Happy Trans day of visibility <<33 🏳️‍⚧️

Recently re-watched “confession of a shopaholic”, “legally blonde”, “clueless”, “the devil wears Prada” and “the house bunny” and lemme tell you no one can compare to how that era in media represented girly girls as much as it did, sure it wasn’t perfect, but it just hits differently now that almost every type of trope or girl heroine is represented in a masculine light or not like other girls trope and  sees the girly girls as shallow and dumb. 

Like its so hard to find anything where girls and women just support each other, and if they are going to be rivals or not like each other pls make it so that its actually relevant to the plot and make sense for them to not like each other, and not just because women hate other women trope.

Director - Kelly Fremon Craig, Cinematography - Tim Ives

"I've been looking for you, God. I looked for you in Temple. I looked for you in Church. I didn't feel you at all. Why ? Why, God ? Why do I only feel you when I'm alone?"

I got the second Elle(s) book today and ofc read it soon as I could

Some thoughts:

- this book focuses more heavily on the inner world exploration, and I found the art to be even more dynamic and lovely in this one

- Blue takes over the host position from the previous book, because of the loss of her aunt and shocking revelation that Elle was adopted as a baby. The whole book is about rose Elle finding her way out of the inner world and back to taking control of her life

- we get a little bit more development on the other parts of Elle, since Rose interacts with them as she’s going through each of the inner worlds. But there’s not a lot there, if I’m honest? They all act like strangers that happen to be dragged into the story rather than parts of your very self who’ve always had a sense of being at least connected to you in some way. Especially since its implied that Elle has ‘had problems with this before’, and she purposefully made these inner worlds for each of them, we as the reader are left confused to how much they actually know eachother.. theres just not much there

- and as for Blue, the one part who’s been looming over both this book and the last, we don’t know much about her either, aside from being manipulative and stealing money and clout off her friends. If she’s supposed to be a persecutor part, she has no obvious drive outside just ~being evil~. (To quote my very own blue-colored persecutory part; “What a lazy bitch”)

- this.. ending..?

(The text reads: Wow! Embryos merged? So that means.. I really am six different people! )

Maybe it’s a problem with translation, but the tone of this picture and text really cuts off any of the built up tension thats been riding throughout the book.

- this book never explicitly mentions DID as being a diagnosis, so it’s more of a concept of multiple personalities being used in a different way…

I’m not someone who’s going to speak on what makes ‘enough’ trauma to create DID, because birth complications and adoption are traumatic, and it’s also not something I have experience with. I can’t speak on how this would feel for people who had twins and lost them for it to be portrayed this way, though. In the book, this is clearly stated to be some sort of Special Unreal Circumstance and I found that.. in weird taste..

-it’s not.. DID. I thought the adventuring through the inner worlds would be more about making honest connections and getting to know these parts of her more fully, but Elle’s journey was really just about pulling herself up by the boot straps and switching back out. She doesn’t really have trauma and this book makes it super clear

-I’m disappointed that there wasnt much time spent with brunette Elle because she really seemed to be grieving honestly in the last book, I thought theyd be helping eachother more. But its.. not reallyyy and its shown as growth anyway

-I like the series but I can’t really take it very seriously. It has the vibes of seeing all the major plot points of someone’s OC stuff without all the extra content that fleshes out the characters.

———

I might just be in a mood because I feel very out of place with my own DID at the moment(I’m usually fairly comfortable, but I think I might be having a DPDR episode), but I’ve been sitting on the Elle(s) series for a good few months now, and I don’t really get any deeper connection

I’ll get the next book anyway and see if any of it ties up more neatly. I know its the artists’ first comic I believe, so maybe theres not so much depth becauseeee offff inexperience. Or translation issues because I believe it came out elsewhere first. I dont know!

O well, enjoy my short review

Rated: Gen (Fluffy)

Relationship: Sam Winchester x Reader (gender neutral)

A/N: i finally wrote something!! Comments welcome!

Sam looks over his shoulder to find Y/N sitting at the one of the library tables, cheek in her fist, barely a profile seen, as they lazily flipped through pages of a tomb. He walks over to them watching their face as he goes unnoticed.

Y/N is actually lost in thought, the desire to move as their brain processes whatever is on their mind.

Tall, lithe Sam in his usual jeans a flannel stands next to their chair, commanding them, “Stop thinking that.”

Flinching, Y/N looks up at him confused and almost squeaks, “What?”

He looks into their eyes and smiles. “What you’re thinking about, stop.”

They open their mouth and close it, brow furrowed in continued confusion, and repeats opening and closing their mouth a few more times before slumping in the chair.

“Oh, no, you don’t,” he says and with a squeal of the chair on the wooden floor, rotates them to face him. His hands on the armrests and leans down. He gets straight into their face, noses touching and rubs slightly.

A brilliant, wide and gummy smile grows upon their lips into their now bright eyes as their cheeks pinken at the small, almost shy affection.

Just had a mental breakdown about my health, and I just want to go back to sleep, but I can't. I have to get up and exercise bc if I don't, I can potentially make myself worse!
