Some old fic drabbles + associated sketches under cut (a6 secret spoilers):
hc: Since equipment carries over, as long as Odile uses her book in a fight, she can write down notes and have it carry over loops

"Odile?"
[You turn to look at them as the Head Housemaiden repeats her normal speech.]
[Isabeau is the first, stretching his hand out to you.] "M'dam!"
[Will he ever guess what you're researching?]
[Mirabelle notices next as she picks her skirt to get close.] "What's going on?"
[Will she recognize her own strength?]
[Boniface looks so scared.] "Dile?"
[Will they meet their sister again?]
[Siffrin looks startled.] "What is this?"
[Will he know how much you appreciate his company?]
[There they are.]
[Your family.]
[They care for you.]
[They love you.]
[They're here for you.]
[You don't have to feel lost in between different places.]
[Ka Bue, Dormant.]
[Your mother.]
[That doesn't seem to matter.]
[How could you miss it? They were here all along.]
[Your family is right here! This is your family! You don't need to figure out where you exactly belong because this is where you belong! Right here with them!]
[They won't leave you. Not like her. They're here.]
"You'll be going back!"
[This is your Familytale!]
[You can reread this book for as long as you'd like!]
"I hope you can-"
[The ending is bittersweet, yet you love it!]
[It's perfect!]
"-learn to-"
[They love you, they love you!]
[The final chapter!]
[You feel a smile grace your lips.]
"-forgive-"
[Your own family, right here.]
[You feel a tug on your stomach...]
Tumblr media
YOU'VE REACHED THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE BOOK
.
.
All of that is done! Felt a burst of inspiration while looking at @tealgoat art. Thank you for forever scaring me with such an amazing AU of Odile looping instead of Siffrin.
I like to think that instead of a play, Odile might see it as a book.

every Odile Looping AU i see for ISAT still has loop as Loop which is fun and cute spoilers for act 6
how would Odile!Loop take to it all? Loop is Loop because siffrin couldn't take it anymore- how would Odile!Loop take to hitting her breaking point? what would O!Loop be? Would Odilestill be half vaugardian and looking for Somewhere to call home and O!Loop be just as jaded as canon loop is for Siffrin? seeing them as nothing but actors, just Shells of the friends Loop Used to have? or would O!Loop and Looping Odile be from the town that vanished as a stand-in? and iff so how would Hyper Depressed and Manic Odile take to these visages of a found family, the thing she's been Looking for turn Hollow, just cards in a deck that she can just shuffle?

In Stars and Time: Axis Masterpost
Axis is a post-game au for the game "In Stars and Time" where I explore ideas and themes from the game and the impact from it's events in a comic format~ Beware, spoilers of the whole game!
Tumblr media
ORBITAL (Act 3 Comic) - Nothing seem out of ordinary that day: the party takes a break from their long journey to save Vanguarde from the King like usually, but then Bonnie runs into a strong Sadness.
SOLAR WIND - A week passed since Siffrin broke out of loops, but the wounds on his heart are bleeding still and about to get worse for everyone involved.
REDSHIFT - The Party takes the train to the next city to get to Bambouche. Siffrin and Odile have a talk about heritage, but it seems this gonna be less peaceful as Sadnesses still roaming around after King's defeat.
GRAVITATIONAL WAVES - Siffrin and Isabeau sit down and figure their feelings and what it means for them.
CEPHEIDS - Mirabelle and Siffrin spend time together as "Feeling Buddies".
ROCHE LIMIT - The Party finally reaches Bambouche and Bonnie retunited with their beloved sister. But things went rough as Nille finds out details about what happened when Siffrin was trapped in the timeloop.
ACCRETION DISK - The Party visits Dormont before traveling all over the world, Siffrin is coping well enough, but there is hidden danger lurks in the House of Dormont once again.

Ok, I’ve been seeing people make other character timeloop AUs, and as much as I enjoy seeing those, and as much as I like to think “that’s just you, let people have fun, there is no singular canon for this,” a tiny part of my brain always screams “but thEY’RE WRONG!!!”
So, I’m gonna appeal to that foolish part of my brain and also prove it wrong by breaking down how I feel these timeloop AUs should work. Heavy spoilers for In Stars and Time below.
Now, before we start discussing that, we need to first break down what effects does the Timeloop have on Siffrin specifically.
Siffrin, even before the timeloop, has… so many issues. Moreso than his other compatriots, at least from what we see. The thing is, Siffrin’s identity issues are all shared with the other party members. Siffrin is unsure what parts of themself they like and dislike or want to bury like Isabeau, Siffrin has a diasporic disconnect like Odile but worse, Siffrin has something that brings so much joy yet so much grief (the Timeloops, yes, but also their culture they can’t remember) just like Mirabelle, and Siffrin is so scared of being too weak or too late or too stupid to keep people from getting hurt just like Bonnie.
But there are also the abandonment issues, the crippling fear of being left behind, being forgotten and not being loved. That is the main crux of Siffrin’s issues in the game, it’s what spawns the timeloops, encourages Siffrin to keep everything secret, break the universe, etc. And the other characters don’t have that same crippling fear…
… at least, as far as we know. See, the special thing about In Stars and Time is that it dissects Siffrin right in front of us. We know about the other characters, they get plenty of time to talk, but we know so much about Siffrin that we would not have learned otherwise. The other characters have issues, but we never… deep dive into them the same way. They’re left up to interpretation.
So… let’s do some interpreting!
Mirabelle is the easiest. She has super awful imposter syndrome, and the thing is it doesn’t really come up much outside the main route and few snack times. But that imposter syndrome is super real. If she started looping, how would she react? Would that alleviate her imposter syndrome entirely? Unlikely, it’d make her think she was blessed by the Change god. But only at first. That same imposter syndrome might make her not tell the party members, but I don’t think it would actually stop her for very long.
Mirabelle is also much louder with her emotions than Siffrin. Her emotional highs and lows would be a lot briefer, yet more frequent. She wouldn’t be empty too easily.
There is also the fact that Mirabelle’s very belief is Change. It doesn’t matter the grief it brings her with her identity, she still loves and believes in it. That’s a good thing in some respects. In each loop she’ll try something different, make each loop as unique as possible. It’ll keep her sane for longer than Siffrin… and then, she’ll start going off track. Start doing anything, everything possible to make each loop unique. Even things she really, really doesn’t want to do.
She’d probably stop herself in some regards. Never hurt her friends, never kill anyone who they don’t intend to kill. But she’d definitely hurt herself. Hurt herself in every way possible.
When she gives up, it’s almost sort of a good thing. She’ll stop trying to make any change, let anything change. But the issue with that? She’d just be giving up the same way Loop did. What would that do to her?
Now, let’s move onto Odile. In terms of emotional awareness, Odile and Siffrin are very similar. Unlike Mirabelle, apathy likely suites Odile just fine. In fact, that would probably become a defense mechanism to Odile. She wouldn’t hide that she’s in a timeloop, she doesn’t have that fear of abandonment Siffrin has. But she would definitely not bring it up unless she thought it was important. That would lead to… conflict. She would essentially become the opposite of Mirabelle, trying to speedrun, get the loops as consistent as possible, and that means only disclosing information when it is necessary rather than when it is helpful. And unlike Siffrin, who is bad at hiding things, she won’t become an actor like him and try either. She’ll embody pure apathy and not even try to hide her pain.
Moreover, Odile said it herself. She would do horrible things to keep everyone safe. Perhaps harming them, for their own good perhaps, would be one of those things. It could take a hundred loops. But in that regard, Odile has a breaking point I believe.
Bonnie can be summed up like this: no. They are a child, it would end badly. They’d probably cry every loop because everything is so scary, overwhelming, and terrifying. It doesn’t matter how smart they are, they cannot and should not go through something like that. It would be meaningless suffering.
Now, Isabeau. Isabeau is the smartest member of the group, by a long shot. Probably not in the academic sense like Odile, but in the practical sense. He has practical knowledge, he knows about relevant lore, he can extrapolate about magic theory, he’s articulate and can do quick math, and he has fantastic charisma and insight to navigate social situations. He can figure things out, sort out his emotions and be honest with his family, So, how does he suffer?
He stops trying to use any of it. He stops trying to burden his family with his struggles. After a point, he thinks “well I’m invincible, might as well go into the house on my own a couple loops to scout out!” He’ll try to take every weight from their shoulders every loop, no matter what. And the sheer pressure and repetition will break him. Until he simply cannot move anymore. Til he loops, and collapses in front of the favor tree. Unlike Odile, he’ll try to do new things, but unlike Mirabelle, he will fail because he will try to do everything at once.
Now, I feel most confident in my Mirabelle analysis, and less confident in my other ones. But there are 2 things I’ve been ignoring that are important to bring up, which I will mention here:
First, Loops were officially broken when Mirabelle froze the King in time and satisfied both Vauguarde’s and his wish simultaneously. If everyone is being transparent with Mirabelle from the start or she’s the one looping, what’s to stop her from discovering that shield ability in the first place and solving things then and there? This is a… complex concern, and one I’m unsure how to answer. But I think I know:
Siffrin is the only one capable of learning about wish craft. They are the only one from the country, the only one who knew his wish, and the only one that can read that text. If Siffrin isn’t looping, they cannot acquire the memory of memories to progress. So, they’d likely not learn the reason behind the loops, and it would take so much longer for them to break the loops. Long enough to give up.
But then there’s the second issue. What about Loop? See, in all of these, I’m operating under the assumption that Loop is Siffrin. Siffrin is the only one who knows how to wish right, their wish is what causes the loops regardless of the target, they are the catalyst. But if you have Loop, then all should be good, right!?
Well… not exactly. Loop is Siffrin, and since a looper other than Siffrin will be interacting with them, they’ll likely be a lot less mean because they only hate themself and probably won’t be mean to their family. But they’re still Siffrin. They’ll probably still hide everything they can, and while they will reveal more they’ll always be terrified of doing so. Terrified of their family knowing. And again, Loop is about as in the dark as everyone. Loop likely will not leave the favor tree, will not join the party, will not try to acquire the memory of memories. They’ll be irrevocably stuck. Unable to progress to where Siffrin reached.
Ok, I think that’s all. In hindsight these ramblings were inane, but hey! Maybe you AU writers and artists can do something with this. Au revoir!

an "everyone loops but its at the same time au" but sif's wish lets everyone remember and they figure out it was a wish in loop one so sif teaches them how to wish properly and they each make a unique wish and now they go through the loops because bon still accientally pushes sif into the tear and sif doesnt find the key so mira volunteers to test if tears work on her and now theyre in dormont AGAIN and isa and odile are agitated at needless risks because what if there's a limit?!? and bonnie may or may not be crying because yeah mira's fine now but it was still scary!!! so dinner that night's not very fun but they still trek up to floor 2 and dont miss the key this time siffrin and when they get the key and get to the crossroads, siffrin chooses wrong to try to make it up to odile and bonnie runs into a tear except they're looping before they even make it because siffrin panicked that bad. so now tension's rising a little higher, theyre back in dormont AGAIN and all the gear they picked up is gone too because it's siffrin's!! goddamn!!! timeloop!!!! BUT at least they can try to beat the king and by some unlucky miracle, they pick the wrong path every!! single!!! try!!! no matter if bonnie or odile or mira or isa chose because of course the last path is the correct one and then!!! they die to the damn king!!!!!! all that progress!!! back to square one!!!!! they're grumpy and tired and this wish made it all happen!!!!!! so maybe a wish can undo it!!!
except the universe doesnt listen to the words of your wish, it listens to your heart. and like it or not, your wish will come true. somehow it will.

"Get ready!"
[Tutorial begins...]
[You've grown sick of it.]
[Siffrin leads. Siffrin dies.]
[Siffrin leads. Siffrin dies.]
[Mirabelle needs reminding.]
[Hasn't she done this enough?]
[No.]
[She hasn't. But you have.]
[You're sick of it all.]
[This same Sadness, this one Sadness which starts the first action part of the story.]
[...]
[You lunged. Siffrin doesn't lead. You just lunge.]
"Odile!"
[Once more.]
[You attack. You attack. You attack. You attack. You attack. You kill. You kill. You kill. You kill. YOU KILL!]
[How many hits? How many attacks? How much pain? This isn't what is written. The book isn't written like this.]
[Is this book fun? Who's reading it? Is this the part where the reader gasps?]
[The Sadness is nothing but a puddle at this point...]
[You turn to your Family. They're terrified. Fix it.]
"It's okay. None of you can get hurt now. It's... okay."
[They're scared...]
[You scared them.]
"It's... okay..."
<<<
"Get ready!"
[You prepare yourself for the fight, getting ready to retell the ways of battle for Mirabelle's sake.]

@tealgoat your art is too good! I love it! Every single scene makes me want to write. Sorry that it's all so short.

Spoilers for the funny timeloop game
A big factor I think is fun to consider in the “a different party member is looping” AUs is why the characters keep it to themselves, and also how they’d behave at their tipping point, and most of all how they’d s specifically dehumanize the rest of the party by the end like how Siff starts calling them actors on a stage. If I may throw my two silver coins in the pool
Mirabell would experience major chosen one guilt. She’d see the loops as an opportunity to make the head house maiden (I’m gonna say HHM from here on out for her btw) proud for choosing her and also the rest of Dormont. She’d do everything to keep everyone safe of course, really starting the downward spiral after her first failure to defeat the king. But after meeting with HHM and having the loop corrupt I think she’d experience major religious guilt. She failed her house and she already thinks she’s following the change belief wrong because of her aroace status so I think she’d start assuming this was all a punishment for her sins that needed correcting. Her party members becoming nothing more then her entourage as she is the vessel of change, and at their worst they’re obstacles to her redemption. She doesn’t even wait for them to start talking shit about her at the clock tower before she decides to go it alone I think
A lot of Odile loops aus or maybe just the one I’ve seen have her as a diligent note taker. Real. I think she’d be unwilling to tell the party because I think she’s smart enough to figure out why the loops are happening immediately. But she refuses to believe that dumb wish she made on the tree she doesn’t believe in could actually do anything so she pushes that fear to the back of her mind and forgets about it till the end. She follows exact scripts and does everything perfectly for the first few loops but I think given the fact she’s the only one who attacks you in the finale fight she has it in her to start distancing herself form the party super quick. Even before meeting HHM she starts seeing the group as lab rats minus Bonnie to test out possible scenarios both to their benefit or to their detriment but after the meeting they become nothing more then Serial numbers, Bonnie included, and she couldn’t care less when it comes to their safety since she can just restart whenever she likes
Isa is tricky because he’s too sweet a guy I think but that’s what’s fun about it. I think he’d have a full blown identity crisis, I think lying to his friends and keeping secrets more intense then a little crush would eat at him, I think the fact his friends can’t remember all the things they’ve shared in the loops would make him feel hopeless over time, I think the fact they can’t remember when he was cold to them in later loops would get on his nerves. He’s a bundle of emotions and keeps the loops from the others just because he’s worried about them seeing him differently now that he has this ability, and after he meets the HHM he’s erratic and all over the place mentally. I’m taking a que from his backstory using body craft and saying his friends become shapeless formless husks over time that he can’t see as anything but failed clay sculptures. For an extra bit of sadness he finally confesses to siff in one of the loops before the last one and it’s big and perfectly choreographed but Sif gets overwhelmed and is himself worried how isa would feel if he knew more about Sif so they turn him down. And from then on he goes through the 5 stages of grief treating Sif worse and worse each loop because all of their good chemistry and funny banter is soured by the fact it will never happen. When the final fight ends he confesses it more like he’s telling Sif he’s got weeks to live, quiet and subdued and apologetic, and Sif accepts this time because it was genuine and they know a lot more about each other now
Bonnie tells Odile. Every time without fail. Sometimes they let Mira and Isa in on it, sometimes they insist it stay between them, sometimes they don’t tell the whole truth and pass it off as a prophetic dream or a hunch or something. But they always tell her. And they never tell Sif. Bonnie would obviously start getting stronger because of the loops and would eventually show off to Sif that they didn’t need his protection anymore, and that’s when the two can have their heart to heart and they’d trust him more. But after that loop fails Bonnie would become more and more agitated, aggressive, they’d snap at the others and become increasingly annoyed they treat them like a baby when they’re more powerful then all of them. It’s after the HHM that they stop telling Odile, they stop getting excited about snacks they stop chiming in with jokes and everyone assumes, naturally, that the kid is obviously stressed and they leave it be. On the last loop they absolutely lose it on the others and that’s when they all agree to leave them at the clocktower because this is too much for them. I wanna say the party becomes something like dolls to Bonnie, and that they feel as though they’re too old for dolls now
That’s it that’s the post

Hi everyone ! People on the ISAT discord already knew about this but for those not on the discord I made a au way back in like 2021-2022 where Mirabelle was the one in the timeloop instead of Siffrin. Chaos ensues. I’ve drawn a lot of art of it, the more spoilery type of art (major spoilers for act 4, 5+6) will go under the cut:

I do indeed have ideas for this au
Meet Qua'shir ("Catch Wish"), aka Odile but she's an Umbral!
Quite A Few Notes:
She is Old™, much more so than in canon. Pro to being an Umbral is that age just means you can Be Bigger
Due to this and her travels, she's been documented loosely in stories all around the world, although she doesn't pay too much attention to them. She's especially well-known in Ka Bue as she spends most of her downtime there, even getting called the Expression Of Shadows by some
Like all Umbrals, she has two shapeshifting abilities: one to mess with her true form (as shown above, cannot mess with the eye configuration however), and one to transform entirely into other creatures
She does have one special ability outside of those and the ability to use Craft: she can sense shifts in the world, often caused by especially powerful Craft...
Because of this, she's given herself a 'job' over the years to research and document these shifts, what caused them, and what their continued effects are as time moves on
She does go to Vaugarde for similar reasons to canon originally, but the King's interference brings that to a halt FAST.
She gets headaches due to her powers, and while it's worse when the curse starts she does still have to contend with it as more and more people get frozen in time
This means she actually misses what causes the timeloop in Loop 0, due to it not visibly doing much she doesn't notice it because of everything else
LOOP 1, HOWEVER. (reposting image below from the other post because it's Important)
Tumblr media
Yeah. So she realizes that there are TWO anomalies to look into and not just the one she needs to kick the ass of.
.... she adds two boxes of tea to the supplies she's getting. This is going to be a rough ride.
