I love my bug boyfriend!!

…Basically the fanart for that one scene in @pangolin-404’s fic Obsession Infestation where Lyle and Spine dueled it out on who is the Sam stalker. In Sam’s bedroom.

Please do check out their fic if you’re interested! It is a pretty brilliant character read on Lyle’s obsession and capacities to act on it, and is very nicely written.

God. Imagine Lyle actually works up the nerve to USE Sam’s spare key at midnight with the flimsy rationale of borrowing back the crossword book Sam ‘borrowed’. And maybe grab a few pictures of Sam if he isn’t awake, because what’s the harm in that!

But when the door swings open, he sees:

A feral-looking woman sleeping on the floor with a dog-sized rat curled up atop her stomach.

A man with a deranged smile arguing with a child made out of teeth about whether Honko’s Grand Journey is ‘mid’ or not.

Cockroaches everywhere. EVERYWHERE. There’s so many.

Deafening music blasting from Sam’s room not that Lyle knows which room is Sam’ room or anything, haha, wouldn’t that be weird and creepy?!?

A little girl teaching a three eyed man how to make a paper fortune teller. He seems enraptured.

A towering, cloaked, inky black figure with a white mask that silently rotates in place to gaze at Lyle. Nobody in the room is paying it much mind and that just makes it creepier.

A trenchcoat full of cockroaches arguing with a titanic blue man about the validity of the five-second rule.

A scruffy, shawled man petting what appears to be a landmine made out of fingers.

A potted plant getting a beer out of the fridge.

Sam asleep on the couch in the middle of all this. Somehow.

A hulking figure in a hockey mask sitting at the foot of the same couch. They stare dead ahead, silent and unblinking.

Lyle sees no other option than slooooowly closing the door and backing away.

@huhwhuhs :]

like to think since hes like much smaller in the overworld like to think he can just pick him up like a cattle

[whitebookposts]

With the current fandom shipping scene (at least from what ive seen on tumblr), Sam is NOT beating the monsterf*cker allegations

Bonus with spoilers for the Denial ending:

[zoriac]

I would imagine that if shadow was a bit more aware of itself and its actions, that it would also be somewhat freaked out by the other stalkers. It honestly just seems awkward and clueless to me, while the other two know damn well what they’re doing 😭😭

Like I ain’t excusing its actions or saying that it’s better than Lyle or Spine, I just think that it wasn’t human in the first place so it didn’t know how to act - the paintings in Fredrick’s apartment exist and so does the visitor, so why would it be far fetched for the shadow to be inhuman and unable to comprehend how humans work and behave?

Headcanons btw idk what’s really up with that bitch ❤️

Look Outside Unimplemented Interactions

I was poking around the game files and stumbled upon some cut/unimplemented interactions between some characters. Keep in mind none of this is canon unless at some point it is implemented (which might never happen!). I just thought they were cute and wanted to share!

(If you would like to look at these yourself, you can open up the game in RPG Maker MZ. They are in Common Event#0096.)

In the game files it is implied that Lyle was at one point able to join you in your apartment, potentially as a party member? The only interaction I was able to find with him though was a few short ones with the rat baby, who I named Sam Jr in my playthrough so whenever the script would use the baby's name I will just put Junior. Lyle/Rat Baby Interaction 1

Lyle cautiously approaches Junior and takes a picture.

Lyle: "I'll develop this tonight!"

Lyle Rat Baby Interaction 2

Lyle gives Junior a little photo album with only one picture inside, on the first page.

Lyle: "Here you go, the start of some precious memories!"

Lyle/Rat Baby Interaction 3

Lyle brings Junior more pictures of things he photographed nearby and begins a little show-and-tell with the child.

It also seems like Aster was intended to be in your apartment at one time. Same as Lyle the only interactions I was able to find were with the rat baby, although Aster's are more developed.

Aster/Rat Baby Interaction 1

Aster tries to approach the child, but loses his nerve and walks away. He holds some kind of image that he wants to show it.

You can tell he feels bad for losing his nerve. He avoids your gaze for a little while.

Aster/Rat Baby Interaction 2

Aster finally summons the courage to approach the kid. He clutches an image of the solar system in front of himself... mostly to keep the child from view.

Aster: "Y-you see this? L-look."

Junior grasps the image with a tentacle and yanks it from him.

Aster is visibly startled and seems like he might flee again, but manages to keep his composure this time.

Aster: "That's the sky. You see it? L-look at the stars..."

Taking a deep breath, he sits down near the child.

He almost goes on autopilot as he blathers about the solar system and its planets. His comfort zone.

(if Joel is recruited) Joel sits cross-legged and listens in on Aster's little astronomy lecture.

(if Sophie is recruited) Sophie adds helpful trivia for each planet. Venus has giant worms on it, she says. BIG worms the size of a BUS. She seems very knowledgeable. Aster makes no effort to correct her.

The child calmy sits through the whole thing, occasionally tugging at Aster's robe. The astronomer flinches every time, but he is obviously making an effort.

When Aster is done, he looks down to see Junior has fallen asleep, swaddled in his robes and clutching his leg.

He carefully lifts it off the ground, holding the little abomination in his arms for a few moments.

Aster/Rat Baby Interaction 3

Aster approaches the kid again, this time with a little astronomy picture book.

He seems to have mostly gotten over his fear, though he still winces when Junior climbs onto his lap.

if the rat baby can talk: The child manages to stay awake for the full lecture. Aster teaches it new words, helping with pronounciation.

if the rat baby CAN'T talk, instead: The child manages to stay awake for the full lecture. It laughs and points at various images in the picture book, which Aster patiently explains in plain words.

At the end of the lecture, you notice Aster doesn't wince at all when the child gives him a little hug.

there is a lot of interesting stuff in the game files. At one point it looks like there was a whole mechanic around raising the rat baby in different ways which would influence which KIND of rat baby you'd get, similar to like. Pip from Chrono Cross? Different interactions raise different hidden attributes for the rat and depending on which ones you get it had different forms? Or presumably different combat stats and skills. Instead the rat baby we get has a single skill which is from the Baby Teeth enemy for some reason that only does anything worthwhile if the user is Teething... which the rat baby can't do. And they only get half the attack from melee weapons! I obviously still love my child and would make the sacrifice for them every single time, but I do wish Junior was a bit more interesting as a party member. Maybe something more will be implemented in the future!

anyway I've hardly used tumblr but I love this game and want to see more fanart and discussions about it thank you all byyyyye

[thecrystalauthor]

I have had Lyle from look outside for five minutes and if anything happened to him I’d die. Honestly I love this whole game and can’t wait for it to be done 😊

[voice-o-fallacy]

Nothing special in particular, just want to draw a bit more of this man

Also Leigh. And Lyle
