Hehe it's a pleasure (. ◜◡◝)
Aww I'm sure they're special! But that's totally fine, no worries! It's okay if you want to keep your account private or something like that, I understand (´｡• ◡ •｡`) ♡
I hope you continue drawing, and I can just look back on this one since I commented (˶◜ᵕ◝˶)
Take care, @kinderrrrrrrr ✧｡◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜✧*｡
OOHHH MY GOOD THIS IS SO CUTTEEE ♡ ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚♡
No but seriously- Your art has made my day. IT'S AMAZING!! PIERROT LOOKS SO PRECIOUS!! ｡ﾟ(TヮT) ♡
I love how you drew the clothes ❤❤❤ and the keychain- ( ˶°ㅁ°) AAAHHHH I NEED THIS TO BE REAL
Thanks for sharing; Tell me where I can follow you (˶ˆᗜˆʃ♡ƪ)
The connection with MC's bag and what was said on TV is meant for the reader to draw a connection between the circus and the disappearances. It's kinda obvious now about what's happening with pink tickets (we had a whole bad ending telling us what it was) so I don't see a need in explaining. It's also quite clever haha.
Aww making OCs is great! But you are right about the eye colours... I have noticed this but never really thought about it. Most of them match with their outfit but Pierrot's is different from the start: it's supposed to be white but Neko decided to make it red, and the colour red is also for MC's name and sometimes for Doctor so I'm guessing to avoid confusion, it is yellow. I think it's mosly about design purposes and I can't see why it would hide a meaning... It's a pretty and fitting colour if I do say so myself. In fact, Neko has said that Pierrot's attire was actually different in the story but then it had to be changed.
Thanks for bringing this up! And do not worry about your English; you type pretty well ^^ (Hi fellow European!)
Oh my God...! I feel like I just had an epiphany with your theory. I'm taking your interpretation (if you don't mind and not as my own of course) to further understand the story and its characters; it might as well be true! Allow me to share:
In the commedia dell'arte, Columbine chose Harlequin over Pierrot, but in this story, Columbina chose Pierrot. The role of Columbine is a soubrette which is not exactly what Columbina was portrayed -- more of an ingénue. I thought that Neko just decided to go on with his story and not follow exactly the stock character, but it does make sense: Colombina has chosen Harlequin in the end for she has turned to him for protection (despite rejecting him all this time). Thus, she probably didn't love Pierrot for what he is but mostly for the attention, gifts, and protection he was offering... And so it was easy for him to get replaced: all she cared about was to live, not him...
That is just insane because then it would make Pierrot's character more tragic (as it already was), defend Harlequin's actions (just a little since it explains why the rest were not so fond of her/why it was so easy for them to be okay with her death -- she was exploiting Pierrot and lead him to agony), and tell more about Columbina's true character.Not even a monster could love Pierrot... This is of course just a theory and personal speculations. Thank you for sharing this with us @Princess Spooky Suki! KUDOS ❤
Omg the reference to the broken mirror- Buddy you're onto something 😭🙏 But I believe it's mostly how the members of the circus were despised since they're "freaks," like what happened with Pierrot at the beginning of the story. "Abominations! Get out of our town! FREAKS!" I don't think there is any sort of connection to Harlequin, but... I like that idea!
We know the story of Colombina's death but I feel like Harlequin's motive has not been crystal clear. The only thing that has changed in the three different versions of the retelling was why Harlequin killed Colombina. Did he just did out of hunger or even a desire to feed Pierrot and the rest? Or perhaps did he want to save Colombina? Or was it just because he was envious? It's too vague and it's really bugging me... Does he even regret his actions?! I refuse to believe that he's just completely evil, but he does not show any signs of remorse for that crime. At the same time, the role of Arlecchino is supposed to be multifaceted.
Your analysis on the tragic event is very great, I must say, such as the remark about the ellipsis; I also thought of the same thing. The numerous mention of Harlequin being poisonous feels more like an actual fact than a metaphor at this point💀
But at the same time... Colombina has explicitly said that she did NOT want to die -- it wasn't an option -- so for her to thank Harlequin for killing her is practically agreeing that death will somehow grant her protection... Let us also remember that she thanked him BEFORE he killed her, as if she he must have thought he got out of the cage to protect her but instead: attacked her. I also wanna point out that Jester had absolutely no problem with Colombina being sacrificed.
Yes so Harlequin does not feel JEALOUS but rather ENVIOUS, please remember that since it's very easy to confuse (even for me) and that would misinterpret Harlequin's whole character🙏
If it was JEALOUSY, it will mean that Harlequin loves Colombina and hates Pierrot because of that, but it's not the case*: It's ENVY as mentionned in the story: "...Who saw the light in the lover's eyes and felt envy gnawing [at] him from within." Harlequin felt envious of Pierrot since he didn't have what Pierrot did (i.e. Colombina's love and attention). He just couldn't sit with the reality that someone was happier and better than him so he wanted to take what Pierrot had. *He didn't care about Pierrot (for killing his love) nor Colombina (for killing her), he just wanted to have what he couldn't, and that made him happy to see that Pierrot is as miserable as him now. Harlequin is a pretty complex character for being Arlecchino. I wonder why is he so envious... Like leave my baby alone😭
Oh and about why Pierrot is not allowed to speak, it's because he's Pierrot! His attire might have been modernised but his role remains unchanged. Pierrot is a mime and mimes are famously known to imitate without the use of speech. So Pierrot has to remain silent to fulfill his role; it's as simple as that! But I do wonder if perhaps there is something else below the surface on why he cannot... Or maybe we're overthinking this!
I DIDN'T SEE THE RED PANDA COMING 😭🙏❤
I love how you're going with this; it kinda makes sense! Harlequin is 100% a serpent; bro's got the tongue and most symbolisms (even sxual desire 💀).
But Colombina actually means 'little dove', FYI, which represents innocence, new beginnings (hum hum, sacrifice) monogamy/love (explains why she didn't want to be with Harlequin since she is already with Pierrot).
Ong bro, an ending with Pierrot is a need!! 😭🙏
But you're right; it's just that, when I think of the outcome of the story like "How could we actually make the relationship work," I kind of get lost and I fear it'll just be false hope in a way. I am very curious to see how the story will unfold, though, and hope that we will get at least a good ending <3
Oooh ok ok, I see what you mean. That's kind of the whole thing: we (MC) might be fated to die in a way since we have huge links with Colombina; "Our fate are cursed," as she says. We could die from the other members since we know too much or from Harlequin. Except, with how heartbroken Pierrot was (and obviously still is), he WON'T let that happen again, and I fear he's gonna sacrifice himself or something for us... It would just be a tragedy 😭Imagine if Pierrot ends up killing us instead-
But if that is really the case, it would be incredibly sad and kinda weird for it to be the ending... Like how will the story progress if we don't have the MC's perspecive? And that would be such an unsatisfying (final/bad) ending.
Well, he is showing his way of 'love'... Like, it's not like I am sick in the head or something for finding that love; that's the 'romance' in this whole thing. You literally can't say anything because you're on this page as well, and Harlequin is a BIGGER red flag and he's green- Just for your information, I would honestly never find that attractive in real life 😭
Thanks for still telling me he's a red flag I guess
I agree, "after all, it's a game". Did Pierrot really harassed us? We simply helped him, which made him get interested in us, and he's showing his 'love' in his own ways: inviting us to see his performance, visiting us in our work and home, etc. These stories only work because the reader has already given full consent by reading the story. Of course, we all know that in real life, it would not be as good.
Look, if you do not like it, you do not need to continue supporting it or whatever. It's okay to not like something, and I do not mean this in any harm: if you simply don't like it, you are free to continue on with your life. There are numerous other games/stories out there that could be more 'scary,' and "falling in love with your stalker/kidnapper" has been a trope for centuries (e.g. Beauty and the Beast); it ties with Stockholm Syndrome and bad boy "I can fix him". I've seen stories that were way more toxic and abusive using this trope (did not enjoy them tbh) and really love the dynamic of Pierrot's character. This is actually well written, whether you agree or not.
Haha yes!! If you don't eat anything and accept to see Pierrot the next day (DAY 1), then follow Harlequin, and tell Pierrot to leave you alone when he comes to your room, Harlequin will come instead and there is an option to hug him.
I was so shocked like, how is that an option 😭(it's not bad, but really wasn't expecting it.
REAALLL!! Everything is so thought-out and it's just amazing! ❤❤
Hmm... I thought that Pierrot said he knows everything about us (MC) because he stalks us? But that could be a very good interpretation as well!
Omg, but that's what I was thinking too!! Harlequin seems to have a sort of façade in order to protect himself... but from what?! (Low-key, that scene made me think of Jax and Pomni, I don't know how to explain-)
And I don't even wanna dive into Colombina's lore; there are too many questions!! 😭😍 It always makes me happy to see other fellow fans theorising and stuff <3
AHHH I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS STORY SO MUUUCCHH!!!! 😭😭😭❤❤❤❤
I was patiently waiting for an update, and once it came, RRRAAAAAAAA I ATE IT ALLLL. I went through like every piece of dialogue and clues I could find like Pierrot's bells and him following us when we went to the circus (hehe my baby's so cute watching us from afar during the black tent scene <3), and even how Harlequin does too!
Jester and Doctor's designs are so good, and I love how instead of taking the role of Columbine (a soubrette), it's more inspired by the literal meaning of her name and the significance that goes with it: 'little dove' (so we've got wings, peace, love, loyalty... An angel ₊˚⊹♡).
I went CRAAZZYY with the LORE (and my passionate, precious, perfect Pierrot~), making theories like it's a full time job, and I have SO MANY questions; I KNOW Ticket Taker has something deeper bro 😭🙏 Oh- maybe I know too much...
I would love to share but I don't know where :(
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH NEKOOO ❤o(≧∀≦)o❤
"GUYS NO WE'RE SOMETHING NEW HE LOVES US 😭🙏" I say as I get dragged into the pink tent.
Like, I don't think we are a reincarnation of Colombina herself but more of something like her. We are nice and sweet towards Pierrot, which made him fall for us AS WELL as Colombina so like...
Things are connected but not necessarily in a way, does that make sense?
Wait, I thought the show was just a retelling of what happened wih Colombina, Pierrot and Harlequin, but in a more 'theatrical way' (just like Harlequin did with his puppet show). Because I'm pretty sure Colombina is a 'monster' too, like she's "one of them" 😭
I could be mistaken but I also really like that detail <3
