to split yourself in two/is the most radical thing you can do

[pocochina]

So I'm posting this early because (a) it's ready and I'm bored and (b) it's quite timely for this week's episode. I could wait until after, but it might get jossed and I really hate editing (LOL CAN YOU TELL BY MY SPELINGG?), so. happy early Galentine's Day, eowyn_315.

Fffuuuuuuck this post. Is an excellent post and I can add nothing.

it further reinforces the doppelganger metaphor, the utter brutality with which some (arbitrarily judged to be worthy) young women’s bodies are objectified... but because of what they are. It’s a rare thing for a narrative to both have that be true and make it so clear.

Holy shit. Yes. Thanks for elucidating that.

I'm hoping so hard that coffin has the Original Petrova, because as great as I think it's been so far, there's still so much more mileage in this metaphor.

YES. (Also, I want to see just how many different characters Nina Dobrev can play, lol.)
