Stanley Parable: The Musical

you get those introduction things some plays have.

it’s the Narrator, obviously

“The Game is about to begin. Please keep your phones on silent. Make sure you know where the exits are in case of an emergency.” bla bla bla “Please Enjoy”

the curtains open; you get the whole opening “This is the story of a man named Stanley” speil

you watch Stanley go through the freedom ending, thinking this is some kind of exposition. then; once it finishes, the curtain close and the lights come on.

What?

the Narrator starts talking again. “The Game is about to begin. Please keep your phones on silent and find the exits in case of an emergency.”

the curtains open. Stanley is visibly confused during the opening speil.

this goes on for a while; Stanley doing various endings, and each time the curtains draw the introduction changes.

“Please keep your phones on silent, it might scare Stanley.”

“There’s no exits. I’m sure you figured that out already.”

“Again?”

“The end is never the end is never the end is never the end….”

do you guys see it?? do you guys see the vision?!

it’s not actually a musical btw. i’m fact; there’s very little music, just like the game. the whole “Musical” thing is a lie

also i know very little about theatre so this is probably in accurate in same way lol

A bit of context for the followers who don't interact with me on the constant: for a couple of years now I have been working with @umbraproductions112 on a project in a game known as Rec Room related to the Backrooms. If you're interested the game is an ongoing WIP and is known as The Backrooms: Silent Screams. This sort of.. series(?) takes place in the world of the game. It may not follow all of the same characters but you may recognize a few if you play the game and read this.

Unfortunately now I gotta bring up this lovely word..

DISCLAIMER: The Backrooms Silent Screams uses custom takes on entities and features entities that you will not find on any Backrooms related wiki, fandom or otherwise. This story will feature uncomfortable topics that will be mentioned in the trigger warnings section at the top of each bit. Please keep in mind that you the reader are responsible for the content you consume. If I do something stupid please call my ass out on it so it can be fixed-

Also. I suck at editing. So formatting may be a bit wonky! ..it'll get better over time- ..I think. Final words before I get into the actual opening into this: if you want to be added to the tags, leave a comment and I will try to remember to tag you in this.

So enough stalling. Enjoy and I apologize for any editing mistakes as currently I AM POSTING THESE FROM MY PHONE!

Rumors speak of a train of some sort that can be found through some abandoned tunnels at off hours of the night. Some claim that moths or other nightly creatures had led them to it, others just felt compelled to follow a mostly overgrown trail. Either way you find yourself here at the train which has come to a stop. It looked like something from an old film, the kind of train you'd expect a murder mystery to take place on, or at least that seems to be the point. As you stand there, you notice a strange goat-like creature boarding the train carrying a box of ..something. Being further curious, you follow their lead and board the train.

The interior of the train car in question was Victorian in design. It was quiet, except for the hum of the engine andsome quiet music in the background. There was talking from further in, most likely the next car over. There were shelves lined with books along with various canvases, paints, and other art supplies. A table with a half finished game of chess and some chairs sat near the window. Judging by the dust covering the board and chess pieces, it had been left untouched for quite some time. A couch sat across from the table, and a mess of blankets and cushions like someone had sat there recently to read. There was a small bar of sorts not far from the couch, on it sat three drinks that seemed to have been placed there recently. Whoever was there seemed to be expecting guests.

As you approach the door, you catch part of the conversation. Two people, one sounding a bit more rough than the other, yet still managing to sound polite.

“It's not much..” said the first voice. “But I figured you'd like to go over some of this. ..maybe even transcribe some of the audio recordings.. I know you've been itching for a new project of late.”

They sounded almost excited to be sharing this.

“You know me too well, Karma.” came the second voice, which was softer than the first and sounded amused. “It'll take me some time to get through this- oh? And there's artwork too.. interesting work- but I'll be more than happy to do so. Consider this an exception to how I handle wanderer tales.”

The sound of footsteps was approaching the door just as you reached it.

“Thanks! Just keep me posted if you find anything noteworthy!-” answered the first voice as they opened the door. You are met with the strange goat-like creature who got on initially. They had dappled gray what you assumed to be skin, with black hair with bright green tips and even brighter green eyes to match as they stared utterly confused by your presence. The shirt and jacket combination they were wearing was not in good shape, part of the sleeve had a piece torn and the shirt clearly had seen better days. The worn shirt revealed nasty scars across the creature's chest. The only thing of note about the jacket were two very worn red stripes on the sleeves, one of which had writing on it that read: “Outpost 36”. Not even the jeans were spared; it honestly looked like they got into a fight or two on the way to the train. Behind them though stood a slightly taller figure that looked like some sort of moth-like fae, dressed almost like some sort of magician with an umbrella hooked over one arm. “uh- hey Sakurai...you expecting anyone else?” said the goat looking confused. The moth nodded. “I could use the company as I look through these.” they said, smiling as they motioned you inside the next car. “Come on! Let's look at this together and see what stories we can uncover.”

I hate when people say they think the intersex flag is ugly. Like. I’m going to bite you I’m sorry it’s not, it has amazing symbolism and is basically spot on when it comes to what makes a good flag design. The design is simple and easily recognizable, it’s visually distinct from most other pride flags while still being relatively cohesive with the way a lot of pride flags are designed, and also. The SYMBOLISM. Purple. An in-between of pink and blue. Yellow. Also a colour free from a lot of gendered associations. And the circle. The CIRCLE!!!! Wholeness and completeness and unbrokenness!!!!!!!!!!!! The intersex pride flag is beautiful and I refuse to budge on that

I think it’s a running joke that everyone can tell when Ghost returns from spending the night at your place. There are lots of signs, but one of them is that he smells like he rolled around in a bath and Bodyworks. Big lieutenant who scares anyone who so much as glances his way, and then he walks past and… is that a hint of honeysuckle and vanilla?

Obviously no one who likes breathing says anything to him. But everyone knows that they have a brief window for their tomfoolery cause if he spent the night with his bird, he’s more than likely in a good mood.

My mom's going back to university to study to become a therapist and her biopsych textbook is... interesting. It straight up states that XX chromosomes=female and XY=male, no variation or exceptions, forget about the existance of monosomy or trisomy of sex chromosomes I guess let alone AIS, Swyer syndrome or de la chappelle syndrome. Oh but wait it gets worse. It later brings up intersex variations as 'exceptions that prove the rule' of bullshit binary ideas about sex and brings up some case studies, one of which is about a woman with CAIS and then proceeds to invite a debate over if she should be told the truth and that she has CAIS. Im going to fucking rip a wall apart, at least my mom has me as the context to know that that's bullshit, but what about people that just take that at face value? People that want to go on to be psychologists or therapists? They're going to fuck any intersex patients up so bad if they think it's debatable if we should be told the truth about our intersex-ness, and not only that but think its ok to surgically 'treat' us without telling us or giving any semblance of informed consent.

I'm reminded of how I read about how one intersex woman had to break into her doctor's office to steal her medical records, because she knew something was up but even as an adult they refused to tell her. And how intersex people are far more likely to have poor physical and mental health, a good chunk of that probably attributable to the fact that shit like this happens and so we're probably more likely to avoid doctors and mental health professionals and not trust them, for pretty good reason. Some of the things I went through during diagnosis and right after and some of the things they did were traumatic and violating. But at least they fucking told me I have CAIS and gave me a say in my plan for treatment/monitoring when I pushed back. The bar is so low that despite how horrible and traumatic some of that and how I was treated was, to the point where I'm still processing certain things almost 3 years later, by other standards I got incredible care. Because at least they fucking told me. That is the bare fucking minimum. No, that's lower than the minimum, or should be, but we've been mistreated by the medical system so much that telling us we're intersex at all is a step in the direction of progress.

But people, supposedly mental health professionals and doctors, want to debate if we should be granted the basic decency of knowing.

Could you imagine being a sex worker and John is one of your most frequent customers. And you assume he’s lying about his name to try and throw you off.

Headcanon that killer sees everything in black and white… but souls

so imagine his reaction to seeing color’s fire since it’s from the souls.
