If I were MC, I would've just skipped all the pages of the previous housemaid to see the last entry (it has to have something, ANYTHING of info...)

Also, are the siblings seriously that lazy to (in the hypothetical case of them having murdered her <3) not clean the evidences? Even with a wild detective in search of his sister...?

... Sus.

No but really, I highly doubt they're that useless without a maid. They're such huge weirdos, then.

The last pages of the diary have been torn out, so the last entry is just Bertha ranting about how annoying cleaning the chimney is :>

Will we meet Mrs Fletcher again?

You just might :p she’s not a major character in this story, but I had too much fun writing her to not make her show up again.

I really like that you can play as an MC who is cheerful and caring, but still distrustful and calculated. Like, my heart is truly open to the idea that this all baseless rumors spawned from a big misunderstanding, but I'm also not trying to get myself killed giving the benefit of the doubt to a bunch of rich people, you know?

yess!! I feel like it’s boring when you only have options to play things as either this or that.

MC that is caring and cheerful but still weary of what’s going on around them is hopefully going to have some interesting results 😁

Also an MC that is cold and distant but is an immediate ride or die for the siblings I think is a fun mixed take.

I’m currently writing H’s pov for my patreon subscribers (the scene in chapter 1 where they catch MC roaming around at night) and I wanted to let everyone know Clarence the cook always leaves some food leftover in the kitchen for them to grab at night. And H is very grateful for this.

i wish S would make a classic maid uniform for my tiny but stronk male mc.... it brings me so much joy to imagine him running around everywhere huffing and puffing; cleaning up bloodpools while muttering under his breath, headpiece askew...

Aww anon that is adorable. I don’t plan to make dresses available for men and suits available for women just yet, but I think when MC will have more confidence w the ROs, they might have an option to ask for it, and the ROs will let them wear that as long as it’s not when visitors are coming over.

A MC who'd be like:

(sees stain of blood) “UGH please stop staining fabrics! Now I have to wash them with my hands 'cause some of you, couldn't be a little bit more careful with your surroundings!”

All the siblings staring at the floor looking very dejected. “We’re sorry MC” they state in unison.

MC coming from a small village where everyone knows everyone. Where everyone looks out for one another and helps each other. MC was feeling out of place in London, it's big and people are rude, but now they're in the country side and the siblings and any other employees are their village. OF COURSE they're going to protect them, it feels like home.

Just thoughts in my brain when I'm sleepy and weepy 😭

Anon owww 🥹🥹 i love this view and your take on your MC. Really adore this.

blackwood manor: cleaning simulator where we can clean and interact with cute employers .

there’s some kind of a red substance on the floor??? could be paint, ketchup, blood,,,,,,, but who knows????👀👀

Blackwood Manor as a cleaning simulator is all I can think abt whenever I write a scene of MC holding a duster. I’ll be like “heck yeah the cleaning lovers readers are going to go CRAZY over this” 😭

About the anon talking about the concept of MC's mother having fits of hysteria and what not, and your answer to that.

If you decide to use that idea, would you consider making it optional? I've read so many IFs with a MC who has or had a mother with that sort of issues, and I never liked the trope. It works for some stories, but usually it feels offputting and like... "not necessary" to me.

I just want a story where MC has a dead parent with whom they had a peaceful and nice relationship till the end, with no hostility and violence and other stuff like that.

ohh I didn't know that was a popular trope in IF. I was mainly joking about taking anon's idea, because i'd rather leave things up to reader imagination, at least for now. The only thing set in stone is that MC had a good relationship with their mother and misses her very much.

[ang3lwithapen]

OMGGG can we talk abt how cute S is???? 😭💘

I wanna give em all my love 😳

yesss we can and should talk about S i love theM

[ang3lwithapen]

I just happened to stumble across your story, and can so say that, as a Victorian Era and Gothic Literature geek, I am in love with the story, writing, and characters. Not only does the setting fit the theme perfectly, but the characters fall in perfectly - like a gorgeous puzzle, awaiting completion.

You don’t need to answer this ask, but it was randomly inspired by the interaction between S and the MC in his workshop with some of the responses.

How would the ROs react to an MC who never asks for anything/can’t accept gifts, but is always giving their best time and effort into anything they do/give/say?

oh my, thank you so much. I’m also a big fan of gothic/victorian settings, I’m a huge fan of Bloodborne for example ehe, and wanted to work with something along those lines aesthetically speaking.

ROs would really appreciate an MC like that, and probably be quicker at growing more attached to them, although I can’t say there wouldn’t be a risk of the ROs eventually taking them a bit for granted.

congrats on graduating!!!! 🧡🧡🧡 and thank you for the update, it was so good!! 😩🤌🤤🤤

Ayy ty 💜💜

[ang3lwithapen]

So I've been thinking about how my MC could reasonably react to H in an understanding manner without any thought to personal safety, and what I came up with is maybe while MC's Mom was sick, she would go into these fits of hysteria and paranoia, not knowing what's going in or where she was, and acting hostile to everyone, and MC just adapted to that to still care and visit their mother before she died.

So surprise H! MC isn't all that shocked by ur behavior! Get treated like a normal human being nerd

ANON that is so sad and good at the same time……. Omg. What if I shamelessly stole this idea from you..,,,

I've been trying to balance 'showing care and kindness to other people' and 'clearly having some soft spot for these highly suspicious weirdos' and the weird part is????? I've found it??? Like this is all in character and not contrary to my MC at all

How? The hell???

YEAH that makes me so happy. My goal is for people to be able to be as versatile with their MC as possible, I’m glad🙏🏻

I actually encourage readers to let me know if they felt like they didn’t have choices that match with what their MC would do or say.
