a24 should adapt flowers in the attic into a movie (or one of the books from the series)

Chris, Bart, and Jory: the Saddest Theme in the Flowers of the Attic Film Series

I swear to you, all morality leaves my body when it comes to the Dollanganger siblings. (We're speaking the VC Andrews screen adaptions, as the books are wayyyy too messy for me to make excuses for the utter sexual exploitation of Cathy and her rejection of consent) Cathy and Chris had to fight through hell with tooth and nail, and where I absolutely am disgusted by the incestuous content presented in these films, its purely because they have been clouded in so much darkness that I just want them to be happy.

Which makes the judgment (not that those who judge don't deserve to judge, it is fucking gross under any other circumstance), so much harsher, because the characters that judge them through the duration of the series didn't experience the endless trauma Chris and Cathy did. They bonded through the things only they fought through together, and Chris was more than what he was to Cathy, which was why it was seamless for him to father Cathy's children. Though it hurt him to see her love other men and bed other men, Chris was there from the second both Jory and Bart were born, raising them, providing for them, and most of all, loving them. It is something in the film series that Chris doesn't get enough recognition, because Chris sure as hell didn't have to do this much for Cathy, but because he loved her, he loved Jory and Bart, too.

Which leads to my most hated part of the film series. How Bart completely throws all of Chris' love in his face, and I know it's a driving plot point, but it's so unfair to Chris with all he's fought through to also be betrayed by one of his sons. It's bonkers to me. Chris will never not deserve better. He deserved to live happily with Cathy, and embrace his sons lovingly, and create more of a home that was warm and comfortable. Chris Dollanganger bore a majority of the hurt for his siblings, and still was walked all over for providing, loving and protecting his family. This is the man that gives in to Jory's grandmother's blackmail so he wouldn't lose him, and would rather die than refer to Bart as his "stepson."

Christopher Dollanganger in the films >>>>

honestly garden of shadows is SUCH a good prequel in my opinion. like it is it's own book, but it adds even more depth to all the books before it. it's also completely fucking wild, too. like.... completely off the rails. I love it. I think it may be my favorite out of the series

#my official rankings in order of most to least favorite are:#garden of shadows #if there be thorns #flowers in the attic #petals on the wind #seeds of yesterday

I'm on page 211 of 'If There Be Thorns' and can I just say that I wish Jory would beat Bart's ass!

corrine the child murderer: don’t talk to john amos he’s fucked up

#mystuff #flowers in the attic #the dollanganger series #if there be thorns #OH MAN THE END OF PETALS WAS #so many things i blocked out lol #like that yeah! cathy does bring up cory being in the other part of the attic #what i completely forgot was that immediately after making this accusation #corrine definitely burned down foxworth #TO HIDE THE EVIDENCE #ANNNNND #SHE URGED BART TO GO BACK INTO THE HOUSE FOR OLIVIA #and not for a second do i believe it's bc she wanted olivia to be saved #BUT BC BART WAS THE ONLY OTHER WITNESS TO THE CONFRONTATION #villain for the ages omfg #if there be thorns is just insane absolutely fucking insane #bc whatever her intentions are #corrine's the only person who can truly communicate with bart in a sympathetic way #so you see this weird wild little kid become friends with corrine the mystery veiled half-ghost who's technically not lying #but is so fantastical that ITS NORMAL FOR BART #who exaggerates everything and lives in his own world #OH MAN JUST #how vivid his imagination is compared to chris and cathy who used that skill to survive in the attic #anyway i love how smart jory and bart are #and how much of chris and cathy did ultimately rub off on them #despite chris not being their dad #bc at every turn as things keep getting weirder and worse #there's always a streak of reason the same as cathy every time corrine came up to the attic #WTF IS ACTUALLY GOING ON HUH? WHY WON"T ANYONE TELL ME THE TRUTH #it's so good

I writing a fic about The Foxworths and I started it based on the book garden of shadows and now I’m wondering if I should change it to the be in the limited time movie series.

It wouldn’t be too much of a pain to change it but I feel like I’m in a writers block until I figure it out.

Ideally I would do a mix

Anyone ever think of the parallels between Flowers in the Attic and the biblical story of the Forbidden Fruit?

Like God put the forbidden fruit in the garden and warned Adam and Eve not to eat it- putting the thought in their minds in the first place. And if God is all knowing then he knew they would eat it and just wanted an excuse to punish them. So when they do eat, he punishes them so.

In Fita the grandmother puts the idea of incest in the kids heads to the point of obsessive thought. Constantly warning them against it when they probably never would have come to such an idea on their own. And the whole while, Olivia believes they eventually will commit incest but she just sits and waits for it so she can punish them.

You think this was on purpose? Lets discuss

You should draw that girl with missing teeth. You should draw that girl with a crooked nose. You should draw that girl with a double chin. You should draw that girl with fat on her body. You should draw that girl with a buzz cut. You should draw that girl with large eyebrows. You should draw that girl with a lazy eye. You should draw that girl with large nostrils. You should draw that girl smiling with gums. You should draw that girl with body hair. It's enrichment for her, treat her right
