edit (10/23/2024) now that the poll is over: Original version, with 10 questions, from April 2023 here
And, given that the original is from April 2023, that means I can very easily say:
No, this was not an ISAT reference!
Just because I use parentheses and 2nd person pov and love the same concepts of what a time loop can do to a person doesn't mean it's ISAT
(Yes, I like ISAT, the original poll is why I was recommended the game! But if you look at the original, you can see all the origins of the options to choose from, including what spurred me on with the moss option from the replies)
If I were going to make something for ISAT, I would never be so vague, you can simply look at my ao3 for proof of that
#egg speaks#writing#polls#my writing#egg writes#my polls#poetry#time loops#listen I want to run this again#time loop poll#<- check that tag on my blog for the original 10 option version lmao#unreality#you know I didn't think I'd get fed up with people making isat jokes about this#I thought it'd be like oh hey neat same hat#we both like the same game#but people keep going “oh this is JUST an ISAT reference”#as if it's not a genuine work of creativity I did myself. it feels a bit devaluing#“op you played isat” yes but that came after the original!!!!!#I KNOW it's not meant like that but I want people to engage in my work as its own thing. you can make jokes about similar media!!!#but this is it's own thing!!!!#I want people to like it for what it is. I want people to enjoy it outside of other media. I want it to stand on its own#I'm flattered someone said it was good enough that they think it could be narration from the game and read just as well!!!!#but like. idk. all the other medias popping up (pmmm. orv. higurashi. etc) aren't people calling it a /reference/#if I wanted it to be an ISAT reference I would have tagged it originally. I would have targeted it toward ISAT fans more intentionally.#I love fanworks but this was an ode to time loops alone. I wanted people to think. to have to CHOOSE. I wanted PARTICIPATION#time loops as a narrative and as horror and as a group activity via polls on tumblr. also s/o to the person who said 40 hr work week so tru

as much as I get why lucanis is positioned as the one needed to kill ghilan'nain as the mage killer etc, I can't help but feel like it should've been davrin
like. there's something about the dalish elf with andruil's vallaslin, a grey warden, a monster hunter, hunting down the mother of all monsters, who creates monstrosities with the blight, who was once andruil's beloved.
ghilan'nain created the halla. she still cares for the halla, despite what she's become, despite being unable to create them anymore. davrin cared for the halla under his uncle's tutelage. assan cares for and nurses a sick and dying halla. assan, who's name means arrow in elven, when andruil's weapon was a bow, who's hunting instincts give way to something more protective.
davrin was taught the way of the three trees. it was created by andruil. andruil, the goddess of the hunt, also known as the goddess of sacrifice. davrin feels like a weapon sharpened to make that final sacrifice against the blight, a tool that once drove andruil mad, and has twisted ghilan'nain into something unrecognisable. andruil, blood and force, who loved a mortal for her creations and raised her to godhood.
would ghilan'nain see andruil in him? would that offer something more to her character than just oh she's evil?
the dalish tell a legend of ghilan'nain and a hunter who bested her. maybe it was a prophecy instead.
#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age the veilgaurd spoilers#datv#davrin#ghilan'nain#andruil#like idk if im making sense. but theres something there that intrigues me#ghilan'nain is absolutely a villain but the problem with the villains in this game is that it boils down to oh theyre just evil#theres these hints with ghil of something more (the halla. andruil. the fact she might not know what she looks like)#and tying her to davrin narratively couldve allowed us to learn more of that#she doesnt have to be misunderstood or sympathetic or have a turn around and be better moment. but there has to be something more than just.#Oh theyre evil#but thats a whole different problem that ties to the treatment of the elves/the dalish#anYWAYS

Saw the sonic 3 trailer are you telling me the movie based on Sonic Adventure 2 is Not anti-military??? No anti-authority theming here?? Nothing?? The game where a kid gets gunned down? Where Shadow’s grief and hate for humanity is BECAUSE of the military?? Where Sonic runs from the cops and is consistently annoyed at their existence?
#sonic 3 spoilers#sonic 3 trailer#Sonic 3 trailer spoilers#I’m. just confused.#I don’t understand#WHERES AMY N ROUGE AS WELL bad day for women Jesus Christ#YOU COULD SO EASILY FIT THEM IN THE MOVIE THO. LIKE YOU CAN EASILY PUT THEIR NARRATIVES IN THERE TO COINCIDE WITH SONIC N SHADOW’S#the GAME DID IT. WHATS YOUR EXCUSE#we’re not gonna see Sonic get arrested. are we gonna see the fucked up prison cell of Gerald. probably not#I have Thoughts okay#I ramble

ff7 women in S.T.E.M.
#ff7#ffvii#final fantasy vii#lucrecia crescent#shera ff7#i dont know if the game explicitly declared lucrecia consented to experimentation under extreme pressure from hojo or not#but to me that's not what happened therefore she is my morally grey queen who haunts the narrative#definitely still a victim of hojo but it's more interesting to think she loved science more than her child before it was too late#not sure what other fans think pls feel free to lmkkkk#morally conflicting toxic women in stem everyone cheered

a win for tortured writers and haunted artists everywhere
#alan wake#alan wake 2#the game awards#tga#the game awards 2023#tga 2023#for real. I was so happy to see it win that first Best Narrative I could’ve screamed#to see a game go places no game— and I’m starting to think no film or tv show either— has ever gone creatively#(and execute the landing SO ENCHANTINGLY WELL)#to see a game like that receive even part of the recognition it so richly deserves… it makes my heart swell.#I’ve never felt so creatively inspired in my life. I’m so happy
