Reader/Lunatic Lore

who Lunatic is (Act One idea of them)

#reader lore #lunatic lore #hoping this will work out like i'm planning :/

How would you think a boss battle with reader and lunatic would go if they were canon in the re8 universe? I’d shit my pants if I was Ethan 😭

OH BOY-

i think i’ve mentioned before that Reader/Lunatic would be stalker-type enemies; like, you think you see someone on the edge of your vision, only for them to be gone when you actually turn your head to face them

i think Reader would likely stalk him in the cellar, just watching his every move, maybe occasionally knocking something over because they can’t see perfectly in the dark

i don’t think they would mutate until they know he’s a threat, be it by trying to attack them or by stumbling across the crystallized corpse of one of their beloveds

if the latter was the case, the man wouldn’t make it out alive

even so, just imagine walking through the darkened castle, unsure of where anyone is but feeling like you’re being watched, just unable to actually SEE anyone. you might catch glimpses of a dark silhouette watching you nearby with glowing eyes, but they’re gone in a moment’s notice

assuming Ethan had to battle them, i’d say it would take place in one of the bigger areas of the castle, or perhaps through several of them. maybe it would start out in the foyer and progress to the courtyard if they chase him?

it would be incredibly difficult to kill them, though, and i think he would really only be able to find a way to force them to leave and regenerate rather than actually take them out for good

let’s say he starts shooting because this strange person approaches him and asks if he’s a threat. they’re just curious, but he doesn’t have time for this. he shoots, hits them, but they don’t… move? they barely even act like he’d done anything, but he SEES the blood dripping from the wound

“oh, that’s no good,” they mumble as they lightly touch the blood, bringing their hand back to stare at it. “they won’t like that.”

he obviously doesn’t understand. he tries to, sure, tries asking them questions, maybe even tries to apologize for shooting them, but then he sees them lift the red collar of the woman who he’s killed in the kitchens

he’s fucked, plain and simple

i think their wings would start to come out as they monologue and perhaps circle him, oh so casual despite the wound likely in their chest. they tell him a bit about themself, tell him his daughter is not there, and gives him one last chance to leave

he doesn’t, of course. he can’t trust someone that’s so similar to her

they understand, but then they… apologize? they tell him he should have taken their offer

and that’s when he would see another, much taller version of this strange person appear from nothing. they move to stand behind the first, grinning, and that is when the battle starts

(he wouldn’t win, of course. Reader would let Lunatic have their fun for a bit before reversing time and stopping him before he kills anyone, but they may take pity on him and try to convince him to leave. i personally think they would kill him after they reverse :3)

#asks #no i haven’t thought about this at all why do you ask #i might write smth on this at some point idk #also #i think Reader would be called Crow in canon #teehee #what if scenarios #reader lore #lunatic lore

Lunatic scared of women so rel but bro can be either gay panicking or poor fella is just traumatised cuz women from their reality +Miri are terrifying

oh for sure-

on the one hand, the gay panicking is absolutely hilarious and adorable, but i feel like there are a few reasons why they were actually afraid of Cass in that little excerpt:

1. Miranda isn’t there to “protect them”, or so they like to think. they have no expectations from her, so they really just. don’t know how to act? what are they supposed to do, besides threaten Cassandra? are they allowed to do anything? is this really who they are when Miranda isn’t around?

2. kind of hesitating even being themself (or how they think they should be around Miranda) because of what Reader has said to them about her not caring for either of them. why should they do anything against the real Dimitrescus when Miranda isn’t there? what do they have to gain?

3. the Cassandra in their reality has probably done some bad things to them (tried to take off limbs, appendages, etc.), so having the real one jerk at them without being in reality kind of gave them a bit of fight or flight when they remember how actually terrified they are of the megamycete versions of the girls :(

#asks #i love traumatizing them frfr #poor baby sees dani smiling and is just 😳😳#but then sees cass get angry w them without miri around and gets afraid for a second #ptsd is a horrible thing #lunatic lore #to promise the lore

If it isn't too spoilery, could we see the relationship you wrote out for Daniela/Lunatic? 👀 I desperately need content with them. Seeing Lunatic just watching her make flower crowns (they were blushing in my head when she looked at them) was adorable and I just know they're already soft for her.

THIS IS SO CUTE PLEASE

honestly, it would be very hard to dislike Daniela. like, the woman is literally a ray of sunshine. no one could last against that smile for very long

but!! yes >:) if any of this doesn't make it into the final cut, i'll 100% just write like. a little AU on it LMAO

Lunatic is introduced to everyone, and Daniela takes a massive liking to them (they're funky-looking and she loves that). They develop their own relationship with one another, and she shows them what it's like to be cared for and loved unconditionally. It does take a bit of time for them to be comfortable around her and realize she's just very touchy and means them no harm, but she accommodates their flinches and ensures they see her every movement.

#asks #to promise the moon #their relationship is gonna be so funny skdfjh #i think i'll keep it strictly platonic but daniela would be obsessed w them and no one can tell me otherwise #lunatic lore #to promise the lore

Hellooo!!! I love tptm and I’m wondering what you personally think the reader looks like 🧐 personally I imagine the reader as POC, mostly south East Asian, with a darker skin tone and long wavy black hair. keep up the good work ❤️❤️

OOH I CAN SEE THAT, despite the inclusive language to ensure everyone can kinda see themselves/a character in Reader, they were intentionally written to be a POC :D

i did a picrew of them so i’d have a picture to look back on and what i imagine them in my head:

(technically kinda darker skin than that, but i guess they could have this skin color in the winter ? i remember this picrew just being funky with darker tones)

this art of Lunatic done for me actually kinda represents what they look like in my head a bit better:

(ty ezzie <3)

i personally always thought shorter hair would be more efficient for all the shit they go through, but i can also see having darker/longer hair :D <3

i also usually imagine them being from a slavic country nearby, but honestly, picturing them from a european/asian (just not western, like the brits etc.) country is completely fine too >:)

#asks #to promise the moon #god i love hearing y’all’s interpretations of what they look like 😭#but i also do like that at least one other person views them as a POC #view them how you want tho <3 #it’s genuinely up to you individually #reader lore #lunatic lore

How was lunatic made? Ik they were born when reader was made a successful experiment. But, did they just.. appear? Like did bro just fade into existence inside of their version of castle dimitrescu like

🧍‍♀️

it might be a bit of a tricky answer-

as far as copies go, there are a lot of times where what they do overlaps. like in chapter sixteen (i think?) where we saw the copies of the girls again and C-Bela was grabbing onto Reader, the real one was doing the same thing, just a little different. so it's little moments like that where sometimes - often rarely - copies will do the same thing or live the same life as the real one, if only for a few moments

Lunatic, just like Reader, most likely would have woken in the "same" forest, and it would be like watching two extremely similar scenes play side by side, only for one to drift off at a certain point. we see both of them stumbling through the snow, injured, both hearing howls and cackles behind them... and while they both fall, only Reader is found that night. Lunatic is found in the morning

they both then wake in the castle, and that is where their stories begin to drift apart. but up until that point, Lunatic wouldn't have just appeared out of thin air in the castle as if they'd joined an online game and were then spawn-camped by the girls. it would have been gradual

just like how Reader found their way to the castle, they would have, as well, and then... mm. we all know how it went from there

#asks #to promise the lore #lunatic lore #i hope that answers it!!#made myself giggle with the spawn-camping comment

How tall would you say reader and lunatic are?

Reader’s height is literally the only thing i base off myself 😭

but i’d say they’re around 5’9”!! Lunatic (while fully mutated) is around 6’4” >:)

#asks #to promise the moon #i feel like lunny at one point was 6’2????#it’s fine tho #tall homie <33 #reader lore #lunatic lore

Do you have a set appearance for the reader? Like when you write do you think of anything in particular or do they just look like you in your mind?

i do! they’re just picrews of each variant of Reader because i haven’t had the time or motivation to draw like. a “set” appearance of them, but i needed something to look back on when i would struggle with writing them

in order, we have the Reader, the Lunatic, and the Watcher

they are supposed to look however you imagine them, which is why i try my best to use inclusive and neutral language anytime i need to describe something (like “she brushed her hand over your hair” instead of “through your hair”, yknow?)

imagine them however you like!! this is just how i see them when i’m writing :D

#asks #to promise the moon #maybe i can draw something during my winter break #i dunno yet #i couldn’t find anything that would fit the lunatic’s moldy plate over their eye </3 #but remember they look exactly like reader #just mutated #and they’re missing an eye-#fully mutated anyway #there’s certainly different versions of the mutation #like #no mutation #semi mutated (which is what we saw in the reality scene)#and fully mutated (which is the lunatic)#:D #reader lore #lunatic lore
