#theyre more a like than they like to admit

spoilers for in stars and time

ohhhh i get it. i get it now. after like 30 hours i geeeet it

so i dont get everything yet, the game's not over, but so much just fell into place. took me like 2 dozen loops to get there but i got there

in going back over the sidequests with isa, mira, dile and bonbon, siffrin goes "say the line, siffrin" and its like ohhh shit i get it now. siffrin sees themselves as this key actor in a play, the play that is the looping adventure, and he sees his key role as to play their part and pretend this is the first time! every time! that they themselves need to be this unchanging actor in the time loop as the play repeats again and again, repeating their well-rehearsed lines and for who? for what? the verisimilitude of it? so that his friends don't catch on he's going slowly insane from this? because actually admitting there's a problem is so difficult, they'd rather go through the same sequence of events again and again in the hopes that they can find a solution on his own? but his own perspective on it traps him, preventing him from branching out far enough to get more information, because that would upset the image of normalcy theyre so desperate to project? because he would no longer be upholding the starring role they gave to themself in this whole theatre fiasco? IT'S IN THE SAVE MENU CRAB DAMNIT THE GAME IS SPLIT INTO 'ACTS'!!!

...

its the joke of 'men would rather do X than go to therapy' except its sif and X is "loop through the most important 2 days you've ever had 100 times"

there's still shit i don't know yet, and i'm still very excited to see how it all unfolds. loop 24 here we come, right? i'm still streaming it, i'm still having a blast. its clear that siffaroonie can't get out of the time loop on their own, and the only way to do it is to get other people to notice him being weird, cuz they can't just ASK for help, right? xp

so like could we get headcanons of how curly and ponys siblings help each of them deal with stress? and then some of them helping each other?? im curious how it compares and contrasts and then what they end up doing for each other! tyy

OoOoOo OK GO IT!!!

pony + his siblings

•they WILL call him pet names, mostly pet names like baby, love, etc etc, and usually pony wouldnt like that but pony feels this sense of safety when they do

•these r thee physical affection guys ever, they give pony forehead kisses and asks if he wants anything

•i think they would literally have to make pony open up more, i think darry and soda r less into the whole “looking tuff” thing pony so desperately wants

•theyre a lil more protective of pony, not by a BUNCH, bc pony doesnt like that, but like if one of the gang was teasing pony, they tell them to lay off

•they all have a sweet tooth, so theyve drove pony to get ice cream to calm his nerves before and pony doesnt like to admit it, but they do give pony a sweet lil treat when they can

curly + his siblings

•i dont think they ever rlly talk about their own issues, its hard for them to, no matter who it is, but maybe they let each other in a lil??? just gives the most general statement ever

•tim and angela arent above going beyond curlys back and settling the situation by themselves, they WILL do it man, they have no shame

•i feel like only if they were being DEAD serious, they would use his real name, i think the shepards could handle a great amount of stress on their own, so for curly (or any of em) to b REALLY stressed, it would have to b pretty bad

•there r some things used in haitian culture for like, good luck and to help w stress, and i think angela would b the one to have em, so she hands it over to curly, curly does wear em from time to time

•sometimes curlys mind is faster than his mouth, and he ends up babbling in english, so to make him feel more comfortable, they speak in kreyòl, curly cant exactly pin point WHY, it just helps

curly + pony

•curly kisses pony so he feels better, however, it is a lil rushed

•sometimes curly just accidentally slips into speaking kreyòl and he either catches himself or pony has to remind him to speak english

•i think they both pick at each others skin so they have to find ways to distract the other from doin that

•theyre BOTH trying to act tuff, even more so a bit w each other bc its like they wanna prove that they r, but looking at the other, just stops them from going any further w that

•petnames R def used, curly even whips out the kreyòl ones, pony doesnt know what some of em means, but they still make him feel wanted and kinda understood, embarrasses him the same tho

•they dont CLING to each other, but they def do lay on each other, its like them knowing that theyre right there helps

•considering theyre around the same age, they both know who the hell the other is talking about and will just always have beef w them from then on

i am the cattt just chillin outt but in the night she's all i think aboutttt

[fatedroses]

I draw a sketch to simply offer my own personal little headcanon and theory that Zenos was the only other descendant Emet got close to (knowing him probably unintentionally) besides Lucius.

Obviously we never see them interact directly, but several little worldbuilding tidbits do make me ponder about certain things, like the possibility lorewise that it could've been Emet that named Zenos, and the fact that they share certain habits and potentially interests.

taco and mephone have fascinating parallels more people could explore if taco haters weren't biased cowards

[torchstelechos]

Any time I think about Loop in an actual capacity and the soul crushing torture of watching someone else go through what you did and thinking there was someone else like you, someone who could understand what you went through, only for them to beat something that held you back easily, and then they figure out what went wrong, only for you to realize its your fault. It was always your fault. You cant go back. You cant fix it. Youve lost it all, and its all your fault. LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAA-

I know ultimate sacrifice is dying in fight for what matters the most and in 100% cases it was reversed by kissing headcanon is strong, but what if your existence was erased from the universe and only I remember about you now instead, huh?

i know this has been said 473773474833 times by the kavetham/haikaveh shippers and probably even nonshippers, but i'll say it again. I finally finished the genshin summer event and did the little after quest in sumeru and.....every time kaveh is sneaking around trying not to be noticed coming out of alhaithams house it's just such a gay vibe. he's basically screaming "I can't be caught being gay in a homophobic society!" even if that's not what the game writers are *actually* saying. that's just how it comes off and they can't make it come off any other way. with hoyo's gay history, it makes me wonder if it's on purpose and all a cover-up to have a technically different reason for it so they can get away with it lmao but we will never know.

[who-the-fuck-knows-blog]

the “ya know what he did when i told him i loved him? he shot me.” scene is so fascinating to me bc its like. when did izzy realize that’s why ed shot him? or did he always sorta know, he just didn’t want to admit it to himself?

[anxiously-sidequesting]

Since we're talking about Grandfather Spider can we Girls please just take one single moment of the day to remember and think about his, "I am beyond angry with you, but I could never hate you." quote to Grandmother Raven please. Please. Please can we do that? I will become sick as fuck if someone doesn't acknowledge this with me
