something that feels particularly notable is how much the game itself pushes the player to continue, whether or not that aligns with the narrator’s desires. That there is no real consequence by not playing an ending except for denying yourself of seeing the outcome of that choice. Which in itself is the very nature of continuing to push the wheel. Choices lead to actions that lead to player interaction. And even in scenarios like the zending, where the narrator desperately does not want us to move forward, the game provides a way for us to do so anyway. The way that the game will always provide a choice no matter the moral ramifications. But whether or not you choose to take that option will always be the choice you bear.
Disconnected and separated body parts, no blood or gore at all but it's better to be stay safe!

The Narrator's relationship with Stanley makes me feel so fucking insane. Like what do you mean they desperately need each other to the point where the Narrator has a complete mental collapse without him. What do you mean the Narrator becomes infuriated when he realizes you're the player and not Stanley. What do you mean they hate each other and try to kill each other with knives and yet they're inextricably tied together. What do you mean the Narrator took Stanley to a world of swirling rainbow colors and it's the only place he ever straight-up says he feels happy. What do you mean the Narrator explodes him with a nuke. What do you mean they're the same person and yet nothing alike. What do you mean the Narrator was looking up "stanley kissing" on his computer canonically. What do you mean the Narrator constantly projects his derealization onto Stanley. What do you mean the Narrator wants to watch Stanley suffer while simultaneously just wnating him to get his happy ending. What do you mean the Narrator wanted them to be happy in the Zen room forever only for Stanley to literally commit suicide to get out of it. What do you mean Stanley is a black box without the Narrator and the Narrator is purposeless without Stanley. What do you mean "Can't you see? Can't you see how much they need one another?" What do you mean the Zending and Countdown ending can be read as two sides of the same coin. What do you mean the Narrator created Stanley out of a need for companionship. What do you mean they hate each other and need each other and want to control each other and destroy each other and they're perfectly designed to torment each other and yet they only have each other in this infinite loop and just want to be free. What do you mean the Escape Pod could only ever be activated with both Stanley and the Narrator there and yet the only way to get to the Escape Pod hall is to trap the Narrator. What do you mean the Narrator sounds like he's about to cry when Stanley won't respond to him in the Not Stanley ending and when Stanley's continuously jumping off the staircase in the Zending and he sounds so relieved and happy when Stanley returns from the two week skip. What do you MEAN the Narrator needs Stanley to hear his voice in order to feel real. What do you MEAN the background music to the place where the Narrator keeps his treasured memories is LITERALLY a song that addresses the listener as "MY LOVE." Like what do you fucking MEAN the Narrator LITERALLY went insane because Stanley couldn't hear his voice and he still waited ACTUAL fucking ETERNITY for him to just return. Who packed this much homosexuality into one omniscient voice and who is letting them get away with it
