Okay but quick super random thought: If monsters can still come back from Tartarus after Medusa turns them to stone, but their former stone self is still there…do you think a monster has ever happened upon the emporium a second time, seen themselves, and gotten some crazy deja vu?
Has someone ever come over, seen their friend’s statue and gone “HAH her face looks so dumb in this one, I’m gonna buy it and give it to her as a gag gift” Do some people return immediately after and kick down the door like “hey SNAKE LADY that’s kinda fucked up that you put me in the FRONT for everyone to see!!! Anyway, I forgot my bag-“ Has anyone ever purposefully come over to get a sculpture of themselves, and they just come back a month later for it?
If Medusa can’t kill monsters, she must have made some friends along the way, and I think that’s an adorable idea. I hope she started a book club or something, and that’s why she has such a big dining table.

I said in the tags of my recent screencaps of Nick and Daisy dancing, "do you ever think. that all daisy really needed was a friend?" and apparently those tags resonated with more people than I thought they would. Now I think they call for a little elaboration.
On their first meeting in the book, it is established that Nick neither attended Daisy's wedding nor met her baby (who is 3 years old). Daisy says herself, "We don't know each other very well, Nick. Even if we are cousins." And yet in this same scene Daisy says that his arrival has her "paralyzed with happiness" and refers to him as "an absolute rose." She speaks of him and to him as if they are dearly close despite her own admittance that they hardly know each other at all. (Of course, this is easily explained when Nick says, "[She looked] up into my face, promising that there was no one in the world she so much wanted to see. That was a way she had." Daisy has a way of drawing people in, and making them feel important. I'm sure people make different things of this, some positive and some negative, but I won't dwell on it.)
But, perhaps more telling than the way she talks to Nick, is the fact that the first thing Daisy does when she has a moment alone with him is to confide in him. She says, "We don't know each other very well," and then, moments later, begins a story asking, "Would you like to hear?" She says she's grown cynical. She says she felt abandoned. She says — famously — "That's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."
And then she laughs it off.
Nick himself calls it insincere, "[...]as though the whole evening had been a trick of some sort to exact a contributory emotion from me."
But... I don't know. I've been a Daisy defender since high school, and that's never gone away; Nick's perspective may communicate a lot of truth that we wouldn't know otherwise, but he is not infallible. And, personally, when it comes to the depths of what's going on with Daisy, I think he's rather blind.
Daisy has a philandering husband who a) physically abuses his mistress and b) canonically bruised Daisy in a way she brushes off carelessly but confesses, again, within her first meeting with Nick, so I don't believe it's a big jump to say he's likely been physically abusive towards her, too. And with that in mind, I think it's strange to expect anything Daisy does to be perfectly and infallibly sincere, when, at her core, she is always in a fight for survival.
(It's the same reason I believe she stays with Tom at the end, and lets Gatsby take the blame. Tom is the only security she knows. Gatsby hangs in the balance. She can't run away with him, now.)
So, to get back to my point, I don't think Daisy was being dishonest in her confessions to Nick. I think she was being painfully honest— so painful, in fact, that she had to cover it up with that cynical mask she's gotten so good at wearing. Daisy is not a beautiful little fool; she only wishes she was.
And then Nick appears, and they're not close, but they could be, and she jumps to trust him: to tell him everything she's scared to say aloud: to have him listen. "Would you like to hear?" she asks. It's more than a question. It's a plea.
I think of Daisy knowing her driver's name, and thinking it important to use it. I think of Daisy knowing Jordan's name when they were younger, when Jordan was two years her junior and admired her desperately. I think of Daisy calling Nick "my dearest one" along with every other kind word she ever said to him. I think of Daisy reaching and reaching and reaching, clinging desperately to anyone who might hold on to her.
And they all let her down.
I guess those who see Daisy as disingenuous at her core wouldn't read it this way at all, but I do. I think Daisy loves desperately, trying to fill a hole that is never filled; I think she's looking for someone to save her, and nobody ever cares enough to listen.
Not Jordan. Not Nick. Not even Gatsby, despite his obsession.
And maybe none of them could have saved her, but they could have listened. They could have cared. They could have asked her about the letter that made her nearly call off her wedding to Tom, instead of dressing her up and pushing her to go through with it. They could've supported her, and not gone out to party with her cheating husband and his mistress. They could've stopped asking for too much and accepted the fact she couldn't give it. They could've done something.
Because all Daisy really needed was a friend. And she never truly had one.

"I love you"
I was thinking about Stone and his variants and their responses to if you said you love him (along with my little comments). It's a little angsty for some of them and for Serial Killer!Stone you get a little more insight on why he thinks loving him always ends in tragedy.
Stone/Canon!Stone: "You do? ...No one has ever loved me before."
(Canon!Stone truly has no idea what to do with someone who loves him, huh?)
Girl Dad!Stone: "Ever since my early adult years, I thought only Saira would be the one to say those words to me. I love you too."
(There's enough room in his heart to love you and Saira.)
Grim Reaper!Stone: "You don't have to pretend to love me. I'm already your weapon to wield."
(Every time I think about him, it hurts. And here I thought Canon!Stone hurt me the most.)
Criminal!Stone: "I love you too. You're the air I breathe."
(Please stop him before he tells you about how you're his entire universe. We get it, you're obsessed with the mafia boss, Criminal!Stone.)
Baker!Stone: "You have no idea how much I love you too. I want to marry you. Please do me the honor of calling myself your husband?"
(Baker!Stone is so soft and sweet. He'll buy you the most expensive engagement and wedding ring he can afford.)
Feral!Stone: "As you should."
(I have no words for this response except for that it somehow fits Feral!Stone so much. Why does he think you should worship the very ground he walks on?? Where did this arrogance come from??)
Serial Killer!Stone: "The last man to love me died in a dirty alleyway with no one around to be with him in his last moments."
(Fun fact, Kali and Serial!Stone were dating and Kali was on his way to propose to Stone when he got mugged. Yes, Kali's death was the preverbal straw that broke the camel's back and got Stone into vigilantism.)
Experiment!Stone: "I didn't think anyone would love me after what the military did to me. But I feel so happy that you love me because I love you too."
(He thinks he's a monster due to the fact that he's half-tiger-half-man now. But you remind him that he still has his humanity.)
Vampire!Stone: "Know that I'd burn in the sun for you if it meant you were safe."
(It's an odd way to say he loves you too, but at least the intention is there.)
Werewolf!Stone: "I don't need a huge pack, I just need you."
(That's his way of saying he wants to bear your pups. I mean, it's his way of saying he loves you.)

Marguerite Baker is my favourite ever portrayal of womanhood in horror and I’ve never quite been able to put my finger on just what about her is so compelling to me, but I think a huge part of it is that nothing about Marguerite and what happens to her is ever expected to be pretty. What often bothers me about a lot of modern explorations of the horror of womanhood, of having a female body, of being seen as a woman, is that it usually centres around young, skinny and usually white conventionally attractive women. There’s an expectation of attractiveness still on the women at the centre of the horror. Of course, there are exceptions to this, but they’re few and far between, and I’ve grown so tired of sanitised horror about the grotesque parts of having a female body.
Marguerite Baker is in her 50s she looks it. She’s got wrinkles and back pain, her hair is grey, she’s not super thin. She has two adult children and an equally aged husband. She’s a woman past her middle age and you can tell. And yet, her horror is entirely focused on her body, her physical form being twisted and turned against her. The infection that makes Jack inhumanly strong and able to regenerate from even shooting himself in the head has made her a walking bug hive, constantly birthing insects, perpetually pregnant, and eventually her own reproductive organs rip through her body. Before the infection Marguerite had no real identity beyond being a wife and a mother, and though she seemed to like that life it has been just as warped as her body has become. Her husband has become incredibly physically violent and directs that abuse at both of their children as well as her, the meals she provides them are made of the meat of their victims, and all the while there are bugs crawling inside her womb until she lays their hives, a process that we hear causing her agony.
There is never a moment where what is happening to Marguerite is expected to be palatable, let alone attractive. She’s a gross older woman who eats people and has a centipede that’s crawls up her throat, she kills people, she’s a cannibal, she spends most of her time in a filthy flooded house full of bugs that is falling apart, she gives birth to insects, and it is treated as disgustingly as it is. So much of what makes her an effective threat and a frightening character to be around is the fact that she is so completely unappealing from a sense of attractiveness. There is nothing pretty about what has happened to her, and the game doesn’t try to make it anything else.
Marguerite’s horror is such a unique exploration of the typical monstrous feminine that I have seen in recent memory, and even though the game is from 2017 she is still my favourite example of it. It is done so well and so frighteningly that I don’t think anybody is forgetting it any time soon
