... oh hell yes.

The slide from one state to the other, both of which are equally true and have always been so.

Also the horror-film elements, I love it so much.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Oh, God, this whole incident always felt like a horror movie to me. I mean, when the women stormed the castle and tore apart the guards and Marie is fleeing desperately through the dark twisty back passages of the palace and they're right behind her and oh God where are the children--real life has more drama than a movie ever could.

It's gorgeous like that.

Also it reminds me of Maenads, and --

ohshit I have fic in my head now and Puel is bribing me to write Revolutionbits anyway and.

You are inspiring!
