Lover: To be honest, I'm kinda pissed that I'm not asleep in bed next to the love of my life in a cottage with no obligations other than watering my vegetable garden.
Dreamer: Whether or not I pay income taxes is none of the government's business.
Fortune Teller: No, well, actually, it is.
Dreamer: You don't know my name or what I look like, good luck finding me.
Lilis: Everything will be ok. You can not stop it.
Lilis: Everything will be fine. You have no choice.
Puppeteer: What the fuck kind of pep talk is that?
Lilis: Ominous positivity.
Judge: Why would you give a knife to Drunk?!
Scout, shrugging: Drunk felt unsafe.
Judge: Now I feel unsafe!
Scout: I’m sorry…
Scout: Would you like a knife?
thank u for feeding the blog 🙏 u have singlehandedly filled the wednesday queue for june
i have one ship and it's lover x knight. i don't even know why i like it i just think they're neat
time for me to yap about my personality headcanons bc I have Thoughts. and also rambles on the actual ship. supportive rambles, of course, I'll try to ship any pair you guys bring me XD
So. Lover. One interpretation of Lover is a gal who's fun and likes to sleep around and is a bit of a tease. I'd argue that the confident pose & big grin support that. Her bonus info is "She once dumped a warlock. Said his aura screamed 'emotional baggage.'" Which is a reasonable action for any woman to take, regardless of personality, but also it's interesting how her info is about who she dumped and that she's not interested in 'emotional baggage'. Nothing to indicate she's a softer, more romantic type. I don't think she is.
And then we move on to Knight. I just posted a draft with further thoughts on Knight (bc he's one of my faves, I cannot lie). tl;dr he has a Superman pose, a death glare, and his ability is simply "I can't die". he's an insanely confident, if serious, guy. he's blushing a little but he's trying SO hard to seem tough. if he's uncorrupted, he IS tough. he can withstand attacks that slay literal demons, from literal demons. idk I just feel like his personality is much more straight forward. he's the Knight XD
also. side note. he and Judge are the only male Villagers to have pink as a strong color in their palette. the others are women, evil, or evil women. actually most villagers & outcasts lean very, very blue/teal/green while colors like red/cerise/pink are preferred by Evils. idk where I'm going with this.
so anyways. with that understanding of them, this is Lover x Knight to me
He tries to be the big, strong Knight and protector of the village and she's the fun, teasing village girl who gets the stick out of his ass XD
like just overall they'd be that serious x fun, opposite attracts ship. in a modern au Lover would always be posting pictures and at BEST he has a neutral expression in each one but she knows he loves her because he's willing to take "stupid" pictures with her. he'd wear Mickey Mouse ears if she took him to Disney. he'd wear an ugly Christmas sweater if she gave him one. goofy glasses on New Year's. matching Halloween costumes. etc.
Knights as a character trope tend to be very loyal and pretty good at taking orders, so Knight is her loyal guard dog and he'd want her happy. he does whatever she asks and that's how he shows his affection to her. Lover shows him affection in a more physical way, kisses and hand holding and putting her head on his shoulder. every time he blushes harder and that makes her happy.
I think in private he'd be more willing to open up and smile and speak candidly though. it's not a total 180 but he's not a brick wall either yanno. like he can chill a bit when they're alone.
BUT that is just my interpretation, I'd love to hear other takes on them. these characters are all very flexible and that can make for some really cool characterizations since we all fill in the blanks a little differently
imagine you're a Knight and you show up to the circle because being unkillable is a great advantage here. and you're proud of that, you've got that superman pose and that death glare and all anyone needs to know about you is "I can't die" because that is Your Thing. everyone has a Thing and yours is being an unkillable Knight.
so you show up and there's another Knight too. you aren't a Medium or a Gemcrafter or whatever so you don't know if it's a doppel or a Shaman clone or something but the others think he's cool so you're cool with him too. you both stand around superposing and boasting about how no blade can kill you, as Knights do. the other guy seems a little off but maybe having just spawned in from the powers of a Shaman will do that to you. you don't know. you spend your time invincibilitymaxxing, not studying witchcraft.
anyways so imagine you see yourself get stabbed. it's you, through and through, he was just Corrupted. and you watch yourself die when your entire identity revolves around how that doesn't happen to you. you can't die. you just died.
and that goes against your whole thing. you never expected to be able to die. and now you're watching yourself bleed out on the grass. and either the demons are killed or they aren't but either way you're walking home with the memory of your own death. when you can't die.
I kinassigned them the song Phony (I think the original is by Kafu?)
But I keep thinking of Trickle’s translyrics since that’s the cover I happen to like a bunch
ok I looked that up, got distracted drawing Doppel over that one scene, then actually finished listening lmao
side note why is Dop's ear a different color than its neck in the game art like what's up with that
anyways I absolutely see what you mean, I think the lyrics and general theme are very fitting for a doppelganger, especially one with hangups about being "real" or "fake". Like with Medium specifically, if she calls it a "real" rolename, then she is lying. It's not just a copy, it's a fake.
anon you are giving me doppel brainworms /affectionate
Doppelganger headcanoner here again: I like thinking they make the outfits themselves, and body itself (like the physical shape and such) is achieved via ability
I don’t know how the mask works but like to think it’s akin to an extension of themself and that + lack of proper personal identity is why they prolly don’t really…take it off
TBF it would be kinda weird for it to shift its body to look like clothes. I can see it being a sewing master just for ease & comfort.
Though now I'm imagining Dop hearing that there's a demon killing gathering later on and it starts looking through its hoard of villager outfits, trying to decide who it's going to be tonight lmfao.
But also let's back up to the identity comment bc I am Looking. This is a game where, aside from Lilis & Baa, everyone both does and does not have an identity. Nobody has a name but everyone has The Thing They Are. There's no Chloes or Westleys or Algernons, just a Confessor and a Wretch and an Alchemist. Dop has neither, really. It has no name, no face. Its only identity is copying someone else's identity. In a game where everyone is already nameless it goes a step further in Not Having An Identity. That's so.,,, augahauagaugh
