aaand obligatory in case someone else doesn't get to it: what kinds of things do you want to do with villanelle? or maybe more specific... what kind of dynamics would you like to explore with her, is there anyone you really want to throw her at?

all i really want to focus on is my “villanelle becomes a vine star” plot.

no but okay i’ve already talked about some of her stuff re: GRACE in a different ask, so i won’t get into that too much here, but definitely wanna do some stuff with that!! and kinda see what she gets involved with because of it

in the meantime though i’d like to do some more freelance contract stuff with her too? like, the thing she had going with will was pretty fun... it’s hard to predict what kind of opportunities might crop up for that in the future (depends on who wants who killed,) but yeah! or if i don’t get a lot of that kind of stuff, honestly it’d be fun to have villanelle like, accidentally get involved with or hired for something that’s a little more unconventional for her, like having to tail or protect someone. or some stupid small thing that would put her in a completely different context than normal, like teaching someone a language or something like that. maybe she’ll have the opportunity for that since paris is a big denny location and not a lot of people on denny actually speak french,

i think i’ve talked a little bit about this before but it would also be fun to do some kind of... longer term plot?? where she has to maintain an alias or at least some kind of pretense to get close to someone for ~a job~. how that would end depends on who it is and what we plan but like, i’ve always wanted to do a plot like that in general tbh

or for a smaller, more casual dynamic idea: giving her like, some kind of semi-friendly rivalry with a neighbor (someone needs to fill that old lady’s shoes) or even like... a roommate if the circumstances were right. that would be complicated because villanelle’s living situation is complicated. it would either have to be like... someone who moves into her metropolis apartment for some reason and she has to Deal with that while not really actually living there OR someone living with her in paris, but that would have to be like. someone she legitimately trusted and who already knew her deal and stuff

on and off i’ve been thinking about like, some kind of temporary ship idea for her or something like that... at the very least, she seems like she’d be a terrible (and therefore wonderful,) candidate for the paris blind date hotel,

or this is just a one-off idea for a more casual rp but i like the idea of doing an rp where just, two characters meet up on the london train, and villanelle seems like she’d be fun for that kind of thing. maybe if i really wanted to add a twist to it she could have like, killed a target on the train, and then has to play it off afterwards. murder on the orient express,

i’m trying to think if there are any like... Specific dynamic types i’m interested in for her that i haven’t really touched on yet. idk. villanelle is really fun for a lot of like, rivalries or playfully antagonistic friendships, that kind of thing. and of course it would also be fun to get her mixed up with The Law in some capacity or another, or maybe to have someone get really intense about going after her although idk how many actual denny characters she’ll ever actually KILL so there might not be that many opportunities for like, revenge plots

it would definitely be really interesting to give her a few like... Important Relationships because i always find the way she deals with those to be really fascinating, but it’s always kinda unpredictable who villanelle gets close to, is the thing

also, i really like throwing her at Annoying Kids because she’s usually not like, outright dangerous around them, but their energy tends to really grate up against her and it’s GREAT to play her as more frazzled and annoyed sometimes,

and then for specific people i want to throw her at or throw her at more... obviously it goes without saying that i already love her dynamic with fox! and i’m especially interested to do more with them after fox’s encounter with oksana, because he was so gruffly... kind to her that it’s gonna be hard for villanelle to kind of wrap her head around. i’m interested to see how that affects their plot stuff going forward

i definitely wanna do some followup with the other people who met oksana too -- we’ve already talked about doing more with her and margot, and of the people oksana met margot is the only one she even mentioned anna to at all, so that’s a reason for her to be a little more careful. and there’s the whole hannibal thing to contend with too and margot’s whole feelings regarding THAT. i dunno, we still have to plot some stuff with them to see how their dynamic goes but they’ve already been interesting enough to get into a BIZARRE amount of trouble! and then there’s james, who fits the “annoying kid” type character i love to throw villanelle at to a t, and whose interactions with her have been really great so far. she’s honestly going to be like... half annoyed and half impressed when she ultimately realizes he LIED to her (/her younger self) just to keep her in the hotel with him. maybe they’ll develop some kind of weird, chaotic friendship -- villanelle’s also a candidate for potential plot stuff surrounding james’ hotel itself...

i also wanna throw her at felix some more. they’ve only met once but they like... weirdly got along really well (well, not “weirdly”, as jay has pointed out they definitely have some parallels) and i think that’s an interesting element to run alongside the obvious fact that... felix works for the mld and would obviously be at odds with an assassin, maybe even trying to catch her if the mld picks up on things

and then fate pointed out that her, shadow, and moonwatcher need to hang out more JUST for the fact that they all have really fancy names, but honestly i’d wanna throw villanelle at both of them more anyway just because shadow and villanelle have like, total opposite energies, which has so far made their banter REALLY fun. and moonwatcher is certainly not an annoying kid, but she’s so like... sweet and down to earth that it’s hard for villanelle to find reasons to be abrasive towards her, which is interesting and not much of something she’s had with anyone else

and then people i haven’t thrown her at yet... i need to throw villanelle at some ASSHOLES. actually, i can only envision her being kind of hilarious with foxfire. i also feel like she pretty much has to meet handsome jack and tomy at some point, because they’re denny’s Primary Other Criminals. actually it makes total sense for her to seek tomy out at some point; naturally she’d be interested in a weapons dealer. or like... laurel since laurel is technically a criminal too, just not an Actively Villainous one, or... oh my god definitely nyssa at some point just because of their mutual weird assassin experiences. i don’t really know what villanelle would make of nyssa. or maybe someone like phoenix because, again, he’s involved with the law, maybe she could get in trouble for something more minor at some point and he’d have to represent her... idk! basically this is getting very long so i’ll just settle to say there are a ton of characters i could throw villanelle at that could be fun tbh

#thanks spear!!#oh and also im probably... gonna re-app her at some point but #i wont start plotting for that for a couple months yet #cuts dennys lvad wire #larkspear
