lolita remake but from dolores point of view. the rapes, the death of her mother, being controlled by humbert, not being able to make friends, the emotional and physical abuse, being forced to do porn by quilty, the teenage pregnancy, the trauma and finally dying in childbirth.
On the page it looked nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse – bassoons and basset horns – like a rusty squeezebox. Then suddenly – high above it – an oboe, a single note, hanging there unwavering, till a clarinet took over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was no composition by a performing monkey! This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing, it had me trembling. It seemed to me that I was hearing the very voice of God.
Ok, I think people are taking it too literally when stans say a character deserved better. What they actually mean is that they deserve better as a viewer. I’m sure they are aware their fav is evil but they wanted to see a better storyline or a least an epic fight scene. It’s entertainment. I wanted Mallory to be an angel not because I wanted her to save Michael but because that would’ve been a more interesting storyline. Not everything is about shipping.
