TWS FOR KIDNAPPING, TRAUMA, MEMORY LOSS

Silly shitpost animatic of Veneticus, Willow, and Jonathan—

[veneticus-and-willow-quotes]

Willow, while stargazing in front of the tents shes camping with Tim in: "..Tim?"

Tim: "Yeah, Willow-tree?"

Willow: "Do you think.. I'll ever be satisfied?"

Tim: "..heh—no. I mean, you can't ever seen to get enough of me. I don't see why you would be."

Willow, sadly: "That's.. not really what I mean. I just—I always felt so desperate while I was still in school. I grasped at clubs, volunteer activities, or being a class representative—and.. even a track runner for my last 2 years there. I took as many courses on languages, mathematics, or.. practically anything in College—and as decent as I was at those, I didn't really compare to everyone else in my class. I joined the Royal Marines because my father suggested it, and.. even now, I.."

Tim, concerned: "..you what?"

Willow: "I don't feel.. satisfied. I don't know what to do. Honestly, I've considered going out with a few people—since.. I just thought, maybe—love would satisfy me or something. But even when I tried going out with a few people, it.. didn't get rid of how unsatisfied I was."

Tim: "..."

Willow: "..sorry. I didn't realize I was—"

Tim: "No, I just—is that why you've seemed a bit upset this whole time? I thought maybe you were just stressed from stuff in the Marines, but I didn't know you were struggling with this."

Willow: "I'm—sorry. I didn't—really know how to express it to you without being sudden. But, I ended up bringing it up without warning anyway.."

Tim: "No, no! Its fine. Just.. hey, I know what its like to want to find answers. A lot of people do. My little brother Danny does too sometimes. But—you aren't really going to find it if you keep forcing yourself to look. If anything, it seems like the Royal Marines have been making that feeling worse—given how you've been talking about them."

Willow: "..hmph.."

Tim: "See? You aren't even trying to deny it! I know maybe it would go against what your dad said, but.. maybe you should just—quit."

Willow: "I—I want to quit, honestly. But—I'm just so worried about how hes going to react if I do. I know he values the military a lot—"

Tim: "And I don't really think that matters. You need to value yourself more! If anyone gets mad at you for quitting, you'll have me to turn to."

Willow: '"..mmph.." (She pauses, seeing theres no way out of convincing him otherwise. Half-lying, she speaks while looking away.) "..maybe.. I'll think about it."

Tim: "Good. Now, why don't you go back to telling me what you've been up to? Besides—the Royal Marines."

Willow: "..yeah. Yeah." (She sighs, and begins to talk about her visit to Jonathan.)

7 years later..

(Willow looks up at the sky outside of the Magnus Institute—dissociating.)

Willow: "..(Inhale—exhale..)"

Melanie, walking up from behind: "..you alright, Willow-tree?"

Willow, freezing up: (Pauses) "...yeah. Yeah. I'm just.. thinking."

Melanie, sligntly worried: "Wanna come inside and have a coffee? You might feel better.. inside."

Willow: "Su—sure. Sure. I'll.. be inside in a bit."

Melanie: "Alright.. uh.. hey.."

Willow: "..hm?"

Melanie, awkardly but genuine: "I know things are hard, and I.. get it. I know what its like to lose someone. So—if you—need any help, I'll be in your corner.. or for you to turn to."

Willow: "..."

Melanie: "Um—I'll be going inside now. I'll be in the break room with some coffee if you need me."

Willow: "..su—sure. Thank you."

(Melanie goes back inside, shutting the door.)

(..Willow puts her face in her hands, letting out a shaky sigh that makes her seem like shes about to cry. She looks up, her face fixed into a determined one.)

Willow, trying to calm herself: "..you can do this, Willow-tree. You can do this."

For the actual animatic I'll make of this dude (and Willow) to Love In Paradise—what are some good ideas to make him intimidating/more antagonistic? Since hes actively breaking her boundaries on purpose for no reason other than it amusing him—and also to make her more vulnerable so he can disrespect her as much as she wants once she stops fighting back, and erasing her memories throughout basically the whole thing— (This also is in her POV after all, so he'll definitely be VERY frightening in this even if he seems friendly at first.)

Have him chase her around the whole time.

Have him physically restrain her himself at some points.

Give him more of a shadow over his face for this animatic.

Make him stand taller than her for most of it.

Make him always get uncomfortably close to her.

Make him do c r e e p y expressions.

Have him lurking in the background for some shots.

Have him mock her loved ones multiple times.

Have him mock HER multiple times.

Have him appear suddenly a lot (for creepy factor.)

[veneticus-and-willow-quotes]

Willow: "..you know, Jonathan, I.. really hate being touched. At—least I've come to hate it after a while."

Jonathan: "..how come?"

Willow: "I.. I don't know. I know that before Desolatus, I was fine with it. I didn't mind being near other people—I would let people hold me, I'd let people put their hand on my shoulder, I'd let people hold my hand. It didn't matter to me if people touched me or not—considering I saw no reason to tell them to stop. But—after.." (She hesitates.) "..after.. he.. did what he did, and after I was stuck there for so long, I just.. how can I not be held without thinking of how he would embrace me even when I pushed him away over and over? How can I let someone lean over me—when all it does is remind me of when he stood over me as I shook in terror while memories of battle felt like they were being stabbed into my mind? How can I let someone put a hand on my shoulder—when all it does is remind me of the feeling of pure terror I felt at the realization that he had still found me even after I hid from him? How can I let someone hold my hand when it just—reminds me of when he'd make me go to places even when I didn't want to—?"

Willow, noticing shes been rambling: "I'm.. I'm sorry. I just.. can't really put it into proper.. I can't really focus on being concise and coherent about him when everything about—him—just makes me so.. angry, and.."

Jonathan: "It's—It's fine. It's fine. I.. understand. Is.. that why you seemed so quiet after..?"

Willow: "Somewhat. It—wasn't her fault. I just know that when I felt her hand touch my shoulder, it felt.. I didn't.." (She pauses, seeming afraid.) "I—I don't know! It felt such a feeling of dread, and.."

Jonathan, softly in an attempt to calm her down: "..right. I get it, I get it—" (He scoots away, trying to calm her down without scaring her.) "We don't need to talk about it right now. I know its been hard since you got away from there. Why don't you get some rest? It might be better for you, since today's been stressful for all of us.:

Willow: "I—think I'll do that." (Smiling bitterly, as if to imitate her childhood self.) Thank you lot's, Jonny."

Jonathan, laughing barely: "..of course, Willow."

(Willow leaves the room, to go find the private room Jonathan left for her—which also happens to be the same one Martin stayed in while hiding from Jane Prentiss at the Archives. Jonathan pauses, and sighs.)

(The tape ends. Later, another one clicks on, and Jonathan seems to have gone back to his office. He now speaks aloud to himself in a soft tone, as muffled speaking between Melanie and Goergie comes from outside.)

Jonathan: "I'm.. not against the idea of her resting. I know she's been dealing with a lot. I can't help but—worry though. She always seems to try finding ways to hide from all of us. She—seemed like she was ready to run if she had to earlier, when I went in there to see if she was alright. Her eyes seemed so.. wide—like she was seeing someone else entirely speak to her in that moment. She seemed very relieved when she was told she could go back to sleep." (He pauses.) "Sometimes, it.. feels like she IS hiding from us, or at least trying to. And whenever someone 'finds' her, she always seems to expect the worst. I have no idea what really goes on inside my cousin's head—I really don't. But I know I hate seeing her like this.. I'm—going to try talking to her later, if I can. Or.. if she doesn't try to rush me away from her."

(Jonathan sighs again.)

Jonathan, sadly: "Recording ends."

(The tape clicks off.)

Little side note:

'Thank you lots, Jonny.', is something Willow used to say a lot to Jonathan either in her letters to him while they were young children, or during her visits to him. Though she would always add a apostrophe in the middle of the t and s in lot's for seemingly no reason, which Jon found amusing. Occasionally though, even while they're older, Willow references it or jokes about it—and Jon occasionally makes little jokes about it as well. Despite everything, they are very close with one another, and are the closest family member the other has (considering Willow finds out her father is also gone when she gets back—due to him apparently being missing after going back to the air force, and never coming back after a battle he has with an opposing millitary force—no one knows if hes alive or dead, though Willow isn't sure how to feel about it since even if he had good intentions and seemed to care about her—he did kind of shove her into the millitary after repeatedly trying to convince her to join, so shes more so just upset that the millitary even managed to steal her dad from her too. While her father was ignorant to the darker parts of the military, he still did contribute to a lot of bad things in it even if he did seem to think it was justified, which is why shes confused on how to feel about it.)

Nikola x Veneticus doodle page!! Filled with some extra details I had in mind for them./lh

TWS FOR DOLLS, UNCANNY VALLEY, BEHEADED PEOPLE, GORE, BLOOD, IMPLIED MURDER AND MURDER ATTEMPT, KIDNAPPING, PUSHING BOUNDARIES, SHELLSHOCK, VENETICUS IS A HORRIBLE PERSON (AS USUAL), DEATH, SADISM, FLASHBACKS, IMPLIED PTSD, ETC.

So, I think for these two, Nikola would probably meet him by somehow accidentally washing up on his shore—perhaps if shes thrown into the ocean somehow. Curious, he sees her, and upon taking her in, he immediately starts to examine her. She is both nervous and flustered (since she knows damn well who he is and isnt sure how the hell shes gonna get out of this situation, and she also realizes how damn pretty he is upon getting a better look at him)—while he is so fascinated with her and taken with her appearance that he both doesnt notice her fear and doesnt care. Regardless, he intends to keep her since he is so captivated with her—and even purposefully gets close or acts like hes going to harm her when he doesnt really intend to anyway. She can clearly see hes fucking with her though, and snaps at him—which he responds to in his usual way by repeatedly intensifying his behaviors so she'll give up at some point. Despite this, she doesnt give up, and keeps resisting. He realizes shes not going to quit, so he agrees to free her, with the condition that he wont take her again should she come back—and that he'll help her if necessary. Low and behold, she comes back to visit more than once—and they eventually become friends (always giving eachother gifts, helping eachother out, etc). And then at some point transition into lovers, being very romantic with eachother all the time. Failing to not blush at even the mention of eachother, rambling about eachother constantly, being very clingy, etc.

When Nikola eventually dies though, Veneticus learns through her visits eventually stopping, and Jonathan telling him so. So, he goes into a depression of his own—and projects this onto Willow for the short remaining time he has her by being a little more sadistic with her and even giving her vivid memories of everything he did to her on the Island to the point where they feel as bad as she does whenever she has shellshock. Even if his feelings are valid, he is still very much not a good person, and makes that very evident with everything he does.

..what would you call their dynamic though?/j/nsrs

Healthy (surprisingly).

Slightly healthy with issues.

Unhealthy.

What would be a better idea to flesh both Vene and Willow out? (Will still do sketches of facts about them, but I did have other ideas—) 1. A full on ask blog about them both. 2. Seperate ask blogs for both of them to flesh them out. Or— 3. A 'quote' blog about them both. Not really like an incorrect quote thing, since its not referencing anything? But it'd be short posts of dialogue with them both in the same fashion to show stuff about their dynamic while on the Isle, stuff about Willow's character, stuff about Veneticus' character, etc.

1.

2.

3.

I may do a little video that just describes the lore of Desolatus (the isle that took Veneticus) and Veneticus in general (though it will also include Willow's lore) in a nutshell—but if I do, should it all just be in one video? Or should there be seperate parts for each part of the lore?/lh

Put it all in one video.

Make seperate parts.

Willow, feeling of Melanie's forehead while Melanie is sat at her desk in her office: "You're sick, Miss King. I think that's obvious enough."

Melanie: "So—what? I'm fine. I can make it through the day—"

Willow: "No—you can't. You've clearly been out of it all day, and are in need of care. Maybe that mentality would be tolerated if we were in the military right now, but we aren't."

Melanie: "..well, the military sounds like a shitty place then—"

Willow: "Exactly. Which is why I say you should be getting some rest."

Melanie: "..well, so what if I do?! Its not like Elias is just going to let us leave anyway."

Willow: "..that—may be true. But—I do think even if we can't leave this place yet, it would be best to get as much rest as you can. If you'd like, Miss King, I can.. offer you my space in the break-room for a while."

Melanie: "Wh.. really? But—don't you like staying in there?"

Willow: "Yeah. But.. I think your health is more important than my stupid comfort. Come on—" (She wraps an arm around Melanie, and lifts her up. Melanie slightly gasps in surprise, both from not expecting it—and how much physically stronger Willow was than she expected.) "—I can take you there."

Melanie: (Chuckling nervously)"Woah—wait—I don't need to be assisted there. I can get there just fine."

Willow: "Are you sure—? I don't want you to maybe faint from exhaustion if I don't help you."

Melanie: "It's—it's not that bad! Trust me. I'll be fine.."

Willow: "Well.. if you insist. Just—let me know if there's anything I can help with. I'll see if maybe we have any chicken soup in the back. That might help you feel better. And I'll.. see if we have any herbal tea as well."

Melanie: "Um.. great. Thanks.."

Willow, blushing as she walks away: "Uh.. you're welcome, Miss King."

(Willow walks away to the kitchen in the Institute, and Melanie stands still.)

Melanie: "..she's a lot more shy than I thought she'd be." (Melanie sighs.) "I guess I'll be going to the break-room then.."
