Allow me to fuel the insanity (sorry not sorry op)
The Island was erased from existence. Any evidence was doomed to never be understood, all trace of it in people's minds gone. If no one knows or remembers it, does it exist?
I like to imagine that island, the people, everyone and everything regarding it was built from stars. Their lives and culture and identity was forged from the small lights speckled across the sky. If even an identity was made purely from those stars, the very basis and life of home, by nature of the island, of their home, being erased from existence, so was the identity of those who remained.
From what I've gotten from playing the game, Siffrin remembers most out of everyone we've met so far. They can understand the language, at some point they remember the stars, they get moments of knowing home, of parents and spicy malanga fritters and broken teacups. Maybe Loop calls them stardust, because, like Loop said, they're what remains. Their memories, their cloak, their hat, their language, their culture, their religion, all of those are something that, by the end of the game as far as we know, are something only Siffrin can hold on to now. Siffrin is stardust because they hold on to the remains of the star that was destroyed. The bits and pieces they know and have so quickly stitched into their being are all that remains.
he doesn’t remember the stars??? that’s what frin’s supposed to remember?? is it cause they’re home!! cause he homes from the stars!!! like the king does!!! but then why doesn’t he remember them?? did the stars have like a collapse or an exodus or something?? and that’s why he can never go back?? why the king was a nameless traveler with no home?? why frin was?? why loop calls him stardust?? cause he’s what’s left of a star?? or of their home?? or of someone he used to be when he was at home in the stars??
People should make more stickers
I need more stickers to collect
I long for the little stickies
And the big stickys
And middle sized stickies
All the stickys
I just beat TOWW and I brought him in my cult.
Dude got here with the poet trait and I can't ever find him unless I do the sermons and follow him out and honestly I think this is the most perfect personality fitting Narinder I could've gotten.
I love music. Chat, I love music. Does anyone else love music? We live on a beautiful earth
BE FREE!!!
Tw for discussions about child abuse.
I just need Atsushi, Tachihara and Aya to bond over their shit parents.
.
Tachihara: And then my brother died and my parents told me they wished it was me instead.
Aya: My dad didn’t say it but I know he wished I was gone instead of my mum. She was so perfect and I couldn’t even get close to what she was.
Tachihara: Sounds familiar.
Atsushi: I’m glad you’re both here. No one deserves to be told that they don’t deserve to live.
Aya: Thanks Tiger boy.
Tachihara: Did your parents tell you that too?
Atsushi: Among other people. I didn’t lose anyone like you guys did. They just never liked me I guess.
Aya: That’s their loss.
Atsushi: Thanks.
Aya: How did you guys escape? I mean you know I ended up with Bram Bram and now I’m just here with you guys.
Atsushi: Yeah pretty sure Kunikida would end up on the news if your dad tried coming for you.
Tachihara: That goes double for Akutagawa. How did I get out? Oh you know ran off in the middle of the night and became the delinquent they thought I was.
Atsushi: Wait you actually became a criminal? That wasn’t just for the Port Mafia?
Tachihara: Yup before I got busted for bank robbery. That’s when Fukuchi found me. He offered me a deal and well you know the rest.
Atsushi: Man you guys were so cool, running and finding your place in the world. I just got thrown away.
Aya: You mean like being kicked out?
Atsushi: No I mean like put into a bag and then the bag gets thrown out onto a street corner, with me inside.
Tachihara: Now that’s just excessive.
Atsushi: Right?
Aya: And if you tore a hole out you could’ve crawled out. It’s not even a good murder plan.
Atsushi: I’m pretty good at surviving those. Ah well, least they all think we’re dead.
Tachihara: I’ll drink to that…and by drink I mean the apple juice we have here and nothing else.
Aya: Smooth save.
Tachihara: I don’t wanna die twice,
Meanwhile, everyone else can hear them:
Kunikida,: You know, murder wasn’t on my schedule but that can easily be amended.
Kyouka, unsheathes her katana.
Ranpo: And Katai just sent us the directions, you coming Mr fancy Coat?
Akutagawa: Obviously.
Hope you don't mind me adding on op, but this just activated my lil fish brain so I gotta get it out.
Me personally, I've always imagined the Universe as an entity similar to us, the players. After all, what are we if not gleeful onlookers of Siffrins predicament? I've made a joke about it before, but most fics are all Angst, and they're mostly Siffrin focused; Because they're ours as a fandoms favorite character; the Universes favorite person. We look on and watch this with a special kind of empathy, the one reserved for those we perceive as 'characters'. The kind of empathy where we feel for them, feel their hurt and suffering, yet we still watch, because it's entertaining. I've always thought the Universe thinks in a similar way. It feels empathy in the way fans of games feel empathy for characters. It pities and helps and guides a bit, but it will still watch as they struggle with some amount of entertainment, and some of its guidance will be done less for the sake of helping and more for the sake of wanting a good show. Maybe the Universe sees everyone as characters, beings with some depth an emotion, but ultimately not real; puppets to use for their entertainment and coping and whatever else it pleases.

how do you write a liar?
Language
The motive of every goal is the make the lie seem plausible while taking blame off the speaker, so liars will often project what they say to a third party: "Katie said that..."
Referring to third parties as "they" rather than he or she
In the case of a deliberate lie prepped beforehand, there will be an overuse of specific names (rather than pronouns) as the speaker tries to get the details right.
Overuse of non-committal words like "something may have happened"
Masking or obscuring facts like "to the best of my knowledge" and “it is extremely unlikely," etc.
Avoiding answers to specific, pressing questions
Voice
There's isn't a set tone/speed/style of speaking, but your character's speech patten will differ from his normal one.
People tend to speak faster when they're nervous and are not used to lying.
Body Language
Covering their mouth
Constantly touching their nose
fidgeting, squirming or breaking eye contact
turning away, blinking faster, or clutching a comfort object like a cushion as they speak
nostril flaring, rapid shallow breathing or slow deep breaths, lip biting, contracting, sitting on your hands, or drumming your fingers.
Highly-trained liars have mastered the art of compensation by freezing their bodies and looking at you straight in the eye.
Trained liars can also be experts in the art of looking relaxed. They sit back, put their feet up on the table and hands behind their head.
For deliberate lies, the character may even carefully control his body language, as though his is actually putting on a show
The Four Types of Liars
Deceitful: those who lie to others about facts
2. Delusional: those who lie to themselves about facts
3. Duplicitious: those who lie to others about their values
Lying about values can be even more corrosive to relationships than lying about facts.
4. Demoralized: those who lie to themselves about their values
Additional Notes
Genuine smiles or laughs are hard to fake
Exaggerations of words (that would normally not be emphasized) or exaggerated body language
Many savvy detectives ask suspects to tell the story in reverse or non-linear fashion to expose a lie. They often ask unexpected, or seemingly irrelevant questions to throw suspects off track.
