#Envy Asks

I hope everyone in the team is safe! <3

I was just wondering, what terms does Envy prefer to be called? if they were in a relationship, would they be comfortable being called "boyfriend" or "partner"? I noticed they're always referred to as sibling and not brother in the demo, so it made me curious about how he felt about gendered terms. should I call them beautiful or pretty or handsome... cuz they're all of those...

We are! 💜 Thank you so much for asking! ; v ; Work on repairing and cleaning my town is going great!

✦ What term does Envy prefer to be called while in a relationship?

Honestly, he's fine with whatever! Boyfriend works, partner works, significant other works...And you may call them handsome, pretty or beautiful and he's going to be embarrassed anyways! Beautiful will surprise them even more than the rest, tho!

As for the sibling vs brother, they don't hate being called brother at all, but they do prefer "sibling" :^)

Hey there! I’ve fairly recently got into malevolent and I wanted to say that I absolutely adore your writing. I love it so much and I think it’s my favorite of any fandom I’ve been in

Truly amazing work! I hope I get to read many more of your works!! Have a great day ❤️

Ah the joys of recently joining malevolent! I must say it has been one of the more enjoyable fandoms I've been a part of, everyone's very welcoming and the fan made content is absolutely exquisite. I'm so glad you've been enjoying my writing, thank you for reading! This is the first fandom I've been able to churn out oneshots so easily with how much inspiration there is (I can't believe I've posted over 20 fics for this fandom)

Your blorbos, tell me about them

Ok so here's something that's been eating at my brain that maybe you guys can actually help me out with. It's been causing me to rethink some things about my Stanley Parable AU.

So, I've been questioning whether or not the Narrator is aware of 432's existence. To be more specific, I have been debating whether or not he knows the specifics of 432's story in the office and their experimentation.

TSPUD spoilers below!!

-

It's obvious that he doesn't know about the Timekeeper/432 becoming the fabric of the universe.

After the epilogue, when you visit the broken achievement that's been fixed by 432/the Timekeeper, Narrator freaks out, possibly bc he doesn't like the idea of being watched by some other force that he doesn't know about and is potentially stronger than he is.

And there's the theory about TK being the one who makes the door disappear during the Skip Button ending to be able to talk to Stanley alone. During the ending, Narrator has no idea what happened to the door nor how to create one. Which is pretty odd considering that we see him change the scenery before our very eyes. So maybe, something is keeping both Stanley and him inside.

Interestingly enough, another instance of Narrator being trapped in a room and separated from Stanley or the Player are the Real Person/Not Stanley ending and the Escape Pod ending. During both endings, there are some easter eggs alluding to 432 (You can also see 432's desk repeatedly while climbing the stairs to the escape pod. And the boxes of pencil sharpeners mailed to 432 in the docking bay disappear after you watch the instructional video in the Real Person ending.)

However, here's the thing.

Employee 432 is listed in the instruction manual for the IndieBox version of the Stanley Parable as a character but has no information. The Instruction Manual is written by the Narrator, right? So, he might not know that 432 became the Timekeeper but does he know about 432 as a character within The Story? Did he omit their information on purpose? Or did they insert themselves in the manual?

(Part of me doesn't think the latter is true bc according to Davey Wreden in a livestream, the team didn't intend for 432 and the Settings Person to be the same until way later into development. And the IndieBox version of TSP came out years before TSPUD was in development. And by that logic, maybe the idea that 432 is behind some of the original endings might not be onto anything either. Not sure.)

Idk. After doing some character writing for 432 myself, it definitely seems like they're a prime candidate to go through the story that Stanley is going through. Being experimented on, finding out that they're part of a sinister plot and maybe fighting to take it down.

I already planned to explore this in my AU but like what if, legit, 432 was Narrator's rough draft of Stanley? But he couldn't stand that they actually make meaningful choices for themselves? What if, unlike Stanley, they can speak? And the voice receiver in the Real Person ending is a remnant of that earlier draft of The Story?

This paper in particular says that 432 constantly questions authority or being told to do the most basic tasks. So maybe this caused them to have brushes against the Narrator?

Another recurring theme in this game that I've noticed is that the things that the Narrator creates often end up turning against him or just displease him. Specifically, the Adventure Line™ and the Skip Button come to mind. (It's also interesting to note how the Adventure Line™ leads the player/Stanley through the Employee 432 peer review hall sometimes during the Confusion ending, another ending where the Narrator loses control over the situation but not necessarily entirely bc of Stanley or the Player.) Maybe this is the case with 432 as well? Maybe, like with Stanley, the Narrator created 432 because he was lonely but they, with the will of their own, walked out on him? So he created a more obedient character that wouldn't leave him alone?

(However again, the reference to the original Half Life Mod in the Ultra Deluxe Games (Firewatch/Rocket League) Ending confuses me cuz the door is labeled 427 and everything GAHHH-)

Anyway, I just rambled for a long while but I sincerely want to hear what you guys think about this.

Maybe I'm just going in too deep with this and maybe the endings aren't connected at all and it's just a silly little game with different silly little endings. Maybe the angle I'm seeing everything at is skewed. I just wanna get some other perspectives on this.

In any case, it doesn't really change too much of my AU, maybe, but it does decide whether or not I want a scene in which 432 calls out the Narrator for writing them a tragic backstory for the sake of "character development".

That fanfiction you rec’ed a while back? Fucking amazing. I loved every last word and if I was crazy enough, I’d print it out into a zine and pass it around like a business card claiming that these are the words of the bible. Thank you.

ngl i do not remember which one it was but Nonetheless, I am so glad to be of service <3

The highwayman changed something in my brain chemistry I retained so much of it that when I go back to reread it, it feels like the 100th time not just the 4th or 5th. The characterization was ON POINT the story was compelling and I have even got some of my non mcyt fan friends to read and enjoy it. It's in my top 10 fics of all time and I wanted to say thank you for writing it and putting it out there for us to love <3

🥺 thank you so much!! I’m so glad you’ve gotten so much joy from it, it means the world really <3

I always love to hear from re-readers, and four times is wild!! I’m so flattered!! I thought I might have been the only person to read it that many times, and it was literally made primarily for myself lol. And recommending it to friends, I love that :D I hope they liked it!

Thank you for reading and enjoying it! If you want to change it up when/if you read it again, I’d recommend @hitheeprithee ’s incredible podfic adaptation, it’s so so so good. There’s five amazing chapters out so far!

you do NOT understand how incredibly insane you being not only a malevolent fan but ALSO a fan of of Indigo DeSouza. AND THEN USING THEM TOGETHER???????? Indigo has been my favorite artist for years and you are the single other person i know of who loves her music and ARREGHHHHH RAHHHHHHHH

I LOVE INDIGO DE SOUZA!!! SO MUCH!!! I recommend her music often because I could write Essays over her lyric and instrumental choices and AUGH it has carried me through three (count 'em - THREE!) different fixations

Sleep Talking + The Moon Is No Good were on repeat when I was writing for Daiya no Ace

How I Get Myself Killed was on repeat while writing for ROTTMNT

And now The Sun Is Bad is my current anthem for Malevolent (but also the entire I Love My Mom album - What Are We Gonna Do Now and Sick In The Head are my current top 3 and a few songs from her 2021 and 2023 albums - ok basically all her music-)

I will say her most recent EP is not my cup of tea but that's just me!

Hey! First of all, I love your art and timekeeper design! And I was wondering… did you base there design off of any characters? Or did you just make it up? 🙃

Thanks so much!!!!

I love their design as well! XDD

I kinda based their design off of Chell from Portal and Reagan Ridley from Inside Job as well.

But mainly they were based on... myself, cuz they started out as a self insert XDD. I figured I'd dress them in what I'd find comfortable to wear at an office job like that (if they allowed sneakers to be worn XDD). That and whatever communicated that they were tired and didn't make a whole lot of effort getting ready to come in that day.

But yeah!! I'm really glad people like them! I was worried for a while that they didn't really fit the character lineup but nah, they seem to really blend in well with the cast!

Hey, so it's been a goal of mine to bind a fanfic into a book, and me and my friend were thinking of doing that with The Highwayman since we both really love it. But, as it's your fic and therefore your intellectual property, I wanted to ask if you'd be okay with that first?

Absolutely you can! As long as you credit me (of course) I’m totally fine with it :D

Please send a picture of the final product my way, I always love seeing things like that!
