Okay, now I go rest. Have fun! 💗 🌷

[randomishnickname]

Thinking about Amma Crellin and her actions as reflections of the social hierarchy she grew up in. (spoilers under the cut)

Amma is pretty much Windgap royalty. Not only is her family extremely wealthy, her mother holds power over the livelihoods of big parts of the population. Her family history is deeply tied to that of Windgap. The sheriff and other officials are at Adora's beck and call. Everyone knows Adora and deferes to her, and this status transfers to Amma:

She plays the star part in the school play as a matter of course. She can get away with everything, from shoplifting to breaking curfew, from taking drugs to insulting and taunting a police officer. She's hot shit and very good at being a hot girl to boot, on the way to being prom queen like Camille once was. Her friends do everything she wants. Boys, she feels, are hers to control. Others are her playthings. At home, she's at the mercy of her mother. In the rest of Windgap, she's invicible.

Then, Ann and Natalie. Both outsiders who moved to Windgap only recently, their family without social capital worth speaking of. Both freaks, misfits - tomboys and late bloomers, still running through the woods instead of following the norms of girlhood and femininity. Still lacking self-control, prone to tantrums and biting. In the social hierarchy both of the school and the town, they're near the bottom - it's interesting Amma was friends with them once at all, but then this keen sense for social status often becomes more prominent once puberty hits. I think it's a safe bet they were bullied. They were not cool girls. And so Amma, who never faces consequences for everything, who's royalty, who has friends entirely devoted to her - she's safe killing them, in her good right almost, they're nobodies, and Windgap, that she knows so well, proves her right by not even once suspecting her. Had not an other outsider and freak, Camille, disturbed the status-quo, she would have gotten away with everything swimmingly. Her friends laugh about it too - Ann and Natalie's lives don't seem to have had much worth to them.

[I do believe her choice of killing Natalie wasn't entirely out of convenience either - I have the suspicion that Amma had a childhood crush on Natalie's older brother John that got rejected, and that killing his beloved little sister was a form of punishment for this unheard of outrage. Amma telling Camille John fancies her (despite him treating her like a venomous snake in the pool scene) could be a sort of wish fullfilment. Would explain how viciously she latches onto the 'baby killer' narrative.]

And then, Mae. To me it's VERY MUCH not a random choice to have Mae be a black kid. The only people of color Amma has probably ever met in the conferedate nostalgia enclave of Windgape are domestic workers that obeyed her, or workers at her mother's pig farm who defered to her, all of them incredibly lower on the social hierarchy than the litte Windgap princess. And now she meets this black city kid, who lives in a rented apartment, maybe with a single mom. That's not someone Amma would respect, or consider on her level, but instead I think she'd have this deep belief that Mae was her inferior and should obey her, defer to her. Did she plan on killing her when Camille granted Mae attention? Or did Mae refuse her somehow, got sick of being bossed around, in this fight they supposedly had?

And I love how all of this is both implicit and subtle yet crystal clear, in everything we learn about Ann and Natalie, the way their peers describe them (in contrast to the adults who are more proficient liars), in every interaction we see between the white upper class of Windgap and POCs.

[vijinxx]

what makes amma & camille’s relationship so interesting is like, when you consider amma’s actions under the lens that she killed ann & natalie, all of amma’s behavior & how she chooses to act around camille matters so much more

because when you first watch. you don’t know anything about amma. you’re entirely subjected to camille’s perspective of all their scenes together, and you build this idea of amma that’s summed up as pushy, attention seeking, etc. there’s just always something off about her. she gets too close to camille, she’s invasive, she’s rude and she’s mean but that’s just a teenager, right? you watch amma through camille’s eyes, and that’s why it’s so easy for the viewer to relate to camille, how much she wants to accept amma, entitlement and all. amma’s got her in the palm of her hand. camille falls in love with her because it’s so hard not to, this single bright light in the cavern of camille’s trauma and decades old abandonment issues

but when you see the last shot of the show, both camille & your understanding of amma dramatically shifts, because she’s not just a nightmare metaphorically anymore. and that perspective shift is so important. it gives amma’s actions meaning.

she suffers from spoiled brat syndrome but she’s fucking deadly and she knows absolutely no bounds. you rewatch the season & suddenly understand why amma takes up so much space. and camille’s character, and why she allows amma to cross her boundaries so much, makes so much sense. she’s the loudest in the room because she feels like she’s owed it, like she’s on the top of the world, and she breathes down camille’s neck for no other reason than the fact she enjoys it. because she wants to. and camille lets her. camille lets her

it means everything amma does is on purpose, and she’s calculated enough to know what will set camille off, and she chases it until she’s bored or until she decides camille isn’t giving her what she wants.

“you make me happy, i could eat you up”

“i thought you liked it rough”

“you’re like my soulmate”

“mama always said you were the prettiest girl in windgap… no, you are. you’re so pretty…”

“—you take care of them… you can practice on me if you want.”

“you weren’t curious?” “about windgap?” “no, about me…”

“sister, i’ve never had a sister… i just wanna know you.”

(in reference to cut on her arm) “if i connect these two itd make a c, for camille.”

it’s amma barging drunk into camille’s room at midnight and forcing her arms around her, it’s getting all up in camille’s face at the threat of richard on her skaters, begging for camille to do something, be dangerous like mama said, like her. it’s amma prying camille’s jaw open and kissing her forcing the tab in her mouth, it’s amma’s gaze splitting her open when she sees camille’s scars, its amma pinning her down with just a touch on her back, lifting her shirt up and tracing camille’s scars too intimately, it’s amma looking down her nose at her and sexually harassing her, it’s amma getting camille higher than a kite and laughing inches from her mouth, it’s amma killing her only friend in st. louis because she was scared camille liked her more, it’s amma’s jealousy of their dead sister because she had camille first and “you can never be as good as someone dead”, it’s amma wrapping camille around her finger and trailing her along, absolutely fucking spellbound

i could go on about camille’s incessant need to obey and her trauma with her own sexuality and her fixation on teenage girls but like. it’s just so. it’s so. if i don’t stop i’m gonna green out

    𝐢𝐭   𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐧’𝐭   𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧   𝐚   𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞   she’d   visited   before   and   of   course,   juno’s   first   time   seeing   windgap   ,   missouri   is   when   jj   has   brought   them   harrowing   pictures   and   a   case   file   far   too   thin   for   any   local   force   to   work   off   of.   it’s   like   any   small   midwestern   town,   folks   are   scared   to   death   and   biting   their   nails,   tossing   the   curfew   altogether   and   instead,   grounding   their   children   to   floorboards.   it   doesn’t   stop   them,   no.   the   summer   air   is   buzzing   with   cicadas   and   the   breath   of   fresh   air   is   far   too   soothing   to   miss.     ❴   and   with   rollerskates   skipping   across   cobblestones,   it’s   a   scene   far   too   comforting   when   considering   the   gruesome   discoveries   of   yesterday   evening.   ❵

    she   remembers   the   blood   curdling   scream   too   vividly,   slashing   the   conversation   she’d   had   with   young   amma   like   a   knife,   poking   into   their   sides.   she’d   moved   so   quickly,   fingers   dashing   to   her   holster   and   sprinting   to   the   alleyway.   an   image   she’d   never   forget,   an   image   waiting   for   her   behind   her   lids   .   .   .   and   like   all   things,   somehow,   it   leads   back   to   her   sister.   to   her.   knocking   the   breath   out   of   her   chest   and   squeezing   her   beating   heart   because   again,   childhood   can   fall   away   so   easily.   for   the   first   time,   juno   froze   and   stood   there   in   a   grim   stupor   as   if   waiting   patiently   for   the   girl   to   rise   from   the   dead.   gideon,   the   great   gideon,   tried   speaking   to   her   afterwards   and   juno   could   see   derek   itching   to   reach   out   for   her,   but   this   wasn’t   the   way   things   were   supposed   to   go.   how   were   they   to   know   she   was   ready   for   this   if   her   limbs   were   already   turning   ice   cold   at   the   sight   of   a   victimized   girl?   god,   the   sooner   they   are   out   of   here   the   better   .   .   .   

    now,   juno   is   back   in   that   same   spot,   at   the   roundabout   of   cobblestones   and   a   weak,   sputtering   fountain.   she   absentmindedly   reads   the   fliers   posted   around,   signs   of   normalcy   prior   to   a   killer   coming   out   of   the   woodworks.   windgap   was   becoming   quieter   with   each   passing   day   and   their   time   was   shortening.   it   certainly   didn’t   help   knowing   that   anyone   around   was   equally   likely   to   have   caused   this   destruction   to   life.   in   a   town   as   remote   as   this   one,   too,   it   would   be   so   easy   to   slip   away   and   disappear   from   sight   .   .   .   skates   skidding   by,   startling   a   huddle   of   pigeons,   juno   is   quietly   grateful   for   the   interruption.   she   can   never   stop   her   mind   from   becoming   so   cruel.   “   @violenthunt,   ”   juno   catches   sight   of   strawberry   blond   hair   and   dotted   freckles,   “   what   are   you   doing   out   here?   ”   and   it   was   no   longer   an   excuse   to   say   it’s   bright   and   beautiful   outside,   with   that   southern   politeness,   because   leaving   a   body   out   in   the   sunny   open   took   some   gall.   “   i   don’t   want   to   tell   you   how   dangerous   it   is   to   be   out   right   now.   ”

this is kind of random but this has been nagging at me for a little while and i havent been able to format it into like a question?? like i dont even know what my own question about it is but i know theres an answer you know?? but i was wondering if you had thoughts on the last names in sharp objects?? i always thought it was interesting that camille was the only preaker left that wasnt dead, and adora treats her like a stranger even though marian was also a preaker.

[contd] maybe im crazy. but i always thought adoras adherence to the realistic but unrealistic and kind of eerie social construct that literally drowns every woman in wind gap was an integral part in her character that i couldnt quite piece together in a way that clicked. like camilles identity as a preaker vs her mothers as a crellin but also most importantly as something other than a preaker is just hmmmm and i wondered if u noticed that too and/or had thoughts on it ?? - letterboxdanon

OGH yeas i have sooooo many thoughts as you are about to see by the length of this response because camille IS the only preaker!!! alan is both marian and amma's father, but he's just camille's step-father. preaker is adora's maiden name and since she had camille out of wedlock as a 17(18?)yo kid, it's not even the last name of camille's father- but then adora left all that embarrassment behind by marrying alan (still in her teens, also!!! alan sucks!!!) and having marian a few years later. adora cut herself from the preaker name through marriage, a normal thing that often changes women's names, had a child with that new name, and gained a cleaner social standing from doing both. idk why they didn't just erase the preaker name entirely by making camille a crellin but i think alan is so old fashioned that he'd be against giving a child that's not His his last name. maybe it just made it that much easier to hate camille, who knows.

iirc also adoras parents were sooooo pissed about her getting knocked up by some dude as a teen they both died within like a year of camille being born as well?? so adora really did a speedrun from child to mother to orphan to wife to mother of two, and i think for her having a new name and a new child with that new name was a good way to reinvent herself and her image- and isnt windgap aaallllllllllllll about image? changing her name while also continuing to reap the benefits of Preaker Hog Farm TM also means that she gets to almost fossilize?? the name and her family's empire/fortune, bc she still gets money from that.

so like! she treats camille as a stain on the preaker name/line because she literally is one in adora's eyes: she was a mistake, she killed the only other living preakers while retaining the legacy connected to the name- undeservedly- she doesn't adhere to windgap rules (or adora's rules, which are the same honestly), she mourns her sister too loudly, and then she leaves. but its fine, thank god she left, bc now adora gets to continue to reinvent herself and her image with amma and anne nash and natalie keene: adora crellin, that fine woman with her beautiful house and her beautiful roses and her beautiful daughter- bless her heart for helping those girls, especially after losing her first.

and then, camille shows up.

camille is a walking talking violation of adora's reinventation- she's a reminder to adora of her accidental pregnancy, camille's father, the deaths of her parents, the loss of marian- but she's also a reminder to the entire town of wind gap that adora used to be a preaker, too.

[violenthunted]

girl turned ghost discovers thirst for the first time ; she laps at her own saliva, coughs out air through a dehydrated throat, pleads for a glass of water that does not come for hours. mama must be busy, she always is until she feels that her girls are begging for her presence. it makes the reunion so much sweeter. when the drink does come, and when it does glide down her throat in heavy gulps, amma finds herself almost immediately spitting & dry heaving over the single bed of her childhood.

@reporteir : " lie down until you've got your breath back. "

out, she thinks. i need to go out. sound of skates against the warm pavement of windgap. giggles & pigtails. tails on pigs and cackling girls. rope around the neck, teeth pulled out. skates on the asphalt of a ghost town ; ghost turned girl. she needs out. "i don't wanna", she murmurs groggily, weakly pushing camille's hand away. camille's big sister potential got beheaded before it got the chance to grow into something beautiful -- amma doesn't want to play with the remains. "i wanna… i wanna feel the air." but down on the plush mattress, she lays. eyes look for stars on the ceiling, & find none. "fresh air. it's so moist." ugly word for an ugly season full of crickets & decomposing corpses. "ain't you fixin' to get out too?"

oh this is BEAUTIFUL

[wine-porn]

Look at that color. I don't have to explain that color to you are you know what that is dirty probably even can imagine what the first sniff is like based on that color. Meaty, nut-butter, hot dogs boiling and beef seasoning salt over sultry Dr. Pepper and cinnamon fruit. So incredibly spicy and savory and thick in the nose. These were so cheap too when I bought them. Dear dog I wish I would have bought more. I'm not sure exactly when the winery went away, I bought these about 2016 for maybe 30 bucks? I know they're popping up all over the deep discounters shelves these days so hey if you run into it I would definitely slam a few in the trunk and giddy up home. But please drink them, I mean at least drink one and visit them frequently because I only see maybe three or four more years on this. Luscious green bitter stemmy fruit in the mouth, sweet and salty and finished with elegance while not detracting from a wild live drum circle of ethereal Bohemian abandon. This is a gorgeous wine, thin and supple and so rich and concentrated at the same time--just that glorious thing pinot can do that you have such a hard time explaining. 2014 #windgap #pinotnoir #sonomacoast 12.5 #pixel #riedelglass (at Sonoma Coast AVA) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2QTdjHnpVy/?igshid=1talvpx1nfmt4

[lazy-filmcritic]

#SharpObjects is a creepy show. The majority of the dialogue is whispered. It's shot in cool tones showing off the environment. The background complements the storyline by showing the tone. We are constantly being shown; long roads, vast meadows, huge houses, and even long scenes focusing on one thing for extended periods of time. This is all intentional to build to the climax. This show took turns that lead down to some dark and twisty paths. I am forever thankful that I don't live in #Windgap with all these fake, condescending, passive aggressive ass holes. The people of this town are just as much to blame for all the murders amongst all the young kids. By the way... when or if you've seen this show, pay attention to the random words that are hiding in shots. They represent a lot of what #AmyAdams' character is trying to say or how she feels in that particular scene. This is a great show however it is not for everyone. Especially considering how slow it can be.

girl mutuals, follow me on letterboxd at windgaps <3

[manie-sans-delire-x]

what do u think about amma crellin? I dont condone her actions but i dont hate her. I know what it's like to have a mother who tries to kill u. My mother is a lot like adora. My hometown is also a lot like windgap. I understand how people hate her but she is so young and her mind is warped by her horrible family. I know what it's like to feel homicidal rage but i deal with it in different ways. I control myself. I guess i just want her to recover. Adora and alan are pieces of shit tho imo

She’s a great character! Loved her anger. I definitely don’t hate her, or even blame her really.

Munchausen by proxy is such a strange, interesting thing. If you don’t know about it already, you should look into the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case.
