The Ringmaster being yet another unfortunate victim of The Ancestor's aspirations? Some poor village girl who grew infatuated with him, but unlike those who would become The Hag or Siren, either never caught his attention, or had nothing of value he could use or gain from her. Understanding that he had a fascination with the macabre and dark, she began spilling the blood of others, at first hesitantly, then with vigor, hoping to gain his attention that way. Like-minded individuals, murderers and marauders, came to her, and she eventually created a carnival of carnage, all to hopefully get the attention of The Ancestor.

It is hard to criticize the Ancestor, if u remember when we first finished the level 1 darkest dungeon,he said:"Now, like me, you will see everything as they truly are".After that, everyone in the town sometimes are replaced by terrific monters,even your own roster. That mean in the horrible world of darkest dungeon,folks are no more than filthy,ugly things to the Ancestor.Beside,imagine that you are the Ancestor, can u fall in love with or even show your mercy for that things?

A few things cause my thoughts on this are too big for one point: 1.) While I know next to nothing about the Darkest Dungeon Lore, I adore what you do with the characters. They way you draw them and make them emote tells so much about their personalities and I think it’s stupendous. 2.) Holy hell, I’ve never heard this song before but damn have I gotta jump on the bandwagon of whatever musical this is cause it’s great. 3.) I always had the feeling you two were related somehow! Your art styles have always reminded me of each other and you guys art is definitely some of my favorite.

Super late on this reply, but the musical this song is from is called "Make Me Bad"! There's basically _nothing_ about it anywhere from what I can find. The closest to any sort of official recordings of any of it I found was a trailer for the premier production and a couple of songs from it performed at 54 Below. I think there's another song from it on Drew Gasparini's "I Need A Drink" album, though, and there's sheet music available for purchase. Also a mug??? For some reason??? I doubt any of us will get a chance to see the full show any time soon though, sadly. Can't find where to get the performance rights for it anywhere.

Quality has come to KZbin. You remember our venerable videos, opulent and imperial. Gazing proudly from their stoic perch above KZbin. I spent all my views in that shitty, low quality vlog. Fattened by shit taste and bad art. And yet, I began to tire of conventional extravagance. Singular, unsettling tales suggested KZbin itself was a gateway to some fabulous and unnamable quality. With relic and ritual, I bent every effort towards the excavation and recovery of those long buried animations, exhausting what remained of our family fortune on swarthy internet and sturdy drawings. At last, in the meme-soaked crags beneath the lowest recommendations we unearthed that beautiful portal of antediluvian quality. Our every step unsettled the ancient algorithm but we were in a realm of music and art! In the end, I alone fled laughing and wailing through those blackened arcades of antiquity. Until consciousness failed me. You remember our venerable videos, opulent and imperial. They are beautifully made! I beg you, return home, claim your birthright, and deliver our family into the ravenous clutching art... of yellow-py.

[@crowbird0540]

@1.17 Grimdark in writing is when a story centers around horrible events happen to the protagonist and other main characters. Where there is no "happy ending" for the story but a basic concept like survival or guilt, the ending tone of which always feels completely and utterly hopeless. By it's very nature, Darkest Dungeon is a grimdark story. By extension, so too is the Circus. A good way to tell if something is grimdark is to ask who won. If the answer is nobody, it is grimdark.
