Grand-mère is so lucky she's already dead because she would have caught these hands. Anyways I'm so excited for the family, I'm rooting for them to find their happiness - LGL
Yeah, LGL, grand-mère is a bit problematic, to say the least. I am not without sympathy for her, especially if you read a little of her backstory, and consider the difficulty she would have faced as an unwed, single mother disowned by her family in the late 1890s. I think what she said to Josephine is true: she believes that she is in a position of power and in some way is bequeathing that onto her daughter, “saving” her from a life of poverty and dashed dreams by teaching her to exploit the prejudices placed on them for financial gain.
Of course what she is also doing is not only coercing her daughter into an immensely harmful situation for her, but in turn placing those societal expectations onto her instead of encouraging her to fight against them. In essence, she is doing what many mothers/fathers have done, which is to transfer their trauma onto their children. Josephine is in some ways trying to break that cycle for Violette, who she views much like her own daughter.
This of course creates another dynamic between them, one of fierce support and even displaced hopes and dreams. Josephine sees Violette almost as an incarnation of what she could have been, and as the 30s (and even the 40s/50s 👀) develops, this comes in contact with the often bleak state of reality as well as Violette’s own goals, which may or may not fall in line with those Josephine has for her.
Needless to say, this is the foundation of a long, ongoing dynamic that will shape both their lives for decades 😉

Cringetober day 4 : Angel x Demon
There's probably a angels and demons ocs I've had laying in the back of my mind for ages now, but I REALLY wanted to just draw an angel/demon au for some of my all time favourite gals : Hellebore (demon) and violette (angel)!
These two and their relationship does genuinely mean a whole lot to me, even if I don't talk enough about them on here...

(I took 1 1/2 week to do this XD)
Sooooooo, Here's my
Welcome Home-Sona Entry.
And a few alts & concepts:
Although according to the Org. Background of Violette, it was supposed to be an alarm clock, books and paper being stack. I was also supposed to draw the house but I guess that's a little too much. 😅[Edit: Willy is @differentdreamersweets Oc]
That's all of the info!

For the ask game!!! Diffo strays ppl😌😌👍
Mikhail-
What qualities does your OC most value in a friend? Loyalty? Shared sense of humour? Or something else?
Rashid-
How closely is their opinion of their own beauty (or lack thereof) linked to their confidence? Do they see themselves as more or less worthy of love or sex based on how attractive they feel?
Violette-
Does your OC find it easy to empathise with their enemies? Or do they see it as important to dehumanise them in order to combat them with sufficient determination?
Has your OC always had the same opinion of themselves or has this changed over time? Have they learned to love themselves - perhaps with the help of others - as their journey progressed? Or have the consequences of their actions only served to erode their sense of self-worth?
Katya-
Does your OC believe that it is important to love themselves in the first instance? Perhaps in order to be able to give and receive love authentically? Or because they believe first and foremost in "looking after number one"?
We are sad to announce that katya does not exist and all memories of her will be deleted shortly. We're sorry for any inconveniences.
Misha - Experiment 3.
What qualities does your OC most value in a friend? Loyalty? Shared sense of humour? Or something else?
Loyalty is the obvious answer. Misha is fiercely loyal, the right cause or not, and sometimes his loyalties conflict, i.e. escaping with Sem or staying. Kindness is also a strong contender. Its difficult to be kind, to help people. It isn't inherent to someone, they have to work for it, especially when you spend your life in the lab.
Rashid - Experiment 4.
How closely is their opinion of their own beauty (or lack thereof) linked to their confidence? Do they see themselves as more or less worthy of love or sex based on how attractive they feel?
He doesn't love how he looks, he doesn't adore his prosthetics, scars and birthmarks, but he doesn't mind them. Years ago, he used to dislike them, but Rashid grew used to them, grew to be OK with his lips, eyes and hands. He doesn't see himself as worthy of love cause of his fears, not because of his looks.
Violette
Does your OC find it easy to empathise with their enemies? Or do they see it as important to dehumanise them in order to combat them with sufficient determination?
Violette is ultimately a businesswoman. she's not above shady deals behind the scenes, like with Sem's escape, nor is she above turning a blind eye to her competitors if she gains things from it. Empathizing with them is a stretch and dehumanizing them would just lead to her making mistakes, Victor lost his eye cause of this after all.
Has your OC always had the same opinion of themselves or has this changed over time? Have they learned to love themselves - perhaps with the help of others - as their journey progressed? Or have the consequences of their actions only served to erode their sense of self-worth?
Not at all. She crawled her way up from the bottom, knees and hands bruised and bloody, only by doing that did she learn her worth. She's expensive and so is her love, lucky for Violette, she just so happens to have enough to love herself, even with guilt. Victor helped her, he saw her rise and did all he could to help her, and she ultimately saw his fall. She was willing to let him love her as much as she loved herself, but it didn't come through.
