Alice Liddle: American McGee's Alice
MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING: THESE GAMES AND THIS POST WILL BE DISCUSSING THEMES OF S.A, PEDOPHILIA, MURDER, MENTAL ILLNESS, SELF HARM, PROSTITUTION, AND MEDICAL ABUSE.
Alice Liddle of American McGee's Alice and its sequel, Madness Returns, is a severely mentally ill character in the games she stars in. She endures trauma after trauma, with next to no assistance, alone. In this post we will break down what happened to her, her reactions, and how she developed.
Disclaimer: Despite mental illness being the main theme here, I will not be attempting to diagnose Alice, as I am not professionally trained and she does not have an official, canon diagnosis of any kind. I will however make inferences.
For those unaware, American McGee's Alice is a horror twist on Alice in Wonderland, following the protagonist Alice. In this first game, you play as 18 year old Alice Liddle, who from eight years old to that point has been living in Rutledge Asylum in England. The game begins with the player introduced to the catalyst of Alice being in the asylum: a house fire.
In this fire, Alice is the only one to survive from her family, with her parents and sister, Lizzie, dying in the fire. This causes a massive snap in Alice's mind as she watches the house burn and townspeople surround her.
In this scene we are also introduced to the idea that Alice was likely already mentally ill, as when the fire begins, what wakes her isn't the smoke or screams, its Hatter and March Hare screaming in her dreams about the fire, begging her to wake up. (However, its likely it was just a framing device, but we do see its what woke her.)
From then on, Alice spent her time in the asylum, nearly comatose. She was catatonic and would only speak in shrieks and shrill screams. She'd have seizures and episodes of hysteria before falling unresponsive and mute again. Her doctor's notes also describe an incident where she "wielded a spoon like a knife and the orderlies, then turned the makeshift weapon in her own arms".
Needless to say, the fire that killed her family severely traumatized Alice, and she struggles heavily with possible PTSD and survivors guilt.
Alice in the first game also expresses suicidal ideation, or at the very least a passive desire to die. She's heard saying, "Save myself? From death, is that it? Is that why I've come here? I'm not afraid to die! At times I've welcomed death..."
And, "Everyone I love dies violently; unnaturally. I'm cursed! Why go on? I'll just hurt others."
The latter of these quotes is indicative of her guilt; it shows she blames herself for not just her her family's deaths, but others, and believes those she grows close to will also die horribly if they stay around her. She expresses she thinks people are better off without her.
In regards to Wonderlands occupants and how they relate to her fragile and broken psyche... American McGee has stated that all in some way represent her fragments mind and emotions. How, I don't think is explicitly stated beyond the Queen, but I have theories:
Cheshire: Her subconscious and manifestation of Dinah in her mind. Dinah lead her to safety in the fire, showing the way out. Chesh is guide that knows more than Alice consciously knows, but things she's got hidden in her mind. He tells her the clues she's seeing and picking up on subtleties she can't. That's why he uses riddles.
Hatter: Hatter is obsessive and rambling. He's a sort of representation of her doctor in the asylum, after all he runs one himself. He's paranoid and obsessed with time and loathes mechanical malfunctions. He may very well be a sort of ego aspect, where the Queen is super-ego. He could also likely be the manifestation of Alice's own paranoia and frustration surrounding her own "malfunctioning" mind.
Queen of Red Heart: She is Alice. She is the part of Alice that causes her the most grief and torment. She is what keeps Alice locked in her psychosis; a malevolent manifestation of super-ego. Cheshire compares her to a cancer in the body, which must be excised or Alice would die.
Jabberwock: A creature who taunts Alice and accuses her of not caring about her family. He is what taunts her about their deaths and says that she was, "in dream land taking tea with friends", and she, "couldn't be bothered". He is her guilt and self anger and he is there to remind her of this guilt constantly.
Caterpillar: He provides her wisdom giver. He takes things she sees and can help her recontexualize them. He is similar to Cheshire, but more to the forefront. He is also seemingly the calm part of her mind.
Tweedles: looking identical to the orderlies in Rutlidge, the Tweedles are cruel to Alice and lack any higher intelligence beyond orders. They are childishly cruel and likely have something to do with Alice's self punishment.
Rabbit: More obsessed with time than Hatter, Rabbit is a mostly absent guide who rushes ahead of Alice and he's very, very fidgety. He likely represents her conflict between anxiety and comfort. The comfort being from him being based on her favorite toy, and his face being easing to her. But he's very paranoid about time and danger.
Duchess: Initially a manifestation of the cruel nurse in charge of her, Nurse D, Duchess is a violent cannibal. It could be argued her outfit initially resembles a nurses outfit too. Later in the second game, she is seen in more revealing clothes and no longer eats people, and prefers pig now. Her "overbearing goodwill" and appearance now more represents her nanny, Nan Sharp.
While I do not believe these games are a 100% accurate depiction of mental illness and trauma, they do a good job showing the struggle between one's self and the inner machinations of their mind as they struggle with their mental health, and struggle to learn to cope on their own.
The second game is much better about the direct correlation between Alice's real struggles and Wonderland falling apart.
In Madness returns, we see an older Alice struggling in therapy as her doctor, Angus Bumby, tries to make her forget her past. She wants to forget everything rather than continue to struggle with it. We see she's still being abused and exploited by Nurse Witless, who's blackmailing her.
In Wonderland, we see the Corruption and the pollution destroying Wonderland piece by piece as the Dollmaker (Bumby's influence and brainwashing) takes over her mind bit by bit. We see her remembering her childhood and the past Bumby tried to erase, and we see her piece the truth together as she slowly banishes the Dollmaker.
By the end of MR, we see a confident Alice, the pieces of her fragmented life and mind put back together as Wonderland blossoms and Bumby dies via a train after Alice confronts him with his crimes.
Tl;Dr: While imperfect in their portrayal of mental illness, PTSD, and more, American McGees Alice And A:MR depict the grittiness, the despair, and the pain that can come with these things fairly well. It also depicts a woman struggling but succeeding in helping herself and bettering herself. These games revolve around facing your issues head on and healing. Their use of symbology is fantastic in my opinion.

I don't know about DC's Dragon ladies being more complex in the 90s. That's when Shiva got on that "corrupt white heroes" kick starting with Chuck Dixon and when Jade nuked Qurac.
Sorry, my bad, I meant the 90s as in older comics, I chose that period because it's the middle ground for me in comics before the Great Edginess that came in the early 2000s. And yes, I still think that while very badly written, they were way more complex. Like I felt they at least were doing their own thing, instead now they ( Talia, Shiva, Shado, Chesh ect) are like the same character in different font. Most of the time in the modern comics they are just the ex/baby mama to go to when in needing of something "morally grey". And like they took their motivation, ideals and backstories and thrown them together. Shiva absolutely didn't want to be a mother and was way more on the side of good in her firts appearances, yet now she always loved Cass and lived in Asia, even if she was from Detroit (let's not talk about the whole David thing and how people treat it as consensual) , Talia who was in medical school and wasn't raised as an assasin is now the world deadliest woman. Shado, Who wanted to be a mother and raise her child in private, I think she was retired, basically turned into a Jade2.0.
Actually I think they all basically became Jade. Like the backstory was hers before. The struggle between her morals, wanting to live with her child but also being a danger, being raised as a weapon, all that was hers, but in modern comics all seems copypaste for these ladies. I think it is starting to get to Rose Wilson too. Like in a few years you will read how Lilith trained her to climb mountains since she was three.
Anyway, sorry for the long post, but I love my ladies so much, even with their messed up stories, and the modern narrative of "let's ignore everything this character has gone through in the past because I need them as a prop for one of the batboys" is really pissing me off.

Some additional notes
Hill Top Road is going to be a Nest equivalent. It felt fitting for Martin's story to start there. Annabelle is going to be the Pretender, but I'm unsure who is going to ge the Rain Coat Girl equivalent.
Since Jon was in a Noone situation, I left out a few locations. The Circus is one of the more obvious ones. Since I wanna save some for places Jon had been in his dreams before entering Nowhere.

i was going to make a giant post about the why about all of this, but i don't see a point. no matter what i do, i'm not going to be able to convince this person that i'm not faking DID and not a bad person for having DID, and it's getting to me.
but i'm gonna be honest, i'm debating leaving this blog entirely. i'm going to be leaving for a month, maybe two, to mull over that decision.
between the doxxing (which i was scared to talk about), the incorrect accusations, the talking behind my back and refusal to communicate directly, the incorrect rumours about a trauma-based disorder that were being spread on anonymous, losing endless friends, people using me for money, the blog stalking and seemingly endless obsessive behaviour over our previous host (which i also was scared to talk about), the did-specific ableist harassment... we've just had enough.
this blog was supposed to be fun, and i enjoyed my time here for the most part. but when it comes to a point where i'm having to call crisis lines every week just to have a stranger talk me out of suicide, i can't do it. no amount of rp is going to help me with that.
if you want to keep in touch, my discord is under the cut. we can rp there if you want, i don't mind.
to the people and friends who have stuck by me and helped me with the harassment, thank you. thank you, thank you, thank you. you're the reason why i'm still here -- you're the reason why i feel like i can still have faith in people.
and lastly, to someone specifically who will know about this, i'm sorry chesh got you caught up in all these feelings of despair. i'm sorry they broke up with you and caused you so much pain. one of your friends (i'm not sure who because it's been on anonymous) is responsible for deep, traumatising harassment and incorrect rumour spreading, and i hope you're able to get that sorted out and talk to them about why it's wrong. i hope whatever pain regarding chesh you're going through ends up getting better, please believe me on that. if this makes your friend angry, i'm sorry for that too.
#ooc.#hiatus notice.#suicide /#suicide ideation /#vent /#negative /#if you want to unfollow and then refollow if i come back i don't mind#until then -- see you

Some of you might now notice that our images look different in the pinned post under the cut! In case you didn't, here's the new drawings, done by @lloyds-department, because bun is so nice and wonderful for doing all this for me :)
Some of us look very different since they've last been added, so let me clear some things up!
1: Chesh and Bluetie had Sire change them into real fellas! They're now just one big version of the bugs they were full of. The wonders of magic!!! They did so cus they found love or something, I think? You'd have to ask them, hehe. I won't be doing that, though. T̶h̸e̶ ̷f̵e̷a̶r̸ ̶o̵f̸ ̶d̶e̴a̴t̷h̵ ̸s̶c̴a̷r̸e̵s̵ ̷m̶e̷ ̸t̸o̷o̶ ̶m̴u̴c̸h̴ ̴f̵o̶r̵ ̸t̷h̸a̸t̴!̴!̸
2: Mandi got a wig? I think that's what it is. ...yeah! Apparently being bald's no fun.
3: Blair told Sire to change her into a full ant! ...he couldn't do it, but in a weird turn of events, an angel did it instead!!!
... don't tell her I know this, but she found this world's version of her corpse. Her spirit visits her sometimes. She's letting her take her place, so she can technically see her parents again. I'm not supposed to know that! Shhhh!!!
4: Sire's a full guy now! That's, uh, basically it!! Surgery, yippee!!!
...aaaand I think that's it! Aside from Chesh dressing in skirts and stuff like that, lately. Who knew he liked those? Not me!!
Anyway, have a good day you all! I love you!!!

Info
aka no i am not calling it an introduction bc i've been vaguely on tumblr for several years, at this point.
heya! the name's louise, or chesh. variants on cheshire are also accepted. my pronouns are she/her/they/them.
i write fantasy, mostly. or, well, everything i write is fantasy related in some way. urban fantasy, fantasy horror, fantasy sci-fi- you get the point. i also write romance and comedy which is, you guessed it, also fantasy related in some way. i have a type, what can i say?
most of my projects are relatively small, mainly because i don't spend a lot of time on them. that list includes daily life of a witch PI and wolfsnare avenue.
my main project, and personal burden, is much larger in comparison.
it's called...
farious pages, aka tsenpha, aka why the hell is this thing still growing?
there's no real way to describe tsenpha, at least not one that'd be put on a book if i ever decided i wanted to publish it (which, as of right now, i don't), since it's less one singular story and more an amalgamation of different stories, with different characters and different genres, set in various different countries within the world of tsenpha.
the majority of the stories in tsenpha lean more on the generally light hearted, if occasionally dramatic and angsty, romantic comedy side of things, with a semi-reasonable amount of action technically thrown in there for variety (examples include mission statement not as advertised, an adventuring party walks into a tavern, and convenient marriages of the royal kind). however, some of them do stray more towards drama and angst (examples include harvest of light, the cursed grudge, and it's about the journey). a happy ending is, usually, guaranteed because i don't care for sad ones.
other places you can find me/sideblogs
incorrect cheshire tales - an incorrect quotes blog for various stories, including tsenpha, that hasn't been updated in a while.
lampea by lamplight - a tsenpha sideblog where i post character profiles, writing, moodboards and other assorted stuff (probably). a lot of it gets reblogged to the main blog and a lot of it is reblogged from my main so.
