This thing is soft af like pyjamas and I feel very Elegant White Woman in it.

Ok so like normally when I read/watch anything that is written by a white person and has mostly white characters I normally think to myself “xyz character would’ve been more interesting if they were black/poc” or “this needs to be more diverse etc” but not with Gillian Flynn….like don’t get me wrong I’d love if there were more poc in her writing (why I can’t WAIT for widows) but like…I didn’t read/watch gone girl and think Amy should’ve been black, same w/sharp objects and I always wondered why I never thought this. Then it dawned on me, she (more than any white female writer out there) writes about the dangers of white femininity in such a gruesome and familiar way. something that may not be familiar to the culture as a whole (a culture that puts ww on a pedastal and coddles them hell thats a big point being made in gone girl) but is familiar to poc (esp black ppl). White women using femininity/whiteness to kill/harm ppl on the fringes of society (the three girls Amma kills are 2 nongender conforming white girls and a little black girl and now think of how many ww got black ppl killed) white women using their whiteness/femininity/presumed innocence as a cover for there bad deeds etc. the cruelty of white housewives and little white girls. All recurring themes in her writing. All things unknown to white society but WELL known to and feared by black society. Idk if she does it on purpose but damn she does it well

“My husband said I’m only allowed to decorate one room of our house for Halloween, because otherwise I go a bit overboard. Joke’s on him, though, because we just bought a new house and I made him pick the one with an open floorplan. He hasn’t figured it out yet.”

Me: YEAH!
