stops reacting to Sif's poking is just because it's tragic and makes things worse for him. That's it. The universe just hates him.

-Everyone but Odile would like rollercoasters.

-Just... this. This is so funny. Also Loop being the final boss while Siffrin is the secret final boss... Also Loop confirmed deity looking!!!

-"comic!siffrin is a whole different siffrin than game!siffrins sadly. rip to them. still stuck in time" WAY TO FUCK ME UP ON A MONDAY? Comicfrin is still stuck in time.

-The characters have official voice claims but not a single one is serious except for the King's. Mira sounds like Animal crossing isabelle(isa.belle. hm.). Bonnie sound like a inkling from splatoon (ID5 specifically used the female inkling as example). Odile sounds old. Isabeau quantum mechanically sounds flamboyantly gay or like All Might from MHA. Loop sounds like stock glitter sound fx. No Siffrin voice claim. Siffrin has video game protagonist voices which means they sound like whatever you want.

-Loop's glow is comparable to a lamp. Not enough to hurt the eyes.

Siffrin and Friends Q&A time!!(Beware these are SEMI-CANON)

-Siffrin isn't really a trap master. They're just fast enough to activate and dodge the traps.

-Odile doesn't like fennel.

-Fave flowers! Bonnie=Sunflowers, Odile=Orchids, Mira=Lavender, Isa=Roses, Siffrin=None, dubiously answered with dandelions however.

-Sif is a night owl, Bon and Mira are early birds, and Odile and Isa are average.

-Siffrin and Odile have probably eaten crabs and would tempt Bonnie with their sinful ways of consuming crustaceans.

-Odile has been traveling for about 2 years.

-Odile knows how to play a shamisen. It's one of her favorite instruments as well.

-When prompted with competition Loop and Siffrin stare each other down like "kids about to throw hands".

-Loop would like to eat a pastry if they could. GIVE THEM YOUR BAKED GOODS NOW!

-Kill the King day is a Tuesday.

And finally random trivia I found while sniffing through the wiki!

-Salty broths actual cure 6 cooldown, instead of 2 like the dialogue implies.

-Chateau means castle. The cursing of castle castle...

-The Change God face with six eyes and a cat-like mouth is inspired by ID5's oc Eye Gal

-The only time tears can freeze Siffrin with no warning is in saap. By using the second Star Crest to clear one of the rows of Tears, you can just walk into the second row and freeze.

-The dev's older notes mention specific shades being used for hair dyes but they're never mentioned in-game because of the an unadded event.

-In ACT 2, there's a small chance Siffrin says "Heheh… Bonk." when activating the switch for the rock trap

-Saap Bonnie thinks nuts are gross according to some unused dialogue, but enjoys raisins.

-During early development in saap tears were originally intended to be spike traps. A left over sprite of Siffrin being impaled does exist, including minor blood spurt. This was probably changed because it was a little too gruesome, ID5 definitely tried to reel in the darker concepts and has stated they went too dark sometimes.

-Loop turning back into Siffrin was considered long enough for them to get an entire animated walking sprite.
