//other mother is stuck here. maybe being around my aunts will help her//

//other mother feels stupid, old, other things sweet-kind-11011 will not repeat. she is just deactivating. not forever//

//other mother is very sad today. would a mouse help her? mouses would help if sad, but 11011 too smart-pretty-brave to be so. maybe should ask not smart not pretty sisters? they must be miserable not being beautiful 11011//

Do you ever just stop and think about how cool owls are?

Various spoilers for Athena's role in Persephone Effect:

//more mother. every page without mother people pleading “where is mother so smart and wise where where where” and then she is there and so smart with pockets full of mouses. not bad mother like others. best mother.//

//eyes like my lens on mother’s shield. all the better to see mouses. very very good. maybe 11011 is mother’s symbol? very likely//

//moonlighting as messenger for other place with giant mechas. flapping at window, child wakes? is fascist owl? no, brave-smart-pretty 11011 inviting child to wonderland of lesbians, giant robots, shooting patriarchs. some war crimes included. also tomatoes.//

//11011 hero of story. read read read about brave smart pretty pretty pretty 11011 and mother. also some bad mouses// archiveofourown.org/works/640838...
