#tagging Siffrin but know that both of these are loop

[oobbbear]

loop kill loop

[nidbaesenpai]

More ISAT doodles, i'm currently doing a play through with friends right now and finished act 2 a bit ago. I'm not sure what counts as spoilers since the game is still relatively new and gaining popularity so i'll tag for each act.

[lucabyte]

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

DAY 75: onehat

[blackholedjester]

I had a realization while goin back thru quests

TECHNICAL SPOILERS FOR ACT 3 UP AHEAD! YES IT'S TECHNICAL, BUT I HAVE MOOTS 'N FRIENDS WHO WANNA EXPERIENCE IT FOR THEMSELVES, SO THIS IS YOUR WARNING!!

anyways i did not feel like whipping out my art program for this <3

not important to the story, i just thought it was funny that my spacebar is my technical disassociate button

[codacheetah]

I think it's really funny when ppl tag my art as isat spoilers but like unsure about it. Such is the Hell of Loop

[coern]

earlier when I said I was normal now while playing isat that was a lie I'm miserable trying to fall asleep. wtf. I'm on some type of shit. in this moment you are loved. friendship is magic and solves anything type of thoughts I have here

[mikodrawnnarratives]

I've seen a few fics toss around the idea of Siffrin becoming a sadness in some way and i really wanted to draw out my own take on what they'd look like

I think it'd be super interesting if they resembled the broken doll u can find so i tried to make them look like a doll as much as possible. Y'know how some dolls will have eyes that can close based on how you hold em? yeah thats how their eyes work here. I also included some solar system imagery to keep some ovals their hat used to give em in there

If they get mad, they look like the second option with the red outline of their hair, but usually they are pretty mellow i'd imagine. The party goes through the house and encounters them and Siff wouldn't fight them. Doesn't really matter, once they defeat him he's the quickest sadness to come back together, the closest this ver of siff gets to looping again, like he never was beaten

In this au I think sadness Siffrin would still want to be with their family and so their family can't progress in the house until they let him tag along w the group. Just the fam and the creepy doll sadness right behind them

still dunno the specifics for how they'd become a sadness, maybe wish craft shenanigans, but its a fun idea regardless

btw something really interesting i noticed when looking at all the sadnesses for reference: They all have something going on with their eyes. Super interesting given both Siffrin and the King have stuff going on with their eyes, one an eyepatch the other (as far as we know) just obscuring his face with his hair

Lives Worth Living Chapter 15

ISAT/Two Hat spoilers below. CW: Uhhh.... emotional pain, idk exactly how to tag this one but it's gonna hurt y'all, I may or may not have cried at work just THINKING about this chapter... So uhh, yeah, you've been warned.

(You awaken to an odd sensation. It feels distantly familiar, like a wave of healing and confirmation washing over your very essence… a save point?… Wh… Why are you feeling this now? This hasn't happened any other time so far… was it Loop?! You barely even finish the thought before your hand is placed beside your head in the usual 'call loop' sign… and the connection never comes.)

"Loop…" (You shudder out softly as your hand falls back to your side. You sit there, frozen, mind racing with all the horrible possibilities of what this all could mean. Were they gone?… Were you too late?… Could you even loop back before now if you wanted to? Why is the connection gone?! What happened to them?! They can loop too right?! You have to go back! You have to try!! Yo-)

"Sif? S-Sif are you okay?" (Isa's voice snaps you out of it, perking up a little and looking over at him. Tears have been pouring down your face. Isa sits up quickly, wrapping his arms around you almost instinctively, holding you close to his chest with worry.)

"I-I… I can't feel them anymore… Loop's gone!" (You choke out through the lump in your throat. You can't stop yourself from sobbing anymore. You retreat into the comfort of their touch, and yet you can't help but feel so alone in this moment.)

"I-It's okay Sif, I'm here… We'll figure this out, I'm sure they're fine!" (He tries to comfort you, but you both know his words are empty promises.)

----------------------------------------------------

"Are you certain they're gone? Maybe something just severed the connection, or there's an interference." (Odile theorizes as her and Mira had entered the room to console you. You sit in bed, holding your legs to your chest under you cloak, hiding your face in it as your expression looks hopeless.)

"I could always feel them… the slightest little blip, even when they never showed back up again… a-and now they're just…" (You start to explain, tears forming in your eye once more.)

"B-But we don't know what they've been doing! It doesn't mean they're gone!" (Mirabelle chimes in, trying to be as hopeful as possible.)

"What else could it mean, Mira?! Why else wouldn't I be able to feel them anymore?! I-I… I have to loop back, I-I have to try and sto-"

"Frin?…" (Your heart stops as you look to the door, noticing Bonnie standing just outside of it.)

"B-Bonbon! I-I-… I didn't… I-I'm not…" (You stammer out, your body shaking. Bonnie looks devastated, clenching their fists with tears welling up in their eyes. They then sprint back down the hall as they start sobbing. Odile sighing and following after.)

"I'll try to talk to them." (She nods to Isa and Mira, as if handing off the problem for them to deal with you…)

"Sif, please, you gotta calm down and then we can try to figure this out."

"What is there to figure out?! They're gone!! A-And if they're gone then what's even the point of going through all this again?! I-I-… I can't! I can't do this!!" (Your voice screams out, gripping your hair so tight it nearly tears out of your head. Tears continue to pour from your single eye.)

"Siffrin! P-Please, you'll hurt yourself!" (Mirabelle cries out as she looks ready to craft some healing for you.)

"We don't know they're gone Sif, we could-" (Isabeau starts to console you before you snap back.)

"Of course they're gone!! Why wouldn't they be?! Everything else that matters to me vanishes! Loop! My home! My memories! MY WHOLE BLINDING LIFE!! IT'S ALL GONE!!"

"…Sif… You've still got us…" (He pleads, you can hear the devestation in his voice.)

"Do I?! Because I just spent the last 30 years with all of you and only I can remember any of it!! That makes me feel pretty blinding lonely right now!!" (You can't even bear to look at either of them, but the silence stings painfully in your ears.)

"... C'mon, Mira, I think Sif just needs to simmer down." (Isa does his best to hide the break in his voice, but he's clearly fighting back the tears. The both of them leave the room and shut the door behind them. You grab the pillow beside you and bury your face into it. You scream as loud as you can, you scream until your voice gives out and your throat is raw, then you try to scream some more. The tears eventually stop flowing from your eye. You think you've just ran out of them.)

(You pull your face up from the tear and saliva soaked pillow, just throwing it to the side. The light from the window flickers as the branches blocking the sun drift about in the wind. You hop up off the bed and open the window wide, climbing out and sprinting to the largest tree you can find.)

-----------------------------------------------------

(The favor tree towers over you. You need a leaf, your favorite one… None of them mean anything to you in the moment. You grab the most Fresh looking leaf you can find. You hold it close and whisper into it thrice.)

"I wish to find Loop…"

(You delicately fold the leaf and drop it at your feet. You wait… You wait some more… You're getting impatient. You pick up another leaf, you whisper into it 6 times.)

"I wish to find Loop."

(You fold and drop the leaf again. You wait. You clench your fists and jaw, letting out an annoyed growl. You pick up another leaf, and scream into it until your voice gives out again.)

"I WISH TO FIND LOOP! SHOW ME WHERE THEY ARE YOU STUPID BLINDING UNIVERSE!!! I HAVE TO FIND THEM!! I WISH TO FIND LOOP!!!!"

(You violently crumple the leaf up and throw it to the ground, panting and shaking, staring angrily at the set of useless leaves you had used. As you prepare to grab yet another leaf, a strong gust of wind flows through, swooping up the 3 leaves you had used and fluttering them along through the tree line... the faintest hint of sugar fills your nostrils. You begin walking the way they pointed.)

Earlier I was calling my friend Ti and wanted to tell them that it was Siffrin and Loop’s birthday, but for those who are unaware, they’re only on act three! Thank god I caught myself.

“Oh btw today is Siffrin and L- in’s- birthday”

“Oh, cool!”

(which worked out because thankfully they’re aware I have a horrendous stutter. And it seemed as though I just stuttered really badly at the end of their name. Yay.)

Thank god for stutters, a sentence I never thought I’d say in my life.

Happy birthday to the silliest timeloop troopers in all of (Your head feels like it's splitting in two)

Thank you to @isat-script-project (sorry for tag) for doing your honestly impressive thing because you have saved me on multiple occasions of trying to find what exactly a line was or atleast the gist of it. You are doing so awesome and I hope you know that, good luck!!

I initially wrote timeloop survivors but loop didn’t survive did they…they’re a trooper…they both are

Anyway I thought it was a little funny…but it’s also 4:36 sooo. Good night isat-heads, and happy birthday to Siffrin and Loop

Is it mal du pays birthday? Do they have a birthday? Are they a Siffrin?

I’m saying it anyway

Happy (possible) birthday Mal Du Pays

This is a isat AU of mine called A multiverse of stars! It only has a few changes that change the story quite a bit

The most biggest change is that both Siffrin and Loop (prefers to be called Luma) have the ability to look at, enter, and hop between AUs and maybe other fandoms. Because of this the loops end pretty quickly, this also means that no one knows about the loops until siffrin tells them and Siffrin doesn't have to suffer as much from the loops. Another change is that Luma is very different compared to most Loop's. They're pretty anxious, a big push over to most people despite how powerful they really are, and genuinely a polite and well meaning guy. Luma also doesn't have any sort of resentment towards Siffrin, honestly, they see them as a sibling of sorts.

This is meant to be a mostly silly AU where multiverse/AU shenanigans happen.

{The AUs shown belong to @starmagnets isat kirby au, @ciozio isat happiness au, @pillowspace little sibling mdp au, @kyri45 isat sky cotl au}

{Hope you guys don't mind me tagging ya'll...}

Finally: The NoHats AU doodles. Plus some sprite edits.

Usually I'd let things speak for themselves and keep my chattering in the tags, but I'll ramble about my context thoughts...

So. First of all here's a link (x) to the Nohats Origin Post for those coming in and going ????.

Anyway. These doodles are not in any obvious chronological order, though Loop going from pilfered bandolier (my headcanon for how Siffrin has all those pockets) -> custom outfit made by Isabeau, is supposed to generally denote 'just after the ending' -> 'a few months down the line'.

And speaking of, Design & Characterisation notes:

Overall: NoHats is suppooooosed to have the range to not just be ULTIMATE MISERY ALL THE TIME (but if you're a major whump/angst fan. go fucking nuts.) so these are supposed to be. The steps toward overcoming and living with grief but. The Misery Is Kind Of The Punchiest Part.... Oops....

Mirabelle: Taking the lead, continuing to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders. In the game proper she's already shown to, while yes, be emotionally fragile at times, be prone to trying to hold the team together. I feel she'd do the same here. It also would help that she'd presumably be medicated again? But I can't imagine her chosen-one anxieities would be super ailed by the death of her friend. I wanted to try and give her more differences? She follows the change belief after all and is thus liable to switch up her style in general... But I didn't have a strong vision for this, so. The ball is in anyone's court. Her design changes here are keeping one of Sif's safety pins a la qpr bonding earring, and has the bell pendant at Loop's (oddly pushy) suggestion.

Isabeau: Taking it. Badly. Depression mullet and beard in tow. However, you best believe he is trying real badly to hide it. Loop very much does not reveal their identity to him because What The Fuck Would That Even Do. That's Scary. but they do try to comfort him while mentally regarding him "off limits". Backs themselves into some very unfortunate corners by alluding to their unfulfilled relationship with their Fighter as a point of common ground. I don't imagine this would go super great when recontextualised later after Loop is inevitably found out. Just in general oh good god what the fuck. this is like a radioactive pit of survivor's guilt.

Bonnie: Taking it probably The Worst. This is a child. Who was already feeling guilt. This is who everyone else is trying to keep it together for. Mirabelle and Isabeau would likely be putting up far less of a front without Bonnie around. They take the hat and take on Pocket Duty. They also have slightly more sif-y hairstyle but... Don't worry about it. They'd have Nille to fall back on once she's picked back up, and Loop almost certainly attempts to redouble efforts on making them feel better but seeing as how closed-off Bonnie can already be, it'd likely be difficult. However they would probably take Loop's identity reveal best...?

Odile: Odile's design.... ! Does not seem to have changed? How odd! Well. I'm sure she's dealing with things in a regular and non-cloistered manner. I already think that a regular Postcanon Activity for Odile could be her finding out about the potential for sif/loop to translate books and thus Knowledge in their native tongue assuming that ability sticks around postgame. Something something culture can never truly be wiped out etc etc. But putting it in this context. Makes it more desperate, more of a deflection for something else.

Loop: Helpful Loop. Well. They win! I feel like the entirety of ISAT being about Siffrin's mental state means I don't need to spill much ink here? You get it I think. I can't outdo the source material man. Anyway I imagine Loop is given clothes by Isabeau before they know who they are, but after they've become genuine friends. The outfit is in genuineness, on both sides from Loop and Isa, in having the cloak be a nod in respect to Siffrin, since Loop's "shared culture" would have to come up vis a vis cultural funerary traditions. Hard to avoid divulging that one...

[torchstelechos]

My favourite Loop and Siffrin relationship status is "Its not romantic, its not platonic, and its not healthy, but we stay winning <3" cause aint no one doing it like them

[demento-mori]

Gonna start a liveblog tag for my first isat playthrough. Anyways, some first impressions

The artstyle is very cute and charming. I love the character designs (especially Siffrin, i adore their wizard drip) and the world somehow manages to feel very vibrant even in monotone colours.

Having each characters pronouns in their profile is both ingenious and incredibly convient and frankly why arent more games doing this.

There's a very interesting subversion of typical rpg tropes. We start the game seemingly at the very end of a typical rpg's story, just before the final boss. We hear second hand about the prior experiences of the party but we don't get to experience them ourselves.

Also notable is that we seem to be playing as a party member, rather than the protagonist. For all intents and purposes, Mirabelle seems to be the protagonist of this rpg story, being the chosen one who is destined to defeat the king and the one who recruited all other party members, including Siffrin.

I'm interested to see where the game is going to take these ideas, since it seems like we're being set up for a deconstruction of typical rpg tropes, and im a big fan of those types of stories.

The game also seems to be setting up a theme of change vs. stagnation (with the Change God, the House of Change, Craft being the act of molding and changing the world, etc. vs. the King freezing people in time.) I also know this game features time loops so I expect that will probably factor into this theme as well.

The soundtrack absolutely FUCKS.

Overall I'm loving the game so far. I know people say this about literally everything and it gets annoying, but I definitely see a lot of undertale/deltarune influences (especially since the shot of the house of change seems like a direct homage).
