what if i threw them in the hk-ifier. what then

[waywardstation]

Your art makes it look like Ingo has a dad bod and I am living for it

Thanks Anon!! Haha someone called it an uncle bod once and I’m sticking with that.

Ingo blames his partiality to sweet things, and once Akari came around, she only enabled this by bringing him a bunch of snack foods from space-time distortions for them to share. He doesn’t have the metabolism of a highly-active teenager like Akari does!!

duelling artblock in a swordfight so

Some skills for Snacktime Siffrin !!

"Strike!" and "Fight back!" are offensive skills, while "(Focus.)", "(Glare.)" and "Get away!" are support skills.

I got rid of the pun aspect of canon siffrin's skill names, since Bonnie doesnt seem to like their puns, therefore they're not making as many puns as ISAT frin (totally not an excuse for me not being able to make puns teehee teehee)

If you have questions for the Snacktime AU, please ask away !! i dont bite!!

more notes below vv

(ISAT spoilers !!)

"Strike!"

Deals SCISSORS damage to one enemy, Might lower enemy's DEFENSE. 2 turn cooldown.

The reason why the name is only "Strike!" is because i really dont know how to make names GHHG.

I also imagine that this Siffrin is quieter than normal, so they dont speak much either when using skills (as i imagine the skills that around covered by "()" are being said.)

"Fight back!"

Deals big SCISSORS damage to every enemy 2 times. Heightens chance for Bonnie to attack. 4 turn cooldown.

Another thing is that I want to add in is, Siffrin making quick comments that they might have said or done before. like "Fight back" referring to fighting back when they get attacked, or so on.

It'll make more sense if i ever get the energy to make the comics/drawings i promise GHGH.

(Focus.)

Boosts CritChance, but lowers ATKSPD for the turn. 2 turn cooldown.

taking the "(Breathe.)" mechanic from act 5, but making it weaker, thats it

The signature "Breathe in, breathe out." that Siffrin has!!

The reason it lowers Attack speed for a turn is because they're trying to focus by breathing, and i headcanon they close their eyes when they do their signature breathe in breathe out. So an enemy might be quick to use that one turn to get an attack in.

(Glare.)

Scare enemies. Lower opponent's ATK. 1 turn cooldown.

spooky scary siffrins send shivers down your spine /silly /ref

Inspired by act 5 ISAT Siffrin aswell! I imagine that Siffrin would use this skill alot, even outside of battle. Who knows what might attack them when they're not on guard? Better safe than sorry.

Feral cat Frin. thats what i imagine this siffrin to be best described as, and the glare skill makes it more obvious /silly

"Get away!"

Give themselves a SPD boost. Heightens chance for Bonnie to attack. 2 turn cooldown.

Another quick comment from Siffrin!

They use this outside of battle aswell, but they mostly used it when it was only them and Bonnie.

When the skill is used, and Bonnie is in the battle, they also get a speed boost but i didnt add that in the description since bonnie isnt usually in battles. They mostly used this to flee from strong sadnesses, but now they're using it more to fight.

There was going to be a 6th one, but it'll come up in the future. Maybe. You'll see :']

HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY SIFFRIN!!

2 days late, but better late than nothing ? (im so sorry siffrin. comically large rocks be upon me.)

i am so distraught i couldnt make birthday art for siffarooni when it was their actual birthday, so 2 day late doodles. mosquito of doom and agony bit my wrist, then my wrist became overworked so i couldn't draw, THEN i forgot.

well siffrin isnt the greatest at remembering either so /silly

[eldritch-shyknee]

piggyback :']

(hello if you see this. this is an au, and i am going to yap about it below. :heart:) ISAT spoilers below!!

welcome to my yap session if you have pressed this.

This is the Snacktime AU ! (name placeholder atm)

Short summary of it all, this AU is basically Siffrin never having found the party at first, only Bonnie.

While Siffrin was wandering, they found Bonnie and took the exhausted child along, even though they BARELY had resources to take care of themselves. so they actually have to care for someone now!! oh stars!!

The reason they didnt wander into the saviours? Probably was running errands for money instead of resting out in the wilderness.

Siffrin's hair is still black in the image above because there is no mirabelle to tell them they like their hair (still mostly white because they stopped getting dye for their hair, they need to save up the money because they also arent apart of the saviours !!)

Some more doodles (and yapping :'])

we like to imagine siffrin subconciously rubs their arms together like in act 5 because they ABSOLUTELY do not like touch for a specific reason in this au.

They're fine with Bonnie touching them though, as long as they are warned - Both of them can just tell with a single glance if the other if fine with touch - Wasn't always like this though !

They figure out that Siffrin doesn't like touch pretty quickly though !!

By comparing Frin to Nille.

Bonnie also learnt the speech patterns that Siffrin uses. Now they have to deal with Bonnie saying crabface AND blinding stars. Oh stars.

The scar on Bonnie's face and shoulder is an oil burn. Siffrin unfortunately wasnt fast enough to take the damage from that, so they atleast have those scars to prove how strong they are!! (what do you mean they still aren't allowed to fight)

Why does Siffrin have the eye scar?

Orbm,,,, :)

(this au has had so many variations that we lost count. eventually we decided on finding the orb to add onto the angst.)

They encounter a boss sadness while wandering into an abandoned town with the orb, and they defended Bonnie from the sadness. Just like the original game !!

Except there was noone else around to help heal it except Bonnie so the scar is MUCH more noticable. Bonnie is VERY upset about it, but there is noone else to cower behind.

Why did they take the orb with them? Feels cold and familiar. doesnt threaten to freeze them in time

Do they meet/join the party?

Yyessss? no? Complicated.

If they joined the party, it would just end up as ISAT but with siffrin being more defensive around bonnie and not making many puns.

But the others would have to find them anyways, because they need the orb for the castle and it wasnt where it was supposed to be!!

The party probably assumes that someone working with the king stole the orb to make them have less time to defeat the king, but Siffrin took it instead because they dont know what it was. (<- does not read the news to realize the saviours need it. Doesn't even know who the saviours are, except from brief exchanges they heard in the background from other civilians.)

Mirabelle probably would think Siffrin was the king's assistant and be furious, but they figure it out quickly that it was just a misunderstanding.

If you have questions about siffrin+bonnie and the party, feel free to ask, but generally if we had to list their general relationships with everyone:

Siffrin

Isabeau: Not as wary around Isabeau, despite him being rock type and significantly taller than Siffrin and all. They arent as scared of him unlike the others because of how gentle and understanding Isabeau seems. (RETCONNED!!)

Odile: Most wary around Odile, despite her being paper type. Wonders if they have some tricks up their sleeve, or how easy it is to die from being whacked by that giant book of hers.

Mirabelle: Hesitant around Mirabelle. Doesn't help when their first encounter is being called the King's assistant and almost getting hit by a rapier from a furious housemaiden. They keep their guard up the most around Mirabelle, even when they apologize profusely.

Bonnie: Very protective over them. They take attacks from all crafts to defend Bonnie, no matter if they have to sacrifice a limb, to the point that they developed a habit of hiding Bonnie behind their cloak when they think someone is a threat. Lets down their guard the most when they are alone with Bonnie.

Bonnie

Isabeau: Crabface. annoyed by their puns, but they arent wary of him since they noticed that Siffrin seems to occasionally let down their guard around Isabeau.

Odile: hehe old. They dont understand why Siffrin is wary around her, but they trust Siffrin enough to know that they shouldn't let down their guard, even if Odile is too old to seem like a threat.

Mirabelle: CRABFACE!! doesn't like Mirabelle as much, since they did threaten Siffrin, even though Mirabelle apologized since then.

Siffrin: Trusts Siffrin the most. They usually stay close to Siffrin to hold onto their cloak and swap hats sometimes, but they just wish Siffrin wouldn't be such a crabface and would stop worrying about them getting hurt, when it means they get hurt instead. They wish that they would stop getting hurt so badly if it meant that Bonnie wouldnt get hurt.

Is Loop here?

probably

wouldn't be of much help though, because unsure if anyone will be looping anytime soon. Unless we turn this into a "bonnie loops" au, since Siffrin taught Bonnie how to properly wish.

thank you for reading my yap session. might write more about this au at a later date when we have more ideas on what to write though

if you have questions, feel free to send some asks !! we don't bite :']

[eldritch-shyknee]

actually, for isat's 2nd anniversary, i'll share some of my sketchbook doodles of the snacktime AU since i've been kind of forgetting to send stuff about it :ichonervous:

bonus: loop that i made today

[eldritch-shyknee]

In the Snack time AU what does Siffrin do to help Bonnie feel better when they are upset and vice versa?

They primarily give gifts to them, i'd imagine!

Siffrin isnt the person to usually initiate touch so i'd imagine they'd try their best to comfort Bonnie, and then make little wooden figures for them while Bonnie is by their side. or they just let Bonnie treat them like a punching bag.

(little detail: Bonnie carries a few of said wooden figures with them! i might add them into future drawings eventually^^)

However in some specific situations (like bonnie getting mad at siffrin for smth), Siffrin just gives them their space if Bonnie tells them to leave them alone, even if that makes Siffrin wonder if they did anything wrong and start overthinking.

Disagreements about crabs fall into this category too. Yucky crab.

[eldritch-shyknee]

your snacktime au is really neat!! im curious what would happen with beating the king though. would the party just not be able to do it?

oh!! question for the snack time au!

thank you!! :'] also good question!! thats actually a question that i had to sit for a few hours for. i'm not that sure yet, actually

sat here for a while but i think this is what MIGHT happen. This could be changed in the future if i do get a better vision though! (<- will reblog this post aswell if needed)

The party might not have as much time as in the original ISAT because of the "orb got stolen" incident? so they're. generally rushing and trying their ABSOLUTE BEST to have enough resources to fight the king

Mirabelle could have learnt the carrot method by bonnie having carrots with them (if carrots is all that takes), or by siffrin accidentally bumping into the secret library switch

They would use the shield whenever they have the chance due to the fact that they have NO clue when to use it, and they rely on heals and Bonnie giving them a lot of tonics. they're afraid of the king managing to hurt them horribly, or even kill them, since that would mean Vaugaurde would get frozen in time.

But at the end, IF they actually defeat the king, it ends up with most of them severely injured because they dont know much about the king's attacks. (Bonnie is the only unharmed one, since Siffrin would still take the hits for Bonnie even if that meant they were at the verge of dying after defeating the king.)

I thought of siffrin getting craft exhaustion after the fight, but it wouldnt really make sense in my opinion (<- unless you think about this as like, the king trying to target siffrin for "forgetting the country", causing siffrin to have to fight with more craft than they can handle, along with siffrin trying to protect bonnie which means they get hurt more and need to expend more craft?)

Loop would most definitely help because even though noone's looping in this au (<- still undecided), everyone WILL die if they arent helped.

And this Siffrin didnt trust the party enough to go "i wish to stay with them". They die, its over. So, Loop's the only one that KNOWS where everything is for a very particular reason. Cough cough.

Sorry if this doesn't exactly answer your question, or if its a bad general idea, unsure of how to explain it fully GHHG

If you want specifics on the puzzles in this au, we wrote about them below because while writing, i realized that i misread the question and wrote about the puzzles instead, so, oops :siffrinoopsies:

the death corridor's trap wouldnt be activated because of siffrin's constant wariness around the party, even if the others found the switch. (worse case scenario, loop has to step in.)

The first tear encounter would end with Bonnie ALMOST knocking Siffrin into it, but them trying to catch siffrin before they get frozen. (The party members could have caught them, but siffrin is horrible with touch, and made that very clear when they first met.)

They would have passed the tears and gotten the star crest first, then noticed the hallway and got curious if the star crest could be used for that.

They would either find the paper key quickly, or end up wasting alot of time looking for it. again, worst case scenario loop steps in.

First boss sadness, Odile's the one to figure it out. (not gonna say much about the bosses, its just generally the same)

They go to the classroom first, and bonnie immediately opens the notebook with the key in it because they refuse to listen to a notebook. Lucky.

The housemaiden's office. Odile finds the key instead, which conveniently glimmered when she was near.

The party find the paper key alone, because Siffrin was messing around with Bonnie about the threater script thing. (Or siffrin bumps into the secret library on accident while messing around with bonnie, undecided)

Siffrin goes with Bonnie at the 2 rows of tears, but the other 3 go down instead, so despite Bonnie's disappointment, they manage to get the last key for the 2nd floor.

The last floor, Bonnie and Siffrin stay behind to try and cut open the door because Bonnie really wanted Siffrin to cut it instead of looking for the keys.

(this is where i realized i read the question wrong :siffrindead:)
