i’m not sure if this story is meant to be a trans-allegory, but the amount of times i thought “hmm this sounds like when i transitioned” was a LOT 🫣 i loved this story tho!! #BSUENG490

i…honestly don’t know how to interpret this movie? it’s obvious there’s transformations happening, but i’m not necessarily sure what i should be drawing from it’s metaphors. past traumas, unpredictability, gender expression, sexual confusion, pregnancy trope, and metal. #BSUENG490 #TITANE

i’m lowkey very worried for the ending of this movie… 🫣 #BSUENG490

i feel really weird & bad wanting them to live out the “happy family” trope, because i just KNOW something *sinister* is brewing behind the scenes 😔 #BSUENG490

okay……… WHY DOES NOBODY CARE THAT THIS ISN’T HIS REAL SON? that really just threw me for a loop but oh well #BSUENG490

i’m a little nervous but interested to see how these events will pan out for her, coming from a trans man— it is hard to try and pass 24/7 and especially chest binding. plus uhm… she’s squishing the carbaby ☹️ #BSUENG490
November 25, 2024 at 2:00 PM
after class: none of my questions were answered… in fact i’m left with more. did the car impregnate her? is it sentient? is she really now pretending to be a missing boy to escape police? my reigning question…. WHY? #BSUENG490

beginning of the movie: i am a little confused but trying to understand. why is she killing people? why does it seem so natural to her? how long has she been killing if so…? many questions. kinda uneasy and queasy. #BSUENG490

i actually really liked reading “The Likeness” as well as “Freshwater” the most so far and would consider keeping them. good suspense, good ideas, good metaphors, good books. #BSUENG490

i really enjoyed this story yet hate the fact that the only time she could receive peace was when she did it herself. also, such a intriguing twist to make the fossil the murder weapon… with lots of fingerprints 🤫 #BSUENG490

not only did this story reaffirm why i don’t want to have kids, but it made me so angry for Donna because her husband can’t handle a single chore???? after FOUR KIDS???? cmon now 😾 #BSUENG490

tried reading the first story at work… nope. tried reading it when i got home, fiancé was like “oh whatcha reading?”…listen i liked it but it gave me anxiety to read anywhere but alone 🤣😭 #BSUENG490

“And yet a manifesto is appealing to those who read it; a manifesto appeals for something by appealing to someone. A killjoy manifesto appeals to killjoys.” THIS. As I was reading I kept thinking, “wow this kind of sounds like me” and wouldn’t you know, that was intended. Loved it. 🥰 #BSUENG490

the glass bottle trick really got me tbh… i hadn’t seen that coming and the breadcrumb hints leading to it was well done. i was very satisfied with both endings 😌 #BSUENG490

this story was genuinely cool and intriguing to read! i liked how short yet action-packed the book was, and i love a good POC queen main character girl boss serving peace 💅🏻 #BSUENG490

this is a really interesting little novel so far. I enjoy reading sci-fi and being able to create the scenery in my head, and this story made that fun to do especially the red clay and mathematics magic 👀 #BSUENG490

well okay then… i did not guess that ending 😳 daniel=murderer yes, rafe and justin? no… RAFE AND LEXIE?? double no. but that was a very interesting read! #BSUENG490

“Stigma is a stain, a mark, and “spoiled identity,” Goffman writes, an attribute that changes you “from a whole and usual person to a tainted and discounted one.” this felt too real, stigma is so harmful especially so in marginalized communities that already are under scrutiny :( #BSUENG490
October 25, 2024 at 1:01 PM
I’m really curious as to how this will end now, but all I keep thinking about is how sad the housemates are going to be once “Lexie” is gone again :( And Cassie…poor girl. Flew too close to the sun and got burned out. #BSUENG490

WHO IS N? WHO IS THIS BABY’S DADDY?? i need to know who lexie was meeting like now 👀 #BSUENG490

i think cassie is playing a very dangerous game, especially since someone out there is the father to her deceased doppelgänger’s baby…. and the fact the house feels like home? 😳🚩🚩 #BSUENG490

“What I wanted was someone I belonged with, beyond any doubt or denial; someone where every glance was a guarantee, solid proof that we were stuck to each other for life.” —as someone who doesn’t really look like either of their parents, i felt this :/ #BSUENG490
