I really like the prologues of the dark pictures games. Literally, Joe and Charlie were just silly drunks. The Clarke family's story is really sad but like literally so good! Balathu and Kurum have a great story and I absolutely love how it showed in the main story!!!! Jeff and Marie were literally so cute. If you get them to watch each other die IT IS SO SAD.

#rant ish #but i love all the prologue characters #Jeff and Marie were literally were the cutest #probably one of my fav dpa couples #The clarke family #their story was so sad #but like I CAN FIX IT WITH A FANFIC #and they are literally all just great #I oddly really like balathu and kurum #like idk why #they are just so...#babygirl #Charlie and Joe #like I said were just silly little freaks #the dark pictures anthology #tdpa #ahh so many tags #!!

Photo

I hope you like HF!AU, cause there’s a lot of it. We’re just getting started, really. But for now, having some cute family portraits with matching outfits, because that’s cute and corny and that’s... my taste in a nutshell.

Also for Ferdinand and his family, they’re all wearing the same thing, yes, but they’re just sharing the one scarf, because... they can. Also brb, printing these, framing them, hanging them in my house, and crying now.

Find useful links, such as the Patreon, here!

The Canadian Clarke AU - The Draft Lottery and the Move to Canada

This post concerns events that took place in 1970, 1971, and early 1972. Skip the first heading if you don't want an explanation of the relevant real-world info:

Background:

The Vietnam War had technically been going on for most of Dennis's life and it escalated in the 1960s, as did many Americans' resistance to the draft. From 1969 through 1972 the U.S. was drafting young men into the military through a lottery system. The function of the lottery was to assign a random number, ranging from 1 to 365 (or 366), to every day of the year, namely to every possible birthday. Each year, the numbers were drawn in an event publicized through every media outlet. The assigned numbers determined the order of who would be drafted in the following year: the first number called was 1, and the numbers increased until the cutoff the next year (December 31 unless otherwise extended), and then the next lottery would be drawn if needed.

To be clear, if you were a young man in the correct age bracket targeted by a given year's lottery, the random number assigned to your birthday told you how likely you were to be drafted the next year. The draft calls started with 1 and worked their way up throughout the year. The first Vietnam-era lottery, held in 1969, called men during 1970, and at the end of 1970 the highest number called turned out to be 195. That number sort of set the standard for individuals concerned about being drafted in future lotteries, although the numbers in following years never reached that high again.

So that was me trying to explain the relevant parts as clearly as I could, but here is the U.S. government webpage on the topic, with charts of the numbers assigned to every birthday in each year's lottery: Vietnam Lotteries | Selective Service System : Selective Service System (sss.gov)

The effect on Dennis:

Dennis was born on April 29, 1951. The draft lottery held on July 1, 1970, targeted men born in 1951. The number randomly assigned to his birthday was 111 out of 365. In 1971, number 111 was drafted, the highest number called being 125.

My best guess is that Dennis would have received a notice of induction into the military towards the end of 1971. Obviously there's no reason to assume he is a military member in canon, but at the same time there's no other canon-supported reason to believe that he would have grounds to be excused from the draft in real life, so that's why this AU exists.

Story:

In 1970, the Clarkes of course know that there is a chance that 19-year-old Dennis could be drafted next year. On the first day of July, the family watches and listens to the lottery broadcast as the numbers are called. Dennis is assigned number 111. It is not high enough to keep them from worrying. It's only halfway through 1970, and the previous lottery is still underway; no one yet knows how high "high enough" is, but the numbers climb as the year goes on, and when the previous lottery expires after reaching 195, they can reasonably fear that Dennis's number will be snatched up before the end of the year 1971.

Cue the Clarkes spending a year and a half in anxiety that Dennis will be forced into the military at age 20. He will perhaps be sent to the war in Vietnam and potentially never make it back home, like thousands of soldiers already - perhaps even a few they used to know. They stew over it, but for the sake of Megan in particular they rarely speak of it out in the open. The issue is merely added to the pile of mounting pressure created from the failing factory and, once October comes, Megan's increasingly disturbed behavior and whatever else.

(Note that these details are still open to adjustment, I'm always learning new info.) Early in 1971, Dennis has a pre-induction physical examination, which basically works as a head start to establish that he's eligible to be drafted when/if his number comes up. Bad news for him: he passes, and the military officially classifies him as 1-A, fit for military service if he gets called.

Then there's a point soon after when Anne puts together a letter to the draft board inquiring about the possibility of him getting conscientious objector status, but James makes sure it is never sent. It's not a completely unreasonable fear that the letter would only bring attention to Dennis and potentially get him a draft order sooner or even prevent him from getting completely overlooked if there was any tiny chance of that happening.

In November, Dennis receives an order of induction in the mail. He is given a certain date on which he is required to report and be sworn into the military and then be shipped off to basic training immediately, a date that's probably only a month or less away. It seems Dennis doesn't have a choice, except - there is always a choice, if the nation's many thousands of war resistors, including the ones fleeing to countries out of reach of the U.S. government, have proven anything.

James knows what he wants. It's no secret that he has always hated this war and its politics; he has two young sons, his sons, and they aren't going off to die in Nixon's war on his watch (no he doesn't care that President Nixon didn't start the conflict). In line with his usual m.o. of outwardly ignoring problems and hoping they go away, James insists that they ignore the draft notice, end of story. Maybe the draft board won't follow up on it. If they do, well, he'll take care of it then.

For Anne, it's more complicated. If your country calls, it's a duty to answer, and on a practical level Dennis does not have any other legal options. Of course she doesn't want to see him in a war, and if they had acted earlier he might have had a chance to join the reserves or something, but it's too late for that now, so why prolong the inevitable? The best thing now is to prepare for the worst and hope for the best like everyone did in the wars of her generation and every generation before.

Dennis himself is mostly unsure about what he should do; all over the country there's all sorts of clashing opinions to reckon with and the war is still very confusing, even though lately he couldn't help but tune in to more of the discussions, knowing that it was likely only a matter of time before it all affected him. But one sure thing is that the negative publicity and extensive media coverage of this war leaves no room for heroic fantasies, and it would be nice to not end up numbered in one of the daily casualty reports on the nightly news. So if dad says he doesn't have to go, then... he doesn't want to go. And then, too soon for any of them, the date passes when he was supposed to report, and he didn't go.

So on January 16, 1972, the family is in limbo. They don't know what's going to happen next, and they can't really ask around to find out. Dennis is breaking the law, and if the wrong person finds out he's knowingly ignoring an induction order, they might inform the authorities and who knows what would happen then. The one thing they all know is that Dennis's days with the family are numbered - realistically, it's only a matter of time before the draft board doubles down on the matter. The only options the Clarkes see are for Dennis to join the military, or pack his bags and sneak out of the country.

At the start of February, they are driven to action. It's a Wednesday when Dennis gets a second notice from the draft board with a new induction date; it serves as another chance in case he missed the first order, but it's also a warning if he's been intentionally defying it.

So the Clarkes don't push their luck any further. Dennis has already made his decision to leave the country if it came to that. There's a quick few days of hurried packing and realizing they are thoroughly under-researched and unprepared for what his move to Canada may entail, but that Sunday Dennis's luggage and most of the Clarkes are piled into the family station wagon on the multi-hour trip to Montreal, Quebec. (Only Tanya opted out of the trip, and Dennis will spend the next few years being bitter about that.)

The tension in that car gets stronger and stronger as they approach the border. They've heard tell of so many other draft dodgers escaping to Canada, but were those Americans privy to some insight the Clarkes don't have? They don't know if they will be refused entry if they pick the wrong point of crossing, and they can't even be sure there isn't a chance that Dennis could be arrested on the spot if they give the wrong answers to the wrong questions.

But the crossing is unexpectedly smooth after all. They're visitors, they tell the border official, and they make a quick and quiet entry into Canada.

There isn't much for the Clarkes to do when they reach Montreal. It's a big city, and somewhere there's folks who help people like Dennis, but James and Anne hardly know more than Dennis himself does. "Find the Americans" is the best advice they can give. They have to leave in a few hours; tomorrow is a workday. They find a cheap room for Dennis to stay in and give him some cash, and they promise to help him with the immigration process when the time comes. They can mail him whatever papers he needs. They can mail him any of his possessions if he left something important back home. They can mail letters, and he can write back.

"Call us in the morning," they tell him, and several hours later the Clarkes are down one member on the return trip to Little Hope, while Dennis is left by himself in a hotel room in Montreal with some very dim-looking prospects and no idea what to do next.

Aaaand that's the start of the AU. Congratulate yourself if you read this far, and here's the timeline for good measure 🙂

Concerning the quarry(update)

I had previously pondered the inclusion of the quarry in my super massive family tree project and decided against it as the main goal of the project is to make all(or as many as possible) of supermassive's recycled models related to each other.

It started focused on the dark pictures anthology and eventually included the inpatient and hidden agenda because of the shared models and by extension until dawn because of the inpatient and so on but there was no obvious connection in the quarry and if I made unique models related to reused ones it had to be purposeful and not just "these characters are both insert random thing" So when I say was settled on the exclusion of the quarry I mean it was not having to work with a game I don't particularly care for and that was that

All that being said I was looking at the Hackett family tree because it goes back to the time of little hope and with my own family tree project it's good to have an example to look at(some of mine to further back lol)

My reasoning at the time was that with all this material it would be simple to include Hackett side characters in stories set in different eras, I was thinking "oh free names to use for historical OCs in little hope reincarnation cycle fic or stuff otherwise set over a century ago" you feel me? Like I could feel the way I do about the quarry and still do something like that

...but then something unexpected happened

"Louisa Clarke(Hackett) 1920-1985"

That's Jed's mum

I had previously decided that any Clarke's would be connected to the Clarke family(even jessie Clark the random construction guy from tdim who's last name I'm treating as a typo)

In my preexisting drafts the generation above James Clarke has three brothers but I had always imagined them having a sister/4th sibling and Louisa just slots right in there exactly how I imagined and so just like that the quarry went from not included at all to having around a third of the cast accounted for. I'm not sure I'll actually go ahead and add the whole in game Hackett family to my next draft but at the very least I can make a note off it next to Louisa's name

It's funny because there were other things I was wanting to do that day but this reason to give a damn about the quarry(and not even the main game at that) blew me away and I needed to process it and what this new development means(it means that James Clarke and Jedediah Hackett are first cousins)

I always thought any care for the quarry on my part would come from connecting it with other games and that seems to be true, I can't say if this will translate into me liking the game itself but now I've already got some great crossover stuff that I'm eager to work on that I hope you'll love as much as I do

That all being said I'm not now going to be adding random player characters into the family trees and this is far more than I was prepared to have in my project(not me begrudgingly excepting that I'm going to have to interact with the quarry for these aus I'm excited for 😅)
