Wanted to cosplay my favorite from this game and this is how it turned out! If you like it, please feel free to like it on Instagram too (aurum.219) Thank y'all 🫶✨️💕

OKAY, so we all know by now the basic idea between the three. Pierrot was in a relationship Colombiana, Harlequin was jealous of Pierrot. But is that actually true?

In Neko's ama, someone asks about Jester's opinion on their relationship, to which he replies with this.

This doesn't imply the same jealousy that Jester's story has. Infact, it kind of implies the opposite. That the three got along with eachother just fine, and that Harlequin's actions were more related to the human's than Pierrot.

Now, this made me re-think something. Jesters play in his tent- how much of it can we believe? Obviously it's not a one-to-one recreation of what happened, but how much of it is a lie? We know for a fact Harlequin was lying in his story about Colombiana being a willing sacrifice. We know this because of the "flashback" in her mirror tells us. It also tells us that Harlequin eats her not out of jealousy but desperation.

In Colombiana's mirror, we get an important fact I think most people missed.

She asks for Harlequin's help, not Pierrot's.

I think their relationship is much more complicated than what's been let on. Let's think about their namesakes, a Pierrot is typically a stock character, mostly known for sad love- Pinning for Colombiana, who typically chooses Harlequin over him.

Now we don't know how much this idea applies to the monsters. But having the three names be the same is very important. Did Pierrot and Colombiana actually ever have a romantic relationship? How much was Harlequin actually involved?

This brought me to think about the games planned endings. A solo ending, a bad ending, One with each Pierrot and Harlequin individually, and one with both them together. Now, this is a dating sim. It's not uncommon that players can't pick and want to date multiple characters at once. But I thought it was interesting that having both was always and intended option. For two characters who supposedly hate eachother, it's kinda funny that you can be with both of them at the same time isn't it?

Maybe that's because it happened before.

Here's what I've been leading up to say: I think that Harlequin, Pierrot, and Colombiana were all in a relationship together. It's implied that Pierrot and Harlequin's rocky relationship only started after what happened with Colombiana. So it's fully possible that the two were actually closer than first said. I think that's why their relationship is what it is now. Pierrot is heartbroken not just because the monster he loved was taken away from him, but because she was taken by someone else he also loved.

Harlequin is constantly antagonizing Pierrot, getting into his business and trying to court MC solely because he sees Pierrot's interest in them. I don't think this comes from a place of hate, I think it comes from desperation. He misses Pierrot, he can't spend time with him like they used to. Pierrot hasn't forgiven him and probably refuses to even acknowledge Harlequin in most cases. The only way Harlequin can get his attention is through fighting.

That's why he's constantly starting things with Pierrot, that's why he tries to court MC in the first place. Not because they caught his eye, but because he knows he'll get the other monster's attention that way. I think the 3 endings between them will be very complex. With Pierrot's route leaving Harlequin to be forgotten, Harlequin's route to be about moving on from the past, and their together route to be about forgiveness.

Of course, this is all just a theory. I'm grasping at straws here. But I figured I'd share it because I'm desperate to know what anyone else thinks and if my impression even makes sense. Please ya'll talk to me about this I'm going insane.

Pierrot, Harlequin, Doctor, Jester or Ticket taker?

Art is by me :)

I am a sucker for red and blue together and it is more fitting to Jester cause ya know they make purple together- I am rambling don't mind me

All over social media I see people talking about the ending and like the other characters but I only see part 1 in my game (where I head home and all of them are watching me at night). Where is part 2?

For those who love Pierrot ❤️

Just for funzies

Not mine ALL FROM PINTREST

that last one was ass, and just like many, many asses that came before it people ate it up anyway

viva la revolution, working on my lineart, and uh feel free to put requests down in the comments, i always need more ideas.

my art is getting there, eventually...

i like to imagine he wears a whole sweaty latexsuit underneath his normal attire, all the time. it'd be really funny and totes relatable

I've noticed a few OCs popping up in this sub sooOo..why not lmao

His name is Acro, (short for acrobat. he prefers Acro because he thinks his full name sounds too 'formal').

He's a cocky arrogant showoff, but develops a much softer bond with you the further into the playthrough

He's a fire dancer. 😁👍 he does tricks/acts involving flaming blades, poles, wepons, and other toolss.. . He also takes the trick's name a little too seriously by LITERALLY lighting himself on fire whilst in the act for the audience's entertainment [hints at the freak part ig. Dw he's.. mostly fire proof].

A little iffy on some of the design- 🤷, changes might happen

Feel free to ask questions/opinions if desired ! :D probably gonna end up posting him more since most of the OC subs I'm a part of are kindaaa growing inactive

I kept drawing him because he just didn’t look accurate to me.. something about the bangs didn’t sit right with me.. whenever I looked at references his hair style made no sense to me

Then I realized, after seeing a more detailed version of his character, that yes, we all know he is wearing a mask, what I didn’t notice was that his mask is quite literally pushing his bangs back, hence giving a ‘slickback’ look, and that he didn’t actually have ‘bangs’

This implies that with his mask off, he has bangs. Otherwise it’s pushed back. And then it clicked. You can even see the outline of his mask in some artwork of him. (3)

Anyway, in the first image, I redrew his actual hair on the bottom, and on the second image, is how I drew his hair beforehand. Small difference but it looked more accurate and I was quite happy with it:)

By the way I apologize about the bubble chats beforehand lol, I know it’s cheesy just ignore it

Je pense je suis amoureuse de ticket taker

À chaque fois je vois ticket taker je deviens hypnotisé pas lui je me mets à crier silencieusement et je me mets à m’exciter quand je le vois dans le jeu et j’accepte jamais le ships ticket taker jester (je suis pas homophobe) ni avec les autres personnage j’ai un vraie problème.

(Important Note: the art isn't mine, I found it on Pinterest)
