Cortège, Carl Phillips Pete’s Lament
okay, question for y'all:
For Violet's funeral, there was this epic and devastating cortege, right?
Now, I was thinking, would the same thing have been done for Sybil's funeral? Is that a thing you'd do generally or just for "special" occasions?
Because, if in fact they would have had a cortege on Sybil's funeral, CAN U IMAGINE?!?!
You can't tell me that this wouldn't have been the single most traumatizing scene ever.
also, imagine Cora, shit, just the thought of it makes me nauseos

I keep myself from saying too loud I love you until the moment you flush the toilet, then I say it, when the rumble of water running down through the house could mean anything: flood, your feet descending the stairs any moment; any moment the whole world, all I want of the world, coming down. --- Carl Phillips, from “Domestic,” Cortége
So, I have like zero images of Cortege when he isn’t in cat form...
