This is a band pic I took of the all-sister Hardcore Punk Band Maid Of Ace from Hastings, England.

In 2015 I had the honor of going on tour with with them here in California and Arizona. This is from 924 Gilman Street Club show. Pictured left to right is Abbey Charlotte Elliott/Drums, Alison Cara Elliot/Vox & Guitar, Amy Catherine Elliott/Bass & Vox, Anna Coral Elliot/Guitar & Vox. Notice all their initials spell out ACE. These ladies are hard workin' and put on a great show. I highly recommend seeing them play when they come to your town.

i’m doing my annual reread of “gone girl” (happy women’s history month!) and as much as i ADORE the movie, both as a movie and an adaptation (seriously i think it’s one of the best adaptations i’ve ever seen), the book just has something to offer that i feel like couldn’t really be translated into film: the narration.

like yes there’s some narration in the movie, but films are a visual medium. for the most part, you don’t have the character tell us what they’re thinking, you show us via their actions. but a book, especially in first person POV as the book is (alternating perspectives between nick and amy), you have the benefit of having the character’s thoughts, and their actions, which can often hint at some stuff the characters don’t realize or don’t want to admit. especially because in the book, nick and amy are both aware they are telling you a story. they are both playing to an audience, they both know you’re there, and they both want you to side with them. and that is fascinating to consider as you read.

and we’ve all seen amy get made into this feminist girlboss heroine, and i know some people are joking (i mean, i joke about it), but some people are not. and that is baffling if you read the book and realize amy is also a complete misogynist. (actually she’s a misanthrope, she hates everybody, but she really has contempt for other women that doesn’t come up as much in the movie.) i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: it is a tragedy the book cut out hilary handy, because what amy did to her is an EXCELLENT example of amy’s lack of care for other women.

the book also delves more into how amy, while brilliant and clever, is also not nearly as smart as she thinks she is, and she’s also a complete spoiled brat. the movie definitely mentions that amy was rich, but in the book, it’s clear that she’s never actually had to have job in her life (she does have one, but it doesn’t pay that well and it’s clear she could quit and live off her parents’ money any time she liked), and when she complains about being dragged “penniless” to missouri, she can still afford to not work and never has to think about the cost of gas. like she and nick aren’t RICH anymore, but they’re certainly not poor. amy in the book pays ten dollars for a carton of milk because she doesn’t realize she’s being overcharged. she expects $12,000 to last her nearly a year living in hiding, without actually budgeting (or rather, sticking to her budget) or compromising on comfort.

furthermore, the book gets more into amy’s childhood and why she is the way she is, and also how her actions affect people who did nothing to her. the book spends a lot more time with her parents, who while not GOOD people in the book, get a lot more depth and really highlight amy’s callousness. the book does more to explore her psyche to make it clear that amy isn’t some super-cool ice queen mastermind who Does What She Wants; she’s on the edge of a breakdown basically 24/7, she’s a total hypocrite, she’s completely oblivious to her weaknesses and other people’s strengths, she’s motivated almost entirely by what others think of her, and her ego is both VERY inflated and incredibly fragile.

and in the book, amy and nick are perfect for each other. seriously. i have personally concluded that neither of them are capable of selfless or healthy love--except nick’s love for his sister, which is his main redeeming quality as a human being--but they do love each other in the most twisted, fucked-up, masochism tango way possible, and they’ll live miserably ever after because neither of them could ever be happy with someone else anyway.

like i get this stuff had to be streamlined or downplayed to make a 432-page book work in a single film. but i wish more discussion of the story was centered around the book instead of the movie, because i feel like when you have to cut down on stuff, some nuance and depth inevitably gets lost. and i wonder if amy would be as widely idolized and praised if the fanbase was centered more on the book than the movie.

tl;dr: if you’ve only seen the movie of gone girl, i implore you to pick up the book. it’s fantastic and makes an already stellar story even better. the audiobook is also excellent, although it did take me a couple chapters to get used to the narrator’s voices. they’re both FANTASTIC but it was jarring to hear nick as Not Ben Affleck and amy as Not Rosamund Pike

Group C, Round 1, Poll 6:

Propaganda under the cut

Amy Elliott Dunne

She literally faked her own murder and framed her husband for it I don’t know how you can gaslight gatekeep girlboss harder than that. -Made friends with a pregnant woman so she could steal her pee and fake a positive pregnancy test with it -Faked her own murder and framed her husband for it because he was cheating on her -Wrote an entire fake diary and half-burned it so it would look like her husband did it -Slowly drained her blood over days in order to make it look like there was a struggle -Slept with a guy and murdered him just as he finished to make it look like he assaulted her -Bought a bunch of shit on her husband’s credit cards and hid them in his sister’s house so it looked like he had a spending addiction -Have you ever heard of the cool girl rant? The rant where a woman talks about how there’s no such thing as a girl with interests they’re all just doing it for men? That was Amy. - She has a history of manipulating people and in high school made a girl look insane just because that girl was mildly better at something than her - Lied about getting rid of her husband’s sperm so she could impregnate herself with his kid so he’d stay with her because she’s kind of turned on by how much they hate each other - literally the first half of the book is her playing everyone (including the reader) because she knows her husband is such a piece of shit he won’t be able to help incriminating himself TL;DR Amy Elliott Dunne is the most gaslight gatekeep girlboss ever and I need everyone to know this

Harumi

Oo boy where to I start. She emotionally manipulates the main character and then uses his emotions against him to revive his dad but evil. She ran a biker gang/cult and only let her three top generals know who she was. She went to extreme measures to get what she wanted, including burning down her palace and killing her adoptive parents.

some of her greatest hits include: Gaslighing Garmadon into hating Lloyd (his son), Gatekeeping being Garmadon's Son (even though she's not related to him and also a girl), Girlbossing her way to becoming the leader of a terrorist group while also being the Princess of Ninjago. siccing the terrorist group on the royal family, killing the king and queen because she hated them and didn't wanna be princess anyways, she'd rather be the evil puppet master behind a necromanced figurehead dictator.

Harumi is such a girlboss shes an orphan and was adopted by the emperor and empress and then BLEW UP THE PALACE AND KILLED THEM and she resurrected lord garmadon (evil!!!) and runs a criminal org/biker gang also she had this relationship with Lloyd where she pretty much just manipulated him but other than that I support her evilness

"Okay so after an unfortunate tragic pass of her parents dying in a freak accident, she has dedicated her life in taking revenge on those who are even somewhat linked to their death. I'm talking, she manipulated her way into the royal family to get resources, starts a cult/gang worshiping one of the worst villains to ever hit the realms, and also completely plays with one of the ninja's feelings to get what she wants. Oh, yeah his feelings? She knew he had trauma, issues, just wanted to be loved, AND SHE USED THAT before leaving him to die on multiple occasions. She's also one of the few villains to actually win. Like she gets what she was aiming for, she wins. So yeah, Harumi is a girlboss."

Fic: Sweeter Still (Stardew Valley)

Title: Sweeter Still

Fandoms: Stardew Valley

Characters: Elliott, Female Player

Pairing: Elliott/Female Player

Rating: Mature

AO3 Tags: Implied Sexual Content, Slice of Life, Poetry

Summary: Elliott shares his latest work with the farmer.

Notes: Inspired in part by this fanart by @mkunart on Tumblr. ♥ Also, many thanks to Runic for suggesting that Elliott would write his own poetry for his love ;)

Today, Elliott had something else in mind. “Poetry?” she asked, even as she plopped onto his bed. “Hmmm. Been working on a new, special piece,” Elliott explained. “No one else should hear it before you.” How his jacket ended up tossed across the room, she didn’t remember. Nor did she recall unbuttoning the white shirt beneath as he sprawled beside her on the bed, one hand holding up a leather-bound journal filled with his handwriting.
