I love your point of view about the whole lore !

??? I'm not sure I follow.

In the game he is pure/clueless 1000%

The fact that he gives you a bloody rose while actively bleeding, the fact that he kills that karen for you THINKING you'll like it? The fact that you can accidentally roofie yourself by eating the circus food and he's like: "oh....right.....we have that ...."---day2 MC asks him to explain and he's like ">_>"

He's a silly, just a dangerous silly.

But trust me, you can see his silliness in the game just as you can see how dangerous he is in the AMAs (he's been PLENTY threatening in the AMAs).

He just has two sides of himself, he's not using us or anything. For example: I have a version of myself when I'm with my family, as opposed to when I'm at work or with my friends. Same idea.

TicketTaker: Basic rotary phone ring. A sound that specifically reminds him of those corded monstrosities from the 80s/90s. The man is old school and believes a phone should sound like a phone.

Doctor: Chopin's - Marche Funèbre.......Yes...it concerns everyone whenever he gets a call during their check-ups.

Jester: Whatever ringtone Hannibal Lecter has honestly.

Harlequin: He's constantly torn between Your Idol by The Saja Boys and the main them of the horror movie Halloween.

Pierrot: Before meeting you, it was whatever general ringtone the phone came with. After, he's made sure to get something from one of your favorite bands so that you'd strike up a conversation with him about it. Unfortunately, Harlequin often steals Pierrot's phone to replace the songs with fart noises.

You know how he has asks for Columbina on Patreon?

And how he had asks for the rest of the circus here on tumblr for a bit?

HE SAYS. THIS LIL' SHIT SAYS. THAT COLUMBINA IS ON PATREON FOR A FEW DAYS. THE TROUPE IS HERE ON TUMBLR.

THEY NEVER GOT TO MEET.

I'm writing fanfics of the circus members, but I'm too much of a perfectionist and I feel like I'm not representing them well.

Do you have any advice for writing them, something that you always keep in mind for each one when writing about them?

Hey there! most of my advice on how to write them is in my tfc headcanons tag or my writing tag (which you will find both at the bottom of this post). Though basic ways I go about writing them is as follows:

Pierrot: Dangerous, amorous, and naive are the base things to remember about him. He believes in affection the same way a cat does when it brings you a dead mouse: "Why are you upset? I was just showing you how good of a provider I am and that I will kill your enemies.....isn't that lovers are meant to do?" He's sweet, doesn't get social cues, but he is not to be underestimated in his passion/clingyness/strength. He is an artist in his stalking---though his low self-esteem/image means he is willing to change everything about himself to please his love---a problem to be sure.

Harlequin: Every other word is a lie, and every other word after that is the truth. He will NOT be direct in anything he says, even if you were to ask him 'how was your day?' he'd likely answer: "Oh? A little good, a little bad---why so interested? Are you trying to flirt with me?" ---Harlequin loves people who are blunt/genuine especially because he has trouble being that way himself. He responds well to people being truthful, but he hides his own honesty with flirting, sex, and charm.

Doctor: The character simply says how he feels or what it is without always reading the room. He will point out whether or not you're fidgeting, blushing, or nervous and likely make those emotions worse, even if it's far from his intention. Doctor loves cute things, loves learning too! He is sensitive about how big and scary he is, knowing he can't go most places. As such, he prefers solitude---but at the same time he craves a companion who won't judge him for his eccentricities. An example of his dialogue is as follows: "Raining cats and dogs, you say? Strange....I don't see anything out there other than water...."

TicketTaker: Service with a smile that hides his true sadistic nature. TicketTaker has the manners of a 5 star butler, making people believe he is nice and approachable, however....he is not. He is ultimately afraid of humans, HATES them---and is uncomfortable by their mere presence. Bil only respects Jester and he hates chaos. He is a VERY meticulous person, always needing things done or folded a certain way. Bil also is found to adjust the circus member's clothing if it is slightly off---this is his way of showing he genuinely cares. But with humans? He is like that retail worker who greets you with a smile but behind that smile secretly wants to kill every customer who comes up to the register. Bil may find humans beautiful at times, but in the same way you would a tiger; a tiger is dangerous and beautiful, is it not?

Jester: The most complex, arguably, of them all and the most sadistic. His dialogue is that he will start and end a conversation in ONE sentence: "Ah, so you found your way back to our circus, did you? Certainly it would have been best had you stayed at home where it is safe? Let's not make that mistaken again." Jester enters a room and EVERYONE feels his presence. He will not speak to those who do not give him the proper respect, instead allowing his subordinates to handle it if necessary. Jester could talk his way out of a knife fight and leave the attacker trembling in their boots. He enjoys seeing lowly humans shudder under his heel (Bil does as well btw). Jester commands not only the conversation, not only the room, but everyone around him--whether you realize he has or not.

What was your reaction when you first saw the monster designs?

I've only seen two: Pierrot and Doctor. Though I have seen some of Harlequin's chest when Neko was feeling like TEASING ME!! UGHHH!!

Here are my reactions:

Pierrot: O.O "Omg. I don't think anyone is going to expect this..."

Doctor: "HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK---yautja fans will be happy..."

REally tho i shouldn't be allowed to write w/ lack of sleep but here's a preview of ch.2 "Of Halrequin's and Jalapeños" as I'm doing it now:

“Perhaps it’s time to use that safe word we talked about,” he hummed.

“Fuck you.”

"THAT'S DESTINY RIGHT THERE"

Thank you and Neko so much for sharing your art with us. You guys are amazing.

0.0 (art BELOW) Oh my ajkldfjsakdj "AS IF IT WERE A PAST LOVER"---SCUSE YOU, I AM THE SIMILE MASTER HERE KLJADLSFKJSLKJDLJKD!! j/k j/k That's interesting XD I didn't draw anything IN the comic itself BUT I did sketch out certain characters/perspective as well as assist in designing Harley's old hat to help neko with the comic. He took my sketches (the VERY few i gave) and referenced it from that visually, but omg the thighssssss. I GUESS HE LIKED THEM TOO.

LMAO---that's amazing, I didn't even notice until you said lkadjfklsfkdjlsdfakjlsdjkl Glad he liked it enough to use the sketch!!

Here's part of the original sketch if you're curious that i made for him to use as an optional ref:

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.
