Gracias, Jamie Tartt!

same fandom about a woman who has done comparable or much tamer things, with a much smaller fraction of fans: this may be a hot take but no one else has said this and i have to get this off my chest. some of you might like her but she is a TERRIBLE PERSON! she didn't have to do any of those things she did. she put herself into a bad situation, inconveniencing everyone around her and showing no remorse for it whatsoever. you may like her but i just don't get it!! if you like her or defend any of her actions, you are probably a real life abuser and hate women. so even if you do like her, maybe think about that. you can like her but you have to admit her flaws. otherwise you are encouraging women in real life to murder others and commit crimes, which is ignorant and wrong. her sympathetic scenes are not even canon because they're so manipulative, performative, and trite. such a waste of screen time very obviously trying to get us to feel bad for a MONSTER! she clearly didn't actually mean any of the good things she's done. deep down she is just a rotten human being with no motive but to make other people's lives miserable. i'm sorry but that's the truth.

Like clearly she‘s keeping it and she probably got pregnant the regular way if unplanned - but she‘s so upset cause it‘ll mess with her career and you know, women don‘t need to be happy about pregnancy even if the context isn‘t gruesome. And I enjoyed that!

i just think it's boring. i think it's so fucking boring, it's not subversive at all, it's the male and female leads being shoved together in a dynamic that makes them boring. it's dreadful. please god

let's assume for the moment that alice/gemma is #real and #canon which means there are sooooo many juicy options about who this person might be. is alice currently in a relationship? is this an ex she's trying to get over? is this literally just a friend who gemma will see in this photo with her and misunderstand their relationship to one another and get immensely jealous about?

He's fine.
