safer to be feared

[justa-personn]

sharp objects is legitimately one of the most devastating and ugly things i’ve ever read/seen. i think about it all the time. it changed my brain chemistry. i love it. it’s so viscerally violently girl. we need more grimdoomtradgedy media that explores female pain and trauma and violence that gets passed down from mother to daughter without it revolving around men. i don’t really remember any book/show that i’ve read/seen that has gone as far as this one did, and been so unapologetic about it without holding back for fear or being controversial or disturbing or having female characters, specifically protagonists, that are unlikeable and not heroic and still make you root for them and feel all the ugly awful things they feel.

this summer I did the Sharp Objects Challenge where I spent a month with my mother and tried really hard not to kill myself

Amma Crellin summer

[m--rtyr]

My mother lunged then, grabbed me by both arms. Then she reached behind me and, with one finger nail, circled the spot on my back that had no scars.

“The only place you have left,” she whispered at me. Her breath was cloying and musky, like air coming from a spring well.

“Yes.”

“Someday I’ll carve my name there.”

— Sharp Objects (book), Camille Preaker and Adora Crellin
