poor elise's beautiful dream (nightmare) family
#the latest realization of whats going on post-avulsion in this mirror au hit me like a truck.#accidentally added “haunted family sitcom” to the scenarios playing in my head at all times#alternative caption. the dad and the dog they said they didnt want:#chaindoodles#penup#the twilight phantom#the son#fallen london oc#poor elise#nightmarriage#the thing about the make-believe non-legally binding performance of marriage that poor edward forces on the flpc in LF#is that due to the gender roles of the time. it comes with a different baggage + expectations if he were a woman#(socialized as one to be specific but lets not get into gender theory here)#matrimony has always been about possession. but also the establishment of a Family#socially motherhood has always been expected of the female gender and poor edward (woman) would DEF have complicated feelings abt it#plus. you cant NOT have tokophobia after growing up in the Orphanage + seeing & participating in what they were doing to women there#(how many women died and suffered incredibly horribly before clarabelle? she surely wasnt the first attempt.)#the new dynamics/parallels you could get between poor edward (woman) and clara are So Good... it becomes a whole other story...#anyway. children = important to a Marriage. my lizzie wants it bc of that but also /despises/ the idea of actually bearing/raising children#solution: make a fake one you can just toss aside when you're sane(r) and dont want to play house. yay! ^_^#light fingers spoilers#blease imagine this framed i had no energy to draw an ornate one in my phone. thank
