ok ive been thinking about this since like chapter 12 and chapter 16 is just around the corner so:

here’s my theory about how clan member contracts work + the contract powerscale 📝

so huey signs a contract with someone and they each have to fulfill it. simple enough. in return for fulfilling the contract, huey gives them a fraction of his essence (which culminates in a gemstone on their body) and they go on a roadtrip to fix the altars every once in a while

each original clan member signed their contract for a reason. we have pretty good guesses for some of them quincy: to protect the tribe/tribe’s land (pretty much confirmed as of razor’s edge) olivine’s ancestor: to assist(?) the church dante’s ancestor: to protect the solaria yakumo’s ancestor: to protect his loved ones (see: misty vale) what happens when someone doesn’t fulfill their contract? based on rei’s flashback in ch. 12, i’m guessing that the body part their gemstone is connected to + their essence begins to go haywire. rei mentions he ‘never chose to enter any damn contract’ while his gem huey also mentions that rei must learn to ‘harness the power’ he was given. it seems like part of that ‘harnessing’ is using huey’s power in service to the original contract.

rei, it seems, was not doing that. this is in contrast to someone like quincy who spends a great deal of time protecting and aiding the forest tribe and, likewise, possesses an incredible amount of power.

i think olivine is in a similar position (though he doesn’t know it). he’s got a lot of control and power and, unlike yakumo and edmond, his gem wasn’t cloudy when eiden met him (although, his sr also covers his gem with a decorative gem so?) (at any rate, iirc, eiden doesn't notice anything wrong with his gem). (EDIT: i have been informed that eiden does comment on olivine's gem in his h-story room when he sees his real gem and he says it’s clear (healthy gem = good essence health). OLIVINE WIN.) olivine's ancestor (likely) asked for power to care for/protect the church and olivine has been doing that (monster semen not withstanding. we’ll get to that.📌) + regulating with the altar. the more a clan member ‘fulfills the purpose of their contract’, the more power they reap from it. it’s hard to say this definitively because some of the original contracts are very ambiguous.

this puts quincy + olivine + kuya(?) in the upper tiers edmond + yakumo + g/karu(?) are in mid tier

the familiars + blade are N/A (never signed a contract)

and then bottom tier are rei and dante. who also happen to be the only main clan members who have been conspicuously sick as part of their character rei, we know spent an ample amount of time doing something outside of klein (i.e. not fulfilling his ancestor’s contract). so, we know where his dysregulation came from and it likely didn’t occur while he was a kid based on the few childhood flashbacks we get from him. his problem was mostly getting megabullied 😔✊ but what about dante? how did he fail his contract as infant, straight from the womb??? (assuming that was the cause of his sickness)

well. when he was born, solaria wasn’t doing very well. and, honestly, his parents weren’t doing a great job running the show. it also probably didn’t help that he was stopped from doing anything that could help solaria since he was isolated to palace grounds.

that is until the night of the riot when he ran and sought out the elemental spirit of fire's trial.

we don’t know exactly when dante ‘stopped being sick’ but i’d hazard a guess that it was after his trial with the elemental spirit of fire. the essence + power he gained from the contract with the elemental spirit of fire (i.e. his agreement to protect the fire territory) stabilized his essence and thus, his health. his newfound health (plus a lot of training) gave him the strength to improve solaria and become what he is today. (as an aside, similar to how kuya provides a lot of insight on huey, dante provides a lot of insight on contracts and communication with the elemental spirits. his contract is directly compared to the contract scrolls used by huey (by blade in chapter 10 part 1). in that chapter we learn that failure to fulfill his contract will result in his death. otherwise, we see that he gains power and favor from the spirits.)

even though solaria has improved a lot, i think dante's essence from huey might be permanently effected given that in sunburst fever, he can’t use magic w/o the elemental spirits. in general, he seems to struggle with outputting essence compared to other clan members.

tl;dr: huey’s contracts make you more powerful if you do what you said you’d do (or your ancestor said that they’d do) and, if you don’t, wuh oh… 📌 so olivine and the monster semen. yes, he did try to sabotage the church, so why didn’t he face some kind of huge consequence for breaking the contract? well… he also protected the church and, despite trying to harm it, he did his best to maintain it. so, what might seem like a huge breach of contract, is actually alright. the church didn’t face any major harm and it was protected. bada-bing-badaboom also, a possible question might be ‘so what about the mid-tier guys?’. so, yakumo and edmond don’t appear(?) to be actively fulfilling their contracts (though yakumo is well on his way).

what’s important is that they aren’t violating their contract. from when we meet them, it seems like ‘neglect of a contract’ does lead to degradation of one’s gem (cloudiness of the gem, poor condition in general) and would eventually lead to illness (like rei), but it’s a much slower process. it’s a good thing eiden regulated with them when he did.

Finally releasing my bottled up nu cani obsession.

real and true

oooooh! that could definitely be a possibility considering the amount of essence yokai carry themselves? it could have an interesting mix with huey’s essence. (we kind of see this in the contrast between how dire edmond’s situation is (where eiden has to dubcon him) vs yakumo where his gem seems… less likely to kill him despite both clan members rejecting their gem.)

i don’t think yakumo trying to remove his gem would violate his ancestor’s contract. it would definitely hurt him if he managed to remove it. he would’ve probably lost his ear or even died from essence fluctuations. but, it wouldn’t have violated the contract, really, because his precious loved ones were still unharmed after his attempt. its kind of similar to olivine’s situation.

basically, the contract seems to function on a ‘no harm, no foul’ system

(also of note, although rei is in rough shape, he seems to have chipped off parts of his gem without a great change to his state? of course, rei isn’t exactly known for self-preservation, so who knows what the side effects might’ve been)

as for g/karu, theyre def an interesting case. eiden still feels ‘something’ when he finds them, so that indicates that huey’s essence is still inside them. but we don’t know if we’ve ever seen g/karu use an essence attack or something 🤔. (i’m def not an expert on the pups tho.) whenever he does tricks, he seems to employ yokai athlectism while someone else provides the special effects (specifically, i’m thinking about the yokai banquet and the current circus event).

it could be similar to dante’s situation where they can use their other sources of essence (the elemental spirits of fire and being a yokai, respectively), but they can’t/have a hard time using huey’s essence due a disconnect.

can you paypal me one ancient rusting coin

do you think the knife is aroused by penetrating soft flesh or is it just kinda whatever about it

I just noticed that if you find out the real meaning of Tequila Sunset while on a date with Lilienne and decide to reintroduce yourself as Harry (Disco Elysium spoilers incoming)…

She will call you Harry after the tribunal.

That is such a change from Idiot Doom Spiral, who expressly refuses to call us by our real name, even after we formally introduce ourselves.

In a way, then, I think Lilienne is our hope that we'll get better. A hope for a better future. Idiot Doom Spiral meanwhile, is the representation of what we were. What we can remain. What we can become, if we aren't careful.

And we can choose. We can tell people who we are. Harry, or Tequila Sunset, or we’re not really sure.

So though I must object to much of Mega Rich Light-Bending Guy's ideas, I have to agree with this:

Names can change the reading of a person.

They can change a person.

They can change us. Whether we try to reverse time, or end it, or push forward, despite everything.

Because remember: Our name means something.

It was meant to keep us safe.

(tags from @toptop-fuwafuwa-star) ooooo!! yeah that's v fitting for garukaru... and it def works considering their relative good health! it seems like his original pack is doing well in misty vale, so he'd be pretty much off the hook! plus, he did protect gramps/cashel to the best of his ability until the very end. to my knowledge, everyone who has a gemstone and wasn't an original clan member was born with it. yakumo was born with his, for example. so i lean pretty heavily towards the idea that the gemstone can only be transferred once the previous gemholder has died and 'transferred' the contract via bloodline. going in that direction, it was probably his grandpa (or other relative) who died before he was born that passed his gem onto him.

YESS!!! BIG FLOPPY EARS OLIVINE.... so big he can hide his face behind them....

rabbits are burrowers so please imagine baby bunnyvine digging random holes in the backyard

yeah!!! after reading the event, im even more excited about them as a duo. they have such fun chemistry! dante's a pretty difficult guy to get along with, but garu's the perfect dog for the job of being his friend ദ്ദി(ᵔᗜᵔ)

after this event, dante and garu are an adventure duo, right? this is the second intense crime(?) they'll have dealt with. lowkey, they've got the perfect groundwork for an adventure serial first adventure like: first adventure (solaria history) --> beach episode --> second adventure (yokai circus)

they really fit the mold of a hardboiled guy and his bright eyed companion. plus, out of all of the clan members, dante actually likes garu and respects his skills. garu can keep up with dante's rigorous standards and he's a cute puppy. perfect synergy. (technically, they're an adventure trio with eiden, but eiden is kind of a given lmao)
