breathedout: it's not strictly speaking NECESSARY to have emma's fully-developed political analysis and how it's informed by her backstory, clear in my own mind in order to write 1000 words of bickering during a snowstorm

breathedout: the only thing it would be necessary for is if I were writing something where she is a more central character, which is certainly not what I'm doing

greywash: shockingly: I know this feel
breathedout: I thought you might be able to relate
