Every few years Phil Lollar releases a novelization of a Blackgaard episode, with just a little extra information about a few characters in it, and I eat it up EVERY single time.

Please please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks that Blackgaard was planning on committing suicide for the entirety of dbd. There is no way he blew himself up as a last ditch effort to not get caught.

When he talks to Glossman after giving his withdrawal speech, Glossman says “Goodbye, sir,” and Blackgaard replies quietly with “Yes…” THAT RIGHT THERE is the moment that confirms that he’s gonna end it.

PLUS Jack Allen saying “He said he didn’t want to die [from Ruku], so he set off the detonator” combined with the fact that Bovril “tried to tell [blackgaard] about the antidote” BUT SOMEHOW COULDN’T? Dude look who you’re talking about if he wanted the antidote he would have been scrambling for it. If you tried to tell him but couldn’t, that means he made up his mind and didn’t wanna listen.

Can I also point out that in one of the books (I don’t remember which one lol), he recalled finding Professor M in South America and noting that he was weak, old, frail, and wheelchair bound, and how he wouldn’t go down that same path.

I’m just giving my own headcanons here but I personally think he equated getting old/illness to failure and that’s why he killed himself. He didn’t want to be perceived as anything less than “perfect” and so he decided to die by his own hand before that could happen. Also he’s a major control/power freak so it wouldn’t be surprising that he’d want to be able to control his own death.

Also he did it so any punishment he would have received would just go straight to Nicky. Bro is serving his “father’s” prison sentence.

Ok ok ok but like — some of the moments between Blackgaard and Richard.

gay? slightly homoerotic? But like, in an unhealthy manipulation kinda way? Thinking about “hurt people hurt people” and I’m just saying there might be something there.

This might be self-projection/trauma speaking. I’m also very sick currently. But I need someone to tell me if I’m out of my mind or if this is something that other people see

Here it is, my very first animatic! It’s clunky, it’s jank, but it is ALIVE. I remember coming up with this meme in my head and knowing the perfect lines to use, so when I finally got to make it a reality I was very proud of myself.

The main difference that people notice between Edwin and Regis Blackgaard is that their noses are different - Edwin's nose is crooked whereas Regis' nose is straight. The reason is that Regis broke Edwin's nose when they were kids and it never got set correctly. To this day it drives Edwin crazy that his nose is crooked, but Shakespeare always tells him that it gives him "character" and that it's "quite fetching, really." It helps a little.

This isn’t a complete list, but I thought it’d be fun to see what ‘bad guy’ people like most!

And this is a pretty wide spectrum of bad, but I’m including characters who are presented as inherent, if not totally harmful, bad guys due to their views not aligning with Whit’s and therefore casting them as a villain in the eyes of the audience

realization about regis blackgaard i just had: in “the battle” he says he’s stupid with computers and relies on richard to do all the computer stuff, hanging back and asking a bunch of basic questions, but then in “double trouble” whit posts the article about regis being in vienna at some kind of technology conference, iirc giving talks about computer languages or something along those lines

which means that regis, after his escape, was considering finding another computer guy, then looked at everything that happened with his original computer guy — a teenage thug who spent most of his time (and some of regis’s pocket change) drinking sodas and milkshakes with a kid who had very little actual strategic value to their corporate espionage plans, and then used his “i’m in” skills and the moral code he’d accidentally absorbed from said kid to wreck literally everything regis had built in odyssey — and said “if you want something done right, do it yourself”
