Idk about anyone else but Chilchuck being accurately read as an empty nester rather than a deadbeat dad has a lot more potential. Cause generally empty nesters tend to find or end up with folks to parent or pets to fill the void of 'my kids don't need me anymore', 'the house is empty/too quiet', and such.
You could argue that the older man who started a union and is a union boss looking out for the other half-foots in the area might be subconsciously viewing folks as replacement kids.
Sorry Miguel, but “I took the place of a version of me that died to live the life I thought I deserved” is not equivalent to “I saved a few lives in another universe and would like for my dad to not die in mine please” Dawg.
i concede cautious optimism about the “dorian gray and basil hallward are siblings” adaptation, because i always endorse throwing a little gothic incest into that thang, but this hinges on the adaptation actually being willing to go there, which is a BIG if
still thinking about George saying that the Agency reflected the attic in St Hilarion's at first but the boys reclaimed the space, made it their own with trinkets and books and board games and so many warm lamps like the lantern and basically built the bare space from the ground up. they took the manifestation of the attic, a place where one of them died, and changed it into a place that could be called home because it was also the beginning of the rest of their afterlives together.
as In, what's the first one you can remember genuinely frightening or upsetting you?
There will be a second bracket for series I could not fit in this poll (Percy Jackson, Noughts and Crosses, Maximum Ride, Cherub, Mortal Engines, Artimis Fowl, Shapeshifter, Deptford Mice, Mistborn ect.)
