#Massacre Anne

[scrapnick]

A romcom but they’re both murderous cannibals and commit tax fraud together? 🥺

Also they make out on the kitchen table to everybody’s dismay 🥰

N°2 for the book asks

Thanks for the ask kind anon and sorry for taking forever to answer! (this one was not easy!)

Top 5 books of all time?

In no particular order:

1. Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood

Set in an interesting historical period (Canada in the 1800s) + partially based on real events + focuses on women's issues + from a female perspective + includes complex, morally grey characters + unreliable narrator trope + criminal (sub)plot + weird historical psychoanalysis & psychiatry + some really great writing. Need I say more?

(Also the show is actually really good as well, if you don't feel like reading the book!)

2. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

I mean, it's a classic for a reason. Gay yearning. Corruption. Murder. Beautiful descriptive prose. But hey, this is Tumblr, so I feel like I'm preaching to the choir here.

(Still need to get my hands on the uncensored version at some point!)

3. The World's Wife by Carol Ann Duffy

I've reread this one more times than I can count. Duffy draws on the classics (mostly Greek mythology, but also fairy tale characters and even Faust) but reimagines them through a more contemporary, as well as female perspective. That could go wrong really easily, but this book in fact does a stellar job in my opinion.

Just read Eurydice, my favourite (I don't think I've ever felt quite as represented by a poem before). Or Medusa. Or Pygmalion's Bride.

Or, you know, and poem that is not Mrs. Tiresias - I like to pretend that one is not there.

4. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

Very much my teenage obsession. It's a gripping read written from the point of view of a teenage criminal that speaks in a strange mix of English and Russian that is at first barely coherent. It's raw, it's brutal, but it also asks some very interesting questions about the nature of morality and free will in a way that does not feel forced.

Oh, and the movie's great as well. Possibly the best soundtrack of all time. So good and so problematic that it's been banned in the UK until the 2000s.

5. The Great Cat Massacre (and Other Episodes in French Cultural History) by Robert Darnton

A collection of essays focusing on the microhistory of 18th century France? It's a real mystery why I like it so much, huh.

It's actually a bit insane how much I owe to this book. It arguably helped to spark my Rousseau and Diderot (and, in general, enlightenment era) obsession. I also sneakily reapplied Darnton's argument to justify my thesis (it's totally necessary to study 18th-century mental health approaches, give me all the funds now, please! /s).

Darnton is not only a hilarious author, but you also get a sense that he truly cares about the people he writes about. If you get your hands on it, I recommend reading chapter 4 (includes police description of the key enlightenment figures, like V, Rousseau, and Diderot!) or chapter 6 (the Rousseau stan culture analysis).

Maybe skip the titular chapter, especially if you are fond of cats. I'm afraid the name is, in this case, quite literal.

All cancelled by Netflix. You know what else most of these shows have in common? Queer characters.

OOC:

I am so happy to announce that I am finally expecting Rosette and Bubba Sawyer’s other daughter, Anne-Marie Sawyer!! I will soon have all three- Cain, Babi and Anne- in my Reborn doll nursery. :) Anne is NOT a custom, I just found a doll that already looked a lot like her on eBay. Her hair is slightly darker than I would have had done had she been custom made but black hair was shown to possibly be running in the Sawyer family in a more recent film, and Anne-Marie’s hair is supposed to look black-brunette, so I’m okay with it.

The Nesting (Massacre Mansion, 1981)

"It may come as a surprise to you that a physicist could even contemplate the existence of paranormal phenomena."

"But you admit to the possibility."

"I admit the possibility of the unknown. I admit that science is only beginning to understand its own discoveries. But I do not believe in evil spirits or painted phantoms in windows."

Carrie-Anne: One thing was cleaning up after my ex, but cleaning up after two overgrown man children?

Maddy: ‘Fraid it’s a package deal once you decided to swap spit with Drayton. Already plotting how to make their lives a living hell.

Carrie-Anne: Let’s talk about it after we’ve washed up. For now, pass the cig’ will ya sugar?

Another drawing of Maddy and @scrapnick Carrie-Anne. The ‘blood’ could have been better, but I remain optimistic <3 Right click and select Open Image In New Tab to see the full version :D

One teacher called her in tears. “She said it: ‘I can’t even let them read ‘The Diary of Anne Frank.’”

"I do not allow fan fiction.

The characters are copyrighted. It upsets me terribly to even think about fan fiction with my characters. I advise my readers to write your own original stories with your own characters.

It is absolutely essential that you respect my wishes."

- Anne Rice

Wouldn't it be interesting if, when Anne passed over, Jesus was there and he was like,

"I don't remember giving you permission to write fan fiction about me, Anne. I AM TERRIBLY UPSET!"
