#tfc fools

i want to ask TFC-related stuff:

in your opinion, what do you think the monsters do with the Fools before leaving the town? do they eat/kill them all or left them and unhypnotized them all in random places?

just curious!^^

I will preface this with a disclaimer: this is a headcanon, I have no knowledge about the Fools beyond what has been strictly presented in the game. I respect Neko immensely for his strict sense of story and pacing of details because there are plenty of things I don’t get to know even as a friend and moderator for the official account. Views stated on this (my personal) blog should always be taken as my own personal thoughts, ideas, theories and whatnot and are not inherently canon.

Okay! That out of the way, I’ve been theorizing that, when the circus moves, the Fools are either eaten or released from whatever hypnosis or soul-stealing curse that’s put on them while they’re acting as circus Fools. I say this mostly because that would be a LOT of people to transport and document (or forge documents for), and it would also be one hell of a legal mess to figure out how to cover up that many missing persons.

…though honestly now that I’ve typed that out, I suppose it would be even weirder for missing people to suddenly become un-missing conveniently around the time the circus moves somewhere else. Oh, now that’s a pickle! <XD

This is really where I hope we get to see more of Carol, since I imagine her character role will help us directly learn more of what’s going on (and why they are picked/given the pink ticket in the first place)

So we know that the humans kept by the circus are referred to as Fools and Dolls. While those could be interchangeable terms, I think they're at least slightly different.

I think dolls are humans that the circus keeps and belong to specific members (shown by the marks on the mask-- Carol seeming to have been claimed by the Ticket Taker, and the other obviously being claimed by the doctor.)

I believe that Carol and the human handing you the agreement to sign are 'dolls'. Their outfits are slightly different from the fools we see handing out flyers. They have more black in their outfits as well as bows around their necks, rather than the necklace with the bells. We do actually see Pierrot's doll/fool mask too! On the mc and the Coffee Karen.

And I think fools are more disposable and open season for being killed. Like the woman playing Columbina in the play Jester puts on. (Though I believe the reflection of the doctor talks about experimenting on dolls so they are not safe from being killed either lol)

Something that threw me off when I saw it was the mask of the fool representing Harlequin during Jester's performance. That mask is the same as Harlequin's, rather than the simplified fool mask.

But I think I figured it out. lol

I think all the masks worn by the fools in Jester's show are different from the typical fool's mask. We see the Doctors mask and ticket takers masks being more accurate to the actual members of the circus, rather than what the fools/dolls usually wear. Presumably just for the show.

Is there a point to this weird diatribe?

Monsters in the dark

Chapter 1: star crossed

Summary: after day 2 of the game you’re stuck with two obsessed clowns trailing behind you like dogs. They both want you badly to the point they would try killing others or each other just for praise

You woke up feeling a bit dizzy and lightheaded, yet again you had fell asleep with the tv as some kind of white noise to drown the thoughts of what was happening the last few days out. Your bed sheets still smelled of where Pierrot had laid on your chest before dragging you back to that freak show (ha ha get it?) taking a deep breath in of the covers of your blanket filled you with an unrecognizable feeling of warmth throughout your body like a warm hug or the feeling of protection. As much as you felt safer around Pierrot compared to the other people at the circus you were still a little skeptical around him not knowing if you could fully trust him yet, it felt that way with a lot of people recently with Carol mysteriously disappearing and somehow you thought you saw her dressed up at the circus? Nothing was making sense it was not wonder you trusted nothing not even yourself.

It was still early in the morning and you figured you might as well get up and get ready for work. You swung your legs over your bed as your feet found their way into your comfy pink bunny slippers. Not even a ray of sunshine casted a glow through your balcony door just from early it still was. You groaned not so silently regretting not going back to bed, you felt so tired and eepy. You were so tired that you didn’t even notice the glass door sliding open, eventually you felt a slight draft from the cold breeze.

“Awe…you getting all dolled up?” A familiar raspy voice woke you up fully. Your head snapped towards the figure now standing in your room closing the sliding door with one hand. Instead of a comforting red it was that poisonous green, an annoying green that liked pestering and being overly flirty with you.

You sighed a little more dramatically than you wanted but you wanted to give him a sign you weren’t in mood. He smirked and chuckled before making himself comfy in your bed. You turned away to continue doing your skin care. He kept chuckling as you went on with different products to keep your nice clear skin up to date.

“What’s so funny Quin?” You fed into his little game, into his little routine that he started by swinging by your place every now and then at random times.

“Oh nothing…just you using that snail goo to coat your face is so…interesting to me.” Harlequin made fun of you like he always did. You scoffed as he laughed louder before it died down and he patted at your bed.

“It’s still early. Come back to bed doll.” He seemed a bit more serious in his tone like that was the real him shining through. You turned once more in your chair to face him, god did it infuriate you when he just made himself at home without even asking, plus he was still in his costume that he worked in getting your bed all dirty also he had his shoes on! How rude!

“Fine…I’ll come back to bed just let me finish, also take off your shoe idiot!” Well it didn’t take much convincing to get you back to bed since you were exhausted as fuck. After finishing your skin care you crawled back to bed, your body gave out once the feeling of the soft fabric. A sigh of relief escaped your mouth, you cuddled up against him, he wrapped one arm around your waist, he thought he was so cool doing that like bud you are not nonchalant. Harlequin relaxed against your bed as well he never stayed for long but when he could he make sure he got everything he wanted out of it. He smelt you sheets and suddenly his demeanour changed.

“These reek of that stupid Pierrot! Ugh, I’ll have to leave my scent on these instead.” He groaned, his grip tightened on you but before you could even protest you feel right back to sleep. At this point you couldn’t care less whatever happens it’s just whatever, if these guys decided to sleep or rest in your bed whatever, if they followed you to your job whatever and if they fought over you it was just whatever. Everything was going to work out hopefully.

Thank you for reading the first chapter of this new fic of mine! You know your gurl Kura’s got you covered for more delicious fics. I decided to do my two favourite clowns! Remember if you want to see more smaller fandoms I have all the fandoms I’ll write about in my self intro it’s on my master list that is pinned so I you wanna request anything I got you.

You guys...what if...at the end of the game...

I hope you enjoy this kitsukisunnee.

Authors Note: Tumble stopped working and deleted my first draft😭. This probably won't be as good as the first one, I'm so sorry.

There are times where being partially under his control have perks. For one, hunger isn't a concern and neither is sleep. There are times where it surges and we're barely able to think for ourselves.

When our head is throbbing, and we're mindlessly speaking to people while trying to fight back tears of pure agony. Then, of course, the downsides.

We can't fight back or speak, whether it comes to cruel people or at the hands of one of the circus members. The typical perpetrators are Harlequin and the Doctor. Suprised? Probably not.

Despite this, they aren't... mean. Usually just a harsh dismissal at our presence. More than once have we been in too close for comfort situations. Likely to be in more, avoid death with the lambs. Use them as bait for the bigger predators.

Don't immediately try to rush out, you WILL get caught. Let them replace you. Two new fools means one free conscious fool. Don't be stupid. Jester sees everything. Its easier to just play along then try to escape.

Y'ALL HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT YOU GUYS LOVE BOSS!!!! You're getting ALL the characters now, even the fools 😂
