Bnuuy

Like, imagine TT was actually rebellious as hell and it's an embarassing topic to bring up now

ahahah LET'S GO! BUT IMMA MAKE THE HEADCANONS SHORT FOR MY OWN SANITY!!!

REMEMBER---HEADCANONS----NONE OF THIS IS CANON (As far as I know):

Pierrot: Got wayyyyy stronger one day. Like, before puberty he could barely lift a bunch of sticks and now he accidentally can knock over a small tree if he taps it hard enough. Poor thing was afraid of his abilities for agesssss.

Harlequin: Got way horny---one day he stayed by a camp where he saw two other teens having sex and now he's obsessed with being a perv and watching them. He tried to get Pierrot in on it but the good boy just got flustered and ran away the first time covering his crotch. Harlequin laughed, but stayed to watch the show~

Doctor: Finally got his adult feathers but also realized his moods were somewhat imbalanced. One day he was unable to get his favorite fruit because humans had cut down the last tree near his nest, so he lashed out---scratching all the bark in the area, only to have to find another home because the locals got scared.

TicketTaker: Since he's had to blend amongst humans to survive, the ticketer was able to see movies in a theater on the rare occasions he could afford to. One day he accidentally got into an 'underground' theater where they showed porn, and at first he found it strange--seeing all that meat, naked, and smushed against each other until his brain rationalized it, made him imagine the bodies as monsters he'd found attractive over the years, and his body began to react. Rushing out of there, he took care of his problem before finding a local monster speakeasy, hoping to relive his frustrations futher.

It IS very personal for them to show their true selves in the light to MC. in the dark where MC cannot see? No prob.

What makes the members the angriest?

To put it simply:

Pierrot: Humans treating him as they always have (cruelly)--but this also makes him very sad.

Harlequin: Being shown genuine/soft affection. He might actually bite you for this...

Doctor: Destroying his research, home, and experiments.

TicketTaker: Disrespectful humans.

So... if the characters themselves came across a magic lamp that grants wishes, what three wishes would they make?

Haha, glad you like!!! I have a lot of fun with it but I do admit to knowing some things >_>

<_<

I may or may not sprinkle some canon here and there~

but who knows~

I've been wrong before so.....

EITHER WAY----WISHESSSSS---WHAT WOULD THEIR THREE WISHES BE!?!?

Pierrot: For MC to live as long as he, for humans to be less cruel and more generous, the ability to provide for his loved ones for all time.

Harlequin: a motorcycle, the ability to be fully naked in front of humans without them noticing anything out of the ordinary, more nude beaches.

Doctor: He'd have no wishes and just try to dissect the genie.

TicketTaker: for all humans to be wiped from the planet, for all prejudice against his species to be eradicated, and the last wish he'd give to Jester.

I've mainly got 2 questions

When writing Harlequin, how can someone describe his behavior when he's sad?/upset?guilty?

(I mean, as in how do you often make him seem emotional yet himself)

2- Is stoker open about his human relationship with monsters, or does he just keep it under the table?

GREAT QUESTION!

How to write Harlequin being sad/upset/guilty while STILL being in-character? Make it that he basically shuts down. When Harlequin is sad, he is QUIET.

That alone is strange behavior for him and would alert those around him that something is wrong. Harlequin can lash out, even BEGGING for a fight if he's upset or guilty. I wouldn't be surprised if he literally went up to Pierrot and stabbed him JUST so that Pierrot would punch him in the face. Harlequin might even let Pierrot beat him up because he believes he deserves it.

The end of the second chapter of my jalapeño fic as well as the third chapter explore this well, I think.

2.) SO. ALSO A GREAT QUESTION.

Stoker, when he's single, doesn't draw attention to that---he knows other monsters would be wary of him at best or think of him as an abomination at worst. Some monsters get curious about his necklace to which he shrugs off, implying that they're from his 'victims' so that they'll stop pestering him.

Stoker only talks about his affairs with humans to monsters he deems trustworthy or similar to him (hence why he tells Pierrot almost right away). Plus, The TrainMan is ''''''strangely'''''' loved by humans throughout for some heroic deed or two he did. Because of this, most monsters steer clear of him since, to them, he might be claiming territory with ever store/establishment he enters.

Yes, Pierrot means that the new red of his costume will hide FUTURE blood stains--since, as we've seen from the comic, he is prone to violent outbursts at random.

Do you remember in day1 of the game itself where MC points out that he doesn't look like a traditional pierrot? Pierrot then replies that the circus had to 'modernize' his outfit. This 'modernization' is a lie to cover up the fact that Jester made Pierrot's outfit red because Pierrot is so violent.

So, if in the future Pierrot DOES accidentally kill a human (or many humans) again---now the blood will blend into the deep crimson of his costume. This is by design.

The suggestion however was to make Pierrot's costume red, and Harlequin was the one who came up with the idea.

Realistically? I'd say yes and no.

An MC who refuses the pink ticket and doesn't help Pierrot, survives yet another day. Hopefully so throughout the circus's stay and aren't offered another pink ticket by someone else.

As for refusing PIERROT'S ticket.....no.

It's true~

Though I can see TT getting into a fight with DL Harlequin about this after Jester's death: "It's NOT the same," the blue creature stood up, his mouth practically frothing, "we always expected your 'pet' to leave us, it was only a matter of time! Jester was special, a god amongst men and demons alike--this shouldn't have happened! HE WASN'T SOME WEAK HUMAN--HE WASN'T--!" "Like you?"

Harlequin's tired eyes narrowed as Bil's throat tightened, short claws extending as far as they went before lunging at his newest prey.

So----normally I really DON'T like the idea of MC turning into a monster. 9/10 times it just reminds me of vampire romances where the human character (usually a woman) wants to, and ends up becoming, a vampire---which is 'meh' to me. Kinda wraps things up wayyyyy too nicely imo.

However, I do have a specific short story in mind where MC is slowly turning into a monster against their will--that might be fun to explore (think Tokyo Ghoul styles).

But yes....basic tasks like eating and such? Sure, they'd help. Pierrot however clearly has a different definition of what is and isn't '''normal''. For one, killing, to him, is completely fine. This will be something that an MC who grew up human will have to deal with.

GOOD QUESTION!

THERE ARE DOZENS OF REASONS BUT--

--I think the most obvious example is in day2 IF Harlequin bites your neck and IF you refuse Pierrot to cover the menace's bite with his own.

In most yandere stories/games, whenever MC refuses them they either IMMEDIATELY change their mind (and force MC to do what THEY want to do) or blame MC for not being compliant. They often will treat MC as a child in a grimm fairytale saying: "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU, BUT I DO!"

Pierrot however?

He blames HARLEQUIN, when you refuse him.

Not you.

That is already a HUGE difference from most yandere games, where WE are blamed for not meeting the YANDERE'S specific vision he has of us in his head. Instead of US being wrong, it must be someone else's influence. Pierrot often (but not always) sees our defiance as a learning opportunity to get to know us better, which, unlike most yanderes, implies he can GROW from his obsessive behavior.

Additionally, Pierrot is one of the ONLY yandere characters I've ever seen that when he says he won't hurt you---I ACTUALLY BELIEVE HIM.

If MC were first human and later turned into a monster it would make no difference. He fell in love with MC as they originally were. Even if MC were to turn into a creature, an ant, or even a fairy--they'd still be HUMAN at heart because that is how MC would see themselves and ACT as themselves.

The fact is, MC would be a human even if their appearance changed.

And all of the monsters would instinctively knows this, they'd even treat MC still as a human despite their new looks---at best, they'll just teach MC their ways---but MC is still human. They are not the same as them just because they look it.

But yes, Pierrot would love MC no matter what.

Also, he has fallen in love with a monster before and could even do so again in the poly route should you choose. So, him loving a monster was NEVER impossible--it just wouldn't be the same story as it is in the game with pierrot and a human.

Again though.....he fell in love with MC as a human, now they've changed physically (in your story)---doesn't matter....they still think/act/are human inside. Pierrot would be fine with this and likely enjoy the dependence this sort of MC would have on him---as MC would literally NEED him to survive, and could NOT go back to their normal life.

So lets say MC, is able to convince Jester to let them take Ticket Taker to meet her family (and somehow Jester lets her but it took them A LOT of convincing and maybe making a deal of some kind for an exchange) And their family is like, very open with mc’s whole new “tall but gentlemen of a boyfriend”

Now let me get to the point of the question: mc’s grandma knew/had met a monster in her youth, and basic had always told storys of such to mc. Making her a bit more open to monsters (even if she can be scared of them at times)

But how would ticket taker feel about a big family of people. Especially humans, being all ok with him and his family being around?

Once more you dont have to answer this at all! But it would help a lot to get some insight…

I would think that MC should consider how uncomfortable this would be for TicketTaker.

I also don't really get....why they'd need Jester's ''''permission'''' to go??? Jester doesn't control Bil--it would be up to Bil to decide if he WANTS to go. Jester, at best, would try to convince TicketTaker not to take such a big risk, but otherwise he cannot nor would not stop him unless he thought that visiting your family would be dangerous for the circus.

That being said, MC.....should know that this is hard for him.

It'd be best if he were to just meet the family with one person or two at a time in a safe environment. Show him all the exits in the house, make sure it's not a big family gathering (he would NOT want to go). I feel that Bil, just as the other monsters, would do this once for you and then never again. It's too big of a risk, and reminds them of a lot of traumatic things.

Here me out! Hear me out!!!

Jester as a cat

Now hold on! Gingle Gingle! 🔔

He has such a cat like personality to me,the sass,the stride I mean he works the cat walk, the thousand yard stare,the lack for a liking to touch without his permission, and the unnecessary need to climb on top of something or do the weirdest things. (Thise last two are a little joke about how he was in his performance, like sir stop it,you're making me want that cake good sir!)

I just picture Doctor doing an experiment and just turn Jester into a cat and somehow someway a VERY smoll toddler finds him with there parent and just...takes him home. One of those crazy scenarios and yes the toddler is actually sweet and not crazy.

Pretty sure it's likely that Pierrot just found some of Harlequin's magazines rather than videos. Videos are bulkier and harder to travel with, doesn't make sense for a circus to have too many vhs tapes or DVDs, let alone even a TV to watch said videos.

Enjoy another AMA, everyone! And thank you for all the support and kind messages! Aproveitem mais um AMA pessoal! E obrigado pelo apoio e as mensagens gentis!
