IDV Men and their Love Languages pt. 3

Characters included: Victor, Andrew, Luca, Edgar, Ganji

Victor Grantz

Victor’s intense Scopophobia as well as nervous habits made determining his love language difficult. Despite his inability to talk, as well as his social anxiety, I believe his love language is, in fact, words of affirmation. At first, I vetoed this, since he doesn’t take words at face value and believes that words written and passed back and forth mean so much more. And this still applies! He is overjoyed the first time he receives a letter addressed to himself, and this carries over to receiving letters in the manor. There’s so much one can say to him, and he doesn’t have to trip and stumble through social conventions to get the message!

-You take notice of this early on, not too long after he arrived in the manor

-You thought it’d be cute, or a little funny, to give him a welcome letter and say some sweet things and encourage him and teach him a bit about the games, since he’s a postman.

-He sends a letter back saying how thankful he is for the letter and reveals to you that he isn't one for face to face conversation

-So, you both get to know each other very well though letters

-but he observes you in conversation with others

-he believes that your genuine self comes through when you write letters and that sometimes you pretend to be different around the others

-He really wants to understand your true self better

-To do that, he writes you a letter, basically outlining his thoughts

-after a long time of correspondence, he’s come to trust you

-He asks you to meet him in a quiet, pretty place, like the garden

-There, he writes down a few questions that he expresses his wish for you to respond to them in your own voice, not to write them

-When he realizes that you speak to him the same way you write to him, he gets a little flustered

-One, he feels bad for doubting you, and two, he’s over-the-moon that you entrusted him with your true self practically without hesitation

-That's when he notices you, just as flustered as he is, for seemingly no reason

-“Victor, I have to tell you the truth about something.” You were going to do this through another letter, but now seems like the perfect moment, after having confided in each other with deep feelings and secrets.

-“I’m in love with you.” The words come out before you’re ready. You’re almost breathless, like the words were ripped from your lungs by the impenetrable claws of truth.

-He sits there for a moment, stunned, red gradually spreading across his entire face

-Then, he furiously scribbles something on the paper on front of him, scratches it out, writes something else, scratches it out as well

-Then, finally, he slides the paper towards you

-amongst the messy scribbles, four words in his distinct handwriting

-“I love you, too!”

Andrew Kreiss

He is initially afraid of affection. Previous to his life in the manor, he could only rely on his mother for comfort, and now that she is gone, he couldn’t imagine the care of another. The letter sent to him to invite him to the manor gave him hope for the first time, and in this place, he isn’t ridiculed or mocked. He still has trouble interacting with people, but he’s growing as a person. In fact, while he is living in the manor, he discovers his love language!

-When he was young, he can remember his mother pulling him close in her lap, petting his hair and whispering such sweet things to him

-He really misses her

-Sometimes, he wonders what she would think of his life now

-despite doing some immoral things in his life, then taking a sketchy offer to go to an unknown location, he thinks he’s doing ok

-Surprisingly, he’s bonded with a few people while having to live here

-the main one being you

-You were so kind to him when he first arrived

-You were the first person he met that didn’t treat him harshly or whisper behind his back about him

-It was no question that he’d become close to you

-You engage him in such interesting conversations as well

-Particularly, the conversation the two of you are in now

-“Hey, Andrew, what do you think your love language is?”

-“What is that?”

-Shocked, you explain to Andrew the main 5 love languages and what they entail. He genuinely has no idea.

-“I think you best receive love through words of affection, but I also see that makes you uncomfortable, so I’ve been having trouble figuring it out.”

-“Do you think about everyone like this?”

-“Only certain people; people I care a lot about!”

-He’s blushing, maybe it is words of affection

-“Your kind words… remind me of my mother.”

-His pale face rapidly turning red, you can’t help but test the limits of his reception of intimacy

-You pull his calloused hands into yours, watching his face intently for any sign of discomfort, or appreciation

-He stares like a deer in headlights at your hands, but does not pull away

-“Maybe you like physical affection then?” You say, coy

-“I… I think,” he’s stammering, throat dry and nervous, “I think so long as it’s you… I’d be fine with anything.”

-Ah, now he’s got you blushing

-Guess you’ll have to show him different types of affection more often!

Luca Balsa

Luca spends a lot of his time working. He’s desperate to remember his old ideas, and often forgets to take care of himself. The best way to show that one loves him is through Acts of Service. He doesn’t need someone to take care of him, but he understands the difference between pity and genuine care.

-Drag him out of his room when he’s been holed up in there for too long, he’ll fight, but ultimately, he’s appreciative of it.

-He forgets to eat and drink, too focused on other matters. Tell him some silly joke about how “perpetual motion can’t exist without some kind of energy!” and make him eat.

-If he’s having a particularly stressful day, migraines and amnesia making his brain swirl into oblivion, bring him a cold hand towel and a drink

-Sit with him until he’s feeling better and encourage him to get some fresh air

-He can’t think of anything but his invention until you come along and distract him

-now all he can think about is how thankful he is for your care

-He does things for you, too.

-He likes to do gentlemanly things for you

-Like pull out a chair for you, or lend you a coat if he happens to have one

-It reminds him of his life before the accident

-While his love language is acts of service, there is one particular thing he likes to do with you that doesn’t have much to do with that

-You notice he’s particularly chipper one day, practically bouncing up and down with energy

-“What puts you in a good mood today, Luca?” You laugh, he pulls you up from your seat with a hand and leads you to a large open space in the foyer

-“I remembered something earlier, something I wish to share with you!”

-“Then by all means, lead the way!”

-Once you reach the foyer, he doesn’t let go of your hand, instead positioning you close to him, he places your other hand on his shoulder, then moves to hold you soft on the waist.

-“You remembered a dance?”

-He doesn’t respond, almost as if he is trapped in the memory itself, he begins to twirl you around the makeshift ballroom

-Suddenly, he beams, laughing gleefully as he lifts you and spins you around!

-Its infectious, his smile, you laugh with him, enjoying your moment together

-When he slows down, he rests his forehead against yours, giving you his signature lopsided grin

-“Thank you for all that you do for me.”

Edgar Valden

Edgar believes that any “time” that he gives to someone else should be considered quality. But what is quality time to him? He thinks back to his younger years, his brothers always pestering him, telling him to do things or wanting to spend time with him. Back then, he would’ve called “quality time” being alone with his painting supplies, full of inspiration and ability. Now, he has a different idea of quality time.

-When Edgar met you, you sparked the remembrance of his sister in him.

-His poor, sister whom he lost so early in life, just after his mother left

-It was his first major inspiration since being in the Manor

-He tried to work using only his memory, but that was unreliable at most times.

-So, he asked you to come meet him where he could see you and paint

-He sets up an easel outside near a bench in the gardens

-Back in Britain, he made a comment about how the weather was always against him, he hates rain

-But today, everything seems to be going in his favor

-The sun in its radiance directed itself in his muses direction

-You sit there in front of him, nervous, but excited to see the outcome of his painting

-He’s in quiet concentration, you hesitate to break the silence, but you feel a little uncomfortable sitting as he stares at you

-“The sun is brilliant today! Don’t you think so?” You say, awaiting his response. At first he looks like he’s going to tell you to keep quiet, then his gaze softens ever-so-slightly

-“I like the sun as well, rain is uninspiring.”

-The silence continues for a short moment before he speaks again

-“I used to have a friend, my cat, Mary. She loved sunny days like this, too. I can almost see her curled up, soaking up the rays.”

-He spends a short amount of time reminiscing of his past, remembering when Mary was young and his close siblings would run in the yard and chase after her.

-That didn’t last for very long

-He and Mary grew up similarly, as they grew older, they became slower and more content to be alone

-“I’ve never remembered so much in such a short time.” He comments. You almost don’t hear him.

-“Good memories, I hope!” You pipe up from your seat across from him.

-“Bittersweet.” A sigh, then a light breeze picks up, bringing with it dark clouds.

-When thunder rumbles in the distance, he groans.

-“It seems the weather always has it out for me.”

-“That’s ok, we have plenty of time together! Let’s do this again!” You help him carry his things indoors before any rain picks up.

-When he’s back in his room, alone, he rethinks his definition of quality time.

-He would like to experience this day again. And again.

Ganji Gupta

Words of Affirmation is Ganji’s love language. He likes to be reassured, and though he has a bit of a short temper, his anger is resolved with relative ease. He is also one to use his words to show appreciation. Despite looking displeased most of the time, Ganji is a perfectly pleasant man to be around.

-His favorite thing to do is compliment you during a match

-Sometimes, it will distract you, which entertains him

-He likes the playful banter that comes with competition

-If you’re containing the hunter, he’ll run by and hit the hunter at the perfect time

-then direct some quip at you about how he “saved” you

-It is the opposite when he has to use his rampage skill

-he hates being so angry and violent, but he has to in order to gain strength

-so, once you’re both safe, you comfort him with your kind words, reminding him that he’s not a monster, and that he is a kind person

-the only part of his rage he appreciates. That is, the fact that you always comfort him.

-A lot of his attachment comes from open communication

-honesty is a really big thing for him

-If he has a problem with something, he’ll come out and say it

-but he’ll be cordial about it until it turns into an argument

-that doesn’t happen very often, though

-and rarely ever with you, he feels very guilty if he ever directs his anger towards you

-if, is the keyword, it really is unlikely for you to get in a fight with him

-he cares about you so much that only sweet words will flow from his mouth to your ears

-he makes sure of it!

Hi! Thank you all so much for reading and supporting my works! This will be the end of this "mini-series" if one could call it that! However, for the characters I didn't write for, I'd be happy to revisit them if requested! ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ

Photographer - The Emperor

Going insane over the new idv tarot design like a very normal person, specifically looking at Joseph.

I'll be looking at meanings from a range of websites though most tend to follow the same message.

General Meaning

This is the card that asserts authority, organizes systems to retain maximum control and is the paternal influence of the Tarot deck, assuring that protection and security are provided to all those playing by the rules.

From this meaning alone it feels like the Emperor is the perfect card for Joseph. Immediately my first thoughts go to his inventions and obsession with the mirror world. The CN translation of his third character day letter sees him call the photo world akin to an "eternal kingdom", which has more hopeful connotation.

Joseph doesn't necessarily have malicious intent. Yes, the things he's done are utterly heinous and would be to any rational person who heard of them, but the bottom line is that both Joseph's hubris and his genuine belief that what he is creating and working towards will help people. Joseph sees living as suffering, but he doesn't see the afterlife as something that can guarantee him happiness either. Because the afterlife is foreign and unknown to the happiness he experienced as a child.

Instead he chooses the camera world. Preservation, something he has created, where everyone can be happy together, trapped together in a beautiful eternity. The photo world is the peaceful world where they will all rest, away from the adversities of life.

So how does this all relate to the Emperor? I like to think that it makes sense that because of how many things in Joseph's life that were out of his control ruined him, in the broader sense he does need (or feels like he needs) a huge sense of control, as much control as possible. The camera world allows him that. He's the master of that world but he does not assert such authority to rub his own ego necessarily, but because he's convinced that people need protecting. That living is suffering, and he's merely doing what's best for all. He is protecting them.

I also want to note it might be important that we are served the Emperor card upright. The reversed position of the card implies a lack of control leading to an abuse of power and unwise decisions. What Joseph does is undeniably an abuse of power objectively, but describing it as just that loses a lot of the nuance behind his actions and motivations. Despite how clearly mentally unstable Joseph is he is in control of what he is aiming to do. Like what the Emperor card represents, he has a burning ambition to achieve his goal no matter what it takes — and we see that from the way he does not falter after all his friends leave him, how it's implied that not even Elliott could stop him even though his words left some impression on him.

Design Notes

Moving on, I'd like to look at the design in more detail in comparison to what the traditional Emperor card looks like.

To get the full picture of the design we can look at the actual heritage of the Tarot card, which read me down a rabbit hole of exploring the history of the Emperor card exclusively. One detail that stuck out to me particularly was the fact Joseph isn't facing the audience in his card. In more contemporary decks the Emperor faces you head on, but Joseph isn't. I'd say this is likely in relation to the Tarot de Marseille characteristics.

By the mid-seventeeth century after Tarot card production had moved to France, the Emperor gained the characteristic of sitting on his throne in profile with his legs crossed.

The position of his legs was staged for maximum effect. Sitting at ease with one leg crossed over the other traditionally signified the highest status person in the room, or someone about to pass a legal judgment.

This doesn't drastically change the meaning of the card itself, but I thought it was a cool detail nonetheless. It feels quite fitting for Joseph ( Judge skin aside ) in the sense that he believes that what he is deciding for people is right, or that he even has the authority to in the first place. It fits well with his arrogance and ultimately all the other decisions that lead him to his self-destruction in a way.

The detail doesn't stop there. The Emperor card changed yet again with the occult tradition.

19th century occultists like Eliphas Levi, Oswald Wirth and Papus retained the Tarot De Marseille image but added their own cosmic interpretation. Particularly They saw the Emperor’s body as a triangle with his legs making a cross. Together these form the symbol for alchemical sulfur and allude to spirit dominating matter ( now where does that sound familiar ... )

What's particularly relevant to Joseph is that Wirth changed the Emperor's legs slightly to be more like the astrological symbol of Jupiter.

Because of the Emperor’s association with the number four and the Hebrew letter Daleth (door or womb) occultists saw the Emperor presiding over the birth of all material things, then ruling the material world as Jupiter. The globe topped by a cross, a traditional symbol of the Emperor’s worldly and spiritual power, was reinterpreted as the astrological sign for Venus, emphasizing the concepts of birth and creation. The Emperor represents the creative fire at the heart of all beings; so he’s also energy trapped in the material world.

So how does this all relate to Joseph? Well as I said this doesn't drastically change the meaning of the card, but there are small details and nuances that you could interpret liken to Joseph. Like how the pose he's sat in originates from when tarot deck production grew in France. On the other hand, the connotations of Jupiter could be the way he did achieve his goal in a way in creating the mirror world — defying the rules of life and death itself. Since the Emperor also represents the creative fire at the heart of all beings it could also be alluded to Joseph's origins as a creative in his journey, and his wish to see something more than the dullness and dread of life.

There is a lot more to the card heritage of the Emperor and other parts I could have mentioned, but I decided to include these as the most relevant. I'll have it referenced in the end if you'd like to check it out!

Now I'll continue my insanity into what the Emperor card means in certain contexts.

Past

In the past position, The Emperor represents a father or other authority figure who laid down the law and set a firm definition of acceptable behavior for you. Perhaps you rebelled against him or his teachings, or maybe they helped to keep you out of harm’s way. If you are in a secure position now, you have The Emperor in this position to thank. But some people do abuse their authority and if you are alone and alienated after being witness to the abuse of authority, this card confirms that the blame is there. Often we are given rule over our world and mess things up ourselves. Other times, the trust that put us in the care of another is at fault when this person goes overboard and so The Emperor represents a tyrant.

Honestly I don't have one set idea of interpretation in regards to Joseph and his story in terms of the past.

The first thing that came to mind was his father. We don't know a lot of things about Joseph's family outside of Claude especially with his relationship with his parents. All I can think of is Joseph's 2021 character day art where there were noticeable cracks over his father and mother in the portraits behind him.

Considering Joseph is hardly in a secure position, it might be implied that something went wrong too with his parents. When he lost Claude he had no other immediate family that we know of aside from them, but until he was of age he still would have been under their care. Was there a certain pressure placed on him as the only remaining son of the Desaulnier family? Did Joseph feel perhaps alienated by his parents who may have tried to move forward much quicker than himself? These are questions that we can't answer yet.

The other "tyrant" of Joseph's past I had in mind could have been the person who lent him those books on the occult when he visited the unnamed manor. I already alluded to such a person bearing similarities to Henry and Dorian in my little ramble after finishing the picture of Dorian Grey. But again, there's nothing to he said for sure.

Present

When The Emperor is in the present position, you have the rule of law before you to guide you on your journey. This card is especially strong in the present position as it gives you an absolute confidence to move toward a goal. This can also represent the influence of another person in your life right now. Are you so enamored of a new friend or lover that you have started following the advice and lifestyle habits of him or her? Have you discovered a new hero in the arts whose work has expanded your consciousness to the point that it is hard to relate to people who have not had a similar reaction to this person’s artistic output? Is there a new teacher in your life who has changed the way you think? Perhaps a new person at work is transforming the way you approach your on-the-job goals. The theme running through all of these possibilities is that one way of seeing the world is coming to dominate the way you experience life.

I've highlighted that last part for reasons that I've already stated in this post. But that line in particular is pretty relevant to Joseph.

Joseph who could not run move on from his grief and instead fell deeper into it. Joseph who could never enjoy life the same without Claude in it and after seeing the horrors that death brings, in his brother's death and the revolutionary war that tore up everything he had ever loved and known. Joseph whose life was dominated by his grief, anger and anguish that pushed away those who might have loved and cared for him — even Elliott, at the very end, could not save him.

Future

The future position is an uncomfortable position for The Emperor. The days and weeks ahead are vague and quite affected by the smallest decisions of the here and now. The Emperor card demands to assert itself. When The Emperor card is here, anticipate a change to come into your life in a bold manner; expectations to conform in the way you carry yourself may be part of this picture. Regardless of the situation, understand that new demands to follow a specific behavioral prescription will be coming your way and coming in the near future. Prepare now to submit, evade or resist.

There's a number of ways you could interpret this and none are strictly right or wrong. A lot of which echoes much of the sentiments of needing control, disliking uncertainty and particularly change in general ...

It could also be interpreted in regards to the trajectory of Joseph's life after Claude's death — what became of his future. We have seen Joseph has gained a habit of self-restraint now — not truly speaking what's on his mind but rather speaking what he needs to achieve a means to an end. He's someone who does feel the weight of peoples' expectations on him and seeks to excel past them, and that particularly becomes evident post the tragedies of his younger years. He changes particularly in the way he carries himself, whether that be influence of his own grief or that new-risen demand as the Desaulnier's surviving son and the pressure he put on himself.

Final Notes

You made it to the end! You must be as crazy as me or smth damn.

Anyways this was an unnecessarily long ramble of me basically saying how perfect this card is for Joseph and his story and I'm sure there's so many other elements I missed out and failed to convey. But this is all for fun! Don't take my words as law.

I kind of want to do some more for a few of my favs so ..

if you wanna write about one of the idv girls.......... alice deross and a reader who's also a journalist, perhaps working together?

you can wait till she releases ofc!!

📰

hi, sorry for it being so late, but sure yeah i'm open to writing idv girls! to be fully honest, i've never written for alice though (except for one occasion before her release...) but i can try for sure!

request; yes, by anon! requests are closed til i get my current requests taken care of but may open some comms?

wc; 730.

tags; default! journalist (alice deross), jounalist! gn! reader, work relationship, reader admires alice, canon-divergent, first person pov.

summary; an avid reader of alice's columns, you've wanted to be a journalist. and now that you are, for your first assignment, you are to work with alice deross...

rumors spread like wildfire, and this agency was no exception.

i had gotten my dream job as a journalist - since i was still in school, i had always admired a certain writer named alice deross, who wrote articles with a striking amount of detail, as if she herself had experienced what she was writing firsthand (even if such wasn’t the case), while still keeping a certain veil of mystery. that’s why i worked hard to get recruited into the same agency as ms. deross, networking and honing my writing.

and, to say the least, my first day was, indeed, filled with rumors.

rumors about what? why, of course, the famed oletus manor. it’s become a famous place for novelists to center horror stories around, seeing as many strange events are said to have happened there, yet they all seem so wild it’s hard to believe. “participate in a game for a chance to have your wish, no matter its grandness, granted.” who would believe such a thing? was my first thought.

yet, alice deross allegedly was passionate about this very case - everyone else was either scared to enter the unknown or uncertain whether it even existed or if it was a reality warped to exaggeration by the people who spread the rumors.

ms. deross, however, insisted on taking this case.

only she had the resolve to delve into the unknown and only she held such strong beliefs with eyes that could light a fire.

“surely there is something from this manor i can glean. i had prior connections to the manor, so it’s hard to believe such liveliness could be overtaken by these dangerous games,” she had declared to the head editor.

it appeared she had other motivations than producing a good story.

supposedly, it took quite a bit of convincing, but it was only after ms. deross went out of her way to obtain a manor invitation, the reddish wax seal bearing an abstract floral imprint, that the head editor (reluctantly, and much to his chagrin) accepted; clearly, ms. deross was adamant about this case, so as long as she could make a good story, who was he to say “no”?

...must have been what he thought.

i was curious about her said “other motivations” that i was nothing less than certain she held close to her heart, so with the head editor’s approval, i ventured to oletus manor, shrouded in mystery, with ms. deross. my first impression of her was what her writing style conveyed: polite, clear-spoken yet slightly distant. as they say, “style is the man himself,” i suppose.

in fact, i distinctly remember her first question: “i have been curious why you insist on going with me to oletus manor,” she said while i drove through the forested area, “it will likely be a dangerous gig.”

“yes,” i replied back (perhaps my voice betrayed me, for ms. deross shot me a look with a gleam of worry), “i’m fully aware.”

her look of worry diffused then into a wry smile.

“i don’t know whether you are courageous or reckless.”

“maybe both.”

“...regardless, i should warn you: curiosity can kill the cat. i do respect it though, seeing as you even volunteered to come with me.”

those were her last words as i remember parking up at the manor. it was then ms. deross seemed to change her demeanor considerably to the point of tangibility - i could practically taste it.

what had transpired at the manor was already reflected in her eyes before we had even entered its premises.

its happenings are a story for another day. a whole article wouldn’t be enough.

ms. deross handed me an envelope. “remember, (y/n), it is never too late to withdraw. i have a personal matter to settle here, but your life is what should be most important to you.”

she handed me a camera, the black lens reflecting my own face, revealing nothing but the truth at that moment laid bare. when i looked up at ms. deross, meeting her eyes, i couldn’t help but notice a more soft look than usual.

perhaps she had resigned to the fact that, since we both made it this far, i would not turn back now.

“after all, dead men tell no tales.”

(that said, i am alive even now, so for the future, i still have a tale to tell.)

can i just. bring the idv fandom's attention to the Perez family in Ashes of Memory. because like what is happening.

we have the version from the portrait Detective "Orpheus" finds in the original OP (is that unavailable now? has it been retconned?) in which we see two people in typical ranger uniforms alongside "Orpheus" and the couple he claims are his parents, but the ranger's faces (as well as that of young "Orpheus") appear to have been deliberately smashed so we can't see them:

since we know from Bane's deduction route that both his parents were rangers and he followed in their footsteps to work for the same family in the same forest, it is reasonable to assume that the obscured individuals are Bane's parents.

but then we see a version of this image, unobscured, that Alice finds, but in this version the rangers are instead dressed in the typical attire of a farmer and a maid:

(i have a whole other rant about my confusion over the differences in these two portraits btw)

but then in the story "Orpheus" tells Alice about the deaths of his parents, he refers to this individual as "the forest ranger my parents hired":

except that he's dressed in stereotypical farmer gear, complete with pitchfork? as in, this is the same farmer from the family portrait Alice found? interestingly, "Orpheus" implies that this was the only forest ranger (farmer????) employed by his parents at the time, which according to the timeline should mean that this is Bane, not his father.

obviously "Orpheus" is lying because IF this is Bane (as opposed to his father) then first of all,

BUT IMPORTANTLY, BANE ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DID NOT "COLLUDE WITH BANDITS" BECAUSE WE KNOW THOSE WERE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BUTCHERED HIS PET DEER AND TORTURED HIM AND LEFT HIM FOR DEAD. i think the FUCK he did not "collude" with them. and "Orpheus" should certainly have known that, since Bane and Burke's character day letters and the Darkwoods Forest map itself all show that Bane dearly loved "Orpheus" and Alice when they were children and would have absolutely no reason to risk harm coming to them.

so my questions come down to,

why did the figures in the portrait change from two rangers to a farmer and a maid?

was the individual who betrayed "Orpheus"' family really a forest ranger as "Orpheus" claimed, or does he remember a farmer in contradiction to what he's saying to show he's lying?

was the farmer Bane's father or even a different individual who worked for that family, but "Orpheus" lies and blames the ranger for reasons we don't know?

finally, is the figure "Orpheus" remembers actually Bane? or is the "forest ranger", ie Bane, separate from the individual "Orpheus" is remembering, but "Orpheus" is still blaming Bane for unknown reasons?

@ Netease PLEASE i need answers ;3;

IMPORTANT WAX ARTIST LORE UPDATE. I’M NOT SURE IF ANYBODY ELSE REALIZED THIS MAYBE I’M JUST SLOW (most likely conclusion) BUT HOOOLY SHIT BUCKLE IN BECAUSE THIS IS GONNA BE A POST AND A HALF.

➪ WHY PHILIPPE AND CHRISTINA’S CHARACTER DAY IS APRIL 16TH.

ok so. we know that philippe as a character is based on philippe curtius, a swiss physician and wax sculptor who served as the mentor of marie tussaud, aka madame tussaud, creator of the famous celebrity wax sculpture exhibition of the same name and who christina is based on.

the two were closer than just mentor and student. marie saw philippe as an uncle, possibly even a father figure. definitely not the brother-and-sister relationship our philippe and christina have, but obviously idv backstories are never 1:1 with their irl counterparts. anyway, at the age of 88, tussaud passed away in her sleep, either from old age or another unknown reason.

but what day did she pass?

this leads me to believe that in-universe, christina also died on april 16th— or more accurately, philippe returned home and found her dead on that day. i know i said idv backstories are never 1:1, but it’s too specific of a date to not mean anything!!! but of course, as always, this is just a theory of mine, and we’ll have to wait until next year’s character day to get any kind of confirmation. but if it does get confirmed, i’m gonna brag so fucking hard about it.

(To Miss Nightingale)

“Now~ now~ don’t start barking like a wild dog!!…” Heifu said with a playful tone while having his Scythe between the bars of the cell, so close to the face of the women on the other side.

“Don’t you see that mama is busy thinking of a fitting punishment for you?! If you don’t want it to get worst I would advice you to stay quiet… fufufu~”

Miss Nightingale was silent the whole time, deep in her thoughts with a calm expression on her face… that quickly change to a scary one the second she open her eyes, showing her Golding bright yellow eyes looking directly at the old women with unreadable emotions.

She the. approached the cell right next to her son and looked down at the women and finally started to talk and her voice alone was enough to plant chills and fear within anyone bones.

"𝓨𝓸𝓾... 𝓓𝓸 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝔂 𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓪 𝓱𝓸𝔀 𝓶𝓾𝓬𝓱 𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓾𝓫𝓵𝓮𝓼 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓽𝔀𝓸 𝓯𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓼 𝓱𝓪𝓭 𝓶𝓪𝓭𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓵𝓪𝓼𝓽 𝓯𝓮𝔀 𝔀𝓮𝓮𝓴𝓼?!... 𝓘 𝓪𝓵𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓭𝔂 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝓵𝓸𝓽 𝓸𝓯 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓴 𝓸𝓷 𝓶𝔂 𝓹𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓘 𝓭𝓸𝓷'𝓽 𝓷𝓮𝓮𝓭 𝓶𝓸𝓻𝓮 𝓯𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓽𝓱𝓻𝓮𝓮. 𝓝𝓸𝔀 𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓭 𝓽𝓸 𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓵 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓶𝓪𝓷𝔂 𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓾𝓫𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓸𝓶𝓮 𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼 𝓯𝓾𝓵𝓵 𝓸𝓯 𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓹𝓵𝓪𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓼 𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝔂𝓸𝓾"

She then lean down a bit and used her finger to lift up the chin of the women, letting her look directly at her glowing eyes.

"The Siren" - Ripley Graves

An unknown being that surfaced within the manor one day, pleading for salvation. The siren wishes to know what it is like to be alive, no matter the consequences nor the cost. Meet Ripley! A brand new IDV Oc I've been working on over the past month or so. He's heavily inspired by subnautica's lost river creatures if you couldn't tell, as well as other drabbles I've made up over the course of him being made.

If request are still open can you do how 3 IDV characters would react to the reader being their biological child?

Yup requests are still open! Hope you enjoy! Since the request didn't specify characters I'm just gonna freestyle with some characters I like.

Emil, Ada, & Michiko reacting to reader being their biological child

Warnings: mentions of pregnancy, mentions of murder

Characters: Michiko - “Geisha”, Ada - “Psychologist”, Emil - “Patient”.

(for the sake of these headcanons we're ignoring canon and pretending Ada & Emil didn't die at the manor)

Ada & Emil

For Ada & Emil you were most likely a planned pregnancy between them after their marriage. For awhile until Ada got the offer to visit the manor to help with Emil's treatment you three lived a happy peaceful life in a house. They both raised you together and while it was a learning process they were both decent parents.

It wasn't until a tragedy happened on the way to the manor that they lost you, you randomly went missing under unknown circumstances. Ada and Emil were absolutely heartbroken by this and for awhile they didn't appear at the oletus manor to mentally recover but would eventually go over to it.

It was that fateful day they reunited with you at the manor, you remembered their exact appearances and even if you changed yours over the years they knew it was you just due to gut feeling, a strange connection they felt to you.

In that moment both of them ran over to you as fast as possible and embraced you. Panickly asking you about what happened, how you ended up here, and many other things. They're not gonna leave you alone for hours and weeks on end, afraid things may repeat again and you'll be taken away from them.

Emil practically fills the role of a housespouse and knows how to cook, usually making breakfast in bed for you and Ada. Ada is the one who works all the time but whenever she's free she'll definitely make time on your schedule to play with you, read you bedtime stories, and other activities.

Though the bonded couple and their child may meet a unfortunate fate within this bloodied manor, they bonds shall surpass time and space as the gods may take pity on these 3 souls as they ascend to the afterlife.

Michiko

Just like Ada & Emil, for Michiko you were most likely a planned pregnancy between her and Miles. She probably had you before Miles father killed Michiko and she ended up at the manor, meaning Miles was left all alone to raise you when you were still a baby.

When the small you arrived at the manor Michiko felt a strange familiarity to you despite not remembering who you were. Though she longs to return to both you and her husband, to her it would be a very long time until that day were to come.

It wasn't until after you bonded with Michiko as friends you showed her a photo you had in your manor room. It was a photo of Michiko, Miles, and a baby you. The familiar butterfly hair accessory that Michiko sometimes had on her during battles on her in that photo. In that moment Michiko's heart paused and skipped a million beats. She immediately recognized miles, you, and herself in that photo and that familiar butterfly pin.

Tears filled her eyes as she quickly embraced you and apologized for leaving you and miles, for suddenly disappearing without warning, and promising to be the best mother she could while you were by her side. Even if you didn't believe she was your mother at first she brought out the butterfly hair pin and told you information about your father that no one other then close family could know.

Michiko is a incredibly caring mother figure and practically tries to do everything for you. Brushing your hair, making you breakfast, helping you with mundane daily tasks, and other things.

Even though the red butterfly was taken away from her family, she will still flap her wings until the day she can see them both once again. Then maybe one day, fate will reunite them all.
