a concentrated breakdown of the general whereabouts & actions of veronica each season.

prologue

the sawyers had settled in loch nora a handful of years prior to the birth of their only child, veronica. while frank was from ohio, doris, who had been born and raised there, insisted on moving back to her hometown to start their family. frank flourish and partnered with hawkins’ top law firm, lifting and embellishing the sawyer family reputation that much more. with small town politics in play, the contrast between doris’ status and that of her sister joyce’s drafted a rift between the families. this distance only furthered veronica’s isolation and the stunting of her social experiences. relatively ostracized at school, her only friends were found in neighbor betty finn and, to a lesser extent, the daughter of her father’s business partner tom holloway ( who was a couple years too many her senior to be any kind of playmate ). the closest to a shared event with her cousin will came with the 1982 hawkins middle school science fair, where veronica took first prize despite her begrudging entry.

book one: 1983

the disappearance of will shook veronica enough to draw her out of her routine. she is personally devastated at the prospect of losing someone she newly feels she had yet to get a chance to really know and furious at the way people in school dismiss the situation. throughout the week. her anger only grows when her parents show a similar disconnect toward the gravity of the situation. at school she acts out, starts things with other students that comment on will disparagingly. her distaste for her parents grows. in response, veronica inserts herself in the search despite police and town’s strong stance that sweeping the woods for a missing boy was no place for another child ( and his cousin, at that ). still, veronica shows up each time and is consequently sent home but opts instead to continue her search on her own. on this self - inflicted search, she runs into the boys just before running into jane. after seeing them home and briefly checking in with her, veronica leaves. primarily in this season, veronica is a thorn in hopper’s side in her efforts to console and assist her aunt joyce. while she inherently believes her aunt, jane’s confirmation that will is alive drives that faith even harder. following the sight of will’s ‘body’ being removed from the water, veronica drives to the byers’ with hopper and witnesses joyce’s vehement refusal to accept what she’s being told. from this point on, with the town’s stronghold that joyce has lost it, veronica’s parents bar her from seeing her aunt as frequently as she had in the days preceding. this leaves veronica with the party for the remainder of the season where her main focus in on bringing will home and protecting jane. FOCAL DEVELOPMENT: veronica’s transition from being an isolated loner to being able to trust others and work with them. FOCAL DYNAMICS: joyce, hopper, jane, lucas, dustin, mike, will

book two: 1984

over the year following, veronica has grown a lot closer to will and the party as a whole, notably mike. this friendship is the first experience of genuine understanding and a stunning lack of projection, leaving veronica to be fairly attached to party leader. compared to the last season, she is noticeably more warm, upbeat, and especially more lively. she is more at home at the wheeler’s and byers’ houses respectively. veronica is slow on welcoming max due to her focus on mike and will ( as well as mike’s obvious irritation ), but the two form a fairly quick bond to one another. despite empathizing with max, she doesn’t say much to mike regarding his treatment of her as she’s more concerned with him and his coping of the loss of jane. on a brief but lighter note, veronica has taken to investigating joyce’s new beau on the side ( spoiler: she approves ). the relationship she forms with nancy and karen are both positive. she goes to nancy with her worries and to karen for the missing affection and affirmations her own mother fails to greet her with. she throws herself into assisting with will and with everything else party faces. this season she is visibly more determined and prepared, bringing her father’s handgun with her at the first sign of danger ( to the surprise of everyone when she eventually does pull it out of her bag during the scene in the house ). FOCAL DEVELOPMENT: the transition from the anger she had previously to the steadfast focus on fighting for newfound friends, allowing herself to really be a part of something. FOCAL DYNAMICS: mike, will, max, nancy, karen, lucas, dustin

book three: 1985

the summer of ‘85 finds veronica and mike in the midst of teenage love. veronica is more animated than ever, though her relationship with her parents has suffered immensely. where she is playful, affectionate, and cooperative in the company of her friends, at home she is spiteful, rebellious, and argumentative. her time is split unevenly between mike in friends, but her bond with jane is stronger than ever. veronica and max, when together, are near inseparable. her diary entries are shorter and more positive. over the past six months, veronica’s fresh view of steve makes him her new confidante, effectively replacing the newly occupied nancy and offputtingly behaving karen for the time being. while i am still working out the fine details, there’s not much for veronica action-wise this season. she is with the party for the entirety of the season. her main worry this season is in the mystery surrounding heather holloway, someone that has been in veronica’s life since she can remember. while their relationship was far from perfect, heather’s loss forced veronica to see just how important she had been to her. FOCAL DEVELOPMENT: mostly builds on a similar theme to previous season. veronica can more easily develop relationship with those around her. she is even more willing to jump into danger for people and has to genuinely face death for the first time. FOCAL DYNAMICS: mike, max, jane, heather, steve, will, lucas, dustin

epilogue (as of now)

veronica struggles to process and cope with heather’s death and does not mention it to anyone ( save, perhaps, mike ). hopper’s death also weighs on her, though her means of dealing with that death is by throwing herself into consoling and caring for jane. with those blows dealt, she struggles especially with the byers moving away. by this point, she considers them more of her home than the sawyers. once they leave, veronica’s attachment to mike intensifies, as does her friendship with max.

F*reE*blem games are not for me so I will be returning/refunding them. Atleast the character designs are cool lmfao. It's still not enough for me to stand the gameplay mechanics tho . .

#🌸 : personal !#womp.

I have to grip my face and be like people aren't inherently dumb you just want to assert control by pretending you're smartest in the world.

But then someone will do something with no attention whatsoever and OH. Do I ever want to be a jackass snob for no reason. I shant.

#i requested a work item and was given a version of it that is not usable for my job #my fault for not being specific but i want it to be theirs for not thinking about it at all #womp.#this is a vent post ;p

Lacing up my leather feet prisons for the day and going to a strictly scheduled brain expansion facility that isn't even that effective

why can't I sit in the field behind home with a sketchbook on my knees and a pencil in my hand, not to draw just to listen to the birds

jaxon is a cliche in that he does not do commitment.

but he subverts the gender stereotype in that he motherfucking loves intimacy. i mean like... craves it. he’ll be the sweetest, softest, cutest one night stand you ever had. you meet him at a bar, and you wonder if he’s your boyfriend by the morning.

this often gets him into some trouble. he’s the type to have exclusive friends with benefits. if he’s sleeping with someone more than once, on any kind of regular basis, he will not sleep with other people. for him, its a thing of respect, and because he genuinely enjoys getting to know people. however— that is not commitment. jaxon still views an arrangement like that as largely casual, and doesn’t expect exclusivity from his partner. it’s just what he does. so while he can very much act like a boyfriend (texting, facetime, dinner dates, cooking for the other, flowers, affection, intimacy), he is very much not a boyfriend.

yeah, it’s stupid i know. but here’s why—

jaxon is far more insecure that nearly anyone will ever see. he’s extremely self-hating. and so he loves intimacy because it is a validation for him, a reminder that ‘oh yeah. other people do like me.’

but. commitment terrifies him. beyond his issues with love & relationships (bc of his parents, examples growing up, and his own romantic past), commitment terrifies him because he is certain that if he gets too close to someone he cares about, they will eventually see the “truth” about him. they’ll see him the way he sees himself. and a confirmation of his own monstrosity, esp from someone he cares about, is far too horrifying a risk to take.

tl;dr— jaxon loves intimacy because it reminds him of the good in himself, and it makes him feel worthy of affection & positive attention. he hates commitment because he’s convinced it will eventually lead to someone he cares about seeing him the way he sees himself (and jaxon fucking hates himself).
