purgatory is not a circle in hell, it is a thermodynamics lab where the water refuses to boil and the gas-flask is leaking and the temperature won’t stabilize
yes yes acts of violence often evoke eroticism and stabbing someone is potent penetration imagery but sometimes when i kill someone it's just because i want them to die
