The glam, the drama, the horrible men (which is, once again, not surprising given they’re… well, men 🤢) and the absolutely wonderful Evelyn Hugo. A woman who knows what she wants and takes it, any way she can. She really embodies the saying ‘it’s not what the patriarchy does to you, but what it can do FOR you.’ I love the use of men for her own gain along with that of her lover and friends. Unfortunate that she developed love for a terrible abuser (fuck you, Adler, you insecure dickhead). Not that Evelyn herself was perfect, she did frustrate me many times with her choices, but she owns up to it. She doesn’t shy away from what she did, and that’s more than most can say, even if she doesn’t regret any of it. I still came to adore her, her life and the incredible secret love with her and her wife despite any choices I don’t agree with. I hope her and Celia enjoy being out together in the afterlife.
