im sorry, but the autism won, and i gotta info dump fear and hunger shit to you bc i think you might find it interesting.
in funger 2, there is a character named Daan. he also goes by Daniël, because his parents each would call him by one of those names, so he doesn't actually know which is his real name.
when daan was a toddler, his parents joined a cult to that world's god of love, healing, and fertility called sylvian. the cult calls themselves bunnymasks, and daan was used to seeing his parents naked and wearing only rabbit masks as they'd leave him to go to the meadows. we know from the first game that the bunnymasks engage in one giant orgy, and if you participate, you can get a full heal.
it's also said that his parents tried to pass on the healing gift of sylvian onto him. which is healing sex magic. so. a lot is implied there just in that sentence. but his parents would mostly just leave him behind to go to their religious orgy since they cared more about it than him.
when daan was 13, his parents never came back. so he was on the streets. so a kid who was raised in a nomadic lifestyle, who normalized seeing sexual acts since he was raised around it, is now on his own.
in the game, when you pick a character and go through their backstory, you can pick certain things that give that character certain skills or items. for daan, one of the choices is to become a pickpocket or to try and live an honest life.
if you chose pickpocket, it's said that he wasn't good at it and had to turn to something else to make money. so he turns to healing people with sylvian's magic. if you chose this option, daan learns the healing spell, loving whispers. so he didn't know any healing spells from when his parents tried teaching him, but he raised his affinity with sylvian enough to learn the spell by healing people for money. you raise your affinity with sylvian by having sex or masturbating. so it's kinda implied that he did sex work when he was on the streets.
if you pick live an honest life, daan becomes an apprentice butler for a baron. if you chose the first option, the baron seeks out daan when he's 15 after hearing about his healing magic and takes him in to make him an apprentice butler.
the baron has an interest in the occult. he's also a doctor. so, he teaches daan modern medicine in exchange for knowledge about sylvian and her rituals. which is sex magic.
fuck this is longer than i thought, but it should be good enough. most of the fandom, from what ive seen, seems to accept that daan has csa trauma from his parent’s cult. in fan art, some people draw him with sylvian's sigil branded into him, which is so fhrhdjsjjsjs
k im done
Thanks for the info dump :)) the lore of these games sounds so interesting omg
