Hi, I'm Luna! This is my In Stars and Time sideblog! I think my brain rewired itself and made me a new person after playing this game. So I made a blog about it.

Here I will:

Reblog art, comics, memes, fics, etc! All of them will be tagged "[X] tag". If I reblog a comic from a series, I will tag that series name.

Tag each character. All will be "[character name] isat".

My personal fics will be tagged as "luna writes" and if I do art, "luna draws".

If there are common triggers, those will also be tagged. If you want something tagged, let me know. Eye trauma will also be tagged. I don't generally tag blood but will if requested.

Spoilers will be tagged isat spoilers. I have given up tagging per act.

Anyway, nice to be here! Let me know if I missed anything. Bye~~

i forgive the director all their wrongs. your honor they're literally cute??

👀 also hi @askoverkill thank you for the kind words on my other posts 👀 im honored

[noolsart]

I'm taking time to relax from my animation job by animating. Really really loved In stars and time Siffrin is an incredibly compelling little gremlin! Their breathing gets brought up so much that yknow, this just popped into my head and refused to leave

[orpheuslament]

boy i sure do love a character who is playing a Character. a character who you have to basically forcefully cut open to get a glimpse of who they actually are. bonus points if they themselves have no fucking clue because theyve been pretending for so long theyve forgotten who they are when theyre not

[taxidermy-tuesday]

breaking news: mirabelle in stars and time declared cutest person ever, no objections

[annabelle--cane]

stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation with the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.

@askoverkill It is here!! Part 1 and Part 2 are together for Final Bow on AO3!! Enjoy!

Trigger Warnings: Suicide, Self-Hatred, Mention of previous torture, and toxic relationships.

Summary:

The Director is "defeated" in a sense. The party brings her to the Wonder Well on zir request.

Of course, Loop is there.

What happens when the end happens for the first time in years? How do you truly end the perfect play?

(Or an Overkill AU 'what-if' fic)

[pillowspace]

What if after Loop ate the star, they instead got sent back to be Mirabelle's guide at the start of her journey to fetch the orbs

[pillowspace]

Mirabelle: did the Change God send you? To help me?

Loop: ew lol. While I am here to help you, I have nothing to do with them, no

Mirabelle: (what do they mean ew??)

[pillowspace]

Loop's mood completely dips after the party meets Siffrin and the party can't figure out what's wrong with the starry companion they've been travelling with. Loop forgot how replaceable they were until a head of lightless dyed hair beneath a darkless hat showed up with a flourish of a dagger that they haven't held in quite some time

[pillowspace]

Mirabelle: we'd all like you to join us on our journey to defeat the King. If!!! You'd be okay with that!!

Siffrin, glancing at the star glowering at them with a cloud of depression from behind Mirabelle: uh

[pillowspace]

Loop accidentally snaps whatever they're holding the first time Siffrin makes a joke that makes Isabeau laugh. All these little moments that had been special to Loop, and they're not theirs, not theirs, not theirs. They're an audience member for the play of their own life, having handed the lead role to someone else to say their lines and play their part.

Loop, of course, doesn't recognize that the party loves them just as much as when they had been Siffrin.

[pillowspace]

*leaning into writing down my thoughts fanfic style* It's weird. In a life that felt too old by now to have been theirs, Loop had been one of the last people to join the party. Now they know what Mirabelle's crestfallen face looks like when the defenders won't help her. Now they know the relief, when one defender stands up for what's right. Now they know how Odile's eyes can land on both Mirabelle and Isabeau without a trace of recognition. It feels a bit like cheating. They've gone behind the curtain. They should be used to time travel, of course, it's just... different. Unlike Dormont, they hadn't been here for any of this.

Further down the line, the party is of course extremely aware of the fact that Loop has Been Through Things. It's not easy to hide. Everyone keeps trying to subtly drag them into feelings talks, even Odile, which probably says nothing good about their flimsy attempts to dismiss the others' concerns.

Oh, Odile should confide in Isabeau and Loop that she thinks Siffrin is an assassin, it would be really funny. Imagine Loop taking that in completely sober.

[pillowspace]

Loop is lucky that they hit Mirabelle of all people with the "hm, let's go with... Loop." She probably just assumed that they had gone through a recent Change (which, sorta) and hadn't picked out a name yet. Loop cannot use time looping as a reason if asked for why they chose that, and from then on, Mirabelle just introduces them to anyone else with a confident "this is Loop," so there is nothing to ask.

[4amtoasttm]

This has been brewing in my head for a while with quite a few ideas but I'll try to keep it short for my sake: (act 5 spoilers below)

The Loops still happen but maybe Loop doesn't loop with siffrin sooo Loop friendquest and Loop gets an act 5 part.

Loop always figures out that siffrin is looping

the friendquest is either finding out who loop is and/or "bonding" (closest thing to a break siffrin's gonna get) over information found in the loops and the loops in general (ex. home)

act 5 is siffrin laying loop out bare: telling them all about their insecurities, flaws, fears, and such then ending it by calling them siffrin instead of loop. (this collectively results in Loop getting "stunlocked" and the most siffrin-like you'll ever see them act)

Loop ends up at the favor tree due in act 5 not waiting to be near anyone and recollect their self (also an excuse to give siffrin time to storm the House before loop says anything)

Siffrin's and Loop's relationship is just beginning to turn into something good but after the loops their practically inseparable (probably after some time together after the loops and shared understanding)

And this is just a bit before to a bit after the loops and is if Loop doesn't loop with siffrin imagine what a pre cannon would be like or if Loop well looped with siffrin

[pillowspace]

Oooh, I had considered the possibility of a Loop friend quest, but I had forgotten that Loop would also have an Act 5 scene! Fun!

[pillowspace]

My initial idea of Dormont was that Loop would be looping alongside Siffrin, but honestly I'm getting kinda attached to the idea of Loop not remembering the loops due to not being Siffrin's guide in this au. It makes it more different from canon. Loop, of course, always knows that Siffrin is looping. Every time Siffrin leaves from their nap, Loop tries to judge how far in he is based on his expression and posture. I'd like to imagine Loop sometimes does something completely different depending on the loop (being aware of a time loop can make you less predictable in one) and it perplexes Siffrin for awhile

[chronologically-challenged]

Consider: Loop being shocked when they realize Siffrin is looping and They Aren't. Every loop. Even if they react differently to other things in the loop, they will always have to deal with that realization.

[lee-quiche]

heheee silly isafrin animatic ⋆｡°✦

[beneathsilverstars]

vaugardian backhanded nicety of "I hope you change a lot before we meet again :)"

[beneathsilverstars]

"may the change god visit them" to imply that divine intervention from a famously lazy god is more likely than the subject of your gossip changing on their own

[beneathsilverstars]

"they change like the seasons" referring to someone who cycles through the same changes without trying anything new

[beneathsilverstars]

and of course there would be plenty of "wow, that's.. different!" and such

[chronologically-challenged]

You have an exit wound where your heart should be.

[youreturnhome]

the fact that siffrin doesn’t remember their real name hurts me… not that “siffrin” isn’t a real name for him either, and i don’t always agree that the name given at birth is one’s real name (we don’t know if the name siffrin went by on the island even was their birth name, or if they’d already changed it by the time they left), but the point is he never chose to discard that old name. it was forgotten, taken by force like so much else of their childhood. do you ever think about this. i can’t stop thinking about this

[firefly464]

Is this anything

[rainfallsuphere]

I propose an addition

[parchmentengineer]

Been thinking about this graph a little (actually been thinking about it a lot)

[firefly464]

OH THIS IS BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ

[alto-tenure]

thinking about this as I write an AU where ISAT is a many-worlds

[annabelle--cane]

tragedy protagonist categories:

yknow what yeah I think that's just about how anyone would react in this situation. fair enough.

alright this isn't how just Anyone would behave in this situation but I'm humble enough to admit that there have been times in my life when I was doing badly enough that I'd probably also fumble it like this

babygirl what the hell are you even doing

[pillowspace]

Let's hold hands through the meadows and read Overkill AU at @askoverkill then be normal together, okay yay ♡

[askoverkill]

[Overkill is made by Pedro and Sam]

transcript below:

(WHAT.) (WHAT WAS THAT.)

(THE DIRECTOR IS ANOTHER YOU?!)

(HAHAHAAA!!!!!!!) (And you thought YOU were self-absorbed!)

(Stars, you need to talk to Loop!)

Siffrin, you're-

Can't talk.

...?

No.

O-Oh-!

Loop?!

Shut up, shut up!?! Did you not hear blinding hear me?

But the Director, he's-

LOOP 51

And now back to our regular program.
