Resident fanfic fanatic furry || Translator of Arcadekitten's games with @thetranslationchaos!
I will post and reblog spoilers!
MATCHING WITH @laurazfreakz!!!!! YAYAYAYA
Seriously this is still one of my favorite things I've ever made, and I go back regularly and read all the nice comments you guys have left (sometimes they make me cry). Now that tumblr's image limit is 30, I thought it'd be nice to have the whole comic in one post <3
Also I don't sell any copies, I don't think it would be fair to make money off a story I didn't write, so if you'd like the high-res images to print out yourself (for Personal use ONLY) you can email me at [email protected] or I have a form on my website where you can send me a message :)
And if you like my art you can support me on Ko-Fi or follow me on Instagram!
But seriously thank you for the outpouring of love I love literally all of you guys who took the time to comment or share my comic :')

I love headcanoning characters as aspec. You can be aspec and you and you and you and you and YOU'RE ALL ASPEC. The only thing better is making characters who are aspec.
The DOORS protagonist (Also known as the Tourist/Explorer/Visitor to the ETT fans) is one hell of a curious adventurer in-game. I don’t mean that the game is designed to promote exploration, or that people who play DOORS love exploring. I mean that the character you play as is canonically shown to be a curious little fellow. Exploring is one of, if not their biggest goal.
I don’t want to waste time explaining why, but it’s strongly hinted at with their ability to enter subfloors for No Good Reason, the upcoming Journal they write in, and their “dialogue” with El Goblino.
However, this character only takes half of the focus in this post. Glitch is an entity inside the protagonist’s head, presumably a forgotten/failed project by the Architects.
Glitch’s main goal is simple. If anything, it seems to state it outright in one of its many death messages in its Visions:
“WITH ENOUGH ITERATION | WE'LL LEAVE | TOGETHER”
Glitch wants out, but it seems tough in theory considering its existence is tethered to us in some way.
Glitch’s aspect of being fully intelligent, yet somewhat at the mercy of the protagonist is a very interesting aspect of the character that little pick up on. What’ll it do if we just. like. don’t wanna leave ??
That’s irrelevant, however. At least Glitch probably wouldn’t have to worry about that, right?
So uh.
When you look at it, Glitch and the Visitor (the term I will use for the DOORS protagonist moving forward) are nearly perfect foils for each other. And I mean every aspect. Hell, I’m literally only thinking about some of these as I’m writing; this was originally only supposed to be about one way they contrast each other.
For starters, let’s look at the power imbalance. The Visitor has to deal with, oh, just a few dozen threats. They can only even fight back with either some lights, or a Crucifix made by else entirely.
Glitch, on the other hand? It stated it best:
“THE ONE THAT MADE ME | DOESN'T REALIZE | MY POTENTIAL.”
Not only is Glitch (presumably) incredibly strong while you’re weak, but while the Visitor looks to the Architects for assistance, Glitch pushes past them, both in the sense that it doesn’t really care about them and it might just even be more powerful.
And while we’re on the subject of Glitch’s power, let’s look at what it does with it: Creating content.
I made a post about how content creation is a surprisingly major theme in DOORS (find it yourself im lazy), but I didn’t really cover on how Glitch’s role in it plays with the Visitor’s. Glitch is certainly a creator. Look at its visions and item skins.
However, its mind-altering abilities don’t end there. You’re able to get the following line from Glitch upon death in its visions:
“I KNOW THINGS ABOUT YOU | THAT EVEN YOU DON'T KNOW”
So, cool. Glitch has knowledge on the Visitor that not even they themself have. There’s even more of a power imbalance.
However, I wouldn’t say that fully. One of the visions, AKA the daily runs, paints a different story.
Call this a stretch, but if you look at the daily runs badges, they have titles like “LOW LATENCY” and “PARALLEL PROCESSING”. Hell, one of them is just titled “MACHINE LEARNING”.
My point? The Visitor’s making bits of content for Glitch, too: Information on how to counter entities and navigate the floors.
The content in question even contrasts with what Glitch makes for us: Glitch messes with their head so we can hallucinate things, but the Visitor messes with the world so that Glitch can learn. Glitch knows things about us we don’t know, and we know things about the world that it doesn’t know.
And did I even mention that what they create for each other is crucial to their different goals? Glitch makes content for the Visitor to explore and collect, while Visitor gives Glitch information to make escaping easier.
Oh, and while we’re on the topic of their goals, that’s actually the final nail in the coffin and the epiphany that made me create this post in the first place:
Glitch’s desires go against the Visitor’s.
Look at it this way. Glitch seems to want nothing more than to escape. Look at the quote I showed at the start of this post.
The Visitor, however, wants to explore as much as they can. It’s in their nature.
How can you escape if there’s so much left to look at? How can you keep looking if the exit will always be right there?
It’s clear that they can’t have both. If they can’t, though… One of them will have to let everything they stand for wash away die.
Glitch might not be able to account for *everything*, and if so, man would that make for CINEMA.
My friend had to leave in the middle of us playing Detective Beebo when she was over and we haven't been able to continue playing yet and we're in the middle of dialogue so I can't save so like.
