STARCROSSED LOSERS MASTERLIST

Whoops I’m bitter.

congrats lil buddy that’s the worst anyone’s ever done it

NT Live: Angels in America: Millennium Approaches (2017) dir. Marianne Elliott

Y’all it’s really good

i hate it when people ship weak men with strong women and i mean “weak” in a sense that these men are terrified of the power their female love interest holds.

They shame these women for being so strong, they tell these women that their newfound powers have changed them and turned them dark. That these powers have destroyed the so called notion of “innocence” these men had regarding the female characters. And in some cases these women even alter themselves to confirm to their male partners desire.

Stefan and Tyler just liked Caroline better when she was there for them and solely them and admired her only for her “goodness” the moment she turned a little dark or got a little sexually independent she was suddenly a slut and too “neurotic”

(disclaimer: i love stefan its steroline that bothers me)

“I think women like to read about murderous mothers and lost little girls because it’s our only mainstream outlet to even begin discussing female violence on a personal level. Female violence is a specific brand of ferocity. It’s invasive. A girlfight is all teeth and hair, spit and nails — a much more fearsome thing to watch than two dudes clobbering each other. And the mental violence is positively gory. Women entwine. Some of the most disturbing, sick relationships I’ve witnessed are between long-time friends, and especially mothers and daughters. Innuendo, backspin, false encouragement, punishing withdrawal, sexual jealousy, garden-variety jealousy — watching women go to work on each other is a horrific bit of pageantry that can stretch on for years. Libraries are filled with stories on generations of brutal men, trapped in a cycle of aggression. I wanted to write about the violence of women. […] I particularly mourn the lack of female villains — good, potent female villains…I’m talking violent, wicked women. Scary women. Don’t tell me you don’t know some. The point is, women have spent so many years girl-powering ourselves — to the point of almost parodic encouragement — we’ve left no room to acknowledge our dark side. Dark sides are important. They should be nurtured like nasty black orchids.”

— Gillian Flynn, “I Was Not a Nice Little Girl”

I like the shows about women going through gradual breakdowns because I feel like it maps out the course of my own gradual breakdown. It’s uncomfortable but I feel like my hands being held through this

Resources For Writing Period Pieces: 1900-1939

– The format of this piece in my Resources For Writing Period Pieces series is different due to it covering only a portion of a century, which has much more documentation and recorded historical details. I’ve done this in a way that covered each decade almost separately, but put all four under the umbrella of “early 20th century”. I hope this is helpful to all of you historical fiction writers out there. The other two articles covering this century will be formatted the same way. Happy researching!
