PARATOBER DAYS 14 AND 15

Day 14 (Buttons)

Day 15 (Quiet)

Please do not send me asks for donations

Here's why:

I have NO money to give you

I'm not a popular enough blog that I will give you any reach

I am a minor, and most of my followers are too

It makes me feel extremely guilty

Seeing pictures of injuries or hospitals etc are triggering for me (which are in most intro posts for this sort of thing)

They are always worded in a way that makes me feel like I am a murderer if I don't donate

It makes me feel uncomfortable

I said I don't want them, and my boundaries should be respected

I can't tell what is a bot and what isn't

I get a lot of spam from this. It is disappointing to see 10 new asks in my inbox just to be the same ask for donations over and over

Please, just respect the fact that I have said this.

Edit: To all the people reblogging this, I'm sorry you have had to deal with this too. And yes, you can put this in your pinned post! Stay safe <3

any other not stanley ending fans in the chat

PARATOBER DAYS 11 AND 12

PARATOBER DAY 10

sorry for being late but uh i drew both my tsp oc and ocs that arent mine from the arg im involved in . im free

So is your narrator more yellow coded then red?

😼

(Ref to that recent post.)

my narrator is very much yellow coded! in fact, that's a huge part of his species!

the species, subtitled beings, represent themselves through colours. yellow represents guidance and need. will need to make a drawing based off of this

Paratober 3 - Time

Ive seen many people talk about the tsp fanon lately so im gonna throw my hat into the ring today...

Something that i really miss when it comes to the tsp community is the fact that it made 0 sense. Ive said this before about the line's design briefly, however it really applies to the ENTIRETY of the game. It's designed to be a meta-narrative.

Of what? Does it matter? Why should the game care what it is and isn't trying to convey? These are all very good questions, and answering them completely neglects the point im trying to make here– this game is absolute nonsense.

There's many, MANY pieces of this game that can be picked apart and analysed to hell and back, however once you zoom out of your narrow view of this word-spaghetti of a game, you realise that the rest of the story is just a mess of letters and mysteriously placed numbers scattered throughout the bowl.

Don't get me wrong, theres a lot of intentional subtexts and messages hiding among the goofs and gags, however that's not what hooked you on the game, is it?

What kind of game adds a bucket that alters every single pathway for no apparent reason? What kind of game would intentionally pick out a single review from steam and in response completely turn it on its head in the most horrifying way possible? What kind of game lets you COMPLETELY derail the entire "story" just so you can piss off that old man???

As much as I love all of the headcanons, and the designs, and the 'making sense of the world around them', this fandom has proven that if you attempt to rationalise and build on EVERY single thing in this game, you're eventually going to end up with an entirely different cast of characters.

By all means, keep making fanon! Keep making designs! Keep making OCs, AUs, Headcanons! Make the things you love! But please, by all means, do not forget how ridiculous the source material is...

The Stanley Parable: Hey kid, you want 8 minutes of new content??

i got a bit overzealous with paratober day 10 (tried to draw like 7 different characters) so i couldnt finish it in time and it will be released tomorrow, i might also skip day 11 to make room for this so just warning yall

PARATOBER DAY 9: EASTER EGG

posting this one by itself because i am very proud of it

not to rain on everyone's parade, but sometimes i do think there's something almost sad to me about the fact that I have seen so much stanley parable fandom content that exclusively revolves around alternate universes that have progressively grown further and further off-track from the narrative of the original game to an extent that i find barely recognizable at times. something about how whether or not it's true (i can't tell people that they don't enjoy something 'enough', i have no metric by which to measure how cherished the original is to people making this content) it almost feels like one of those cases where fanon precedes canon in terms of how much enjoyment people find in the content, as if people wanted the story to be *more* than it was to an extent that makes them override the original mentally. i think it doesn't help that a lot of people perceive fandom content as existing to fill some kind of 'deficit' in an original work- to give people what they didn't get in the original, so to speak. you've probably heard the spiel about how tragic tales have the most coffee shop AUs drifting around in their fandom tags, and such. the difference is that in most cases, those coffee shop AUs aren't more commonly posted about than the source they're based on. i can't really say the same for the stanley parable at this point. people are so enamored with AUs and versions of the game's story involving modifications of the narrator or the limited range of setting laid out by the game itself that i'm sad to say i don't see people engaging much with actual moments from the game itself all that often.

is that just a matter of personal preference? yeah, totally, but it does make me sad. I really *like* the fact that the Parable is so limited. I think it does the narrative a massive service that there truly is no finite ending or escape, that the Narrator is never given form nor further interactability with the game, that nothing ever goes wrong or changes in a way that matters. It's a fundamental part of the narrative to me. Changing that is fun to people, and I get that- but at some point to me it just feels like so much about what I love about the game's narrative is just being reduced to the meaningless backdrop to shipping and the opportunity for something people Want to see more.

Do you know of Parable News? I hear he was dead from the start.

PARATOBER DAYS 7 AND 8.

Day 7: i completely ignored the prompt and made a paywall design instead

Day 8.

apparently tsp has ‘officially’ reached its end well I CALL BULLSHIT!

the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end and over and over and over and it just keeps going because that’s its nature. as long as there are people to open the game, the stanley parable will go on and on. the only way to free either of them is for the game to be made permanently inaccessible; which would, realistically, only be caused by an apocalypse.

just like in the skip button ending.

just like in the game.

it always loops back to itself. it will never, realistically, end. no end in sight. at all.

and maybe that’s how it’s meant to be

(sorry had to let out the demons i’ll get back to paratober)

200 FOLLOWERS HOLY SHIT MAN

i really want to do something special so uh . gimme questions for my tsp designs and i'll try to intersperse drawing them in between paratober and arg stuff :3

CHARACTERS TO ASK QUESTIONS TO: - The Narrator - Stanley - Timekeeper - 432 - The Curator - Mariella - And if you want to... Associate!!! (yeah for anyone unaware i've been behind that thing sobs loudly i guess im announcing it now)

man. this is actually insane. 200 followers oh my god

in the segment of the free trial ending on tsp mobile where the narrator talks about himself, the first “me” that shows up is coloured red (the colour he’s meant to be associated with) but the second “me” that shows up is yellow (the colour fans associate him with)

im probably just insane and reading too deep into this though sorry

how’s this for an announcement
