I can’t stop thinking about Loop. Imagine doing everything, anything, to get out of a traumatic situation but the price is you. Your body is gone, your name is gone, your family doesn’t recognize you, you feel like most of your memories of them are gone too anyway. Suddenly you’re denied your identity. It’s like YOU never existed… and someone else took your place. You, whose biggest fears are forgetting and being forgotten in turn. You, who’s hesitant to change and now you’re forced to. You can’t even really blame anyone else because you did get your wish, right?

It’s explained clearly in the game, but the implications of it just hit me extra hard sometimes. Siffrin is as much of a study of Loop as Loop is of Siffrin. They share(d) their fears too so mal du pays words essentially becoming the truth to Loop is just… 🪨🪨🪨🙁🙁🙁💥💥💥💥

What do you do when all you have is ripped from you, all your worst fears come true, and youre forced to just… come to terms with it?

#isat spoilers #isat loop #2hats spoilers #shaking you by the shoulders #i love siffrin and loop so much #’’wkb’’ consider: i am new and also stupid #yes ive KNOWN but i didint really GET it yk? like how horrifying losing you self is #they make me die #postgame loop makes it hit extra hard bc ppl are partially defined by their experiences #the longer siffrin and loop exist as separate the more they diverge #that must be TERRIFYING. to an extent to both of them #of course they’ll always have many similarities as they started as the same person but like #loop is just despair au siffrin #<- specifying postgame fics that explore loops identity bc canon had them fade out #which i love btw delightful angst i love everyones takes on loop #in stars and time #isat #i think genuinely in Loop’s shoes as someone who’s also hesitant to change: if I didn’t cry 24/7 #i’d be clinging into who i was and still want to be in some ways. but as i’d heal i’d probably want to be distinct #like im me and always will be me but i want what i experienced to not be a footnote. i dont want to be a mirror #’’i am who that family loved but im also someone new’’ yk? its so hard to battle with those two opposites of ’’im []’’ & ’’im not YOUR []’
