#and everything just tilted on its axis when lily got the letter

do you think petunia would ever indulge in sports growing up?

no but i think she would go to an all womens gym or yoga class or like. just the nail salon. and through that she’d accidentally stumble into an all women space which becomes her only safe space in the world. it wasn’t her intention, not really, i think she’d go to all women’s gym because it’s just what ’proper women’ should do. men shouldn’t have to watch women sweat and grunt and what not

this lyric from chappel roans femininomenon always makes me think about petunia !! just the implication of the married miserable housewives bonding at the nail salon which (maybe not so much now) is such a female curated space. it becomes this safe space for women where men just can’t reach them. they’re not performing for men because there just aren’t any men around. like it’s just… a space exclusively for women.. and i think petunia would accidentally stumble into something like that and it’s the only place where she can breathe sort of. the only place where she isn’t the only woman in the world who talks about how she wishes she could kill her husband and the other women don’t interpret it as a joke. instead there’s understanding and generations of oppression they don’t have to pretend to be lucky to endure
