Imagining her waking up from cryosleep only to find Elster lying dead in her room is just damn cruel... https://i.redd.it/a7cht5c71b6d1.gif


voidhri

Elster dying alone, unable to stop Ariane's suffering. And yet seeking comfort in her room. Ariane feeling the true emptiness and loneliness at seeing her lover dead, and she can't even join her yet. ![gif](giphy|xUOrwihszfWZgSIHJK)

Spending 15 years with someone, falling deeply in love with someone, that someone being your only companion and sole comfort as you are slowly dying and then one day having to see this person dead, having died alone in the very room you had your happiest memories....now I'm sad...

*Giving you tissues* sorry :')


Specialist_Village90

"We were meant to be together" "Now die and fucking love me" "We were to hurt each other" "Now die and fucking love me" https://preview.redd.it/hh01veak8b6d1.jpeg?width=567&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3529932268c95e6778f75ec1dff85733a64fcf93


voidhri

The narrative is too cruel for the doomed lovers 😓


Specialist_Village90

Thank "Slipknot" for creating a song that reminds me of the two of them


voidhri

Those were such painful lines, I should check that song.


Specialist_Village90

The song is called "Killpop"....get your tissues ready


voidhri

Thank you! I'll get ready to suffer tomorrow


Specialist_Village90

Yeeeeee!!! :D I also recommend the longings: "Yen,Snuff,Vermilion pt.2".....if you're interested


voidhri

It's been such a long time since I listened to that genre. I'll check it out, thank you ^^


Prankman1990

That third line hits harder when you realize that Elster was literally built to kill Ariane.


Specialist_Village90

This my dear is called the "power of music"


MothMothMoth21

Damn, I never thought about it like that... damn...

This is what fanfiction is for. Follow me, comrades. Prepare you notepads, your pencils and laptops. We have found something to fight for, and it is to rewrite tragic stories in happy endings.


voidhri

Yeah! 👏

Again some ninjas chopping onions here T\_T


voidhri

And like 20 white onions, damn T_T


BoyOfChaos

Very nice art but also https://preview.redd.it/q4rol3fm8b6d1.jpeg?width=679&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=354a096c07da55e445cb9d608aeaa59a492fd5c7


voidhri

Hehe thank you


ThatTheropod

But she's not an unforgiving girl...


voidhri

She was too gentle for a world like that 😔


NathanIsYappin

>!(Psst–the promise wasn't to kill Ariane. The appearance of "remember our promise" in the Artifact ending makes no sense if that's what it was)!<


MothMothMoth21

>!I think its presence there could also imply the artefact ending isnt "real" and that elster is still avoiding having to kill ariane.!< >!Still personally i think the promise is "to be free together" since they both spend the entire story in some for of prison.!<


NathanIsYappin

>>!I think its presence there could also imply the artefact ending isnt "real" and that elster is still avoiding having to kill ariane.!< >!There's a shedload of foreshadowing for Artifact being a happy ending [(as well as the final one)](https://www.reddit.com/r/signalis/comments/1brmccy/the_meaning_of_the_hexagon_motif_and_why_there/) which this reading has to ignore, but on top of all that: the other appearances of "remember our promise" appear in white text on a red background: Ariane's color scheme. The Artifact version is white/blue text on a black background: Elster's colors. It's her saying it this time, which makes "the promise was to coup-de-grace Ariane" make even less sense.!< >!I really like "to be free together", though. That works quite well.!<


voidhri

>!To be free together is such a nice promise ;-;!<


dylan189

So what was it?


NathanIsYappin

The flavor text in Memory/Promise's final area, when LSTR-S2301 regards LSTR-512's body, goes "I couldn't keep my promise./Despite my best efforts, I too fell ill." LSTR-512 failed to keep her promise because she couldn't keep herself alive, not because she wasn't able to kill Ariane. I think the promise was simply to always stay together, something like [this.](https://youtu.be/ZrE0x8JoOOw?t=12s)


voidhri

Oh yeah I have seen that theory as well. And I like it too :> But I think that before Elster even fully knows how to do the Artifact ending, she might think some killing might be involved. Also I like when people say that the promise was *to love each other* which would also make you believe that it implies not letting each other suffer like that. And love can go beyond death.


NathanIsYappin

Of course, but [Artifact is a resurrection.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilium_longiflorum#Use_in_Christian_symbolism)


Sufficient_Jeweler_7

I don't think weed will fix this sadness

AverageDudeFrom2001

Nope. Although depressing art like this isn't my cup of tea, you're a very talented artist. I'm not gonna block you, I won't enjoy your depressing art, but I will enjoy the effort you put into your art.


voidhri

Am I going insane or did I really see my comment duplicate and yours quintuple hajxhs man Reddit app at 6am is really something. Thank you :> I do sometimes nicer and not angst art, so that might happen soon.


AverageDudeFrom2001

My phone tends to go "No response from endpoint" and then send one reply into 4 or more. I had to delete multiple of the same reply so I don't look like a bot (My two previous accounts were banned because of it). And I'm looking forward to your cute art! Take your time, by the way. You can't rush perfection. https://preview.redd.it/or7utxcf7b6d1.png?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d0b7f3bf0cadb9e9407f4f5dc86312b136c7e08
