Happy halloween!

To celebrate the spookiest of all months, I drew IB in the outfit of klee from genshin! (Something in me wants to draw Garry in the outfit that kaeya got in the same event... Genshin loves putting it's men in the sluttiest outfits imaginable but.. let's be real, so do I)

I hate to be all like "The Child was actually the evil mastermind the whole time!!" but I have a theory that Mary lured Ib and Garry into the fabricated gallery to kill them.

She looks into the real gallery and sees a young girl, about her age, dressed similarly to her. She writes messages for her, "come to a world without any grownups", "Come Ib", "I have a secret spot to show you" and asks her to step into the fabricated world. She also sees a young man, who keeps to himself and went to the gallery unaccompanied, and whose name is 2 letters away from being the same as hers. She asks him to step in as well. If her siblings don't kill either of them, she can always do it herself. It's not that hard when the thing tethering them to life is a delicate flower.

She meets them, befriends them, and eventually ends up alone with Ib. Mary has some questions. "Is Garry your dad?", she wants to know how close Ib and Garry are; and conversely, how upset Ib would be if Garry died or vice versa. "Is your mom nice?" Mary wants to know about her potential future parents. It would suck if the family she inherited treated her poorly. "Would you leave with me or Garry?" she needs to parse if Ib is worth befriending, and once again how attached she is to Garry.

Garry finds out. And suddenly everything is in jeopardy. She can't catch them by surprise anymore, and even if she plays nice they'll never trust her again. She tries to kill Ib, but Garry is just in time to protect her and flee. The cats out of the bag, but it's not over for her yet. Because they still have to pass through her sketchbook.

Depending on the ending, she either succeeds in becoming real, or dies trying.

Reasons Garry should Win

@indieswag-competition

Protects Ib through the world as she goes, often risking his life. It's easy for him to die if you do not protect him, and he is set on trying to help save you, even if he's scared.

Canonically queer. He uses feminine pronouns/dialect and was said by the game creator to "cross the boundaries of gender."

Often brushed aside by the fanbase in order to focus on Mary instead, because more is known about Mary's backstory

The game itself inspired Witch's House, another very popular Indie title

That's just a few things. And he's up against Crewmate AmongUs. We can do better than this!

Vote Garry 2023 for the Indieswag Competition

I JUST REALIZED WHO STALKER IS

YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE THE THINGS YOU LIKED WHEN YOU WERE TWELVE

[strawberryjamsara]

There’s a reversal of that ‘I can understand villains killing people but I draw the line at shitty parenting’ that I feel and it’s ‘I will excuse any characters shitty behavior if they’re good with kids’

[redstrewn]

Does Garry from Ib count or is he not purple enough

Most of my decisions on purple-ness are based on design alone because I don't know 95% of the characters submitted. If I had never played Ib and only knew that he had purple hair, I would say yes. So, based on sight alone, I'm going to say he counts.

You ever think about how in Ib’s “Forgotten Portrait” ending, the painting of Garry replaces the painting “The Hanged Man”? One of the Major Arcana in tarot is the Hanged Man - the game even references this, mentioning that the painting was released in a limited edition tarot deck.

The Hanged Man represents, among other things, martyrdom and sacrifice. The only way to get the Forgotten Portrait ending is for Garry to die, when he trades his rose for Ib’s.
