It's got layers, it's got religious trauma, it's got that one awful character who you know exists in every community which makes her even worse, it's got shitty parents, and good parents, and awkward parents trying to do better. 192
alkemy (key) Ne/Nir/Nem @lokiofcontrol.bsky.social · 28/09/2026finished reading The City of Slaughter by Aden Polydoros and great read but i also want to highlight that it's so encouraging to see an author mention their DID (especially given I am a writer with DID who sometimes worries it, among other things, will prevent my work ever getting published) 001
