I liked this post, scrolled for like another minute before I went “SHIT FUCK SHIT” and scrolled back to reblog it
I always reblog this one when I see it on my dash. When someone posts their own art, writing, or music here they are really hoping you will share it.
"you gotta play with the cards you're dealt" WRONG. i play pot of greed which lets me draw two additional cards from my deck
Pot of greed’s a card tho…
Pick one.
what my brain apparently thinks will happen if i draw one of my mutuals ocs
AUs where someone other than Siffrin gets stuck in the loops are so fascinating to me because like. we have no idea what a non-looping Siffrin would be like past the Death Corridor. Like, we can assume his mental health would comparatively be doing a lot better, but it's not like he'd just... stay the same the whole time, either. Especially since, remember, it's his job to look out for traps and keys and the group cannot progress if he misses something. And he always misses something the first time around.
Which, in this situation, means that Siffrin will miss the same things, every single time.
So whoever's looping would probably, at some point, start helping to look for stuff, and maybe even get impatient with having Siffrin lead them around all the time, when he doesn't know where to go nearly as well as the person looping. And oh boy, wouldn't that have some fun effects on their perception of themself and their role in the group.
(Granted, they have to be asked by Odile to lead the group through the House, they even seem a little exasperated by it, but unless whoever's looping counteracts that, they're gonna be leading at the start no matter what. Trying to take that away from him after the fact would be... A Situation.)
And of course, de-centering them from the protagonist position puts them in an inherently different light. It's interesting; Siffrin feels like he wasn't meant to be the protagonist, because that's clearly Mirabelle, but at the same time, I feel like anyone else looping would be like. fighting him the whole way for that position. And it all comes down to the fact that Siffrin leads the party. Siffrin will be asked by the King, every time, if they remember.
Siffrin will, probably, still throw himself in the line of fire when the party loses to a Sadness, putting him in the role of "the one who the time looper has to watch die the most."
Plus, you can do so much with how the time loops interact with the main character's personality, the same way they did with Siffrin. Like, assuming it works under the same rules as "time loops back whenever you feel like you can't continue," what would make the others feel that way? Probably not the exact same things as Siffrin, because Siffrin catastrophizes to a degree that most of the others probably do not, so you get to come up with all sorts of brand new, harrowing scenarios to put them in.
Fun stuff! I love seeing it! Please don't worry about making a story like this just because you might think it's redundant, we can always use more!
Wait actually Siffrin would be SO much more annoying to deal with because he's the one who starts the tutorial. You would have to interrupt him or something every single time if you wanted to skip it.
And he would probably ask questions about all the different key designs, too, if you didn't find some way to hurry things along. They're always inspecting things and because everyone pays attention to what they're doing, that prompts a lot of additional conversations that a time looper would probably not have the patience for, either.
Buuuut, if you stomp on his curiosities enough times, if you keep making him think he's annoying you by saying things, by asking questions... you would probably end up with a very quiet, very unhappy Siffrin. A Siffrin who decides to just shut up, never confront you about it, and just grin and bear it. Because that's being helpful, right? That's what their friends want from them now?
Which. in a horrible, ironic twist. does actually make things more convenient. And you just know, whoever's going through these loops, they HATE it when that realization goes through their head. How could they think that about their friend! How could they possibly think it's better for him to be unhappy!! Just because it saves some time?? What is wrong with them???
It's kinder to just offer to lead instead at the beginning of a loop. But it might not be faster, depending on how that conversation plays out. I honestly don't know how Siffrin would take that, but I feel like it would sort of become an equivalent to reminding Mirabelle about the CARROT method every loop out of pure habit and reflex, which is. so juicy

>Sent a friend fan art of a game character shes obsessed with dressed as a sanitary towel and its the longest conversation we've had in a decade
Does that mean something different in England, or is the fact that they're dressed as a menstrual product the reason you had a long conversation, or is it some third thing that may or may not make more sense?
Boomers and gen X dismantled the society that was safe enough for kids to play outside unsupervised all day.
"Your son will take your throne from you," they prophesized, spitting each word out of teeth clenched tight with hatred. Why they'd bother prophesizing such an event befuddles you; your son is literally your chosen heir, after all.
Years later, you realize what the prophets meant. For most of your life your son was your pride and joy; an academic, who would surely lead the kingdom into greater health and wellness. Until he committed the ultimate act of betrayal.
"You will not take my throne from me!" You cling to your grand chair so hard your knuckles turn white.
Your son sighs. "Dad. Dad it's lead-"
"Of course it's lead! It's a strong metal, signifying the strength of our country- this throne has been passed down the royal line for 300 years, 15 rulers before me-"
"That is not enough time for that many people!" Your son throws his hands up in the air. "Because it is lead! It is poisoning you! Didn't you wonder why grandpa died at 40?"
"Ah, pfoo! That's the ancestral curse."
"It's the throne! The throne is the ancestral curse!!!"
the son successfully convinces his father to give up the lead throne. he lives and rules peacefully for much longer than his family’s previous generations, dying in his third score.
the son, upon coronation, receives his own prophecy: “your daughter will tear your castle to the ground.”
now, this is a bit more of a cause for immediate concern, but unlike kings of old, he decides that the best way to avoid this surely gruesome future is to love his daughter the best he can, encourage her interests, and guide her with a steady hand - if she is to ruin his kingdom, after all, then let it be with iron will and care for the people.
his daughter is not violent at all, will only hunt if they promise the kitchens will cook what is killed and will give some to the people, and only takes a passing fancy in swordsmanship (which he thinks is more to do with the jawline of the instructor, not that he says anything). she loves to study and read, and when she asks to go for further education in a different corner of the kingdom, he allows it.
after one year, she returns, and spends the first week back acting shifty. she is always caught ducking out of corners and hidden passages, whispering with staff, and pouring over old maps of the castle layout in the library, hurriedly covering them up when anyone passes.
he privately gets his affairs in order.
two weeks after her return, the king’s daughter approaches her father with a steely look in her eye and a grim set to her jaw.
“father,” she begins, “what do you know of asbestos?”
I'm pretty on board with the headcanon that what Link gets out of being the bearer of the Triforce of Courage is the power of being a video game protagonist, but I genuinely can't decide whether it would be funnier if he's 100% aware of how much bullshit his everything is, or if he honestly doesn't realise.
Like, does he know that normal people can't recover from life-threatening wounds in a matter of minutes by drinking a jar of really good soup? It's the sort of thing you'd assume would be obvious just from being around other human beings, and yet.
The fact that Breath of the Wild Link's laser-parrying trick is something that only works for him is made explicit in the dialogue, so presumably he's at least aware that it's exceptional, but does he understand that it's complete bullshit, or does he think it's just a skill issue?
Link: No, that's fair, if I fuck up the timing I have to eat a laser to the chest and that is, understandably, extremely painful, so I don't recommend you practice this unless you're really confident about your timing.
Random Guard:...Link people die if they take those to the chest.
Link: I mean you should be angling yourself, i'm not saying to just let your sternum take a whole blow, to just take it square, that's a terrible idea
Random Guard: It explodes rocks.
Link: You have armor for a reason my guy.
Random Guard: ...
Link: If it helps, drinking some fire resist potions has proven to be moderately effective for me.
Random Guard: The Ones you apply to your skin?
Link: What
Random Guard: What
