ANNABELL LEE
Is such a complex and lovely character, I can't. The difference between her thought process and Lenores thought process is beautiful and interesting-
She's a woman who very early in her life understood that she was not in a position of power, just by being a woman. That her life is controlled by a system everybody abides by that will never favor her. That she has to follow the rules of said system or even her family will cast her out as a mad woman, evident by the way they treat her anxiety/panic attacks. Nobody is safe. Nobody can be trusted. To keep safe is to follow the rules-
And the only way to get on top of anything, to gain even a smidge of control is to use the rules to you're advantage.
But this in turn demands of her to turn off care and empathy for others (which she is capable of btw. Annabell Lee is not just some unfeeling monster) Because factoring in how it would affect the other person, caring about another person is a risk factor to herself. And anyway, its not like anybody truly cares about her, right? Its not like there are people out there who would be willing to have empathy for her. They pretend, just as she does because it is polite. Some may even mean it on some level, but not truly. Not wholeheartedly. That's how she sees it.
She's on her own. Her true self is utterly and fully on her own.
Cue Lenore. Lenore started out just the same as any other person Annabell Lee could take advantage of. However, with one additional perk. She was a break. Annabell Lee didn't have to watch herself as closely, not maintain a facade as tightly as usual. Because she is talking to a mad woman. A woman diagnosed with hysteria, a woman shut in in the basement. She has no social power over Annabell Lee. Any accusations or similar can be explained away with her mental illness. So, with time she gets comfortable. Relaxes just a tiny bit. Lenore is pleasant company, sensible and quite smart to talk to.
She, on some level, understands Annabell Lee. And then. Then she cares.
And that is such an unfamiliar feeling. Such a dangerous sentiment. And ridiculous too, for why? Annabell is just taking advantage. Perhaps that's why Lenore is mad, for not quite understanding that. The social games and ladders.
And then the house burns down. And she grieves for a brief friend she had to leave, the first person who really cared.
And then Leo shows up.
Actually taking advantage of the rules, but in such a mad way, it is utterly baffling for her. It is the ultimate proof of care. Lenore cares for Annabell so deeply, it seems, she's willing to give away her life.
And she cracks. Because she desperately craves that. True companionship. True care. True love. And Lenore, wonderful, selfless Lenore, is willing to give her that. Does it with a smile and sacrifice.
So. The only sensible thing to do now. Is to make sure she keeps it. So, she cares back. So fiercely, she's willing to kill for Lenore. So fiercely, that Lenore becomes the only other real person in her life. The only other real person in the whole world.
It feels special. They are the only ones worth fighting for. They are a team, a unit. Annabell Lee truly cares for Lenore because Lenore will always truly care back. And that is worth more to her than a million other lives, that have never known true care even if it stood before them, waving.
Now, imagine the heartbreak when she understands, that Lenore is willing to truly care for others too. She never truly got the fact that Lenore wasn't all alone like her. That Lenore had a brother who truly cared and that Lenore became a madwoman because of said brothers death. She doesn't get it, that real connections do not require sacrifice. It is scary for Annabell that Lenore is willing to give up a lot for people, she perceives will simply not do so back.
Fact is Lenore was Annabells first and only friend. But Annabell is not the first and only friend of Lenores.
Fact is that Annabell thinks the only way to be safe and get ahead is to play by the set up rules. But Lenore doesn't see the sense in doing that if it harms her friends. Lenore would rather rip the system and rules apart than play by them. And that's always been the case.
Even if to Annabell, previously, it didn't look it. Even if Annabell thought they were the same.
And the most heart wrenching thing? Annabell will continue to act like she always has, because she values their relationship too much, values Lenore too much. Because that's how she keeps the things important to her, her life, her love, safe. And it will continue to drive Lenore away, because it requires sacrifice of people Lenore is fond of.
They will only get somewhere healthy when Annabell gains another friend and starts understanding Lenores point of view.
But Annabell is scared of that. It feels unsafe. She might become a madwoman.
So. We are at a cross point. Either Annabell Lee gives in or Annabell Lee loses Lenore.
Which. Fun. Is she gonna give in? Not without a fight, I imagine. It goes against everything she ever build up, against every rule of being she ever set for herself.
It is going to be difficult.
And there will be loss.
I'm so very excited to see it.

Buns 🐰
For context, our readers started an Easter trend where they were drawing Annabel in a bunny costume and we were jealous and wanted to join in. Better late than never?

I sketched this awhile back when Flynn (Nevermore's artist) redrew a classical painting with Lenore and Annabel and I was like "wow that sounds like sm fun I wanna do that!" and um... it was harder then I expected! So I kinda sat on the sketch for a few months and finally finished it today!
The painting this is based on is Springtime by Pierre Auguste Cot!

But of course, it just HAD to be interrupted by Annabel, because her group meetings are oh so important.. hashtag cringe.

Fic idea:
Annabell Lee got stuck in one of those remote traumatic Academies for troubled teens because of her panic attacks. At first deciding that she's gonna be on her best behavior and ace the "therapy" to get out of there as quietly and fast as possible, she soon grows to resent that her usual tactics for rising in the social ladder barely work and how painfully boring and soulsucking the environment is. While she stays there she slowly gets to know her merry group of bootlicker elite (I don't remember the name of Annabels Clique or if they even have one. But like. Prospero, Montresor, Ada, Will) who are also trapped in the same institution and the Outcasts, a rowdy friendgroup that frequents a Thriftshop the Academy forces their students to volunteer for. As thus, the Outcasts way of Life actually becomes desirable for the Bootlicker Elite and over the course of the fic the Bootlicker Elite decide to Team up and escape with the help of them, growing friendships and finding New coping mechanisms and eventually running away, successfully.
Aka, Nevermore Academy irl but with a happy ending and no death (potentially death. I know Wilderness Camps have people die, but im not sure about the schools? Probably, tho. They all are nectful af)
Does that make sense? Who knows. I'll probs never write this. At most I will make an AU and scribble some Art for it.

I have a theory that Lenore spectre is the Queen of Spades as the exact opposite of Annabel
I don't even have a clue if Queen of Spades a real thing in western horror?? In Russian it's like a super evil woman who brought nothing but bad luck?? There were even some childish rituals to "summon" the Queen of Spades
