Alice isn’t Dead

[bigshoeswamp]

Keisha’s journey has come a long way, and so has herself. It’s amazing to see that growth, the way she took the story and made it hers, appear in the most subtle ways through the episodes. She still loves Alice deeply, but she’s not where she is for Alice anymore, and her story is not just an outlet for her feelings for her wife anymore. 

That is very clear, for exemple, in the way she tells the story about their vacation in the last episode. 

Once, in a better life, Alice and I took a very different kind of roadtrip.

She’s not telling it directely at Alice anymore, not always, at least. A lot of the story is told in this tender, nostalgic tone. She still says “you” and talks specifically to Alice, mainly in parts Keisha shows dependence or opens up, like here

“We’re driving over the mountains,” you said. “It’s supposed to rain later. This car will kill us.”

The man assured us that this was the only automatic transmission available in southern Croatia. Neither of us knew how to drive manual. Not yet. I looked to you to see your decision. You were always the driver then.

But Alice is not her focus, not in general, not anymore. Her story is.

I still can’t believe that Alice Isn’t Dead is being adapted into a book and TV show. *happy fangirl noises*

I had to half the size of this in order to upload it…. whoops

“Once, I was in a budget hotel. Doesn’t matter which one, they’re all the same. The same institutional carpet, the same rubbery boiled eggs at breakfast. The same wi-fi able to download three entire emails per minute. I needed a shower and a decent nap, and so I splurged on a stay. As I walked along my door, I passed a room that’s door had been left open. I looked in, and it was the same layout and furniture as all the rooms. Every room in the hotel was identical. But this room was full of televisions. All over the bed and the floor, piled up on the table. On the ledge of the window. Hundreds of TVs.I kept walking, it didn’t mean anything. And yet I think about that room regularly. The room full of TVs. These moments stick with us.“

i love how the podcast portrays keishas anxiety and how it is the thing that helps her fight in the end. it’s such a good and realistic portrayal of anxiety and it’s also uplifting 💕

I love that it’s so unapologetically gay.  I love that Keisha is mentally ill but also a badass, not in spite of that but at least partly because of that.

I love how well it captures the feeling of a road trip across the US and all the little weirdnesses.  Like, it shouldn’t make me want to travel, considering the danger Keisha’s always encountering, but it does.

Basically it touches every gothic-Americana vibe in my happy little midwestern heart.

Alice Isn’t Dead

[spacematriarchy]

how dare you

how dare you give me something unbelievably pointless and road trip related to puzzle out and obsess over and be disappointed by my own inability to complete

This is going to be ‘googling every Ralph’s location that crosses into the range of Joshua Trees in California within a six hour drive of King City and then writing four pages on it’ all over again

[autostraddle]

Once, and only once, did I ever let my brain consider the possibility that I might like girls in a way that was different than what was expected of me. I considered this thought, honestly and quietly, knowing that this had the potential to rip my world apart, and then I reminded myself that I barely knew how to survive with the identity I already had. I didn’t know how to be poor, and black, and biracial, AND queer. So I wasn’t. I shut it down. I quieted the voice inside of me, convincing it that this was not a world in which it could survive. I had seen no examples of anyone like me, not in my life, not on tv, not in books, so rather than be the first of my kind, I decided not to exist. Do you know how traumatizing it is to live your life thinking that you don’t exist?

I gave this speech a few weeks ago when receiving the Voice and Action Award from Campus Pride, an honor I am so proud and excited to have received. You can read the full piece on autostraddle at the above link- I am so grateful they wanted to share it with their readers. Hopefully Miss Lawrence’s speech will find it’s way to the internet as well because it was absolutely ELECTRIFYING.

[softest-archive-deactivated2023]

I’m ok. I’m gonna be ok. I’m gonna live a beautiful life and I’ll get to know beautiful people. I will create things of beauty and be surrounded by flowers. And I’ll love myself, and I’ll be soft, I’ll be kind. And I’ll be ok.
