The real problem with books-turned-movies isn’t “omg they didn’t include every single word in the book” it’s “omg they completely overlooked the main theme, threw out any significant allegories, took away all the emotional pull, an turned it into a boring action movie with a love triangle in it”

Rule: tag 6 followers you want to know better
Relationship status: Told myself I wouldn’t pursue a relationship until I finish this draft of my novel, but there’s an engineer sending me elephants and he’s kind of cute, so. We’ll see.
Favourite Colour: Symbolically, Red. Because passion/love/cherry-flavored things. But like, aesthetically? I prefer writing everything in purple pen.
Pets: My roommate had a cat, once, and my sister has a dog. And lots of my friends are having babies. I’m excellent at loving creatures that I’m not responsible for.
Last song: Liability, by Lorde. A friend posted a cover of it on Facebook, so I looked up the original. The cover was better. (No offense, Lorde.)
First Fandom: The only fandom I would say I actively belong to is Harry Potter. Harry Potter is my Past, Present, and Future. I’ve watched every episode of Potter Puppet Pals, all three musicals, and own all eight terrible movie adaptations. (jk… the first four don’t suck.) I’ve even read Dramione fan-fiction. That is the only fan-fiction I really get into, actually (sorry if any of you are fanfic writers… it’s just not my thing!)
Hobbies: Having friends. Eating full meals at regular times. Personal hygiene. (Writing and reading are not hobbies; they are life.)
Currently reading: Beautiful Creatures, by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, STILL, because it’s really long, guys, I’m sorry. And on Sundays (the day of rest from reading YA), I try to read Stephen King’s Under the Dome. Which is, believe it or not, even longer. I’m on page 600, and I’ve been reading it for like three years.
I don’t have a lot of followers yet. So. @pagesofangels @glorious74 @writebruh @theprincessandthepen @fallenstarsandfiredemons @interruptedreading
UPDATE: I am now dating the engineer. Elephants are the way to my heart, apparently.

The Terrible Message of 13 Reasons Why
Tl;dr: IT DOES NOT GIVE ANYONE A REASON TO KEEP LIVING.
13 Reasons Why tells the story of a girl who sends out these cassette tapes to the thirteen people who influenced her decision to kill herself. The INTENDED MESSAGE is that every little thing we do affects the people around us, and therefore we should be nice and not to terrible things, yada yada.
I agree with this message. It’s a good message.
But here’s where it falls short:
Hannah Baker is dead. The people receiving these cassettes (for the most part) had no idea that she was going to kill herself, and they certainly would not have known that their actions were part of her reasons.
Her goal is to make them feel guilty. To make them feel like they killed her.
Imagine how you would feel if you found out you accidentally killed someone. The guilt. OVERWHELMING guilt. Guilt that makes you question everything about your life. You thought you were an okay person before, but now? You’re a murderer. You are the worst kind of person you can imagine. You deserve to be punished.
Eye for an eye.
You deserve to die.
The world would be better off without shits like you.
People who are suicidal often feel this way already. They think the world is better off without them. Suicide notes are often apologies, not revenge letters. They’re written to the people that are going to be hurt by your leaving. “The pain was too much. I couldn’t handle it. I’ve made everything worse. I’m sorry.”
…
This book/show is great for encouraging action when you can do something. Absolutely, you should notice the signs and help people seek help. Be a good person.
But what if you’ve already lost someone to suicide? This book is telling you that you should feel guilty for not stopping it. That you made a terrible mistake that cost your loved one their life.
That’s a terrible message. You should never feel that guilty for things you can’t take back.
Some people read or watch this and are shocked and encouraged to be better people.
But someone who already feels like a burden? They’re going to see this as justification for their own self-mutilation or suicide.
Please don’t let that guilt overwhelm you. You can’t change the past, and sometimes, even when you’re trying to be a good person, you’re going to make a mistake and ruin someone’s day. But you have to forgive yourself for that. If you can ask for someone else’s forgiveness, you should. But even if you don’t get their forgiveness–you have to forgive yourself. You have to believe that your efforts to live a good life aren’t futile.
Or you won’t make it.

Anonymous asked:
i just wanted to thank you for your post. my gf killed herself 2 years ago and hannah blaming everyone else for her suicide really got to me. if this had come out within the first few months after my gf died i likely wouldve agreed that it was my fault & fallen even deeper into that awful rabbit hole—and it took me 3 aborted suicide attempts to dig myself out as it was. this show is dangerous and encourages blaming innocents & martyrdom, and its been showcased to those who are most vulnerable
Well, first off, I am so sorry for your loss, and for the survivor’s guilt that followed. That kind of guilt and self-loathing is so poisonous, and so, so hard to get rid of. I’m glad to hear that you’re out of it, if only a bit, and I hope it only keeps getting easier & better for you.
There’s a very small grey area between acknowledging that bullying, harassment, assault, abuse, etc. do contribute to suicidality, and actually blaming specific people for a suicide. I personally agree that this show doesn’t do a great job with that. I do also worry a lot about the potential for martyrdom; it’s really, really dangerous to paint suicide as “effective” in any way, which this show (and the book) definitely do. Showing that bullying can have horrible consequences (including suicide)? Great, let’s do it. Showing suicide as a way to expose bullies or force them to reckon with what they did? Not so great. I’m also not a fan of a show that prides itself on honestly talking about suicide and completely fails to address mental illness, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Take care of yourself, and stay safe.

One time in I asked my English teacher if I could go to the bathroom and he said the ‘I don’t know, can you’ line like it was something new and clever and my mind just sort of went stupid and I told him that if there was a colloquial gap between ‘can I’ and ‘may I’ that was significant enough to genuinely confuse him in the context of a classroom then maybe he shouldn’t be teaching highschool English, and what nobody tells you about that sort of situation is that no matter how good it feels, you do have to come back and finish the rest of the class

I remember reading “Thirteen Reasons Why” like ten years ago and being really irked about parts of it and now that I’m watching the show I’m starting to feel the same way. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I think it has something to do with this manic pixie dream girl character using her suicide as a manipulation tool to make everyone else feel bad while also idolizing her at the same time.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s intriguing and well-done (both the book and the tv show), but I hate how selfish Hannah is for using her death, essentially, to “get back” at people. Yes, bad things happened to her, but bad things happen to everyone and most people don’t turn around and say “you’re the one who killed me” when they in fact killed themselves.
Like, there’s the part where Hannah and Jessica and Alex start to drift apart from each other, which is something completely normal that happens to literally everyone at some point in their lives. But, Hannah paints this picture of “oh, you guys abandoned me and now I’m so lonely so it’s your fault if I’m self-destructive."
Maybe I’m just so mad because I’ve now been in similar situations. I had a roommate who had the same "woe is me” attitude, when in actuality she brought everything on herself and thrived on attention, positive or negative. When she didn’t come home one night and tried to kill herself, we called the police because that’s what you SHOULD do. And her response was, like Hannah, to be mad at us and say “I wish I had done it” … because we saved her life.
There’s this inherent selfishness to committing suicide, no matter how depressed someone is. I’m afraid “Thirteen Reasons Why” glorifies this selfishness. Maybe each character made decisions or did things that factored into Hannah’s decision to commit suicide, but none of them were a reason why she killed herself. That’s on her and I hope viewers are able to understand the distinction.
