Originally they came from something simple, just because I hadn't seen a character getting called a broodmare like how theres mutt, breeding bull, etc. but not a lot of broodmare terminology 😞 They became so much more afterwards, a heavy focus on grief in many forms that I have felt and experienced. I also wanted to make a story heavily on my nostalgia and wishes as a little girl, living in a dream of escape. How love felt so twisted, and a yearning to be hurt out of that "care", for my betterment. Theres a lot from both I attached my visceral, vulnerable moments and feelings to.
