Did Rebecca have PTSD after her accident at Lewisham? Did it change her life?
Hello, yes she did and the incident did affect her, she still was genuinely positive and upbeat and lookin at the bright side but it was a long journey, with the positive overwhelming support by the others, especially those who escaped forced final firing/scrap (Oliver was also there around the 60s) plus one one one therapy or group therapy with Mickey, Geoff and Victor helped her learn a healthier mindset (that’s she allowed to be unhappy, believing that’s Crovan’s Gate would sent her to the end of line, asking for help and trying to unlearn a bunch of unhealthy habits and behaviors the guilt of being alive, thinking she got off lucky and that she deserved to be abandoned or sent to Railgate)
She’s eternally grateful of the help for her anxieties and justified fears, especially towards Bear and Stepney who rescued her and James and Sheffield who both know what’s it’s like to accidentally and completely unintentionally kill.
Since the following years of being in the scrapyard (it’s illegal to sent a sentient machine who’s still “alive” and not given the final firing ‘Blair water under their own terms, there’s serve consequences but the 60s is considered to be a dark moment in history cause that was known as the “great sentient scrapping”, it was actually why Oliver escaped in order to avoid illegal scrap merchants, (there were also other deadly methods such as being given the forced final firing while forcing others to witness, the whip, Blair water gets abused a lot cause it determines how quickly a sentient machines “dies” too little they die very slowly over the course of 24 hours so it’s highly recommended to use an entire barrel)
Plus under the influence of green water which lead her to be in and out of consciousness plus her being in a toxic environment where she was teased, bullied and being neglected, being underneath the green water for so long leads to consequences such as hallucinations difficulties distinguishing reality so poor Rebecca either had sleepless dreamless nights or nightmares about the crash, her passengers screams and the injuries she substantiated having a scar over her nose that didn’t heal properly, she wasn’t even fixed when they decided to send her to the scrap siding, the last thing she remembered was them promising to repair her and that it wasn’t her fault before they placed her under the green water influence, which led to her being secretly very fearful of any workshop but she slowly began to heal and recover.

Okaaaay! 'Week 2' of @encanto-extended-edition event!
Relationships...... (warning: a lot of words, I feel like I am coming up with the stuff on the go, but some pictures too! So please at least have a look at them!)
I am slowly reimagining Daniela's whole narrative and I want to focus on her having the time of her life :)
So, I thought that making her a part of a small chaotic friend group would be fun!
Daniela (left) and Dioselina (middle) are close neighbours, really old childhood friends and are really passionate about art, acting out their favourite books, etc. Bruno joins the group later.
Dioselina
Dioselina is a really huge support for Daniela. She lives on a farm and is used to manual labour from when she was little. Due to an accident, she loses her right arm but is still insistent on helping her parents and siblings. She is kind of stoic and brave, sociable and very confident. Dioselina is like a 'straight one' of the group, the voice of reason. She is more inclined to music than other art, but because she lost her right arm, she is not capable of playing musical instruments and is left (😉) with singing which she does really well.
Her deal with Daniela is that Daniela is 'the creative and crazy one'. As they are close friends, Daniela is comfortable to be her curious and impulsive self around Selina. They really enjoy talking with each other, they have the same sense of humour. And Selina keeps Daniela out of trouble :)
Bruno
Bruno is introduced to Daniela by Dioselina. One day Selina went to him for a vision, than he almost had a breakdown because it was the third vision that had to do with the agriculture that day. Selina felt sorry for him and asked about the familiar book she'd seen on the shelf when she'd entered the room. They talked a bit and she left. She starts to visit him, they talk about the book and they get close really fast.
Bruno isn't really shy at this age. He is adventurous and gets really irritated that he has to do visions for everyone everyday (because they are good visions mostly). He has some friends at school, but most of them think he is weird, because he can infodump about books or future for hours and has no filter, so he sometimes says a lot of disturbing shit. His sisters love him and defend him against bullies, but they have too much responsibility. They skip school a lot and don't really share his interests.
So, when he meets the girls, he is over the moon. They share his interests, they listen to his rambles and come up with scenarios even crazier than he saw in the future 'movies' (whatever that means) and they don't 'censor' him. Of course, it takes time for Daniela to warm up to him, but she does eventually.
The group
As a group they are a menace really. Bruno is usually the one that initiates 'the troubles', Daniela supports him and makes it more unhinged and Dioselina is here to look at those idiots fail and then help them.
At first, they try to prevent Bruno's visions from coming true. As an experiment they try to not let old Señora Sevanna's favourite apple tree fall but they unknowingly trigger said vision and end up in trouble.
As Bruno is overly righteous, after some not good people asking for his vision, he asks the girls multiple times to help him take revenge. Daniela usually gets really agitated and they come up with a thousand plans to kill the guy, but Dioselina reasons with them and they instead steal his chicken or trick him into thinking his barn is haunted.
Also, I thought, one time, they try to make Bruno more popular. They fake some of his visions, Dioselina gossips around town that she had heard only good things from him, because his limit of good news is one vision a day, but it ends in the whole town standing in line and fighting to get Bruno's vision first.
With time they become less interested in the shenanigans. They gossip about their respective sisters and brothers, their friends from school, discuss their future. Daniela is the one that brings up 'adult stuff' on the group meetings. She hangs out with her brother and sister's friends sometimes and also found a dirty book in her siblings' room, though she doesn't know who it belongs to.
SO being high on the hormones and her mother disapproving her friendship with Bruno, they start a relationship, which ends fast. They aren't exactly ready for marriage (they are 16 and 18 come on), and Daniela doesn't want even to kiss Bruno. They decide to be friends, but after a year or two he falls in love with her and is low key miserable.
(a first version of their group 'photo' in their 20-ies)
(a second one, which is accidentally a Modern AU and look! they wear each other's colors!)
Okay, when they are 20-ish they still hang out. They love playing little pranks, but generally they have their own struggles and really miss hanging out every day.
Bruno gives more bad visions with time and becomes more of a recluse. He still goes to town, sometimes they meet with Dioselina, he visits Daniela's workplaces (sometimes accidentally, sometimes on purpose). The girls are worried about him and try to cheer him up. In public spaces he is shunned and Bruno is very uncomfortable, even more when Daniela is almost screaming at people for being jerks and Dioselina tries to shut her up. In private Dioselina and Daniela end up having conversations that Bruno can't contribute to and he gets frustrated and leaves. The girls try to make things better by making the town not that feared of Bruno again, but fail. Bruno is hurt that he is a-
Oh no, it is sad again. Soooo, let's end here, before it becomes worse :)
