#doomed time loop

[wiwi-wisp]

doomed time loop AU

The starting point of the loop is set in the moment after Rat leaves them and they head towards Quickstop.

They all "wake up" at the same time, instantly panicking. They regained the memories of their deaths and of what happened, remembered EVERYTHING, even if some things are more blurry than others.

The second Rand opens his eyes, he starts searching for Rachel, who he just saw.

Rolan's panicking is quiet, but he is barely managing his human form.

Kian stares blankly, the fact that he is alive AGAIN still setting it. Almost subconsciously, he starts to hum his melody. It's ever present, just as it was when he awoken after his first death.

It takes them a long time to calm down enough to be able to communicate with each other. Once they do, they slowly realize that somehow, they are back at the beginning of this whole shit show.

They aren't sure if they can actually change things. They got a second chance, but is it really going to change how it all went down?

They still try.

Rand gets his mom to safety, Rolan goes to the basement instead of funeral.

Kian... Kian still tries to help Becky.

They all fail.

They try, and try and try. And they keep failing.

They are loosing both their minds and hope. How could they not? They've been trapped in a literal nightmare for who knows how long.

Then, one day, Rand starts the loop and both Kian and Rolan are acting normal. Like they never fought the monsters. Like they never saw the world be corrupted and people killed. Like they have no recollection of constant torture that were past few days. weeks. months...?

They don't remember it. Rand realizes that he is the only one with memories now. Did he finally die? He must have, but would death really be that cruel?

Rolan and Kian wake up in the same situation as Rand, being the only ones aware.

The loops has split, separating them from each other.

They have no way of getting back into the same loop. The nightmare continues, but this time, it feels more hopeless than ever.

Over time, as loops keep on repeating, they give up. One could only see their world fall apart that many times before falling apart themselves.

everything is the same except Odile is the one looping

oh. heheheheh. muahahahaha. hold on *digs through my pile of disorganized sketches*

Odile loops au; a sketch compilation!!

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

toxic doomed yuri (for a more fleshed out fic I highly recommend The Sweetest Thing by soreimoon, it's amazing)

#isat #odile loops au #in stars and time #isat spoilers #isat odile #odile timeloop au #isat au #congrats on unleashing the hell gates of odile looping au!!! I've thought about it a bunch!!!!! #contexts: #candy is a reference to sasasap i think. not sure if odile likes candy though #i think it'd be funny if odile struggled with understanding how shields work for a bit. she spends several loops asking mirabelle for help #I think odile would actually spend more time in the loops once she's sure she can just loop again. They're not actually in a rush after all #and she might as well maximize her loops #under cut: #she leaves all of her excess books with loop. Loop has another thing to do while waiting #yes loop is still you know who in this one #toxic doomed yuri is just very self indulgent teehee thanks discord folks #not depicted: I also think that the more loops she does the more she views them as experiments #with variables to control and test #that's where she starts falling off the deep end and start testing stuff like. not warning siffrin about the rock #(instantly regrets it though. loops back the first time she tries) #day 26 today? #A big one! Have funnn #you can tell some of these are really old by the different colored background lmfao

The first time I saw these guys was back in comic form, and now that I've picked up the game "In Stars and Time", I've fallen in love all over again. Fantastic work as always to the creator @insertdisc5 !

I'm still chipping away at the game, but man I'm loving it so far.

Villainess anime reviews

went on a bit of a binge, so here's a compilation:

I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss

rating: lots of fun

one of the funnier entries on this list in my opinion, i actually laughed out loud multiple times

the protagonist is a capable and determined lady, as well as slightly unhinged which i always enjoy, i love weird women

breakneck pace, speedrunning like 3 games in the 12 episode, so it is the opposite of boring

this anime has everything: ducks, crows in bowties, crossdressing, ducks, video game brain rot, and ducks

Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord

rating: at east somewhat interesting (still ongoing, episodes watched: 5)

aside from the gimmick a pretty standard isekai with pretty eh animation

a lot of this show is kinda boring, but there are still interesting and enjoyable moments

the protagonist is charming and probably the strongest part

i will probably be continuing to see what happens next so depending on that my opinion may change

The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior

rating: charming

one of the series from this list that i enjoyed most, even if the story and the world are a bit simple, the characters and their struggles still work and aren't too difficult to get invested in

a bit more drama in this one, with tragic flashbacks (or whatever they're called if its abt an alternate plotline) that i found maybe a little too frequent

here the protagonist is also capable, driven, and quite traumatized, i wanna hold her in my hands like a baby bird

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!

rating: cute!

the bisexual harem is a breath of fresh air

bakarina's dumbassery is a great source of comedy, she's also pretty lovable so the harem around her is believable. and i love a gal with a hobby

I'm in Love with the Villainess

rating: eh

kinda disappointed with this one, i was hoping for some fun gl story, but it could barely watch the first episode and had to force myself to try a few more in hopes it got better (it didnt)

the romance part felt more like harassment in those first episodes, and sure, ive read that it progresses further, but the protagonist didnt really endear herself to me with that

given the comedy tag on mal there were probably some jokes in it, i just couldn't identify many good ones

7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!

rating: hell yeah! (still ongoing, episodes watched: 6)

the best one of all shows listed and the only one that's not an isekai

much more grounded, with good worldbuilding and another capable lady as the protagonist, but this one even more so, as well as much more mature

very pretty, even if i find some character designs questionable :v

definitely got me hooked and i will be watching more

#kostek original #kostek reviews #i appreciate this genre #if theres any more that i missed pls lemme know bc ive been basing my watching list on the word villainess in the title #villainess isekai #villainess anime #7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! #I'm in Love with the Villainess #My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! #The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior #Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord #I'm the Villainess #So I'm Taming the Final Boss

AU where Basil, Sunny and Mari are stuck in a timeloop and in order to break it Basil has to choose which of the siblings will die

#omori #basil omori #sunny omori #mari omori #omori au #fanart #Roman don’t look #they both die over and over and over #what Basil is doing is more choosing which death will stick #otherwise he’s dooming them to an endless existence of suffering #Mari would rather she die than Sunny #Sunny would rather he die than Mari #both of them would be extremely upset should Basil choose the other #Sunny and Mari also don’t die by stair all the time #they’re both also aware of the time loops #and though they die no matter what they do they at least spice it up a little #they ​go on a walk and Mari gets run over by a car that swerved onto the sidewalk #they go to the store and Sunny gets shot by a robber #I’m thinking the stair death #whoever it takes #is the last death and the only one to stick #im gonna call this one #death loop au

[IfLokiWasAFox fell from a high place]

@1wn8ure and I can't seem to stop falling to our deaths in caves, we're just cursed like that. Anyways, we were joking the other day about how we might as well be called Fall Duo 'cus we just keep falling so I thought I'd do a drawing of that — then the hyperfocus kicked in and I did more work on it than intended :P

#it started on the first day when I died like 11 times in a row to the same cave #mostly by falling to my death #I now have a total of 28 death mostly from caves and/or falling #Nature used to tease me for this but she since has also a few times gotten into death loops like that #so now we're just doomed to fall together lol #goober smp #gsmp loki #gsmp vex #gsmp fanart #my art #my 50+ note posts

Simon and Betty Roles and Relationships

So I watched the F&C finale and I, personally, loved it to bits but I can see some early rumblings of dissatisfaction. I can't say I got everything I wanted more Simon and Marcy dammit but I felt everyone's arcs resolved well. Especially Simon and Betty's. Allow me to ramble at length.

What really became clear to me in episode 9 is how much F&C Simon and Betty's relationship is a complete role reversal of their AT selves/relationship.

In both cases, you had one who was - through their own conscious actions - cursed to a non-human existence where they didn't have complete control of their thoughts or actions. They are separated from all their loved ones, including their True Love, and given relatively little agency in their own story.

And then you had the other, who watched their love become this non-human entity where they couldn't meaningfully interact. They become obsessed, consumed with saving their True Love, going as far as to ignore having a potential future in Ooo along with kidnapping and doing sketchy magic.

They got trapped in this tragic cycle of loss and insanity trying to save each other and all it did was cost their own happiness. What GOLBetty was trying to tell Simon was that they both made mistakes as humans in the past (her wrapping her entire life around Simon's to the detriment of her own desires and him for being oblivious to it and not considering her) but this cycle had to stop. They'd both made choices they regretted and the outcome wasn't what either wanted but it was the one they landed at. In e9, Simon admitted to "being sorry" for "wasting the second chance Betty gave him" because he was! He was still clinging to their doomed narrative. It was his final selfish act, to throw away the chance she gave up everything for and then force her to watch him scramble after her despite it being impossible. GOLBetty told him to break the cycle and he did.

I said earlier they made choices they regret, both as individuals and a couple but the love was real, it was true and it was now over. They will both carry that love but they cannot be together. Too many things got in the way and they would tear apart the universe trying to exist together. So Simon moved on properly, embraced this new world and life in Ooo. He devoted himself to his loved ones and made a life for himself that wasn't revolving around Betty. It was the healthiest things he could do for both of them.

As for Betty, Simon spent a thousand years as Ice King before he was freed. Some of those moments were good even if a lot of them were bad. She is a whole new type of being able to see and maybe somewhat control the chaotic forces of the universe. I imagine there are some aspects she did like. For example, how appropriate is for a woman who always made herself smaller and bent to the desires of others to be venerated as a Goddess with incredible power? There is no cure now but I like to imagine some day in the future - someone comes along and helps frees Betty from her self inflicted curse. Simon will be long gone I imagine having lived his own full life and died in peace. But now it will be Betty's turn for self discovery and a new chance at happiness.

Their story together was tragic and they both suffered greatly but a running theme of Adventure Time is that happiness is possible, you just need to find it. And for them, finding it meant letting go. I found it beautiful and sad and poignant and awful. I have other nitpicks with the finale but the resolution of their story -at least Simon's side of it - makes me feel settled. I would love to see a future installment giving Betty back her agency just like this series did for Simon.

#adventure time #fionna and cake #fionna and cake spoilers #it really hit me how simon and betty completely flipped roles at the end of AT #just this endless loop of madness and sadness and magic #so if simon -who was told he would ice king until the sun blew up- could escape #then so can betty in my mind #petrigrof #its sad! A doomed narrative where in this case you dont do anything to reunite #just quietly love and mourn and move on
