i finished watching the uglies adaptation and it was mid...... except casting for shay was so good and i appreciate the racial diversity in casting. Idk I feel like adaptations should only exist if they have a vision for interpreting the source material but i am so so biased bc i wanted a sapphic interpretation of tally and shay
#im gonna get booed off the internet bc my favorite wlw interpreted relationships are written by men#scott westerfeld just understands women they all feel real and genuine which is no small feat in a book about getting plastic surgery#an inferior writer would've made it pointless fluff... but he's so cool#he has things to say and that's what makes the book interesting#tally and shay are not a HEALTHY relationship but i think shay being driven to the brink by her hurt over tally choosing guys over her#is given more depth when it's because she loved tally specifically sapphic pain of a man being chosen over u#actually though writing it out.... idk female friendship being the focus is cool too. maybe i'm pushing the romance agenda#when i say shay is in love with tally though you must understand#i do not mean she is attracted to tally and wants to kiss her i mean she wants to be the priority in tally's life and build a life 2gether#and looks out for her and prioritizes tally...... this is very vague ok i should shut up#SOMETHING'S GOING ON BETWEEN THEM IDK HOW TO SAY IT. maybe they do want to kiss#sometimes i get passionate over a ship and then i step back and go oh well I am grey romantic so maybe i should shut up about romance#uglies#tally youngblood
