In 1970, my mother's family adopted an intellectually disabled man named Horace. Horace was 56, and had been in an institution since 1921.

My uncle, who was 19, was working as an orderly at the institution where Horace lived. He only stayed a few months as the abuse he witnessed was too much for him. He had become friends with Horace and told him "I'll come back for you."

Horace replied "They all say that."

By that Christmas, Horace lived with my uncle and his family. My grandparents did the official adoption. Horace had never seen a Christmas tree, and that was his first real Christmas.

Horace died in 2010, at the age of 96. He laid down for a nap and just slipped away.

At least two generations of children grew up with him. He felt immortal to us. He loved Hot Wheels, pizza, cartoons and to talk to the portrait of my grandparents as he sat in his rocking chair.

He knew everyone's birthday. He loved unconditionally.

He had scars on his back from the institutions. If you asked him about that place, his face would screw up and he'd say "oh, it was a bad place. Bad place."

And for 40 years, he was safe, loved, and happy. He loved us in return.

No point to sharing this. But I still miss his laugh as he held a conversation with a portrait, whispering about his day to the people who had helped rescue him.

hey guys what if jeremy did actually destroy his family? what if he was in the wrong? what if he purposefully did something to hurt them? like an angry teenager would do? and maybe they did something to him first. but what if their feelings are valid and they only come off as villains bc it’s from his (obv bias) pov? what if we don’t know anything bc he’s genuinely ashamed of what he did? what if what if what if

Need to know what this was about. Like exys golden boy avoiding the police? Did his family cover something up? Does he have a guilty conscience? Bad experiences with police? Nora we need answers.

Events we know happened in The Sunshine Court:

Some time while Kevin was still in the Nest, he made Jean promise not to kill himself—there’s also been an implication that it was after Jean was punished for looking at Kevin

Neil gets waterboarded over Christmas break and almost killed by Riko but Jean begs Riko to stop, thus saving Neil’s life.

After Neil leaves, Zane stops protecting Jean from Grayson.

In the following January, Something Happened and the only glimpse we get is that Grayson was beat to a pulp.

having a king bed sounds scary what if you try to put the fitted sheet on and get lost in there and die like a caver

Realised strange nerd is an anagram of transgender and my life suddenly got better

there is so much discourse that boils down to "if someone doesn't want you to call them something, don't call them that" and it makes me feel insane that nobody can wrap their heads around this kindergarten-level shit

Exclamation marks, but instead of a huge line of them, we do like Roman numerals of them.

You know. To save space.

Something something Neil always bears witness while Kevin consistently turns away.

There’s just. Something about the way Kevin puts aside his usual problems when it comes to Jean. How he lets Renee spread photos of his injuries and threaten to release them to the public to save Jean, even though we’ve seen how private he is about the Nest. How he tells Jeremy what Riko did - something he himself says he hasn’t told ANYONE except the Foxes - just so Jeremy can better understand Jean’s trauma. Ow 👍
