🐚 // THANL U SO MUCH UEEE.... zukas characterization and her relationships with others & all that is a love letter to everyone close to me because i draw so heavily from my own personal experiences, both with other people and with myself. a lot of my knowledge on things related to her comes from my own war vet dad (who's around her age, too, so that's a plus) + myself, with a good handful of other things taken from friends i have or used to have. in addition her relationships, specifically the somewhat dependent one she has on broker, is taken, at least partially, from my own relationship with my fiance, both current and at past timeframes from knowing & being with her. :)
