Mal du Pays propaganda!

I am not too sure how to introduce myself, so... I'm Moon! Or Moontale. Or MoontaleDNO if you want to go with the long name, but I usually go by Moon or Moontale, and I go by she/her. I'm a student in 3D animation, and I am totally normal about In Stars and Time. So normal I'm writing a whole fic about an AU for it but I'm normal I swear. ✧ MAIN INTERESTS: ✦ In Stars and Time ✦ Kirby There's other stuff I like, but I mostly post Kirby and In Stars and Time stuff. (Well. 99% of my latest posts are ISAT related but. You know.) ✧ LINKS: ✦ Commissions ✦ AO3 (For the ISAT AU fic) ✦ Wish for a Family AU Masterpost ✦ Youtube

Cause yes, technically they are a terrible person, but if all you knew was the pain and suffering and beliefs that everyone hated you/Siffrin, being created in that very moment and holding all those emotions-

I do not think you would act 'normally' or 'correctly.'

Yes yes yes !! Absolutely!

I mayhaps got another silly question,,

What could be every mdp favorite birds 👀? And do they have a reason why :o?

(I had that question on my mind because of Vindicta makes me think of a white wagtail bird,, don't explode me i swear i have a reason /hj)

I! Actually have no idea. I don't really have enough knowledge on birds specifically to answer that question... Definitely birds that live by the water, though. Or magpies. Because go my MDPs, go and steal shiny stuff. (They all do that. Mostly the Teen one actually but. Yeah.) As an apology for not being able to answer properly to that... Have a wagtail bird vindicta :p (Even if I can't draw birds... Hope I got it ressembling enough..... Probably not....)

Hello and welcome to this Vindicta AU related doodle dump :p Because I might as well post them here. Because why not. There's quite a lot of them. Like. A lot. Everything under cut!

Lil Mal officially joins the party!! Obviously everyone is happy about it and totally not reluctant at the idea! ...Right?

Pulls out comically large pot and runs away /silly

I was wondering though what does Vindicta think of Loop? I know you wrote a bit of it ans what happens to Loop when they try to help the party and get blinded but does Vindicta ever find out Loop was once a Siffrin as well? Does that ever change their opinions on them?

Come here, come here... Don't worry any Vindicta ask is welcome... Always a pleasure to answer to those... And! That is a really good question actually!!!!! I was thinking about the fact they probably would know, or find out very early on, which is why Loop was overall doing just fine/not being included in the torment the party is going through. They already "understand" and lived through the pain, after all! (And the wish also was mostly targeted towards the party... That probably influes towards that as well.) Plus, at the very beginning of the "show", Loop probably saw that as a kind of good thing in a way! THEIR family is staying around longer, and the other Siffrin is locked up in a random space! That only means they can try and reclaim THEIR family! They already helped them just before, they can help them more and be useful! So they can love them again! So a the very beginning, Loop actually was kind of siding with Vindicta, too! Vindicta who sometimes visited them by using a random Mal du Pays instance as a vessel kinda thing. (So they could communicate with Loop while focusing on something else. Who knows, maybe Loop gave them some ideas of things to make the party go through so they could, you know, just go and do that instantly!)

But eventually... Loop realizes that what Vindicta is doing is not. Too good??? Like sure, it gives Loop a sense of "they need me to help them so they love me!", but if they truly love 'their' family... They understand that they should actually do their best to try and get them out of this. Which is something Vindicta quickly notices, but all this part already got mentioned in the other post about Vindicta Loop.

So yeah. In summary, while at first Vindicta was okay with Loop, helped with the fact that they also are a Siffrin, they quickly set that aside once they were trying on stopping their plans that are "supposedly" to "help their Siffrin". That's the one who made the wish, after all. So of course they will be Vindicta's "favorite Siffrin". But while they could've made Loop get through the same things as the main party, they didn't. Is it because of the wish not including Loop? Or is it because they know that Loop already suffered enough, and they feel like making them a husk of themselves is some kind of gift all while making sure they don't bother Vindicta and their plans? Who knows, who knows!

Pls dont stop making us yum yums I like them

Say, if their dearest Siffrin would request a hug, would they hug them? It WOULD benefit them and it isn't something out of question, SO RECHNICALLY HUGS ARE BENEFICAL AND TRUSTING AND COME ONNN-

If you could choose a song for each mdp design you have (Or the ones u rlly like) what would it be👀? Would it be to match the lore ?

I actually have songs for them!! Or. Well. At least the three "main ones".

For Lil Mal, mostly Just be Competent. I really want to animate something on the whole song once the fic is finished or something. It really fits their vibe of wanting to fit in with everyone else, even if they're a Sadness and everything, and overall... Dunno, really feels Lil Mal core to me. There's also Dear Pet Rock, although this one is more of a "duo song" between Lil Mal and ACT 5. Something about ACT 5 caring a lot about the baby child and baby child comforting them, and ACT 5 feeling stressed out about Lil Mal having disappeared and all. I wanna animate something simple to that one one day, too.

As for ACT 5, I also have multiple. A few Will Wood songs, the first ones coming to mind being Pro/Con or The Main Character. Both work I think. They're just a little coocoo crazy with a bit of a main character syndrome but it's okay they're baby!! Another one that I really link to them too is Thing by Steampianist, which actually has a draft ready for an animation if I ever work on it more, which mostly fits ACT 5 after they leave the other MDPs as their memories get fucked up and they get heavy identity issues and believe they're Siffrin/Get disgusted or stressed out towards any of their features making them look less like "Siffrin".

Had a small evil thought of someone experiencing Siffrin's allergies at random, would that be possible with Vindicta?

Yes, they kinda all have different torments. Aside from some that are more of a "general" thing, as in some deaths that are not related to party members in general, Vindicta occasionally goes more personal with the torments! As for silly little examples. You know the bad touch event? You know how Siffrin felt gross? No, no, Siffrin did NOT feel gross! Isabeau made them feel gross because Isabeau is mean mean mean! Isabeau is the reason why Siffrin had such low self esteem about being loved because they felt too disgusting to be loved! Gotta make the fighter feel disgusting for wanting to be loved/loving Siffrin then amiright! - Vindicta probably

Or maybe! The Change God was so rude to Siffrin, and so nice to Mirabelle... It's not fair! Not fair not fair not fair!! What did Siffrin do wrong, huh?! Mirabelle did much much worse! She should feel the Change God's rudeness too!!

I HIGHLY doubt the Change God would be a fan of Vindicta creating a copy of them to torment Mira. Insert a rotoscoped animation of Vindicta getting bitch slapped by the Change God here. I don't really have any for Odile in mind right now, aside from stuff really similar to the ACT 5 "friendquest" ish, and for Bonnie... Do know that your evil thought was something I had in mind :p Well, not exactly exactly, but I did think of some of the party dying to food in a similar way to Siffrin with pineapple. Although, yes, Vindicta can technically temporarily make the party allergic to pineapple or any other thing if they wished to. Which would be quite unfortunate in the scenario that Bonnie still had food to give to the party...

(i spent so long putting this meme together, and even longer typing out the image id. please laugh)

Your stuff is actually what helped me realize how much I do adore MDP. They're fascinating and more should be made with them /silly

Right now though your Vindicta au is rotating so much in my head. I got to a post you put of how this au came from the Digital Circus Song "The One Who's Running the Show" and thats been rotating in my head almost nonstop. Would it be something Vindicta do? A silly song and dance at least? To show the party exactly who's in charge?

Is there any other small facts of Vindicta that you would wanna share but haven't gotten the opportunity too? Does Siffrin ever try to talk with the hive mind MDPlings?

Huhuhuhuh... Hell yes... My propaganda suceeded... I totally agree... The world needs more MDPs... (ALSO IF YOU DO DRAW THEM. I WANNA SEE!! RAHH!!)

As for Vindicta!! Yes. Yes they would. They have no reason to aside from me being self indulgent and enjoying imagining the lil guy singing and dancing around while mocking the party (and also because I really want to animate the song with Vindicta... Or well at least I do it in my head for I will NEVER be able to fully animate a song. Or maybe in 3D but I'm not good enough at rigging just yet and I'm terrible at rendering and all to do the whole thing myself, and I cannot 2D animate comfortably so. Maybe bits of it could be animated or at least drawn. I'm not sure yet. I did try to draw something at some point but I never liked it so I just. Gave up on it. Here is the sketch though in case anyone is curious) But yes. They definitely would do that. Gotta keep the show entertaining!

As for little small facts for Vindicta...

I know I already mentioned that they were. Easily frustated and angered. But they're also really easy to ragebait because of that. It's not recommended, but they take things personally VERY easily and does not like being criticized about their ways of doing stuff. BUT! They also like the praise. MAYBE they will make the torture a bit less violent if they like you enough. (But even if the party were to lower the intensity of their torture, I HIGHLY doubt Vindicta will ever stop completely nor trust them. Because, as mentioned on another post, they see them as pure manipulative evil.) This one is more of a fact towards the party in Vindicta AU, but they always use the moments when Vindicta leaves to check on Siffrin (although they don't know that's what they're doing at first, but they find out eventually/quickly enough) as a break/intermission of some kind. They use it as a way to try and find ways to get out of this whole mess, where they could find Siffrin, if there's anything they could use against Vindicta... And that's when they remember about, you know, the star head guy who helped them through the House before everything kinda crumbled! So they often go to the Favor Tree and talk with Loop who is trying their best to help the party... Until they can't anymore. Oopsie! Thank you Vindicta! Another lil fun fact about Vindicta. I'm not sure if I mentioned it already, but they are FILLED with Wish Craft. Probably a bit too much for their own good but I don't know if there will be consequences because of that. Maybe. I think the Universe shattering and Vindicta kinda having to keep it together because "they're not finished here", is quite enough of a consequence already. And it's also thanks to Wish Craft that Vindicta can torture the party! That's what they use to recreate places and events, force looping, recreate people (even if they often use other MDPs for that... Was thinking about the "NPCs" being replaced by MDPs that have kinda the shape of said NPC, just so the party can't ask them for help. Then again maybe that a MDP instance will at some point fight back against Vindicta. I don't know yet. Could be a possibility. Glancing in the Lil Mal equivalent MDP instance's direction.), and overall why they're pretty strong. They are still level 99 like Siffrin in ACT 5 too, which! Definitely doesn't help with the "oh what if we try and fight them upfront" idea. They also can do slight shapeshifting to take the appearance of whoever fits best for psychological torture! Oh. And you still can scare them away with a croissant. And as for if Siffrin tries to talk to the hivemind MDPs... Yes! Sometimes!
