Does it matter if it makes sense? Because, it's Coward, and your lovingly fragmented prison Coward is the epitome of 'only makes sense to himself and often not even then'.
Besides. It's gorgeous.
licking under his collar Ok, I did totally have a giggle moment there because I was all like, even the elements want Coward! He's just that nommy! wth.
painted mouth pressed into a grimace. Both sting. Sharp. Sliced open and slid under the skin. I don't know what I'm saying.
And it's really cool to see some parents! I mean, have we ever? We've gotten wee!Coward, but family?
His father looks pensive and does not argue. You wonder if there's the first hint of something here in Coward, that he wouldn't have nightmares - or that he'd welcome them.
Cowards are made of sterner stuff than that I just. I said it to Megan today too. I love wordplay on Coward's name, because I am awfully silly, but also, there's a thought in there, aside from the teasing that is adorable, that there's something about being a coward that's ... not as cowardly as it seems? Idk. Admitting to and relentlessly being a coward takes a certain level of strange self awareness and seriously, what am I on tonight.
The book under his pillow has a broken spine. Aside from the fact that books with broken spines make me whimper, I'm all, eep. Broken. Eeeeep.
In the deep are large fish, which are not easily caught. There's layers of possession and pride and terror and biblical and beautiful monstrosity and a certain level of differing morality/survival. It's ... it catches me, and just holds me there for a moment.
You do this dream within a nightmare thing so very well.
