any female born after 1979 cant cook. all they know is dinner party, write their diary, murder, be lesbian, eat baked brie and lie

#she cant cook because she thinks olive oil goes in brie ! #flannery culp #the basic eight #tb8

I hope you all know that when I defend male writers and ‘women written by men’ I’m defending Daniel Handler and Daniel Handler alone.

We need to make The Basic Eight part of coquette literature alongside things like The Virgin Suicides and My Year Of Rest And Relaxation. It’s got everything: a morally grey, mentally unstable and likably unlikeable female protagonist, great outfit descriptions, murder, and surprisingly deep and complex musings on feminism and the nature of girlhood. It’s perfect .

There'll be spoilers if I go into details, but I think those of you who enjoyed Daniel Handler's The Basic Eight might enjoy Shirley Jackson's Hangsaman.

#also in general recommending shirley jackson to everyone who enjoys the haunting uncertainty that pervades the snicketverse #the basic eight #daniel handler #hangsaman #shirley jackson #talk talk talk

“She is the greatest to advise All I have to say and all that comes to my mind I hope she knows she is divine I hope she knows she’s the one for my kind Girl you know, you are divine

And I hope to god That she sees it on my face When she looks at me that way Oh god I’m afraid You won’t take my girl from me I will love her anyway She tells me she’s afraid I tell her it’s okay They love to chase me

And I love her lips, her kiss and the way she looks at me Girl, they say I’m just a kid who is playing with the devil disguised in jeans But she is just so beautiful She says I’m not alone It’s easy

I hope to god that she sees on my face When she looks at me that way Girl, I’m in trouble You can see it on my face I would do it all again” - Ana Hazl

happy pride month to gays who wear linen suits, girls who will only wear navy blue, rich girls with redacted names, cello players named after flowers, boys who think you shouldnt put olive oil on brie, gorgeous french girls , lesbians in love with their non existent best friends, and non existent lesbians with marlene dietrich lunch boxes <3

#the basic eight #pride month !!!!!!

the dark academia community is sleeping on daniel handler’s the basic eight, it should be right up there with the secret history as a first media recommendation

#dark academia #daniel handler #the basic eight #the secret history #dropped nutshells #like listen. a group of pretentious friends? a bajillion literary reference? an unreliable narrator? a murder on Halloween? absinthe? #come on #oh almost forgot homoeroticism
