Could you tell us about your TK/432?
YES OFC!!!
(they/them for both tk and 432)
in my version of tsp, the narrator was so exhausted after struggling to create stanley that he just brought in empty humans from other universes to act as the co-workers. timekeeper was tasked with keeping an eye on this universe, and so they decided to possess one of these bodies, which happened to be 432.
originally, 432 had straight dark hair, tan skin, and a blue suit, however as timekeeper slowly infected their body, their hair became wavy, they gained vitiligo, and every item of clothing they try to wear loses all saturation.
at the start, tk and 432 were separate entities in the same body, however they spent so long linked together that their minds have severely affected each other's and now if anything manages to separate them, they can both die. They also merged personalities, giving both a combination of paranoid seriousness and silly unprofessionalism. They can change form at will, from 432 to timekeeper. Right now, both of them consider themselves to be both entities, and accept the situation that they have.
road trip time yippee!!

Misconceptions in TSPUD
Stanley and The Player are separate people. Stanley does not control what he does, only briefly managing to seize control in certain instances (Bucket Escape Pod Ending, Bucket Destroyer Ending, Freedom Ending)
The Narrator isn’t the one in control, you are. The man can’t fix everything with a snap of his fingers, it’s up to you to stop the cycle.
The Narrator doesn’t know Stanley’s not in control. He only finds out in the Not Stanley Ending. As for the Broom Closet Ending? See next point.
Stanley is playing the game. When you click any key, you hear keyboard clicks. On the title screen on the original 2013 game and before the TSP 2 Expo, you see Stanley’s computer with the game’s menu displayed. That’s why there’s miscommunication - you are controlling a man playing a video game where he himself is the protagonist.
Settings Person doesn’t care about Stanley, he cares about you. They talk with you before even starting the game, when you’re not in control of Stanley, they never refer to you as such, and if he cared about Stanley - why did he leave him in the Skip Button Room? Stanley would’ve been completely awake and aware but unable to move the entire time, same thing happened in the Not Stanley Ending.
The Narrator is a prick, a real prick, but he’s not an absolute asshole. You paid for the game, play it, and break it apart, and you’re shocked that he’s upset? Imagine some person breaks into your house, starts tearing everything up, you get mad, and then you’re framed as the asshole.
Adding onto the last point - this shit’s a video game. The Narrator knows he’s not actually leaving you forever in the Hole, or sentencing you to a painful death in the Countdown Ending - it’s a video game. He knows you’ll just reset. He literally says this in the Half-Life 2 mod version of the Games Ending - when he abandons you, he says he expects you to reset the game.
Istg almost all of these come down to the fandom forgetting that it’s a fucking self aware video game
Good news, I’m off my antibiotics now, so I should be a whole lot more patient with the discourse lately.
Im going crazy
I love Older men so much.
A sketch for my time keeper OC (TK)!
Uhhh new TK design
(warning for eyestrain!!)
I wanted it to kinda be a mix between blob and abstract in a way lol
Tfw you lose your identity and all your memories of who you used to be after dying, and all you remember is your childhood friends who barely even remember you themselves because they're also dead, so you just sit in a lonely void, praying for the day you can at least remember your name so you can have some partial sense of an identity. Couldn't be August. /silly
Chat, did I cook? Did I COOK?! 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
I am not doing this shit again. My homework piled up so massively.
Detailed pieces under the cut:
Unfortunately I used a reference for this 😔 My bad everyone.
Comparing my Narry design and TK design, I realized how much I don’t like a lot of the elements in Narry. Creating TimeKeeper’s design was easy. Clock with a suit. But for Narry? Design is completely subjective.
There’s something so off about it that even comparing to other Narrator designs, mine is just.. weird? Idk if it’s the hair, the color of the hair, or maybe the whole outfit. But then again, I like my men in gothic vintage suits so.. uhm.
You know what I’ll just give him a haircut >:/
A mockup scene, I guess. Narrator as the Phantom/Erik Destler , Stanley as Christine Daee, and TimeKeeper/Employee 432 as Viscount Raoul de Chagny. They’ll have their own respective names for this AU. ;)
Wuh oh, what do you have there Timekeeper?
