The Ho really is quite triggering. Mostly because she is fake + extremely mean. Anyone who has ever had an encounter with a mean/entitled/fake/narc person would be triggered by her, and also anyone with any sort of an intuition. Her presence personifies gaslighting. Like you know something is wrong with the other person but they're
oh soooo nice! and everyone is telling you so, so they and you begin to think there is something wrong with you. Don't get to confirm until it's too late that it was them all along.
Oooh yes the balcony scene. I was feeling like she must have bitten Sparry when they got back home. Or a hissed warning right before the family brunch so he couldn't say anything but had to sit simmering and scared. Also the mean eyes she'd given to Catherine during the carriage ride. She looked like my narc uncle's narc wife who practises black magic and has impure thoughts pouring out of her. Very dangerously black aura.
The way I fight it is I look at Chris Evans smiling or laughing. He's such a golden Labrador

I find his smile quite infectious and as Captain Steve Rogers I feel that he would be a very huggable teddy bear. Or I send funny reels to my closest friends at 3am - nice stuff for them to see when they wake up, and bonus points if I wake them up then because it's said that if you wake up at 3am or so, you're being haunted

and I consciously recall
@Cassandra333's prayers and all the funny and cute and sweet things we all share here. Basically, fight the darkness with as much light as you can find.
I did light a masala tea candle for you - masala tea is the cure for all evils. Way better than alcohol. You can have it when you have a sore throat or are cold or are hungry or hot or need an energy boost. Tea with friends, tea with colleagues, tea with strangers, tea when it's raining, tea at birthdays, funerals, weddings, tea after breakup, though mostly not during dates because tea in cafes is ridiculously overpriced. You can throw tea at your enemies but only in extreme cases and only if it is badly made.
I want tea now

I'll put curry leaves in it. Yummy.
Yes! Thank you! My first pillar candle in almost two decades. Smegsy did
some good - probably wouldn't have gone back to making non-container candles if I didn't have our Hero Candle to serve as inspiration

It smells like Indian roses - we call them 'desi gulaab' or 'shahi gulaab' (royal rose). Deeper and I guess more plant-y than the English Rose scent from Yardley London. Can't pinpoint the nuances since my nose never worked very well and the virus messed up what did work

If you ever come across genuine 'ittar' (not the commercial stuff or branded/designer perfumes misnamed as ittar), that's what it would be like.
Who knows, maybe some day we'll all be sitting together IRL sharing our crafts and food and beverages with each other

Hope you are doing better now!
