#bc this one is already a spiraling tangent bc i have no clue how to order my thoughts cohesively

Good luck on the ref sheets!! (And also do take your time on them! They can be hard)

The two main things I’m wondering is why Stanley’s eyes are yellow, and what happened to with the timekeeper? I see a lot of different takes of them so I am curious!

(Perfectly fine if you don’t know yet btw!)

thank u!! and oh boy both good questions!

so for stanley, the yellow eyes was more a stylistic choice to visualize a hc I have that the Narrator sees everything happening in the game through Stanley's eyes (like watching it through a camera, if that makes sense.) for my variations, it's been like that for as long as Stanley's been in the game and has only ever 'disconnected' a handful of times- the endings where the narrator goes completely quiet and seems to disappear entirely. This can happen either from Stanley breaking the game by doing something the narrator hadn't prepared anything for, like in the Escape Pod Ending, or Stanley entering parts of the parable that the narrator isnt supposed to be in like the Heaven Ending and the Museum Ending.

shorter version, narrator watches stanley play through the game like this, yellow is basically just a 'power on' sign. visual below if that helps!

and in regards to 432?
