#IM HAVING VISIONSSS

[dallonwrites]

okay so one of the early lover boy chapters i've been brainstorming is about how before he died bobby had a pet snake that beau was TERRIFIED of because well, he is terrified of snakes!! and they would try "exposure therapy" with it and maybe beau even held it ONCE but ultimately he still was like i am not going near it. especially if it's not in the tank. and after bobby dies the snake still lives in/is cared for in bobby's old house, which beau has not visited since everything happened, which he uses being scared of the snake as an excuse but really it's you know The Avoidance and Not Wanting To Confront The Reality Of Grief. but this snake is also like, one of the only Live things beau has that's tethered to bobby. and it's different to the other Live Things because those are just people they knew but this is the animal bobby loved and cared for? the intimacy of that is so? and now bobby is gone and beau is like i have to be so brave and confront my dead best friend's pet snake even though he is so scary to me. which also means i have to go back to the place where i cared for and watched my best friend die where i have not been since he died. yes this is very metaphorically on the nose but tbh i just wanted to write something with a snake LOL anyway all this infodump is to sayyyy guess who wants to turn another lover boy scene into a micro! i'm seeing the vision i'm seeing potential here!
