Jane Doe (Ride the Cyclone) Propaganda:
Great singing, also she’s literally wearing a doll‘s head bc she lost hers
do they have their soul or is it rotting somewhere with their head?
BALLAD OF JANE DOE IS SO SAD AND SHE IS GREAT AND I ONLY WATCH RTC ONCE BUT SHES NY FAVE OK
cool asf
She forgets her name after her death and has no story told in the production
She's so sweet and deserves the world. Her song (The Ballad of Jane Doe) is great.
the song goes so hard just listen to her song guys please
she literally died and her head was cut off so nobody could tell who she was PLEASE let her take one (1) W
BECAUSE SHE IS AMAZING. First she already won the tournament in the musical to regain life, as she won them over with her sad wet cat energy because she did not have a head and feared that she lost her soul. Second, she died on a roller coaster and lost her head, but stole her doll's head and thats very gender. Third, throughout the musical she is used as a vessel for religious allegory, she is an angel, she is jesus, she is a demon, she is forsaken but she is purity itself. Fourthly, she is is given the identity of Savannah with the greenest eyes after the other characters who died with her hold her a birthday party, and I think thats sweet because its probably some kind of meaning I cant see but auughfhfhh shes so cool
i mean her name isn't TECHNICALLY jane doe but we refer to her as such. she's so silly!! autism powers! i don't have a lot of propaganda tbh. i would've just been surprised had she NOT been submitted
She lost her head literally when the rollercoaster derailed. She wasn't able to be identified apart from the school uniform she was wearing.
Her name is forgotten, and so is everything about her. So she’s called Jane Doe. She’s very sweet and very creepy, but she doesn’t mean it
and im asking WHYYYYY LORRRRRDDD
I LOVE HER! she died in a roller coaster accident and was decapitated, her body not being found. in the show, her head is actually just her doll’s head. the coroners couldn’t identify her, so she was dubbed a jane doe. in the game to be alive again, she ends up being voted, her name being revealed to be penny lamb. anyways she’s a little creepy and also quite silly and she does her funny little waddle like a porcelain doll (or corpse).
She deserves it! She lost her head she shouldn't lose this too.
Not convinced you didn’t start this tournament just for her tbh
They have a great song and a true air of mystery to them. They also have arguably the best song in the musical, The Ballad of Jane Doe! I would definitely recommend listening to it >:)
—She LOST her HEAD and had it replaced with a PORCELAIN DOLL —In all seriousness her story is really poignant. No one could identify her body so she arrives in the afterlife not knowing her identity and she spends the show vacillating between depressed and angry at her situation, leading to… —“The Ballad of Jane Doe”, specifically Emily Rohm’s version, might be the most haunting solo in musical theatre history.
John Doe (Malevolent) Propaganda:
Spooky gay eldritch disaster (am I doing this right?)
Could have chosen any name for himself and picked John because a kind person called him that :)
fractured piece of an eldritch god that shares a body with a private eye after being fractured. chooses the name John Doe after said private eye goes into a coma
Because he’s an eldritch god who wants to feel human and who overcame a lot of obstacles and dangers!!! He sincerely cares about the main character!!! And he chose a name himself! Isn’t he cute??? He lost his body, he almost lost his memory, he fought for his right to exist, he loves animals, he loves his friend Arthur and I love him!
Being an ass, friendship, spooky supernatural stuff, he’s got it all
My man heard the name John Doe, realized he didn’t actually have a name, and just. Took it for himself.
I LOVE HIM. MY SON. HE’S TRYING TO CHANGE AND BE BETTER AND :(((( He’s a fragment of the soul of the King in Yellow (god of trickery and suffering iirc??) that gets trapped in a book in our realm while the rest of the King stayed in his own separate realm. When a human named Arthur Lester opens the book they get linked and John gains control of Arthur’s eyes & kills his partner (oops!). They proceed to go on a quest to find a way of separating them because neither likes the situation, and at first John (or The Entity, which is what he’s called at first) just wants to trick and use Arthur, and control his entire body (through the first season he also gets a hand & a foot) even though he doesn’t remember being The King In Yellow at the time, but Arthur makes him change and become more human. His turning point is when Arthur is shot and falls into a coma for a month. They get treated at a hospital and while John waits for Arthur to wake up so they can carry on, the body itself still gets taken care of. The time John spends alone, contemplating on humanity & everything he’s seeing and learning from Arthur, as well as the way a certain nurse speaks to him every day (specifically, she greets him good morning and good night, despite the body being unresponsive, John still hears because he is an entity linked to the body) and calls him John (they didn’t have ID on when they were found so they were classified as John Doe), changes his outlook and plans for good, and he asks Arthur to call him John; from this point on he admits he cares for Arthur, looks for his wellbeing too, and in general attempts to be a better person and to live for himself. The rest of the podcast (ongoing!!) explores Arthur & John’s relationship, struggle to survive, adventures in the eldritch… All while tackling each of their issues with themselves and each other and watching them both grow. John in specific learns to be the person he wants to be, how sometimes you’ll take a step forward and two backwards; he can be cruel and manipulative sometimes but he still tries. Personally I love his journey, it’s very realistic and you can see he is trying his best, and how he wants to be better than he was as the King In Yellow, and how much Arthur has changed him and how much he cares about him because of that; and how he’s slowly growing into being his own person :) if it ends badly ill cry so hard but!!! he’s John Doe because that’s the name he was being addressed as, and he’s made it his, and being John means he’s no longer the King and that he wants to be different, and John can fail or make mistakes but it’s part of who he is now, and that’s what matters. I am So Normal About Him
JOHN DOE (Malevolent) SWEEP
OH MY GOD JOHN DOE MY BELOVED 💛💛
(watch me just not clarify that would be so funny ahah)
John doe (Malevolent) 💛💛💛 my silly
He's so funny he makes Arthur bump his head into a dock because he didn't say duck in time and then laughs at him 💛💛

ELLIE WITH A SWEET DUMB OBLIVIOUS GIRLFRIEND!!! ELLIE WITH A SWEET DUMB OBLIVIOUS GI- [GUNSHOTS]
ellie with an oblivious girlfriend
there’s nobody else in the world you feel safer with than ellie
she’s your protector and she always looks out for you
and thank god she does
one of the things ellie loves most about you is how genuinely sweet and thoughtful you are
you think of others first, you’re reassuring and kind, you’re a very giving person
however, you can also be ditzy and forgetful, which ellie finds endearing but it also puts her on extra alert constantly
you’ll wake up earlier than her to cook breakfast for both you of you, and by the time she walks in, you’ll be setting out the finished product on the dining table
she walks in with a sleepy “mornin’ babe” and a yawn, and as she sees the breakfast set-up you’ve made, she begins to smile
but before she can praise you, she smells something weird from the kitchen and immediately bounds in to find you’ve forgotten to turn the stove off
thankfully it was just an empty pan on top of it and the burner was on a lower setting
you rush in after her as she turns the dial to “off” and you immediately start to apologize tearfully
“oh fuck, el, i’m so sorry, i can’t believe i keep fucking doing that. i didn’t mean it, baby—”
ellie interrupts you by pulling you into an embrace and kissing your forehead
“hey, hey, it’s okay. no harm done. don’t freak out.”
you let her peck you on the lips before she continues
“we’ll work on it, okay? can’t have you burning the place down. but i’m not mad, alright?”
she places another kiss on your forehead as you whisper a soft “okay”
“now, i’m pretty hungry,” she continues. “whatever you made smells really fucking good. let’s go eat, alright?”
your forgetfulness applies to misplacing things too
whether it’s your keys or your favourite pair of shoes, it’s not uncommon for something to go missing
in the game’s universe, ellie will be knocking on your door ten minutes before you both have to go for a morning patrol
you were supposed to meet up with her for breakfast at the tipsy bison earlier but you never showed
she hears you go, "one second!!" followed by the sound of things being thrown around
ellie's concerned, so she lets herself in where she's greeted by you ransacking your house
"uhh, babe?" she says and you turn to her with an overwhelmed look on your face
"oh! i'm so sorry el, i know i'm running so late. i just can't find my favourite pistol anywhere, and you know i can't leave jackson without it, i—"
you keep rambling and only stop when ellie unzips her backpack and pulls out the exact pistol you've been searching for all morning
you squeal and say, "OH MY GOD, BABE, WHERE DID YOU—"
she chuckles and hands it to you, saying, "you left it in shimmer's saddle yesterday, remember?"
you place the gun down on the table and lunge to give her a hug
"thankyouthankyouthankyou, what would i do without you?" you say
she gives you a quick kiss before going, "go get ready, silly girl. jesse's gonna kill us if we're late."
while you're in the other room quickly getting dressed, she's straightening the room up and putting things back where they belong
in a modern au, you'll be just as forgetful
it'll be a saturday and you're asleep in her arms and you're woken up by her alarm going off way too early
she reaches over to turn it off and you expect her to turn back to snuggle you but instead, she gets up from bed and draws the blinds to let the morning sunlight in
you groan and lift the blanket over your face
"ellieeeee, whyyyyy"
she chuckles and makes her way over to your side of the bed and pulls the blanket down
"wakey wakey, eggs and bakey" she says, giving you a morning kiss
"no eggs and bakey, it is still night-night time" you whine. "close the blinds, baby"
ellie strokes your cheek and says, "gotta get up, pretty girl. you got therapy this morning."
you kiss the hand that she's stroking your cheek with and say, "no, therapy's tomorrow"
"nope, today, baby." ellie flashes her phone at you to show her calendar app which says your therapy appointment starts in an hour
you groan again and say, "can i skip it today and you come back to bed and cuddle me?"
ellie attacks your neck with kisses and says, "tempting, but still gotta go, baby. i'll cuddle you when we get back, okay?"
you pout, hoping it'll convince ellie
but she's pulling your sleepy ass out of bed two seconds later
you're someone who sees the good in others
which ellie admires you for, but unfortunately means that people will take advantage
the worst is when people start hitting on you
whether it’s a man or a woman, ellie gets territorial regardless
she does react differently though, depending on who’s trying to flirt with her girl
with men, there’s a cockiness to her, knowing that you could unintentionally get their hopes up with your sweet and pleasant demeanor, but in the end? they’d have no chance
but with women? ellie is 10x more possessive
she trusts you and knows that you’re not actually flirting; you’re naturally friendly and affectionate
but she doesn’t like when she sees the way other women look you up and down, drinking you in with a hungry expression on their faces
in the game’s universe, you’ll be at the tipsy bison one night with ellie, dina, and jesse
you all share a table together, and when the bottle of alcohol you’d all been sharing runs low, you volunteer to get another from the bar
you expect maria to be who serves you, but instead it’s a guy your age who you’d seen around town but don’t interact with often
as you walk up to the bar, he spots you and flashes a huge smile
“hey pretty, lady,” he says. “what can i get for you?”
you smile back, not catching the obvious flirting in his greeting
ellie’s eyes were on you since you left the table
usually, she just enjoys being able to look at you every second she has just so she can admire your presence
but this time, it was to suspiciously squint at you and the barman you were currently conversing with
you were giving him an innocent smile, one that she fell in love with so long ago
but the way he looked at you like something he’d like to devour? she muttered a quiet “be right back” to dina and jesse before appearing at your side
you’re laughing politely at something the guy is saying when ellie surprises you by wrapping her arms around your waist
“yeah, i’m—oh! el, you scared me!” you giggle as she pulls you close
she gives you a quick smile before staring at the barman straight on with an intimidating glare
he regards the way ellie’s holding you before he meets ellie's angry green eyes
"everything good here, babe?" she asks you pointedly
"yeah! just grabbing a bottle for us. is everything okay? did you guys need something else?" you ask her
"nah, just missed you." she replies, giving you a kiss on the cheek
the barman, who was taking his time getting you a fresh bottle, quickly assesses the situation and guesses correctly that ellie is not someone to be fucked with
he hands you the bottle but ellie grabs it instead
"thanks, man" she says cooly
she leads you back to dina and jesse, but not before she gives the barman one last smug look
in a modern au, you'll be waiting for ellie to pick you up from the train station to take you home after you'd visited some friends
as you wait in the kiss-and-ride area, some sleazeball approaches you and starts up a conversation
you're too nice to say no and you just assume it's just someone trying to make conversation
ellie eventually pulls up and finds you chatting with the stranger
you see her car and wave and immediately grab your bags
"oh, my girlfriend is here! have a nice day!" you say
"oh man," the sleazeball says. "leaving already? can i at least get a hug?"
"oh, uh—" you begin, but he's mostly there already and you concede to give him a half-hearted hug with one arm
you make your way to ellie's car and get into the passenger's seat, greeting her happily and hurling your bags into the backseat
"who was that?" ellie asks after she greets you back
"who?"
"that guy you just hugged."
"oh, i don't know. just some guy who came up to me a few minutes ago and started chatting. he asked for a goodbye hug." you respond, shrugging
"babe," ellie sighs. "you can't just—you can't just let random guys touch you like that."
"he was just being friendly, el!"
"trust me, baby," she says, glaring at the man who was still staring at you from where he was. "he wasn't."
before you can respond, ellie kisses you passionately and you melt instantly
she kisses you because she misses you, but she also wants this strange man to see that you were unavailable and unattainable
as she pulls away, you're flustered at your girlfriend's boldness
you giggle nervously, not noticing as she glowers at the sleazeball who's now scowling
she drives away as she places her hand on your thigh like usual, pleased with herself and making a mental note to make sure to be ten minutes early to pick you up from anywhere from now on
in the game's universe, you'll be coming home from patrol with a new girl that maria had asked you to train
you were assigned to a fairly easy and tame route that day and maria thought that you'd be a good teacher for this newcomer
this newcomer was very friendly and very bold, and when she'd been told she was assigned to patrol with you that day, she was excited and made plans to ask you out afterwards
she'd seen you during her first couple of weeks in jackson and she'd been itching for a chance to chat you up
you hadn't noticed her much prior to your patrol with her, but ellie did
she noticed her the day that she arrived because the second the new girl laid her eyes on you, ellie could tell she liked what she saw
when you'd told her you were training her, ellie said nothing about the very obvious crush this newcomer had on you
ellie trusted you, but that didn't stop her from worrying
she'd made dina come back from their patrol earlier than usual so she could be there when you'd come back from yours (which earned her an annoyed but playful eye-roll from dina)
ellie was brushing shimmer's mane when you came into the stables with your horse along with the new girl
she frowned when she looked up to see the new girl eagerly helping you down from your horse
you gave the girl a smile and a thank you before spotting ellie waiting for you
your smile widened when you saw her and you practically jumped on her to give her a hug
"hi, baby! you're back from patrol already?" you ask as you pull away slightly to look at her better
"yeah, not much action on mine and dina's route," ellie lied. "missed you, pretty girl."
"you saw me this morning, dummy." you chuckle
"and i missed you," ellie reiterated. "can't help it."
you give her a loving smooch, which ellie gladly reciprocates and takes a step further as she lifts you up and swings you around
she smiles at your giggles and your noncommital whines to put you down, smirking internally about putting on a show in front of the new girl
the new girl who looked at the scene, defeated and irritated, and who you also had completely forgotten about
in a modern au, you'll be visiting a lesbian bar with ellie
you both needed to unwind and you were both slowly getting tipsier by the second
she excuses herself to the bathroom for a few minutes, but not before giving you a quick kiss and a promise to return quickly
she's not gone for five minutes before she returns and finds that some other girl is leaning on her barstool and chatting you up
she could tell that you were being friendly and sweet as always, but the other girl's body language told a different story
the girl has left by the time she makes it back to where you were sitting
your face lights up like it always does when you see her
"scoring some dates?" ellie jokes, even if she's seething internally
"oh, just someone being nice, that's all" you reply
"uh huh," ellie says as she takes her seat, handing your purse back to you that you'd placed on top of her stool to avoid someone taking it
"el, not everyone is out here looking to sleep with me." you say to her, pushing a stray hair behind her ear
"really?" she says before lifting the napkin her drink was sitting on to reveal a piece of paper with a number scribbled over it
you look at it for a second and say, "that doesn't mean she was hitting on me!"
ellie rolls her eyes and says, "you are far too beautiful to not get hit on when we're in a lesbian bar"
"lesbians need friends too, el" you reply
ellie pulls out the piece of paper from underneath the napkin and lifts it up to your eye level, revealing the girl's phone number and a note that said "call me xx" right underneath it
you stare at it for a second before saying, "do you think i should call her?"
you laugh as ellie rolls her eyes at you and playfully gets up to leave
"i'm kidding, baby, i'm kidding!" you snicker, gripping ellie's tattooed arm and pulling her back down to her stool. "come back here, silly."
"you sure it's me and not your new girlfriend that you want to sit here with you?" ellie taunts
"is this new girlfriend gonna take care of me better than you do?" you ask, pulling ellie close to you by her collar
"probably not" she says, staring at your lips
"that's what i thought." you say before you lean in and kiss her so intensely that she completely forgets all about that other girl within seconds
author's notes:
