I'm alive!!! And I bring to you a silly little animation!!
Hi hi !!!!,, I asked this to velli as well, but I wanna know what Narrator stereotype you've personally heard the most as well ??? If that's okay :)
I saw velli’s post so I’ll try to give a different answer, and I’m not afraid to say that *I* frequently fall under this stereotype at times. I’d say making the narrator cute innocent and clueless. No offense to anyone who does this of course, I love seeing that stuff! But I would say it seems a little bit OOC. He’s selfish, and at times sadistic. This guy would OBLITERATE Stanley at any moment just for funsies because he know it has no consequences. As much as I draw it, I don’t think he would be completely lovey dovey towards Stanley. Sure they need each other and everything, but people are forgetting to add that tension. The constant back and forth, like a strained marriage. I want nothing more than for them to be cute together and all but it would take a LOT for them to get there. And going along the lines of “they’re in a time loop forever” they might fall in and out of that kind of relationship. I miss seeing more character in the narrator besides “silly little tsundere who doesn’t know what romance is.” I’ve been thinking about tweaking my narrator design to characterize him more as well, but that’s a whole other rant lol. Probably weren’t expecting this from the cute narrator guy huh /silly
CW, skip button & countdown mentioned
ramble + art
thought of this because while The Narrator is considered and or the most part is the antagonist or villain of The Stanley Parable (in endings like countdown), he is more than just The Narrator. Yes he does have power over Stanley and he is a very flawed character, there are times in the game where we see him just simply wanting to exist and be equal to with Stanley.
and Stanley has been thought of as an innocent guy when he isn’t. He is not a helpless individual, there are many endings where Stanley is doing things that an actually innocent helpless character would simply not do. Stanley has his own will going against The Narrator.
in short, The Narrator and Stanley’s characters are far more than evil narrator and innocent protagonist.
