121: sad for slovett like i'm sad for efosco and pmerlyn :'( her entire house trashed to pieces by her own mirror image the very afternoon of her death! how she refuses to sit opposite! it's so tragically freudian

and i just had the thought, it's only men buying pies yes but it's also only men getting haircuts yes? meaning it's only men getting eaten. the concept of a woman scraping a man's bones to make into a pie okay wait

120: such a theme of resurrection. mark! the dog not forgetting his master yet hmm. dogs being smarter than humans. i wish lupin had been more closely tied to the rest of this. and the asylum people. i wanted them to be not just parallels but actually involved. your honor slovett killed no one. your honor she played housewife. your honor i'm sad for her.

119: can't help feeling sad for him. the strict prohibition of suicide is really really comical

oh no internet archive DOWN so i can't track my percentages. anyway, todd and lovett are kind of romeo and juliet too aren't they??? one thinking the other is dead LOL hahahaha

118: so cheesy. so sweet. love.

??? different editions? they told him he died

117: plumping into the river lol. also who is narrating this and why do they get to decide what's worth telling. also the aside. theatrical.

116: the irony of the masses... wanna chop him up and bake him and eat him???

a swap in gender roles, no? mark in the kitchen, in domesticity, johanna disguised as a boy. so fascinating
