I’ve made a sort of Stanley Parable branch story (again) which I created while doodling this. I don’t think I have the attention span to make another comic, but I like it enough to impulsively show it to you. As of now, it has no name. I have ideas, but alas.
Name Ideas:
Revenge of The Computer Virus
Curse of The Lawsuit
Story of Paperwork
Now with Printer Jam
Beyond Sequel
(Yes, these are the Sequel Title prompts. I thought it would be funny…)
The idea is that Stanley befriends one of the computers, which talks to him instead of The Narrator (The Narrator is not pleased by this). There’s all this mess with him and The Curator on what it even is and what they should do about it, before it starts saying really weird stuff.
Eventually, it tells Stanley to do something weird with the game files, which he doesn’t understand, but after an argument with The Narrator, something changes and it is released from the computer. Yes, it is The Timekeeper.
It finds Stanley, offers him a new story, and puts The Narrator where they were in the computer land or whatever. Stanley just wants to leave mostly, and doesn’t understand why he has to stay, really. They give him infinite stories, but slowly start to take away the choice, before he goes to look for The Narrator or The Curator or Mariella or someone, only to find that they’re all gone.
He sees The Narrator in one of the computer monitors and gets him out somehow. Finds The Curator and Mariella and The Timekeeper realises what is being done and puts them all there just for funsies, continuing the story on their own.
Blah blah blah, eventually we figure out that The Timekeeper is a previous version of Stanley who went a little power hungry and took over the game, but The Narrator still forgot about it entirely, somehow. They get really close to winning, they see what happens when “the wheel stops turning,” they win probably, clever fourth wall break with the reader, End Story.
I honestly just really like the character designs. I definitely can’t use this as its own film without all the rights, so for now? It’s just dust. Do with it what you will.
ALSO!! Forgot to mention: this is also in the same universe!! My bad, pals 🪄
Hanna "-see, there! A magazine. It has your name! It was meant to reach you. But it got here, by a mistake? Likely so."
Jonas "Yeah, probably a fringe benefit from my publisher. You can keep it."
Hanna "Is it here, on the roof? What you came for. Would make sense – you had all your things here."
Jonas "That's sort of the point of having your own space."
Hanna "Uncommon definition of space. Curious! There's no physical space allocated for me. Because I don't have things to keep in there? No need for clothes, soaps, books. But, ooh – I have a magazine! The one you gave to me. Do you have a new space now? For keeping your things in?"
Jonas "Eh. Not any more than you do, if you don't count some leftover corner at Judi's house."
Hanna "-oh, so you're in a hurry! Racing time, but time can't be raced. Racing dimension, or a concept of one? Needed for measuring but can't be reliably measured. Not enough processing capability for a definite answer. The need to be somewhere? Easier to perceive."
Jonas "Whatever you want to call it. Does Chase still force you to stay here...?"
Hanna "Force – not physically. By command? Yes! Chase Craig knows I can't violate a direct command. He told me to stay on the lot this morning. No new commands since then – no new loopholes."
Jonas "Figures. It's a shitty spot right now, but I can pay another visit tomorrow. Do you think we can arrange a loophole for you then?"
Hanna "Ooh, maybe! Chase Craig might give new orders. He usually does! He doesn't always notice the loopholes. Little flaws in his logic. Conflicting commands! But some restrictions are hard-coded. I can't travel to a big city-"
Jonas "Yeah, I was mostly thinking just visiting the town, so. I'll swing by in the morning."

I will be taking over the blog for the time being, seeing as Meirin is feeling rather... unwell. She is on full bed rest now until she wakes u𝖕.
I will do my best to answer asks on h𝐞𝐫 behalf when 𝗜 am able t𝐨. Rest assure𝚍 that after a th̷orough reading, if I find any letter𝐬 which I am unqualified to answer (i.e. for matters not pertaining to the recent events - but alternatively please feel free to mark it with this symbol: 🔸 if you do not wish for me to answer), I will set them aside for the time being. Fortunatel𝐲, it see𝔪s that the glitches she had been experiencing prior to today have been fixed, so it should hopefully make my jo𝐛 easier.
Seeing as I am new to this, I ap𝕠𝕝ogize if am not accustomed to certain terms and lingos. In the same vein, I do not know how to do other activities except for the ones mentioned above, so I would rather not risk breaking things. After all, this space is important to Meirin, and I would rather not rui̸n it, if possible.
Lastly, please note that if you do not wish to see my correspondence (the topics I might discuss may not be suitable for everyone, but I will try my best to categorize them properly), you might need to take precautions and mute the special tag used for this duration of time.
