ok real talk, i had NO IDEA what i was insinuating whenever i wrote about maka’s mother’s backstory/death. i was hoping, as i was writing it, that it would solidify into an idea that i could just casually piece together and deliver by the end of the story but it totally didn’t happen.
like, what did she die from? i don’t know. something terminal probably. or she died of hiccups, who knows.
why was maka so pissed at spirit? probably infidelity. but why was spirit so TERRIFIED OF MAKA? who knows?! did maka tear up some shit? i don’t know, i just wrote the story don’t ask me
and what about ‘Well, Mom hadn’t hated Frank as much as she did Papa in the end.’?? what does THAT mean? was i insinuating that spirit and stein hooked up at some point? did maka’s mom and stein like slowly get closer while spirit was off shackin’ up with other people? i have no clue. your guess is as good as mine.
this is what happens when i write 15.8K words in three days with no rhyme or reason. i set up things and then promptly have no idea what to do with them. don’t be like me.
winging it and hoping for the best, an autobiography
