when you meant to do the hang out at the favor tree to show Siffrin how the loops aren't triggered by the death of their friends, but instead they went sleepies and you didnt have the heart to wake them

so now you're realizing this whole plan was dumb from the start because knowing your friends had to go through the entire house and face the King alone makes you sadsies

Siffrin: Hey, Stardust, any ideas for this loop?

@chipper-smol This is how I picture the start of 80% of their conversations going after awhile in role reversal au.

[justanotheryellowsoul]

I know Loopsif sleeps through the Hang Out in this au bc they're exhausted, but I am STRUCK by the idea of "this person is so kind to you and they care about you and understand your situation, but they knowingly hurt everyone you love"

Like when Siffrin went through the Loop Hang Out he was betrayed. But also they and Loop weren't super close. Siffrin was suspicious of Loop to some degree, and also expected them to be mean to him. It was quick for Loop to change the subject and explain afterwards, but Loopsif is more volatile at this point and just,,,, yeah. I think it would hurt them more.

New fic of mine based on @chipper-smol 's Role Reversal AU! In which Siffrin meets a mysterious star being for the first time.

I think this is one of the coolest au's I've seen

Pinned Masterpost

This blog will act as an AU blog ran by @metropolitankei as to not take up more text on the main blog's pinned post in the Other AUs section. Posts posted here will get reblogged onto main.

Anyways, onto the masterpost sections! All sections will be under the cut! When posts get published, they'll be added accordingly. And if you wish to make art of the AU, you can tag this blog to notify me, use the #ISAT Role Reversal AU tag, or submit the art! (CLARIFICATION: use the tag with the spaces in it, not the version without, as ISATRoleReversalAU is a completely different AU by chipper-smol)

SASASA:P Siffrin's social skills are fried

gonna link the original brainworm of this au in the replies but the tl'dr is Siffrin makes a wish to be there for Loopfrin like they were there for him.

[chipper-smol]

he would just drop shit like this unprompted

(i feel like i need to state that this is an AU so people unfamiliar with it dont think im misgendering the star, who is actually ISAT Siffrin.)

[iknowicanbutwhy]

accidentally posted non-birthday art on the birthday day so i made up for it by busting out the colors (COUGH monochrome COUGH) and the background. Happy birthday to the fellas!!

[chipper-smol]

i think i need to clarify names and other details for the IsatRoleReversalAU before things get too confusing

ISAT Siffrin = Stardust, Loopsif SASASA:P Siffrin = Siffrin, Loopfrin, Siffrin Prime

Stardust still uses he/they Loopfrin uses they/them (the de-personalization already did its damage)

(Stardust still uses parenthesis) [Loopfrin still uses brackets] ^ just another way to help keep them distinct by using their original forms of thinking/transmitting info

[chipper-smol]

love your role reversal au i have been turning it over in my head... do you think stardust would ever tell loopfrin's party about the loops for them, or would that be too much of a betrayal of trust?

I feel like Stardust would at first feel like its not his place to tell the party, but as the loops go on he’d be thinking about it more and more often

though I feel like for this AU its important that Loopfrin is the one who tells the party, because if Stardust does it for them they’d kinda be… indifferent. instead of seeing it as a major hint to get out of the loops theyd shutdown or even force a loop so the party would forget

(yay just another thing i dont have control over) -Loopfrin

[chipper-smol]

how did stardust end up in loopsif's timeline in the first place? i'm assuming this is post twohats canon, did he make a wish later on to see loop again? to be able to help loop in their original timeline? mostly i'm curious if stardust knew what they were getting into lmao

...also if loopsif DOES get out of their time loops eventually... would he go back to his normal timeline, or would he be stuck there forever?

...would loop still be there in stardust's timeline?

(sorry if it's a lot of questions or it's too spoilery for the au or you haven't thought that far ahead yet. lol)

1: Yes i think that this was a very intentional decision made by ISAT Siffrin. He'd be very cautious about Wishcraft and its rituals after the events of the game, so Stardust's presence is planned out (somewhat)

I'm thinking that its been many years since the loops and most of the party has settled down in their homes across the world (and its not like they dont make time to see each other). ISAT Siffrin gets melancholy and wonders... if they could have prevented Loop from becoming- well-- Loop.

The idea took root and then well here they are

Stardust made this Wish with returning back home in mind too

2: What would be more narratively satisfying for you? what kind of ending would give the right flavor of catharsis? NSFNFfgn ok I know thats a cop-out kind of answer but this AU definitely has a multiple endings sort of thing going on

(...i do think that it'd be a sort of Steven Universe kind of ending where Steven re-fuses with his gem half sort of thing, Stardust and Loop fusing together or ISAT Siffrin and SASASAP Siffrin)

New fic set in the Role Reversal AU! The concept for this AU and the piece of artwork that inspired this particular fic were created by @chipper-smol

You needed to do a demonstration. They need to know more about what makes the loops work and... this is one way to do it.

You didn't expect them to fall asleep before it happened.

...

You should have thought of something else.

[cakes-isat-blog]

Hey, what if I just started bawling inconsolably. What then.

Major ISAT spoilers below so SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL

havent seen anyone with this idea yet but

AU where Siffrin fills the role of Loop FOR Loopfrin during SASASA:P

Siffrin appearing in the form of Loop for Loopfrin after their successful attempt on the King. Right before Loopfrin cries out to the Universe

just

being there for them like they were for him, y'know

and yeah he's a few... thousand loops late but bETTER LATE THAN EVER HAHAHAHA

imagine how suspicious and then angry and then desperate Loopfrin would be about Siffrin. The "What are you??" "Why didn't you help me sooner?" "You're staying?" "Actually, I don't care" <- cares a lot

everything about this star person is a novelty for Loopfrin. They had a whole moment when Bonnie handed them a candy with a crinkly wrapper. imagine how off foot they'd get after coming back from a loop and this star person remembers.

Siffrin taking as many chances to casually touch Loopfrin. Arm slung around their shoulders. Booping their nose. Holding their face and reassuring that they're real. Hugging them- getting them feeling present in their body once more.

encouraging Loopfrin to stop using the knife

poking them in the right directions- PROVIDING THE SAME QUALITY OF LIFE MEASURES LOOP DID FOR HIM! Memories saved. Important locations indicated with magic. Level progress saved. Control over where they can loop back.

do you see??? do you understand?????

tl'dr: let siffrin be there for loopfrin i think it'd be cool

[the-starry-skies-in-orbit]

Stars this just hurts. At least Siffrin gets a nap.

But Stars- Stardust who is trying to help Siffrin the way Loop helped them, trying to help them learn an important lesson because they can’t just Tell Them.

Stardust who is getting hit with the same hidden regret that Loop probably felt on their go around but at least Loop got the intended outcome.

Stardust just has to sit there Knowing Siffrin’s Party have all died or been frozen. And Siffrin isn’t even awake enough to glance at it.

The more things change the more they stay the same, but even as Stardust tries to retread the path they’ve walked Siffrin isn’t ISAT!Siffrin, Stardust isn’t Loop, it’s never going to be the same because it wasn’t ever equivalent in the first place.

Stardust can’t just go through the motions and end in the same place because the situation Isn’t the same. This time Stardust is in the supporting cast now, pulled in Siffrin’s wake.

And that wake is one that keeps going in circles.

when you meant to do the hang out at the favor tree to show Siffrin how the loops aren't triggered by the death of their friends, but instead they went sleepies and you didnt have the heart to wake them

so now you're realizing this whole plan was dumb from the start because knowing your friends had to go through the entire house and face the King alone makes you sadsies

:)

[livesworthlivingau]

I can't even just leave this to the tags. I'm not sure when the last time a single image so thoroughly ruined me. Just... gods... You can't even see their face and you can just FEEL the exhaustion in that poor little loopfrin, all the while stardust is just taking on all this pain for them. He just wants so desperately to be there for them like they were for him...

Fuck I'm crying now...

the way he just tries to hide from it under his hat... ugh... I just...

fuck me I'm gonna have to write about this at some point...
