genuinely up thinking ab Erica's arc. how she experienced a very specific trauma very rapidly while dealing with emotions that had been nearly bubbling over for months, and then acts out in a childish, immature way that is consistent with her age. and then the two seasons of TV that span a year in-universe don't allow her to grow past that and unpack what she went through or what she's done, mirroring the exact effect of her vampire curse that will prevent her from ever growing up.

Since Dusk is the mbav-universe version of twilight, does that mean that the 9/11->MCR->Twilight->50 shades of gray pipeline happened there too?

the 9/11->Single Tear->Dusk pipeline is real and more people need to talk about it.
