actually I am mad about the Jennifer's Body parody in the book Beauty Queens (2011) by Libba Bray (which is mostly a really good book, and whose author is mostly a great writer)

it's very much portrayed as "oooh look at this bad misogynistic movie that says women who like sex have to be demons! and the boring Good Girl only cares when the ex-best friend succubus tries to steal her boyfriend, because the writers think women care more about that than literal murder! let's all point and laugh at it!"

and I bought into that. because I was 18 and I hadn't seen JB, nor did I know anyone who had. just like I bought into Corsets Were Always Torture Devices because EVERYONE knew that was true!

so now, having actually seen a movie that is definitely an analogy for sapphic desire and compulsory heterosexuality and how trauma following sexual assault can destroy specifically a teen girl's mind, and realized that the messages are so obvious that the dissonance between the marketing and the actual content is the whole reason the movie flopped-

I'm kind of pissed that I was misled by a book whose whole point was "I see you, I get it, I'm on your side"

“do you know what it is to have your power taken from you? to forever surrender to someone else? i held power in my hands, i controlled my own destiny, and they took that away from me.”

i’ve recently been rereading through my favorite books growing up, the Gemma Doyle Trilogy

since middle school, it’s been like a kind of dream to draw Gemma and do her justice

this series really got me back into reading as a kid, so thank you @libbabraysactualblog ❤️
