i was just about to reply to your comment in my post but i'll reply here instead because she sounds great. franny's only been in los angeles full time since around 2008 but i think it'd be really interesting if they bonded over their drug use and became very close friends. franny is pretty introverted so she was never a very visible partier, but her friendship with blythe could have been one of the things the press pointed to as an earlier warning sign in the aftermath of her arrest. maybe there's even sort of this narrative that she was a "bad influence" even though franny was a mess long before she ever came to california. it'd be fun to figure out their dynamic now that franny's on the sober path. i feel like there's a lot of heartbreak and good stuff to play with there
