girl, what??? claire do u need to be rescued?

I’m really stupid and didn’t realize they were roleplaying for a good 20 min, I thought that really was her boss and I WISH IT WAS bc her boss was kind of fine imo

for my sanity I pretended they weren't related but yes i sat through the whole thing it was camp erm idk

“When slaves love each other it’s not love.”

“No. But it’s just as serious.”

coworkers, slaves, sisters, madames. all conflated simultaneously. this is a massive W for all lesbians.
