home is the first grave
Karen Russell St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves / unknown / @/southern-gothic-decay (on tumblr) / Adonis (tr. Khaled Mattawa) excerpt from Body, "Selected Poems" / unknown / Mary Oliver Metamorphosque / Nikki Giovanni excerpt from Adulthood II, "Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day" / Warsan Shire excerpt from Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head: Poems / Team Dresch Uncle Phranc / @/elsiewarrenswords (on tumblr) / Wych elm Susan Smith
i. Karen Russell, St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves
[ "her own bedroom. When she was very small, she would wake up tearing at her bedspread and shrieking, 'I wanna go home! I wanna go home!' Which was distressing to all of us, of course, because she was home." ]
ii. unknown
[ "FUCK YOU IF YOU EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN / I'LL SHOVE MY HANDS DOWN YOUR THROAT / AND RIP OUT THE VERY HEART YOU STOLE FROM ME / UNTIL YOU CAN'T BREATHE AND THE HAUNTING / IMAGES FILL YOUR BRAIN AND THE BUGS / EAT YOUR REMAINS THERE WILL BE NO / REMORSE FROM ME AND I HOPE OU ROT IN THE GRAVE / YOU STOLE MY CHILDHOOD FROM ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT" ]
iii. @/southern-gothic-decay
[ "2. You can always make things more difficult. Draw it out. Make it interesting. Oh, you don't want to follow someone else's blueprints? Oh, you want to create something new? Too bad. We can't all be architects. Some of us were born to lay the bricks. Some of us were born to hide the bodies. You've been building this house since you were born, just like your father. Just like your father, you will not live to see it finished. The house has been a nursery. The house has been a burial site. The house is swallowing bodies before the blood has dried. Your inheritance is a knife's edge. Your inheritance is a culling. When the time comes, even your coffin will be a family heirloom. Come, make sure the measurements are right." ]
iv. Adonis (tr. Khaled Mattawa), Body
[ "And his ghosts said: Let's move on / Before the body is piling itself upon itself / secret by secret / Rot is also a heart / rot is also childhood / rot is also what love is" ]
v. Mary Oliver, Metamorphosque
[ "In the beginning I was so young and such a stranger to myself I hardly existed. I had to go out into the world and see it and hear it and react to it, before I knew at all who I was, what I was, what I wanted to be." ]
vi. Nikki Giovanni, Adulthood II
[ "There is always something / of the child / in us that wants / a strong hand to hold / through the hungry season / of growing up" ]
vii. Warsan Shire, Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head
[ "Mama, I made it / out of our home / alive, raised by / the voices in my head." ]
viii. Team Dresch, Uncle Phranc
[ "My mom says she loves me / But i don't think it's love / Cause she only loves me / When i act just like she does // And that's emotional blackmail" ]
ix. @/elsiewarrenswords
[ "I think that's what happens when you've lived a lonely childhood. You get too attached to people as you get older, in the hope that they'll give you the care and love that you missed out on and never leave you." ]
x. Wych elm, Susan Smith
[ "Why'd you do this to me / I was your baby / You made me" ]

Continuity errors in Doctor Who
I'm curious, what continuity errors do you notice in Doctor Who? Someone asked me the other day "What movie mistake is so glaringly obvious that you're surprised it made it into the final cut?", and my response was "Not sure about films, but I can name about 20 different continuity errors from Doctor Who alone".

headcanon that after he escaped the utopians, andrea requested that frank take care of russell for a bit, at least before he gets granted aid to study/lands a part-time job to sustain himself. this is around the time the knight family is still complete, but both laura and daisy are still pretty young.
he wouldn't exactly grow too close with the family, but i do think he does get along when they're stuck in the same room together. i feel like he'd have a more amicable relationship with karen compared to frank (especially since i think it's karen who had the idea of helping russell in the first place).
i also think karen and russell have the same amt of cuntiness lol. she would often have late night talks w him at their porch, especially since russell is still coming to terms with his trauma/mother's death.
and speaking of, frank's 100% the one who helped russell sneak in to see his mom's funeral, despite the fact that they don't get along. i think the catfight bitchy nature these two have is mutual and definitely started here. also, i think 16-year-old russell would have psychoanalyzed frank so much that he would have HATED it.
"but ame, frank didn't know russell was a utopian!" ok and i'm fixing that! i feel like frank respects russell's privacy and wouldn't reveal to the player immediately that russell's a utopian. moreover, since we are also going for my hc that russell is autistic and trans, i also think frank knows but also doesn't really tell people. it's russell's story to tell, not his.
i also think russell would have definitely assisted frank during laura's loss and his divorce. not anything too deep, but he would've definitely checked on the guy to make sure he isn't doing anything stupid. if frank finds himself safe and home after a long night of drinking, you just have to assume that it's russell's doing.
