I think it's exactly that previously mentioned liminality in Lawrence that I absolutely adore. On one hand it's the core of the horror of her run. The rot, the river, her gentleness and volatile nature all exist in an eery, liminal space that fills you with unease even when she is kind with you or when you sympathise with her. And on the other hand it's also the core of what makes her a really interesting and beloved character to me.

I was recently reading an article about the liminality of being genderqueer due to not exactly fitting in with what society recognises as normal for my thesis and it really made it click in my mind why reading her as trans is so easy and right. Her struggle with herself, her struggle with finding connection in her own terms, a connection that understands her without asking her to change, it's all very close to that experience and it's fascinating to me.

Also, in a related but also unrelated note, since most of the endings in her route are very calculated (whether they end with death or a fate worse than death) I love it when she just goes berserk. She is ruthless and it makes me flustered.

i'm giving you a big fat smooch on the brain oh my g-ddddduh

i love my mentally ill princess with many disorders <3
