The thing that is striking me the most about this album is just how messy and human it is. She’s not holding anything back or trying to appear one way or another. She’s just letting it all out regardless of what anyone might say. She found that trying to be polished and keep all the ugly, imperfect, human stuff in to be stifling and just said fuck it I need to do this for me. This album was an exorcism for her.
friendly reminder: hofas is a crescent city book, not an acotar book. the focus is on the cc characters, plot, and journey. acotar characters may be making a cameo and play some part in it, but it is not about them. whatever will happen will not be about them but about bryce and co. don’t go into it expecting answers or you’ll be judging the book in a negative light for the wrong reasons.
Just finished binging Making a Murderer and you know who we’re not talking about enough???
DOLORES. FUCKING. AVERY.
THIS WOMAN IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY!!!!
This woman drove all around the goddamn country for 18 years to visit her son wherever he was. She took the time & the resources to do that even when he was hundreds of miles away. She drove THROUGH ICE to see her son.
She spent actual years doing every single thing she knew to do to get justice for her family.
She is a working class woman from rural Wisconsin, but she has done more legal work in her life than any lawyer involved in these cases. Dean Strang is great & spoke beautifully & everything. But Steven Avery would still be in prison for the assault he didn’t commit if it weren’t for his mother who never went to law school.
She showed up to court every day even when her reputation & SAFETY were at risk.
She’s still trying to find justice in a system that has fucked her over so many times almost anyone else would have stopped.
I don’t know if Steven Avery is guilty, but I know that Dolores Avery has done nothing but love and protect her family. She is incredible. She deserves justice for her family but she also deserves the fucking world & I swear to god I will fight anyone about this.
