Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback about my Elka art! I really appreciate it. And now the question : What would Elka's mental world look like? I was wondering what you could suggest about this. It always seemed to me that the symbol of her world would be a mirror
Well actually my boyfriend and I had an idea for Elka's brain world we called "Elka's Ever-after!" I need to write down some big document for all the ideas we had about it but for now [should put a tw for like, idk, I think Elka would be an alcoholic as an adult. Theres a vague reference to that here? I mean Bobs Bottles exists so--]
It was a little 50s sitcom-type world, all in black-and-white and such, complete with it's own laugh track! Mostly it would be a representation of the "perfect" life she had always wanted for herself (the one she had pictured in all her years chasing after Nils and their predestined relationship (that as a child she conveniently ignored meant it was doomed to fail)), all with its own dandy Nils stand in, "The Husband," and their two darling regret children. The "plot" of the brain world (in the sense that, if someone were to go into it the "goal" of the world in order to "fix her issues") would be to disrupt this, although perfect, entirely fabricated life Elka, or rather "The Housewife," had made for herself.
The Housewife is stuck in a miserable marriage she pretends is perfect, but the signs are there. The cigarettes, the empty bottles, the constant misfortune written on the calendar on the fridge, the non-stop bad news on the television and the radio and the newspapers. It's obvious things are bad. But Elka is too proud, and far more than that, too resigned to what she sees as her predestined fate to even attempt to change anything. So she just tries to make sure everyone else thinks it's all as perfect as she always told them it would be, even in her own brain world.
She cant change the miserable future her visions showed to her, so why bother even trying? She feels helpless. Her visions are more in control of her own life than she is. There's a lot that I'm skipping for the sake of not rambling on and on, but the end of her world, I think, would be set in her childhood home (rather than the "perfect" home The Housewife lives in.) A little child Elka sitting in the dark of her living room in front of her TV, playing her first vision on loop. The start of all her issues, the beginning of the end of any control she felt over her life. It's mentioned she has a vision of a puppy getting run over in the Li-Po doc and I take that as being one of if not her first vision, so of course she's upset. Giving her the remote to the TV would be symbolically showing her that she is in control, that she doesn't have to just do whatever her visions say, that she has a choice in her life, that she doesn't have to just watch it all happen.
Heart! I could go a LOT into the intricacies of how it all plays out (and I will if you'd like but it would just be a written play-by-play of how I think going through the world would be (complete with bossfights!) from the perspective of Kitty and Franke since they're the ones going through her mind in my and my boyfriends Au!), with all the symbolism and whatnot, but this answer is already long enough.
All in all I have thought about this a lot (,'. Though I do think mirrors could really be a big thing for her. A lot of her issues, including not feeling in control, I also think would stem from her mother treating her precognition as a parlor trick. I think she would see a lot of her mother in herself (and father too for that matter. I figure Barney is the one who cheated (though mostly because of Mable's unhealthy obsession with bad predictions, not that that is an excuse) and I also figure he and Elka were close due to them both being psychics and having their unique precognition. So him leaving would put a lot of strain on her.) and hate that, so mirrors could be a fantastic symbol of that.

Elka immediately knew camp was going to be hell the second Vernon tripe walked onto the bus. His blabbering only further solidified her visions. Any chance he got he would blabber about a random story or get someone to play a game with him, which Elka slightly pitied him a little bit but nothing further than that.
“Hey Elka.” The boy said at an annoyingly slow place. She already wanted to walk away. “Do you know that red haired girl that sat near the front of the bus? I was curious about her and wanted to-”
So when he walked up to her asking what she knew about Frankie, Elka knew it was going to be a nothing but painful interaction.
Elka put up her hand in a ‘Stop’ motion, then closed her eyes, breathed in deeply before looking back at Vernon. “I will tell you what I know about her if you don't talk to me for the next two days. Got it?” Thankfully it only took a second or two of thinking before Vernon nodded.
“She’s pretty happy go-lucky from the looks of it, I believe she likes arts and crafts since she's always making stuff with that..creatively dressed girlfriend of hers.” Creative was putting it nicely.
“Girlfriend?”
Elka looked up from her nails and at the black haired boy, who seemed to be sporting a disappointed expression. “Well..I'm pretty sure anyways, we’ve only been here a week and I haven't had much interaction with her.” Much to Elka's..relief? He perked up at that. No, it was a good thing, now he wouldn't be bothering her about something stupid about ‘How to win over a girl' or asking for any updates on Frankie's and Kitty's relationship.
The boy seemed to fidget with the sleeve of his shirt as he stood, clearly thinking about his next words that she only prayed weren't as ridiculous as she was guessing. “Thanks Elka, since you helped me you can always ask me about that blonde kid..uh, I don't know his name though.” There was only one other blonde kid so Elka knew exactly who Vernon was talking about.
She felt her own face flush, her arms crossed and she slightly turned away as a slight scowl appeared on her face. “What makes you think I'd like to know anything about him?” Elka asked incredulously.
She watched as the boy tapped the side of his face in thought. “Well, aren't you always staring at him?”
Elka made sure Vernon walked away from their conversation with a bruise to the nose and hopefully a second thought about talking to her in the future.
a bunch of future au franke & elkas and mental constructs that i never posted . sorry they are always on my mind . maybe one day when im less busy ill actually drop the lore for these two LMAO
