Julie Kostenko - Blog Posts
what a lovely time :)
based on this song because it’s amazing
i’ll post it here because it’s nothing inappropriate, but
here is my julie’s reference!
i took a lot of time making this and i think it came out very well, so i’m happy to share this, and this will apply for my blog @jules-mixtape !
and some dbd headcanons!
i bring more art!!
boom bam enjoy
i’ve come to feed my children with more dbd stuff
I really had a lot of fun making this one! I told myself after my 3 month break of drawing that I would go easy on myself. Seems I ignored that lol but it came out nice. I am glad I went the extra length. I am fixing to have to do a lot more drawing with streaming taking off faster than I expected so get ready for some stuff that is not exactly Dead by Daylight but rather me forming a brand. I am already in process of remaking my avatar! Hopefully I can get her made into a PNGTuber! I would spend the money for a full VTuber but my glasses get in the way of eye tracking, and my PC struggles to run everything for streaming as it is.
I know I said I would write a story based around this on Twitter, but I quickly ran out of motivation to write. Maybe one day :[
For now, the obligatory funny WIP. The goth girlfriend was so strong that Frank's toe became excited.
which killer would even most likely flirt with Julie? i can't think of any
I feel like it would be Trickster. Not even into women, but he will try and steal your girlfriend just because he knows he is hot and believes he can do whatever to get his way. Trickster feels like he would be so full of himself that the only person he can truly love is himself, but Julie is pretty and she is taken. A challenge and the idea of being able to actually watch her fight with her lover would be hilarious. Little does he know, Julie is a loyal woman and will display her loyalty to Frank even if it makes the crowd just a wee bit uncomfortable. The idea is to get her point across she is not leaving Frank. There is also Clown who is a disgusting pervert. He does not care, woman is woman. Julie may even resort to violence to escape his pervy behavior. Frank would no doubt try to kill Kenneth if he even so much as made an attempt to touch Julie or even Susie for that matter! Susie is like Frank's little sister. Hell, Joey might join in on that for a full on tag team!
i just came up with a scenario, while Julie was in a trial her mask accidentally broke and she was unable to put it back on so she had to continue without her mask. during the trial she came across Steve however he started to act flirty around her. this weirded Julie out a lot but she didn't think of it at first until it started to happen often whenever she would be stuck in a trial with Steve he would try to flirt on her which distracts her a lot and causes her to lose her trials. at one point steve had the confidence to show up at their realm which not only pissed off Julie but frank aswell/ (I know this may seem a bit ooc for steve but he was the only survivor who i think would have the confidence to flirt with a killer)
Oh I would doubt any survivors would flirt with a killer, but what about a killer flirting with another killer? Like it would be really ugly if somebody fell in love with somebody who tried to kill them. Julie would probably find it a special kind of pathetic. Why would a survivor want her love and affection. Oh well she can just make their death a little more painful now. "Am I so pretty now? You like watching all of your friends being brutally murdered? Do you like that I used you to give away their locations? Such a good little toy, now do me a favor and cry for me." Julie is a sick woman and Frank lives for her twisted nature. She would never do anything though that would make Frank uncomfortable, just enough to make the survivor think she genuinely cares and might even be a friend. Utilizing the manipulation skills she learned from Ghost Face.
wait, in that last post are you saying that Joey and susie witnessed frank and julie doing the devil's tango on the bar counter 😨
I mean, they more than likely got busted at least once. The Legion does not care for rules or boundaries until it crosses boundaries of close friends. I also like to think that Julie was the second to move out to Ormond. Escape her boring life and have freedom to play her music to people who appreciate it. Because Julie was the second, Frank and Julie had plenty of alone time. They could do whatever they wanted to and nobody could tell them to stop. The only thing that ever told them no was that cold ass snowy wind. Frank caught a cold making an attempt. Once Susie came in, so did Joey. Joey would never go anywhere without Susie. He cares about her safety too much and knows Susie would feel alone without him. Frank and Julie got busted on the counter and the embarrassment alone was enough for them to never do that again. For a few months, just looking at the counter was a reminder they got busted. Frank could not stare at that counter without being a bright red. Eventually though they worked things out and made a plan so Joey and Susie never had to look at it or hear it ever again.
Joey still actively bullies Julie and Frank about the counter.... It has been years into the Fog and he is still a good reminder. Joey refuses to let Frank and Julie forget it either. It does not bother them now as it is more funny than anything. You ask Frank about it now and he will confirm it with pride. He is proud of Julie even if his way of showing it sometimes can be a bit immature.
i headcanon that sometimes julie and freak will bathe together (nothing nsfw about it btw)
I feel like they would 100% do this. Julie loves to cuddle with Frank and clean off all the blood after his trials. Julie rubs his chest, shoulders, and neck as some much needed relaxation. Those trials can cause a lot of stress for some killers! It either goes one way or another for Frank. He is either taking a nap and just letting Julie give him a message and a bath or Frank is pulling Julie in with him. Frank loves to play and mess around with Julie. She just never knows when she is getting a bath too. Frank likes to keep it a surprise. Julie usually gets a little irritated she is all wet now, but seeing Frank be so cute and lovey dovey, it is so hard to stay mad at him. They give each other a bath and then probably go lay down for a nap!
Now these two have most certainly hooked up in the tub. I don't doubt that either. Being stuck at such a young age, hormones are crazy! Joey and Susie can't look at the bathroom or the bar the same ever again.
frank and Julie are so cute, I headcanon that they share the same room in the lodge and they always sleep together on the same bed and they practically act like a married couple
I headcannon that Frank physically CAN'T sleep without Julie. Only way he would pass out without her is if he was seriously tired. Frank will sometimes have nightmares if Julie is not cuddled up next to him. Julie helps tame the nightmares down if one starts to pick up.
For those two, staying together is not just an act of love and romance, it is trying to keep the other safe. The Fog is dangerous, and being alone is not the best idea. There is no, "I'm mad at you, so you sleep on the couch." They both are scared that being alone means the other could get hurt and that thought in the back of their head is more powerful than simply being upset. A conversation and a cuddle can go a long way with Frank and Julie.
When it comes to marriage, they both want it so bad. They don't need a ceremony, though, to call each other husband and wife. In their hearts, they are already married. Julie will actively refer to Frank as her hubby, and Frank just melts hearing Julie say it. Frank has also called Julie his wife plenty of times. They seriously do love each other even being stuck in the fog.
EDIT: Frank snores like a truck, and Julie thinks his snores are the cutest thing ever!
are you disappointed by how julie and susie’s relationship is in the comics? i know at least at some point you saw them more as sisters :(
I am more concerned of how will Susie ever forgive Frank. I know the idea of Frank being Mr. StealYoGurl is funny as hell, but if I was Susie I would have cut him off long before being forced to kill a person. After that, being forced to be around him, being forced to call him a "friend" when I clearly don't feel that way would cause me to snap. I would not be able to stand The Legion if I were Susie. I would not say I am disappointed. This is just going to be VERY HARD from a good story telling stand point. Making this play in the way it is supposed to with what is given is going to take some HARDCORE WRITING SKILLS! Does Frank ever do something that would be considered redeeming to Susie? It would be hard to prove yourself again after doing the horrible things Frank did to Susie. If the writer can pull this off then color me impressed. It won't be impossible for this part to be smoothed over between Susie and Frank, but it will be HARD! Now covering Susie and Julie's relationship. Julie does seem to notice Susie's abandonment issues which is really good in your best friend. It was sweet to see that Julie does consider how Susie feels as a person. Explaining that Susie is Julie's best friend and because of that she is never leaving was sweet. Then Julie instantly ditched Susie for Frank which was not very sweet. From what I have seen, Susie and Julie's relationship is confusing. I have only seen the first and second comic though. I have not been able to purchase all that are available. Now I AM disappointed overall on how the interpersonal connections are written in the first 2 comics. That first comic left so much to be desired and made the main relationship look like a joke. I don't really know, but I hope the other comics are better. I know the second was much better than the first. I have not seen all of them so it is hard to give a proper view on what is going on. This is said from only what I have seen. Who knows, my opinion may change later through the comic. So far though, I prefer the tome.
what kind of peronality do you think frank and julie's kid would have (I think they're going to be the biggest crotch gremlin to ever exist)
Frank and Julie are hella chaotic and have to mellow out a lot to even begin to raise a baby. Once that kid is old enough, you can BET Frank and Julie will go back to old habits. Just that alone, yeah that kid is going to be a little monster. A little family that commits murder as an outing. There may also be the whole thing of, "Hey kid you want to try this blunt," from at least Joey. Danny is watching The Legion try and take care of this baby with a strong, "WTF," expression.
what do you think would happen if Frank and Julie became a family
I feel like as soon as Julie finds out she is pregnant, she is going to be so pissed, but be smart enough to calm down before she tells Frank. Seeing Frank be happy about the baby quickly changes her tone. Julie starts to see her baby as less of a pain in the ass and more of this is the creation of the love Frank and I share. Also, all the attention that comes with being pregnant is just a bonus. Frank grows 20x's more protective of Julie because he is no longer protecting just Julie but also his own baby. Julie is much more delicate, and their unborn baby is even more delicate. If anybody even so much as tries to come near Julie without permission, then that's another life off the census. Julie misses having some of her freedoms but understands Frank's protectiveness. Quitting drugs and going without alcohol has been the biggest bitch for Julie. Frank, Susie, and Joey don't want Julie to feel alone, so they don't partake in anything Julie can't have around her. Julie just wants a coffee at this point and can't have it because of caffeine. Susie and Joey are ecstatic they get to help take care of the baby. Frank is a little jealous that Julie's attention keeps getting stolen from him. It is a debate on who is the biggest drama queen during this pregnancy, Julie or Frank. I could probably go on for days about this, but I don't want the post too long lol
just to clarify, when I was talking about the baby stuff I meant it as a prompt that would be outside of the realm because having a child in the entity's realm would be fucked up because 1. pregnant people would become weaker so Julie could easily be taken advantage off so she'll most likely lose it. 2. giving birth is a very painful thing to go through, 3. babies are very sensitive and could catch sicknesses so that baby could die very easily. 3. if that baby still manages to survive any sickness, that child could get targeted by the other killers, while some of them may not hurt children some of them have no humanity and will use the kid to their advantage or the kid could get kidnapped by the huntress or the survivors if that kid entered a trial thinking they have to safe the child (even if they survivors know the kid's parents are Julie and frank they're going to think they'll be horrible parents and try to take them away) and the entity would have an easy way of threating the legion to listen to them by threatening to hurt the kid which would make the legion very distraught (especially Julie because she'll most likely be mentally scarred in some way)
I've thought about Julie entering a trial pregnant as hell, and the survivors are just wondering why all of a sudden one of The Legion is more round than a basketball. Luckily, I do not think that would ever happen. Either way, Frank is going to get VERY PROTECTIVE of Julie. You think Frank is the protective boyfriend now, well now he is not leaving Julie for shit anymore. The only time he would leave is if Joey or Susie looked after Julie. Julie might be a little irritated she can't get any alone time now, but she understands Frank's protectiveness. Julie would find it rather cute, though, how far Frank would go to make sure she is comfortable. Frank wants to be a good dad so bad. Frank would spoil the ever living love out of his baby. He looks at his baby, and all he can think about is how strong his love is for Julie. This is the product of where that love has gotten them.
i feel like frank is the type of guy who will cry when he holds his newborn baby for the first time.
He would panic like a mofo if he found out Julie was pregnant in the first place. There are a lot of things I think about if Frank and Julie became a family. Frank certainly would mellow out and slow down on the drugs a lot if he had a baby. He knows all about shitty parents and could never do that to his own baby. Julie feels like she would hate kids but would do ANYTHING that meant showing off Frank's love for her. To say Julie is obsessed with Frank is putting it lightly. If Frank wants a baby then she might just fold. I don't think they can have kids in the fog though. It would be very complicated if one of your killers were out for 9 month because of pregnancy. It is risky for the mother and the baby to get caught in the middle of physical violence aka literal murder. The Fog is also not the most healthy place for a growing baby. Frank and Julie know they can't have kids. The Entity won't let Julie or any other beings in the Fog get pregnant. As Frank and Julie's minds matures in the Fog they start to want things like getting married or having kids but they can't and The Entity loves the taste of their sadness and the strength of their relationship.
i feel like if the legion never got taken by the entity i feel like when frank and Julie are older they will probably get married (in their own way)
I feel like as the Legion grows and mature their values and what drive them changes. What their values and drives are would most likely be VASTLY different if they never entered the fog. I feel like the whole Legion could have possibly mellowed out especially if Frank ends up a dad (because he has had so many abusive parents). Julie would be ecstatic though to marry Frank, showing off the ring to all her co-workers and gushing over the proposal with Susie and Joey. It would be one of the most excited moments you will ever see from Julie. It also means Frank does not have to bite as many guys who flirt with Julie. Showing she is a loyal wife usually works, if it does not then Frank would get involved.
I remember the time I saw somebody say that Julie was manipulated by frank, I told them that it was Julie's idea that the legion should murder people and that she always wanted to murder someone before she met frank but then that person replied with the most dumbest shit I've ever seen in a fandom "she only wanted to experience bigger things" the moment I read that I just blocked them because i figured that they would be WAY too stupid to try to explain shit to them. what did that person think it meant when it said "Julie wanted to experience bigger things"? because it clearly meant she wanted to commit murder!
If by experiencing "bigger things" they meant Frank, then yeah she got plenty of experience. /J ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But no, Julie wanted to kill and even asked Frank, what if we killed somebody, and then it went into the foreshadowing moment of Frank saying he would not kill for Julie. Bro is a liar. That is a whole tangent though. I do feel like there is heavy emphasis that Julie should have been the leader, but she gave the position to Frank so that she could play, innocent and naive to get out of trouble. Julie wants the thrill without the consequence.
imagen this: you see this ficonial character, she's a woman, she always had an obsession with serial killers where she would cut out newspaper articles and make some kind of scrapbooking page about them, she always had the idea to leave her hometown and destroy it while killing many of the other residents. years later she meets this boy who has the same ideas as her, they fall in love and she managed to make her pyscho fantasies true, her and her new boyfriend make a criminal group that was her idea and she the first one who wanted to murder somebody and now here is the big question. do you think she was manipulated to do any sort of those things and do you think she regreted any of her actions? well apparently some people think that she was manipulated by her boyfriend DESPITE the things she literally did was all HER IDEA.
No, Frank and Julie were on the same page. That's why Julie liked Frank. He is fun, exciting, a rebel, and made her think about things. We see Julie's taste in people have the same ideals and aren't the nicest people as we see Joey and Susie also have no issue with causing chaos and even having fun with it. Also, I will NEVER FORGET the line, "More than love, more than passion. Julie felt like Frank was her spiritual twin." If you don't know the story behind spiritual twins, it is basically saying they are destined to be together. The one person you spend your life looking for and spend the rest of your days with is your spiritual twin. There is honest connection between those two. The comic might suck at showing an INTENSE romantic relationship, but it sounds like that's what BHVR was going for with the tome.
i think Julie would wear the most drop-dead gorgeous dress at the masquerade event.
I wanted at least one of The Legion to get a full outfit. Frank and Julie would match, too. 🥰
Sorry if my typing for this is short. My cat took my hand hostage
You know that blighted Legion skin were they are all melted together? In my au they have some certain aspects in their new body, Julie is the only one that can see (so they practically walk backwards in a very awkward way), Joey is that only one that can wear things (outside of their thoughts), Susie is the only one that can speak out loud (but their voice sounds terrible) and frank controls all of the body movement (expect for the mouth and voice thing). The Legion can communicate with eachother with their shared thoughts (but it can be a bit hectic). At one point some kind survivor does help them out by seperating the Legion out of Frank's body (even though some of them lost their body parts). Once they were separated Susie and Joey did go their own way since they want to spend some time away from each other (don't worry the Legion will reunite agian). However Julie and frank decided to stay by eachother's sides since they're pretty weak on their own.
OK, THIS IS REALLY GOOD! HELLO, I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS!!! I really hope you make that into a full story! I'd read that in a heartbeat!
Frank and Julie should definitely kiss
These two do far more than kiss 😏
They cuddle :3
But yes, I would love to learn how to draw two people kissing just so I can melt into this ship even more! It is going to take some time and practice
I have been wanting to do a big piece again! I love these two so much! Frank and Julie are by far my favorite ship <3! I did want to do something fun and since these two do not have a ship name I am now calling them Frulie! I totally did not spend hours with one of my friends trying to find a ship name for these two lol. PEEP MY NEW SIGNATURE! It looks ok and I might change it again to look a little better but I will always sign my name from here on. I figured if you randomly find my art then it would be much harder to find me by just the letter B. At least Baggie will get somebody a little closer.
Another funny WIP photo! Julie got bed hair
tbh frank and Julie seem like the type of people who would name their kids after something stupid. (even though Frank and Julie will never have kids and i dought they want any but whatever).
I know Julie would not dare name her baby anything stupid. Frank on the other hand is very Frank and he would be an absolute asshole. Poor kid would probably be named Holly Fook Morison or Dixie Normus Morison. Julie would beat Frank's ass if he tried to do that to their baby. She might have just given birth but it is very much ass kicking time.
That being said, I doubt they can even have kids in The Fog. The Entity does not want anybody being out of commission for over 9 months. That is too long of a break spent not serving The Entity. Kinda hard to kill if you can't even reach the floor. You can forget picking up a whole human off the ground when pregnant. Frank however, is very Frank and will test that theory. (It does not work)
whenever it Halloween, frank and Julie would always wear matching couple costumes.
They wear matching outfits regularly. From their prom outfit to even just every day. In a way, I like to think matching outfits is one of their love languages and a way to keep Julie from stealing Frank's closet.
Frank finds the kidnapping of his clothes adorable, but sometimes he wants to wear the shirt or jacket Julie already snagged. Julie is not giving it back either. It is too much love and comfort in that thing.
To go back to the topic of Halloween, though, since it is my favorite Holliday, I'd love to work out some Halloween inspired couple costumes for those two! It makes me stupid happy doing things involving them! I make no promises in actually doing this though. It is just another idea for the literal drawing board.
can you please share your headcanons of the queen (Julie Kostenko)
I am so glad you asked! Julie is an interesting character in my opinion. I don't like that a lot of Julie was defined as being insane, music loving, and Frank obsessed. That creates one flat character. I want to expand upon that with her personality while also staying true to what is already there. I want to dig up the reason WHY she is like the way she is.
Julie might be insane but she is still a person who feels emotions. I don't want to make her this UwU woman either. She is cruel and heartless, and that is never to be forgotten. She does not deserve forgiveness for what she has done. Even if she has her human traits, she is still a bitch deep down. She won't think twice about crushing somebody emotionally and mentally. It was stated that even before the fog Julie was cruel and had fantasies of killing people. Her personal dream was to turn Ormond into The Legion's personal nightmare playground.
That being said, personally I think Julie and the rest of The Legion could have been redeemed before The Fog. They all pretty much just really felt abandoned by the world. Julie, just like the rest just wanted somebody to care about her. Her mental downslide only got worse when she met like-minded people with similar issues. All that pent up anger together with nobody there to give them good guidance made monsters. The Legion is like a testament to what bad parenting does to what could have been good people. Now that is 4 people who spiraled into madness.
I want there to be emotional complexity to Julie. There should be more to her than enjoying hurting others and kissing Frank. She is much more than edgy angst. I want her to have very real emotions! At the end of the day, she just wanted a family that loves and supports her. Julie had to craft her own family and then named it The Legion. They are all really sad and let it out in the forms of drug use, violence, thievery, vandalism, arson, you name it. Their hatred never was processed in a healthy manner.
I know this turned into general The Legion over just Julie, but like, I think that they need to be more than cardboard outline characters.
EDIT: Bruh I found a typo. I wrote this out at 1 AM. Don't mind me. I meant to put, Julie won't mind to crush somebody emotionally and physically. For some reason 1AM brain went emotionally and mentally.
Oh boy did this one give me troubles. I love Julie to bits but holy moly did I have to relearn how to do hair. I swear I did her hair over 3 different times. I did eventually get to where I was happy. I did love doing her eye shadow and making the Legion mural look like it was drawn on a chalk board. So many textures, SO MUCH FUN! I was not able to save this as a PNG though because apparently this is my largest file yet and a PNG went well over the 20 megabyte limit. Got her on discord as a PNG just fine though. Looks the same so not too awful in the end.
In the end, giving Julie a face I wanted her to look like the kind of woman that would step on somebody because, "ha ha pathetic you." She looks like she screams sassy, and I think Frankie is into that lol. Julie is a text book example of what Frank is into. Dummy thicc dommy mommy mommy goth GF. Yes I did say that :)
Obligatory wacky thingy to do with the drawing, coming right up! Julie with grandma lips!
