I don't remember who it was, but someone had an idea of Quentin being the guardian of Aaron after the events of "you know what".

(I'm going to bed now)

A few Quentin/ Norman Darby sketches I still have no idea how this website works A bit random, but I'm currently working on a project that attempts to make HN2 more story based, if that makes sense. Something me and a lot of other HN fans agree on is that HN2 didn't reach its full potential in terms of story. I played Sally Face recently and had a thought- "What if Hello Neighbor 2 was a 2D point and click story game?" I've already made a ton of concepts and written ideas for the story as well as mechanics. I'm hoping to make the game on Unity, since that seems to be the go- to engine for games like these. I have zero experience with game development and haven't even downloaded Unity yet, but I really wanna start soon. I've half- finished a walking animation for Quentin but still need to make an Idle animation. No stress or deadlines on this project whatsoever, it's just a fun idea I had, but I really am hoping to actually develop it eventually. I might share concept art sometime.

I wonder 🤔💭 what they're looking for in there?

I saw in a YouTube video, and on a few comments thanks to a couple of people on Tumblr that Nicky was originally supposed to be Theodore's son. Let me just write a storyline on how that would play out.

So Ted and Luanne were married before Ted and Diane, and Luanne used to be his housewife. Soon after they got married and had XXX, Luanne gave birth to Nicky and that's when Nicky was first known as Nicholas Michael Peterson.

Things started out okay. Ted really loved Nicky. He held him in his buff arms, and sang him a lullaby, the same lullaby that he did in Waking Nightmares. Tom, Tom, the Piper's son. Nicky even liked that booming laugh Ted had, whenever he laughed, the baby laughed too. Nicky made Ted so happy.

But things slowly got rocky.

Ted started becoming more focused on work. Spending more time at work, less time at home, and even less time with his family. Luanne got fed up and the two had a big fight, resulting in a divorce. Luanne got full custody of Nicky, but wouldn't allow Ted to see him.

After the divorce, Ted developed depression and anger issues. A year later, he met Diane and was happy to find out that she was recently divorced and already had two kids, Aaron and Mya. However, Ted never told her about his past family.

But even after he married her, that woman and those children kept reminding him of what he lost. He missed Luanne and Nicky, but he still loved Diane and her kids though, they filled in his empty heart, just not completely.

One day, he tracked Luanne down, and was absolutely furious when he found out that she married some other man named James (Jay) Roth. He went to their house, kidnapped Nicky, and drove off, trying to make it back to his house. Unfortunately, his car got hit by a street lamp.

In his coma, he had an encounter with a demon (The Guest) who said that his baby was dying because the street lamp hit him. He begged the demon not to let him die, to save him. The demon agreed, but with a heavy price. Nicky would have no memory of him. Ted agreed, and fell deeper into depression. But hey, at least the baby lived.

Years passed, and the Roths now live across the street from the Petersons. When Aaron first brought Nicky over, Ted nearly fainted upon hearing his name. Ted wanted nothing more than to just lift him up in his arms and hug him, but he remembered the deal he had with the demon and how Nicky has absolutely no memory of him. Ted also hated when Nicky called him Mr. Peterson.

Also, part of the reason why Luanne didn't want to invite the Petersons over for dinner was because she knew Ted and didn't want Nicky to find out he was his real father.

Anyways, fast forward through all the canon stuff. Diane dies, Mya falls off the roof, Ted locks Aaron in the basement, Nicky spies on Mr. Peterson to try and save him, and ends up getting kidnapped by Ted.

Ted is overjoyed to finally have his son back, and does everything to try to help him remember. Showing him pictures, and singing him that creepy lullaby he always liked, trying to make him call him dad, but all that did was make Nicky more scared. Every time Nicky tried escaping, Ted felt guilty every time he had to hurt him or drug him.

And while this was going on, Luanne was currently having panic attacks and mental breakdowns, thinking about how Ted could've been the one that kidnapped him, since he was her ex-husband.

After Nicky escapes, Luanne doesn't even need to ask where he's been the past 2 months. She felt like she already knew. And boy she was so close to killing Mr. Peterson.

Fast forward years later, Nicky is all grown up. After Act 3, Nicky eventually finds out on his mother's death bed that Jay wasn't his real father. He suddenly remembers all the things that Ted did to him as a baby. All of the cradling, singing, and hugs. He now understands why Ted was trying so hard to make him remember all of that, he was his real father.

He finds out that Ted is still alive, but in prison. He pays his bail, and tells him everything his mother told him. They have a small family reunion, and Nicky's first thought is to find Aaron and tell him about all of this. Ted is hesitant at first, but then he realizes that Aaron has a right to know.

He tracks Aaron down, and they learn that he's been staying with Quentin Gershowitz back in Germany. As soon as they find Aaron, Nicky explains everything to him. Aaron's reluctant to accept it at first, considering Ted never told him about any of this, but eventually forgives Ted since he realized his best friend was also his stepbrother.

They all live together happily ever after.

(Sorry if this is a shitty storyline, I just came up with all of this off the top of my head.)

Just finished Bad Blood and...

Well, it's definitely a book.

It's not bad—but I won't lie and say it was a masterpiece or something.

How do I put this...

When I was reading, I felt like there was an overarching plot here, something that would make sense and build up eventually.

The problem is... I didn't really feel like caring about it.

Like, the majority of the book is Aaron and the Petersons dancing around two things: Theodore's parents and the incident in Germany (something we know from Missing Pieces, and the reason why they are constantly moving from place to place).

The Peterson family are treated like aliens early in Raven Brooks (nothing you don't know). Aaron tries really hard to "cleanse" his family's name from whatever his grandparents did that left a scar that's still discussed in hushed tones in Raven Brooks.

The problem starts when a lot of chapters exist to say the same thing the previous one did: "Oh, Aaron's grandparents are related to something from way back then. Hm, what could it be?"

There are good things. It definitely expands the Peterson family much better than before. From Nicky's perspective, we were unfolding deeper layers of a complicated family. Now with Aaron, we're unfolding from inside out. Some of the previous cast returns and Lucy actually talks, wow!

I thought the rich family plot was as interesting as it could get, all things considered. It felt appropriate that they actually expanded a little more on the Golden Apple Corporation (speaking of which, that's why the Peterson's came to Raven Brooks in the first place).

Theodore has a friend who's a pretty interesting fella called Ike (I won't bother with his last name). Ike resembled the friend that Nicky would eventually be to Aaron, given how he knew Theodore since they were kids and apparently knew a whole lot more from the past.

After a bunch of chapters, we finally get somewhere: Aaron wants to meet with Ike to show him there was more to the factory fire than what the town thought, hoping that this could make his family seem less than outcasts.

Unfortunately, Ike had a limited amount of screentime budget and got off-screen neg diffed by the forest protectors (at least, this is what the finale implied).

The forest protectors are kind of the main antagonists. Kinda. I mean, so far the only evidence they exist is a weird story from ages ago in Raven Brooks that's spread from mouth-to-mouth across townsfolk. But the finale left an open message that they do, in fact, exist.

But that's all left for book 5.

Overall, Bad Blood is not a bad book, but kinda dragged and a little uninteresting. I hope the next one is better.

You know, I always liked to discard "reset day" and I have my own head cannon, Nicky became a writer, I like to believe he wrote a book called "the kid who got away" and have the people from older games have these jobs:

Enzo: mail man

Maritza: gym teacher

Trinity: Baker

Ivan: construction worker

Delroy: Sports commentator

Finch: Cadette Leader

Quentin: the raven brooks banner owner

Imbir: avengers level threat Gerda's pet

Gerda: Crazy cat lady

Tweed/Tavish: Imprisoned

Skipper: Service dog

Otto: Died of old age (rip legend)

Keith: Police commissioner

Ted: Killed himself in prison (rest in piss)

Aaron: ???

Those are my head cannons for post HN1
