Horror's best when it corrupts symbols of safety. A doll's a fossilized innocence memory. They’ve got what every great horror monster needs: infinite patience.

Kill your darlings? I mean…there's a reason why it's your darling in the first place.
Don't murder a character or passage just because of a famous saying. Diagnose why it's a darling before you execute it.

Deliciously cosmic indeed! 🛸
I haven't had a story in space yet...but would definitely give one of the characters a permanent food/snack they don't ever put down..like Han from Fast n Furious.
I am mostly 6am but being a freelancer, it greatly varies.
