the thing about Elliot Schafer In Other Lands is that he knows he's an asshole and that he can hurt people. he knows. and he gets better at holding that inside of him instead of pushing it out on everyone but it never goes away. but he is loved anyway. he is so loved despite everything and as long as he keeps being who he is he is loved do you get it

Listen, listen, I know that the reasonable thing to do would be to read the books that I haven’t read yet and are tragically collecting dust as I continue to procrastinate reading them. But the voices are telling me to reread In Other lands for the 10th time and I am inclined to agree with them.
