Darling Dollhouse Now Has A CuriousCat! Feel Free To Send Questions There As Well If You Like!

Nathan reacting to different yan VN characters pt. 2

With more context and HCs! (And a full body pic of Nathan where he actually looks like a functioning member of society!)

Art of Nate isn't mine, I made it on meiker.io

Robin from Turn the Page VN: "uh huh. so ur telling me this is just a normal librarian. im not buying it, no librarian is ever normal, they've always got something hidden up their sleeve."

-Definitely thinks something's up with Robin, but has no idea what

-Has a smoke on the bench outside the library every Friday, came in on impulse one afternoon because he thought the librarian was hot because it was raining and his apartment's heat didn't work

-Quit smoking a week after knowing Robin, if you asked him why he'd just mumble something about not needing to anymore while trying to hide his blush,, definitely not because he didn't want to disappoint the librarian he'd grown so fond of

-----

Keith and Tenebris from Duality: "so like,, Keith's Jekyll?? WAIT IS THAT AN OFFENSIVE STEREOTYPE OR SMTH I'M SO SORRY"

-Nathan's always constantly touch starved 24/7 so he and Tenebris get along great,, he'd honestly cling to Tenebris like a koala 24/7 if he'd let him

-He likes listening to Keith talk about plants even though he has no idea what he's talking about lol

-Regardless of which one he wakes up beside they receive a sleepy kiss on their forehead and a "g'mornin..."

-----

Lowell from Darling Dollhouse VN: "wait so. you think that im attractive enough to even qualify as a doll???"

-Doesn't mind hanging out in the attic one bit

-The nicotine withdrawals start hitting at like day 3 but he tries not to snap at Lowell too much, would probably just try to avoid him until the worst of it has passed,, try being the key word lol

-He lowkey hates being dressed up like a doll, but he gets free food and a cute boyfriend so he doesn't complain. Besides he's never seen himself in makeup before and he couldn't lie, he didn't even hate what he saw. Lowell's got some great makeup skills.

-----

Theo from Bared Teeth VN: "bro,, i think Riese is,, *lowers voice* a Twilight fan"

-Genuinely doesn't think there's anything weird about Riese. He's just a goth guy that's super into vampires, he can't judge

-Still, he sticks to Theo's side whenever he can, he's known Theo for longer so he trusts them more

-Probably snuck into Theo's room that first night at Riese's place and asked to share the bed since he couldn't sleep

------

Friend from See Thru: Need a Friend: "dawg you stuck with me through my edgy phase in high school. there's literally no one else i could even see myself liking"

-He really likes Friend.

-Having someone that's known him since they were kids and supports him no matter what? He's weak in the knees

-But also despite how long he's known Friend he still gets flustered at how clingy and touch starved he is,, but most definitely reciprocates all the hugs and touches, trying to hide how blushy it makes him

------

Yeah that's it 💀 I'll probably do this again, this is fun

I can safely say I am sending Lowell all of the love and affection w/in my body, he deserves the world uwu.

Lowell soaking up all this affection and not knowing what to do with it like

Helloo, hope your doing well😄😄 could we have more lore about Lowell, pretty please 🥹 i feel like it’s been a while since hearing from the blog (ofc if not then i still hope you have a great day😁😁)

You sure can !! I miss my og blorbo and I'm always so happy to get a chance to talk about lore!

Lowell went to culinary school but ended up having to drop out in the last couple of months due to medical and financial complications- he hates his current job and believes he is overqualified and deserves to work in a much more elevated environment

He has a younger sister that he's kept tabs on over the years, but he hasn't had contact with his family in a long time.

Lowell learned to sew from his mother, who was a seamstress while he was growing up in Massachusetts.

His very first ever collection was frog statues, the kind you'd find in a garden store. They all had names, personalities, and intricate backstories. He kept notes on them in a Lisa Frank notebook, and would rearrange their positions in his room frequently.

He's not a natural redhead!

Lowell was a smoker for a very long time, and while he no longer chainsmokes, he'll still light up a cigarette if he's particularly exhausted, stressed, or needs a little treat.

He can't swim :(

He has pretty poor wound healing, and he scars and bruises really easily.

He met you first through your job! MC will have a position in an art store and he saw you while looking for a specialty fabric dye.

He has killed people before.

Lowell would love a wax museum date!

He's already got all your measurements :) it won't stop him from taking them again when he gets you alone though. He finds it kind of romantic!

He will get mad if you touch/break a lot of his stuff- he's very protective of his collections and has object hyperempathy. it can be genuinely painful to him when things break, go missing, or are touched/displayed "wrong".

His favorite food is soup.

On top of being an insomniac he doesn't really like sleeping in beds- when he sleeps it's usually on the couch or floor or something.

His favorite thing to knit is shawls! He does some pretty interesting things with them, sometimes with intricate lace, beading, colorwork, or other details.

He has a secret petplay kink (recieving). He would deny it to the ends of the earth but being called kitten gives him an instant boner. Extremely unlikely to allow himself to actually submit but he MIGHT be a mean kitty dom, if you convince him hard enough :3c he'd be on high alert to make sure he doesn't end up in subspace though.

He had an intense scene phase. Full on raccoon stripes, under eye liner, hot topic cash carrying, get scared listening ass emo. Still has his well loved busted up ipod nano from when he initially got really into the subculture.

His first crush was on Brent Spiner. Quickly followed by Tilda Swinton.

Has a washi tape collection but has never actually used any of the tape.

He owns a pair of The Chanel Boots™️

Hopefully this is enough to keep yall fed a moment ;-; sorry this project has taken a lapse BUT I'm putting together something to introduce the five whole other characters that will be included in this game, and my schedule just got cleared for a few more days a week so hopefully I'll have some more stuff for you guys soon!

Sending you powerful and supportive vibes btw

I am soaking up the vibes I am thriving in them I am fed thank you nonnie

Oh nooooooo, i'm weak for goth mascs 😩 c'mere, Wither, i gotta smooch ya mwah mwah

heheh have fun he tastes. Strange. like moss and rainwater and bruised pine needles c:

When is Lowell's birthday? And what holidays does he celebrate? :3c

Lowell's birthday is June 10th! He doesn't really have a set age in the game, just approximately the age of the player, and he sort of lost count of his age anyhow- he doesn't celebrate his birthday, so he hasn't bothered to keep track, and he'd have to do some mental math if you asked him.

Lowell has a- complicated relationship with most holidays. Because he's a commercial baker, he ends up doing a lot of the kitschy baked goods for various holidays en mass, and he has to work a lot of overtime. He likes the idea of celebrating Valentines day the most, though, and decorating those cakes and pastries is his favorite.

He does personally celebrate Halloween (different frog costume every year), Krampusnacht, and Walpurgisnacht!

I can't help but feel curious. If Doll ends up warming up to Lowell, would they be able to coax him into sleeping a bit more often?

You might be able to try to get him to sleep more often but he does have severe clinical insomnia, so you're unlikely to be successful beyond maybe a few extra hours a week, and he'd mostly be laying down just to appease you and snuggle up with him.

If you want to actually get his insomnia under control then you'll need to convince him to regularly go to doctor's appointments and recieve psychiatric care and ongoing therapy and THAT is. Extraordinarily unlikely, sorry bud.

“Hold still, Doll! Be nice and good for me and I’ll wrap you up reeeal pretty ~ ❤ “

Whomst is this green haired stink man? :3c

Green haired stinky is the love interest I'm working on to (hopefully) pop out a quick demo for the yandere game jam!

His name is Wither, and you meet him in your university's library! He is very literally kinda smelly (smells like wet dirt) and he makes strange creaking noises when he moves. He likes poetry and knows a lot about plants. He's not exactly nervous or shy, but he isn't GREAT at human interaction either- comes across pretty strange most of the time. He sure likes you, though!

Me and my dissociative issues that make me feel like I’m not real during episodes knowing damn well that’s one of the worst possible things to wind up there with: haha but he’s so pretty 0u0

My dissociative ass with an objectification/dollification kink making this visual novel: 🤝🤝🤝
