and here I thought people were finally starting to be normal about her, Mulaney, and Munn.

r/FauxMoi is foaming at the mouth over this when this book will probably just blithely allude to drama and will be all this lovely purple prose about the self like Jenny Slate’s Little Weirds. its gonna be like her photography.

It's so funny you mention that book, I just bought a copy for myself cause I had only read half of it before it needed to go back to the library. I really love it, she has such a unique way of writing.

I feel like fauxmoi and ONTD interests align so I’m happy to see the first few comments here are about how crazy people are about this. Bc fauxmoi was disappointing. When people throw around the term parasocial relationship, this is one of the things I think about.

Ngl i hope she goes into how messy he really was

the way people are projecting into that relationship is weird af

The way people clung onto this scandal as though the best cheating story of the pandemic wasn't Dominic West and Lily James.

THANK YOU 💀💀💀

[ponyboy]

people acted like they were the ones who were cheated on in this relationship and it's so weird

[just444]

he's not even cute!

[my_moloko]

Disagree, he was super cute in the New In Town days. But I have a weakness for tall skinny guys with floppy brown hair.

[ponyboy]

he's fine. i just think people are way too quick to hop onto this

I will 100% be reading this book. I still remember seeing her art on Instagram before their divorce was announced and phew! She sure knows how to work out emotions in a visual medium. This one is probably my fave. I wish I could afford one of her prints but they're so damn expensive.

[moonisaballoon]

Honestly. I was objectively kind of impressed with how she carved out a space for herself as an artist in the wake of this whole thing blowing up, especially as the not-famous-one. I know people were parasocial and weird in parts, but there was something kind of special about people communing to pour love on this woman who was navigating her grief through portraiture.

I still remember she posted a photo of herself reclined in a chair alongside a caption that said "The Room That Was", and one of the kid actors who was in Mulaney's Sack Lunch Bunch commented and said "And all the rooms that will be <3" and I damn near wept.

[my_moloko]

I completely agree. I think it's amazing how she managed to work through the grief of her divorce via self portraits. And there was such a genuine outpouring of love. I feel like most people over looked that while Mulaney went to rehab she was also seeking help for her own problems. I really admire her for being able to create so much beauty out of a terrible time in her life.

I think my favorite one was her throwing their wedding dishes out the window. It really aesthetized her catharsis in a darkly funny way. I really wanted to buy the print of her in the pink dress in the pink room, but yeah way too fucking rich for my blood.
