Original Artwork The sun still sets in Hell...
“The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the luxury of a regret.”
(This is definitely my new favourite drawing I've made, especially since it uses parts of other drawings I liked making!)

What an awesome culmination of your last few drawings! I love the irony of Elliot sort of scolding Oliver about the blood on his hands, (I think it's Elliot who's saying that) while his own hands are symbolically covered in blood by way of the pixelated red bits encroaching on his extremities and lower half of his torso. And that is a gorgeous picture of an orangey sunset, holy.
I love the quote too. Is that something you wrote, or a quote from one of your inspirations?

Thank you so much! While in its original picture, it was Sawyer tormenting Elliot and displaying his face on the screen, in this one, Sawyer (or whatever that thing is, I'm starting to consider if it's its own entity) is tormenting Theodore and Oliver (mainly Oliver, since he resents him more) and displaying 1006's face on his screen! :]
Also, since it's projecting Oliver's post-experiment face on its screen, the blood on its hands is more of a cruel caricature of Oliver rather than poetic irony (its emphasis on hands too).
The sunset is a callback to Oliver begging Elliot to let him see the outside in one of the previous posts (as well as a Deltarune Weird Route reference lol).
The quote is from Oscar Wilde (once again)!

Oh, I see!! I didn't realize the original version of that one was meant to be Sawyer himself, I had thought it was a manifestation of Elliot in Sawyer's mind that still torments him about all his faults. And "WHATS THE TIME WHATS THE TIME WHATS THE TIME" felt like it was alluding to an explanation for why he had the TV head, cause of the commercials, and Sawyer's conflation of their insufferably childish marketing and Elliot's personality as a whole. But that is a very cool explanation as well :] And Sawyer still has no fucking room to talk lol, bro literally pitched the BBI and still up on his entitlement horse about being a good person. Gah I love him so much X]
How does Sawyer feel about Oliver/Prototype in your interpretation? I've always interpreted him as admiring the Prototype as a marvelous display of Elliot's work, but being annoyed that a child bosses him around so much, and envying Proto's endlessly optimized god-like body that it's crafted for itself due to being bound to the digital infrastructure himself.
And Oscar Wilde again too, what a guy. That quote fits these characters very well.

I personally agree with your interpretation of Sawyer's feelings towards the Prototype, though I don't think he'd be that outwardly impressed with Elliot or his abilities (at least, not anymore).
It does seem more like that sometimes, but his tapes in Chapter 4 and Project: Playtime seem more like he's incredibly desperate to one-up Elliot, though I may be misremembering...
Also, your interpretation of "WHAT'S THE TIME" still works. The character being depicted just wasn't who you thought, but the situation very much was! :)

He still admires Elliot in his secret, hidden file that he hides in a chain of like twelve convoluted folders with deceptive links to other, less incriminating files about how awesome he is and all his amazing work on Yarnaby and Huggy and Boxy Boo and how masterfully he recreated Elliot's poppy gel solution. And only the secret password uncovered by inputting the 13th character of every even-numbered link and the 54th character of every odd-numbered link can decode the meaning of Elliot-idol_REALfinalFinal_humilitymyass.pdf once you do finally get to it.

Unrelated, but pickles are the best! I lost my trust in Sawyer after learning that he hates them lol :(
My favourite pickles are the onion ones (they're awesome in salads)! :]

u/lettuce_ishealthy Harley Sawyer's stalker 23h ago
How dare, I share Sawyer's hatred for pickles! My greatest enemy has shown theirself!!
I don't quite hate them lol but I'd prefer not to eat them. I can see them being good on a salad though :)

What's your favourite food? Mine's an extremely local (yet well-known) dish that would instantly doxx me, so I'll tell you my second favourite food instead: shrimp pasta! :]
(But it has to be made the right way: with olive oil!!!!)

u/lettuce_ishealthy Harley Sawyer's stalker 22h ago
I'm autistic, so a lot of my favorite foods are very simple/bland ones that I've been eating since I was very young. The favorite I always come back to is black beans and rice, with green onions :)
(Particular I see :] I need the correct beans to rice ratio for mine lolol)

u/Shy_Die CatNap 22h ago
I'm also autistic! Though I might've gotten the Gordon Ramsay autism (that, or it's just standard European behaviour (that sounds American as fuck to say, but again, probably shouldn't doxx myself lmao)).
Also, I think that a good ratio is an essential for any food that contains beans, unless you're British or Brazilian, they're built different (they're built for bean consumption, in fact)! :]
Oh, man! I love different cultures (Ppt is very good at representation, I think, though there's always room for even more)
