This post goes harder than any post has ever gone before.

[murdercabin]

In which Alexis gets on her Paste Magazine soapbox to commend Lifetime’s YOU for refusing to romanticize psychotic obsessiveness just because the perpetrator clears the low bar of being charming, liking books, and not negging his object of obsession

(In some completely unsurprising personal news, I am still not giving Ezra f*cking Fitz a pass, and am grateful both to this show for making the parallels between him and Joe impossible to ignore & to Penn Badgley for categorically refusing to find Joe either likable or forgivable. And I mean ABSOLUTELY FUCK OUR ERSTWHILE FAVORITE SHOW for tweeting a paean to Ezria, at all, but especially today, this week, this year)

We chose Aria, the long reigning queen of WTF fashion on Pretty Little Liars, as style inspiration.  You just need some comic books, garden netting and a couple of yellow dish towels for the purse (pro tip: to get butterflies on your purse, just drench it in sugar water, stand really still outside, and they’ll come a-flyin’). And tape.  So much tape. With just a few easy steps, you too can stroll the streets of murdertown Rosewood with your very on generic white boy.*

* Generic white boy not included.  But just throw a 3 inch heel anywhere in Rosewood and you’ll hit one.

“We had 80 incredible women, all living in one Italian summer camp, from supermodels to the best female boxer in the world. It was rangy women just stalking around with their badass moves in droves, all becoming best friends and all super-intrigued by one another.” - Patty Jenkins

Goodbye PLL - Spencer recites Alicante by Jacques Prévert in Til DeAth Do Us PArt (7x20)

Doux présent de la présent Fraîcheur de la nuit Chaleur de ma vie

[murdercabin]

The real Most Lit Allusion in 7x20/all of PLL, a show which was always smarter and more elitely snobby than any mainstream would possibly give it credit for.

I tried to argue that Ophelia resonated because Shakespeare had made an extraordinary discovery in writing her, though I had trouble articulating the nature of that discovery. I didn’t want to admit that it could be something as simple as recognizing that emotionally unstable teenage girls are human beings. … When Ophelia appears onstage in Act IV, scene V, singing little songs and handing out imaginary flowers, she temporarily upsets the entire power dynamic of the Elsinore court. When I picture that scene, I always imagine Gertrude, Claudius, Laertes, and Horatio sharing a stunned look, all of them thinking the same thing: “We fucked up. We fucked up bad.” It might be the only moment of group self-awareness in the whole play. Not even the grossest old Victorian dinosaur of a critic tries to pretend that Ophelia is making a big deal out of nothing. Her madness and death is plainly the direct result of the alternating tyranny and neglect of the men in her life. She’s proof that adolescent girls don’t just go out of their minds for the fun of it. They’re driven there by people in their lives who should have known better.

B.N. Harrison, from “The Unified Theory of Ophelia” (via shakespeareismyjam)

Who ever said this was fun.
