Okay, okay...how about a hc about a reader that just sacrifices everything??? Like...

You have not enough money? READER GIVES YOU ALL THEIR MONEY!

You and reader have barely eaten and there's only one plate of anything left? Oops, reader has already given you the plate.

In a match? Everyone got away except reader because they always sacrificed themself OOPS

I noticed that I always sacrifice myself for my friends, be it rl or in idv, it's always the same..ehehe

Could I wish for norton, orpheus, naib and emma for this? I'm afraid I don't know how many people you write for. If there are too many, you can leave some out

Ps. Love your writing style!! 💕

This guy grew up on the generosity of others. Being in the mines, it was pretty tough so everyone did what they could to make such a dull a little easier on each other.

Listen. He won't say no if you're coughing up money. Absolutely not... Donuts too? Okay damn-.. HEY! HE'S THE HARASSER! DON'T START TRYING TO PROTECT HIM-

He isn't the type of person for a charity case. He prefers to work hard to achieve what he wants. It not only, shows that he deserves it, but it's plenty refreshing when he actually earns it. So he's a little off put by your generosity at first...

Everytime you give him something. He clarifies "I'm not giving this back".

He's always dumbfounded by the "I know!" Response he got back. Sure, there was generosity... But you were either just.. Stupid or had no sense of value to anything. He just sort of... Questions your sanity a bit.

📖 𝐎𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐮𝐬 📖

Honestly, he finds it pretty damn endearing. He doesn't really need anything, but the way you just give anything up to anyone in need truly inspires him.

It's also a little concerning-. Like... You need to take care of yourself, please start putting yourself before other people. You're just as important as others.

He definitely feels bad everytime you're left on chair. You're the type of person to give the shirt of your back to someone in need, so how is it fair that you always get sent back?

He definitely gives back to you in some way. Maybe he slides you some of his own food when he's not hungry to make sure you're getting properly fed, or bodyblock you so you quite literally can't sacrifice yourself without wasting precious time and energy. Hehe, sneaky novelist.

🌿 𝐄𝐦𝐦𝐚 𝐖𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 🌿

This girl finds it a little funny that you're always getting sent back to the manor. It's not anything too bad.. It's just an instinct for you to throw yourself into danger so she can escape. It's pretty sweet..

She's also pretty self sacrificing herself. So you know that one picture where it's this couple being held at gun point and they keep going 'noo' to protect each other? Yeah that's you two.. It's all pretty light hearted though.

Does not forget to show you love for all the things you do for her. Flowers litter your room, attempted meals made by her showcase her appreciation and lots of affection. She truly does appreciate you.

She knows you can be pretty self sacrificial so she's often trying to help you out by disabling chairs before you can actually get chaired. This gives you a small opportunity to self heal and RUN.

🟢 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐛 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐫 🟢

Listen. He loves you. But oh my gOD. He does all of those rescues FOR NOTHING. CAN YOU AT LEAST TRY TO STAY OUT OF DANGER BECAUSE YOU ARE ON YOUR LAST CHAIR AND HE ABSOLUTELY WILL LEAVE YOU HERE.

He appreciates any food you give him. But, he will often half the food you do give to him. Like, if you slyly slip a loaf of bread suddenly onto his place, expect to enjoy half of it with him. He knows what it's like to go hungry and he doesn't want you to experience that.

No matter how many times you frustrate him to hell and back with your absolutely generosity and kindness, he can't help but admire that about you. The world is filled with assholes of every degree, you make this manor a little more tolerable.. Sometimes.

He can also be kind of self sacrificing due to his time in the army, so he will also do his best to make sure you're in tip top shape, but he will indulge in your kindness as some sort of guilty pleasure for the mercenary

Orpheus is quite tragic

I mean, I'm probably pointing out the obvious, but I'm new to IDV and I wanted to write out my thoughts.

His tragedy is more than just the story of "Orpheus and Eurydice", reading Burk's letters and the clues seen in the manor, his story is basically this:

He was the son of two employees working for the DeRoss family. He was treated as part of the DeRoss family and part of it was because they wanted to nurture his talent for writing. His real parents instead used him to steal from the DeRoss family and gain access to the manor which led to their gruesome end. It's really no wonder he saw the DeRoss couple as his own parents, they probably showed him love more than his own parents.

It doesn't really end there as you realize that Orpheus has never really had an identity of his own. He's had roles to play by his parents, by his publicist, and the powers behind the manor games. His current role is the Detective.

The real tragedy and horror here is that Orpheus truly has no identity of his own.

Man, I miss detective, I think more ppl should talk about him

Ok I'm reading through his lore

My instinctual brain reaction is That did not fucking happen and I think that's because there's a pretty severe disconnect between the state these guys are in the manor and the actual canon manor games

But that's like his whole thing so. I guess we just know fuck all???

Also the little girl is his daughter apparently?? Even though I thought it was like a younger Alice or is it. Both?? Huh

so i think with the little girl thing, she's meant to resemble alice i think but like memorues and shit he thinks he has a daughter that was the spitting image of his wife or something? i dunno it's hard for me to gather much of anything from this guys page.....

[t0bey]

Hope im the first to make this joke with him

I don't know if you write something like that, but I'll just ask!

Would you feel comfortable writing Eli and Orpheus headcanons with a reader who is super sweet but also lies about themself?

What I mean by that, reader had a not so great childhood but lies to keep their friends and partner from worrying and always says their childhood was super great and eventually reader breaks down because they can't take it anymore after months. Hopefully I explained that correctly. If this is too much, you can ignore the request c:

With a secretive S/O

TW: implications of bad childhood / distress. Please read at your own risk <3

🦉 𝐄𝐋𝐈 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐊 🦉

Now. Eli is a seer, quite literally a prophet and can tell future events... But, one thing he has always struggled with is analysing and adapting with the past.

His childhood was not the worst. So he tends to forget that others may have it harsher than he did. It's moments like with Emma where trauma flickers back up with her that he has the reoccurring realisation that.. Damn.. The world isn't the kindest place sometimes. Especially to people who don't deserve it.

In fact. It's moments with Emma, recalling her childhood... Kurt mentioning the neglect he experienced in his few moments of reality checks and literally Anne's whole childhood is when he notices the small details about you.

The way you stiffen up, the way your lips tighten into a straight line and the way your jaw tightens as if the words caught in your throat were being forced down with a sock.

... No way.

There is no way the world has turned it's back on you. Not you.

He didn't say anything at the time. He didn't dare to. If it was a sensitive subject, the last thing he wanted to do was to present it in an environment where you felt over whelmed.

But once you two were alone. He definitely brought it up somehow.

".. My darling, I noticed you seemed agitated with the... Dark... Topic that everyone was talking about earlier. Did... Are..." He hesitated. He didn't know where to even start. How do you ask someone about this?

"Did you have to get something off your chest?"

He wasn't expecting a light hearted chuckle. A usually cheery smile graced on those lovely lips of yours as you insisted that he was reading too much into it.

It was pretty sweet that he was concerned about you. But your childhood was fine! No severely traumatic events or mind altering scenarios! No sir-y!

Yeah no he saw right through that. He saw right fucking through that.

His face fell from gentle concern to now a stern, yet disquit expression. He didn't want to push you, he knew this must've been bad if you were hiding it from him...

And you fucking knew he knew too. Damn. Curse Eli's intelligence. You'd have to do a better job keeping it inside.

It took months for him to catch you slipping up. It was as if it were some game of vulnerability. Eli wanted to be there for you, but you hated the thought of him worrying about you. It was better to keep it inside then ruining this good thing you've got with him.

However. You slipped up in privacy. A hand over your mouth and the tears rolling down your eyes with silent sobs you've learnt to keep down. Your back pressed against a wall of your room in the manor as you try to collect yourself.

And as if some cruel deity knew you were at your weakest. There was the gentle knock at the door. Of course it was Eli.

And let me tell you. The moment he noticed you in this state..? He was at your side. He was not going to let you push him away. Not when you're like this..

He sat there for so long. Listening to it come spilling out like red wine on a wedding dress. Everything. You told him everything. You felt ashamed, dirtier and the lowest of the low.

But with the Seer's support and unconditional love. Deep down inside.

It was going to be okay.

📖 𝐎𝐑𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐔𝐒 📖

A man of secrets himself. He too, holds a bad childhood underneath his formality. After being adopted by the DeRoss family, and after having their family home destroyed and losing what was majority of what he had... He knew how sensitive that stuff could be.

Unlike Eli, he isn't as clueless. Every good artist, written or visual in any sense, is tortured. And considering you were by far the most beautiful thing to have ever been presented to him. He knew there must've been something hidden in you.

He never mentioned his suspicions. But they were confirmed through the little things you did. The way you apologized for the littlest things. The way you attempted to brush things off that weren't okay with a sheepish giggle.

Damn. He'd make a good ass detective.

He'd find some sort of way to mention it casually. Whether you're alone or with a group didn't matter to him. You had to know.

"Y/N, you know you can come to me with anything that's weighing your shoulders down. Okay? I'm here for you."

You brush him off. He knows he can't force you to open up about that. It must've been pretty bad then. His mind fell. Was it something small? Or was it.. Bigger? Were you like him? Taunted and haunted by the past?

Eventually, he noticed you were in an especially bad mood. You seemed to grow anti social and hide in your shell a lot more. As if the next mild inconvenience would just cause you to burst out into tears.

He took your hand, pulled you into a private area, providing you a safe space to finally choke out what you've been needing to.

It was genuinely pretty hard for the novelist to listen to. He couldn't believe that the world had let you down so badly... How...?.. What kind of...

For once. The author was at a loss for words. Instead, he simply embraced you. Lulling you into security and comfort. Two kindred souls intertwining with each other.

It didn't do much. Nothing could change the past but... Neither you or him were alone now.

You had each other.

Orpheus in 1928

He's a permanent patient in a psychiatric hospital that is thankfully one of the few that treats its patients well. He was placed there after information about the games and who he truly was came into public light.

His mind is fractured and he has periods of going catatonic. Orpheus still writes, but with a typewriter as his hand had been severely broken all those years ago.

Alice would visit him and soon her son would become a visitor.
