The little nod Lucille gives when Thomas says “We would be free. Free, Lucille.”
She would have left Allerdale Hall for him I’m sobbing
Just imagine if they had freed themselves of all of their demons and their past.

Very important info re: Shadow of a Doubt 👀
--
I had no idea that he had said that!
Also, it doesn't seem super related to Truffaut's question. I think he was just looking for an excuse to say it!

People really try to say that Lucille "groomed" Thomas, as if she wasn't a child as well, as if they weren't just 2 years apart. These antis really need to learn what words mean, because they throw around "grooming" and "abuse" when it isn't there. They also say she abused him, even though Guillermo — and I'm pretty sure Tom and Jessica, too — said it was a mutual relationship. These people hate consensual incest so much that they'd always rather it be abusive — they'd rather it be abuse than consensual, then they blame whichever character they dislike. (And they LOVE Thomas because they love Tom H.) And they call US the bad guys... when they crave these relationships to be abusive and non-consensual. Sounds like a kink for them. 🤔
Yeah, why try to make the relationship sound worse than it was? Except, as you said, to exculpate Thomas and not accept that he not only loved Lucille and engaged in a consensual incestuous relationship with her, but did a lot of bad things that he would have done to Edith, too, if he hadn't inconveniently fallen for her.
Thomas and Lucille's relationship was not a glowing example of health and function, but Lucille as the villain end of story is not an interpretation that matches up with canon, with director/writer or cast commentary, or logic.
It's so much more messy and interesting when you admit that Thomas had agency, and Lucille started out as a victim.

I’m a fan of Lifetime’s Dollanganger saga, but I wish they were actually faithful to the books. At least the first two books. It’s like they were re-written with unhinged Chris/Cathy shipping goggles 🤣, but even I, a Chris/Cathy shipper, still want to see a more accurate version. I want the whole 40s hairstyles and rich southern opulence. I want Chris calling Cathy my fair lady and singing dance, ballerina, dance near the water at night.
And while we’re discussing book!Chris’s flaws, let’s discuss Cathy’s because girl was half insane by the end of Petals (book). 😂
If they make another version of Flowers in the Attic, I won't complain. I'd be happy to see a filmmaker experiment with yet another adaptation and do something the other two movies didn't do.
I didn't really feel like that ask was the right context for getting into it, but book Cathy had her own flaws for sure and wasn't exactly the easiest person to be in love with. There were times when Chris had to be the sane one and keep everything from falling apart.
