(having a good week) that’s right. the goal is to increase my baseline. make the spirals shallower until they spin lazily on the surface of the water, lose their suction. im not trying to fix it all at once, im trying to incrementally improve my way into something tolerable. and once im there maybe i can shoot for good

(having a bad week) and in my terrible forge i will temper the flames of ruin

beautiful women make me feel like. idk., a startled horse

[greelin]

hi ladies. sorry for giving a sprightly little kick in the air as i ran away earlier when you tried to approach me. I was just overwhelmed

[goldensunset]

i’m really sorry about my behavior. you see, growing up, my family- *remembers blaming all my problems on other people is really annoying and unhealthy* i mean. i am responsible for all the evils of this world and i bear sins like the sky bears the stars

Day 111!

[mombodryoshu]

my controversial reading of things is that valencina is a woman who is so very clearly frustrated that the abuse she suffered and perpetuates ended up amounting to nothing

'isnt this just text' yes but its far more complicated and nuanced than what people give it credit for

[mombodryoshu]

so to start off lets talk about valencina's motivation. not her motive, her motivation to be the way she is. she wants to get back into the thumb. shes been disgraced and sees ryoshu as her ticket back into the good graces of her old family. thats text.

but i dont think a lot of people like... Fathom as to how much valencina must of had to work for the love of the family bognatelli. she presumably started as a soldato then moved up through the capos. we know from soldato sinclair that the thumb is utterly nightmarish to be in especially in the lower ranks of the hierarchy

it is So easy to fuck up. even on a Good day youre at risk of getting horrifically mutilated in some way.

which leads into the next thing to remember that being. guys. the fingers are cults. all of them, not just the index. there is a lot of thought and behavior control Everywhere in the thumb

which, given it seems like it takes forever to rise in ranks because of the emphasis the thumb puts on achievement and merit, this means that valencina has spent so much fucking time of her life not only indocrinated into this kind of system but constantly fighting tooth and nail to climb upward and treading a razor thin wire. and then the second she was promoted to sottocapo, a position of power where the only person you need to bow your crown to is the actual head of the syndicate, something that fighting in an actual, for real war for couldnt earn her back, she loses her title in a matter of days due to an incident and is kicked out of her family entirely. Anyone would be fucked up and aggressive after that.

i think it explains a lot about her aggressive investment in ryoshu too. shes basically a stage mom on crack living through her daughter because she might be the key to not only having a way back into the thumb but restoring her pride and reputation. she refuses to let ryoshu enjoy that birthday cake because shes been denied the pleasure and relief that came from her own achievements. shes spiteful because ryoshu is still young and has the ability to prove herself without having to constantly one up the high peaks valencina can't reach anymore because the people she wants to impress refuse to acknowledge them. with the heavy level of cult indoctrination thats implied it is no fucking wonder her method of parenting is proving her superiority over a weaker person with less power in an attempt to cultivate them into something stronger. she wants power but theres a non zero percent factor in here that she genuinely cannot fathom a different method of earning that respect or dignity. shes someone that was cultivated in a hostile environment and is taking it out on her own kid

(this is probably too charitable of a reading but canto 9 is a very read between the lines canto so im just doing whats asked idk)

[sadchristianrobots]

hello op good analysis, would also like to note that the thumb is also a vicious boys' club (Sinclair's lines, "brotherhood" and "gentlemanly" are not words said by accident, Lei Heng's entire attitude towards women) and i will take the bullets for being too woke by saying "valencina is a woman lashing out at her children because she understands power strictly thru a patriarchal lens" and "Valencina probably could have only ever been a woman"
