thought that hit me like a brick last night- i was thinking of dusk/bruno as like a minor deconstruction of the forbidden romance trope (where it was doomed to fail because the two of them liked the thrill and the escapism of it more than they actually liked one another as people) but also like, what makes a good forbidden romance to me is the risks involved for both people….. but the only one who was ever going to be punished for dusk and bruno’s relationship was dusk because she doesnt have as much power as bruno does

#why did i give this relationship to parent characters that wont get this nuance and development from castors pov in the story….#like. dusk isnt innocent in the slightest but she basically got the shame and punishment from both her associates AND brunos #because the skorupi kinda literally worship bruno. they may be frustrated at him sure #but they are not going to lash out at him. because he cant do any wrong in their eyes except leave them #his situation also sucks a lot for him but the consequences just arent the same. they probably see it as like. dusk managed to seduce him #meanwhile dusk lost her home and the friends and family she’d known for most of her life overnight #and moved into an environment that physically wasnt right for her and thrust into a role she didnt want but had to take under her circu #circumstances #suddenly taking care of two children when she has no experience and sort of a suffocating husband #where uhhhh everyone except her husband obviously despises her and antagonize her #sure bruno was willing to toss around his power for her and keep it from being tooooo bad but its still a shitty situation #compared to him who just kinda lost the respect of a few people #and then once she leaves that frustration and ostracization gets directed at castor….#like again shes not innocent but she didnt deserve this….#echoed voice #oc posting
