J'ai caché ma peine

La coupe est pleine

Ce soir je me noie

Florina : Âme seule

[crooked-wasteland]

Wouldn't it be really funny if we reintroduced Baudelaire's Spleen back into vernacular circulation a la "Shot in the Knee".

Like imagine being hit with this existential, melancholic boredom and just saying "Got me right in the Spleen."

Every organ I don’t strictly need needs to be removed posthaste

"I'm waiting for the wind to sweep away

The dark, billowing curtains,

Then I will stand at last

Face to face with the sun..."

SPLEEEENNNN

3 Del, 5 Stella Sterling, 14 Maggie, 16 for any

3, Del: Definitely her role in the story, her name changed (originally Elowyn Caddel), her personality changed (originally kinder and more extroverted), and her appearance changed (originally more conventionally attractive) significantly since her creation.

5, Stella Sterling: Originally, her name was Annabel Sterling, and I got her first name from Annabel Lee. But, I got a guitar and that gave me the sudden bout of confidence that I could write my own ballad for her.

14, Maggie: "When you're lost in the darkness, look for the light" being born and raised in the apocalypse, Maggie was very able to find the metaphorical 'light' for 17 years minus one day

16, Del: You and I keep making the "dolphin" jokes with her 😭
