ik these are just a bunch of sketches but i only found out about this like, Today, and i knew if i polished these up i wouldn't post it on time. anyways hello parkour civilization fandom week tag. I am very normal about villainwatt and love talking about them. Please come closer
cant believe i once posted here months ago whether i should make villainwatt nicer. this is parkour civilization antagonist yaoi bitch!!!!!! if anything i need to make it even freakier
honestly not even from a kismesis shipping context thinking about seawatt's feelings on the villain postmortem is very interesting, because why Wouldn't he hate him. The man who was arguably as responsible as the old man was for wiping his family and all of his peers off the face of the earth, with only him remaining to preserve their memory. And when the villain is freed by his sole surviving victim, he is almost immediately killed. Killed by the very technique that caused him to be sealed away in the first place. A cruel twist of fate; an indignation.
But in the same vein, would he feel some sort of warped sympathy for him, too? For being locked away and forgotten for so long, despite it all? Seawatt was alone when he ranked up to the master layer, theoretically until he found AJ. Seawatt was alone when he fled to the fighter layer, until he gathered the villain's fanatics in attempt to set him free. He had no one else to remember him by, so he instilled fake memories into every newly spawning player in civilization. Would he empathize with him for that, having no one you care for to pass on your memory, and instead forcing those around you to remember you from your actions, your impact, the more horrifying the better? We may never know.
- i think if the old man (who chose to stay in the afterlife) was like. pkv's designated guardian angel (ie. he watches over him when no one else is around) it'd be funny cuz it'd piss off pkv to no end. he'll reach for something and hear the old man's voice in his head and he'll get so ticked by it he'll start responding to him aloud. there have been multiple occasions where he was overheard seemingly (angrily) talking to himself. it's bad enough that he's forced to share a living space with blockhead #1 and blockhead #2, now he's gotta be cross-dimensionally supervised by the one who locked him away. Time is a flat circle and hell is infinite
- speaking of blockheads 1 and 2, they straight up do not believe him when he says he countered evbo's double 360 attack flawlessly. so he shows them and sure enough, to their shock and awe, both 360s were executed perfectly. wasn't even hard. it's the same effect as seeing an old guy claim he can do the bottle flip trick and then proceeds to do it first try
- on the bright side, i think if tabi also gets revived (which, she should be honestly) they'd get along like a house on fire. yes this Is partially tbcl brainworms speaking but also the dynamic is definitely more along the lines of "girl who's just vibing and her weird terrible influence old guy friend". pkv would see tabi do a 360 easily and immediately want to show her parkour races. she tells him about her encounter with the old man and he gets a kick out of it because why would he do that. he gives her his extra food cuz he doesn't need it. she sneaks him out of the house when the others are asleep/not around
rest is under the cut >:]
- there's not a really concrete way to describe pkv and aj's relation tbh. aj (who is totally Not jealous of him getting seawatt's attention) thinks he's weird and creepy but appreciates how cracked he is at parkour, while pkv thinks he's a little more competent than seawatt at parkour but just as full of talk. he also puts down aj's signature use of barrier blocks on several occasions, calling them a cheap trick and "beneath him". aj fires back by calling out pkv not finishing the last part of evbo's course in the final race (to which he just replies "that's different" and then refuses to elaborate). he does think barrier blocks are kinda cheap but in reality it's just amusing to watch the ex-champion get so riled up over it
- since he has nothing better to do a lot of time is spent building and running through practice courses. usually if the other two are somewhere else and he can't leave he can usually be found in the house hopping around on his courses like some weird gargoyle. it probably takes up most of his space. enrichment for the enclosure and all that
- when he's not running thru courses constantly he's doing an old person's favorite activity which is LYING DOWN. if there's Anything he's happy about with his situation, it's finally being able to actually lay down. after standing on chains and not moving for god knows how many years, having the opportunity to not be on your feet at all times is a gift. he will literally just lay on the hard floor by his practice course and sleep, he doesn't care. seawatt moved his bed to the ground floor so he'd stop sleeping on the floor all the time, since he wasn't sleeping upstairs anyways. it partially worked
- the other players are, understandably, TERRIFIED of him. shopkeeps especially. information about pkv's revival and residence on the master level is not entirely common knowledge as is, let alone the fact that he can't battle anyone—so if they see him pop in thru the door, they are already cowering and blubbering cuz they remember what he did to everyone. this results in stuff being a lot cheaper than usual. when the public is eventually slightly more aware of his existence they stop being like. drop dead scared shitless, but they're still really nervous and fidgety around him
- when they all got revived, seawatt found out he didn't have his house anymore (either ownership went to someone else or it was destroyed) so he pulled a few strings to get a bigger and better new house, and he secretly made sure to put pkv's room on the ground floor or close to it, so it wouldn't feel like being at the top of the temple all over again. that and also so seawatt wouldn't have to go up and down a buncha stairs (which is the reason he always gives)
- despite this, every so often pkv will go up to the roof at night and sit for awhile. looking out towards the horizon from the top of a building has a sick and twisted kind of nostalgia to it now—it was his homeostasis for a large chunk of his life, after all. it becomes his own quiet little retreat to sit and think. sometimes seawatt will also join him, like how he would on the netherite platforms in the afterlife. sometimes he goes up to the roof, only to find pkv having drifted off to sleep. sometimes, he'll even gingerly press his face to the top of his shattered mask or his cap and stay there for a few moments before leaving him there to rest. he is very lucky pkv has yet to wake enough to catch him doing it
