i was reading the isat script project for fun (like a normal person does) and ive noticed.. this (i am going insane)

(somebody probably pointed this out before but i found this too funny not to post)

[beneathsilverstars]

i’ve seen plenty of alt-looper AUs where sapfrin’s wish resulted in someone else looping, assisted by starry loop. and i’ve seen plenty where isatfrin or one of their party members made some kind of wish that resulted in additional people remembering the loops.

but

how about an au where sapfrin’s wish resulted in someone else looping, while sapfrin remained in the role of siffrin? either now there’s two loopers in the party, or, the ability to remember new loops is what transferred, so siffrin wakes up every time with their last memory being the wish for help.

this siffrin is just so ground down and not siffrin anymore. but without becoming loop, they’d keep trying to act the part, which is easy enough when they’ve got a script, but… the more the other looper switches things up, the more siffrin will struggle. the other looper will want to help them, but what can even be done when they're still stuck in the loops??

if siffrin still remembers new loops, then they have to keep going through the fucking house even after they reached their breaking point. but at least there’s hope now? but is there really? and now, for the first time in years, they have to deal with someone else being able to remember their actions, and this person knows about the time loops. siffrin definitely isn’t going to be jumping to confide in them, despite how desperately they need the help — will they even tell them that they’d been looping for ages already?? even if they try not to, it’ll eventually become obvious something is going on.

or if siffrin doesn’t remember new loops anymore… how would the new looper handle it? how many times do they explain that they’re looping now instead before they stop bothering with it? or does not explaining means siffrin freaks out too much at the looper abandoning the script entirely for no apparent reason? but there’s no way they won’t freak out upon learning that they’ve just doomed someone else to live out this hell in their stead, that’s quite the news to have to break every single time. perhaps there’s an in-between that would work?? lying about what’s changed, or following the script until they suddenly deviate, then immediately loop back once done with the deviation? they have all the time they need to workshop it, at least.

either way, this siffrin is probably gonna be even less help than loop was. at least loop got to chill out at the favor tree and think — siffrin doesn't have that luxury. and while the new looper will be bringing in a fresh perspective, they simply don't know the things one needs to know about siffrin in order to figure out these siffrin-based loops. and, at this point, siffrin might not anymore either! it's been years since they made their wish. that doesn't make it unsolvable, especially since it's possible to get out by pure chance. but it'll be hard, especially since siffrin has even more intense reactions than isatfrin, as evidenced by them not even making it to euphrasie before looping back.

what a fun little bad time for everyone ^^

me: i'm gonna go ahead and try to get the perfect ending before going for the true ending so i can see everything

me: *immediately fucks it up and ends up on the true ending route*

[felikatze]

i've had these thoughts before with sasasap, but now having played isat for basically 5 hours straight i am once again astounded by how just. perfect. siffrin's personality is to allow the game's premise, and it starts with his damn dnd class.

siffrin isn't the hero, they're the rogue. this alone allows them several personality trappings that help the story structure

their position as rogue means it's only natural for them to investigate the traps first - making him most likely to die from them in stupid ways.

he's very quiet and rarely speaks up, which means it's much less noticable when he's not listening, explaining how everyone proceeds as normal even when using the "zone out" function - he just didn't speak up in conversation in the first place

people are less likely to notice siffrin behaving weirdly because they struggle to socialize. odd mannerisms get waved off as "siffrin being siffrin"

siffrin has an intense desire to make their friends happy, which gives them incentive to change and keep loops the same - he fine tunes his deliveries for the best results, and then sticks by the successful script every loop thereafter.

(it's also just very cute how siffrin will make the pun every single time and nothing can stop them)

(honestly wanting to make others happy is for sure why he has the funnyguy persona in the first place)

just!! they're a combination of the silent loner rogue AND the laidback funnyguy assassin, baked into one by a connecting thread of social awkwardness. you can just TELL siffrin isn't used to having company, to having friends, and it's so cleae how much he loves the party just from how hard he tries.

.....also their struggle to talk and interact with others "properly" reminds me a lot of myself.... when siffrin says they just like to listen to everybody talk, without contributing because they have nothing to say... just being there and being included....

yeah dude i get it

ISAT INFORMATION (a wiki)

hey! i'm gold (@goldstargloww, they/vae/it+), and i've decided to make a wiki for technical information related to in stars and time (and SASASAP)

this is the tumblr blog for that! if you have any questions or requests or just wanna say something, this is where you can do it :>

the site is at isatinformation.neocities.org, and its code is open source on github over at goldstargloww/isat-information (feel free to contribute!)

also go check out @isat-script-project. 1. it's really cool 2. i also work on it 3. convinced me to make a site for this

ISAT X BET AU-ish

I've been thinking about this au sm but I'm also not adept at fleshing it out more, so here's so basic bullet point I thought of and I'm letting it go into the aether for anyone to play with

So it starts with sasasap siffrin, and the wish that got him into the Loop situation, the 'I just want out!' part of the Wish has him exit the world onto an actual stage.

He's no longer part of the script, forgotten by the world and more importantly his friends, its like he never existed

Safe to say, siffrin had a minor breakdown after that realization

Realizing he had influence over how this story could go, siffrin opted to make the story reach a happy ending for their friends

But no matter how many tries or different solutions, every loop was a Bad End

After a really long time, at which point siffrin forgot how they even looked, they thought 'hey doesn't a theater have multiple stages', and went to explore

And there was! Intead of 'all the worlds a stage' its 'all the worlds the theater'

Entering another stage room, sasasap siffrin finds isat sifrin desperately trying to go back into the world, go back to his friends, his family

Introducing themselves as Loop, they try to console and give tips on how to influence the world to try and give the isat crew a happy end (kinda knowing siffrin would fail, and hoping to have someone else to wallow in misery with)

Sadly thats as much as I could think of before hitting a block 😩😩

But please! If you have more ideas or improvements l feel free to run with this au! Just tag me bc I would love nothing more than to see stuff for it <33

torn between two perspectives

I should assume Siffrin took at least a few tries to beat the King. ISAT's story flows a little better that way, and it's clearly written with that assumption - there's a line at the start of Act 3 about habit taking over when he reminds Mirabelle of the CARROT meeting, which doesn't make any sense if Siffrin never had to loop back to Dormont between the secret library and the King fight - it's the first time he's ever said that in that location!

and yet. what if. Siffrin beat the King in one try immediately after getting Mira's shield. it really isn't a super difficult fight. I have fun treating my playthrough as my 'personal canon' and I pulled it off with a comfortable margin of victory. and most importantly, Loop being so pissed about it in twohats is so funny in a really horrible black comedy way. (the description of the King killing Mirabelle in the Perfect Ending of SASASAP is like. actually genuinely really unsettling and awful. don't like thinking about it. great writing.) and the fact that it makes no sense for the King to be such a pushover in ISAT compared to SASASAP - I've seen people try to "no prize" this and I don't find any of their explanations to be convincing or compelling - just makes it even funnier tbh

I should probably actually play SASASAP at some point... actually, rereading the SASASAP King fights that are documented in the script project, is it that Siffrin 1 didn't figure out how to help Mirabelle get her shield during the events of that game? It doesn't sound like Mirabelle is ever able to block the King's instakill attack, except maybe in True Ending...? Where she could have gotten it as an emotional clarity thing. Okay, that would actually make more sense, if the difference were Siffrin and the party rather than the King. Siffrin getting stuck in a "maybe I can just keep getting strong enough to resist that attack...?" rut long enough to take a ton of psychic damage, unless he has the option to get an outside perspective, reconsiders his approach, and has a reason to check Dormont again.

Sasasap bathroom monologues from yours truly! The classics! The ogs! Have you ever tried closing your ears?

[isat-script-project]

START AGAIN orange poem!!! I would've updated earlier this week but you must understand that stp pristine cut happened to me.

[isat-script-project]

Listen i know anon asked for king fight first but i did this one earlier because I needed it for the fic i was writing.

SASASAP Last Room / Snack break! It's actually called "Rest room" in the files but. I'm not calling it that. thank you.

[beneathsilverstars]

been thinking about the differences between SASASAP and ISAT lately. because looking just at ISAT and the two hats ending, you'd think loop went through the exact same house as our siffrin, but looking at SASASAP, it's different. it's mixed up. it's obviously a condensed prototype.

but. that doesn't have to mean it's a different universe entirely.

maybe that's just what happens after a thousand loops.

the house warped in act 5. siffrin lost their shit and the house got changed and corrupted, far past its baseline king uncanniness. so it wouldn't be too out-of-the-question for it to be able to warp in more subtle ways as well, due to a more subtle breakdown.

like a jpeg uploaded and downloaded a thousand times, siffrin changed, and the loops changed. over a thousand loops of efficiency, the house got more efficient. rooms combining. items moving. data compressing. and of course, run in a changed house, the script changed as well. it did so slowly, one bit at a time, over a thousand loops of zoned-out half-listening – and by the time siffrin would have noticed each difference, they were already used to it. (and in the moments that they did look at a room that was less familiar than it should be and realize that they had no idea where to find the key, well. that's just classic siffrin, isn't it.)

through sheer repetition, siffrin was corrupted, and the loops and the house along with them. all purpose lost, all signals distorted, until finally they couldn't recognize the meaning in any of it. it was all noise and despair.

so they made a wish. and the loop restarted. not just a reboot, but something more complete.

the data was backed up onto a star – a guide, a warning, a reference – and the loops were factory reset. and for the first time in a thousand loops, siffrin woke up to a clear mind and the crisp sound of birdsong.

taking a break from sasasap scripts to work on isaquest and i am once again stopped by the phenomenon of "i nearly started crying as i reread this game's text" except this time i also nearly started laughing hysterically because there's also one optional interaction where siffrin just kind of stares at isabeau's arms and he just goes "......huh" like the sudden realization siffrin thinks he's buff is gonna make both of them explode

[isat-script-project]

i know i tag sasasap scripts with in stars and time for visibility purposes, but yall dont need to tag it as isat spoilers. they're not. they're sasasap spoilers. it's not isat yall

[felikatze]

(head in hands) i think before i finish this script page i fr just need to upload and/or rename all the sasasap event artwork on the isatwiki fellas WHAT is going on here. why are half the event artworks missing. why is this so arbitrary.
