Highest ratio of work to joke quality I've done yet for this comic. I'm still proud to do it.

same attic, same story, same resilience...

(BASED ON The Attic Child by Lola Jaye)

just saw an instagram post of a bookstore display entitled "cozycore" which included, among other things, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, and Wuthering Heights. I do not think you people know what "cozy" means

Just cried laughing at a youtube thumbnail of someone who read Flowers in the Attic, and the text on the thumbnail was "PEOPLE LIKE THIS??"

Yes. I fucking LOVE IT.

But also, honey, I get that you hate it. I'm not going to watch the video because I don't trust you won't claim that my loving the best incest fuckery in the whole world makes me a dangerous degenerate, but I respect that you gave it a shot.

100% here for hating Flowers in the Attic, but in this house, we have that shit in hardback and are forever mad there isn't a single fucking accurate swan bed in ANY of the adaptations. INCLUDING THE ONE WHERE THEY CARVED THE WHOLE FUCKING BED.

IT'S A ROUND BED GODDAMNIT WITH WINGS AS FUCK COVER AND GAUZY CURTAINS LET ME SET DESIGN THIS SHIT WITH JOHN WATERS TO DIRECT

One of the funniest lies X-Men TAS is trying to feed me is that Logan is afraid of Deadpool. No. No he's not. Why is every villain trying to stir up the Ghost Of Wolverine Past in the form of a red and black suit.

Morph/Evil Xavier/whoever: "I will drive you to madness by showing all the demons of your past!" *Turns into the most annoying person Logan has ever met*

Pr*shippers really be like 'Purity Culture is so funny,like just look at all these medias with canon problematic ships!!!' and then the examples they use are like.Lolita(Humbert is an unreliable narrator who's so self-obsessed he victim blames his own stepdaughter who's life he ruined because she was 'irresisteble' and Dolores is played as an extremely tragic victim).Flowers in the Attic(a horror story where the Dollanganger family's incest is potrayed as what traumatized all of them and unwanted).Labyrinth(Jareth is the villain and Sarah never shows any signs of liking him back).Hades and Persephone(the beginner myth was Hymn to Demeter,which is about how women in ancient greece had no power to protect their daughters from older men and how it's bad and Persephone is miserable the whole time,including struggling against Hades' kidnapping and descriptions of her being a little girl).Batman and Robin(there is no evidence from og comics writers that they intended it the dynamic/archetype/trope as a pedestary metaphor and fan spectulation dosen't count because they're not the ones actually writing comics and Devin Grayson has apologized for her misenterpretations and said she wished she'd never written them and that it was fucked up on her part to).Game of Thrones is a popular one too but George R.R Martin is a raging racist and misogynist who employs propaganda and caricatures all over his books and with other badly written and especially positively potrayed examples,this is almost always the same case!!!!Historically and to this day the elements in 'dark romance' are used as punishments for poc and women and woc most of all,including trans ones and just trans people in general and disabled people and every minority fullstop!!!They are objectively not morally neutral and you have to be a really cruel and self-righteous person to ignore that!Fandom history dosen't erase real history.Fiction is not reality but pr*shippers care more about fictional people than real people and that's why they're bad.You're the bad guys in stories too for a reason and your lack of media comprehension is not the fault of your sociatel structurer 'lessers'

really hope the kids today have access to random stashes of books in their teacher’s classrooms that contain healthy radicalizing content.

every time there's a protest outside the white house I immediately remember this one passage from a book series I don’t remember that described peaceful protesters being gunned down on the white house lawn and men with hoses coming to wash off the rose bushes

I was 10 or 11 when I read that and now I’m nearly 30 years old, and I will never forget that shit even though I’ve forgotten nearly everything else about the book

FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC: THE ORIGIN — 01.04 - "The Martyr" (2022)

[maculategiraffe]

rereading flowers in the attic and it's actually way more shocking now than when I was a teen. I guess in that way where when you're a kid you're like "ah yes, the horrors, I am familiar" but when you're a grownup you reread narnia and go "good god aslan they're CHILDREN"

Kusuo also makes life size replicas of people he loves so it's truly the Saiki family tradition <3

I was in my grandmother’s attic with some strange old man. She locked me in there as a punishment because I failed a test and she knows I hate the dark.

"An attic bedroom can mean independence for a teenage child. However, the lack of a doorway can result in confusion about boundaries and an uneasy feeling of not truly being comfortable anywhere." Suburban Child Rearing, 1975
