The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a timeless classic that captures the transformative power of nature, friendship, and healing. The novel tells the story of Mary Lennox, a spoiled and neglected child who is sent to live with her uncle in a gloomy mansion after the death of her parents. Through her discovery of a hidden, neglected garden, Mary undergoes a profound personal transformation, leading her to uncover not only the secrets of the garden but also those of the people around her.

Burnett masterfully weaves themes of renewal and rejuvenation, both physically and emotionally, throughout the narrative. The garden itself serves as a powerful symbol of the potential for growth and change. As Mary tends to the garden, she begins to heal from her own emotional wounds, and in turn, she helps others, including her sickly cousin Colin and the brooding servant Martha, to heal as well.

The novel is beautifully written, with vivid descriptions that bring the garden to life in the reader’s imagination. Burnett's characters are richly drawn, with Mary evolving from a sour and lonely girl into a kind and compassionate friend. The interactions between Mary, Colin, and Dickon—an energetic local boy who embodies the spirit of the moors—are particularly heartwarming and highlight the power of companionship and mutual support.

The Secret Garden is more than just a children's story; it's a profound exploration of the human spirit and the healing power of nature. It encourages readers of all ages to reflect on the importance of nurturing both our environment and our relationships. This novel remains a cherished read for anyone who believes in the magic of gardens and the possibility of new beginnings.

Star wars IS sexy and ep6 was full of intentional and very much sexual - phallic - innuendos, Amandla and Manny being like wtf reading the final draft of ep6 but they still gave it their all and brought us all these amazing scenes between their characters without it being too cringe or cheesy and omg I love them *sobbing*

[attentiondealer]

how much bullying do y’all think it would take for netflix to sell the rights back to hbo and for us to get them to produce s2 on max

[whumpypepsigal]

so i found a new blorbo CHARLES SUN and…

you would have to sedate me i’m sorry

*feral* the show is so good, excellently paced and well-acted…. plus, it has all the stuff we enjoy the most:

whump, crime family, family drama, daddy issues (MAJOR!), mommy issues (MAJOR!), well-done action sequences, trauma, “protect the family” sense of duty mindset, lots of baking (by my poor blorbo charles as a coping mechanism), sibling issues, oldest son vs youngest son dynamic (- two brothers, who have both spent their lives competing for attention, approval, and freedom; in their own different ways -), conflicted tortured oldest son, did i mention major daddy/mommy issues and PLENTY OF THE GOOD OL’ EMOTIONAL WHUMP.

and oh their troubled mother is played by THEE MICHELLE YEOH !!!!!!! ✨MOTHER✨

ahhhh charles, his father brainwashed him, turned him into a ruthless killer and put him through so much trauma. my man just wants to have a normal life, bake pastries etc and reconnect with his mother and brother. like look at him (HE NEEDS A HUG AND SEVERAL CHURROS)

i am a sucker for this type of genre. 10/10 no notes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND MY FRIENDS, GO WATCH IT 🎉.

The thing that’s most frustrating about the warrior nun cancellation — you know, besides being such a massive kick to the gut for wlw content for losing something that actually served us a near impossible combination of exciting plot + compelling characters + solid writing + one of the best slow burn romantic arcs I’ve seen + a headlining wlw relationship + an all around great found family story — is that if you asked me, a final 8-10 ep season would have been the perfect way to tie this series up in a nice lil gift box we’d cherish forever.

Would I have watched 5739 seasons of wn if they produced it? Fuck yes. Does it need 5737 more? Not *really*. Season 2 ended at what felt like the end of the story’s second act, a perfect setup for a third and final season. Kinda feels like the ground was ripped out from under us when we were 10 feet from the finish line, but what do I know

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

I finished Dead Boy Detectives. Please go watch this show it’s so fun and did not cause me sadness at any point whatsoever

[lumiilys]

Wdym it’s only been 5 days since the cancellation announcement it fucking feels like it’s been weeks???

[wildcookiekeef]

even if I die screaming

Question for LockNation:

I know this is going to sound kind of weird (because it basically translates to how do you think you're going to die) but what kind of ghost do you think you'd come back as? If you'd come back at all, that is. Maybe a better question would be what kind of ghost do you want to come back as?

I, personally, would like to be a Poltergeist. No form, just vibes. And sometimes incredible violence.

Two sides of the same coin

[destiel-wings]

I've gathered some of my thoughts about The Winchesters season finale and here's why i think it gave me some peace

(yes, this does contain a destiel interpretation, too 💚💙)

Did i want to see Cas in it? Yes.

Was i disappointed that he wasn't? Actually, no (more on that later).

But I loved it. I was so stunned as I saw it and I felt like somehow it healed some of the wounds from the spn finale... but i couldn't quite understand why.

Here's why.

We basically watched Supernatural. Jensen reopened the finale and went further with it. What we saw in The Winchesters felt like a continuation of 15x20, even if it technically happened in between the last two scenes of the finale. But we got Bobby, we got Jack. They all actually talked, in a way that felt alive and real. Jack broke his rule of no interfering, showing that he still cared for Dean (just like he had broken his own rule off screen by saving Cas from the Empty). The Winchesters wasn't a prequel, but a sequel.

Dean got his own story, got to make something for himself (instead of just waiting for Sam on a bridge), and it's something that he wanted to do. He went back to look for hope and love, for a version of his parents where they could have a real chance.

We learn love (or we don't) and how to be in a happy relationship as kids by watching our parents, and Dean was doomed that way. He never had that example, to learn how to build a relationship and let himself be loved. He never learned that. So when he gets to heaven and he has the chance, before getting on that bridge, before meeting up with his family, with Sam... and yes, with Cas (even if we haven't seen him yet), he just needs a freaking minute. He needs a little time to himself. To reconnect. To understand. To reflect on love and what it means to love and be loved.

So he does what any fond child would do... he looks up at his parents. Only his parents that are right there in heaven didn't exactly have a happy ending (or even a happy middle), so he explores further, searching for a chance, a hope, a version of his own legacy where love was possible. Because if his parents can make it... so can he.

And we see all that through his own lenses (the weird use of the camera lenses with all those flares and glow resembles the aura of Dean's drive in heaven, thinking about it in retrospect).

screencaps of the glowy amber look and those camera flares, there's probably better examples but these are some of the best ones i could find

Dean's mission might have been the Akrida, but the reason he went looking, the real quest he was after, was hope. Hope for a happy ending. Hope for love, where said love was doomed from the start.

And it's not surprising that there were destiel parallels everywhere, because that was Dean's POV, and he's processing his own feelings. Which is something he needs to do before he sees Cas again.

And personally, I think Dean loves Cas back and he knew that before dying, but still, that doesn't mean that he's not afraid of messing it up. That he knows how to approach him, or face Cas, after all that's happened.

He may not even be doing all of this thinking consciously, but the Castiel subtext we've seen in The Winchesters, from a narrative POV, is Dean's.

We're seeing the parallels because he's seeing them, making them, it's his way of processing. Of seeing what he and Cas had, and what they could have. Looking for hope.

And, as he himself said before leaving again... i think he found it.

So i don't know how things are going to go on from here. I can't imagine how we could have Dean in a season two. I've been saying all along that The Winchesters might open the story for a SPN revival/s16, and i think it is perfectly possible that this might happen here.

The Winchesters might not have Dean anymore, becoming its own show (but still having lots of references and guest stars from Supernatural) and *as Jensen loves to say* when we get the revival, there will be the space to address Castiel's confession and give his character the importance that it needs.

It wouldn't have made sense to see Cas here in a little cameo, it wouldn't have been enough. But what we saw here, was the confirmation of Jensen reopening the finale, and his willingness to bring Dean back (as he's always stated), for whatever more he's allowed to do.

I love the way they handled it, we still got peace and hope (even if there were to be no s2), and i feel like we're all more confident that the bridge scene is not an ending, but a beginning of something more. Dean has said he's gonna go look for his family. That's not just Sam.

Of course he's gonna see Cas too. But i don't think any of us would've been satisfied to see him pop up randomly for a couple of minutes in TW, with little to no mention of what happened between them.

Also, i want to point out that this was supposed to be the midseason finale but they had to adapt it when they found out they didn't get a full season, we could've had much more (like more narrating voices as Jensen had teased) or even seeing more of Dean, instead of just seeing him in the pilot and the season finale. They even asked Misha to be there (and he refused for scheduling conflicts since he was busy filming Gotham Knights *but said he's absolutely willing to appear later*).

So i think there's still so much story to tell here and i am absolutely hopeful and trust that we will love it.

I think they did an amazing job in 13 episodes, and I can't wait to see what's next 💖
