hi just thinking about how cb!apo was fumbling her way around an axe and completely missing half her targets, which were tree trunks btw. vs v!apo, who kills v!scott with an axe no less than four times, there's something here but i can't articulate it

I think I'm going Insane or I connected the dots

In the Stanley Parable original mod we have the red and blue door option but in this one if you choose the red one instead of getting the Zending we get the ending we know today as the Apartment ending, Narrator tells us about how we are always told what to do and how it's going to lead us to eventually dying

but here's the interesting part about that, in the original version of the game do you know who else gets a door with the color red? You guessed it !

Stanley !

Well you can take this both ways (or more ! it's jus the interpretations I personally was able to get out of this)

Either as just a little smart callback to it

or

You can interpret it in a more deep sense of why Stanley has a red door, because just like Narrator told us we will always follow the orders by the end of the day, we might've gone trought the left door and pressed the elevator to go down we STILL went trough the red door and no matter what happens we will wake up in the morning and go to work

No matter what we do we will always end up going trough the red door.

Stanley's and Narrator's need for each other

I had this idea yesterday when I was tired let me explain.

The epilogue is specifically very emotional to me but I couldnt catch exactly why of course you can say it's the stanley button its the years that went by with the narrator being alone but I disagree, and to explain i will come back to one of the first endings you'd probably get playing TSPUD, the museum ending, in that ending Curator tells us two important things:

*the game does not end, no matter what you choose what happens to Stanley will be meaningless always

*Stanley and Narrator wish to detroy each other, but most importantly they need each other

This is quite shocking at first, or at least I remeber I felt that way when I saw that ending for the first time back in 2019, it's supposed to tell something and it's VERY straightforward, but that idea is still pretty much shown, only that it's not being told to us, it's being shown instead.

They need each other for the scape pod to work, they need to be both there for the story to work, but, I dare say they need each other in a personal level as well, the epilogue happens after the skip button ending, we don't know exactly when it only says it's been many years, but Stanley, not us, not the player, Stanley, he walks trough the desert for days, we don't have a choice here, we can walk any direction we want Stanley will still get to a differet part of the desert, he's doing it because he wants to, when we finally see the memory zone, that's where he wanted to go, we can't go anywhere else, the door does not close behind us we want to be in there at that moment, then you find the buttons, and of course in your first time you think all of them say jim till you hit the last one, and it says Stanloey.

Narrator told us, the first time, when they both were at the expo that he didn't want to go trough the trouble of making a button that actually said the player's name but he did one for Stanley (see this as a reach if you want XD) whether he ever planned to show Stanley or not we shall never know, but the important thing is that HE made that button that said stanley's name, he did it for one mroe person even though at first he thought it was too much work, after that Stanloey looks at the computer buried under the memory zone, and after it we can hit start, and everything is normal again. This feels important and emotional, because they don't say anything not a single word is uttered about it but Stanley went with the trouble of walking trough thjat desert for who knows how long so he could maybe find where narrator was, only to find the button that the thing Narrator said he wouldn't put effort that said his name, Narrator also needed Stanley, so he made that button, and Stanley needed Narrator, so he found the memory zone.

I love the idea of Stanley being a little guy but it’s not in the cute way it’s in the same way a cat looks at you during the night and when you use your flashlight on him to get a better look you can only see his eyes glowing in the dark
