#tw personality disorder

[reborn-ahit-au]

Can we know more about the various bosses and mini bosses in your AU? Like Vanessa?

Okay this took me a while to awnser because i was trying to figure out how, but i think i can answer on vanessa.

First things first, due to the way that the Subcon story changed during development, Vanessas story feels really unfinished. There seems to be no reason for her to have just snapped besides the love. Which i guess works from a story telling point but i don't like it. Anyways, let me tell you what ive come up with by now.

Vanessa has some undiagnosed mental issues, most likely some form of personality disorder. Im not fully set on it, but she deffintly had problems she needed help with that she did not get.

The zombie curse that is present in the curse dlc has run in her family for generations. If you were to look back at paintings of them, all royal members would wear gloves. The ice powers however are unique to her.

Before her meltdown she was loved by the people, they adored her. She kept part of tbe forsest in this permanent winter wonderland. (Not the icy stuff you see in game, but instead a beautiful display of ice and snow)

Occasionally she would make ice sculptures, often for events and festivals. Due to being made out of magical ice and not normal ice, these would never melt. Not untill she decided to destroy them.

She was not very big on reading or really learning about royal duties in genral. She did enjoy baking though, often getting along with the Royal chefs.

She also enjoyed gardening and would spend many days perfecting her garden, it was beautiful.

Now lets move to after the breakdown.

After her magic freezes most of the forest, she retreats to her manor and doesnt leave. She doesnt even go into the garden that she had loved so much.

She has a few of her own minons, mostly headless statues that protect her manor and other areas important to her. They are mostly mindless without their heads. (There is one statue with a head, they are practically her advisor.)

She doesnt quite register that all of this was her fault. She knows she had a part to play, but she doesn't understand it all. She actully thinks it was snatcherss fault.

If you were to get close enough you coulf make out all the details of her still there, albeit incased in shadow. Her hair is quite tangled, not taken care of much any more. One eye is permently closed, always crying. The other looks quite insane, always darting around paranoid. Her dress is tattered and worn, but still faintly green.

She's gone a bit insane from her isolation, often talking to the ice statues and pretending they responded. She's very lonley.

When Hat and Bowie arive, she flips between desperetly wanting them to stay, and wanting them to leave her alone and get out of her manor. It does not help that they are children.

Now after the reset.

She had a feeling that something wasnt right, theat someone had broken in, yet there was no evidence of anything. She even enters the attic for the first time in many years and looks inside the chest of valuables. The strange glowing relic (time peice) that the statues had brought her was still there.

It's a few days after the reset when she finally leave her manor for the first time since the meltdown. Granted its not far, she only enters the garden but its a huge step.

The garden has fallen into a sad state, she quickly started to fix things up, practically moving on instict. It was refreshing to do things. though she did accidently break a few stems, out of practice.

It will be slow, but she has a possible path to improovment.

Let me know if there are other bosses you would like info on, im still fleshing some stuff out but I'd love to explain things i do have!

"It's all in your head." - Thank you Janette, that's why it's called mental illness. It cannot be in my ass.

pls don’t flirt with me i want to be nonchalant so bad but i unfortunately crave connection so intensely that i will give you my entire soul and forgive you over and over until i’ve lost myself completely and feel like i’m drowning

[sleeplessv0id]

maybe in another universe, I can ask for help when I need it.

[youwillleaveme]

they will replace me so easily and never remember who i even was

[commonzinnia]

maybe i wasn’t meant to be loved

“whats wrong with you” - a lot actually

boy it would be nice to be able to google something related to personality disorders, psychosis, intellectual disabilities, autism, DID/OSDD, etcetera without finding majority articles that are like “how to deal with a person with X” “how to cope with your child with X” “how to spot someone faking X” “can people with X be cured?”
