feb + mar + apr reads

norma jean baker of troy by anne carson [★★★★★]

"Sometimes I think language should cover its own eyes when it speaks."

"Is she human? Are you? Is she a beast out of control? There's so much danger. No human can become just a beast, you plunge beyond - beyond what? Remember Jack the Ripper? 'I'm down on whores and I shan't quit ripping them till I get buckled,' Jack wrote in a letter to the newspaper, September 18, 1888. He never did get buckled. Of course insane, his mind blooming with it, who could go down that rabbit-hole or unlock such a puzzle as Jack? - but still, the woman! the thing is! the woman has everything and you smile and you take some."

: ̗̀➛ an exploration of the lives and myths of marilyn monroe and helen of troy.

: ̗̀➛ anne carson is there anything you can't do? please email me back. please.

piglet by lottie hazell [★★★★]

"'I want to make some food,' she said. 'For both of us?' he asked. 'No, just for me.'"

: ̗̀➛ one woman, piglet, and the lead up to her wedding in the face of a big confession from her fiancé.

: ̗̀➛ this one slipped beneath my skin and writhed around the spot inside me where i've tucked away all of my food issues.

merciless gods by christos tsiolkas [★★]

"I'm scared that if I let go, not only the room, not only this city, but the whole world will go cold forever."

"Your false gods cannot save you. There is only one God, my God."

: ̗̀➛ short stories that bash you over the head with how awful things and people and places can be. i did not live for this one... particularly wasn't into the one where a guy jerked his dad who has alzheimers off.

foe by iain reid [★★]

"All day. Time keeps moving. I've always thought that was a good thing. Until recently. I'm not so sure now. Is it good? For time to go by fast?"

: ̗̀➛ they want to send junior to space and replace him with a robot that looks and acts and talks exactly like him so his wife has company in his absence.

: ̗̀➛ marriage and trust and complacency, and a guy called terrence who we get reminded over and over has long gorgeous hair.

: ̗̀➛ a little boring for my taste. i had an idea of where it was going pretty early on, and it took a while for me to be proven right. pretty disconcerting!

acts of desperation by megan nolan [★★★★]

"The need was a true and human part of me, but I could feel nothing else of myself to be true or human, and so the need seemed ungodly, an aberration."

: ̗̀➛ a book full of confession, desire, jealousy, violence, and power. messy messy messy!!!! readers procceed with caution.

: ̗̀➛ shout out to everyone who said i should read this - you were right, it is up my alley.

gone girl by gillian flynn [★★★★]

"My wife was no longer my wife but a razor-wire knot daring me to unloop her, and I was not up to the job with my thick, numb, nervous fingers. Country fingers. Flyover fingers untrained in the intricate, dangerous work of solving Amy. When I'd hold up the bloody stumps, she'd sigh and turn to her secret mental notebook on which she tallied all my deficiencies, forever noting disappointments, frailties, shortcomings."

: ̗̀➛ i have become a gillian flynn STAN this year, it's true. despite having seen the movie multiple times, i enjoyed reading this, and was delighted to find some differences in the texts [for better and for worse].

: ̗̀➛ nick dunne, big fan of the lie of omission, mama's boy whose mama is dead, i'd like to introduce you to couples therapy.

dead beautiful and life eternal by yvonne woon [reread] [★★★]

: ̗̀➛ the first two books in a paranormal romance trilogy. these kinda bang guys, i can't lie. 15-year-old me was onto something when she decided to keep these instead of donating them. however, they DO have some of the worst book covers i've ever seen, sorry yvonne.

fourth wing by rebecca yarros [★★★]

: ̗̀➛ a romantasy book that has dragons, smut, and twists that you'll see coming from a mile away. pretty fun. recced to me by one man in person and a thousand women on tik tok.

: ̗̀➛ no one who has the thought 'double standards for the win' is using 'whomever' in a casual sentence with the guy she's having sex with.

: ̗̀➛ good enemies to lovers should have actual murder attempts. but maybe that's jusT MY OPINION.

my book rating system is as follows:

★ = i felt pure contempt the entire time

★★ = yeah it's a book

★★★ = i liked it!

★★★★ = good fucking book, damn

★★★★★ = blew my dick clean off and i'll throw a tantrum if everyone i know doesn't also read it and love it

📻

like all of them but im curious abt marzi and galatea tbh

From Galatea's story playlist:

I Wanna Be Loved by You by Marilyn Monroe

This is an interesting one! Lottie's playlist is broadly about her slow-dawning horror at her situation, at the wrongness of her life and existence as a living 'work of art' created for and by her husband. The first five tracks are made up of harm arrangements and classic Doris Day tracks; the sort of life her husband has made for her. The sixth and seventh tracks, Night Singing by Sara Warkins and Grand Duet 2 (Adagio), are where this sense of wrongness begin to set in. It's a brief look at who (more accurately: what) she is becoming.

This song comes in to illustrate the sort of hard-reset that Galatea's programming enforces when she begins to stray from her intended purpose. It hits hard and fast, a tonal whiplash. Remember what you were made for, it says.

I use a more extreme version of this trick later in the playlist, once her story in Barovia has begun (approximately Track 15), with the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend track I'm Just a Girl in Love. This time when the hard-reset happens, Lottie has learned to direct it towards the actions she actually wants to take (ie. "I'm just a girl in love / I can't be help responsible for my actions!"). She's learning loopholes in her programming!

Lottie's Story Playlist

(she ALSO has playlists for each of her party members :) they are Weird!)

-----------

From Marzipan's Playlist:

Big Fat Bitchie's Blueberry Pie, Christmas Tree, and Recreational Jell-O Emporium a.k.a "Mr Boy is on the Roof Again" (From B.F.B's B-Side: Bagel Batches, Marsh-Mallows, & Barsh-Mallows) by Will Wood

This is on Marzipan's playlist because it plays whenever she lands a crit. My party loves me soooo much <33

Marzi's Playlist!!

[lottieclark]

lottie had spent almost two hours getting ready. she bought a pretty satin green dress and had tried to make her makeup look good, which only ended with her getting even more nervous because she couldn't make it look even on both eyes. she ended up just using mascara and a bold red lip. that had to work, she wished it. once she was ready, she waited for monroe to pick her up. she didn't know why she was so nervous when it was her best friend picking her up. as she saw his car, a smile lit up her face. she rushed to his window and knocked on it, waiting for monroe to roll it down. "hey there, is this your representation of prince charming coming to pick me up on a white horse? because that's not a horse, monroe." / @monroe-cooper

The Truth

"It all started in Brindleton Bay," Elizabeth started. Before, it would take a lot of her energy blocking her memories, trying to forget it, to file it away to the back of her mind, forever, but now she let it flowed through her.

She took a deep breath, "Do you know about The Swansons, Sid?"

"The Swansons?" Sid raised a brow. "Isn't that your last name? Wait, hold on. I think I've heard of it before..."

She thought for a moment. "I think, Louie and I encountered in the internet. People said they were a very rich family, but they vanished somehow. They probably lost a lot of money..."

"Come to think of it...You're a Swanson...and my mom would be a Swanson before becoming married to Dad...," Sid gasped, leaning in, looking back and forth as if scared someone will listen to them, lowering her voice. "Auntie...are you...? Are we...?"

Her aunt sighed. "Sid, we are a Swanson."

"B-Buh...What!"

"I am Elizabeth Marie Monroe Swanson, second daughter of George Gilbert Swanson and Jane Briar Monroe Swanson," Elizabeth continued, "My Father, George, which would be your grandpa, was the eleventh Head of the Swanson Family. We were old money. We were rich that our family could change the tide of economy and politics.

"Your mother is Charlotte Rose Monroe Swanson. My older sister, and the heir of the family. She married into another aristocrat family, The Williams. Your father was Johnathan Giles Williams, the heir to their own companies and riches," Elizabeth watched as Sid's cogs in her brain started turning. "And, you, my dear, is Millicent Swanson Williams."

"Alfred Harper wasn't your Dad, Sid. Alfred was our loyal butler. He took us in, after..." Elizabeth trailed off when Sid motioned her to stop.

"Wait...wait wait wait," Sid waved her hand, as if trying to erase everything she heard from her brain. "Dad...Dad wasn't my dad?"

Elizabeth nodded.

"We were a Swanson?! My name was different?!"

"Keep it down!" Elizabeth shushed her, motioning her hands downwards.

"Sorry sorry sorry," Sid whispered, "We were a Swanson?!"

"Yes."

"Why is my name Sidera?! Millicent would've been better!"

"We chose to name you Sidera so that any vampire that has knowledge about Johnathan's daughter wouldn't be connected to you. This would make the attackers believe that you died during the height of the attack. I retained my name because I chose to. If worse comes to worst, I'd have myself be sacrificed as a target."

"W-Woah...But how come I never noticed?!"

"All those things you and Louie saw in the internet? I paid every news outlets, every journalists, every news network to release different stories about our family until all people could make out is that our family faded to the background," Elizabeth said. "They did vanish—I mean we're still here—but the riches, the companies, they're all gone. No, we did not lose money, it was because of your real father."

"My real father...?"

"Lottie...your mother, married Johnathan, and the elite celebrated for having two families forged an alliance, which made our families much more stronger in wealth and resources," Elizabeth explained. "Lottie loved your father, Sid. That's why you're here. But your father? He never did. He married Lottie because he wanted the share of her riches. To make everyone believe that they were so in love, they had you.

"His family was greedy. They wanted all. They wanted all of us that they struck a deal with the vampires," Her teeth gritted. "Those vampires—they just woke up from long hibernation—they were hungry. The Williams asked for their help to get rid of our family. It was a win-win situation. They get rid of us, and the Williams can have our money."

Sid clutched her chest.

"I would accept if they just targeted us, but no, they even targeted our housekeepers, our butlers, the maids—everyone in the estate!" Elizabeth hugged herself. "It was a stormy night, Sid. A stormy night casted by those vampires."

"I saw how Mama fell, how Lottie went limp...shadows jumping to and fro—from a target to another...it was fast, and chaotic," Elizabeth stared at her lap, hands clasped together on it. "Papa gave us to Alfred. We escaped through the basement tunnels. We ran and ran. I remember Alfred trying to calm you down from crying while we were in Moonwood Mills...I don't remember how long it took before we reached Alfred's hometown in Henford.

"We took refuge in his house, while news spread about our family getting slaughtered. Not only that, apparently the vampires that attacked wasn't satisfied and also attacked The Williams," Elizabeth continued. "And then one vampire knocked on our home. He was a vampire overlord, one of the most powerful. His name is Vladislaus Straud."

"I thought vampires were...were evil?"

"I don't know," she shook her head. "But this vampire, I may not call him kind, but he felt responsible for the vampire attack. He offered protection from the attackers, with no strings attached. Two members of his court was ordered to protect us. Alfred and I agreed, and everything was peaceful. Until Alfred died."

Sid nodded, she may be a toddler back then, but it was one of her earliest memories. Her dad, or Alfred, passing away. Her young mind couldn't comprehend why he wouldn't wake up.

"When he died, I asked helped from this vampire overlord. I only wanted a few things, and he agreed to help," Elizabeth looked at her. "I wanted to have access on our wealth, and he helped. With that wealth, I paid a lot of sum to have our family history, and The Williams removed from the face of the world. Including the incident.

"When you grew, and I found an entertainer job in San Sequoia, I moved us here. The rest is history."

An uncomfortable silence drifted over them.

"How come you never told me this?" Hurt was etched in Sid's face which made Elizabeth's heart twang in pain.

"I'm sorry, Sid. To tell you the truth, I have no plan telling you. But, something came—"

"—No plan of telling me?!" Sid's lips quivered. "Why? Auntie? Why?! I've lost my Dad. And you only told me now that my family—real family—is gone! Why keep it a secret!"

"Because one of the attackers are still alive!"

"What do you mean?!"

"One of the vampires that protected us, Caleb—I met him again in San Myshuno. Vladislaus, him, and his sister was hunting these vampire attackers, but one kept escaping them. This one? This one is hunting us, Sid. He's already traced us back in Henford, this place is next, Sid."

"Then why tell me? Wouldn't this endanger us?"

"Because I'm going away," Elizabeth said, voice trembling.

"What...where are you going??"

"You won't see me anymore, Sid," her voice become smaller. "Caleb presented a plan that would help us get rid of this vampire attacker. They would turn me into one, train me, and then we could defeat him."

"Turn you into a...a vampire?" Sid gasped. Tears spilled down her cheeks.

"Yes. Sid, this is—"

"—Auntie are you hearing yourself?! You're going to become the very being that destroyed our family!" Her niece cried.

"Listen, Sid, this will help. I promise. With me being a vampire, I could protect you from him! I could defeat him—kill him! You need to understand, I'm doing this for you! After all of this, I'm going to go back to you—"

"—Stop!" Sid slammed her fist on the table, earning them a look from the bartender. She stood up, dashing to leave the building.

"Sid! Wait!"

Elizabeth tried to catch her after exiting the door, but her calls fell into nothing, as if Sid wasn't hearing her.

"I am so sorry, Sidera..." she whispered to herself. "I am so sorry, Lottie."

HEADCANONS.

lottie is a sweetheart. she's someone who is naive, generous and too kind-hearted for her own good, though she may not seem it from a first glance. it would be easy to assume she cares more about the way she dresses than someone else's well-being, but that's just not true. spoiled, charlotte was also loved growing up. she never had to want for her parents affection. she was her daddy's little princess and the apple of her momma's eye, and they taught her how to be as good as she looked.

sometimes she forgets that everyone isn't the same as her. she expects people to treat her how she would treat them, which can lead to... problems.

the hardest thing she has been through was losing her momma. she was only around six when she passed away. playing with tiana was truly the distraction her little heart needed to cope through it all. she misses that woman so much, still, and she wishes her momma was here to see the young lady she grew into. she still loves her with her whole heart. she just has to love her from afar now.

she keeps waiting for some beautiful man with beautiful eyes to sweep her off her feet. sometimes she thinks she lets her imagination go too far. when she's out walking stella she often imagines bumping into a cutie with a dog of his own. they'd strike up a conversation, their pups would start playing together, and that would be that. at the ice cream parlor, she imagines the man before her in line asking her for help with selection. she cracks an innocent little joke, his eyes meet hers, and the world stops.

she knows that she is a strong independent woman who doesn't need a man! but is it so bad to want one?

she just... loves love. and she knows there's someone out there for her. hopefully in evermore.

lottie loves flowers - she grew up playing in an absolutely beautiful garden that was started by her mother, and it feels wrong to not be surrounded by floral scenery. though she doesn't have a yard for all that here, she has plants sitting in almost all of her windowsills. she doesn't have quite the green thumb her momma did, but they're all managing... for now.

marilyn monroe is her hero.

charlotte doesn't really... do casual. even her bedtime outfits consist of pink satin pj set and a 'messy' bun without a hair out of place. she has to do her makeup to go to the grocery store. it isn't that she's worried about being seen natural. maybe a little. she just loves looking her very best. it makes her feel her very best. she's not judging anyone who is there in their yoga pants, though; to them, she would say, "you look as pretty as a peach, darlin'!"

she has lots of southern phrases. i feel like that goes without saying... but i'm gonna say it anyway.

probably one of very few people you'll ever meet that says "bless your heart" unironically.

her favorite past time is romance novels. there's nothing better than pouring a nice tall glass of sweet tea, grabbing a copy of pride and prejudice and cozying herself into a hammock. she could lose herself in stories for hours. hoping one day she's part of one.

she has a sweet tooth... but specifically baked goods. she's not so much of a candy person. she does like chocolate, but specifically bon-bons and fancy little boxes - not hershey bars. her favorite, though? a nice warm apple pie. a chocolate chip croissant. sweet enough to eat the whole thing without getting a toothache. if she's being real specific, her favorite is anything tia bakes her. that girl bakes with love.

she rarely calls tiana by her name. it's always tia.

she's thought of working as a florist or something for a living, but honestly, running her social media is a full time job and one that she can't let go of. it boosts her ego, but it's also creative and it's fun.

Instagram Intros (Elvis Presley's Kids)

Jesse Aaron Presley (@jesspress)

DOB: March 31st 1955 Age: 68 years old Hometown: Memphis, Tennessee Nicknames: Jess Jay, JJ S/O: Catherine Miller Kids: Julia, Daniel, Michael, Lauren, and Elise Best Friend(s): Frankie Boston and Joseph Meeks Aesthetic: Growing up Jesse was never really close with his father. He was always busy doing something or touring or taking his mama out on sparatic dates to every truly raise him. He always wanted to be like him though. Just more family focused. Its hard to get more family focused than Elvis Presley but he tries. When his sister was young and his daddy was off at war he became the man of the house and even when Elvis came back he thought himself above him. He hated when his mama gave so much attention to his daddy and excused him from everything. His daddy tried so hard with him but in the end the closest they’ve ever been was when Jesse was still a baby, before all the fame.

Magnolia Rose Presley (@maggierose)

DOB: July 17th 1958 Age: 65 years old Hometown: Memphis, Tennessee Nicknames: Maggie, Mags, Nolie S/O: Robert Spencer Kids: Logan and Danielle Best Friend(s): Joyce Mitchell Aesthetic: Magnolia was a free spirit growing up. Loved her daddy to death and always danced along with him behind the curtains. She loved the horses at the ranch and begged her mama to let her ride them with her daddy. She would always chase her daddy around everywhere and run on stage to dance and sing with him and the crowd. Her older brother always looked out for her which she appreciated but it got overbearing. Especially because she had her daddy over her shoulder about boys and dating too.

Luke Forrest Presley (@lukepresley)

DOB: February 14th 1961 Age: 62 years old Hometown: Memphis,Tennessee Nicknames: Lou, Lukes, Lucky S/O: Rebecca Andrews Kids: Anthony, Isaac, and Connor Best Friend(s): River Valleey, Thomas Sanders, and Brian Roofers Aesthetic: Lucky was a sweet boy from the beginning. When he was born he didn’t even cry and his parents and doctors were at a loss as to why. He didn’t cry but he would giggle when his father made funny sounds and faces at him. He loved the horses at the ranch like his older sister Maggie. He never wanted to ride them but would stay in the kitchen and help his mama cut the carrots and feed them the little orange vegetable. He was named Luke legally, but everyone eventually ended up calling him Lucky due to his mama saying he was lucky to look like his daddy. Elvis never called him Lucky however, thought it was cocky of him to do so.

Caroline Grace Presley (@carriegpres)

DOB: February 14th 1961 Age: 62 years old Hometown: Memphis, Tennessee Nicknames: Care, Carrie, Carebear S/O: Nicholas Carvell Kids: Ashley, Mallory, and Ethan Best Friend(s): Rachel May and Timothy Cameron Aesthetic: Caroline was the sweetest, most quiet little girl to ever walk this earth. She never forgot her P&Qs and kept to herself. The only people she ever really talked to was her twin brother, her mama, her papa, and her daddy. She was actually extremely close with her papa. She would beg to stay with Vernon when her parents went out. If her brothers had a soccer game, or sister had a dance recital, she would always try to stay behind with him. He always went to every single game and recital. Of course Vernon didn’t mind, he adored all of grandchildren dearly, but there was something about Carrie Grace that had him wrapped around her finger. Elvis had always called her Carebear and it stuck, until she had turned 20 and people thought it was funny because of the toy.

Charlotte Mae Presley (@charliemae)

DOB: December 24th 1964 Age: 59 years old Hometown: Memphis, Tennessee Nicknames: Charlie, Lottie, Lottie Mae S/O: David Monroe Kids: Leah, Alexander, and Ryan Best Friend(s): Sarah Buckley and James Dawson Aesthetic: Lottie knew who she was since she was a child. She was stubborn and a bit of a diva, getting it from her father as her mother would say. She loved all things girly and was spoiled rotten by her father and uncle Jerry. She never was one to be letting boys walk all over her. Elvis always joked about not having to keep eyes on her around boys, because she would just kick em and tell them to beat it. When she had met David it was a completely different story. He was so nice to her and treated her like a princess, he was the only boy to see the sweet calm side of Charlotte Mae Presley.

Taylor Thomas Presley (@taylorthomaspresley)

DOB: November 8th 1971 Age: 52 years old Hometown: Memphis, Tennessee Nicknames: Tay S/O: Jennifer Maren Kids: Lux, Sophia, Noah, Freddie, and Ava Best Friend(s): Courtney Hall Aesthetic: Taylor Presley was a force to be reckoned with. He was a player like no other, girls would flock to him. He had a band when he was a teenager and something about his crazy guitar riffs rocked the world. He helped the rock n’ roll scene become what we know it today. He worked on songs for Guns n Roses, Motley Crue, Alice Cooper, etc. When he was just 15 he started writing ‘Welcome to The Jungle’ and that solidified his place at the top of the rock n’ roll scene.

Stella Love Presley (@stellaloves)

DOB: July 1st 1974 Age: 49 years old Hometown: Memphis, Tennessee Nicknames: Stells, Ella, Ellie S/O: Cameron Rawcliff Kids: Jordan, Elijah, and Tatum Best Friend(s): William Barker and Alison Rose Aesthetic: Stella was a warm soul. She took after her mama in so many ways. In fact, she was so much like her mother, Elvis couldn’t stand to look at his little daughter for more than a minute during their divorce. She reminded him so much of his sweet Halle Mae. She was gentle with the animals at Graceland, and kind to others less fortunate than they were. She always helped her mama out at Church Benefits and never expected anything back in return. Stella Love was Elvis’ little angel. Thought it was his mama reincarnated.

Austin Matthew Presley (@texpresley)

DOB: July 1st 1974 Age: 49 years old Hometown: Memphis, Tennessee Nicknames: Tex, Texas S/O: Bethany MacDonald Kids: Lucy, Raegan, Miley, and Tiana Best Friend(s): Stephen Booker and Louis Reid Aesthetic: Austin, or Tex, as many often called him, was a strange kid. He was named after the city his mama was born in and from there on out his name was no longer Austin, but Tex. The Memphis Mafia came up with that one. Halle Mae didn’t like it one bit, thought he sounded like a gang member. “C’mon Red, he’s not some kinda gangsta, he’s a 6 year old lil’ boy!” he remembers his mama saying. He ran around with his dads friends and failed to make friends his age. He eventually met Stephen Booker in 4th Grade and they soon became best friends. They hung out all the time, and Elvis and Halle Mae were just happy that their son had made some true friends, not just his Uncles.

Olivia Faith Presley (@faithpresleyy)

DOB: January 11th 1978 Age: 45 years old Hometown: Austin, Texas Nicknames: Liv, Livvy, Faith S/O: Samuel Hunt Kids: Mitchell and Julia Best Friend(s): Ellen Marks and Talia Newman Aesthetic: Liv was the oldest of the triplets and the ringleader of them as well. Halle Mae knew from the day those three were born, that Liv was going to be the most like her recently departed husband. She was easy-going yet a hard headed child growing up. Livvy was known for her short, Elvis-esque temper and her singing. She showed the world that even though Elvis was dead and gone, that he still lived on in his offspring. Jerry never talked about his favourites, said he didn’t have any, but Halle Mae knew him long enough to know that Olivia was his special little girl. When she had her babies, Halle felt so alone without El with her, but Jerry had stepped in and helped her through it. He was the triplets father figure but he never replaced Elvis, never could.

Calvin Beau Presley (@calbeau)

DOB: January 11th 1978 Age: 45 years old Hometown: Austin, Texas Nicknames: Cal, Calv, Vinny S/O: Sylvia Brooks Kids: Riley, Lauren, and Ross Best Friend(s): Rosalie Bryan, Ethan Banks, and Tyler Isaacs Aesthetic: Cal was a very charismatic person from the start. He was very charming and loved the attention. The middle child he was. He had southern charm, had his manners in order just like his mama taught him. Calvin knew he was attractive and he knew how to get his way. Hell, he’d even charm his grandmother into giving him and his siblings ice-cream before his mama has even started on dishin’ up dinner. All he had to do was flash his big ol’ dimpled smile to anyone and he would have' em’ wrapped around his little finger. He became an actor and went on to win 19 oscars and 11 emmys in his career.

Benjamin Bailey Presley (@benjpresley)

DOB: January 11th 1978 Age: 45 years old Hometown: Austin, Texas Nicknames: Ben, Benny, Benji, BB, Gunner S/O: Nora Jones Kids: None Best Friend(s): Alexander Rhodes Aesthetic: The youngest of the triplets and the youngest of the Presley Gang, Benjamin was very shy. He hated the idea of living in his fathers shadow. So much that he came home from school one day and cried to his mother wanting to change his name. He couldn’t stand the special treatment he received from being the King’s Son. His mama raised him to be humble and he stayed to it his whole life. Ben was a big mama’s boy, who loved his mother to death. She had never seen a more selfless little boy in her life. Even her precious little Luke had times where he was selfish. Little kids are meant to, allowed to be selfish a little bit, but not her Benji. He would stay up to help wrap presents with her on Christmas Eve, he would take his own birthday money to help pay for his older sister's Barbie dreamhouse. He loved his mother and he loved Olivia more than anything in the world. Ben and Olivia were as close as ever. Calvin used to tease Ben and Liv would always stick up for him and that made them stick with each other.

I think I'll try to make Hell Was Made in Heaven have all around a pull and push between "opposites/dualities/complimentaries/cause & consequences"/etc, because of the point of the title in the plot

.... Still don't know if I'm going to keep this title...

But anyways, it's not so much about adding it, as how it's already there in the basic elements I already established will be present - everything there is of "good" comes in connection with "evil" , and vice versa

Leandro's brand of caring that's essentially an overpowered skill in this world (due meeting needed requirements) comes from the neglect & abuse he went through, and his violence skills - he had to be a victim, and he has to know to apply a certain brutality, to figure out a dynamic kindness that is precisely what allows him to work to nurture and care for others

Lottie and Diana are tragedy and brutality too late to still be just "good", but the world is better if gods of misery do not have to manifest for someone to be the necessary evil, and I'm not even touching on the important details of this false Diana, that is now the only Diana (most original myth gods were killed)

Briar is a benign goddess, very human, but she did once lose her mind and tested what she could do of destructive, justifiable so, though it disturbed her.

Grigori is categorized as a "demon" and though he does good, he is often in conflict with the gore that can be involved when he's working due how his affinity with blood was shaped by popular belief. He doesn't mind the fire, though; it is easier for him to find fire comforting, even if it limits with who he might be able to work with because others fear it as a sign of some kind of hell.

I think, it's like, what's good? What's bad? What do you make your peace with at the end of the day?

That's the question for those living the plot: what do you make your peace with at the end of the day? Hell or heaven?

And I'm realizing a lot of characters make peace with hell, and "heaven" is going to be something*, but I also somehow am hearing Catalina say "aren't they the same place" because she understands heaven as her bedroom equivalent, and hell as her doll house equivalent, and so it's all one space to her

*something: most of the things I've introduced and explained are "underdog" gods, not pedestal gods. Just think of how Briar works to help provide for her community: that is not a god in luxury, but gods in luxury are not guaranteed anything either, and could even fall prey to Monroe.
