Daphne and The Haters

TW: Hate, past abuse (not explicit but implied), negative self-talk

A/N: I do not own Violet or any of her children, they all belong to @jokerislandgirl32, I tried my best to write from her POV but any mistakes on context/accuracies/characterization are entirely my own. Also, the names used from the haters are meant to be funny and are not reflecting of anyone with these usernames

Daphne’s life was perfect. She was finally happy. She had to be, her life was as good as it ever had been. It didn’t matter that her dad didn’t say goodbye before he moved in with his new girlfriend Allison, who she doesn’t think likes her very much, and lives in another state now. Who cared that all of her ‘friends’ don’t seem to include her in anything anymore and say things behind her back. She didn’t mind being alone all the time, she had her phone to keep her company. Her internet followers were never mean to her and always seemed to multiply every time she checked her social media pages. They loved Daphne and she had nothing to worry about. Her life was truly a daydream. This is what Daphne was thinking about when she opened her Instagram page to see what the most recent comment was.

@/ImATrollWhoBulliesKids thought she was annoying. Maybe Daphne was a little bit annoying and nobody told her. @/IHateSuccessfulPeople thought she was an ugly attention seeker. Hundreds of comments flooded Daphne, nitpicking her for everything. There were anonymous comments too, telling her how awful she was without ever revealing themselves. Maybe Daphne wasn’t as good as she thought. She really wasn’t good at anything. Daphne decided that she would change herself to be what she thought her perceived audience would want her to be, and changed who she was. It would make the world love her more, it was worth it. It was worth it and Daphne was happy. It was what she always dreamed of. She had to do something drastic, something no one could expect, something different. Then she would be happy and be able to finally be who she had always wanted to be. She would be perfect.

Violet Varmitech was worried about Daphne. She knew the power words could have on somebody and how they could affect them, especially at a young age. She was no stranger to criticism, working in The Lost Colony Outdoor Drama. Her ex boyfriend, Travis, further contributed, nothing she ever did was good enough for him. She began to spiral, going into a dark place, until she met Zach again. He was able to remind her of the amazing parts of the world, and taught her to love again. She loved him and her life more than she could imagine now. Violet worried that Daphne was spiraling headfirst into that dark place, and nothing anybody said would get her out of it. She loved Daphne since the day they met, with Daphne arriving four days later than Donita’s due date. “Fashionably late” as she said. She loved Daphne’s determination and tenacity, and how she can get so focused on a task, much like her husband. Violet even secretly ‘shipped’ Daphne with her youngest son, Vallen. She could tell Daphne was changing. She saw her spending less and less time with her family, and more and more on her phone, alone, reading comments. The comments could be a vile place, and Violet could only imagine the horrid things people were saying about Daphne, someone so kind and determined, and what she was absorbing. She knew she had to figure out a way to teach her about the internet more and fast.

hi! I used to tweet sometimes about critical hit but I quit twitter so I’m telling you here how much I am loving the final arc of Void Saga! I love all the ways their choices have come back to bite them!my favorites are Sekhar and Dallen, but really everybody is a delight. also Drumstick is very fun.

also, the first tabletop I ever played in like 2015 was 4e, inspired by listening to critical hit, I GM’d very badly but I have since improved. I’m playing in a Lancer game soon and my GM who doesn’t listen to critical hit linked me to your Lancer videos and I was like “oh, that’s the guy whose show got me into tabletops in the first place ten years ago!”

and tabletop is such a delight, so thanks for that!

I’m glad you’re enjoying the end of The Void Saga, we worked hard to deliver a strong final season. Dallen definitely became a fan fave, Rob is good at playing kinda happy and kinda sad.

Love hearing that we got you into tabletops through 4e. We’re still waiting for a check from WotC for moving so much 4e product, eh, I guess years later they’re still sending review stuff to Major Spoilers. We’ll take what we can get.

Also glad to hear you’re getting into Lancer, and glad to hear the Lopez Family Variety Channel videos are getting out to people.

Thanks for listening and writing in, and congratulations on kicking Twitter.

Yes I’m procrastinating playing lords of shadow because the black knight boss fight scares me — so I finished colouring Dallen.

So here is a wip of day 3 for the ball

My friend Dallen ( @teacupsbar ) helped me make the dress since i was no good at making dresses.

The dress she made was inspired by @alegotic-fandoms

I was listening to this song...

And I thought it totally matched Daphne and Vallen's relationship, with him seeing through her 'cool girl' act right from the beginning.

Shh, I got you all figured out You need everyone's eyes just to feel seen Behind your make up nobody knows who you even are Who do you think that you are
