Ok so I went to an old apartment we're renovating and started ripping the old yellow floral wallpaper

And suddenly, for a brief moment of my life I was the narrator of The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Gilman

People who write novellas must be absolutely going though it bc I've never read a novella that wasnt utterly devastating. These people really have Things to Say and whats more they do it in under 200 pages.

#currently reading 'I who have never known men' #but this applies to: #of mice and men #metamorphosis #animal farm #the great gatsby #THE YELLOW WALLPAPER #my god #my list is very basic but those are the ones i have read/reread recently #ramblings #i've been reading lots of shorter books bc of work

When I say I want adaptations of my favourite books, I don't mean the Netflix/Disney/Amazon bullshit we have been getting.

I want a mid-budget 90s style indie movie version of The Secret History. I want a 2010s cheap looking AFTG show. I want short films based on Assembly or The Yellow Wallpaper. I want officially filmed Broadway musicals and plays. I want abstract movies based on poetry collections.

I want the people who are adapting these text to think about the style and the format and the story and how to connect these three elements into the best it can be, not into something that will make the most money.

obvious observation but it fucks me up that The Yellow Wallpaper is a ghost story but not because there is a traditional ghost (there isn’t)- it’s because there is a metaphorical ghost (a presence, a past, something that lingers) that eventually becomes “tangible” (Jane embodying the madwoman she was doomed to be from the start). Like sure, let’s put the woman with postpartum depression in the gross Insane Lady Prison Chamber Room, and let’s abuse her and gaslight her until she is as crazy as we all feared she was; it doesn’t matter that the Woman In The Wallpaper isn’t a literal actual supernatural entity because it still haunts the room, still vexes/compels the protagonist, and still exists as the latest occupant of the room before her. The monster at the core of the story is medical misogyny, plain and simple, and that’s why I hate takes on TYW that try to make the Woman In The Wallpaper or the Wallpaper itself some sort of living malign entity. They aren’t. They are just what they are. The root of the issue is that, real or not, Jane is STILL getting gaslit, STILL getting mistreated, STILL being reduced to an asset, STILL being ignored!

while I’m reposting my acotar tiktoks on tumblr because they’re more appreciated here, have this one:

what they actually had done to them (bed rest vs forced physical activity) was different but the similarities in how they were treated are very striking and eerie to me. locking up difficult women.

Random thought, but Y’know how the Distortion’s door is yellow? And how The Yellow Wallpaper is about a woman losing her mind? And how they used to use Arsenic in Canary yellow paint? And Arsenic poisoning in very rare cases causes hallucinations? Do you think any of those are connected or am I just making shit up? I think the Yellow door is a reference to The Yellow Wallpaper, but the arsenic think might just be me overthinking.

If I’d didn’t include your fave, it’s because I thought she would sweep too easily. Sorry.
