Footnotes

¹ Etymology: The first name is the romanized version of ‘Matthew’, which was one of the Twelve apostles. His version of the gospel is highly precise and accurate, which also reflects in Matteo due to the fact that he’s a rampant perfectionist in documentation. His last name is a deconstructed version of: Carioti → Cariot → Kerioth

² This is a callout to Matthew 7:7, which emphasizes the consistency of prayer. He did all of this, yet he was never heard. He doesn’t harbor any type of resentment or anger towards this absence of an answer, just a deep feeling of despair. The ‘forsaken’ feeling he expresses is also a nudge to Psalms 22:1.

³ ‘The Hermit’ comes from the Tarot Card, just like Crouzier was assigned ‘The Fool’. On the other hand, ‘The Poet’ is both given by his job and for the character archetype.

⁴ Matteo needs to use glasses due to his nearsightedness. He refuses to use them because he thinks he’ll look older if he does. He also argues it is not severe enough to warrant glasses.

⁵ This date is 3 days after September 14th, which is Dante Alighieri’s death date.

⁶ He is most likely to faint at supernatural sightings or members of the mansion. This also includes his own visions and hallucinations. It takes him about two to three minutes to wake up, and he remembers very little or nothing after doing so. Because of the constant fainting, his body also has constant bruises and cuts.

⁷ Both the itch and back pains allude to Judas Iscariot. In Dante's Inferno, he is punished by constantly being chewed on his upper body and back. The discomfort around his neck is also in reference to one of his two supposed manners of death.

⁸ The use of the Tuscan Dialect, which is a variation of Latin, is another reference to the Divine Comedy since this was the language that it was written in originally. The occasional undecipherable pages hint at the Voynich Manuscript.

⁹ Most of these include religious imagery, which is why he has an aversion to any supernatural/spiritual beings. He is able to remember some dreams, the most prominent one being where he feels himself throwing up Florins, the currency used in 14th century Florence in Italy. He has no clue what this dream means, but he wakes up extremely shaken.

¹⁰ His regular speech is most times comprehensible and he is capable of maintaining a conversation, but sometimes he goes on a tangent and shifts to a very incoherent and disorganized speech with no linked ideas.

Author’s Note

SIR ANOTHER OC HAS STRUCK THE MANSION!!! I started making this guy exactly on May 27th just after buying a copy of Dante’s Divine Comedy and inspiration struck (if you couldn’t already tell). He initially started as the idea of fusing two different archetypes/characters that contradict each other, but he eventually started to get a more fleshed out vision and design. I played around with some brushes and experimented with the background, and I ended up quite satisfied with it! He does have a full story that explains where he was before the mansion and how he got to it. And him and Crouzier do know each other, but that’s for another time…

Anyway!!! THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!! This is a really welcoming community and it’s been fun even if I don’t interact a lot. It’s nice to know that a couple of people are interested in what I do! There’ll be a little something written with him too, just for you to get to know him a bit more and his manner of acting. But the next post regarding MM is going to be a more detailed explanation of both his relationship chart and Crouzier's. I can't promise you anything, though. This burnt me out a lot and I'm nearing my finals. Maybe in a few weeks or a month? Who knows!!!

Ps. I hate this guy. With like, a passion. I hope Casimir or Trickster or Rosemary or whoever is in charge tortures him in the worst way possible. Like he could die and I wouldn't care. Actually? You guys can have him. But bonus points if you torment him. Can you tell I don't like him??

Backstory

Amanita could tell anybody in the Milkshake Mansion how she was born they just had to ask, and she would tell. Hell, even when she wasn't asked, she'd talk to herself about it. It was a weird thing to brag about, sure, but who wouldn't want to ask a question like that to someone like her? How does an imaginary friend form anyway?

And how do you get forgotten so quickly...?

You Know Why You Exist.

An imaginary friend in Amanitas' world is supposed to guide their creator into the dream they want to pursue when they grow up or a lifelong goal that they want to achieve. Thus, they don't have any goals for themselves that don't involve their creator.

-Help my creator find a new hobby

-Help my creator learn to be independent

help creator

help creator

help creator

An imaginary friend always had a list of things they wanted to help their creator with, and Amanita was no different.

Lets Be New!

Amanita remembers how she was born.

She came out from a small trash bin where the drawing of her had been thrown into by her creator. She wasn't offended by any means, just curious as to why. When the kid saw her, the scream that followed was unexpected in Amanitas case. It had taken a very long amount of time for Amanita to explain what she was doing here and what she was exactly.

It had taken a while for her to come to the question, but when she did, she was almost too eager with how she sounded, excited to know what had occurred before her birth. In which the creator answered softly.

"Well, i was just trying to draw to show my parents, but they probably wouldn't like how it turned out.."

"So you threw it away?"

"Yeah.."

"Did you not like my face or something?"

"No, it's just my parents-"

"AHA- there it is!"

"Huh-"

"You've got those old geezers ruining the fun for you!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You buddy, are just doing new stuff for those old geezers to gawk at you... sooooo why not do it for no reason at all! Just cause you wanna do it!"

" I don't know.. I have to study in a few hours, and if I don't-"

"WHO CARES! It's not like school will run you off for having a break! Let's have some fun! Be new!"

And that's how Amanita would remember her younger years listening, encouraging, helping, and more. Testing her limits as an imaginary friend just to see her creator try something different, it was what she was born for. She lived up to every expectation that was set. If her creator was lost, she had the backup map prepared. A goal lost due to discouragement? She shot the flare guns.

It didn't matter to Amanita. Her creator, getting frustrated, disappointed, jealous, or insecure, was all just a part of learning something new. There was no judgment. Always waiting for what her creator wanted to do no matter how many times others called it dumb or a waste of time.

Waking Up Gone

When Amanita opened her eyes, she would've expected the usual greeting of the white ceiling, which she did, and from everything else.

There was nothing. It was empty, no posters, no crumpled paper, no friend. It was all gone. It was just a white void. A very cold and confusing one, Amanita was so perplexed by her predicament. They were doing so well, years passing and smiling brighter than ever was something happening that she didn't know of? That couldn't be the case her creator was fine most of the time when they started playing when after coming back home.

Amanita didn't want to believe even if the thoughts that plagued the back of her mind said otherwise.

There wasn't a dream anymore, and any goal she had the road to was now pointless in her creators eyes.

The Void

(Small pocket dimensions in Amanitas universe that are usually empty and have only one being in them most of the time)

The Void is a blank space for imaginary friends whose purpose has now been extinguished. Their creators lost faith and hope in the dreams and goals they were born from now, leaving them without the need of the constant reminder of their failure.

The Void is a place where an imaginary friend will forget about themselves till their just a quiet husk or go through the same thoughts as their creator. Losing faith in the dreams they were born from and dissolving once coming to terms with failure.

Room For Two

It had been a long time since Amanita had heard someone's voice. She had been so invested in her thoughts, just to make sure nothing left her memory, that it would all just go back to normal, that she would just blink and see the actual wall she'd been waiting to see.

"It's been quite a while since I've walked into one of these."

Pocket dimensions weren't rare but hard to find. It was a different part of the universe that nobody usually got to see. Well, unless you were Trickster, both Amanita and Trickster didn't talk to each other much at first. Any type of interaction could possibly make Amanita forget something important, and that was something she couldn't allow to happen.

However after a while of Trickster coming almost everyday before leaving to handle other things, it became apparent to Amanita that she hadn't tried to at least ask how this entity was able to easily enter and leave the void... she wanted to do that as well.

So Amanita quickly began talking to the entity almost daily. After so long of not speaking to somebody, it was hard for Amanita not to jump from topic to topic. Conversations had jumped from many topics in just a few minutes and rarely had any cohesive explanation to them if summarized. But somehow, the entity could understand her, which brought Amanita some peace in a way. Even telling Trickster not to have any reason if they wanted to do something.

Learning eachothers names, giving little information as to what they were capable of, and at the rarest times Amanita would try to replicate an activity she would try to do with her creator back then. However, one day, Trickster had asked Amanita a question she hadn't the slightest a clue as to what the answer was.

"Amanita, you want to leave this void, right?"

It was a simple yes or no question, but to Amanita, it felt like more than just that. She was going to say yes, but it never felt that it was for her own sake. She wanted to see her creator if she ever escaped this void, but the reason she was here in the first place was because they wanted nothing to do with her anymore. She couldn't find any other reason as to why without including her creator in the process.

"I don't know, I could probably stay here for a few more years, and i wouldn't have a good enough reason for my answer to that."

"So you want others not having a reason for what they do. But when it comes to what you do, suddenly it applies?"

"..."

It took an almost torturous amount of months to convince Amanita to join the Milkshake Mansion. With the promises of being able to see new people and being able to make goals for just herself, even.

And after much thought, Amanita had accepted.

In Milkshake Mansion

Every resident and visitor knows Amanita exists in the mansion.

They just don't know where, so they can't beat her ass yet.

Amanita is always making some type of activity for any resident she wants to talk to that day. If they're ranting about a visitor annoying them?

"Hey, we should try to crochet!"

They have a bad dream, and Amanita is somehow in their room asking if they should try becoming acrobats for a day.

She usually interacts with visitors just to see what their goals are. (She has a hard time not going back to old habits.)

She never stays close or follows one person for more than a few minutes. However, after seeing a new visitor Trickster had taken in, not staying close was ignored entirely.

Because this person was somebody, she still thought about when alone, even after leaving the void for this place.

"Dande?"
