do you think the Change God would be more pissed if Siffrin was in a second torment nexus because King no longer has Vaugarde frozen in time and therefore for literally everyone else time moves on but Bambouche is basically Dormont 2

spoilers below

i'm fairly certain Change God loved the break but also hated seeing Vaugarde frozen, but Siffrin's whole play with the Universe was enough to keep them satisfied

but since there's literally no reason for Siffrin to be trapped in a torment nexus (lying) then they're gonna be a bit more upset about it if Siffrin somehow goes to meet them again

what do you mean there's a second torment nexus. - siffrin, probably

hello again.

i don't normally come here unless i have something to yap about.

but i do.

something i think the ISaT community will love dearly for their poor traumatized little time looper.

ISAT SPOILERS. CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK.

i've got a mod/fanmade sequel in the works for ISaT mostly because Adrienne said "it's your turn" and i took that to heart, especially because i too have RPG Maker MV and she didn't lock up all the assets and encrypt 'em all like OMORI did, and even then, it was basically just replacing some assets in order to mod it.

i MAY make it a proper ISaT mod that does a similar procedure to what some OMORI mods do in that you just replace assets, but i MAY straight up make it it's own separate thing to clarify that it wouldn't be infringing on canon? and also so you preserve your save data and whatnot? i'm not quite sure what i'll do

but i'll tell you a story

some people in Vaugarde are well aware that they're not the only people, and love exploring other countries, and, prior to the King's Curse locking everybody up in Vaugarde, there was a researcher/historian of other cultures that is in the (noncanon) lighthouse on the coast of Bambouche

his name is Johansson, and he studied the Country, and Mwudu, and all neighboring countries to Vaugarde, learning from the people who came from those countries, and even some visitation himself

and he loved journaling his experiences

he made notes, and documents, recording his retelling of his tales of travel

and then

the Country was lost

and he was in despair, losing so much work, so much of his understanding

but he remembers

the Universe

the Universe could help those who wished!

and so, he studied all he could about the Universe, giving himself headaches over and over, time, and time again, but he learned how to wish! he remembered tiny bits and pieces, as hard as it was, but he began to understand!

and then he was frozen, watching a child run off into the forest, he couldn't get down in time

i wonder...

i feel like i'm going insane here. i'm going insane. i'm losing it. i'm going insane. i can't tell if i got followed by one of Adrienne's lurking blogs or something but she has blessed me. i will later tell my tales of woe when i actually get out of bed. but.

@insertdisc5 thank you. i want to humbly request if i can confer with you regarding your characters at some point because i may or may not have a fixation on making my fanworks be as close-to or as compatible with canon as possible.

good news, everyone. it's official. a demo of Clockwork Orrery will be made with one (1) secret event. nobody asked for that event but it's going to be in there. have fun finding it, once i uh. once i make it.

for those interested, and don't care about spoiling yourselves a little:

to tide you guys over, here's what my Obsidian bubble vault thingy looks like. as you can see, i'm trying to account for most, if not every, event within ISaT that could be considered a story relevant event for Clockwork Orrery.

my life over the past week working on Clockwork Orrery

[scuggle]

going through ISaT's code and plugins is fun.

how it feels working on Clockwork Orrery and checking all the different dialogue paths in ISaT and SAAP to make the most cohesive and "drop-in" fanon imaginable to potentially make insertdisc5 question her sanity as to whether a fan made this or she made this in her sleep or something
