Something that Fear and Hunger 1 does really well is that the game puts you in situations where the more knowledge you gain about the game and the better your understanding of its systems, the more making what would normally be reprehensible actions will become the norm for you. And this starts from even before you get into the game proper; the first time you go through the character backstories, you'll have no idea what skills each choice gives you, so you'll likely just choose what seems like the best (most moral) option. Try to live cleanly as the Mercenary, choose not to kill your twin sister after she spares your life in a duel as the Dark Priest, and choose to go hungry instead of giving in to the temptation to eat the remains of your comrades as the Outlander. And while the skills you get from trying to be moral may not be bad per say, it won't take that many attempts before you get curious and end up finding out just how much more valuable the alternatives are. Lockpicking for the Mercenary saves vital resources like keys and red vials, and giving in to your hunger and committing cannibalism in the Outlander's backstory gives you Devour, allowing you to sate your hunger with enemy corpses - a skill that while disturbing and morally reprehensible in concept is invaluable for reasons that are literally in the game title. The Dark Priest is probably the most compelling case; choosing to kill your sister starts you with the Necromancy spell, allowing you to turn human corpses into allies. Not only does this give you access to early party members who just by existing means less attacks will be directed at you, but your undead allies have higher base stats than you and don't require any food. And while you can still get the Necromancy spell later if you don't start with it, Dark Priest is easily the most vulnerable of the playable characters at the start, having low stats in literally every category. He's frail and weak and without any allies he has no real options early on if he's unlucky enough to get into combat other than to try to escape. Yes, starting without Necromancy is doable, but having it early just makes things so much easier! And hey, regardless of if you choose to kill or spare her, you never actually see his sister in-game, so does it really matter? Well that's up to, isn't it? You'll just have to decide if you're okay with the knowledge that your first successful Dark Priest Hard Mode S Ending may be one in which your character canonically killed his sister in cold blood and then took satisfaction in puppeting her lifeless corpse.

[Image description: Four drawings of Enki and Evelyn, both being from Fear and Hunger but the latter half being an original character based off of Enki's twin sister mentioned in the game. All of the drawings have corresponding text with them. Additionally, there is no color in the image.

First two are drawings of Enki and Evelyn as adults. Enki has curly but unruly/unhealthy hair, sunkedn in eyes and a very frail frame. Evelyn is more noticably healthier, with curly locks cascading down her shoulders, a hooked nose and bushy eyebrows. The next near enki reads "this was supposed to be them as kids or something but i accidentally made enki look like the 30/40s something waffle they are." followed by "[did manage to draw them as kids as seen over near the right tho so eden w]"

Second two are drawings of the two as children, both noticably more younger and less unhealthy looking. Evelyn looks more apathetic/tired, whilst enki looks calm. The text near Evelyn reads "evelyn and enki as kids as you can see. evelyn seems like the girl to inherit more traits from her father than her mother and enki seems like the inverse of that. like whatever their parents look like enki more resembles his mother aka a dead corpse in the ground" followed by text that is slightly transparent that reads "[please laugh at my jokes i'm trying to be funny.]" The text near Enki reads "i think as a kid enki was a bit nicer than they are now [as nice as a kid their age who grew up in the 1800s could be. those kids were narsty lemme tell you] but after the dark priest trials… yeah. yeah."

then there is some text seemingly not connected to the drawings, and are there to give context to the rest of the next. it reads as follows: "evelyn seems similar to enki, but i feel like she's much more physically stronger than they are. she'd likely be rude like they are but still tries to see a little bit of good in people. i think again prior to both of them going through the dark priest trials they were really close, however due to the traumatic and violent nature of the trials they grew to hate and distain each other, with enki getting the brute of it due to being disabled" and "if evelyn survives at all, then she'd probably have a really complicated relationship with enki, due to her winning resulting in them being thrown down the well to die, with her assuming that they're dead. she'd likely be similar to enki and encase herself in studying as a coping mechanism, however unlike enki hers would likely involve her learning more physical attacks than the blood+bug magic enki learned." /End description]

first of all i'd say im sorry for the long ass image description but if you guys can post about your ableist+gross takes on all of the different FAH characters with no backlash whatsoever, i can make the post i'm making accsesible towards people who use screen readers. go fuck yourselves. second of all i kinda got obsessed with enki's sister and ended up making an oc based off of that. her name is evelyn [she/her as of now] and i think in adulthood she'd be a gro-goroth worshipper [again subject to change]. i'll probably post a bit more about her later but yeah

[reblogs > likes/don't like without reblogging!! | use they/them for enki when referring to them, please!!]
