Hi I made a tumblr. I think I’ll mostly just be here to look at stuff and maybe talk to people and post random thoughts. I’ll also reblog some things I like. I’ll post some fanart here. I post other art and stuff other places that I’ll link.

In an effort to get people to read my webcomic, I’ve decided to link it in my pinned post. It’s about a world where you get an elemental connection on your thirteenth birthday, but one year, a boy named Juniper doesn’t, so the government executes him, but after that, more and more people don’t get connections and the government just keeps killing them. The story follows Juniper’s little sister Lilly, and her well one sided rival (not on Lilly’s side)/ friend/ crush (whaaat nooooo), Amber as they attempt to live their lives and end up uncovering some government conspiracies and starting a political mess along the way. It would mean a lot if you read it and maybe commented. There’s a decent amount out right now, it’s been running for over a year, and I try to update once a month or so if I can although unfortunately there’s no exact schedule. https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/lacking-the-elements/prologue/viewer?title_no=950138&episode_no=1

Lacking the Elements - Prologue

Ever since the Power Committee Took over Elemental territory, no one has not gotten a connection to an element on their 13th birthday. That

On another note: I’ve organized my blog’s tags a bit. (The search bar is a little jumbled with it but these should mostly work although if you find a hashtag under a post on my profile and click it, it should give you everything in my profile under the tag. Forgive me if this is redundant I don’t know what I’m doing)

#bananaart will show you things I’ve drawn (mostly fanart on here if you want to see my ocs and other stuff go to my Cara linked in bio)

#banana reblogs self explanatory stuff I’ve reblogged

#banana kotlc thoughts #banana wha thoughts #banana twst thoughts should bring you my rambles on those fandoms and if you try inserting a different fandom in there there’s a chance I might have tagged it too but didn’t list it here cause there isn’t much although at that point you should just look up the fandom itself in my search bar

#banana twst is supposed to be all of the stuff I’ve made regaurding twisted wonderland but I wouldn’t be surprised if I missed a few while going back and tagging

#banana life thoughts are just random miscellaneous things I post that aren’t tied to a fandom

#banana tag game anytime I post anything that is connected to some kind of chain

#banana answers when I respond to asks

If you’re interested in something else specific I usually add a lot of tags to my post so if I have anything related to it just looking it up in my search bar should pull it up.

Happy browsing my profile.

Time loops are the ultimate blasphemy against the change God which is why even when everything else stays the exact same, Siffrin must continue to change, the only semblance left of change in their rotting world

[tawnysoup]

CW DEATH, DEAD BODY, STRANGULATION, BLOOD, IMPLIED SELF-HARM (in case my tags aren't enough!!!! stay safe)

(Above you, you hear Loop trying to take a breath.)

[banana-can-do-art]

Omgomgomgomgomgomgomg Loop angst oh they’re still part of Siffrin and would still feel so guilty about this no matter how much time has changed them 😭

[beneathsilverstars]

“[You can use the arrow keys to move around.]” as loop genuinely transmitting basic motor skills to siffrin bc he’s one squeak old and all the siffrin-shaped stuff the universe put back together hasn’t quite connected yet

The queer rep in ISAT is so good at breaking stereotypes. Like, the aroace character is nearly always the stoic one, and they could have so easily made Odile aroace, and for a moment I thought they were going to when they asked her if she’d ever been in love, but then she wasn’t, in fact, Odile’s former love interests gender isn’t specified which leaves Odile’s sexuality completely open to be interested in any gender, effectively making her pan in my brain and that’s just also something that isn’t often seen in uptight stoic characters, since bi and pan people are so often portrayed as fun or promiscuous, and Odile is the opposite of that. and it was Mira who is the aroace character. Mira, the one who is so sweet and happy and positive and loves reading romance. Which honestly her tastes in romance media are like the aro acest things ever lol and I want the spinoff where her and Odile have book club. And she can still be all of those things and also be aroace and that doesn’t take away from that or change who she is in any way and I love that. And then Isabeau being trans, like I did not expect that upon early introductions to his character because we’re just not used to seeing trans men character who are buff and strong in media. That’s just not the what gets shown often, those archetypes are almost always cis men, and if they’re not they’ll occasionally be given to a woman for subversion or mocking comedy. Which is an interesting character thing as well for Isa, that he leans super hard into a masculine stereotype and doesn’t like it and needs to find some balance because he can still be his new self that he likes being while also being smart, he doesn’t have to give up old things about himself just because he’s changed. Which is likely referencing real world experiences of trans people feeling like they have to give up hobbies and attributes of themselves that they like just because it’s framed to be stereotypically a hobby of the gender they are transitioning away from, but that’s not true, gender stereotypes are stupid, do what you want forever. And then that’s how they’re also able to get away with putting Loop in the story without critique of them fitting into the nonhuman nonbinary other and also silly flamboyant personality you always see tropes, they’re allowed to be that because A they used to be human anyway, and B there are two other human nonbinary characters. Well, Siffrin is technically Loop and also debatablely not human and also not the exact same flavor of non binary as loop using different pronouns and such, but close enough. And Bonnie is a completely unexpected nonbinary character as this very young kid who just also is nonbinary is something not seen often since in our world, since kids are so restricted in what they can know about gender identity and how we raise them in tight gendered boxes, they don’t usually have the language to describe this stuff that young, but in their universe, Bonnie does and that’s awesome. Anyway, yeah, clap it up for awesome ISAT queer rep.

[banana-can-do-art]

Sorry if I interpreted things slightly, off I literally just finished watching a playthrough of this game for the first time and I needed to yap about it lol. Since Siffrin is technically like a clone of Loop I sort of thought that would make them being a human somewhat debatable? Sort of like grimwalkers from the Owl House but idk maybe I’m wrong about that. And I kind of thought Bonnie was like eight from the way they act lol. I’ll edit this a bit.

[redwolftakesthemoon]

No no don't apologize!! This was all just my thoughts and interpretation too, nothing official! I just wanted to share as well, but you didn't say anything wrong! I enjoyed hearing your thoughts! Have a lovely day ^^

[banana-can-do-art]

Dw u didn’t come off as rude at all, I enjoyed hearing your interpretations and I think when I looked it up, Bonnie is probably like 10-12 considering they’re referred to as a preteen

[banana-can-do-art]

So if Siffrin is a clone of Loop and Loop already made the wish to never be separated from the party, and passed that wish down to Siffrin when he was created, then do you think it actually has any effect when Siffrin wishes on the favor tree at the beginning? He doesn’t remember doing it, but it was something Loop already did. Do you think if he hadn’t wished again, since it hadn’t been this version of them wishing, do you think he would have been free? Or do you think that even if he hadn’t wished, he was already doomed to loop due to what Loop had already wished for and given to them. Or do you think that even if Loop’s wish didn’t trap him in time, he was doomed to wish again anyway, fated to make the very same wish as their creator because of the desires and fears instilled in them.

[banana-can-do-art]

its not an addition of the "he" pronoun - its the removal of it. loop goes by they/them only as a way to seperate themself from their past self (imo at least. lots of possible reasons for it)

Oh, yeah, that could be the reason. More than just disguising their identity from Siffrin, they also don’t want to feel like they’re the same person, still going on those loops over and over again, they want to be mysterious and different

[banana-can-do-art]

Siffrin is like Loop’s grimwalker basically, so like they I assume are meant to be being born when Loop who at that point was Siffrin eats the star at the beginning of the game. So like the entire game has been their entire life, so are they even really technically from the lost island then considering they’re actually just a clone of someone from the lost island thing. Odile isn’t even completely wrong when she calls them a child. He’s like a month old by the end of the game, he’s a baby.

[redwolftakesthemoon]

considering it's a time loop I imagine that Loop's wish was granted and then the next time they looped (I assume that they are the stra during the scene where they could have chosen where to loop, so the new loop started immediately after), their consciousness was thrown into this star persona and Siffrin wasn't really "created", but they had looped back and sort of got reset to start again

[banana-can-do-art]

Oh, I see, so you think that Loop is more like a part of Siffrin’s consciousness that separated off rather than a whole other being? That would make Loop like the holder of all the bad memories of Looping while Siffrin went back to the start maybe? Idk, how the duplicating works isn’t fully explained so I’m like nooo I need specifics and am trying to figure out how exactly this would work

(Although, edit, I learned that Bonnie is a bit older than I initially thought they were and there are definitely kids their age in our world exploring gender stuff, but I feel like that’s still not always shown in media that takes them seriously because often mainstream stuff is afraid of showing preteens being trans because they’ll be accused of encouraging kids towards the woke mind virus or whatever, although that happens when you include any queer characters to be fair. But even so, a lot of kids who are shown using they/them at Bonnie’s age get the oh, I’m so edgy and different treatment often to make fun of them or show they being nonbinary is an isolating experience, but since it’s not a big deal in their world, it’s not for Bonnie, and they’re written like any other kid.) Anyway, yeah, clap it up for awesome ISAT queer rep.

[banana-can-do-art]

Since their society worships Change and this makes it so that transness is super acceptable and even encouraged in their society, I’ve wondered if they raise all of their kids gender neutrally referring to them as they/them until they’re older. Since like when Isabeau talks about his past self as a clearly trans character, he uses they/them, and I was a bit surprised by this since I assumed he’d either just say he since regardless of what he went by at the time since many if not most trans people still see their experience as being their gender the entire time regardless of how others perceived them or how they did not know it yet themselves. However, some people may still choose to refer to their past selves in the way they were referred to at the time if the specific trans person so chooses to do so, so when Isa changed pronouns to refer to his past self I was bit surprised that if he was going to do that, he didn’t use she. He could always be referring to the entirety of himself gender neutrally to include both the way he was then and the way he is now. But with how much they all worship Change, wouldn’t he maybe want to use the pronoun switch if he was going to do one to emphasize more dramatic change? But then I thought about it more and how Bonnie uses they/them. And in our society in the real world it’s not super common for someone as young as them to have figured out their gender identity enough within the bounds and restrictions our society places on them to be going by they/them. But transphobia doesn’t seem to exist in their world, so it isn’t a problem for Bonnie. And I think Bonnie would be consciously choosing to continue using they/them at this point since while they’re still very young, they’re old enough to know and conceptualize their gender identity especially in a world where that’s encouraged. (Edit: Bonnie’s a bit older than I thought they were, I assumed they were like eight, so it is more common in our world for people like twelve or so to be figuring out their gender identities, but still it’s made a lot easier for Bonnie by the acceptance of the society they’re in and my point still stands) But it also makes me wonder if maybe they were just going by that for their whole life and they’re expected to change it as they grow older and understand their identities more. I wonder if that’s like another celebration of change for them, changing pronouns. But I wonder if not changing them would be frowned on at all then considering that Mira’s queerness isn’t accepted in the same way as everyone else’s is since her aroaceness means staying the same while most other sexualities and identities involve changing yourself in some way, by entering a relationship, or changing pronouns or your body or whatever else. So I wonder then if a nonbinary identity is similar at all, like oh you never changed it, you should do that. Which is kind of funny to me like sort of obligatory trans. And how their society is basically like we love and encourage LGBTQ+ stuff we love it because change, except not the aros and aces eeeeewwww. ISAT society is just the worst of queer infighting aro ace exclusion discourse lmao. And then if my theory is right maybe that extends to enbies too, who knows. This would likely mean that Isa is still trans if this is the case obviously that’s an important part of their character, but in universe maybe he was just in an AFAB body except it wouldn’t really be assigned anything in their universe, but it would appear the way we would gender it that way in our universe, and he later transitioned to make it more masculine and began using he/him pronouns. The way that queerness is treated in various world buildings, especially ones where it was so clearly thought about and factored in like in ISAT is so interesting to me. Anyway, just something interesting I picked up on in the world building.

[banana-can-do-art]

Loop voice: Oh, I’m gonna create a being that is exactly like me in every way, except I’m gonna throw in a he pronoun for funsies, I’m gonna move their gender ever soooo slightly!

Genuinely I’m so confused by that though, like Loop and Siffrin basically have the same brain, they are each other, so why are their genders slightly different?!?! Shouldn’t they both be either they/them or he/they??? Maybe it’s a symbolic signifier that Siffrin is different enough to make it out? Ah yes, the addition of the he pronoun is all I needed to make it out of the time loop!

[banana-can-do-art]

Siffrin is like Loop’s grimwalker basically, so like they I assume are meant to be being born when Loop who at that point was Siffrin eats the star at the beginning of the game. So like the entire game has been their entire life, so are they even really technically from the lost island then considering they’re actually just a clone of someone from the lost island thing. Odile isn’t even completely wrong when she calls them a child. He’s like a month old by the end of the game, he’s a baby.

[banana-can-do-art]

In Stars And Time oddly reminds me of an adult version of Amphibia. Thematically speaking anyway. Specifically Marcy’s character arc. Like if Amphibia was focused around Marcy and for adults and way darker. Because like Marcy’s whole thing is that she doesn’t want to be separated from her friends because they’re the only people she’s ever really managed to get close to due to being the most autism coded character in existence, and so instead of talking to them about it or moving forward in her life, she decides to use a mysterious magical thing to hopefully keep them together that ends up trapping them in frog land forever. Siffrin goes through like the same exact thing except instead of his isolation being because of autism coding, it’s because their entire country and previous life just ceased to exist on the map and now he has no memories of his past or friends or anyone he was ever close to except for his current adventuring party. And instead of trapping everyone is silly Disney frog land, he traps them in infinite time loop hell. And yet somehow both of these problems are kind of fixed with the power of friendship. I jest, in both cases it’s a lot more than that obviously, but both of them just have to talk to the other people in the group and for Marcy, Amphibia is a show about a kind of toxic friend group that refuses to grow apart, so in order to move forward in her life, she needs to spend some time away from her friend group and realize she can live her own life while still acknowledging that she can still be friends with them and be important to them and see them again. Which is kind of similar to Loop’s ending actually. For Siffrin, his family isn’t a toxic mess, and really all he needed to do the whole time was talk to them because there is literally no reason whatsoever that they can’t keep traveling together for a while longer, and even if they need to split up they can still keep in contact. So in his ending he just talks to them and gets to keep traveling with them and escape the time loop. Which honestly the wholesomeness and happy endingness of ISAT’s ending genuinely shocked me because I’VE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE!!! And they always tend to have a bitter sweet ending, and like sure Siffrin is going to have to work through this trauma and stuff forever, but like they escaped the time loop and the family isn’t all back together and they love and care about each other and they pretty much fixed everything. I really thought for a while as the game was going that they were never going to find a way out and that the ending would be Siffrin accepting this but telling his family what’s going on and they like write down previous conversations had so they can explain each loop and spend their time doing stuff other than fighting the king since this is all they have. But no, they actually got their perfect happy ending. I mean, Loop didn’t really, Loop got the short end of the stick, but like with Loop’s situation there was like no way they were getting a completely perfect happy ending at the end of all of that, but I thought Siffrin would end up going the same bittersweet way and they just didn’t. And honestly, comparatively to all the stuff that could have happened to Loop, they got a pretty decent ending. They got the bittersweet ending of the game, but like the main party is going great. Both pieces of media have similar themes about change, I mean ISAT’s characters literally worship the change God, and Amphibia’s final monologue in the hardest thing says that change is the hardest thing! Both things are fundamentally about change and what happens when you resist it and don’t adapt with it! I rest my case, In Stars And Time is like basically aged up, darker Amphibia
