Yes, I understand that there are many types of yandere... But... I can't consider Pierrot as a crazy yandere. Would you describe him as evil, rude, or cruel? He even asked for permission on how often he could bite us! If an ordinary yandere were sharing a bed with us, things would go very badly. But our Pierrot asked if he could stay or not. So I really can't take seriously the idea that he is a crazy yandere.

Yes, in the canon he is a yandere, but I can't call him that! Okay, he kills and eats people, but that doesn't count. I can overlook that.

Jester in your style looks very crisp i wanna bite him like a crumble cookie

which brushes do you mostly use? Personally i love sanderling <3

wait do you use procreate–

Haha, I don’t use Procreate 😅 IbisPaint is my playground. That brush… total accident 😭 I messed with the settings, and somehow it worked! You can see a few moments of the process in the pics:

Aaaaaaaand.... We have your favorite Jester!

i just noticed that if i put a hat on my head, my hair looks exactly like harlequin’s, i don’t know what to say

And only when you put on a hat? For me it’s a bit different.

My curiosity matches the Doctor's.

My end-of-day exhaustion rivals Jester’s.

As for my charisma — it’s about as talkative as Pierrot.

My humor is just as clumsy as Ticket Taker’s.

And my ability to keep everything under control?

Let’s say it’s on the same level as Harlequin's respect for personal space.

Im curious to know what's your favorite ice cream flavor?

Favorite flavor? Let me think. Well, I like many flavors, like pistachio, raspberry, vanilla, lemon... But I think my favorite is chocolate. But how do I eat if my character doesn't have a mouth?

I actually do, but I rarely use it. (It's just a quirk of my character.) And my OC Madrigal's favorite flavor is vanilla :D.

Nobody loves me... Really?... I am not needed by anyone... A useless artist with a bad drawing style... My drawings are not good enough...

I'll just go throw myself in a ditch... Oh wait, I'm in the city, there are no ditches here :'(

Time to make another TFC theory.

Used translator. Sorry.

Do you remember the last mirror in the blue tent? Many have their own guesses about it. Is it a sealed soul of Columbine, a ghost of Columbine, an illusion of Ticket Taker? I would like to share my theory.

First of all, at the end of the conversation with Ticket Taker, he tells us that the last mirror is his favorite. It’s clear that he knew about this mirror. And it’s obvious that it has been around for a while, as there was time for him to observe other visitors who found this mirror. Pierrot and Harlequin, and possibly others, also knew about this mirror. Because when Pierrot is reflected in the mirror, he sees what we didn't want to see, and then he (yes, he and Harlequin were there) throws a knife and shatters the mirror. And later we hear a growl. It's clear that behind the mirror was Harlequin himself, visible by his glowing eyes. Do you think this is an illusion created by Ticket Taker? Not at all. He told us, "Do not trust your eyes. Mirrors can show you things that you should not have seen and things that you did not want to." (I don’t remember exactly.) He was talking about MIRRORS, but he didn’t mention what was happening outside them, except for the illusion of him that came out of the mirror. That also matters, as it came from the MIRROR.

I believe that the Columbine we saw is a memory (Ticket Taker's illusion in a sense). It was created from all their memories, the way they remember her. Why did they create this? I don’t know. Perhaps for performances. Don't you think so? And what about the fact that she was also there with others in their performances? In Harlequin’s story and in the Jester's performance, they just showed her from their perspective. Here, Ticket Taker showed her from "her" perspective in the form of an illusion.

Another theory is that it was created as a "test" for us. Remember that we could either run away or approach closer. Perhaps the circus troupe wanted to see how curious we are and how far we would go in their affairs, or how we would react afterward.

With you was Rud! Share your guesses about this. I'm interested :D

Hello darlings~

I'm back!

I really want to know more about Coraline. What's her dynamic with the other characters in the circus, and even with MC? (P.S.: I simply love her design, it's beautiful!)

Hahaha! I'm glad to know someone so loved her.

Jester

She considers him clever — even too clever. All she really needs from him is a salary and a place to stay, since she works for him anyway. Their relationship is neutral but respectful.

Harlequin

At first, Harlequin didn’t take her seriously and thought she was a child. When he realized that wasn’t true, he started teasing her about her height and appearance — which usually ended with him getting hit by her.

Doctor

She respects him. Coraline often visits his tent, and her relationship with him is calmer and more comfortable than with most others.

Ticket Taker

She dislikes paperwork, but the Ticket Taker loves it. She often goes to him to work together or at least try to understand accounting. She wants to learn… but she’s lazy.

Pierrot

They had a good relationship from the very beginning. Pierrot never liked jokes about her height, and he appreciated how Coraline helped him in situations where he was forbidden to speak. However, after Pierrot fell in love with the protagonist, she started to worry — because she herself once had feelings for a human.

The main character (MC)

As a monster, Coraline dislikes men specifically. She only devours men and never harms women or children. She wouldn’t care about Pierrot dating the protagonist if it weren’t for that — and that’s
