Nat's relationship with the Wilderness is so fascinating to me. She is clearly playing the role of the group's skeptic—she resists the rituals, challenges Lottie’s authority, and often positions herself as the rational voice amid rising hysteria. But underneath it all, she does believe in the Wilderness, perhaps even more deeply and purely than many of the others.

Nat's defiance and skepticism is a defense mechanism. No matter how much she denies it, even to herself, there is some part of Nat that knows the Wilderness is real. But unlike those who romanticize the idea of the Wilderness as a source of self-preservation, salvation, or hope, Natalie sees it for what it truly is: something wild, hungry, dangerous, and intimately tied to their worst impulses. Nat and Lottie possess a unique understanding of the Wilderness as something that lives inside of them all, rather than an external force. I think it's very possible Nat has felt it from the beginning, some darkness within all of them, and it terrifies her. Her resistance is a form of self-protection, a way to maintain some sense of autonomy in the face of something she instinctively knows could consume her. Rather than give herself over to it like the others, she fights it tooth and nail, perhaps knowing better than anyone what it is capable of.

okay but imagine, you’re 71 years old and are maybe thinking that you’re past the prime of your life and then you start playing a washed-up interviewer for a TV show and suddenly you have thousands (nay, more?) of people publicly thirsting after you and then you get to play a 71-year-old vampire and you get to fuck (on screen?!!) and you’re essentially a sex icon? god what that would do to your self-esteem

hello, i'd like to draw to your attention the campaign of wafaa abu yousef (@wafaa-abu-yousef). wafaa, her daughter kinda, their cat mimi and the rest of wafaa's family need our help. they've been suffering under the brutal conditions imposed on gaza by israel for far too long. their campaign is very low on donations, and they need our assistance to be able to sustain themselves. the exorbitant price of food and water and the lack of shelter are taking a huge toll, but with your help wafaa will be able to provide her family with basic necessities. a donation of $5 would go a long way.

please consider donating to help wafaa and her family, and please share this post!

wafaa's campaign is listed as no. 443 in this spreadsheet of vetted fundraisers
