Solomon Lauter is an absolute asshole and a shit dad, and I 100% believe he uses his tracking of Steph's phone for unkind purposes. But, they also live in Hatchetfield, where people go missing every day. Which makes me think I can understand the temptation to track your kid's phone.

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intent to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

there really are few emotions i find more compelling in a story than "you should be afraid of me. please don't be afraid of me"

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good
