🎱 Avery & beck
[ 🎱 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat kind of future do they crave, and who’s in it ?
AVERY. most of the time, they do crave a future where they're completely sober, though there are moments in active addiction where they delude themselves into thinking there's a future where they can sustain themselves as a "high-functioning" addict hiding in plain sight for as long as possible.
they're pretty close with their father's family, for better or for worse (their grandparents sometimes enable their unhealthy behavior by sweeping it away and proposing short-term solutions). but privately they do want a future where their relationship with their mother, felicity, has improved. just for the sake of closure and peace.
ridley is very often in any future they imagine for themselves. it often starts as a fantasy about being in a position where they can be a suitable parent to willow to help support ridley and have willow in their life more.
BECK. first of all, lake/saya/fern have to be in any sort of future for beck. he's not yet at a point in his homelanderification where he can imagine life without them.
he sees a future where the normal people don't have to worry about their safety and wellbeing; neither do he and his family. also, he can stop obsessing over the cruelty done to him in the lab — and he currently thinks chasing down harris/burns/anyone else who escaped with them is the way to do that.
