crazy how the sanshee plush is one of the few actual direct confirmations on what a non-act 2 Natsuki’s home life is like because of how cagey she is on literally everything. Like this isn’t anything surprising or something you wouldn’t be able to extrapolate from the games but unlike everything else we know about her the implications are right there on the tin.

They literally did the character bio trope where where all the likes are normal but the dislikes are about their very specific trauma it’s just so funny they did that on the plushie card

#the thing is the rest of the bios are mostly normal it’s just this one with the yellong part why did they do that #idk if I’m stupid or forgot the yelling thing being shown directly in a non-act 2 context but I at least appreciate the confirmation #since I might just be mixing up fanon and canon considering 90% of what we know with Natsuki’s whole deal is interpolated from small tidbits #but like trying to understand anything about non act 2 Natsuki’s background is so funny because she doesn’t like to talk about anything #so all we know about her home life is by comparing her to act 2 and the secret poem plus psychoanalysing her thoughts and actions #is like the secret poem says Monika definitely made her dad worse but the problem is we don’t know how much #anyways and for all we know her dad could range from somewhat average dad to should be put on a watch list #and sometimes there’s dialogue like the one in self love about Natsuki worrying about her friends retaliation #and it’s probably meant to act as a confirmation to whether there’s physical abuse considering how out of left field the question is #but like it could be interpreted either way so it’s basically just Schrödinger’s physical abuse for no reason #I’m not criticizing or anything I think the characters being able to hold secrets is cool and ambiguity is awesome #and the choice to keep the ambiguous is intentional since the characters only share what their comfortable with #but I just need to vent about that one line in self love ok #like idk if I’m just stupid but there’s multiple interpretations but it’s seemingly both a decomfirmation and confirmation #idk it’s weird but her dad yelling at her enough to make it one of her dislikes is at least something in terms of actual evidence #damn it I put a paragraph in the tags again I’m sorry gang I’m not moving it #ddlc #doki doki literature club #tempestmothtalk
