Guess what? More headcanon than I have of Forgotten Hill characters or things that work in my view of FH...
Mostly McMillan family... Cause, Yeah...
Ethan is closer to Camille than to the other kids, more due to an internalized rivalry with Nathan and Theo(other boys to be honest) over his father's upbringing, That's why he managed to get along with Ruth, and has a less bad relationship with Nathan, and even
Ethan wore secondhand/larger clothes during his childhood, but as time went on he really started wearing more proper/tight clothes, which he really likes.
Ethan is the one who changes clothes most frequently, since in addition to performing surgeries, he also sees regular patients and he doesn't want to scare them(at first)
Nathan still harbors some internal rivalry and need for being good at what he does, but mostly with Theo, due to Theo's competitive nature, while Ethan and Ruth just having their own thing
Ethan and Nathan are twins and look very alike, but if you look closely enough you can tell them apart,besides their hair(Even in their in-game appearance, you can tell they're different), It took Owen a while to learn to tell them apart.
If Camille had a chance back in life(or a chance to see the family again after everything), she would probably try to "move on," since family forgives, but she would still harbor a slight resentment. Ruth was in Camille's body for about a year before actually starting her revenge plan, and nobody noticed? And if they did notice, why didn't they do anything? Besides, she was young, sometimes she would get angry, or sad, or just confused by the situation.
Also, she would probably resent her family, not only for her uncles and cousins for not noticing the difference, but also her mother who "left" her with her father, and her father who was the main cause of everything happening to her. But it's also a bit of 1800s culture ingrained in her, meaning, they were the men who were supposed to take care of her, and they all ended up "betraying" or "abandoning" her.
Ewan has some kind of depression/depressed personality, not only because of his wife's death but also because of the way he was raised, and other reasons.
Camille has a predisposition to be melancholic like her father, so small things affect her more.
Owen has anger issues (which seems to be canon according to the book about the families), but Agnes has a more apathetic personality; she's quite neutral about many things.
Nathan has his father's anger issues, while Ethan is apathetic about certain things, like his mother, so in appearance they resemble their mother, in personality like their father (although Ethan has his mother's apathetic manner, like we seem he talking with Larson)
Josephine and Larson have known each other since their late teens, and became engaged around their early 20s(she's 26 in her missing poster)
The wedding was planned for very close to the time of Josephine's kidnapping; He lost a lot of money because of the last-minute cancellation.
If Larson got her back, he would stay with her anyway, even if she is different... he is too.

That... That wasn't on my 2024 bingo card. But let's go! Though in my mind you're now called moth anon.
"The moth."
Nathan McMillan x Jimmy Larson
Where the captor is captivated by his victim.
Warnings: obsessive behaviours, trauma, blackouts, abandonment issues, gore, idealisation, stalking, Christianity mentioned briefly, Nathan's pov, creative liberties, writer that can't write, not proofread, written in one go because inspiration hit harder than Nathan.
Author's note: anon don't be offended but the way I wheezed when I saw the request... I never thought my silly little theory could end up in this. I'm absolutely here for it though. It's giving Lord Ruthven and Aubrey if Polidori wasn't a coward (read "The Vampyre" by John Polidori for reference).
As usual, I write these for entertainment purposes only! Don't replicate any of this in real life, and if you find yourself with a "Nathan" in your life, get help.

Stage. Music. Action.
When kidnapping someone, Nathan knew he had to be mindful of their friends and family. He knew that when someone went missing, their loved ones would often come after them. It was exhilarating, truly. He'd finish making a puppet, and the materials for a new one would walk right into his theatre. Nathan would leave a ticket as bait and they would come, like moths going after a light... unaware of the fire ready to burn them.
Jimmy Larson however wasn't just a moth, blinded by concern and fear. He had a sharp mind. He wasn't even afraid to feed the cannibalistic puppet human organs. He knew. Somehow, Jimmy Larson knew it was about survival. He didn't waste time to discuss or reject the brutal rules imposed by the town of Forgotten Hill, he adapted and moved on. That resilience was a quality Nathan couldn't help but admire, stalking the young man from the shadows and the pictures on the walls. The more he looked, the more he realised that Jimmy wasn't walking into the flame, he was skilfully dancing with the fire.
He didn't want Jimmy to leave. Nathan never wanted anyone to leave, truly. He wanted them to stay forever, that's why he kept them as puppets in his basements and his closets. Even the ones that couldn't shine on stage anymore, they couldn't leave him. When miss Petersen left with the little cross, Nathan's blood boiled. How could she?! He had made her a star! She had graced the stage with her presence for so long, and just that evening Nathan decided that she could retire from her honoured career. He didn't plan to abandon her in the wardrobe of course; she would still have danced and acted for him, for the rest of her existence.
However, Nathan couldn't bring himself to be mad at Jimmy for helping her. Jimmy was so compassionate after all, and had no idea what would happen! It wasn't his fault, truly. It was that woman's fault, for tricking him and taking advantage of his kindness! A silver cross was still a silver cross, a useful object in Forgotten Hill, yet she didn't hesitate in asking for it and leaving Jimmy defenseless.
That kindness from the young man brought old memories to Nathan's mind... Gentle eyes, soft hands and warm smiles... His mother was kind, too. She encouraged him to pursue his passion, though only after Ethan showed his interest in anatomy and science. Subjects she could not stand, as a "good and christian" woman. She used to favour Ethan for his gentle demeanor, but as he took interests that were too close to those of their father, she distanced herself from the quieter twin. She loved the arts, and would ask Nathan to put on little shows for her in the afternoon. How could he forget all the times she'd listen to his stories and watch him move the little dolls he'd make, while sunlight hit her skin and made her eyes shine? Such a kind soul...
Nathan didn't remember a thing from when their mother left him and his twin. One day she was there, and the next she was gone. How cruel could it be to leave your own children without a word, an explanation, an apology, a word of comfort? Just disappearing...
As Nathan got lost in thought while hidden in the wall, Berry nudged him. His childhood horse never left him. He was always around, in life and death. Nathan gently pet his loyal friend, then resumed following Jimmy as he moved around the theatre. So much energy despite the dread and horrors filling the cursed town. It would have been a shame to turn him into a puppet and tame that indomitable spirit. Jimmy Larson was far too precious to be caged and tied up, Nathan had decided.
Just when he tried figuring out how to keep him, Jimmy found the exit ticket. Nathan felt rage boil in his veins. Leaving? How could he leave?! Didn't he see the world that was inside that theatre? Didn't he want to meet the man that ran such an incredible place?
No, he couldn't leave. Not just yet. Besides, Ruth would have loved to torture another Larson, and Nathan didn't want that. He wanted, no, needed to keep that man for himself. He couldn't give him up to the witch.
When he came back to his senses, Jimmy was laying on the ground, unconscious, just outside the theatre. Oh, what a mess. Blood was seeping onto the cobblestone from the back of his head. No, that couldn't, shouldn't... What did he do? Nathan kneeled by the limp body, pressing two fingers to his neck to look for a pulse, and immediately let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in. Jimmy was still alive, though injured.
Careful that his head didn't sway too much, he carried the man in his arms. With every step, Nathan struggled not to stare at the unconscious face. He didn't get a proper look before, the cracks in the walls were too thin. Jimmy was handsome, without a doubt. With his kindness and sharp mind... how could Nathan ever let that man go? He had to keep him to himself.
«Did one of your puppets break?»
The voice of his twin echoed for a moment in Nathan's head, before he shook his head. As if on instinct, he had walked to Agony Street, where the hospital was located. Ethan was staring at him through the mask's eyes, just a few feet away on the path.
«He's... Can you take care of him?»
With a little nod, Ethan led Nathan inside the hospital, to one of the rooms. Jimmy was still unconscious in the puppeteer's arms, not giving any signs of coming back to consciousness. As he was laid on the bed, Nathan couldn't help but stare at him. Ethan didn't say a word, instead proceeding to take care of the concussion his twin had caused to the man.
«He'll be out for a few hours, but he's not in danger. Should I call you back once he recovers?»
Nathan leaned back against the wall. Ethan started looking for something on Jimmy, until he found his wallet and documents. He didn't utter a word, just gave his brother an uncertain look, to which Nathan shrugged. Ethan was closer to Ruth, but surely he wouldn't betray his own brother by telling her about the last surviving Larson around.
«I can't keep him here for long.»
Nathan grimaced, pulling his mask off in frustration.
«As soon as he recovers, he'll have to leave.»
A venomous look to Ethan didn't result in a more pleasant option from the doctor. And Nathan was aware of why. He scoffed and turned his face to the far wall.
«At least... hold him back. He's good with puzzles.» Nathan murmured.
«Those are not lacking in this town. I will activate some of Clockwork's projects to slow the young Larson down. It will also serve as an alibi if Ruth finds out about this.» the doctor said as he walked to the door, eyes glued to his twin.
Nathan nodded. He had to let Jimmy go this time... But as Nathan closed the door of the room, following Ethan out, he knew it wasn't over yet. He still had Josephine, and Jimmy clearly cared about her.
It was just about patience.
Who was the moth now, though? The man who barely glanced at the puppeteer's painting, or the puppeteer that couldn't tear his eyes off the bright light called Jimmy Larson?
In modern times, what would Jimmy and Josephine's jobs be? I was thinking of something more freelance; I don't know if they would have conventional jobs, but I'm not sure to what extent that makes sense either, and that's would be between 2016/2019
Yes, I've already started the fic, but I need to think of a way to work on it Jimmy's pov
Yes! Ruth does exist in this au! She's a old witch, She lives in the cabin mostly alone; she won't be a major enemy, cause she didn't make It to the bigger power like she did in canon.
Also "tall weird teen boy" vibe for McMillan twins (but they're popular cause money Ig?) weird/rebel girl phase for Camille.
Who was the child who opened the door of Larson's room? Was it one of the missing children? The floating fetus that wanted to play? Lucy? I hadn't even realized that someone had opened the door for us(I usually play without sound because I'm listening to music), just some kid's laugh and in desillution we have Larson talking about it, "The child who helped me get out of the cell" bro what child??? That's why I replay it several times; sometimes I discover something new or something I didn't notice the first time.

So... I really want to make Josephine a ballerina in my modern AU, could I be biased because of her puppet appearance? Definitely, But I like the idea of her being more artistic and having a completely opposite vibe from Jimmy, but they fit together perfectly, and Jimmy will probably be a teacher... But like... A high school teacher with a Minimum wage, and teaching completely awful teenagers. I know she probably only has colored hair because of Nathan, but in my AU she's kind of an alt and a genuinely nice person
"It shows that it's time to accept change, because trying to control the uncontrollable brings frustration. Sudden changes of luck and new phases are on the way. The Wheel keeps turning."
Jimmy Larson, once a man simply living life with his fiancée, now finds himself caught in a prophecy caused by his ancestor to kill the witch
Well, here it is, I had a lot of fun making this one(I'll probably redo it when I improve my drawing skills), maybe I'll make a few more if I get good ideas, also, I'm making the kids in the Ninah style, It's going to take a while because I'm still terrible at Photoshop
