thinking about little molly finch, the baby on a boat that tugged a house across the ocean

who grew up hearing bedtime stories based on tales from her family’s old country, of shapeshifters and seamonsters, and the story of the night the sea rose up around them and dragged that boat down to bottom of the sea bed

who could see that giant house and boat at low tide at night

who drew a picture of a princess in a castle at the bottom of the sea besieged by a sea monster

and died sure it was coming after her

#what remains of edith finch #wroef #molly finch #i do think that edie would have sensationalised and told molly all about that ill-fated journey to america #i think she told it like a big and tragic adventure so often and so vividly that molly sometimes felt like she could remember being there #even though she was less than a year old at the time #and i think the first generation of finches but especially molly were brought up on the same stories and myths that edie would have been #and somewhere in that little child mind molly sewed the two tales together #it wasn’t a storm that killed her grandpa but a sea monster #and there were sea monsters out there creatures in the sea that people just hadn’t found yet #and the night she ate poison and slowly died her thoughts latched on to that and dreamt of the night the boat sank #from the monster’s point of view. and became convinced it was going to try to eat all of the finches starting with her #eh idk ignore me i’m just having Thoughts
