The number of people laughing in the theater, during the penultimate scene of The Substance, made me feel like I was in the goddamn twilight zone. Look at what she’s become, she did it all for you. She’s still trying to put on a perfect show so you’ll love her. Her hair is burning off in the curling iron, she can’t put on her earrings, and you’re laughing at her. Where’s your empathy for the monster? Haven’t you ever hated yourself that much? It’s still her. It’s all you. Her despair drags ever deeper and you’re laughing

the substance is absolutely fucking bonkers grisly gorgeous horrifying and disgusting it's cured my body dysmorphia and it's given me 7 new disorders it's me on my period it's me in my dreams it's me alone in the shower it's me chewing 5 gum it's my ego it's my mother it's my future it's my worst enemy it's EVERYTHING

baffled by all the people who have been like "weird that they cast demi moore in this role when she's still gorgeous idgi" that's literally?? the point?? that you could be the most beautiful older woman on earth & still be devalued and made to feel ugly by society & then internalize those feelings regardless of any objective beauty??
