Excuse me for being so intellectual. I know you would prefer something nice and feminine and affectionate.

You know even as a kid I still am super curious about The Fitzgeralds and where they came from. I know that they wear shells to contain their powers and their ancestors wore them but how are the shells made? How are they born as? Why does Patrick think that if they reveal themselves they would be seen as monsters in a world that is already full of weird people? Those are my current questions that I can think of but MAN I really really want to know more about them!

Have you read Nancy Milford's biography of Zelda Fitzgerald? I am also firmly in the Zelda > Scott camp, but I'd love to know more of your thoughts about them.

Ahhh I didn’t actually realize this was a thing. Other than Zelda’s works and a handful of her letters to Scott, I’ve only read Therese Anne Fowler’s novelization, Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald. 

I think it’s really easy to romanticize the Fitzgeralds at first – both them as individuals and as a couple – because there’s just so much there in terms of drama and glamour, with love obviously running through everything… especially because they both have a way with words and express everything so well. That unfortunately grants more focus to the good rather than the bad, and there was just so much bad with the plagiarizing, first, and then the horrific treatment of Zelda’s mental health in the end… stopping her from writing, committing her, etc. They’re tragic, and it really bothers me that they’re so romanticized. I was certainly guilty of that at first, but I’m grateful for the recent interest in and attention to Zelda for changing that. So so so so mad Z: The Beginning of Everything got canceled.

I have to ask,what happens to Jeremy's parents in the happy 87?

Well, the details are still being worked out - and if people are interested, I’ll delve into it more!

Essentially, after Jeremy was taken out of their custody, they had a LOT of time to think about their actions.  Until that point, Jeremy was the problem, Jeremy needed discipline.  Then suddenly, they were told and shown that THEY were the problem.

There was a lot of denial.  Arguments, trying to fight the system to get Jeremy back, and basically, their lives were falling apart.  It’s hard to say whether they learned anything, or whether they remained bitterly stubborn and sure that they were in the right...
