Hello My Mutual Kade. i am interested in seeing the doodles. (staring directly at you intently)

thinking about isat x ii au. i wanna put taco in the time loop so bad

i probably won't elaborate on this much, this is just a thought exercise i have rattling around in my head for funsies cus i think taco and siffrin are very similar characters in some ways and i'd like to build on that idea. it is very funny to try and think of ways to adapt ii characters to isat roles + see if i can tie in melife to this whole thing as well

[darlingkisses01]

some cool ideas going on over here! i'll think i'll put my ramblings and feedback under a cut cus i get the feeling this is gonna be long (massive spoilers for the entireties of both isat and ii ahead for anyone else reading this thread. lol)

so one thing i wanna focus on in building upon my ideas is how to fit isat's plot into the premise of mephone having gotten into the fantasy genre instead of reality shows and subconsciously generating this whole fantasy world upon the island when he escaped from meeple. i REALLY wanna make this work cus "mephone gets into something other than reality shows and ii becomes something completely different" is a concept that has a lot of AU potential and i like it

i wasn't sure if i was even gonna include the change belief in this AU???? but you bring up putting mephone or the shimmers into this role and it's got me thinking. i'll sit on this some more

you bring up cobs as the king, and that's something that i've been considering, but i've also been considering mephone as the king, specifically in the context of him getting worse instead of better and clinging onto his escapism. in order to have something similar to the forgotten country, i've been considering a scenario where there was this whole story played out by the original season 1 cast from start to finish, but cobs was frustrated with the quality of this first version of "the show" and forcibly corrupts the data of everything related to the first season and factory resets the season 1 cast via melife.

with something like this, the technicalities of how the loops would even be occurring would be related to melife, and so anyone who isn't connected to melife would be unaffected by the loops. i think the favor tree wish affecting melife would work somewhat similarly to the "melife neural network" and taco/knife body swap episode concepts. the major problem i have with this setup is how the hell the party can beat cobs or mephone within separate loops. another problem is how the shimmers factor into all of this. i'll also have to sit on this some more.

ok now to character assignments. in my version of the AU taco takes siffrin's role this is something i will not budge on. i am hyperfixating on both of these characters and they are very similar characters in many ways. this is my reasoning. but i do like the idea of microphone taking siffrin's place, and i can already see some similarities in their characters and arcs, with feeling out of place within their respective teams and insecurities stemming from that. with taco as siffrin, i imagine she learns about everyone having been artificially generated and season 1 having been wiped and despairs over not having had much of a life before the journey and not being able to remember the life she did have in season 1. but then she learns a little about her having Done Some Shit in season 1 (learning this from cobs or mephone is likely) and then she's like y'know what. Y'know what. maybe it's better this way maybe it's better that i've been given this second, third, forty-seventh, umpteenth chance. "another chance, perhaps?" i know what you are. i can very easily see her having that similar struggle to siffrin of being torn between wanting to leave the loop (it gets dull and repetitive and boring and nothing can grow or change at all and i can't even catch a break) and wanting to stay in the loop (my friends are here with me. even if i mess up, i can just reset. i like knowing what happens next. i like having another chance. and i can always remember.) also the theatre motif that siffrin always uses also fits taco a lot I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i haven't considered the other characters all that much but i've briefly thought of suitcase as mirabelle, microphone as isabeau, test tube or cabby as odile, and lightbulb as bonnie. i wanted the party to mainly consist of contestants who didn't debut in season 1 just so that taco feels more isolated in her despair of not being able to remember it. lol. lmao

suitcase feels like the obvious choice for mirabelle, with her strong belief in others changing for the better, refusing to leave anyone behind, such and such. i did also consider marshmallow as mirabelle just cus i find it funny how marsh is known as the "sweet one" but is actually rather cynical, but i don't think this has as much of a solid foundation as suitcase as mirabelle.

mic as isabeau just felt automatic as a result of Tacomic Moment, but also i feel that mic's whole arc of not feeling confident in her own voice and over time coming to find and listen to herself has some parallel with isabeau trying to become the person that he feels that he needs to be. something something. maybe there's someone who may fit this role better but idk

test tube or cabby as odile "the researcher" lol lmao. i think this one speaks for itself. may have to come back to this later to form more detailed thoughts but you already know what's up

lightbulb as bonnie because she makes a wicked good cookie pizza and i can very easily see her also having insecurity of not being able to provide much for the team and others "having" to get hurt for her sake. she's very clumsy and shatters herself easily so i can see the rest of the party delegating her to Snack Duty or whatever else that would not require her to be on the front lines lest she get hurt. i don't see anyone in ii as a child, not even bot (i see the popular fan interpretation is to see them as like 13 years old, but i think they're a young adult at least) so i think a bonnie role assignment would work better on the basis of "who probably shouldn't be directly in combat" and "who would function a lot better traveling in a group than traveling alone" and such and such.

i didn't even think about euphrasie but yeah i think candle works as euphrasie

loop........... is a difficult one. i don't know how feasible it would be to work in "another version of taco" or any of the contestants into the setup i've got with melife, but if i do, i think this alternate version of taco (which i'll nickname "hardshell") would probably fall back on her season 1 persona while still being pretty sassy and rude with taco, kind of like how taco was in the taco show lololol. i've also considered mepad as loop, with mepad acting much nicer with taco than loop does with siffrin. or maybe mephone takes loop's place <- just thought of this now. if cobs is the king then mephone as loop would be interesting.......... another idea that i'll have to sit on. if bow still dies in season 1 then bow as loop is also a contender.

ok that's all the thoughts i have so far. yippee. this took a whole hour to write holy shit
