Claudia's relationship to the audience in iwtv is driving me forever insane. she is dead and gone and her diaries end with 'fuck these vampires'. they end when she finally has someone besides her diary to talk to. when she begins living her own life without interference. and in order for me, the audience, to know more about her, and Madeline, and their life together, she would have to tell me. but she doesn't want me to know. she's done having her most private thoughts shown off as evidence in someone else's trial. she's done being a footnote, a fact-checking device, she's done having her life eaten up by people with bottomless appetites. I want to know. I wan to know her without the lense of interpretation, of speculation. I want to HEAR her side of the story. but she's dead and gone. I can't. she's just a ghost now. and a ghost is a wish. it's not the real thing.
#theres an edge of like . very modern social media anxiety here. like the consumability of people's. yeah Diaries in some cases. is more#of a relevant issue now than it wouldve been when she was alvie#but idk. theres something about her not writing anymore that feels like when a famous media personality Logs Off#the denial of truth and reconciliation. closing and locking the door between us. you Will not be allowed to know (consume) me anymore#you are not allowed to interpret (make guesses about) me anymore. and it drives me INSANE#also smthn smthn the over-criticising of marginalised peoples leading to their silence. their hesitation or outright refusual to#Become Representation. and that silence leading to further alienation -> more harsh criticism of what marginalised individuals DO say ->#hell dimension. yknow. claudia has THAT going on. as well as all the other miseries.#mine
