103: :( so so sad for all the women. i'm still thinking about the girl in the asylum. the fact that "old and ugly" is what gets mrs. oakley :( it's like mrs. lovett with major bounce. womanhood is so weird. something must be done to get your way. why must a man be needed. he is indeed needed

are they the same person. i don't think that's an outrageous idea actually. considering how much this story loves doubles and disguises.

"I tell you, woman, you will be my ruin, my absolute ruin; and then where will your supplies come from I should like to know?" INCREDIBLE. STRAIGHT OUT OF TODD'S MOUTH.

mention of lupin's scam and husband-wife disputes over money right after todd-lovett disputes is so perfectly placed. bc mrs. oakley and mr. lupin seem so far away from the cannibal plot but it's. really. quite. similar. actually.

102: tobias is handled so very femininely

idk something very clinical cold and professional about him WAITING for confirmation. he can't think straight he's not giving you confirmation stupid

omg you idiots you can't say he's dead. i was just thinking about that egaskell short story where they were like oh no so and so disappeared mysteriously but turns out he just cheated on his wife and ran away or smth

sarah deserved a lesbian i am so sad

"It is a world of pities you had not sense enough to be my slave, but you must try to be my equal, which in your poor vanity you thought I could permit." !!! the contrast between slovett and rde winter in how they are handled after death waahh. one bedroom preserved perfectly a year later, the other trashed that very afternoon. men.

to catch a bus you have to think like a bus
