how fucking miserable must dr. felix have been when margarita was like, a toddler. not only have he and his wife been dealing with a baby who LITERALLY never, EVER sleeps, for more than a year now, but now she can WALK and get into trouble,
and despite being a wealthy, well-respected doctor, he's still got absolutely no clue what is wrong with his kid! there's no precedent, and there's nothing else that seems weird about her, no matter how much you look for it. and she isn't negatively affected by the complete lack of sleep, so you eventually just have to, like... give up and get used to it. how totally humiliating for him fhfhdjdh
ok I know I started reading the fifth pierrot but this reveal in the short story preceding it is so fucking wild to me that I spent all the slow moments over the past several hours illustrating it rather than continuing to read. ridiculous comic incoming
sth I think was really interesting about EFEC is that despite Banica being the main character, she's almost never the POV character. We're shown her early childhood and her mother's abuse through her father, and her teen years through Carlos. Then her young adulthood and early decline through Juno. Platonic and Carlos then narrate most of the rest of the decline, and after he dies Arte and Pollo get a small bit.
The only times that Banica herself is the POV character for her life story, is when she's talking to the demon. We get to see inside her head directly when she makes her contract, and in the final scene when she defies the demon and dies for her baby. Then in iirc the epilogue, she narrates a bit from inside the glass, as the new demon.
It has the effect of
a) forcing the author to do a REALLY good job showing and not telling what Banica is thinking, what her motives are, and how she's been affected by everything that happens to her (which mothy does, 100%)
b) making those scenes where Banica is the POV character feel far more intimate than before, in a way that totally works for the seriousness and emotionality of the scenes, and provides a vibe of something like secrecy.
All in all, absolutely excellent book, and I now understand why everyone loves Banica and Carlos and the twins so much
my mom said she misses when I would read to her so today ive started reading her clôture of yellow when we have a chance, i also showed her the reference sheet art of the characters so she could picture them better, & when I showed her ney she went "aww, so sweet"
>:3
This is the final paragraph of Evil Food Eater Conchita
Thanks
also I'm 100% certain that hanne lorre is gumillia and so probably this "heidemarie" I haven't met yet is the real elluka. gumillias brand of autism is very distinctive & I love her very much and I am Shocked and Thrilled to be getting a book from her pov, I really thought this would be all Julia + Margarita
I should've read the evillious novels years ago where else am I gonna get sentences like this
