Okay we need to talk about May December

Joe's slow descent into depression and existential crisis and how he seemed to be frozen at 13,how his teenage son seemed to have more emotional maturity than him and how most of his life revolves around Grace's needs

Elizabeth slowly acting more and more like Grace from the mannerisms to the clothes to the voice and accent and even the lisp without making it seem like a caricature at all

The way Elizabeth seems like a voyeur in this story. How she acknowledges how fucked up the story is and the victimhood of Joe and yet still asks the producer to cast a "sexier" actor to play 13 year old Joe

Every time Grace mentions a "romantic" moment between her and Joe and then she deadass brings out a school assignment he did in 7th grade that was chilling I was just frozen looking at Joe's love letter to Grace is written in a gel pen in a child's handwriting

Every time Grace tells a "funny" story from her childhood and it's literally as traumatizing as it gets

Every time Grace interacts with her daughters and you literally see the cycle of trauma perpetuating

Every time Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore share a mirror I get literal goosebumps

When Joe says "this isn't a story it's my life" I immediately thought of My Dark Vanessa, when she tells her therapist "I need it to be a love story" and her therapist asks her "if it isn't a love story then what is it?" and she answers "it's my life"

Grace's gaslighting when Joe tries to bring up their first time

That butterfly leaving it cocoon right after the first time Joe confronts Grace about their first time

“This, I think, is the cost of telling, even in the guise of fiction. Once you do, it’s the only thing about you anyone will ever care about. It defines you whether you want it to or not."

I know a lot of people hate those "sad girl books" like my year of rest and relaxation and the bell jar and think their overrated, but there's a reason their popular: A lot of books with female characters written by female authors tend to be Mary sues. They are strong and rebellious, yet have a heart of gold, they perfectly fit into the western beauty standard, yet are humble about it. Why do female authors write such one-dimensonal characters? Because women are expected to be perfect in everything. To be beautiful, nice, kind, strong, heterosexual, funny, hard-working etc. bc as an afab person you will always be judged and never get the same amount of recognition as your male peers. This is why there are so many more Mary sues than Gary stus. But the problem is that no afab person like that exists and media like that sets unrealistic standards, that are especially damaging to younger readers. A lot of teenagers are imperfect and mentally ill and those sad girl books give them what they need. Those female protagonists are imperfect, make mistakes, are often weak and a lot of the times are downright insufferable. But they reflect the reality of being an afab person so much more, they express the pain we have in us growing up in a world where we're not wanted. Those books also prove that women too can be morally grey or bad and lazy persons.

I hope you understand why they are gaining popularity.

I swear old people are too paranoid about death and then I imagine myself at 76 years old, knowing death might be near, lingering between the cherry bushes mid town and suddenly I'm 16 again, desperate to not grow older, desperate to stop the time from moving. I hope death is gentle, I hope it's as forgiving as I was at 6, I hope it's not as cruel as you are to yourself, I hope it's as soft as the first warm body you touched at 17
