Charlotte Keppel - The Villains - Piatkus - 1980

[thegreencarousel]

There’s a lot of things I want to scream about the Little Women kdrama but I’m absolutely tickled, incredibly delighted that a very nefarious moment was thwarted by - Singapore’s stringent littering laws XD The way I had to pause to scream laugh because the producers really did their research, this is the best thing ever like its both so incredulous yet authentic and so utterly fitting of the kdrama genre. This is the SEA rep I want in media XD

I cannot express how much the mha fandom has ruined my life

So I received this super long anonymous ask, so I hope you don't mind if I cut off the extraneous bits and spoilery parts so this doesn't become too long!

I'm very grateful for the ask though, but please send your spoilery asks to @in-auctorem-credimus-if instead! I'll be happy to answer if you have further or follow-up questions!

In Auctorem Credimus spoilers ahead!

1. I only found one hidden link on my second playthrough as my Heart Twin and all I have to ask. Is there some kind of translator for the link? [...]

Yup! Just look up "hexadecimal to text converter". It's likely that you won't be familiar with the decoded text, so you'll have to use Google Translate to find out its meaning!

2. The villain. Honestly, you may have already explained this and I just wasn’t here for it, but is there a villain, maybe villains? [...]

The "villains" that will be chasing you throughout the story depends on which genres you pick in your short story. Each genre has a different villain, so you might get different dialogue and fight/chase scenes, but they all have the same role story-wise.

They'll be the "main villains" from Volume 1 to Volume 3. The ending of IAC happens in the middle of Volume 4, so from then on, the group is basically trying to run away from both the story villains and The Foundation... except, isn't CANon trying to capture the story villains too? And even if Squad 626 lets the kids go, they still have to deal with the rest of CANon.

I won't spoil too much about what happens after that, but there's another "villain" behind everything else. You won't find out who or what it is until the end of Volume 6, but trust me when I say that it's the hardest thing to keep a secret. 😄

3. Hope this doesn’t come off as rude because I’m genuinely curious because the more I think about it, what exactly does our story genre change? [...]

Lots of things:

Unlocking special interactions, dialogue, and flavor text: This can be as small as MC knowing what JM's dog is named after, or as big as knowing a certain monster's weakness, or giving you extra clues when trying to complete sidequests. For example: The Leap Day Lady sidequest provides different bonus clues for Fairytale/Mythology/Supernatural/Mystery Lovers.

Your MC's powers and abilities: The best example I can think for this is that Fairytale Lovers will gain the ability to talk to (or at least understand) animals later. Each genre combination has their own advantages!

Your story world: Yes, you do get to visit your own story world in Volume 6. This also affects the villains chasing you throughout the story, as well as the background and powers/abilities of MC's parents.

4. I wanted to know that if the player decides for MC to go the same way, say their personality is very different than the one they began with. Will that be recognized? [...]

Yes! That's the plan at least. I'm also planning a feature in later volumes that will allow you to shift personalities much easier in-between volumes. (If you're interested about the mechanics, you can find more information here.)

5. I know you said you don’t really want praise. But I’m going to do it anyway. I know you have a hard time giving the Twin their own identity outside of the MC since they are already so customizable, but I’m going to be honest… Some of my favorite moments are when the Twin says/does something when I’m not currently playing as them. [...]

Hehe, thank you! I've said this before, but I did base the Heart Twin's personality from Wayne and Roselyna since they're the original twins in the first draft of my story, while Star Twin's personality is closer to Lily and JM's.

6. If F6E had their own stats similar to the Twins, what would it look like? [...]

If you mean the four attributes (Vigor, Grace, etc.), you can find them in the non-mobile version of the character page.

If you mean their personality stats, please send a separate ask because this is too long already! 😅

7. Our pet! Honestly, one of my favorite additions to this story. I know we probably won’t see our pet past Chapter 3 (even though I wish we could!) But I love them. I chose to have the dog and named him Boney. (if you get that reference, you’re awesome.) [...]

You'll see your pet again in Chapter 5 if you go the Investigation Branch. Although now that I think about it, maybe they can make another appearance in Chapter 7 during the school invasion? One of the reasons Julie/Robert adopted the pet was to keep an eye on the twins, and the invasion is definitely enough of a threat, although the pet will be definitely be trying not to blow their cover.

The pet was inspired by Perry the Platypus from Phineas and Ferb, so yes, the pet could be from any story world—CANon has animal agents too, which is one of the reasons the pet can understand the MC regardless of whether they have the [Animal Lover] Trait or not.

And sorry, I don't get the reference. 😅

8. Anyway, the stats in DDWCAPH interest me. In fact, just last night, I was thinking about what the hell they could possibly be used for like is my Heart Twin gonna randomly stumble upon a huge boulder in their and F6E’s way and using vigor, they just somehow pick it up. Imagining a 12 year old do that is. silly. [...]

I renamed the stat from Strength to Vigor because I wanted it to represent a general physical "fitness/endurance/constitution" stat, so it's not just about pure strength.

Maybe picking up boulders sounds silly if you didn't choose the Superhero genre, but when I mentioned you'll be fighting legendary monsters in the introduction post, I mean monsters like the Big Bad Wolf, Medusa, and the Lernaean Hydra. Not to mention there's also the story villains. I think imagining a 12 year old do that is a lot more sillier.😄

And thanks for the recommendation! I've heard of Disco Elysium before, although I don't think I'd enjoy it very much. The mechanics do seem interesting though!

why our aunt (I think it was our aunt) hid to us about our Mom coming back? The twins are obviously both hurting from this. Do they think it would make their relationship worse or is it for more selfish reasons? [...]

If you follow the Secrets Guide, yes, you can find out in Chapter 3 that Julie does indeed want the twins to be her children. It's selfish, yes, but you have to keep in mind that Julie and Maggie are estranged, and Maggie just suddenly showed up on her doorstep with the twins. (Also Julie doesn't want a repeat of the cursed fieldtrip—it's very likely that Maggie won't follow through with her promise again, and she'd rather not disappoint the twins and make them fight again.)

There's definitely more to this story as you'll find out in the Investigation Branch in Chapter 5, but yup, regardless of the reasons, MC has every right to be angry at both Julie and Maggie.

Also, incase you didn’t know, I somehow remember a glitch about how if you find this secret before your twin gets out of the shower, [...]

Oh no, not another bug! I'm not sure when you last played, but I tried to fix a looping shower bug a few days before, so I don't know if you're referring to the same thing.

But yes, I would absolutely appreciate screenshots if it's still happening. Thank you!

I have more questions, but I kind of want to replay through the whole game + IAC to get more of a good view of it all.

Thank you! I'm honestly just flattered you have this many questions for me, but please space them out a little so the ask doesn't get very long! 😅

CLYDE is boring and I miss jones too. At least in the he’s a better evil, sense.

It’s just so funny because the writers obviously think he’s cooler than he is lmao like the music and the boots they give him? But he’s just jones lite with no personality. He’s only interesting in scenes with Bonnie imo.

[vamprisms]

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

[loathsome-sickness]

"people show their true colours in life threatening situations" no, they show you what they act like when they're mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen

They will be safe. It doesn't matter who else or what else burns as long as They will be safe.

I will be safe. The hunger and the cold will never touch me again.

Fuck any bitch who's prettier(/cooler/better-liked/better at making dumplings) than me.

Yes, Master

Love me. Love me. Love me. Love me. LOVE ME!

I know the terrible things these so-called "heroes" will do if I don't stop them (<- is absolutely wrong)

I don't want a better future, I want a better past!
