untitled twc drabble

this has no title because the doc where i drafted it is just called "mommy issues" and it says all you need to know about it. told @night-triumphantt edith would say something to rebecca after that book 3 birthday flashback/convo so here it is, unfiltered unedited brainrot happy sunday i love siblings<3 i love hating rebecca<3

Edith’s eyes are fixed on the same spot even after Kiara leaves, a scowl so deep one would guess the door personally insulted her; in the busy aftermath of the mission no one seems to notice her troubled look, or the subtle shake of her shoulders as she folds her arms impossibly tight.

She swallows once. Then again.

It’s been like this ever since she’s started working with Unit Bravo: she’s been biting her tongue, pushing down words that would’ve darted out of her before and hit their bullseye. Instead she’s been stuck with this acrid taste in her mouth, uncharacteristically docile as she ends unborn conversations and walks away before the hellos.

And that’s what her every instinct is telling her to do now, too. Say nothing, walk away. It’s the smart choice, the self-preserving one. But when it comes to her sister she can’t afford to do damage control.

“You don’t listen to her.” It’s out of her mouth before she can think twice of it, her tone clipped and decisive.

She hasn’t yelled, has not even raised her voice, but she feels like she might have. Everyone stops, sensing the shift in the air.

Rebecca is frozen on the spot, looking right at Edith like she just threw ice water on her. Like she knew the accusation was directed at her.

Unit Bravo glances between them in confusion, but nobody speaks. Edith doesn’t even spare a quick look their way, all of her focus on Rebecca. She steels herself.

Too late to go back now.

“You never listen to her.” She doesn’t have to say Kiara’s name to see Rebecca’s unyielding features soften, settling into hurt. “She told you she was hurt, and you made it about yourself.”

Again. That last word hangs between them, unspoken and unforgiving.

Rebecca frowns. “That was not my intention.”

“It never is, no,” Edith sighs through her nose, shoulders falling a bit.

Tiring, so tiring… She wants to do this for Kiara, stand up for her because she won’t, but it’s as if every cutting word she aims at Rebecca is shot back at her.

She hugs herself tighter, the blood on her tongue feeling almost as sickening as her next words. “You remember organising a kids’ birthday party and feeling guilty about having to miss it. What I remember is a seven-year-old kid in a dress too big for her, trying not cry in front of all of her friends after you left. Even saved you a slice of cake that she knew was gonna get thrown away. She was staring up at me with those giant weepy eyes and I couldn’t do shit about it.”

“Edith…” Rebecca’s tone is soft, regretful, and it’s but a water drop on a pyre. “That wasn’t your responsibility.”

“Then why’d you leave me to pick up your slack, huh?” Edith snaps, then reins herself in when she notices the way Nate is looking at her. “Whatever, that’s not what I–” Her jaw clenches briefly as she looks away.

That’s not what she wants to talk about, it doesn’t matter. She’s glad Kiara isn’t here right now, lest she think she resents her. Truth is, taking care of her sister was never something Edith did just because there was no one else. It was a choice, one that she hasn’t stopped making (because having to choose, she would always choose Kiara).

But telling Rebecca where she went wrong as a mother somewhat means reminding her she has two kids, something Edith is not all too keen on doing. It’s the same as throwing a grenade and then stand there, waiting for the shrapnel to tear into you.

Right now I’d pick the fucking grenade.

Edith’s lips purse as she meets Rebecca’s gaze again. “Two days later, at school, one of Kiara’s classmates made fun of her. Said ‘not even her mom cared about her birthday.’ I threw my lunch at him during break and got sent to the principal, so they called you. You didn’t show up there either,” she adds the last part with a smirk so venomous Rebecca almost recoils.

It’s true, though. Rebecca was too busy at work that day, so she had sent a sitter instead. And then grounded Edith for “using her hands and not her words”... as if a cold cheeseburger hurled at your head would hurt as bad as a punch.

Rebecca fidgets on the spot, the few wrinkles on her face more evident as her brow furrows in guilt. Edith can sense the apology before it comes.

“I am–”

“Don’t.” She doesn’t need any of this from her mother, doesn’t need her to be sorry. It’s too late for the two of them, anyway.

But maybe there’s something they can both fix.

“That’s not why I’m telling you. You get that, right?”

Edith’s gaze pierces through Rebecca, who faces it bravely this time. Eventually she nods, lips pursed and poise stiff.

“I’ll do better. I want to be better… for her.”

Edith smiles at that. It’s bittersweet, and not all that trustful, but it’s there.

Maybe there is something the two of them have in common, after all.

I’m just thinking about how rook died when Kiara and Edith were young and Rebecca threw herself into work, effectively making it so they lost their mom too. So Kiara and Edith are left alone in their grief, they have each other but, they don’t, because Edith is angry and Kiara is too young to understand. So what actually happens is Kiara thinks it must somehow be her fault and takes whatever affection she can get from Rebecca while Edith wonders why she was the only one hurt by Rebecca’s actions. And they still have fun together but those moments start to become more and more spread out til they’re in high school and they almost never see eachother and by college they aren’t talking and it could’ve been avoided if Rebecca had just been there for them and I just ;-;

#it always gets me when characters are grieving for the same reason #but bc of their own emotions/response can’t actually offer eachother comfort #and I think that’s certainly true for young Kiara and Edith #plus on top of that they lacked the emotional maturity to fully grasp the situation #Edith’s anger made it so Kiara was unlikely to talk #meanwhile kiara seemingly being ok w Rebecca’s new absences made Edith feel alone #and they couldn’t convey to eachother what they were really both hurting and responded in different ways #Further complicated by Rebecca not even providing context to the situation it feels like the rugs been pulled from under them.#oc ramblings #oc: Kiara #Edith Blake

no because discussing this earlier has me in the feels: the goddam emotional rollercoaster of the book 3 breakfast scene for edith???? LIKE BRO. imagine, having your perception of reality altered completely, getting your absent mother and estranged sister back in your life without having any say in it, having to work with people who openly question your competence and constantly lie or hide information from you, getting kidnapped and almost killed (!) only to find out you are now a target and will likely live in constant danger. plus whatever is going on with adam god what a loser,,,,,,,,,, things are going better in book 3, edith is slowly learning to trust and rely on UB and kiara, but she still hasn't opened up, and she hasn't been able to relax in god knows how long. the breakfast scene is quite literally the first moment in the story where edith gets an actual break. she's at ease, surrounded by people she begrudgingly cares about and who seem to accept her and like her for who she is and want to spend time with her. and as much as she might feel uncomfortable and slightly out of place in the blissfully domestic setting, for a moment she's honestly happy. and then rebecca comes along and the bit of peace edith felt is gone in a split second. the casual mention of rook only makes things worse. going from awkward discomfort to tranquility to happiness, then to tension and anger all in the span of minutes,,,,, like yeah sure rebecca only wants to get closer to her children, but it comes off as so fucking forced, and for her to join them in that moment is just extremely intrusive of edith's space and feelings?? im okay im fine i am normal about the silly vampire dating sim—

Fun Facts About “Burning Bright”

I’m behind doing a Fun Facts post on my story “Burning Bright.” It was recently published in the #44 of Pulp Adventures. If you’re interested in purchasing an issue, click here. Usually posts share some fun little tidbits about the story and what inspired it.

Let’s begin with the title. The phrase “Burning Bright,” comes from William Blake’s poem “Tyger, Tyger.” I’m not a great lover of poetry, but I do love this one. Another phrase from it, “Fearful Symmetry” is the title of a book in the story.

The author, Barbara Newhall Follett and her odd disappearance partly inspired this story. A genius, she wrote a bestselling book when she was young and though she published a few other things, she fell into obscurity. When she was twenty-five, she left her apartment and was never seen again. To this day they don’t know if there was an accident, if she was murdered, or if she killed herself.

Another inspiration for this story is Agatha Christie. After the death of her mother and break down of her marriage, she disappeared for eleven days and sent the world into a panic. When she was recovered at a hotel, safe and oblivious to the upset, using her husband’s lover’s surname. Doctors determined that she had memory loss. Some believed it was a stunt, to revenge herself on her husband for his infidelity and demand for a divorce. Other’s think it was a nervous breakdown, from grief and stress. Agatha Christie herself never addressed the episode in interviews or her autobiography.

In this story, a character is awarded the Pulitzer Prize for their book. The first woman to be awarded the Pulitzer was Edith Wharton, for “The Age of Innocence,” in 1920.

While it’s only referenced briefly, this story takes place in Terre Haute in the 1930s. Yes, it’s one of my many Great Depression stories.

The Vigo County Poor Farm is referenced. In the 19th century, Poor Farms were set up for those living in poverty, who needed care. It wasn’t as altruistic as it sounded: from many accounts, Poor Farms were depressing places and didn’t treat their residents very well. The Vigo County Poor Farm featured in this story, was the one constructed in the 1930s, up in north Terre Haute, on Maple Avenue. Later, it was turned into a nursing home, and then torn down and new building for the nursing home was built in the area. For more information on the Vigo County Poor Farm, check out this article and this one from the Tribune Star. My great-grandfather was a resident at the Vigo County Poor Farm in the late 1940s.

Prairie Creek is shown in the story. My grandfather lived there when he was young and I have cousins who live in the home there.

Until next time!

WINDOWS OF DECEPTION

“Art, I suppose, is only for beginners, or else for those resolute dead-enders, who have made up their minds to be content with the ersatz of Suchness, with symbols rather than with what they signify, with the elegantly composed recipe in lieu of actual dinner.” ― Aldous Huxley This is a freestyle jeremiad. I’m not even trying to make it into a Phil 101 essay on the meaning of life, even if I…

oc's as types of love

@narrativefoiltrope beloved tagged me to take this uquiz for some blorbos and i haven't done these in a While so let's goo (also tagging @night-triumphantt @cashweasel and @leondaltons if y'all havent been tagged already)

kate: love that lasts

love unconditional, love unfailing. you love no matter what happens because you believe in the best – of you, and them. it will hurt and it will fail you, but this love tastes so sweet – you can never believe that it bitters sometimes. the way you choose to love unconditionally is incredible.

nathair, edith: love that protects

you love so fiercely, with every fibre of your being. maybe you were wounded by love in the past ; such that you choose to love and love and love so wonderfully that the next person who comes into your life never doubts that they are loved by you.

rieka: love that strengthens

you make sure that people know that they are loved, and you give them strength when they need it the most. this is an ability that is rare; the love that you hold speaks wonders of yourself. i hope you're doing alright. isn't it exhausting always being the bigger person?

jules: love that calms

this is sweet. i hope you know that you make others feel at ease around you. you're a gem, a blessing, a treasure – and you should know it. it's comfortable loving you. it's a privilege to be around you and to be let into your world.

#mdsdkjsfksdf these are so accurate it Hurts.... rieka showing love through dying and being resurrected lmfaooo #misc: games #kate hanna #edith blake #nathair cheronobog #rieka #jules walsh #these are making me sick (affectionate) actually

On November 12th 1869 Edinburgh University first admitted women to study medicine.

Sophia Jex-Blake and her friend Edith Pechy were the first to attend the prestigious medical school after much hard campaigning on Sophia's part.

Jex-Blake describes the scene here as the two friends went to take their exams a year later, by which time there were seven female students….they became known as the Edinburgh Seven. I will touch on events here and hopefully pick up on The Surgeons' Hall Riots next week…….

"On the afternoon of Friday 18th November 1870, we walked to the Surgeon's Hall, where the anatomy examination was to be held. As soon as we reached the Surgeon's Hall we saw a dense mob filling up the road… The crowd was sufficient to stop all the traffic for an hour. We walked up to the gates, which remained open until we came within a yard of them, when they were slammed in our faces by a number of young men.".

A sympathetic student emerged from the hall; he opened the gate and ushered the women inside. They took their examination and passed with flying colours. Although both passed, university regulations only allowed medical degrees to be given to men. The British Medical Association therefore refused to register the women as doctors.

Pics aren in pic one, Edith Pechey-Phipson and Sophia Jex-Blake in the second.
