I love when fiction makes the audience feel guilty about their role as the audience. When something fucked up is treated as a joke but later it's recognised how fucked up it was and the audience feels guilty for finding it funny. When a character breaks the fourth wall to plead for help, and you can't do anything so you just watch. And you know that the characters pain isn't real, but they're begging for help and you're not helping because their suffering is entertainment for you

"I witnessed things that were wrong," she said of her visit. "I saw Arabs being thrown out of their houses in Jerusalem. But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground . it was amazing time to be here

i've seen some people say that they don't like helen because her specific brand of spiral is too evil and i just wanna say. i love that side of helen so much. i love that she's a lying liar who lies in a condescending and manipulative way. i love that she's a genuine villain, but only ever has friendly conversations with jon and martin.
michael's brand of spiral was very overt. all about confusion and madness and fractals and shapes.
helen is a lot more subtle. a lot more "you know it's fake, but you have to play along" or "you don't know what's going on, but you feel lied to" that girl is playing MIND GAMES she's playing 4d chess with jmart's emotions and i love her for that.
