Idk I think Job's wife really went off when she told him to curse God and die. It's interesting how there's no oxygen for her suffering in the narrative. She lost her children too. She lost her home too. Her health was taken from her too. Everything she had was stripped away by God. And yet there's no compassion for her. Not in the narrative nor in the commentaries or the sermons. She isn't even named.

Consuming depressing media for me is more of a learning experience and less something I indulge in to associate myself with the characters... I learn from their faults and take with me their experiences. I hope this helped.
I have a question for people who read Russian literature and are happy.
How the fuck do you do this
Me when Fiona Apple said "steady going nowhere" :
I have recently started to become more ecologically conscious in my everyday life - eating out less, buying less, using more of the possessions I already own, etc... - and that includes shopping for clothes in second hand shops. And I am ASTONISHED at how many well kept, good quality pieces are simply lying around at some dim lit room downtown. Honestly, I urge everyone reading this to go to the worst rated second hand shop in their area. Avoid the trendy ones, go for the ones with 70 year old witches who'll smoke a whole pack inside the store in the hour you'll spend there. The true gems lie there.
Stay yourself, stay curious.
AS A PERSON MAJORING IN THE OLD TESTAMENT --
This is a really good observation! Haven't thought of it myself but it makes sense. Eve is also blamed throughout Genesis for the original sin heavily, whole people don't take into account Adam's autonomy in consuming the fruit. I actually think their roles are opposite - Camilla resembles Adam way more than Eve and Charles is similar to Eve. Charles is way more vocal and active in the group's activities while Camilla is very much a part of the bacchanal and such but is more reserved and manipulative. Camilla is also hinted to blame Charles behind his back to Henry for multitudes of things, which correspondences with Adam blaming Eve for the original sin.
Sorry if my English is rusty, I read Genesis in Hebrew so maybe my texts are different from the translations.
Bruh—am I stupid, did everyone catch this or am I smart? Idfk, but…Charles  and Camilla… prettttyyy sure they’re symbolic of Adam and Eve. The orphaned—“parentless”—incestuous twins makes sense now. Thanks philosophy and religious studies.
(Eve is made from the rib of Adam=sort of like the “twin of him”. Explains some of her nature too.)

Too niche?

Seeing people swoon over Lilith in the hazbin hotel fandom is a tad weird because they don't really portray her story right... She did try to be on top (literally and figuratively) of Adam, but she wasn't banished to hell... SHE RAPES BABIES. YEAH. Eight day old male babies? That's her type. Jewish people circumcize their boys so that Lilith won't rape them.
You all should read a bible.
Stay yourself, stay curious
