"doesn't this charater under insane stress going through extremely traumatic events realize how inconvenient their irrational emotional reactions are to the people around them?" well, see, you're not gonna believe this, but the thing is,

i'm so curious about your character gender reads now tho 👀👀

(You enter the kitchen and see me, eating shredded cheese out of the fridge by the handful)

(I turn around to face you.)

Hi. Do you want me to sell you on amab NB Siffrin? I'm going to try and sell you on amab NB Siffrin. And maybe even a little bit of tranfem siffrin and/or loop. as a treat. just for you.

So, (I put the cheese back in the fridge.)

This read of mine comes from a number of things, a lot of them to do with the game's themes, and to do with Siffrin being a narrative foil to the other characters. And Vaugarde as a whole.

(READMORE WARNING: THIS IS LIKE 6K WORDS LONG. YOU ALL SHOULD KNOW BY NOW I DON'T MAKE POSTS WITHOUT UNCONSCIOUNABLE AMOUNTS OF EVIDENCE AND EXPLANATION. IF ANYTHING I'M BEING RESTRAINED HERE. THUMBS UP.)

(Pre-readmore note: this is in response to me having given an analysis of how I personally percieve Sifloop in relation to asexuality and shipping. Which you can look at here. (x))

It is however, not what my like, no-holds-barred no-rules just-for-me headcanon for Siffrin would be. (which is intersex 'head empty no thoughts' siffrin, for the record). This is instead my close-reading-of-the-text-and-themes interpretation of Siffrin. This is why I'm gonna be saying Read and not Headcanon, to distinguish the two. (Anything I consider a little bit too much of a stretch vis a vis interpretive hard reads I will call a headcanon. But those are for the last bit of this post.)

#YES #YES ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILLION BILLION TIMES #THIS IS EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT TRANSFEM SIFFRIN AND MORE #THAT I JUST HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO VERBALIZE #THANK YOU #YOU ARE SO CORRECT ALL OF THE TIME.#AUGHHHHH #joey reblogs #in stars and time #in stars and time spoilers

i think an aspect that might've gone a bit unexplored at large in the post-canon isat content is the niche of siffrin's social fumblage skyrocketing. the loops let them figure out an optimal strategy to get stuff done and it will be weird for them without that safety net, yes, yes, but they also got used to being able to fix their mistakes in conversations. they're allergic to changing the script... unless it lets them avoid making mira upset, or talk to an upset bonnie and then talk to them again because they blundered the first time so hard bonnie had a fit of pique so bad it made siffrin loop.

even before act 5, which a bit of an outlier with how pushed to the limit siffrin is in it, they say things without putting much thought into them and then bemoan saying them - think friendquests, and how much time in them siffrin spends thinking "ughhhh why did i say that the first time", or their comment about the world being inside the universe that's only available in act 4 that concludes with them thinking "stars, why would you say that"

all i'm saying is mx. no-filter would fall into the tmi pits so much more often because their brain recalibrated to a no material consequences mode, and be left with only a mental "whyyyy did i sayyy thattt" as a consolation prize

Siffrin, the Idea vs. Siffrin, the Person

Everyone knows Siffrin is cool as fuck. But who knows what he's thinking? Who knows why they crush Sadnesses? And why do we think about him as fondly as we think of the mythical (nonexistent?) Forgotten Island? Perchance.

I believe it was Kant who said "Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play." Siffrin exhibits experience by crushing Despairs all day, but he exhibits theory by stating "Back to the stage, Siffrin." Keep it up, baby!

When Siffrin leaves his place of safety to stomp a Sad, he knows that he may Die. And yet, for a guy who can loop back indefinitely, a life becomes a mere store of value. A tax that can be paid for, much as a rich man feels any law with a fine is a price. We think of Siffrin as a hero, but he is simply a two percenter of a more privileged variety. The lifekind. Perchance.
