assassiffrin's odile hangout is complicated a little by the fact she's lowkey been onto him from the beginning
so! assassiffrin euphrasie!
this siffrin, having known the favor tree ritual was wish craft for a while now, would've found the head housemaiden's notebook pretty early on. he didn't see much point in trying to follow up on that lead at first, though - nothing has changed her script before, so why should this?
but eventually, after exhausting every other lead he can think of, siffrin finally asks, and is surprised to find they can snap her out of it! and as a nice bonus, he learns why euphrasie keeps apologizing to someone she knew had been working for the king! turns out, it's because she knew there was no escape from the timeloop! that they'd be trapped forever! that vaugarde's wish could never be fixed!
isn't that nice! it's good to have answers!
(because it was supposed to be her, or mirabelle, or some other vaugardian! they didn't do it wrong - differently maybe, but odile's wish still came true - so it must be another wish, a wish from someone who didn't want mirabelle to succeed, a wish that messed with the wishes of all vaugardians and placed siffrin at the center of their story!)
(gosh, i wonder whose wish you could argue meets that description?)

continuing assassiffrin act 5!
assassiffrin's loop hangout!
Some sketches about Siffrin and Loop fighting post game
I feel like their reunion would be very emotional and awesome and whatnot, but then, the day to day… hoo boy, they’d constantly trigger eachother I think. Not on purpose! But I can see them really running on eachother’s nerves. Mostly because of their individual trauma, how they overlap and crucially, how they DON’T always overlap. Clash, even! And I think they should throw hands to release that tension! It’s healthy for them! Trust!
(I wrote a fic about one of their later fights some time ago)
Bonus sketches under the read more, won’t clean those up, I need to stop worrying about things being clean otherwise I’ll never share <3
sketched out some designs for a dumb roleswap au i've been thinking about... i'm probably not gonna do much with this, so, infodump under the cut
i think its important to remember that through all of his mental illness and memory problems and trauma siffrin is, indisputably, a little shit. they mixed all the partys potions into a 'super potion' and watched isabeau drink it. he gave bonnie water and told them it was vodka. they cheat at checkers. hes a little shit
Whos doing the lighting in your isat stage au thing?
Mirabelle, Odile, Isabeau and Siffrin all have their tasks when it comes to lights!
Siffrin and Isabeau handle the work on the actual stage with focusing the lights, and Mirabelle and Odile give instructions on what to do from above and program the lightboard. Odile wouldn't be caught alive on a ladder after all. But my immediate thought was "Loop IS the light" so here is a silly doodle under the cut of our "spirit of the theatre" teehee.... (fun fact, the drawing of the stage is from something else I was drawing- I'm planning to doodle dump later today or tomorrow depending if I get to draw a bit more
More theatre stuff! I've started to put all the theatre doodles I do under a tag called "isat curtain call" because I wanted to be organized lol
MIRABELLE! Mirabelle is kind of a powerhouse at the theatre. She acts in a lot of the plays they put on (and gets really nervous before going on stage). She has lots of folks who are her neighbors or friends who attend shows and always overwhelm her with tons of flowers. She appreciates it but it can be a bit much! She's always around to help- She will show up for set construction, set decor, lighting design... anything- and all on top of acting! She's even the theatre's health and safety rep! (the little bit at the bottom is inspired by true events... yeah...)
Bonnie!! Bonnie started volunteering with the theatre recently after coming to see a pantomime for Peter Pan. They love to help out with the snack bar, and even wear nice clothing for the shows to look all professional. They also usher sometimes! All with adult supervision of course. They are allowed to come help with set decor (painting the set!) but NOT set construction. They sometimes convince their older sister to stop by the theatre when everyone else is working to drop off homemade goodies. They also like to hang out in the sound/light booth, the stage looks so different from up there! They're close with Odile, who shows them a ton of stuff. They hope that sometime they can also start doing the light cues during a show. They don't want to work near Siffrin backstage, even though that's something they could perhaps start doing now.
Sometimes... it feels like there's something in the theatre, hanging out in the catwalks, judging silently. Maybe... someone... But if you turn around to see them, they're gone! The theatre might be haunted, who knows. That seems the most plausible theory... Siffrin tends to spend a lot of time on the catwalks as well. Perhaps he'd know more about this mysterious spirit of the theatre?
The Spirit of the Theatre! (Loop!) They're always around. They're actually convinced that they're not able to leave the theatre. The hat? They stole it from the costume room! It makes hiding that glow ever so easy- Sometimes they steal coats or matching robes from there, just to make hiding easier. They're so knowledgeable in all things theatre, especially the theatre the group operates out of. Sometimes they spend their time alone at the theatre straightening up the props room or making sure all the actor's props and costumes are in their proper places. It really seems like they consider themselves an integral (and invisible) part of the team. They like to watch from afar, that's all. Meeting Siffrin was an accident, one that The Spirit of the Theatre couldn't avoid. Now they have to deal with Siffrin coming to talk to them often, even looking for advice. It's unclear how long they've been there, and when asked for a name, will only say they're the "Spirit of the Theatre."
And that's it from me today I promise I am normal lol I am having fun watching this all form in front of my eyes a little. It's mostly silly goofy stuff and as much as I'd love to stick to canon best I can, I may have to fiddle with it to get it to make sense... especially for Loop :) but if you have any ideas or stuff my inbox is so open I love talking about this- these drawings were stacked up from the last couple of days just me preparing to post... teehee!!
Isat Cooking Headcanons!
Everyone knows that Bonnie is the Chef Cooker of all time. But how does everyone else fare in (or outside?) the kitchen?
Mirabelle! Mirabelle can cook, but she works better with a written recipe with clear instructions. Unfortunately, Vauguardian cooks tend to measure with the heart and the few cookbooks that have been published are often vague on the details. People are encouraged to change a recipe to fit their needs/tastes. Doubly-Unfortunately, she didn't exactly have the time to grab a recipe book when fleeing the King. She's doing her best though!
Isabeau! A bit better at the technical side of cooking than Mirabelle, and has an easier time making meals for everyone but… and it pains me to say this… he's a city boy in vaguely medieval fantasy France, has the spice tolerance of a newborn lamb, and is a literal body builder. His meals are nutritional, functional and simple - flavourful they are not. Think white rice, boiled chicken and broccoli with a pinch of salt - the tastiest thing he knows how to make is a ham and cheese sandwich. Can barbecue though! IDK how.
Odile! Can she cook? Irrelevant, because she won't. It's a stressful, laborious process and none of the flavours she enjoys in Ka Bue are easily available in Vauguarde without being horrendously overpriced. And why should she waste her time with it when she has a gaggle of oversized children more than willing to do it for her? Is more likely to pay for restaurants or stock up cooking materials than cook for other people - does make a mean cup of tea though. And she's not above buying expensive food items for the party as a roundabout apology. Very, VERY occasionally will make an intricate Ka Buan breakfast or desert for the others if she's in a particularly good mood or if her party members are in a particularly bad one.
Siffrin! Is actually a very able cook, especially on a budget/travelling. Can make a pretty filling and tasty meal out of pretty much anything: great at scavenging, hunting small game and fishing. (I mean, they've been on their own since they were a late teen of COURSE they can take care of themselves.) Before Bonnie showed up, they'd usually disappear whilst Mira or Isa cooked and suddenly reappear just before food was served, ominously holding a side dish. Very resourceful - BUT. They should NOT be allowed free reign in a fully stocked kitchen. Not because they can't cook - they can - but because Mx. Siffrin Mix-all-of-the-potions-together-to-make-a-SUPER-potion-and-almost-blow-off-their-eyebrows No-Last-Name would take one look at all the ingredients, go crazy with the possibilities, and get to work crafting 'everymeat soup'.
Only Isabeau is lovesick brave enough to try the everymeat soup. He will immediately regret trying the everymeat soup.
This is how team checkers went, right?

Part 9
I accidentally made too many so get ready for a double post lol
When you're used to Waking Up signaling the start of a loop
Loop but they actually have a secret mouth (they don't know that though) and just don't need to eat anymore.
Loop figuring out how to use their star head to blind people on purpose (they only used to do it on accident) and immediately use it to blind someone when that person says/does something they don't like.
Loop finally figuring out they have a mouth when Bonnie tries to feed them food and Loop goes "well it wouldn't hurt to try" (they miss Bonnie's cooking *cough*) and actually takes a bite out of it.
The first thing Loop does after discovering they have a mouth is turn around and bite Siffrin. And then bite him again. This becomes a biting war. Nobody knows if it's serious or playful.
Loop becoming the best way to ambush a sadness by blinding it and then immediately biting it (possibly to death). The rest of the group (Isabeau, Mirabelle, Bonnie, and Odile) stares at Loop, then at Siffrin, and go 'Yeah, we're gonna need more stuff for these two to chew on.' 'You guys really shouldn't be biting Sadnesses?? We don't know what they've touched???' 'Wow that seems like something Frin would do' '... Huh.'
Cue both Siffrin and Loop sweating nervously.
had the thought of an "everyone is looping Except for siffrin" au with a mean twist bc i love pain and i dont want to write a whole fic w this premise lmao
Some 40-50 loops in with no significant progress re the "figuring out how to escape the loop" bit, the party experiences a particularly infuriating loop where Siffrin dies in a Very preventable way (maybe everyone was too busy theory-crafting to remember the rock trap)
And someone snaps at them at the beginning of the next loop, in a sort of diet act 5 situation because they're upset at having to watch him die so often/frustrated at him for slowing them down and hindering their progress by being "careless" (that is to say, not caring for their own safety).
And when someone else tries to calm them down, like "Hey, i get you're upset, but don't take this out on him, he doesn't understand what you're even upset about, he's still a person, he's your friend" they're like "Lay off me, it's not like he's going to remember it anyways, he doesn't remember anything" (that is to say, the loops).
...And while the person who snapped is arguing with the rest of the party, Siffrin slips away, dazed. Because, it's not like they didn't already know all that. But there was a part of them that had. Sort of hoped it was in their own head. Or that he was overthinking it. It hurts worse than he expected to have it confirmed.
They need to go somewhere quiet to calm down. The field is right in the view of the party, they don't want to go to the clocktower when everyone will be converging there later anyways, so they end up under the Favour Tree, just sort of quietly shaking and losing his shit until the sun starts to go down, and he catches sight of a leaf, also shaking, also tattered, also full of holes in all the places that matter--and aren't you supposed to make wishes under a Favour Tree?
Their party deserves someone better. Someone who won't blind it up all the time. Who's a complete person. Who isn't careless (that is to say, who cares more about their friends, who can care enough not to be so useless). Who won't hinder their progress. Who can remember (their past, their life, where they're from, how to be a person, how to be worth keeping around, anything, anything!!!).
Who can at least remember enough to know what he did! To know why their friends suddenly hate them...!
Remember, remember, remember.
The next day, Isabeau plunges his hand into a tear right in front of them without even flinching.
...And then they wake up in the field again, with the memory of Isabeau's exhausted expression as he froze in time imprinted on the back of their eyelids.
(You've been given a chance to learn from your mistakes and be useful to your party again, Siffrin. Best not to let them know--they're stressed enough as is dealing with this situation without having to explain everything to you. You'll be fine--you just have to get up to speed without acting suspicious. Or, even better, you can figure out how to save everyone on your own.)
(Then you'll be loved again.)
(Don't blind it up this time.)
i’ve seen plenty of alt-looper AUs where sapfrin’s wish resulted in someone else looping, assisted by starry loop. and i’ve seen plenty where isatfrin or one of their party members made some kind of wish that resulted in additional people remembering the loops.
but
how about an au where sapfrin’s wish resulted in someone else looping, while sapfrin remained in the role of siffrin? either now there’s two loopers in the party, or, the ability to remember new loops is what transferred, so siffrin wakes up every time with their last memory being the wish for help.
this siffrin is just so ground down and not siffrin anymore. but without becoming loop, they’d keep trying to act the part, which is easy enough when they’ve got a script, but… the more the other looper switches things up, the more siffrin will struggle. the other looper will want to help them, but what can even be done when they're still stuck in the loops??
if siffrin still remembers new loops, then they have to keep going through the fucking house even after they reached their breaking point. but at least there’s hope now? but is there really? and now, for the first time in years, they have to deal with someone else being able to remember their actions, and this person knows about the time loops. siffrin definitely isn’t going to be jumping to confide in them, despite how desperately they need the help — will they even tell them that they’d been looping for ages already?? even if they try not to, it’ll eventually become obvious something is going on.
or if siffrin doesn’t remember new loops anymore… how would the new looper handle it? how many times do they explain that they’re looping now instead before they stop bothering with it? or does not explaining means siffrin freaks out too much at the looper abandoning the script entirely for no apparent reason? but there’s no way they won’t freak out upon learning that they’ve just doomed someone else to live out this hell in their stead, that’s quite the news to have to break every single time. perhaps there’s an in-between that would work?? lying about what’s changed, or following the script until they suddenly deviate, then immediately loop back once done with the deviation? they have all the time they need to workshop it, at least.
either way, this siffrin is probably gonna be even less help than loop was. at least loop got to chill out at the favor tree and think — siffrin doesn't have that luxury. and while the new looper will be bringing in a fresh perspective, they simply don't know the things one needs to know about siffrin in order to figure out these siffrin-based loops. and, at this point, siffrin might not anymore either! it's been years since they made their wish. that doesn't make it unsolvable, especially since it's possible to get out by pure chance. but it'll be hard, especially since siffrin has even more intense reactions than isatfrin, as evidenced by them not even making it to euphrasie before looping back.
what a fun little bad time for everyone ^^
