new non-looping day
siffrin. perceived by others as very carefree and like he doesn't care about anything. but actually cares very deeply sometimes to their own detriment and worries and overthinks a lot and beats themself up over little mistakes they couldn't have helped. both bonnie and mirabelle have said things along the lines of "siffrin always thinks they're better than everyone else" but actually it's the opposite. they think everyone is better than them. he devalues himself so so much. they think they're unimportant and forgettable and just a footnote in everyone else's lives. i'm so insane
(eternity is within your grasp)
loop seeing their perceptions and actions in siffrin and getting an outsider's perspective to them and gently correcting siffrin about them augh. "I think you could call them bonbon again, and they wouldn't mind" augh. "you don't need to swear off croissants because of what happened. those rituals won't accomplish anything" augh
some of siffrin's dialogue in susquest uses their act 5 portraits (the ones with TS_). i am completely normal about this piece of information
thinking about how just like how the family sometimes underestimates isabeau's intelligence because he acts stupid, sometimes they don't take siffrin as seriously as they should because siffrin likes to joke around and be a little shit. so if siffrin is joking around then that means they're fine! but joking around is actually how siffrin deflects a lot of the time...
holding your dagger safely is important to make the cut
Siffrin's level is set to 99 in Act 5 and reverted to their level at the end of Act 4 in Act 6.
isabeau knows about the stars, he listens to siffrin's stories about them, he doesn't call siffrin out on "lying about the stars" when odile and mirabelle do...
i just had a thought. isat's pre-canon is a pretty typical jrpg story. usually, in an rpg, if you gain new party members as the story progresses, the new party member's base level when joining will be higher to match everyone's average levels at that point of progression. following that line of thought, siffrin is the last (combative) party member to join, so the level they join the party at would be even higher than the level odile joins at, and odile has lots of experience in fighting and general theoretical craft knowledge (wrt using all craft types). it really makes me wonder how much siffrin must've had to fend for himself to be at a higher level than odile was when first meeting the party
so the king uses he/they… and siffrin also uses he/they… that's so suspicious……… (joking)
the third time makes me insane because siffrin remembered that they're allergic to pineapple Before biting into it. and decided to eat it anyways. instead of asking for another snack or not eating at all. grabbing him by the shoulders and shaking him
the funniest thing ever is when a fic is about siffrin and/or loop doing something completely mundane and normal. but by virtue of the fic being written from siffrin/loop's pov it's gotta have at least 3 different content warnings on it and maybe even a Mature rating
bad choice of words odile
