99: oh no she's really died hasn't she. lamentations and gravy. the american dream! a godmother... hm. is he going to die. the machines are going to kill him

sounds a little like rebecca

chapter whatever XCVIII is: the sensible animal, the doubles and performance, womanhood! richard makes a convincing point. associations with bugles? string of pearls as cause of death is so anti-capitalism

i'm back baby. the momentary inability to refer to her children oo?? things and "these"s and stuff. todd's devotion to the church gets funnier. also bc st. dunstan is the code word against him. religion is powerful and can be used for any purpose!

1) NO MY BABY 2) taylor swift is responsible for putting this at the front of my mind, but .. in the sense that .. ophelia?

96: so so obsessed with both of them

95: she's not getting addressed by name.. also were these two inspired by macbeth?

94: beadle evicted from his own church. feels like. feels like i may be overthinking it. but i may ponder too. also the the. communion. also the the. richard's view on johanna idk

93: richard and sweeney as complete opposites hmmm they remind me of yellowjackets s3 natalie and shauna, the way richard doesn't need to ask for anyone's respect. also the way they are quite literally in hell underground. also the way that everything happens in pairs, even the wood boards. and did he just refer to the rats as gentlemen wow. like the dog with human qualities

91: that "st. dunstan" script scene literally sounds like an exercise i did once in my brief theatre kid days
