you have to stay alive. you're going to be such a beautiful middle aged freak. young freaks will see you in the street and know that things can be okay.
i love how intentional 911 has been when developing the child characters by giving them stories that honour them as characters… like, may struggling with workplace conflict because she was severely bullied and is triggered by being talked down to. denny hiding his relationship with his father from his moms because he watched them heartbroken over giving nia back to her mother. and now christopher struggling with romance because of his abandonment issues which have been addressed before, but are coming up in new ways as he grows up. i love how there's always a reason. it always ties together somehow
