Look at my evil princess. I love her so much. She's an unstoppable force of chaos that is simultaneously bent on assimilation. She is the worst person ever yet I am always rooting for her. Companies rise and fall based on who she wants to invite to dinner. I want her to destroy the world.

#bertha russell #the gilded age #I love her so much #she is a great anti hero #because I hate her less than the other society ladies #her money is unethical af but she is trying to change an also unethical status quo so let's go I guess #she's a great palate cleanser after Little Miss Perfect Marian (I don't hate Marian she is just an ingenue objectively)#I am such a bad lesbian #I tried to watch Gentleman Jack like a Respectable Sapphic and it stressed me out and I couldn't watch season 2 after checking the plot #and now I'm invested in “HBO's worst show” The Gilded Age #though in my lesbian defense: look at my princess and you will see the appeal #Also the Russells are exactly what I want to see for lesbian rep and what I hoped s2 of Gentleman Jack would be #Like two people who are in love fighting a social sphere that doesn't like them through Unethical Capitalism and Love #sometimes having minor spats but mostly working together as a united force #which I guess isn't what the diaries say so they couldn't do which is fair but still disappointing #to be clear: the show was really good just not to my personal taste #I just want ONE SHOW where we get to have lesbian leads with a Russell-type romance #I love her bird dress also #and her bangs in this photo look like they were made in the Sims 4 /neutral observation
