re-thinking everything since this scene with what we have learned about Annabel Lee

her worst fear is going mad but more it's losing her personhood it's letting her father down it's not meeting the expectations she's been groomed to exceed

then her father asks her to be a "good example" to a mad woman the living embodiment of her own worst fate and this woman could be cruel terrifying destructive everything Annabel Lee has been told would ruin her family's life and hers by proxy

and Annabel Lee falls inlove with her! the living embodiment of her worst fate turns into just Lenore who steps out of bounds who's so herself she hardly takes the time to think about it who goes with her gut in death and in life

i think it's so tragic that the webtoon comments specifically brand her as selfish and manipulative and nothing else because her leaving with Lenore and marrying each other is the first selfish act she does ever in her whole life the first one to really matter

everything she does has been for her family for her father she delivers herself to death to not become a spinster and the first time she does something selfish it's Lenore

of course Annabel Lee saw the rest of them as disposable how could she not

she spent her life barely alive and the only person who let her live was Lenore losing her is her new death she protects her just as she protected her father's reputation

nothing else matters more

thinking abt pakistani will again. like who tf is william wilson, that is my third cousin twice removed muhammad ahmad.

[a-man-in-the-crowd]

reverse willtresor is actually very funny bc you just KNOW william "i'm a glorified background character and i know it" wilson would never in a million years notice it

“Will is so down bad” this “Will is such a simp” that…weaklings…GIVE ME MONTRESOR IN LOVE!! I wanna see Will taking care of him (when he’s actually conscious, lmao) in the infirmary and running his fingers through Montresor’s long hair (which might not be such a good idea on second thought since Monty probably showers like monthly) (they’re all alive and well guys heh what’s an episode 120)

anyways hope u enjoy my lil willtresor doodles; I might color/render the first if I have time later :3

the funniest part about this is that a good portion of the people who replied to this post agree with some variation of this

btw annabel sharing is caring

I had to wake up at three to read the chapter. You can imagine my horror when I saw this

Look at those lifeless eyes. This thing looks so dead inside I doubt shooting it would have made any difference. It looks so terrifyingly pathetic I question if it's not the devil himself who was sent to Montresor or something. God this thing scales me. I'm not even joking, look at it, the uncanny valley is so apparent. Looks like something wearing a dogs skin. From now on when I look at dogs I'll be relieved that they have a livelyness this abomination could never hope to achieve, and I hate dogs. This is the true cryptid of Nevermore, even Pluto is jealous. On god if I saw this in the streets I'm running away full force. Never in my life has a WEBTOON of all things scare me so. Hell, I'd sooner hug one of the hounds form the Wild hunt than spend two minutes within a five kilometer radius of this thing pretending to be a dog. Hey maybe it is. The thing has parallels to Will anyway, maybe it IS, you know? Perhaps if sqeezed enough the skin will slip right off, and what may be underneath, I shudder to think. Honesty I think it bit Gold eyes because it wanted a little snack.

Overall, Wtf is that dog

i've had will as my pfp for long enough of a time where i associate him with myself and this probably isn't helped by the fact the lighting in this particular image makes him look tanner but sometimes i get confused when people call will white... because my brain keeps mistaking him for pakistani

[a-man-in-the-crowd]

your tags!! your tags!!

duke's identity is his performance... will's performance is his identity... am i making sense idk ily rue amazing ramble

in basically all standard playing card decks (at least in all that i've seen so i'm pretty sure it's the norm) there are two jokers, one that's coloured and one that's in black and white and yes this is me managing to draw up a relation between duke and will

Will would lay over Monty's grave like a dog and starve there

I just saw you like my "why does no one mention his broken leg" post and it awoke my urge to rant about that subject specifically, so...

It's like his bravado, or him pretending like his injury is not that bad™ has literally led the other characters and the fandom to believe that too. That Monty dealing with a broken leg isn't that bad, he still should walk up the stairs. He still should run. He still should fight. It's not that bad, he was walking just fine earlier! It's not that bad, he wasn't complaining about it! It's not that bad, right?

And I find it so... umm, how do I put this. People only considering a disability bad enough™ if the person visibly suffers from it, and brushing it off otherwise? And expecting disabled ppl to continue going about their life as if they had nothing wrong with them just because they're not the "right kind" of disabled, or not showing it enough...... HMMMM... Many thoughts

YEAH NO YOURE LITERALLY SO RIGHT!!! people only understand you're suffering when you show them your lowest. They only see things in binaries, which is I think an issue with the fandom at large. If montresor can walk, why can't he go back to save Ada? (Ignore the fact that he was barely hobbling down the stairs, ignore the fact that he would have to run to get there in time)

I really can see the parallel between how people treat disabled people, you're so right. It's like. Most people have not had to experience a broken leg, so they don't understand how painful it is. Also I think people tend to forget that Montresor broke it like. Literally yesterday? It hasn't healed in the slightest. Just because it's in a cast doesn't mean it doesn't still hurt, and now he's broken the cast, so it's practically useless.

And yeah like we were talking abt earlier. You can't trust him!!! He's the liar!!! You can't listen to his words!!! He will say whatever he needs to say to not appear weak. He will tell you he can walk just fine and he'll tell you to go save Ada BECAUSE HE CANT. HE LITERALLY CAN BARELY WALK.

Montresor's bravado has come back to bite him in the ass. Who could've predicted this. Sldbdbsjs

"kill them with kindness" wrong. I am putting them in a wall

call him bubonic the way he plagues me

[a-man-in-the-crowd]

now that the episode is out i can finally scream about why i found that detail so cute 😭 one of the very few times montresor does an act of kindness (that is not immediately detracted by him being horrible ten seconds later) and it's towards a dog!! this whole flashback was triggered by him trying to save will — like he did the dog — and the little hearts we see are sorta?? signalling that it's going in this direction?? if that makes sense??

i wonder if i can try using my bits of cartomancy knowledge to figure anything out about the specific choices in cards (in the dead man's hand, i don't think there's much symbolism i can pull out of the royal flush besides the choice in the hearts suit) but we'll see

another thing in the 'something i noticed but forgot to point out' pile: most of the cards monty has in this scene are in the hearts suit

obviously in the second screenshot you see he had other suits with him, but that's only three out of the nine shown so let me have this (and anyways, even that panel highlights the heart by having it be the last one you see as you scroll down and the only red suit in the shot). in consideration of what we ~later~ learn this flashback is about, i think it's a cute detail :)
