oh my god please talk about regcissy i’ve been thinking about them forever
the loneliest people in the black family!!!!! the spare and the youngest sister.. lowest in the family hierarchy.. seeking solace and comfort in each other.. the ones on the sidelines, the overlooked ones, the observers. and maybe it’s really about something else, reg projecting his obsession with his brother, narcissa projecting her obsession with her oldest sister.. or a way for them to feel like they’re in control, entering this god-awful affair as a delusion of agency or maybe it’s a power trip for them.. making them feel like blacks by possessing another black. seeking familial love and crossing the lines, wanting to feel desired like their siblings/cousins are desired….
it would be the most depressing affair in existence i think… wet and sloppy and pathetic, neither of them really being able to give the other what they want or need but not being able to let go of it anyway!!!! it’s the only place where they sort of actually feel like blacks.. ?? their only claim to the family name, having another member of the black family (each other) respect you/see you/want you/put you first. it’s the only place where they’re not on the sidelines…,,,,,
