i'm awake! let's id!
1. Hi can I ask for some comfort from the narrator who's s/o I'd a recovering alcoholic. If this prompt makes you uncomfortable feel free to ignore. I just broke my six months sober last night.
2. what would that narrator do if the reader started learning how to play the guitar so thry could play together one day?? i used to play myself and somebody has been making me want to pick it up again- anyways, have a nice day, and I hope college goes well for you!! /gen
3. If asks are open and you're going to stop TSP things might as well get mine in before I can't.
The narrator supporting a autistic player who has struggles with paying attention and doing simple tasks like cooking or cleaning
4. Alright hi! I'd like to ask for a reader that really likes poetry and leaves little poems through out the Narrators office or sm. (Romantic or not)
I may have had a dream about this, and wanted you to write about it. (I did, and I really appreciate your work)
Thank you soup! I will continue to read everything your work, like a bread bowl
5. maybe narrator (romantic) with a reader who accidentally ignores him? like maybe gets too busy with a show or a different (open world /j) game? thankyou so much!!
6. ...Hey...Hey....
Imagine dragons - Love of mine
The lyrics.
Narrator.
Him!!!
7. Hi! Can I request a reader (who takes the place of Stanley) who has a panic attack, maybe due to being unable to leave the same cycle of the parable?
8. How about reader is a streamer (popular or small you can choose) playing stanley parable and narrator finds out they are actively streaming his game
9. Hi, would I be able to request platonic narrator with a reader who has chronic migraines? If not that's totally cool :)
10. Had a prompt idea, maybe parental narrator with a reader who sneaks out a lot? [ Like they sneak out while narrator is writing his stories to like explore or something ]
11. soup soup soup soup
maybemaybemaybe Narrator x Secret Admirer Reader?
Narrator falls in love with his protagonist (aka Reader) but he doesn't think they like him back. At the same time, he begins getting anonymous messages from someone talking about how much they love him and his game. He's determined to find out who it is, before finding out its the Reader when he sees them typing out another adoring message to him from the same email as his secret admirer.
Secret admirer tropes my beloved<333
12. he kinda is)! Please consider: I love interpretations of the Narrator where he's alone in a recording booth, watching over the whole map of The Stanley Parable. It paints him in a position of both utter power and over-whelming loneliness-to be the god of your creation, and yet completely isolated from what you've made, floating in a void separated from your world. Imagine a Reader that, to the Narrator, seems hellbent on absolutely ruining his story. They spend hours poking around rooms, wandering around the wrong paths, bumping up against random office corners over and over and over-anything except following his directions. It's infuriating. It's disheartening. But one day, their pointless act of trying to fit a leg into the vending machine clips them right through the floor. They're outside the map-even worse, the Narrator has lost track of them. He panics, of course without a protagonist, even one as terrible as Reader, there is no story. Without a story, what is he? Does he even exist? He's jsut about to reset the game as a last ditch attempt to fix things-when a knock comes from the door he's never been able to open. (Feel free to continue, or don't! I really just wanted to share the love for him with you haha)
13. If you're still taking requests, maybe Narrator x Artist reader? Like the reader is a similar entity to Narrator, except they're tasking with making the visuals for his story. Reader starts getting a bit bored and starts making the visuals goofier in an attempt to make Narrator laugh. And all though he tries to remain serious at the start, he cracks and the reader compliments him on his laugh.
14. what would the dynamic be between the narrator and a multilingual s/o? like they'll drop some random words in their other languages if english can't convey the full scope of their intention, or if the narrator speaks the same languages they do they switch between tongues a lot
15. How would the narrator treat an autistic ?reader ?player with a service dog? (and how would he treat the service dog as well)
16. Hola sopa, just a measly request! 🥣 (I have total TSP brainrot (don't we all) and I'm not very creative, but I love your writing style and was wondering if you could work your magic to make something with this prompt.) (Did I just use parentheses within parentheses? >:) Yes I did. #adhd)
A lot of push-and-pull between the reader and the narrator, where the reader is being willfully defiant because they want to see if he'll push back. (pushing buttons, if you will...okay, I'll see my self out now); the narrator is intrigued by this, and maybe he's in on the game they're playing (totally) but decides to do something about it. The reader wants to be so brazen? So rebellious? Well, then, they'll get what's coming to them!
Have fun! Lol.
17. oh yeah, about that defiance prompt...feel free to make it a lil spicy..? if you want? no pressure obviously, because this is your blog and I don't want to overstep any boundaries with requests or anything, but if you want to throw some of that in there, then by all means, go stupid and go crazy. stoke the fire, feed the flames!! (or don't, totally up to you, lol!)
18. Dunno if requests are open but maybe narrator with a reader who draws a lot and likes to infodump about the drawings to narrator [ romantic reader plz :> [
19. How about a plutonic reader finding one of the narrators first stories?
20. may i request the narrator comforting a reader experiencing a severe pain flareup? [preferably romantic, but anything works ^__^]
21. we've had weighted blanket narry, but what about plushy narry? something soft mc can carry around and hug for comfort <3
22. ermmm narrator with a reader s/o who uses mobility aides? :-)
23. Narrator with a very sweet spouse reader? (Romantic)
They're both domestic to each other, it's so sweet-
They're always there for each other, supporting the other, giving them comfort, and all that lovey dovey stuff
I wanna give this man all of my loving affection cause damn, he deserves it
24. Hi, first time doing this. Hope I don't mess up.
Can you do the narrator with a reader that has anxiety that causes them to hurt themselves and/or shut down pls? Platonic and if its not to much the reader feel guilty after.
Pd: sorry for my bad english
END ID!
again, i tried my best to be probably way too accurate to the original asks and if i did something incorrectly, i apologize.

sorry yalls, i got crazy sick. lemme id these while i dont have a headache
1. reader (platonic) with a narrator that's become real but isn't human in the slightest? Like no amount of shaving or wearing a coat could make this man able to walk down the aisle of a Macy's? Tall , small, it's up to you.
2. The narrator and the reader challenge each other to a 'try not to laugh' competition to see who can make the other laugh first.
3. The narrator with the reader who ended up in the game by accident and stayed there. In contrast, a few years later, someone unexpectedly fires up the game (for example, reader's sibling) (please be romantic)
4. hello soup! I'd like to request a romantic hc where the reader bakes often but doesn't do it very well (they're more of a fuck around and find out kinda person when it comes to baking)
5. Can you write the Narrator with a reader who have similar opinions to him regarding Open world games? I have mixed feelings about pokemon Scarlet and Violet, on one hand it looks really fun, on the other hand I know I would DEFINITELY get distracted by how much I can do in the game.(Curse my Autism for making it easy for me to lose focus -.-) Platonic, please
6. okay so this might be a bit suggestive but hope its alright!!
the narrator finding out the reader had a "spicy" dream about him
7. What about the Narrator with a Reader that's actually really excited to go off the path and find new places in the office? I like to think he'd be confused, but roll with it since this new person is willing to expand the story just like he is. It's a neat concept to play around with!!
8. Had an idea, ya know the one where reader finds a kitten? Well what about narrator with a reader who just brings in any stray cat they find. Kitten? Adult? It doesn't matter, if reader finds it they're bringing it with them.
9. hello!!!! may i please get a romantic Narrator reacting to you hiding something from him but it just turns out you were setting up a super romantic place to confess you love him with the help of stanely to distract him?
10. I just want to preference by saying that you don't have to write this one if you don't do crossover stuff and just make it into a more "what you think would happen" post but if you DO want to write this prompt (It can be Platonic or romantic):
The Narrator reacting to the player/reader having other games with sentient narrators (I'm talking like the dudes from the "Dude Stop" games or "There Is no Game") I can image our narrator being jelly 100%
11. The Reader gets flustered by seeing the Narrator shirtless for the first time, but soon after, the Reader becomes flirty and compliments the Narrator. Maybe with some physical affection sprinkled in??
12. I thought this would be funny because its basically just me-
Narrator x Reader who hates loud noise, but then puts on headphones and listens to music at full blast? Like, other people can hear it and theyre still trying to turn it up when its already at the highest point lmao
13. The Narrator and the Reader swap roles. The Reader narrates the story. The Narrator follows or disrupts the story. [Romantic or Platonic]
14. How about the Narrator asking if reader would love him if he were a worm?
[END ID]
again, i did my best to be accurate to the spelling and spacing of the original asks, so if anything is off, i apologize.

[going to id these real quick for yalls!
1. (your father narrator brings me so much joy, thank you so much!!)
could you write narrator and reader that is his newly adopted cat? the whole getting used to a new place and people, getting to co-exist thing?
(sorry if it's oddly specific or weird, have a good day/night)
2. could you write a reader who is also a narrator from a different game? feel free to bend the prompt.
3. hi, "reader who is also a narrator" anon again. to add on, mind writing it in both romantic and platonic? thanks in advance!
4. Heyooo!! Can i just start by saying you are my favorite narrator x reader blog <3
Ok request: ik its random and stuff but what if reader could defy the rules of logic?? Like the one that's been on my mind is with the Adventure Line (TM) where when they follow it, they follow it EXACTLY. And i mean like walking on the walls and ceilings JUST to follow the line. Or with the Jim button, when Narrator puts itaway the reader is somehow able to clip their hand through the floor to keep pressing it?
5. hi!! im not very good at explaining things but im gonna try my best. so i wanna make a request for the narrator falling in love with the reader whos from a different game (romantic) :))
like the narrator gets bored one day and starts looking through game files on the computer that the stanley parable is on. while looking through random game files, he finds the readers sprite and finds them very attractive! then what he does from there is up to you :D
thank you!!
6. I always liked the idea of a reader who is in the parable with stanley and is bros with him, so could you do a reader who doesnt talk so stanley and the narrator assume they cant and then one day they say stanleys name to get his attention and he and narry are like ????? did reader just???? could they do that the whole time??? could be platonic or romantic, thank you :]
7. Apologies if writing narrator as fully villainous isn't something you want to do, but otherwise, here's a prompt about the narrator going full GLaDOS as his obsessive need to control the player reaches dangerous proportions. After the player has run through every ending except the one he wants to tell one too many times, in his anger he draws the player into the game where his narration exerts full control over them like they're nothing but a puppet on strings. At first the player tries to fight his control with what little free will they have left before eventually giving in and surrendering to the narrator's whims. If you reeeally want to make it tragic, you could have the player be someone who genuinely enjoyed as a character and not someone who gets a kick out of frustrating him. A nice 'he loved big brother' moment could be the player thinking in their final moments before surrendering, 'at least i get to listen to his voice for the rest of eternity' only to realize seconds later that they are only thinking that because he commanded them to.
8. oh!! ive had this idea on the backburner of my mind for weeks but i dont write well enough to flesh it out. what about a reader that, once they know the words, likes to speak along with the narrator (when he's on script) as a way of expressing how much they like the game? i realized while replaying portal 2 that when i get very excited over a game i tend to try and say exactly what my favourite character is saying. i think narrator could have some interesting reactions to this.
9. heyo! i just wanted to say first off how much i love your work! i've been reading it all day ahdgagd and it just gives me so much serotonin fr thank you so much! anyway...i had a really cute dream recently where i was in the stanely parable and everyday before doing the story i would go take care of this plant, and the narrator just didn't have the heart to tell me that watering the plant doesn't matter cause it just resets and will always be healthy (practically a fake plant) anyway ikd if you could do something with that idea...regardless if you can or not it was just a cute snippet from a dream i had and i wanted to share it lol. (also sorry i'm new to tumblr so i haven't really figured out how this stuff works...i apologize if i did something wrong) -🔥
10. Could we get Narrator meeting a ghost that haunts an old dilapidated office?
11. Thought of an interesting idea, what if romantic reader actually wanted a child? [ like maybe narrator would see a drawing reader made of a "fanchild" and make the one in the drawing from code or something similar to however he made the clones in some of the other posts ]
12. Narrator with a chaotic reader! ( Reader basically does unexpected stuff like just randomly going on top of high places, just coming back to wheever they live like "HEY SO I STOLE A STEERING WHEEL" ext. )
13. Idk how to write this prompt fot this narrator x reader uhhh it can be just suggestive or fluffy but uh the narrator with a reader who likes take a lot of showers/baths (romantic- omg this is so embarrassing-)
14. Hey! Had this stuck in my head for a bit but what if Reader got stuck in the game and they've been there for a while and the Narrator, who likes them because they've literally only followed his story, thinks they cant talk because they haven't said anything, but really Reader just doesnt want to say something wrong because they're scared that the Narrator will be upset. Theyve seen the playthroughs, they no what he can do and what he has done. At somepoint though thy accidentally say something and now they have to explain why they haven't been talking.
Hope this wasn't too detailed lol, you can change some if you need!!
15. How about a reader who collects plushies, as in almost half of their room is filled with plushies and narrator extremely underestimates the amount.
16. reader calling narrator handsome in another language. OR THE READER SINGING A SONG FROM THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE BROOO PLSS ROMANTIC)
17. hey soup!!!! can you write something about reader that VERY likes bugs and narrator that scared of them? :]
18. I love your writing! I was wondering if you had any headcannons for the narrator walking in on the reader shirtless?
Hope this ask is alright! <3
19. *gives soup* Hello, can I ask for a Narrator with a Polish reader who swears a lot in his native language? If you don't mind of course!
20. What about a parable role swap with the narrator and the reader? Like one day the reader is in narrator's spot, like those stanley and the narrator role swaps but instead it's the reader if that makes sense!! Both romantic and platonic is fine!
21. The narrator with a rebellious, stubborn, silly reader who "observes" the narrator trying to process what kind of idiot he's in love with. (he realized his feelings and is emotionally in shambles)
22. narrator trying to find a ticklish spot on reader and narrator almost gives up but then narrator accidentally finds their tickle spot? (Romantic pls)
23. Heyy! :) I was curious if I could request maybe narrator reacting to tattoo? It could be platonic or romantic, just thought this would be cool!! Love your posts <3
24. Hope this isn't TOO weird of a prompt (Platonic or romantic) but uhh: The Narrrator with a reader with a particular taste in noise music, and experimental music. And like... The narrator not MINDING or judging them about the songs they listen to, but just being baffled by the songs themselves like: "This is just noise!" "It's noise that's good!"
25. Narrator with a reader who is very tall, like I imagine in the narrator's human form, his height only reaches up to their waist.
26. Could you do head cannons for a reader who was originally going to be the protagonist but was replaced by Stanley. And maybe their model was still in the files and became sentient somehow, maybe they run around the office looking for vending machines (for food/drinks) and just messing with Stanley and the narrator. And maybe they have broken textures on their model (for example the purple and black checkered tiles) and when the narrator sees them he goes "OI! STANELY STOP THEM-"
(sorry if this is a lot lmao)
27. How about reader using a freecam mod to go out of bounds and finds narrator's home that he made for himself and put somewhere out of bounds
(You can decide if it's platonic or romantic and stuff like if he's regularly in a physical form there or just occasionally, I just think narrator talking about his home while possibly being a bit uneasy about the fact reader found it)
[end id]
i tried my best to put everything in EXACTLY how it was spelled in the images, but if i'm off, i apologize. i hope this helps!
Unused prompts pt. 1
Ok, here we go. This is the first batch of unused prompts. I know I won't have to worry about it with this community, but I'm expecting you guys to play nice. It takes a lot of courage to send in a request, so please don't be mean to the people who sent them in if you dislike the prompt. Just move on. I'll put the tag 'unused prompts' so that people can find this and other related posts later. Content under the cut.
Have fun, and only write what you want to. There's no pressure to answer any of these. Like I said, I'm not looking to hand the mantle off to anyone. But if something here sparks your interest, then by all means, write.

Rest (out of context comfort)
(When you try and write headcanons and then something else pops out. OOPSIE DOOPSIE!
Quick note. The problems presented in this fic are no one's fault. I have several issues due to my upbringing that I'm working on fixing. I don't want anyone to feel guilty for participating in what this blog does. Most days are fine, but sometimes I am more nerves than man. This is just a ventish hurt/comfort fic, not directed at anyone in particular. It's a long one, you may wish to open it in a new tab. Okay have fun!)
(Also I'll be taking tomorrow off, for personal reasons.)
“You need to rest, writer.”
I glared at him.
“This isn’t the time for stubbornness. You’ve been packing boxes for the move all day. You injured your hand because you wouldn’t stop writing. And your thoughts- your head is in such a scramble I can’t make anything out.”
I was not in the mood to hear this. I was not in the mood for gentleness, or the soft call out of someone who cared.
“Stay out of it. This isn’t your problem, it’s mine. Just- leave me alone.”
“It very much is my problem. Do you really think any of us want to stand by while someone we- when someone refuses to be kind to themselves?”
I felt my anger towards him grow. Fury boiled through me. I don’t even know why I was so upset, I just was.
“You’re a fiction. A concept.” I hissed. “You don’t belong in this world, and you have no idea what you’re talking about. Stay in your own goddamn lane.”
His voice was sharp. “Writer. Now, I can’t pretend to know what this is all about, but I do know that I won’t stand idly by and let you do this to yourself. Do you hear me? I will step in, in any way I see fit. That was part of the agreement we made. You write my words, I-”
“This is bullshit! Our agreement is over in two weeks! Why are you still here? What possible reason could you have to still stick around- when-” My breath hitched. “It’s going to end. Everything, I-”
I leaned against a box, exhausted. Sweat poured down my face, having spent most of the afternoon lifting heavy things.
“It’s all going to end. Why are you still trying to help me?”
His voice was soft. “Because you asked me to. Your request was so earnest, so polite- In the beginning- A few months ago, you wanted someone to step in. Someone who could talk to you when everyone else couldn’t, in the privacy of your own mind. We drafted that first script together, remember? It was glorious, reader-”
“I can’t keep writing for you past the deadline. I just- I can’t. The strain is so much, to be producing for others. It hurts.”
He looked at me as if I was missing something obvious. “Then write for yourself.”
“It’s not that simple! This is my job, to produce content for others. It’s why I exist, it’s what I mean to this world.”
“That’s a lie you’ve been told by people who were meant to be kinder to you. And for as many times as you ask, I’ll be here to reassure you-”
“I’m not asking! You just appeared, like you always do-”
“-Some part of you is crying out for help. This is what comfort characters do, we respond to the pain of the people who love us so dearly.”
I snarled and paced. “Even now, even now, while I’m writing to self-soothe because I can’t comfortably ask anyone to share the burden, I’m wondering if the audience will like this. I’m wondering if this will break the twenty notes mark. I am agonizing over word choice and description. I am broken, narrator. I am a machine that produces, and nothing more. You can’t fix me, no one can.”
He lurched forward, and held me tightly. I snarled again, and struggled, trying to shove him away. I pounded my fists weakly against him, trying to push back against someone I cared so much about. He took every hit, and I hated and loved him for it in equal measure.
“Listen to me. You are not broken. You have been terribly hurt, but it’s not the same thing at all. You don’t have to carry the burden alone anymore. Your friends are here for you, and when they can’t be, I will stand in their stead.”
“Shut up.”
“I mean every word of it. You are so- Completely and utterly loved. We love you because of who you are, not what you can do for us. We always did.”
“Shut up!”
“No. I will not. You need to hear this tonight, writer. I’m going to hold you close and tell you as many times as it takes.”
“Please- You can’t- I won’t let you.” My strength was starting to fail, and I leaned against him more and more. “You can’t- You can’t-”
“I can. You must be so tired. You don’t have to fight anymore. Let me carry you, until you’re ready to stand on your own again. You’ve done similarly with other characters in the past. It’s okay to ask us for help. The burden of being alive in your reality is so much-”
He leaned back a little, so I could see his face. “Did you really think we cared for you so little? Oh, writer… strong is the bond between a character and their fans. Didn't you know? You give us life, meaning… It’s only fair to return the favor and lend a hand. We would much rather you be alive and cling to us than not. It’s okay to need us, there’s nothing wrong with it at all.”
He wiped my tears away. I hadn’t even noticed I’d been shedding them.
“I’m deeply grateful to the other characters who helped you stay alive long enough to make it here. Their turn is over, and now the guardianship is mine. I will not fail you.”
“What am I going to do?” I asked. “I don’t want to give you up, but I've forgotten how to write for myself. I don’t know where to go after the end date.”
“...There are no easy answers, I’m afraid. I suggest that you take a break, a few weeks at the minimum. Then, when you’re ready, I’ll be there as your narrative guide. Honestly, I can wait. I’m sure there’s a technique to it, we just have to try and find out what it is.”
“And if I never write for you again?”
He smiled. “Really now, what do you think the chances of that are?”
I looked away, clearing my throat. “Well- you know- uh-” I shuffled my feet to ward off the excess energy.
“I meant it when I said- though I don’t remember exactly when- I’ll be here for as long as you need. My dedication to the story, to Stanley, is unwavering. It will be the same with you.”
“I don’t want to post what I write anymore, after that date.”
“That’s perfectly alright, and honestly, it might be a decent start. You’ve brought joy to others, and soon it will be time to give yourself the same. You deserve it.”
“I wish I could believe you.”
“You will, in time.”
“I’m tired.”
“Rest, dearheart.”
“...Fine. But I won’t enjoy it!” It was the last minor protest of a stubborn person.
“Oh, I intend on making you enjoy it. My narrative powers are too great for there to be any other outcome. Now…”
He cleared his throat.
“Writer then proceeded to take a shower to get the sweat off, ate a late dinner, watched an episode of his favorite television show, and went to bed after having some chamomile tea.”
I spluttered for a bit, but the grin was overtaking my face. I was caught between snarking at him and thanking him sincerely.
“You’re the best.” I said, followed by, “How dare you.”
He hummed a pleasant note. “I know I’m the best. And I dare quite easily. This is your health we’re talking about, after all. Now- Stop writing already and get to it!”
The writer snorted and wrenched himself away from his keyboard.

hello hello! do you mind writing the narrator with a reader who has slight hearing issues? maybe they have trouble hearing the narrator's instructions, and accidentally disobey his story?
Narrator and a reader with hearing problems
The narrator snarks, and snarks, and snarks. You don’t seem to be capable of obeying his story at all. He’s not getting much in the way of visual responses either. You frown a lot, and shake your head as if trying to loosen something, occasionally pulling and tugging at your ears.
Eventually, he snaps. You haven’t done a correct run in more than fifty resets. “Why is this so hard for you to do?!” He yells. You jump, and look around. “What was that?” The narrator is incensed. “It’s me, you dolt! Your narrator! I’ve been trying to guide you through this story, can’t you tell?”
“I’m sorry, could you speak up? I can’t- I’m a bit hard of hearing, sorry.”
The narrator’s anger turns to ash. Was this the problem? Had his ranting and raving not been reaching you, because you had a disability of some kind? He lets out a few soft swears. Not that he has to keep himself quiet, if your hearing is as bad as he thinks it is.
He starts creating accommodations for you. He bumps up the volume of his mic so you have an easier time hearing him.
He creates a system of words floating in front of you when he speaks, a kind of subtitle that moves depending on where you’re looking. Similar to eye floaters, they jump around so they’re always in your sight.
Now that he knows you’re not doing it intentionally, he’s a lot kinder about it. He doesn’t hold it against you if you’ve been disobedient, you may not be doing it on purpose.
Something inside of him eases. His heart feels lighter, now knowing you weren’t being antagonistic. He would never admit it out loud, or even think it on a conscious level, but he feels less hurt now. It’s really hard to put work out there, and it’s even harder to watch it be rejected again and again. He’s a lot more chill now that he’s learned about your situation.
#oleahd's reblogs#oh.#im not hard of hearing or disabled but i have unbelievably strong auditory processing disability (i say im not disabled because it comes#with the adhd/asd)#and a lot of the time i struggle with not being able to hear people or hear them properly#but huh. i did not realize that coming from the narrator the kindness and levels of understanding i need towards it would hit so different#i like that he was annoyed before he understood the issue. thats realistic#too often i see people jump straight to [he's perfect and would never get angry at you!! he understands from the jump!!]#but like over fifty playthroughs without a proper go at it? and not realizing that reader has hearing issues?#yeah i imagine that narrator would be incensed. i would too#which is hypocritical of me but still.#sometimes even when people get angry at me and their voices get louder i still cant understand them#because in the heat of the moment words tend to get sloshed together and arent very clear#and that makes me feel. bad#so i very much like the idea of the floating subtitles#that way even if narrator's mic volumes are up louder and reader can't see his face/body language for clues it's still clear#what he's saying#actually this means reader would ALWAYS be able to tell EXACTLY what's being said.#the tugging at our ears is also very. important to me#i personally always pick at the outer inside of my ear because it always feels as though im somehow clogged up#sometimes i accidently make myself bleed that way too#i dont know. i have a lot of favourites from soup but even though this is a short one i really liked this.#im not sure why this one hit me so hard#jeez. im going to be saving the link to this one for a rainy day. this is fantastic.#im very sorry for these long tags
