mental health check: how are you and your characters doing?
Thanks for checking in. If you want me to be totally honest, it’s been a little rough. (TW:CANCER) My mum is going through a lot of cancer treatments and this year she is being particularly morbid about death and not seeing another Christmas and trying to be the positive one is very emotionally draining but I’m trying my best to make it special despite all of the restrictions in place due to Boris (PS: if you can get the song ‘Boris Johnson is a fucking cunt’ to be our Christmas number 1, I would be grateful). Anyway:
Robyn isn’t doing too well. It’s her first Christmas without Elijah around and she’s mostly just on her own dealing with the consequences of her own actions and getting drunk in her flat. Honestly, she needs a hug.
Elijah is great as he usually is for the most part. He’s excited to be an uncle and looking forward to making it a special Christmas. It’s a little tough on him because he does try to defend Robyn for not being there but he’s struggling to make it through the noise in his family.
