Gosh Darn It Becky :'D - Tumblr Posts

There's a lovely moment when Anya on her first day at school sees how Becky wants to be friends with her and thinks to herself that maybe Eden won't be so bad after all despite all the mean and scary kids.

Many, many, many chapters later, we find out that Becky had the exact same thought on that first day at school - with Anya there, maybe school will be ok. 🥹

I've written before about how Becky is the one closest to living her true self in the series. But even she puts on a front for the world. Because she's a Blackbell, a bit like with Damian, there are certain expectations. And before Anya, she comes across as a self-entitled, haughty brat. And she kind of is! Except we learn that the little girl who thinks of herself as a Big Girl, the 6 year old who thinks she's got everything figured out and ready to show this poor (in every sense of the word) baby How The World Works on her first day at school... it turns out she does not, in fact, have everything figured out. It turns out she is unsure of her place at Eden. It turns out she is unsure of herself.

Until Anya came along.

Friendships are the best.
