one thing I like about from (the tv show) is the way people argue and yell at each other. normally on tv and in movies arguments will follow the Ten TV Argument Commandments which are things like "if the grown up daughter says something super mean to her mother, the mother will hit her in the face, and then there will be a moment of shock, and the daughter will probably apologize." you know. the formulae. "first one to cry wins." "it's okay to throw an item of bricabrac if you are a man and a woman is making you mad." etc.

but on from they argue like real people do. somebody yells "no!! you don't get to just--" and as they're clearly gearing up for the big speech another character will just yell back even louder about NO, YOU DON'T GET TO JUST. someone will say something that sounds like a devastating callout and the called out person will be like "jesus. that's-- none of that is even true. are you ok" and the caller out will be like "it IS true and you KNOW it's true and oh fuck, sebastian, of course it's not true, I'm just really fucking upset" and sebastian will be like "we're ALL UPSET, MELANIE. christ. no you're fine, we're fine, forget it"

just the herky jerky rhythms of actual human communication. beautiful actually

Thinking about playing DnD with Kenny and Kristi and Julie and Randall (begrudgingly) and lil Ethan (and Mari is just watching)

Kristi would be the GM, girl has way more creativity than meets the eye. The situations she'd put y'all through istg.

Kenny would play as a Druid or Mage, chaotic smth alignment because for once, he can let go. He can be someone free from all responsibilities and he's got magic!!!!!!

Julie would definitely be a rogue or something. She's in that phase where she needs to do stupid chaotic neutral shit and laugh about it.

Ethan is her healer companion and puts all his points on intelligence, doesn't matter if it makes his character unbalanced, bro is the Sherlock Holmes of ur team

Randall is playing as a dwarf paladin who thinks everything through (surprisingly). He is very considerate of everyone, but loses patience easily (he almost turned the table over once, after Kenny accidentally hit him and ate up half his health points).

And you. You're the chaos enabler.

Kristi: and the moment you look up, the cave wall moves. It ripples and wavers until a gigantic creature comes out - its body is made of pure ice, wide maw with sharp teeth glistening under the sliver of light coming from the hole in the ceiling.

Ethan: I roll perception

Julie: does it have anything I can grab?

Randall: Let's all look around first, please

Kenny: I cast fireball-

You: can I seduce it?

Cut to Mari, sitting on a bed, holding in her laughter.

julierandall bestieism is on one hand. so random. but on the other hand. what else were they supposed to write when they connected the three most random characters via possession trauma. anyway theyre so funny together. shes doing little sister shit to him. hes doing big brother shit to her. its awesome

it’s very apparent that victor is suffering from c-PTSD but i’ll still headcannon him as autistic

like it could be that he has both but honestly i’m not pushing for either. i think either one is great representation

it’s nice seeing some older struggle with either, though i do hope if they ever escape that victor goes to a therapist

the pregnancy story line has been useless in my opinion and just a reason to make a woman suffer

fatima thought she couldn’t have kids, so you give her a fake pregnancy?

like even if fromville as an entity is doing this for shits and giggles, it’s lazy writing…

if you wanted to get into body horror, the pregnancy wasn’t needed cuz you can lose teeth and eat rotten shit from high levels of stress

or since this is a supernatural place, she could have contracted the worms, entering a parasitic relationship where they’re eating her from the inside, controlling her to feed on rotting flesh/food simultaneously

is this all we have to offer women in horror/sci-fi? the fear of unhealthy pregnancy and not being believed? like what makes this more innovative than what already happens irl?

like atp have fatima turn into one of those mole faced bitches and have her and ellis navigate their love story. ellis has to keep his wedding vows to fatima despite her transformation and she’s slowly slipping away —no longer craving to eat but craving to kill for satisfaction, devoid of humanity. now ellis is tasked with reminding her why she loves him and the townspeople

hell this could set up a theory that the moles become evil cuz they no longer have loved ones fighting for them so they literally become hollow, bile filled creatures that used to be HUMAN

cuz there’s those scenes of smiley touching things and turning the steering wheel, then jasmine looking in the mirror almost somber to the fact that she kills for pleasure. like they were once people, what the fuck happened?

with creature fatima, she could go in the underground tunnels and we spend time learning about this mole community and who they serve (the entity on the colony house radio/liu house phone)

<><><>

also the whole “why doesn’t anyone believe me?” thing is tired now. we already did that with boyd but a writer obviously is tired of it too cuz marielle comments on that

we are in a supernatural town. anything coming out of someone’s mouth is finna be believe to me atp ( i swear to god by the time we get to randall’s cicadas, victor’s jasper and elgin’s ghost, i better not see another person question them)

the first time with sara was like “okay, strange. i can see why ppl don’t believe her really cuz so far this hasn’t happened.”

then boyd’s worm arm is like “leering on medical racism. the man needs help.”

now tabby and fatima is “no one believes women, especially woc”

let’s move away from this if you’re not going really tackle it. lets get to actually solving what’s going on with this freak ass town

what does jasper know?

who is kimono lady?

what’s up with bottle tree?

what’s up with the cellars?

what’s up with effigy cabin and the three red rocks?

where the fuck is the motel?

who is communicating to jim from the radio and phones?

who’s dead body is in elgin’s cellar?

who are the ankoohey kids?

what did julie, randall, and mari see?

why randall got cicadas?

<><><>

like lets wrap fatima up by next episode, deadass

she’s not pregnant so what is she? answer it now, so we can move tf on

or atp put her ass in the box for killing tillie along with acosta and let’s see if they take fatima cuz she’s special? or maybe fatima rips out the box herself?

also crazy how tabby is the only women moving the story forward meaningfully and not just having stuff happen to her and she react to it. she actively making decisions

i honestly advocate that fatima run and go find out what tf is wrong with her by herself. give her the reigns

<><><>

if i’m being honest this feels like a boyd redemption arc. fatima is going to go crazy and he’s going to have to save her because he couldn’t save abby for ellis

or ellis is either going to take boyd’s place in this situation and get a chance to save fatima, resulting in ellis feeling like he can’t put his full faith in his father to save everyone. so, he basically begins undermining boyd cuz if he can save fatima how come boyd couldn’t save abby?

or ellis is going to have to kill fatima, re-traumatizing both boyd and ellis, but especially boyd because he has to watch his son make the same decision he did

<><><>

but essentially fatima becomes a pawn to teach men a lesson while she suffers for no reason

tian chen’s murder already fulfilled that arc of “i can’t save anyone” because fromville via the creatures committing torture in front of him

and i’m not saying boyd should not have any lingering feelings about how he failed tian chen, but he shouldn’t be re-learning this lesson because kenny already gave him that reassurance of “there was nothing you could do cuz you’re human”

i hope this show doesn’t become boyd goes on the same journey to come to the same conclusion each time

and i hope they don’t keep using women to fulfill that
