Status Updates From The Miseducation of Cameron...

IRENE HAD NO RIGHT JUST LEAVING LIKE THAT COME BACK IRENEEE

so many things oh my

🤨

The little part about who its dedicated to is really cute

AY YO?!

“And my unique and complicated understanding of sex roles”

Is it worse to never try or to try so hard and still fail on their eyes

“Times Square: men are men. Some of the women are men. Some of the men are women” end the quote there and it’s a pretyy fun genderfuckery

Oh god the conversion camp is the first home she’s had since her parents died.

“It’s plastic living. It’s living in a diorama…how could it be expected to live in this new world without its past, without everything it knew from the world before, from its place in it, tripping it up again and again?”

Hell yeah Two-Spirit rep!!

“she instantly made me feel like I was sinning right then, pretty much just by being alive, by breathing, like my presence was the embodiment of sin and it was her job to rid me of it.”

“Same sex attraction disorder” Jesus

Ruth is such a HYPOCRITE

“I hate sour cream and onion anything. All lesbians do” hell yeah Cam!

Oof the feeling of trying to be into someone and desperately failing

“and there I was Amish the wrong signals to the right people in the wrong ways. Again, again, again.”

“a very bright kind of daydream where I was the one dancing with her that way, at our prom, with everyone knowing that we were together and girls in purple dresses whispering about how sweet and adorable it was when I kissed her.”

“That if we just didn’t say anything out loud about us to anyone but each other, then that would be enough to keep what we were hidden from everyone but us and God”

“How could I pretend to be a victim when I was so willing to sin?” Oh baby :(

(470/470) she successfully ran away from Promise, and now she has the whole world in front of her. Which is symbolized by the expanse of darkness all around her at the end of the book. Her candle ritual did feel like it gave closure to her parents’ deaths.

(435/470) she’s being open and honest with Lydia. It’s pleasant to watch actually. And the mentality behind the dollhouse has always perplexed me. It saddens me that they’re gonna split up once they escape tho.

“I just liked girls because I couldn’t help not to”

Always Irene

Playing at being such a big bad experiences queer girl when you know nothing is a right of passage

It was all fun and gaymes…

“I loved your mom since I met her” OH?! Margot that’s not very gal pals of you

Playing at religion but still feeling like you’re being punished is such an odd phenomenon

Cameron’s first thought after finding out about her parents death is RELIEF that they wouldn’t ever know she’d kissed a girl is heartbreaking

“It was all action and reaction” like any good first kiss
