[nomnomdiary]

In the game, Bernadine was very close to her uncle Leopold and wanted to protect him from Malcolm and Horatio. In the end, Leopold killed by Horatio and she felt guilty so bad. This makes me think about some headcanon where Bernadine will take revenge on Horatio (and Malcolm) for the death of her best uncle.

Remember those toy knights that the player manages to find during A Family Affair? While we have to take Horatio's words with a grain of salt (how true are those mf's words, we'll never know, as bro does not have a shred of empathy in his body), about what he said that Leopold was indeed the one to keep the toys, I do wholeheartedly believe that it was indeed Leopold who kept the knights.

Horatio has no reason to keep such a momento, and only Leopold could have seen the knights as a reminder of times where he used to play with his brother, their rivalry only reaching to that of boys playing a game.

Horatio on the other hand, saw the knights in a darker sense, for it was always about driving the point of his sword towards his opponent.

I think this is a great symbol, because Horatio literally STABS his brother in the end.

Rare scene of Lady Highmore, chase the shit out of Horatio:

He's dead by the way🙃🙃🤭

[astra-galaxie]

out of curiosity , how would you rank the Rochesters from favorite to least favorite?

Oh! Good question! Let me see how I would rank them…

1) Leopold Rochester

Leopold has always been my favourite Rochester. He is sweet, kind, a bit of a goofball, and caring. He’s so different from most of his relatives that it sets him apart from them in one of the best lights! Plus, I love his relationship with Lady Highmore (even though we don’t get to see it…), which makes him more likeable to me since she’s another S4 fav of mine!

2) Bernadine Rochester

I’ve always liked Bernadine and the relationship she has with Chief Wright. I feel like it had good development, which helped with her character development. She’s also on a similar level as Leopold when it comes to niceness, and while she might be a little stuck up at times, I think she has more compassion than some of the other Rochesters. Overall, she’s a good Rochester to me, and I enjoyed it when we got to interact with her.

3) Rockley Rochester

Okay, I mostly like him because he’s Willy Wonka-themed and very chaotic, but I’m sorry, I loved Charlie and The Chocolate Factory as a kid! Again, he falls into the same category as Loepold and Bernadine since he doesn’t seem to care about the glitz and glam of his wealth and would rather spend his time making new chocolates. I’d also love to try his company's chocolates, but sue me! They look delicious! This man knows how to make chocolate!

4) Patricia Rochester

I wish we could have known more about Patricia before she went insane… But from what we learned, she seemed like a lovely lady, much too lovely for Horatio! And while we didn’t get to discover as much about Patricia as we did with other Rochesters, I enjoy her story and wish it had a happier ending…

5) Archie Rochester

While I won’t forget about or forgive everything Archie did as Mr. Alastor, I don’t hate him as much as others, so he’s in the middle for me. I grew to like him a little more after he returned and became Justin’s assistant. Mostly because I like to imagine that he annoyed Justin all the time, and given what happens in Capitol Peak, I’m grateful that Archie annoyed Justin when we couldn't!

6) Clarissa Rochester

I’m somewhat neutral about Clarissa. Since she only appears once as a victim, I never spent as much time thinking about her. But she seemed to fall into a middle ground: She was a tough businesswoman who valued her reputation but also had a heart. She wanted to adopt a child, something it sounds like no other Rochester ever considered or wanted, and she was willing to go against her father to fulfill her dream of being a mother.

7) Veronica Rochester

I don’t have much opinion on Veronica, mainly because I don’t remember her very well compared to other Rochesters. She’s low on my list because she seemed to care only about her business and very little about her family. Sure, she wasn’t as evil as other Rochesters, but she wasn’t very nice either… Overall, I don’t despise her like I do Horatio, but I don’t love her like Leopold!

8) Malcolm Rochester

I debated naming Malcolm 8th or 9th but ultimately decided to put him in 8th because, while he was a corrupt politician with plenty of evil schemes, unlike Larry or Horatio, he didn't succeed with all of them. Still, he made me mad with schemes and plans to help the Rochesters rule over Concordia so he gets to be in the bottom 3!

9) Larry Rochester

A drunk, lazy womanizer who’s basically made it his hobby to annoy others? Yeah, no. Larry is low on my list of Rochesters! He might not be as evil as Horatio, but he tried to con countless people out of their money (which he wasn’t short on) with his fake scheme and even let his father take the fall for it! If we had known him for as long as we knew Horatio, it might have been a tie for last place between them, depending on what else Larry could have done!

10) Horatio Rochester

The list of why Horatio is my least favourite Rochest is so long that there could be a whole post just about it! He’s a power-hungry monster of a man who would do anything to get what he wants and doesn't care who gets hurt in the process. He wants his family on the top of the food chain, and his desires are so twisted that I don't think he’s capable of seeing reason… I’m glad he finally got his long-overdue punishment and was arrested, even though I wish someone else had been his victim…

The Rochesters were a very interesting family and brought a lot of drama to MotP! And I’m happy that they all weren't evil masterminds because I think that created a better dynamic between them. I wonder what it would have been like to have a canon Rochester descendant appear in a following season…?

Thanks for the ask!

⚠️SPOILERS FOR MOTP AND JUMPSCARE WARNING(?) ⚠️

So I had a small lil conversation on TikTok with @chelleinyy involving Leopold and Horatio and so I made this meme

FNAF wishes it could have jumpscares as scary as that smile

[redbull-enjoyer]

i am fucking bored this new year so imma list all the possible MBTIs of this fucking hellhole of a family (Rochesters)

(note: this is just based on my opinion or on what I really think about them blah blah blah and I forgot half of mbti rn so yeah)

(also there will only be a little explanations because I am fucking lazy ass mf. And this is purely just a hunch so)

Horatio- ESTJ or ISTJ

Leopold- ENFJ

Rockley- same as Leopold's. Or if not, he could be an ENTP too I'm not sure.

Larry- ESTP

Malcolm- The most ENTJ man I have ever seen.

Clarissa- I really don't know. But my guess is that, she's an ISTJ.

Patricia- ISFJ or ESFJ

Archie- okay, this one's tearing me out. His early appearance is giving shyboy INFP/ISFJ. His case 12 reveal as alastor and onwards is lowkey giving evil INTJ mastermind a little bit. So he's either an INFP/ISFJ/INTJ for me

Bernadine- She's kinda giving INFP to me at first or an ESFJ too. but after analyzing her character for a while, I have concluded that she's an ESFJ more than being an INFP.

(lowkey had a hard time analyzing Archie and Bernadine though ngl)

[lucero-is-here]

The camera shows Arthur Wright’s office. Arthur is no where to be seen. But you know who is there? Lucero.

Hello ladies, gentlemen and folks! It’s headcanon time. And we have the dandy man himself, Arthur Wright.

Requested by:

Now let’s get to this dandy man

- he tried to fight Horatio. I mean, Arthur already has beef with Horatio and some of the Rochesters except for Bernadine, Rockley, Veronica, Clarrisa, Patricia and Leopold. Yeah but learning that Horatio was gonna send Bernadine to Gryphon’s Sanctuary pissed him off so bad he was ready to hit Horstio with a chair. And it was one of those really fancy looking chairs too.

- he has good spice tolerance somehow. He can somehow take the spice and is okay with it.

- Bernadine has forced him into a dress at least once, change my mind.

- He wore heels once and proceeded to fall down without even moving.

- he wears loafers. Brown loafers.

- he has come close to punching most of the Rochesters in the face. Malcolm? Had to hold back the extreme urge to punch him. Larry was the same. Let’s not get started on Archie. HORATIO? WELL HE HAD TO BE HELD BACK BY ROSE AND RICHARD AT ONE POINT OF TIME-

- Arthur’s family is like…Filthy rich- they are really rich- that’s all I can say.

- he has parent issues. His parents were more interested in making more money than spending time with him- which was bad for him to say the least.

- he’s an only child. He doesn’t have siblings-

- he has a ranking for how much he hates the Rochesters from most to least. Bernadine and others won’t be included in this list for very obvious reasons. The lost starts: Horatio, Malcolm, Larry, and Archie.

The rest that aren’t included are either okay or Arthur had no beef with them and didn’t know them so well.

- Arthur likes dogs- he has a pet dog- and it’s so funny when he brings the dog on the walk and the dog doesn’t want to go home and Arthur is just dragging a dog home with so much difficulty-

- beef with Lawson. I don’t even need to say why he just has really bad beef with Lawson. He just saw how Lawson became after becoming Mayor and went: Yeah time to add him to list of people I have beef with…AGGRESSIVE SCRIBBLING ON A LIST WITH AT LEAST 9 PEOPLE ON IT WHICH ISN’T A LOT-

- he gets pranked by Rose and Richard- he got lifted up by Rose and panicked so much- And Rose just had him in the air for like 2 hours and he just had the expression saying, “this is my life now,”

- he can play like…Three instruments, one of which he stopped playing. Those three instruments are the violin, cello and piano. He gave up on cello.

- he literally fought Malcolm once. It was a physical fight too. After he found that Malcolm was…abusive he just got out his office, went to Malcolm, and punched Malcolm in the face. Bernadine had to separate the both of them to keep Arthur from murdering Malcolm. Arthur was that angry to know Malcolm was like that, and was pretty much ready to get blood on his hands.

- he likes kids- kids like him too. As I headcanon him and Bernadine have a daughter in the future, he’s a really good dad- he takes care of the kid, gives her hugs and doesn’t neglect her. He lets her goes to work with him where when he gets free time he teachers her random things and say what he does as Chief of the flying squad. And she just tells him she wants to be Chief of the flying squad too. And he says: one day. One day.

- he’s terrified of bugs- he can’t stand them. He’s either instantly killing them or crying about them. Usually the first but he cries about them when it’s a spider or a cockroach. He saw a giant spider once and he screamed so much-

- SNAKES ARE HIS ENEMY- HE HATES SNAKES- I mean he can kind of stand them but touch them? HELL NO-

- he has learnt about what dolphins do sometimes and is forever traumatised about them.

- he gets maximum 6 hours of sleep.

Okay that’ll all for the dandy man though most of the headcanons I wrote are wildin- but I might make a part 2-

[screechingcheesecakecheesecake]

MoTP talk:

SPOILER ALERT AGAIN

I love to talk about my interests as you can see

What I really love the most about MoTP, it really felt like we were going around the city. The lack of intense apocalypse themed (love ya pacific bay but i feel like the tone of the last arcs where kinda off and too wild lmao) and just grounding themselves with the concept a specialized squad flying around the city.

Everything are so tied in together. The previous games deaths kinda felt like me going "Ahh this guy is the killer def, ahh, this person is gonna get killed soon aren't they" which doesn't really feel all intense lmao. But with how MoTP loved calling back as much characters as they can, we get to know them more and see how their lives and actions change as the tone of the story changes. (CRIES IN GLADYS, ADELLIA, AND GIULETTA)

Also because of it, we kinda see more characters more fleshed out than the usual we get from CC games?

ALSO THIS GAME GENUINELY HAD ME CLENCHING ON WHO ARE GONNA DIE OR WHO IS THE KILLER. ESPECIALLY THE KILLERS. THE DETAILS ARE SO SUBTLE IN IT THAT I ACTUALLY HAVE TO DEDUCT POSSIBLE MOTIVES. IT WAS VERY ENGAGING.

The main themes of the story were pretty down to earth: corruption, power play, justice.

It was so down to earth that it was really easy to empathize with a lot of the killers, especially the vigilante ones.

Also kudos to Archie and Horatio. You were truly shitty people but very intelligent and manipulative ones. Being able to craft plans for their goals while leaving themselves out from suspicions unless we do intense digging was very smart. Heck, Horatio literally crafted a plan so fucking careful we took like 80% of the game to catch him. He's shitty but he's SMART. And he was able to get away from it for DECADES.

Like Horatio is honestly insane man caused so much indirect deaths??? Like dude??

Also, I remember Justin Lawson before saying that he believed that the Rochesters should all be in jail. While, the way he went about it was very, not very good. In a way, the Rochesters who were engaging and not doing anything to stop Horatio while knowing his actions were also somewhat complicit of his crimes. So in a way, I understand Lawson's argument about that. And they knew the consequences of it if they babbled their mouths, we saw that with Leopold (sigh).

(Also Lawson, a lawyer, becoming a dictator removing freedom of press and the likes. I was a bit like, was one of the writers from PH or something, why is this hitting a bit too home.)

WIP Wednesday

@asha10100101010, thank you so much for the ask about my Reunion Good Omens Fic.

I hope that you enjoy the snippet.

Bookshop had watched the two of them for decades, her angelic Light One, who preferred to be called Aziraphale, and the demonic Dark One, who preferred to be called Crowley. She realized that they were exactly like all those characters that Aziraphale loved: Beatrice and Benedict; Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy; Anne & Captain Wentworth; Horatio and Hamlet; Jane and Mr. Rochester; Achilles and Patroclus; Clarissa and Sally.

They loved each other. They would do anything for each other.

[jomarchswritingjacket]

not all of these are canon except yes they are (in my heart)

[asharkapologist]

YES! Shout-out to you, anon, because you are entirely correct. I absolutely hate how much the fandom ignores how awful this man is, and how the mf mourned the loss of his job more than his son. Horatio is probably morally worse than Malcolm, but Malcolm is my least favorite Rochester--in fact, one of my least favorite characters in the game.

Malcom Rochester is an awful father.

🔍

[nomnomdiary]

I made family tree of The Rochester

I just found Bernie and Malcolm's dad yesterday. Sadly there's no information what's his name..

Damn why I just realized it!

And also I have no more information about Monty Rochester. All I know is in the 12th case, Archie said he's his uncle. It's means, Monty is in the same generation with Larry, Bernie, Rockley etc.

I've seen another source said Monty is in the same generation with Horatio and Leopold which means he's dad of Bernie and Malcolm. How ever Archie didn't say "Grand-uncle". He said "uncle". So I think it's not true.

Quotes from CC judges

Applies to a lot of killers in the CC universe, pretty solid. Judge Hall was the most sensible judge imo.

This man is so chaotic. Unhinged, but this quote makes him look so silly.

Damn, this just reminded me of There Will be Blood, and A Family Affair ngl. This hits so hard.

Takakura's is kinda depressing. Like, all he wanted was a break. Probably one of the more sensible judges in the series. I also would like to point out how it parallels Lawson.

Like, Lawson was a bright-eyed, optimistic idealist when he became judge. Compare Takakura and Lawson, then that would be a whole discussion by itself.

Lawson's quote is just pure fanaticism.

Modus operandi is going into my vocabulary fr.

*looks at Horatio Rochester* Idk much about Lebrun, since I don't really bother looking into CoR.

"Die"

[astra-galaxie]

Ok so this is the first time Im asking you and it's okay if you can't answer I just want to know if Arthur and bernadine have a child after the events of motp how would the Rochester's family would react? This question is really not getting out on my head

I seen a au that all of them alive and have great life except some of them never change

But anyway thank you if you're gonna answer this^^

Welcome to your first ask on my blog! Thank you for sending it to me!🥰

Personally, I like to think Arthur and Bernadine had a child or children post-MotP. Even if they might be on the “older side” for having children, it's not impossible, and I think they would make good parents. Maybe a little overbearing, but they would love their kid(s) so much!

As for your question about how the other Rochesters would react, we’ll pretend these answers occur in an AU where they all lived long enough to meet the kid(s)!

Horatio Rochester: I don’t think he would care much. He wouldn't go out of his way to interact with the kid(s), but he would acknowledge their existence. Since Arthur is the Chief of The Flying Squad, he would tolerate Bernadine’s choice of husband even if Arthur isn’t as high class as the Rochesters. Likewise, he would consider the kid(s) lesser than other Rochesters because of their father’s background but would still see value in their existence.

(Let’s be real, do we honestly think Horatio cares about his family if they aren’t “useful” to him? I doubt future generations are exempt from this…)

Leopold Rochester: Leopold reminds me of parents/grandparents who considered all their children/grandchildren’s friends their own. So, he would absolutely adore Bernadine and Arthur’s kid(s)! He would babysit, include the kid(s) in family activities, give them the best gifts, and always make time for them.

Patricia Rochester: While Patricia’s mind may be far from what it used to be, she would still love the kid(s) in her own slightly strange way. I think of it like when dementia patients are given baby dolls and instantly remember how to care for them, helping their moods improve. I know Patricia doesn't have dementia, but for goodness' sake, let this woman have some happiness! She deserves it!

And while the kid(s) might not see her often or fully understand what happened to Patrcia’s mind until they are older, they would have fun visiting their great-aunt who gives them little gifts she makes or finds and tells the funniest stories! Even if they don't always make sense…

Malcolm Rochester: He would be similar to Horatio but not as extreme. While he wouldn’t be a doting uncle, he still sends the kid(s) birthday presents (usually money because he has no clue what kids like) and talks to them in public. But he wouldn't visit them for family dinners or things like that since he’s so focused on his political career. The kid(s) would see their Uncle Malcolm in the newspaper more often than they would see him in person.

Veronica Rochester: She’d be in a similar category to Malcolm but not as horrible. She’d still be distant from the kid(s), but they would see her more often than their uncle. I don’t see her as overly maternal, especially not towards kids who aren't her own, so she probably wouldn't acknowledge them beyond saying hello. She doesn't strike me as the overly affectionate type!

Clarissa Rochester: Since we never met Clarissa before her death, this might not be a perfect interpretation of her character. I feel she would be a middle ground between her relatives: she wouldn't be as distant as Horatio and Malcolm since we know she desires to be a mother through adoption despite her father’s disapproval, but I don’t know if she would be on the same level as Leopold since she’s still a busy businesswoman. But I think she would still adore Bernadine and Arthru’s kid(s), be a loving aunt figure for them, and host playdates for them with her kid (if she was able to adapt to this AU).

Rockley Rochester: Surprisingly, caring for and entertaining children comes somewhat naturally to Rockley. He’s no expert like his father, but kids don’t run away screaming after seeing him. When it comes to Bernadine and Arthur’s kid(s), Rockley will enjoy being around his first-cousin(s)-once-removed, them visiting his factory and giving them tours of the place while letting them test his newest chocolates and candies. He’d probably be a favourite relative of the kid(s) since he always has sweets on him specifically for them to enjoy.

(I hope I got the right type of cousin. I'm horrible at remembering how many-times-removed-cousins are by generations!😅)

Larry Rochester: Would want nothing to do with the kid(s), especially when their infant(s)/toddler(s). Larry hates kids and does everything he can to avoid being around them. It doesn't matter if their family. If they're a crying, snot-nosed kid, you can rest assured Larry will NOT be around them! Nor will you EVER catch him changing a soiled diaper!

Archie Rochester: In the presence of the rest of his family, Archie would keep his distance from his cousin(s). But when certain relatives weren't around, he would be more carefree and play with them. He loves his Aunt Bernadine, and her kid(s) would follow suit, even if Archie is awkward around children… However, in time, he’d learn how to act around his cousin(s) and let himself have fun without worrying about others judging him for being “immature.”

Some might be more accurate than others (I’m no Rochester expert), but I think my answers are pretty true to character!

Thank you for the ask! I hope you enjoyed my answers!😊

INKEMBER DAY 15: FAVORITE VILLAIN

Are you satisfied?

Dig for gold

Dig for fame

You dig to make your name

Are you pacified?

So for the Inkember drawing prompts going on on Instagram, I decided to participate in today's prompt, which was drawing your favorite villain!

Technically, Horatio isn't actually my favorite, but he's definitely up there and I think he's an interesting mf. Plus I've already drawn my absolute favorite villains, so decided to give Horatio his time to shine. Rip Leopold ‼️🙏
