y'know i'm so grateful that i saw i saw the tv glow when i did, because now i can think about that and how devastatingly good that movie was instead of continuing to get incredibly angry about the book i finished that same day, that was great up until the last chapter, when it took a baffling and offensive turn that made no goddamn sense

#in which i read #boy snow bird #helen oyeyemi #yeah i'm putting this in the tag because more people need to know this #(cw for transphobia / sa)#i REALLY REALLY liked it for 90% of it! hell i read it in like 3 sittings over two days!#loose retelling of snow white by way of nella larsen's passing? cool idea; there's some fascinating threads to pull at there!#but then. revealing that the evil queen analog's wildly abusive dad #was in fact. her mom. who was a lesbian who transitioned after she was raped #AND THEN HAVING IT END #with the evil queen analog taking her daughters back to her home city to see if ''her mom'' could still be ''saved''??? from being a man???#there is so much fucked up about this i don't know WHERE to begin #it's just gross all the way down. do yourself a favor and don't read it
