    Summary

    Obviously, truth is stranger than fiction, and there’s always going to be edge cases in the real world, but for our purposes: just how realistic is Armand’s tragic backstory?

    Judging by the number of retweets/reblogs on this post and others like it, fannish opinion seems to be “not very”. But honestly? It’s not that far-fetched.

    Or: a fannish academic does a deep dive into the most controversial character in Daniel Molloy’s new novel.

    Summary

    “I’m- I can’t convince myself to commit to a longer stay,” Robby admits, frustrated by it. “It’d be better for actually getting somewhere with antidepressants, I know, but I feel like once I take away the work and the bike and everything else I do… there’s a clock on how long I can be naked like that. When it runs out, if I’m not back on the right side, I’ll get stuck as nothing, forever.” Robby drops his face into his hand. “Why does this sound like The Little Mermaid?” he moans.

    “Is this the kind of place where they throw a black bag over your head and smash your SIM card, or can I still talk to you?” Jack asks.

    ~After a scare on his road trip, Robby does two weeks of inpatient care in Wisconsin... and you'll never guess who he uses his phone time on~

    Summary

    Armand lowered his eyes and spoke softly, “You want to know if what Daniel wrote about me is true?”

    “Yes, Armand; I would love to know.” Came the reply from Daniel’s friend, a little condescending, but that was alright, Armand didn’t mind.

    A quick gaze at Daniel proved him to be only mildly amused. How far would he allow Armand to go then?

    “I could do a small demonstration. If you’re curious.”

    __________________________

    Life's milestones warrant a party. Like, for example, selling 20 million copies of a book.
    There is no reason not to throw a party. There is no reason not to invite every person Daniel's ever met.

    There is no reason for Armand to show up. But that is besides the point.
