Kinda ironic how Frederick’s/Composer’s character is all about his struggle and bitterness of people and his own family not appreciating his music work and having to rely on his looks and family name to get by and have some money. And the fact he is connected to Bloody Queen/Mary and a whole ass map
And the majority of the fandom tends to overlook his character and backstory and the fact he is a decent rep for disabled and schizophrenic people. The game doesn’t necessarily demonize his conditions unlike other characters intentionally or not. And the majority of the fandom only focus on his attractive looks.
Honestly I don’t mind if you find him attractive, even I do, but just solely focusing on that is missing the whole point of his character.
Also I know he is not outright said to have schizophrenia (or maybe OCD). But the game explicitly describes him as having “psychasthenia” which is an outdated term for certain disorders like schizophrenia and OCD. But it makes sense they use this outdated term since IDV mostly takes place in the victorian era.
But judging the fact that in his story it is mentioned he suffered from constant voices in his head that greatly disturbed him since he was a kid (which can count as auditorial hallucinations) and that he is described as having a hard time focusing since he was young (a symptom of schizophrenia) it may lean into schizophrenia in his case.
Also yes I know people in the victorian era didn’t always use canes as disability aids and more of a fancy accessory. But I still think it’s neat that Frederick uses one, even tho it seems that he uses it to hide his gun weapon. He can still be seen as someone who is disabled physically by fans, especially those who actually are disabled.
HANGOVER SQUARE 1945 Thriller movie for Frederick!!
This one was W I L D OH MY GOSSSHHHHHHHHHHH 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
They POPPED OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFF with this Deduction Skin FOR REALLLLLLLLLLLLL OH MY WORD
MASTERPIECE RIGHT HERE
This skin is a 100000000000000000000000000000% times more tragic and beautiful to me now like HOLY
NOW~ BELOW are SPOILERS for the movie If you want to watch the movie before reading~ I just summarize:
So in the movie this guy has these blackout periods, that he has no recollection of, that are triggered by LOUD SOUND or LOUD RINGING
Normally he has a mostly calm demeanor with a burning passion for music as a composer, an extremely talented one~ He is soft spoken and horrified with the thought that he might have committed the murder, at the beginning of the movie, so he goes to the mental doctor to ask for help and to look into it, cause he had blacked-out for 24 hours this time, the longest period of time he has no memory of and thinks he could have done it during that time.
Anyway the doctor tells him to avoid music and to get his frustrations out and dealing with the stress in a different way, since music obviously isn't working, if he is reacting in such a dramatic way of blacking-out.
He obviously doesn't stop working on his music
But for a good portion of the movie he is being taken advantage of by this singer woman, that he thinks is in love with him cause of her purposeful honeyed words, etc. but she just wants him to be her composer monkey on a leash so she can climb the ladder to success.
ANYWAYS he finds out she has been using him cause he finds she is with another man behind the scenes after trying to propose to her.
SideNOTE: By this point he has already tried to strangle his friend, (a beautiful woman who likes him for him and cares for him deeply, who has been encouraging him to finish his great piece) cause she saw how poorly the singer woman treated him and she got mad that he is letting that happen. He was just gonna be angry and keep to himself until a load of pipes fall from a carriage and ring LOUDLY and that is the first we see him go into blackout mode!!
ANYWAY
He does lash out at the guy the singer lady was with but does leave without ending anyone, only to return after the loud crashing of his instruments after throwing stuff around his home. So in a blackout state he goes back and uuhhhhhh gets rid of the singer lady 🙃
ANYWAY he starts finishing his masterpiece and the doctor and police are on to him, despite him having zero memory of the events
then we get to the end, he has finished his music and is prepared to perform it but the doctor has found him out and wants to put him in a place where the composer won't harm himself or anyone else. But composer ends up showing up to his performance without the doctor PFF and its getting more obvious that he will do anything to finish this performance, and as he is playing he is remembering everything he did 🙃 and it gets to the point where he can't play anymore and the people are arriving and prepared to take him into custody (two dudes found the doctor locked in the closet so they let him out. So the doctor is there with the police)
Anyway he is at the point he can't play anymore and his lady friend takes over for him so the music is still going while he is in another room and he admits that he remembers now and they are all like "we know none of this was on purpose etc etc so you won't hang, we will just put you into a place where you won't hurt anyone else" but he realizes that they won't let him listen to the rest of the piece he created so he starts wiggin out and starts with chucking a lamp and stuff starts catching on fire as he runs out and locks the door behind him.
So now he is crying as he listens to the music until people start freaking out about a fire and the doctor and police that he locked in the room have gotten out and are trying to help evacuate everyone, so the music has stopped, this triggering the composer again and he goes running to lock doors so people can't get out (he doesn't get to all of them) and he is trying to get everyone to sit in the fire and listen to the rest of the music. Everyone is getting out anyway they can and he just runs to the piano to finish playing and won't leave despite his lady friend's pleading and the doctor.
So he dies in the fire playing his song til its very end orz
---------------------
-does a checkmark- yup this has Frederick written all over it orz
-Issues with the mind
-Music is everything
-Good at heart but there is a side to him that is beyond his control
-Taken advantage of
-Is desperate
-Loud Ringing plays a part with his mind state
Now with the skin I LOVE that red-ish fabric wrapped around his wrist and forearm cause he uses a curtain fasten thing for the strangling he does
Then the hat he wears so he can hide his face and then the knife at the very beginning of the movie and he doesn't know where he got it
they even have the blood on the coat and the gash on his forehead aaahhhh
This is SUCH A FANTASTIC SKIN OH MY GOSH THEY POPPED OFF ON THIS ONE GOSH DANNNGGGGGGGG
I am still reeling from the movie so I am sure there is stuff my brain is still trying work out but DANG This skin is a 100000000000000000000000000000% times more tragic and beautiful to me now like FOR REAL FOR REAL
