“Relationships between women don’t have solid rules like those between men,” says the Italian author Elena Ferrante. “I was interested in recounting how a long friendship between two women could endure and survive in spite of good and bad feelings, dependence and rebellion, mutual support and betrayal.”

*Valley Girl voice*: I must, like, not fear. Fear is literally the mind-killer. Like it’s basically the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will totally face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me, and? When it’s gone? I’m gonna like turn the inner eye to see its path! Where the fear has gone there will be literally nothing. Only I will remain.

We have this interesting situation where we basically no longer have privacy nor the expectation of privacy, but we also don't have community or meaningful connection with others, so we're all simultaneously both completely exposed and absolutely alone, and please understand that when I say this situation is "interesting", what I in fact mean is that it's "nightmarish and I wish I could wake up"

fandom will discuss whether Bella should've struggled with her mental illness after New Moon but frame it as this, like, device to punish Edward. which sorta hits on the right idea but frames it the wrong way. this isn't a "don't let my boy suffer" post bc the little freaks in my vampire book should all suffer. but. having Bella & Edward support each other through the worst time of their lives sounds like a beautiful opportunity to reset their dynamic. they come to the table as partners, share their pain, take accountability for their shortcomings, & figure out how to cultivate a deeper intimacy that allows them to move forward. Eclipse could have been about how to navigate an adult relationship after your whirlwind romance falls apart. instead, it's...this. & instead of discussing what needed to happen after New Moon to create this compelling love story, people frame the "should Edward have to confront Bella's depression" question as "should he or should he not be punished." maybe this isn't about inflicting retribution. maybe it's just about growing up. maybe childhood really is the kingdom where nobody dies.

I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.
