ok detective beating the fresh fuck outta ivory just because she wouldn't go and be his scapegoat was dark and fucked up and so was the other shit he did (seriously, what's this guy's problem?) but honestly?
everyone else's reactions to that shit was wholesome as hell. clown (i think it was clown?) telling the maids to knock it off with the staring just because ivory felt uncomfortable with it, and then when ivory stumbles back into the manor with a concession she gets treated with love and compassion and then the hemlocke family talk about it and they're just unanimously "god. fuck this guy." even zombie doesn't say some shit like "maybe she deserved it. maybe she wasn't being Woman Enough" or something nope it's just "fuck this guy" all the whole way and "ok let's have the staff have the vocation now just to get away from him"
pcool.
sorry if this post is weird btw i. just thought it was real neat.
