i can just say things on this website, watch.

Had he known about them, Jopson would have been into 18th c. and earlier Transylvanian folk ballads. Not overtly, even though he would have heavily empathized w Kádár Kata whenever he thought about Crozier, and as an added bonus, women do not laugh in ballads in the majority of the time. would be a weird way to deal w his trauma and his feelings about/for Crozier, but was Thomas "perverse pleasure upon seeing the lashing" Jopson ever that normal to begin with...

#for those not in the know #basically the wicked mother will not let her son marry their serf's daughter Kata Kádár even tho he loves her and her only #and the son gets Kata's handkerchief which will turn red the moment she dies #his mother disowns him so he sets off on a carriage handkerchief in hand which suddenly turns red #by the time he gets back the village pig-herder tells him that his mother had Kata thrown into the lake #and he gets to the bottomless lake and Kata answers him so he jumps into the lake #and his mother sent down divers and they found the two embracing each other in death #she had one buried in front and the other behind the church altar #but two flowers grew from the graves and they joined when they met #the mother ripped them out and the flower of the son curses her for being evil and murdering them both #anyhow Jop would fantasize abt Crozier dying for him even tho he doesnt actually want that to happen #but yknow..love transcending class. symbolism..theatrics.#thomas jopson #the terror
