i alas *don't* know Umineko but i might do a quick google search haha. either ways i am SO down to maruki just...struggling while already being a shitty therapist LMFAO

[discolouredwings]

Welp, googling the series will give you many a spoiler.

The non-spoilerly cliff notes
-chronically ill housewife
-As a teen her family got in debt. Guy who put them in debt told them they could pay back him back by giving him her cause he was looking for a wife for his son
-So she got pulled from school for that
-The son in question
- The sister in law
-She's been married into this for 30 years ....
-AND THAT'S WITHOUT THE SPOILERS

OKAY sorry i made a new post here cause there were some issues with the previous one with expanded warnings!!

also OH YIKES THERE'S A LOT GOING ON THERE we will see if maruki's "I can fix her" attitude does some wonders lol

[discolouredwings]

Ah, sorry. Not bothered about her getting actual therapy in game because uhhhh, she'd not respond to it. And it's kinda 18 years too late. So no worries there. The joke between me and Mega was just 'Maruki sees this mess and decides he's not cut out for this shit' lmao.

Though I'd appreciate it if he maybe helped her with driving. Because she has no idea.

[takutomaruki]

maruki is so funny to me as an inexperienced counsellor lol so he just hears her out and then...takes a breather or smth lmfao. i just figured i should clarify on my end mwehehe

and yes totally !! we can totally look at a potential interaction like that :3 gentle teaching...mental health exercises to combat anxiety all that jazz

[discolouredwings]

No worries. I have something similar (or need to add it) to my permissions. With Natsuhi's chronic migraines I've gotten characters trying to 'cure' her by offering advice and stuff. Issue is she's 47, she's heard it before and tried a lot of things, so icly it's annoying. Oocly it awkward because not much detail is given.

Lmao saw someone describe Natsuhi as a nervous prey animal, ready to shank first in self defense. It's NOT inaccurate. So.. Gambatte Maruki.....

What is this metal health you speak of? She's from the 80s

[takutomaruki]

OH OH i have a little hc that maruki has chronic migraines too-! Mostly because his loving "persona" tends to be a loudmouth and since his whole awakening got kinda screwed midway through- I could imagine he once again has to deal with it. Azathoth d e m a n d s dreams hehe

METAL health. oh man it sure is metal XD tho i think maruki would be very excited to info dump and talk about this funky little topic. i remember him trying to explain it to a pirate from the 1800s...it was beautiful

[discolouredwings]

Natsuhi's are brought up in canon frequently and she takes a ton of unknown meds for them. Normally, to bully her with 'oh you're not feeling well, pull yourself together. Get over it. '
They're a combo of
-genetics, her mom had them
-stress
-trauma

Then magical bullshit adds, invisible witch following her and smacking her in the back of the head and.... contact with ancient demon/god because preists and the headaches are her price

It's wild to think about how much mental health care has changed. Even in just the last 20 years...haha ;-;

[takutomaruki]

GOTTA LOVE STRESS AND TRAUMA. see guys, this is what Maruki wishes to cure- just give him a chance nothing will ever go wrong (do not trust this man)

but the whole ancient demon god aspect sounds really interesting. veryyy persona core. either ways i would love to see where we can take our characters hehe

[discolouredwings]

Natsuhi agrees with his method oops, there is a reason I'm leaning kitsune with illusion magic I mean what

It's never mentioned in the main game, just a thing that pops up on the last page of a side story. And it's so 'EXCUSE ME, HOLD UP, CAN WE GO BACK TO THIS?'

This is going to be a mess

tw: angelic eyes all over

[takutomaruki]

OH OH a kitsune gimme!! omg i was actually thinking of that being Maruki's like third preference but I wasn't too sure!! he's less of a trickster in the sense of his character but its *very* close. I am still clinging to the Angel though like-

but hey join the "i am delusional and reject my reality" gang. we got snacks!! and a filthy amounts of apple juice!!

Like this is it.

[discolouredwings]

Celestal is Natsuhi's second choice because 'paragon of justice. I'm right, you're wrong' and multiple wings because the family crest that she's not allowed to wear is a wing.

[takutomaruki]

might boop her soon then :3
