Please get him some milk

[looped-140-and-counting]

siffrin getting out of the timeloop genuinely counts as isat spoilers to me because I will always remember how I genuinely thought he might not make it out starting with the end of act 4 and still being on edge when he approaches euphrasie in the epilogue

#isat spoilers #yeah I was so genuinely scared the whole time #i was like please please please have a happy ending #this is the first game I've ever played where there was a real possibility of not having a happy ending #and it would make sense #but it still would've devastated me

The ace rep in isat means the world to me

Bare with me here i am not always good at words and i just wanted to ramble a lil

Spoilers for act 3

Ace rep is still pretty rare in media let alone anyone who is explicitly aroace. Lots of ace rep makes the characters aro by default without intentionality behind it duo to inherently missing the difference between ace and aro folks. I've also seen some instances of making ace or aro coded characters cold and detached from people at large

(we are going to ignore this gets reset in the timeloops its still good character writing)

Mirabelle doesn't want to date and while Siffrin cannot relate to this aspect they are able to help her come to a realization about her own identity by relaying thier own experience of being ace. They help her to feel less alienated in her identity and resolve to try and make changes for other folks who may feel alienated by the way the change belief (or society) has deemed romantic and or sexual relationships as important to one's identity.

Because yeah. Not being in or even wanting to be in a relationship does not make you less of a person.

And like. I ADORE Mira as the games aroace rep. She's emotional! She cares so deeply for the people around her. She likes romance books but is content with that to remain in the world of fiction which is a pretty common aro experience from my understanding (I am demiromantic ace so my experiences are a bit different). I just think that the canon aroace rep in the game being the girl who reacts to everything so strongly and loves horror books is neat. Mira has so much love in her heart for people without having to have any of it be romanticly motivated

i also like that despite being in her 20s she's still figuring out parts of her identity like this. It's a very relatable experience for me who also started figuring a lot of this stuff out as I got older

Sif being a touch avoidant touched starved ace though. He just like me fr fr. I have so many thoughts on how he still craves physical intimacy (non sexually obviously) and how that sort of thing is kinda ignored in a lot of ace media.

idk if any of this made sense but i love these characters so much i have to ramble about em a lil sometimes

#genuinely I was so shocked to see aroace rep and alloace rep #and it was done so well too #mirabelle's talk about how she's happy the way she is was so refreshing #even if she felt torn up about it #she liked herself the way she was #so so good #and sif being like well i'd like romance but i agree the other stuff is icky #yeah #140loopnotes

New ISAT animation, Take a Slice by Glass Animals! (Spoilers for up to Act 5)

[looped-140-and-counting]

ISAT's narration being in second person pov is such a good choice but also... When Siffrin is having their daily (looply?) self-deprecating monologue because of a mistake the player made and you're just sitting there like

I know I got you crushed under a rock cuz I forgot to press the switch, I'M SORRY, DAMN

#I got mad at first because I thought it was like #meta narrative? like it was talking to the player #and then I realized it was just second person pov and it got depressing instead

Chapter III? The Singular Wish

 It wishes to remember it wishes to leave it wishes for someone, anyone, to HELP IT.

the first finalized slay the savior design other than the thorn!! you miss that its mask is split between comedy and tragedy here, but i couldnt pass up this posing.

[looped-140-and-counting]

isa as the long quiet also works because...voice of the smitten. like c'mon it's basically meant to be

DJKGHJDFK YEAH. im changing around some of the voices names for Funzies and ive been rocking with 'lovestruck' for smitten. but smitten in general is... very isacore.

isa voice 'oh yeah i honestly thought you being mean to me was cool, sif.'

smitten voice 'i love the princess regardless of how cruel she may be.'

its the same picture.

[looped-140-and-counting]

lovestruck is so fun to write. what if you crammed all of isas freakboy thoughts into one guy and then made him really fucking dramatic about it.

I feel bad about the asks. I will get to them, I swear, but finals are coming up and I am currently suffering. Bonnie was so right when they said going to school forever sounds awful, it's probably the worst fate out there.

I don’t think I’ve ever put more love and effort into a singe piece of fanart ever in my life, and this is literally the first ISaT related thing I’ve made. I just needed a Siffrin to stare at me from my desk since I was too late to get the plush.

#consistently devastated to learn there are people who finished isat under 100 loops #then again I did loop a lot just for the sake of clues...

[looped-140-and-counting]

I have accepted that I'm never going to render this thing
