Ruined King - Round 3: Taking Root • Fawn •

Uhhhh....so....trauma?

Hello lovelies! Thank you so much already for all the beautiful thoughtful comments under this video! I appreciate all of you so so much, and am so grateful that you enjoy my chaotic little girl and the story I and the folks at Ruined King are weaving together! Can't wait for you all to see what else we've got in store for ya ♥

Fun Fact: My harddrive died while I was making this so most of this is just my backup I downloaded from youtube which did messed up the quality making my lil heart sad. I hope you can ignore that tho an pay attention to the angst and drama instead hehe.
Alright the reason ya'll came here

Story Notes (boy, there sure is a lot happening):

Fawn is trying to let go of her bad habit, induced by the community she (for the first time ever) finally feels like she is a part of. Old habits are hard to break tho :)
She also just feels bad for the prince, realizing that he was nothing but nice to her the first time they met, and now he was used by people, yet again. He's having a rough time isn't he?
A moment I could not include last round, which I do show here, was that Fawn did in fact see Arthur take the book and then rush outside, looking upset. Since Jacob approached Arthur afterwards she decided not to step in, even though something about that book really piqued her interest.
Fawn notices Arthur staring at the blue flowers, which she recognizes as forget-me-nots. What she really wanted to do was ask Arthur gently about the book, but suddenly, Arthur triggers a repressed memory of hers, making her opt for not taking any chances and getting answers her own way, hence stealing the book. -old habits- She did intend to return it once she got some answers from it.
There's truly something about Arthur that reminds Fawn of something...if only she could put her finger on it.
The scary glitches continue. Keep it together Fawn. You're not crazy, you're just overwhelmed and exhausted, that's all.
Jacob and Fawn keep trying to support each other even though they both have burdens they are too afraid to share with the one another, not wanting to overwhelm or burden their sibling. I'm sure that won't have any consequences in the future. :)
Fawn and Emil finally start to see each other's point of view. Fawn thought she'd enjoy seeing Emil suffer the consequences of his actions; however, all she feels is pity, and eventually compassion. We are not so different, you and I.
So many MEMORIES TODAY, WHAT IS HAPPENING?
The amount of triggers this round truly begin to overwhelm Fawn and make her even more desperate to try and make sense of it all.
She did not expect anyone to find out about the book she took, and is hesitant to show it to Davina at first until she reveals that it might be something concerning her as well. Fawn never finds out Vina's connection to the book or Arthur though.
The book is a catalyst for all of Fawn's repressed memories to flood to the surface at once getting too strong to ignore.
I say repressed; however, it is clear to Fawn that her mind has been tinkered with by magic. By whom she does not yet know. She does believe Arthur had something to do with it, but then again, she does blame Arthur for a lot today, huh?
7:19 - to clarify this scene because it understandably caused some confusion, Fawn was not an adult when this event took place. She was a small child, even smaller than Sparrow, I only wanted to show that the book causes her to be pulled into her memories, all of it is like she is experiencing it for the first time very vividly. It is very overstimulating and overwhelming.
Anya is supposed to represent Giselle aka Juniper, Fawn's mother.
The little boy is Sparrow, Fawn's older brother, who's image has been haumting Fawn ever since they left the prison in round 1.
What exactly happened between Fawn and Arthur, and how their pasts intertwine is strongly hinted at but shall be -hopefully- further explored in the following rounds.
The sudden rush of memories and grief cause Fawn to abandon all reason as the feeling of betrayal and heartbreak overtake her.
Her insatiable desire for retribution for all she had lost, makes her want to destroy everything and everyone in her path...
