Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
can you please share your headcanons of the queen (Julie Kostenko)
I am so glad you asked! Julie is an interesting character in my opinion. I don't like that a lot of Julie was defined as being insane, music loving, and Frank obsessed. That creates one flat character. I want to expand upon that with her personality while also staying true to what is already there. I want to dig up the reason WHY she is like the way she is.
Julie might be insane but she is still a person who feels emotions. I don't want to make her this UwU woman either. She is cruel and heartless, and that is never to be forgotten. She does not deserve forgiveness for what she has done. Even if she has her human traits, she is still a bitch deep down. She won't think twice about crushing somebody emotionally and mentally. It was stated that even before the fog Julie was cruel and had fantasies of killing people. Her personal dream was to turn Ormond into The Legion's personal nightmare playground.
That being said, personally I think Julie and the rest of The Legion could have been redeemed before The Fog. They all pretty much just really felt abandoned by the world. Julie, just like the rest just wanted somebody to care about her. Her mental downslide only got worse when she met like-minded people with similar issues. All that pent up anger together with nobody there to give them good guidance made monsters. The Legion is like a testament to what bad parenting does to what could have been good people. Now that is 4 people who spiraled into madness.
I want there to be emotional complexity to Julie. There should be more to her than enjoying hurting others and kissing Frank. She is much more than edgy angst. I want her to have very real emotions! At the end of the day, she just wanted a family that loves and supports her. Julie had to craft her own family and then named it The Legion. They are all really sad and let it out in the forms of drug use, violence, thievery, vandalism, arson, you name it. Their hatred never was processed in a healthy manner.
I know this turned into general The Legion over just Julie, but like, I think that they need to be more than cardboard outline characters.
EDIT: Bruh I found a typo. I wrote this out at 1 AM. Don't mind me. I meant to put, Julie won't mind to crush somebody emotionally and physically. For some reason 1AM brain went emotionally and mentally.
