Spoiler1)
- “they did what any sane parents would have done. They banished me here, hoping to rid me of my addiction” is what charlotte said with her whole ass. i am riddle with a kind of anger that ought to drive me out of sanity. sex is not an addiction you stupid bitch. it is nothing shameful either. and your sextape being released is a direct violation of your human rights and it is despicable and you do not deserve to be made to feel as though you were the perpetrator. you were the victim. YOU ARE THE VICTIM.
- “I would undergo psychiatric care to rid me of this curse if I had to.” i’m glad you’re willing because after that much religious trauma and sexual trauma and seeing dead bodies and all the shit you went through because you do not exist above or beside your trauma - you’re going to need it. ALSO THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SEX ADDICTION. YOU ARE HYPERSEXUAL. LOOK IT UP. YOU HAD A PHONE AT ONE POINT IN TIME WHAT IN THE UNINFORMED FUCK IS THIS?? it’s so interesting the way both charlotte and arsen were hypersexual from the traumas they faced and their response was dickstain and cursed. it’s so proportionate and appropriate that i want to eat it /j
- “I choose to run that early because I don’t want to end up looking like an overweight pig.” she is also fat phobic because it wasn’t bad enough. casual fat phobia was also apparently necessary.
- “An all-male kind of scent” and what kind of scent would that be charlotte? i would like an elaboration with real words. scent descriptive words. or are you just one of those assholes that says stupid shit because you have to be a walking breathing living billboard for heteronormativity lest you realise that your personality is thinner than air.
- the usage of the d slur also completely threw me off guard. i didn’t realise it was coming and cannot see how it would be necessary or relevant. there were so many things priscilla could’ve been insulted with and lesbophobia apparently won this round. causal usage of slurs is also apparently necessary.
2) when she said this was real life and not a low budget horror film was when i knew that this was not real life and was in fact a low budget horror film.
3) arsen only seems to be able to get hard and say yah like a blowup doll. which is really all the character he got, not even a personality to go with it. ‘gorgeous’ packaging but what am i to do with an empty box? charlotte is also the typical archetype of women in these sorts of books; is always trembling / quivering / shaking as if she is about to piss her pants any moment now & is “oddly not terrified” of the angry man that only knows how to snarl or sneer or growl or some animal noise that honest to god i have never seen a human make.
4) still screaming about the whole they are astrologically compatible tidbit like PUHLEZE shut the fuck up. you wouldn’t understand a natal chart if it flung itself onto your face. i hope you both get uncontrollable diarrhoea.
5) “I knew his and Phoebe’s darkest secret and now it made sense why they hid it. He was an older married man while she was one of the young, damaged girls he taught. To society, it was taboo, but as twisted and perverse as it may be, whatever they had must have been real by the obvious affection they showed in their letters to one another. But what didn’t make sense now was him allegedly assaulting Phoebe. Was he really just a perv who preyed on younger women? Or was there something else going on?” WHAT DO YOU MEAN ALLEGEDLY? SHE WAS LITERALLY PREGNANT. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU THAT NOBODY BAT AN EYE AT THIS? priscilla should’ve ripped his FUCKING HEART OUT. the fact that mc’s immediate response was to defend what happened is fucking disturbing. THAT IS GROOMING. it is delusional to believe that it is only twisted and it is taboo. IT IS ILLEGAL. her immediate response to doubt it and question it is exactly how predators want you to respond. they want your doubt to gaslight even a dead victim into shame. this is precisely why they always win. also it is wrong for the person twice your age to be involved with you when you’re under 25 because your brain is still developing. this is the origin of the pain gap. furthermore, phoebe has experienced immeasurable abuse and is predisposed to the fawn response that causes her to romanticise the exact kind of shit that mr rossi put her through. it made her see what she needed to see to be able to take the trauma. that’s how it works. IT IS DELUSIONAL. IT IS WRONG. IT IS ILLEGAL. IT IS ANYTHING BUT LOVE. and if charlotte had one singular brain cell— i can’t even say anything to that. imagining her with brain cells escapes me.
6) when they finally fucked and she’s like “He knew pain, he knew what it was like to be different. We were one and the same. Lost, plagued by our defects, but we didn’t care.”
let’s clarify, she was horny and got taken advantaged of by her own peers; his entire fucking childhood is imprisonment and abuse. they are not the same. this is not to say that his or hers is worse than one or the other. it is to say that trauma is not comparable nor should it ever be and the corollary of that is they are not the same. they are not one. these are not “defects” and they both cared. a lot. just because that oxytocin that’s getting to your brain doesn’t mean you get to say shit. like haven’t you done that enough holy hell.
7) the fact that when annalise force kissed charlotte outside the club, the bouncer let them in because of the display was truly disgusting. it is so fucking lesbophobic and it truly disgusts me beyond reason that such an act is made to be seen as a power move since they’re viewed as beautiful or that it is acceptable to be subject to an audience - this is the same platitude as bars having ladies night because what the bar sells is not just 1 for 1 drinks or free drinks or themed night, they are selling the women’s presence. this is exactly what is portrayed in the span of that one agonising page.
8) the fact that arsen said “Once upon a time, I came here to find an easy, vulnerable woman that I could sink my claws and cock into for the night” like ?!? what the fuck?? i’m so upset. i cannot express enough how much of a piece of shit he is. can’t believe he is getting a fucking kid.
what upsets me is the number of people that raved about this book. this book is horse shit. getting through this was more patience than i have ever had in my entire life.
