They Could Never Make Me Hate You Theopil

😭😭😭

It's a flavour of Monster, an energy drink

It's not sold in McDonald's ironically enough 😭

On another note, think of the profit of Picrasma energy drinks (and how much Vertin's liver will suffer 😭)

I am not a fan of the design. To the shredder.

Oh God you have no idea how many empty cans of that would be scattered around the suitcase. Like Lilya's alcohol consumption or Regulus Dr. Pepper (idk how that's actually written) addiction, girl has so many or those in her fridge, under her bed, in her pockets, under her hat.

Oh my God the suitcase has NEVER had such an outage in money because of Vertin's addiction to it.

It gets banned after a while (Madam Z wrote a letter to the distributors to stop making the drink, for Vertin's safety) and Vertin has to go back to eating candy when her almost unlimited amount of Picrasma Candy Energy drinks becomes limited.

And Tooth Fairy has never been filled with so much bottled rage before.

(Vertin did try to get in contact with the company who made them but they couldn't do any other Picrasma Candy Energy drinks because the foundation prohibited it)

damn girl relax

The Spinning Wheel and Suitcase

So silly post about Vertin's name has me rethinking early game stuff (yippee)

Thinking about how the disk wasnt probably talking to the player but Vertin about her name.

Then.

What about the line when you first spin the wheel? Something along the lines of "spin the wheel as you have done many times before"

Again maybe we all assume its the player in a meta sense they are referring to but I lean towards the voice is asking to Vertin (again someone talking to her not an in-game instruction)

What do you mean "as you have done before", I mean Vertin does imply prior to the Prologue she never went outside of the lobby area to the Wilderness until then, probably even less time inside of the suitcase since she mentions she had to discover its capabilities over time and still is.

People already have theorised the multiple timelines stuff but I wont rehash here - the main thing Im looking at is the "again". Does that mean Vertin has spun the wheel before? Shes not seem entirely familiar with it when we see it in the Prologue.

Again who was the original owner of the suitcase? The Foundation wanting to test it in Book 4 shows they did not necessarily create it. If Vertin was given it then the Foundation at least knew the role of Timekeeper needed this suitcase for whatever reason. Was it her mother? The incantation is in Esperanto so maybe?

(You think sometimes Vertin spins the wheel in hope someone reversed may show up?)

(Its also interesting she is the only one immune to the water's effects, and the water is implied to have properties of the Storm - probably the only true place Vertin can be alone in)

Im running with the assumption its her mother's and maybe it was agreed since the Foundation probably had contact with her mother (I mean Vertin was found there) that Vertin when she was "ready" (Breakaway Incident "ready") she would receive the suitcase and be given the incantation.

Experimenting.

Few scrappy doodles from the past few days. Been trying to get out of art block but it’s absolutely eating me alive :’)

There are other sketches but their too incomprehensible to post :’o

reading these analysis posts on vertin's relationships with others and both the O.P.'s getting it right and its got me like

A Pirate's Yearn (A Regulus x Vertin Fanfic) just reached 1000 hits and 100 kudos in AO3!

Not much of a milestone, I know, but it is a rareship fic in a game's small western fandom, done by someone who's just got into writting fanfic last year as a way to improve its english.

With all things considered, I do think is worth celebrate it. And of course, thanks to all of you who have been reading my stuff and leaving positive feedback! Hope you enjoy my upcoming (and hopefully) bi-weekly fic about Mercuria that I'll start uploading in January 15th. ...

Okay, enough yapping, back to writting.

Regulus Has More Depth than it Seems

Ever since I started playing Reverse 1999, Regulus has been portrayed as Vertin's energetic friend, pirate rocker, maybe with ADHD, and overall fun gal. I didn't pay attention to her much, but after watching her anecdote, I realized that there were many things that I glossed over about her.

During Regulus' anecdote, I saw this line. That means Regulus was old enough to remember her mother's demeanor towards her or what her mother was like.

Regulus is a street kid who was practically raised by Mr. APPle. Broadcasting music illegally in her pirate ship, she has gotten trouble in the side of the law several times.

Although she never went to school, she is very bright (knowing mechanical know-hows in Laplace and doing Math in Apeiron).

It pains me that Regulus can sometimes be reduced to a comedy gag by the fandom. She might be seriously funny and memetic but she is also profoundly devoted to Vertin and a sweetheart. She was the first one Vertin saved in the suitcase after all!

This was brought to my attention when I saw a line during her anecdote. The mayor of Gold Dust (who was part of the Order of Enlightenment) wanted to invite Regulus to a worship for the Sufferer (Arcana) and Regulus expressed contempt for that:

This line means that Regulus knows about Vertin's past! This means that Vertin must have been comfortable enough to open up to her regarding the Breakaway incident that happened during Chapter 3.

She was also first to hug Vertin when she came back and cried bitterly from being separated from her.

When Regulus joined Vertin for the first time, Vertin was worried that she might feel burdened or restricted going with her. Then Regulus says this:

She was sweet in the beginning and she had been a loyal partner to Vertin ever since. I know that for sure since she went to prison multiple times already for her. She never gave up on Vertin and never stopped trying when the Foundation kept her unconcious.
