Debt Collector - The Deck [OC Animatic]

CW: abuse, violence, flashing
An animatic outlining Josh's first few weeks in a liminal-space hellscape teeming with monsters with only strangers to rely on for help. His awful attitude and worldview only make him vulnerable, to both his enemies and the people meant to be his allies, and eventually he's forced to realize that something has to change after the Reverse Tower forces change UPON him.
The Deck is an RP run by my friend Newt, read more about it and Tower here: collabwithmyse...

[@WeirdoChocolateLover]

was listening to debt collector and then decided to rewatch this absolutely kickass video. i love the repeated motif of the lightning bolt from the rider waite version of the tower card.

[@collabwithself]

It's an honor to hear this is something you'd want to rewatch! Yeah, the recurring symbolism there is DEFINITELY intentional, I had fun inserting it in several places throughout this animatic!
