#i love you insane girl

[grendelsmilf]

there IS a power imbalance in simon and betty’s relationship but it’s not because he’s her teacher (he wasn’t) or older than her (if he is, i doubt it’s by much) but because he consumes her. and he isn’t aware of it, is genuinely too self-effacing to realize his capacity for impacting others (how he doesn’t realize how important he is to marcy, for example), but he does swallow betty whole, even if he is doing so passively while betty is the one with the agency, dictating the terms of her own cannibalism.

when he says that she should’ve joined him on his last trip, he’s complimenting her, not actually offering her. but she accepts his figurative offer, and he is so charmed by her boldness and brilliance that he has no choice but to agree. he wants to credit her for helping him find the enchiridion, but she insists that he take all the credit, she decides to remain in the shadows. she says “i want to be by your side,” he says “i want you by my side.” he’s repeating her words, unaware of the positionality it implies. she cancels her trip for him, when he surely would’ve been fine waiting six months, or even going with her, if she had offered. but that’s not who betty is. betty does things for simon, not the other way around.

when simon speaks to her from the future, his aim is to tell her that he’s sorry, for them to both get closure so that she can move on and he can finally die. but betty refuses. betty gives up everything for simon, again, and once she arrives in their present she continues to give up everything for simon: her sanity, her humanity, the very order of the universe. is it any wonder that betty’s apotheosis, the moment she finally achieves her goal to save simon, is by being digested in the stomach of destructive chaos?

betty summoned golb on her own volition, was consumed by golb on her own volition, became golb on her own volition. she has always been chaotic, she has always been powerful, she has always made the conscious, active choice to feed herself to simon. she is the one calling the shots, but she chooses time and time again to sublimate herself entirely to a man too passive and humble to realize just how far she is willing to go to sacrifice herself for him, until it is too late.

Do you think Cheryl decided to evolve into painting when Jason's corpse was around because she needed to improve her skills to restore him in a Taxidermy way?

There was a terrible fire at Thornhill last night. I might've perished if not for Mommy's heroics. [...] After my ordeal at Sweetwater River, I was asleep when the fire started. They think it was a breeze knocking over a lit candle, catching the curtains. Mommy got home from the Jubilee and rushed headlong into the blaze, risking her life to save mine.

every time someone mischaracterises jay ferin as the therapist friend a fairy loses its wings btw. put some respect on her emotionally-constipated ass.
