 The May Muse Fusion is open!  Come give us prompts.  Our theme is Sea Monsters!


From My Prompts:

"Tangleweed" by [personal profile] ellenmillion  shows the tangleweed 'sea monster' in action.

"From the Deep" by [personal profile] ellenmillion features a smartarm reaching for a ship.  Because to a smartarm, a ship is a fun puzzle with tasty bits inside, and then it turns into a terrific nesting site.

I have mentioned before that some of my characters don't have a background of abuse or neglect, just a crappy home life.  Today I stumbled across one description for that kind of thing: maladaptive parenting.  For instance, the home might have high hostility and low warmth.  In other cases, parents might respond to a child's misbehavior in ways that encourage rather than discourage repetition.  It's not necessarily malicious.  It's just badly done.  Mallory is a good example of this; her parents didn't really know what to do with a child, and it shows.
