[reznova]

sometimes i remember ran and i plotted makarov's big entrance to julia's life -- not that brief bar room meeting when they were young and on leave and not sure how they would come to be so important to one another, when she was just a pretty thing for him to want and he was just another brute come to roost -- in murdering a man who put his hands on her.

and i realize.

makarov is julia's housecat, desperately trying to win affection through bringing her all manner of creepy crawly as trophy.

a few reboot julia points

was not rescued by military interference this time, but the intervention of a certain crime family that her father had earned the ire of. with a healthier outlet to express her gratitude for her salvation, julia is a slightly better adjusted person in some respects. her feelings towards zhenya alkaeva, known as the katipo, is not the all-consuming need to worship that she feels for a soldier in her mainverse.

her mental illness and deeper traumas are all still present, however. still handled through medication and therapy, which she is still a brick wall against up to the point she meets tin’s therapist oc. from there progress is... happening, no matter how slowly.

is an mi6 operative this time around, taking a more hands on approach to ultranationalist movements outside of the united kingdom. still the guile anti-villain we all know and love to hate, though. probably working as a liaison and handler of assets for our main characters, under the codename phoenix, and interacting with price and co largely through third parties. 

my main makarov has not watched the new series yet so frankly i... have no idea what their relationship, if any, will be this time around. it’s possible that the cracks that makarov used to slip into her life and take control will be absent this go round. or perhaps he will simply make another entrance. i can’t say but right now i’m operating under the assumption the two have not yet met and she’s still more loyal to england than her motherland, outside of her debt towards the alkaeva crime family.

where she enters her mainverse already quite broken by rampant xenophobia and double standards against her russian origins, i think here it will come about gradually in the narrative. maybe she won’t turn traitor out of a need to protect herself. maybe she’ll find her way to the same point her mainverse self does. the beauty of rp is idk and i get to find out.

will still kill a man for looking at her yura funny. please assume in any verse in which tin’s yuri exists, she can, will, and probably has killed for that man.

[reznova]

Original series Julia and Yuri are very much comorbidity and selfless love as Tin and I characterize it. Two people who normally would not take certain risks putting their necks on the line for one another. A constant source of support and safety for one another. Something that defies all professional boundaries and finally gives Julia something to lose outside of herself.

Remake Julia and Yuri is Julia marching her way across Russia to take her brother by the back of the shirt and drag him home because, quote, ‘Mama had the chefs make your favorite tonight.’ They are still ride or die for one another, but there’s more of that edge of an actual sibling relationship that isn’t built on them martyring themselves for one another if it comes to it.
