#this is why I will rewatch sucker punch and keep it alive forever despite all the [gestures vaguely] you know

I <3 stories that posit madness as an escape because it’s horrifying. they’ll posit that a character sinking into a fantasy to escape real-life horrors that nonetheless persist as a happy ending of sorts and I will be cheering and clapping whilst shuddering in repulsion. nothing else has managed to capture those experiences simultaneously for me.
