ANYWAYS ART YUM!

Sorry if the text isent that clear! Also ignore art corspe

More Isat art! I have improved!!!

Anyways enjoy my art of loop and siffren! In that order

loop da loop :3

Hooooo man oh man, I'm finally done! Imma go collapse on my bed, hope you guys enjoy!

Not the shoes...

was talking with the ISaT gift exchange crew about Loop needing to wear the sparkly items we own, so here's Loop in my sparkles shoes I think they deserve sparkle shoes 😌

Malanga fritters have lost their shine. Just follow the script until the curtains close.

Let me be edgy i just finished the game

Alright since everyone just ADORED the last one but was a little saddened by the ending... have a sequel!!

Part 1

Imagine you died but instead of heaven or hell or nothing you're just stuck with all the other dead versions of you and you have to watch the next iteration of you make the same mistake AGAIN like a fucked up twitch chat because you ARE unfortunately the universe's favorite OC and instead of letting you truly die they just keep copying you in slightly different iterations over and over again.

First you find out that all the others were watching you fuck up before. And now you have to watch the next one fuck up even though YOU GOT YOUR HAPPY ENDING.

And none of them have the beam into your head tutorial power but Loop so the only way to communicate with them is through Loop. So Loop has to do this AGAIN. All while they have three other idiots breathing down their neck and arguing about the best way to get through this. And technically there are even more of you running around but they're so old or fragmented they're more like ghosts than anything???

How long has this been going on?

Nobody is sure. Even the oldest one there has seen the ghosts running around.

Anyways welcome to the nightmare blunt rotation.

let's take ibuprofen together, stardust ✨

Loop sketch :3

i uh huh ok?

Really late secret santa gift for @2key10s so sorry hope you like it!

I think we're in the wrong game, Stardust.

Thing

My friend asked to kick them

Try to convince some of my friends abt In Stars and Time but talking abt my interests always feels kinda wierd. So now all I have are these silly doodles-

playing around w brushes + style.... go my blackification beam

Get your head together stardust!~

Part of my headcanon is that everyone from the islands 'soul' of sorts it made of stardust, so I like to think that, when Loop made that wish, the Universe heard, and let the stardust in their heart surround them. As an apology for not being able to relieve their pain, and pain is part of everyone's destined path (another hc that's a lil too long to get into rn hehe), they let them become who they originally were, and through that gave Loop a choice.

The Universe can't take the pain away, it can't change the paths of its people. Yet, it can let the people choose. It let Loop see the joy that comes after pain through Siffrin. And let Loop choose. Choose whether to continue living, go through the pain and hardship of life for the light at the end, or end it. Pain is part of life, but for that pain you can gain wonderful things. Yet sometimes, the pain isn't worth it. And it's up to Loop to decide the worth of pain and joy.

Do you guys ever think about the Universe giving Loop the form of a star, and how that may be the most intimate act of love the Universe is capable of?

Loop turns into a star and that may be the Universe’s way of saying “I love you, you are a part of me and I am a part of you— you are as valuable as all those lights you look up and pray to. I’m sorry I do not know how to help you, I’m sorry I don’t know who to make you now, I’m sorry my answer to your prayer only caused more suffering, I’m sorry I do not understand you, in all your mortal pain and anguish, but I am you and you are me. I love you.”

Do. Does. Does anyone ever think about that?

Ok unpopular opinion BUT

I'd rather see Loop look like the wonderful star they are and find a new party/family to call their own post-game.

Loop still looking like a star is, admittedly, mostly because I can't imagine Loop as anything else. Loops the star! My lil star! But also I think Loop deserves to love who they are. Who they are is a star. And I think if they became a human, no matter what they did, they would look into the mirror and staring back at them would not be Loop, but Siffrin. I want them to look at themselves and at least go 'this looks like me. No one else but me.' Maybe in the future they change, but not until they can control the change themselves. Not until Loop learns who they are. Loop has been forcibly changed so much, taken apart and reformed to match someone else's desires or needs or wants, and I think they deserve to shape themselves. To be able to one day look in the mirror and see them. Whoever that may be.

I also want Loop to choose their life. That's kinda why I think Loop should be able to find and make a new family. I feel like if Loop were to acclimate themselves with the original party, they would always, to an extent, feel like they're forcing themselves into a place they don't belong in. Always just there. Always that extra thing Siffrin brought in. Always the poser. The 'fake' Siffrin. Even if they don't know, even if they still love Loop for Loop, that's how it would always feel to them. Because Loop will always feel like they're surrounded by strange and slightly different copies of their family.

I think if they were able to wander on their own, find their own family, I think that the comparison would be able to stop one day, or at least not hurt as much anymore. Loop won't be constantly surrounded by a reminder of what they lost and what could've been, they'll be constantly surrounded by the fact that despite everything, they are still loved. They are still loved as Loop, as their own person with their own emotions and heart and reactions. They won't feel the scrutinizing stares of people who keep trying to figure out why Loop seems so familiar and different at the same time. They can just be Loop. They can relearn love and open up on their own terms and become something more than the Universes designated failure and helper for Siffrin.

And maybe one day, after Loop changes, now feels like their own person, and is surrounded by their own family, one who knows of their story and past, one who loves so warmly and gently it let's the the wounds of being someone else fade, they'll run into Siffrin again. Yet this time, there is no lingering animosity, there is no pain in feeling like an accessory to them, a side character in what was supposed to be their story. Now, it's the nostalgia of seeing someone who survived hell with you. They can sit and talk together about their own families and travels and they get to just be two people in the Universe chatting happily. Loop sees the others come towards Siffrin and the sting of pain they used to feel seeing them is no longer there. Because Loop can still find their happy ending. Loop can still be loved. And Loop knows that now.

I just want Loop to be loved and feel it and to be able to accept that love fully instead of having the hanging shadows of their past as Siffrin taunt them.

May or may not have gotten overwhelmed . Uhm. Go my isat doodles that I don't remember if I posted nor do I remember when I did them

I'd also share some I did on paper but that's for later . I have RPG in a few KDNWKNELKM

BYE SEE YOU IN. A FEW BUSINESS DAYS .

I've been seeing people's designs for the other party's 'Loops' if they were the only ones in the time loop and hear me out

What if instead of them all being different kinds of stars/start phases, they were all different astronomical objects?

Like Siffrins Loop is still a star, but maybe Odiles Loop is a moon, Bonnies is an asteroid, Mirabelles is a planet, and Isabeaus is a comet (I just came up with random ones for all of them so ofc they're probably not exactly that, but you get the idea, right?)

Idk I just think it'd be cool if the thing they turn into changes based on their personality or something :P

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.

Oh yeah lemme just

The world deserves to see the shitty doodles that is my banner

In case you can't read my handwriting :>

Mal Du Pays: 'This Journey Was Only Meaningful to You' in red

Mirabelle: Holding up Garlic Bread as it glows like the holy grail it is. 'Garlic Bread' is written in all caps.

Sleepy Siffrin: 'honk shooooooo, honk shooooooo'

Loop: They are labeled as 'about to kill themselves'

Bonnie: An arrow calling their chef cooker hat 'Samosa storage'

Weepy Isabeau: The doodle is labeled with 'That Feeling When your crush gives you a flower'

Odile and Birb: Odile is thinking 'Piou Piou :>', the bird also says 'Piou Piou'. The note translating the birb says, 'I'm gonna poop on you later'

Spooped Mirabelle and Isabeau: they are staring shocked by the bird going, 'Peep!'

MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS YALLL

I was able to participate in the @isat-secretsanta-2024 and my secret Santa was @kimdokjafan :D

I had a lot of fun with your request, it was super cool to explore Loops feelings!

I hope you like it!!

Allow me to fuel the insanity (sorry not sorry op)

The Island was erased from existence. Any evidence was doomed to never be understood, all trace of it in people's minds gone. If no one knows or remembers it, does it exist?

I like to imagine that island, the people, everyone and everything regarding it was built from stars. Their lives and culture and identity was forged from the small lights speckled across the sky. If even an identity was made purely from those stars, the very basis and life of home, by nature of the island, of their home, being erased from existence, so was the identity of those who remained.

From what I've gotten from playing the game, Siffrin remembers most out of everyone we've met so far. They can understand the language, at some point they remember the stars, they get moments of knowing home, of parents and spicy malanga fritters and broken teacups. Maybe Loop calls them stardust, because, like Loop said, they're what remains. Their memories, their cloak, their hat, their language, their culture, their religion, all of those are something that, by the end of the game as far as we know, are something only Siffrin can hold on to now. Siffrin is stardust because they hold on to the remains of the star that was destroyed. The bits and pieces they know and have so quickly stitched into their being are all that remains.

he doesn’t remember the stars??? that’s what frin’s supposed to remember?? is it cause they’re home!! cause he homes from the stars!!! like the king does!!! but then why doesn’t he remember them?? did the stars have like a collapse or an exodus or something?? and that’s why he can never go back?? why the king was a nameless traveler with no home?? why frin was?? why loop calls him stardust?? cause he’s what’s left of a star?? or of their home?? or of someone he used to be when he was at home in the stars??
