harlots really did that………and that in-script criticism of society’s definition of “innocence” (that so many define it as being “untouched” rather than it defining an “innocent” as someone that has never tried to harm someone that’s never harmed or threatened them) is especially important in the context of comparing the “spartans” to characters like will, daniel, kitty, harriet, fanny, margaret, violet, amelia, charlotte, etc.

basically anyone that is watching this show and claiming lucy and fallon are “the same” or ~kindred spirits~ is so clearly missing the narrative point of this show that it’s laughable!!

thoughts about where marie louise might be

  • back in france as mistress to louis xv, having ousted du barry at least in this au
  • plotting the french revolution thirty years early, inventing the guillotine
  • performing a reverse outlander and doing coke in the bathroom of a vogue shoot in 2018
  • briefly mistress to a a wealthy duke who mysteriously died after leaving her all his money, now just chilling
  • doing the golden age of piracy a bit late, sinking some ships in the caribbean for gold
  • in a coffee house reading the london papers like ‘fuck, i’m glad i got out of that one’ and then putting on her gucci shades and walking into the night
