i love this game so muchh :)) i just finished replaying for the thousandth time!!!
i noticed that mandra calls the dc greedy piglet and i was wondering if theres a specific reason for that name (that i maybe missed) or are they just being silly 😭?
aaaa thank yooou! i'm so happy you enjoy the game this much! *-*
hahahahaha! i love this question, anon! 🤣🤣🤣 I had planned to touch on this in the second game, but it'll probably take *checks clock* at least 8 months for us to reach that part, sooo.......
here's the thing: Mand's nickname depends on what was your DC's "mistake" in Oscanza, and it's supposed to be, in the same way that they call Mathias "Mattie," a lighthearted way to poke you about something that torments you, hopefully until you're ready to let go. (Mand's logic...)
To Mandra, the only difference between "Mattie" and DC's nickname is that the intention behind "Mattie" is """pretty clear""" (to Mandra, at least), while Mand thinks of DC's nickname as a well-guarded secret, a private conversation they have with DC every time they use it, and that only *they* know about--a connection between Mand and DC that no one else has.
Mand hopes they and DC can still have a real conversation about Oscanza one day (they almost had one while keeping watch in the 1st game, but not to the degree Mandra wanted/needed).
the 3 versions of that nickname have: 1, a plot-relevant adjective + 2, a cute critter (to "soften the blow"). "greedy piglet" is what Mand calls a DC who sees themselves as "naive," and I won't explain WHY, but here's the excerpt from that section (about DC's "mistake" in Oscanza), so you can take a guess if you want!
ALSO, i love piglets and they are the cutest and "piglet" in portuguese is "porquinho" (or "poiquinho" if you're being cute 🥺🥺🥺) and i absolutely love that word, it's so adorable, you have to almost pout to say it and I 🥺🥺🥺🥺❤️💕
sorry. i promise i'm a serious writer.
