I have a lot of questions so feel free to skip this one ^^
How does Lowell treat the MC in the beginning of the game, exactly? You said he treats them like a doll, but I'm p curious, how far does that go? Does he still think/know they're human? Does he let them sleep and go to the bathroom and stuff? I'm just curious about the small details aha,, and would the MC get fed outside of tea parties? How much freedom would they have in general?
Ok that's all thank you for reading <3 I can't wait for this game to come out
These are great questions that I'm more than happy to answer!
Lowell does understand that you're human and alive, in fact that's part of what makes you so exciting as a collectors piece for him- you're able to react and essentially 'play' with him, and he likes exerting his control over another living being, especially since for so much of his life he's felt so powerless.
You're perfectly able to sleep and the attic he keeps you in does have a small half bathroom that you're able to use, as well as a wash basin. There will be times he specifically binds or otherwise restricts the movement of the player if they're particularly obstinate, but is still responsive to their functional needs.
You also have access to food pretty much 24/7- if Lowell has to leave you for any reason, he'll make sure snacks and meals are left in a place you can access them, as well as water. He also has a small electric kettle, and if you're behaving well enough, he'll set up a little coffee/tea/cocoa station in the attic for you (ideally, he'd like to keep this in here all the time, but a captive person with boiling water at their disposal requires a bare minimum of trust that you aren't gonna try and hurt him with it).
All that being said, your freedom is still extremely limited. For the first portion of the game after you've been taken, the only part of Lowell's house that you'll see is the attic. You'll have to either earn some trust or REALLY fuck up to see any other part of the house. He doesn't intend to let you leave essentially ever again- the most he's willing to let you go is to his greenhouse/garden in the fully fenced backyard.
Playing the game as a romance or a friendship, you'll eventually have access to most of the house, including his bedroom. Playing the game as a horror, particularly if you fight him at every turn and figured out how to get him to actively dislike you, you'll have the opportunity to try to escape- yay! But if you mess that up, you're going to have essentially the Worst outcome for your freedom, which, barring any spoilers, does involve essentially losing all of your free will. This is actually the route in which Lowell sees you the least as a living being and the most as essentially a life sized doll.
I'm so pleased that you're interested in Darling Dollhouse and I hope this helped clear some things up!
Understand my ship meme for Lowell when?
right now uwu
Stares at Lowell
Ahem, I have v much have shark teeth, how would Lowell be with an MC who will in fact bite him every chance they get and they have super sharp teeth
Bonus for biting stims bc biting stim is me
He is very biteable! Plush and cushy good on the teeth. Go nuts and bite as hard as you like he can take it :o) leave some cool scars and he'd be over the moon
comission me so that I can eat! And also! Maybe afford spring sale ouiouis.....
I don't think I've posted this yet, a little drabble for @darlingdollhousevn ! It's very short, but I just wanted to write something fluffy and cute for Lowell based off an ask I sent a while ago <3
----------------------------
"Stay still, Doll~"
You tried not to squirm, suppressing a giggle as the ticklish feeling of the makeup brush swept across your cheeks. You'd been doing pretty well to stay still until now, but the urge to fidget was getting stronger and stronger.
Luckily that was the end of it, as Lowell sprayed some setting spray across your face you couldn't help but be relieved. If you'd had to sit still any longer you'd have went crazy for sure!
"And done!" Lowell held up a handheld mirror for you to look at yourself. "Waddya think?~"
You took the mirror, inspecting your makeup with a smile. "Hmm... I like it!" You said with a nod. "I've never tried a full face of makeup like this. It's interesting to see!" You batted your eyes to get a better look at the eyeshadow. "Ooh, the eyeshadow is super pretty!"
"Right?!" Lowell exclaimed excitedly. "That's my favorite part!" He seemed pleased at your praise, beaming as he took the mirror from you.
"So?" You asked expectantly, looking at him with a smile. "Don't I get a reward for sitting still so long?"
Lowell chuckled. "Of course!" He opened his arms wide, scooping you into a hug, being careful not to mess up the makeup he'd just applied.
You squeaked, laughing as you looped your arms around his neck as he spun you around a couple of times before sitting down with you in his lap.
You carefully rested your cheek against his chest, hearing his heartbeat.
The words bubbled out, threatening to spill, but you held them back.
Not yet.
It'd never been easy for you to talk about your feelings, and yet the more time you spent with Lowell, the man who'd kidnapped you, the harder it became for you to not tell him how you felt.
After all, what would it say about you if you told your kidnapper you'd fallen in love with him?
So, even if you knew how you felt, you'd deny it for as long as possible.
I think!! I think he very pretty!!! I wanna be pretty for him and with him!!!!!!
Prettiest duo around 💅💅💅
HE LIKES FROGS??? AAAAAA SO CUTE I LOVE FROGS TOOO
Yeah frogs are one of his special interests :3
Lowell is so creepy and cute i just *kisses him kisses him kis-*
go right ahead, he certainly doesn't seem to mind!
Popping this here too here's another stink man for yall :3c
Might fuck around and join yanjam
Eepy ask cuz I'm eepy UwU if MC had super bad insomnia as well, and took sleeping medication for it (like melatonin + trazedone), and offered some to Lowell wanting to help with his insomnia would he take it?
Also if MC liked to nap during the day would Lowell be willing to snuggle with them while they nap (not necessarily having to nap with them tho)? :3
probably not! on top of being unable to sleep, Lowell also doesn't really want to sleep, and when he does, he has terrible dreams. Historically sleeping medication has made that worse for him. He also has an impaired digestion so he metabolizes and reacts to medications strangely- only a few sleeping meds will actually knock him out.
A psychiatrist may be able to balance his meds correctly if you... somehow convinced him to go to one, but it's a losing battle. At most if you were really wheedling him to try and sleep you might be able to convince him to drink a chamomile tea.
He's always willing to snuggle though :3
Can I bite Lowell? (Said with adhd rizz and biting is my love language.)
he is so fucking biteable tempted to make him produce a canon squeaky toy noise just for u ❤️
I think he would look nice with bite marks on him! he has very pale pretty skin that is nice and soft and plump!
