i dont understand why some certain people dislike the lana lore. i personally ADORE IT, its the reason i even got invested into dti in the first place, i litetally played the game to look at all the lore tidbits and then decided to actually play the game and it was fun and here i am today. like i get for people who dont like scary shit and just wanna play a silly dress up game. thats fine, but the lana lore is VERY easily overlookable, its not like every second more lore is being thrown in your face. and yeah it might take away SLIGHTLY from the devs working on the actual game but im sure gigi has a whole diff team working on the lana lore so, and the lana lore gives you chances to get exclusive really tasty items (i still love that bird) so theirs no real reason to dislike it, it brings a whole new and bigger community and bigger community meaning more money and more money meaning better quality shit for dti so also lina and agamemnon let me hit one chance please

Dti lore:

In Lina's song she sang about "a goddess who was immortal against the jealousy of a warrior" and fun fact in greek history the guy who led the Trojan war was agamemnon.

Now here's what I think in dti lore.

Agamemnon is selfish. He used to be a warrior and everyone worked for a Goddess whose is someone we have no clue what the name is. But, he wanted to be a God too. He wanted power and this "judgment day" he couldn't be a god so he got very angry and when Lina sings "wanted to make himself a god but now he's locked away" we see a guy with hair to his shoulders. In the new winter quest we see a guy who looks similar to that glass stained window. He's a GREEK male from the place around it and judging by the toga he wears we assume it's not modern Greece.

And we see him telling this girl who looks like Lana to be safe. I think it could be her descendant not her. And maybe when she tells him "good bye o" she's probably talking to not agamemnon but orestes. Who in Greek history is Agamemnons son. It seems like the girl is leaving In a ship to run away from something and it ends.

Maybe the goddess in the song is Eris the god of chaos and discord because she caused the Trojan war with a golden apple if of discord.

Also in mythology Eris initiated a quarrel between Hera,Athena, and Aphrodite. Which led to the judgment of Paris and ultimately the Trojan war.

yo. did you know the game, Dress to Impress on Roblox, has lore?

EDIT: THIS AGAMEMNON DESIGN IS OUTDATED. I MADE A NEW ONE

the gist of it is that Lana, the lady who does your nails in the game, was fed up with being mistreated, and sought to seek revenge on the developers on the game; for a roblox game, it's some fun stuff

one of the characters introduced in the lore is this fella, Agamemnon, who i love a lot, and roblox avatars leave plenty to the imagination, which led me to put my own spin on him, as you can see here

ramble + sketches below

1st sketch is of the more canon-compliant Agamemnon, while the 2nd is extra stuff i did while drawing my version of him

in canon, before he made his appearance, Agamemnon was a mysterious figure who was helping Lana - the main character of this lore - and was someone she trusted a lot, but it was pretty obvious he was the one leading her down a bad path.

imo, him not showing his face at all and us only hearing from him through Lana or through notes and never through his actual words made him a LOT more intimidating, so when he actually showed, the feel of his menace died down a bit. this isn't meant to be a diss or criticism against the people behind this lore, and neither is it a "better redesign" btw, tis just my own interpretation with what we know from the lore added into it

for my version, i designed to lean into something less human, because i firmly believe Agamemnon is not human at all -- it's somewhat implied he consumes human meat and has some magic influence, given that he was able to influence Lana's dreams -- and i gave him an extra pair of arms, since he's called the "butterfly" and those fellas got six limbs

in this version, i imagine him to be more serious and quiet - often gazing silently across the red palace, upon all the Patrons (us, the players), with eyes full of knowing. and it is frightening - and when he does speak, it is with authority and sureness that you will follow his commands

and if you're curious to see how he actually looks like in roblox:

some dti doodles i did recently. not so much but sigh, school is school

bonus traditional art nelly !!!

[horrorlesbion]

its very funny to me when people start handwringing about the dress to impress horror subplot/game like "what if the children playing just stumble on it" girl its a roblox game the children are the ones who made this. the children yearn for squiggly slenderman full of eyes and putting people in basement cages

Dress to Impress Lana Lore: Why her?

Post Date: 1 November 2024

special thanks to youtuber callmehhaley for her video "SECRETS In The LANA LORE QUEST & Breakdown! *STORY EXPLAINED?* | Dress To Impress Halloween Update"

also thank you to youtuber izzzyzzz for her video "The Dress To Impress Horror ARG Explained"

For my thoughts on Nurse Julie from the Halloween Update, feel free to visit TopfSecret's Lana Lore Tag!

Why Did Agamemnon Choose Lana?

At first, it's easy to say that Agamemnon symbolizes the predatory people in the fashion industry. The early Lana lore cements this interpretation. Agamemnon's minions exploited Lana's sickness, roping her into a job so she can pay her medical bills, before trapping her in the whole Awakening business.

But the Halloween Update reveal that Agamemnon may have caused Lana's illness in the first place is... wild. It doesn't undo the above interpretation, especially with the shadowy cult stuff. But why Lana? Why not take someone who's already got a terminal illness? There's plenty of desperate people to take advantage of in this age of capitalism.

The song "Temptation" may have the answers. It's reaching a little bit, but please bear with me!

Let me tell you a story of betrayal Between two people unalike There was a goddess, who was immortal against a jealousy of a warrior and when the time came for a judgement There were more wrongs than a right There was no solace, no immunity banished from who he used to be

So, there's precedent in greek mythology of mortals being punished for wanting to surpass/being better than the gods, for example Arachne - being turned into a spider for defeating Athena in a weaving contest. There's also precedent of mortals being punished for cheating death (wanting immortality), as in the case of Sisyphus - doomed to push a boulder up a hill for eternity because he trapped Thanatos (personification of death) and prevented him from taking Sisyphus' soul.

So it's not a stretch to say that Agamemnon isn't a new figure. I can't say if he's literally mythological Agamemnon, but he could be? From wikipedia: "Agamemnon has slain an animal sacred to Artemis, and subsequently boasts that he is her equal in hunting."

ummm... yeah. That's punishment material, babey. A warrior (well, hunter) of sorts being jealous of Artemis' immortality... makes sense, but not quite.

Regardless, in my opinion, DTI Agamemnon is old enough to have been jealous of a goddess' immortality, trying to get it, and then being punished for it. I'm guessing his punishment is being denied a physical form, doomed to be a ghost forever (since he wants immortality so much). My rationale: he's seen as hallucinations and dark shadows in the Halloween Update, which is probably the earliest chronologically (since it talks about Lana's leaving her house and her hospital days).

He only got a physical form after sacrificing multiple souls (seen in the earlier updates), such as the Fortress Security Footage #1. It's not his "ultimate" form, though, which is why he keeps trying to get more sacrifices.

For the temptation in his heart His life was doomed right from the start He wanted more than what he got But it was locked away

Well, duh. Immortality is locked away from mortals for a reason. If his life is "doomed from the start", it could be that DTI Agamemnon is based on (or is actually) mythological Agamemnon, where his entire family has been doomed due to the actions of his ancestor, Tantalus.

Obsessed with immortality He wanted to live eternally Wanted to make himself a God and now he's locked away

This explains itself. He may have been locked away by the goddess that he was jealous of back in the first verse.

So he planned to sneak into the palace and consume what wasn't his he thought you made it, with all his malice but he was caught in carelessness

"Sneak into the palace" could have not been literal, because I have no idea what the literal equivalent is. However, a palace and a fortress can be equated in some way - which may mean that he's creating The Fortress to consume what wasn't his (souls of the innocent).

How about "He thought you made it, with all his malice, but he was caught in carelessness."?

Well.

This is where my speculation goes to an unhinged place.

Ready? Of course you are.

So: I think Lana may have been related to whoever goddess punished Agamemnon in the first place. Whether she's the goddess' descendant, or a reincarnation, or simply an unlucky mortal chosen for a quest, Lana Dress to Impress may have divine purpose.

That's why Agamemnon chose Lana as his main collaborator/pawn instead of other terminally ill young women (or others whom he thinks is easily exploited). He wanted to get revenge on the goddess that punished him in the first place, so he took it out on Lana.

I think "he thought you made it, with all his malice" means that Agamemnon has the impression that Lana made it (the Fortress) for him.

"But he was caught in carelessness" because he assumed wrong. In truth, Lana made the whole thing to stop him - at least at first, before he started influencing her. In the previous updates, we see that Lana made the whole Saudade/Coterie thing to stop the Awakening. It could've been a prophecy, or something driven inside her because of her divine heritage. Her obsession with ancient Greek mythology could be explained by her unknowingly reaching for her birthright/quest hints/etc.. (Although, that goddess would not be Artemis, I think.)

I think Lana made all that stuff to stop him and the Awakening as soon as she left the hospital. She thought she was free! She wants to, has to, fight back against him!

But of course, Agamemnon is still stalking her, waiting until the right time to influence her again, to make her work for him instead.

now the time came for a judgement and he pleaded for his life he would be banished, and stay immortal if only he sacrificed a few souls

The problem is, I still don't really know how these lines fit. "Stay immortal if only he sacrificed a few souls" wouldn't make sense if the gods didn't want him to be immortal as more than an incorporeal shadow/hallucination.

Maybe he knew, somehow, that he had to sacrifice a few souls to become immortal (not only tangible, but also having an Ultimate Form through the Awakening)? Did he know that innately? Or did someone else, a greater force, tell him? I really don't know. We probably need more information.

If you're a bigger Greek mythology nerd than we are (which is probably the case - do let us know if I missed some important part of the Agamemnon mythological lore.)

Thank you all so much for reading!
