Something amazing about In Stars and Time is how it makes you feel what Siffrin feels.

And yes, when you go through Act 5 and everything breaks down that's cool.

But when Siffrin feels loved and safe, I think that's what's special. That's what makes this game and these characters so special to me.

As someone who, too, had a similar feeling of feeling unlovable for a very long time. This game really healed that part of me.

When the timeloops start, and Siffrin clings to being useful, you still feel little bits of love. Small, barely there, a little distanced, because Siffrin feels distanced. But it's still there. The party looks out for you, pays attention to you, makes stupid jokes with you.

As you go through, you feel love through Loop. Loop who despite all the teasing and bullying helps. Helps the person who they so wish they could be. The one who holds their own heart, who has the family they lost. Loop reaches out to you, reminds you, you're here, I see you. It hurts, but I see you. And I will always see you and sit with you. And I will keep you from becoming as detached as I did, whether that be by annoying you or having a heart to heart or just yapping in general.

You feel love from the head housemaiden. That cruel kind as she weeps for your situation, and crys tears you can not. As she apologizes over and over again. Euphrasies loves by showing you the painful kind of mercy, the one that stabs you in your heart and makes you want to scream, because she loves through pity. Through pitying you and your suffering. No matter how much it hurts it is love nonetheless.

And finally, in the end, after everything you've done, after everything you went through. You feel love again. This time in your face, so burning and bright that you can not ignore it, you feel loved from the very people you loved from the start. The party who runs in to save you, despite everything you said. Who tells you it's ok, you were going insane, we may be a little mad at what you said, but in the end that doesn't matter. Because we love you. And man, when they really showed the unconditional love, I was going to cry. Because a love like that, especially one with the party, is so hard to find. And it's so precious.

Finally, you see love, one more time. Twohats. The Loop fight. Loop, who is trying to kill you, Loop who is so jealous because that is the love they so wanted. They want their family back. Loop who despite everything. They still can't kill Siffrin. Siffrin, who despite being forced to fight again, who could drop dead at any moment because of his craft exhaustion, refuses to oblige Loops request. They both refuse to kill. Because they still love each other. Siffrin who pulls Loop into a hug, and apologizes. Apologizes to who they once were, the Siffrin who should've gotten this. The one who had their family and their heart stolen from them. The Siffrin who never got to feel love. He thanks who they are now, Loop. For sticking with them despite everything. Who watched Siffrin, guided them, gave them a shoulder to cry on, bantered with them so Siffrin did not lose himself. Who despite everything, still decided to help. Siffrin isn't mad at Loop, because Siffrin knows, he would do the same. Siffrin gives Loop back all the love they gave. He let's Loop move on, knowing they're loved. That they always have been. Loop accepts that their family is gone, that they loved them all the same. They learn that even with them gone, they were still loved. Loop is allowed to be happy as they leave.

And isn't that just what this game is about? That no matter what, everyone deserves to be loved. To know it too, and to be happy. And that's what healed me a bit. Because if even the King, who spent his days weeping for a kingdom long gone, who lost all his family and could not build a new one, who froze everything in time, was still able to know and remember the love he had in the end, then why can't I? Why can't anyone? If even the ones who hated and cried and destroyed everything, the ones who hid it all until they couldn't, who didn't understand their emotions and felt trapped within a construct, who didn't feel like them no matter how much they changed, then can't we, too, love and be loved?

This game shows that love does not have to be romantic, does not have to be displayed in any way, is not something earned, but is a basic right for all of us. And for that, I thank it.

Hope you don't mind me adding on op, but this just activated my lil fish brain so I gotta get it out.

Me personally, I've always imagined the Universe as an entity similar to us, the players. After all, what are we if not gleeful onlookers of Siffrins predicament? I've made a joke about it before, but most fics are all Angst, and they're mostly Siffrin focused; Because they're ours as a fandoms favorite character; the Universes favorite person. We look on and watch this with a special kind of empathy, the one reserved for those we perceive as 'characters'. The kind of empathy where we feel for them, feel their hurt and suffering, yet we still watch, because it's entertaining. I've always thought the Universe thinks in a similar way. It feels empathy in the way fans of games feel empathy for characters. It pities and helps and guides a bit, but it will still watch as they struggle with some amount of entertainment, and some of its guidance will be done less for the sake of helping and more for the sake of wanting a good show. Maybe the Universe sees everyone as characters, beings with some depth an emotion, but ultimately not real; puppets to use for their entertainment and coping and whatever else it pleases.

What if Atsushi knows sign language?? Like in the orphanage the kids would use it to communicate sometimes without the staff knowing, so even if Atsushi wasn't involved he gradually learned sign language to find out where to sneak food, good hiding spots if something happens, and how to get away easily if you do something. He knows how to sign fast too cause the kids would cut deals with Atsushi that if he used the fact that he was much scrawnier than the other kids to do something, then they would split something, mostly food though. So he can sign fast, fluently, and easily understand it even if it's rushed or unclear to most.

Hello!

I hope this ask finds you well. I have a question about your Rose Knights Series!! I know that in a previous post you said you wanted to keep some info and lore on dragons more on the secretive side so that George can talk about it later, but is there any little tidbits or drawings you would be willing to share with us that are spoiler-free in the meantime?

The dragons are so cool to me and I desperately want to see more of them,,,, but I totally understand if you can't share anything more than you already have!

Best regards

I do want to save some Dragon lore for George to share to the cast, BUT! It is a crime for me not to give you guys a little more info about those plant dorks! And there's a lot of things I can share in the meantime that isn't spoilers! So thank you so much for asking about it! <3

To start things off, let me say that even if the Dragons don't have the same obsession about colors as the Roses do, there is STILL meaning behind the 3 Main Colors Dragons fall under: Green, Black and White. While the Roses' magic and color is tied to personal characteristics, traits, and identity, Dragon magic and color is influenced by the relationships they have OUTSIDE of themselves. Family, friends, rivals, enemies, lovers- all these things help shape the kind of magic and color a Dragon will grow into.

Similarly to Red Roses, Green Dragons are the perfect average. Having just the right amount of social flexibility and mental stability means most Green Dragons will be able to harness all parts of their magic without difficulty. Black Dragons, having cut themselves off from all forms of relationship, develop strong bodies as tough as metal. But they lose all ability to shift their form, and there's nothing left for them to share with anybody else. A small price to pay to not need anybody to save you though, right? White Dragons, while physically the weakest and most vulnerable of all the colors, usually have an army's worth of Dragon underlings or friends who are more than happy to do all fighting on their behalf anyway. As recompense, White Dragons can charge anything with enough magic to make them an unstoppable and unkillable force for a short time.

Dragons with lighter colors have more freedom to shift their bodies and to share energy/power with someone else. Dragons with darker colors are harder to hurt, with more weight to crush anything that tries pushing them back.

And quickly giving a shoutout to Colored Dragons for being absolute headaches but VERY pretty and talented and amazing all the same! Colored Dragons are obviously Dragons with Rose ancestry. And just like Green Roses, Colored Dragons can have any combination of Rose and Dragon powers.

is your personality irl different than your personality online?
