10 April 1945 Dick wrote to DeEtta:
In his letter to DeEtta on the 16th September 1945 Dick apparently knew plenty about love, especially about being lovesick:
In his letters he wrote between April and Sept, Dick suddenly started talking a lot about Nix. At one point claiming how untrustworthy Nix is off duty. He also kept gently urging DeEtta to go find and marry someone.

Hob is going to come home one day two months into Dream's retirement (and seven weeks into their marriage) and Dream's going to be full Victorian maiden on the chaise lounge, arm covering his eyes.
Hob, who is not a fool: Want to talk about it, or want to be consumed by the agonies for a little while longer while I prepare dinner? You got groceries, right?
Dream: [horrible groaning dirge of assent]
Hob: I'm starting to get a little concerned, dearest
Dream: I went out to. Obtain groceries. And the woman at the till said 'enjoy your food'.
Hob: And you said?
Dream: "My thanks. you as well."
Hob: My poor love. Have a kiss to ease the sting.
Dream: [accepting the forehead kiss as his due] I can't go back to that grocery store in this lifetime.
Hob: Understandable.
Dream: Can we fake our deaths tomorrow?
Hob: Give me two weeks to wrap everything up, then we can.
Dream: <3

recently i’m thinking about how both of rory’s lovers left her on her graduation day. first it was jess who literally went without saying goodbye, end up not taking her to prom and didn’t showed up for her graduation. but he was 17 and he didn’t know better. and later it was logan, who proposed and when rory had told him “i love you, i love the idea of being married to you but i can’t do it right now at this moment” literally gave her an ultimatum - marry me or else. he was 25 but acted like a literal child at this moment. and i hate it because rory worked so hard for both of these moments, especially for the second one, after having a meltdown and taken a time off and yet, her boyfriend, the person who told her “you base your decision based on what you want for you” left her because she didn’t wanna marry him right at 22 when she graduates, and it sucks.

i'm super tired right now so as i mainlined all the tags on that childhood horror poll at once i found myself going "damn. everyone's got every horror subgenre and plotline in the world going on. it's crazy how i'm surrounded by so many traumatized friends when my own childhood was so completely normal"
and then i was like
hey. ktikat.
What.

Younger Ijekiel / Older Jennette AU
loving the idea of Ijekiel being younger than Jennette/ Roger fathering a child with the purpose to be married to Jennette, which brings me to another idea: what if Ijekiel had several older sisters? Duchess Alpheus was put through multiple pregnancies, miscarriages and stillbirths against her will because Roger wanted a son so badly and when he finally got one his wife died in childbirth, because these numerous pregnancies endangered her health? I like this headcanon, because it would mean like Claude, Roger loved his wife dearly, but like many men of his time, he prioritized the existence of an unborn male heir more. Just like Anastacius he caused the mother of his child to die for his ambitions. The third tragedy set at the Alpheus manor would continue the theme of mother/child death and the shocking disregard for a woman's life for a successor.
This would make Ijekiel a cross of Athy and Jennette. His sisters are sidelined as a potential heir in favor of a yet-to-be-born phantom brother. Roger's daughter's aren't neglected or mistreated, yet bearing witness to their mother's frequent pregnancies and their father's persistent efforts to secure a male heir, might have caused them to doubt the extend of his love for his daughters, and to withdrawl into Ijekiel's shadow. Every new pregnancy is proof that the children Roger has aren't enough because their gender stops him from the achievement of his dream. They are [failures].
Jennette's arrival at the Alpheus manor changes the existing power structures inside his family. Suddenly Ijekiel isn't the apple of his father's eyes anymore. For the first time in his life he has met someone, a girl even, who is being treated like royality, as if they were above him. That someone is endangering his own status at home but in doing so opening his eyes to the situation his sisters were put in by his own birth and eliciting sympathy for them. His father won't pick his sides in conflicts anymore. His wishes become second to those of a little girl that doesn't even belong to his family. He is expected to make her the center of his own universe when he used to be the only sun in his father's life. After having been spoiled by servants and relatives alike for years, that kind of attention becomes conditional and his freedom hinges on his treatment of Jennette and her mood as well as how well he does in his studies. He is forced to learn the cold hard truth of his own conception. That he has no other destiny than to become that girl's intended.
