@thealmightyemprex @ariel-seagull-wings @themousefromfantasyland @piterelizabethdevries @princesssarisa @grctw there are different kinds of villains out there. You have your cool villains, your tragic villains, your sympathetic villains/antagonists. This list is comprised of villains who get under my skin in a very personal way. I see a pattern here - abusive parents and partners, manipulators whose control can come as much from words and reputation as outward acts of violence. Even the most overtly violent and obviously vile of them are enabled by their stations - the family patriarch, the cog in the imperialist machine, etc.

Ghosts/MMU headcanons

Anna is Alison in this au and Zosia is Mike because I don't think Zosia would put up with them.

George

-I can see him as Julian (mostly because of the politics), the captain or as Robin, purely because he'd love turning the lights on and off all the time because he's a chaotic little shit. Mostly as the captain though.

-He makes Anna download Duolingo for him but she has to actually do it everyday while he tells her what to put. (Think the captain with his run every morning but Duolingo).

-This can take hours as he is very competitive and wants to complete all the daily quests

- actually he's so melodramatic I can kind of see him as Thomas if Ralph lived there. He goes all 'Romeo and Juliet', 'kill yourself and marry me' when Ralph comes over.

Daisy

-I can see Daisy as Fanny as they're both bossy and Daisy is canonically good at Deportment

-(only her husband didn't need to kill her as she was having an affair with the housekeeper anyway)

-she tells off Alexander, rather than Anna like Fanny does to Alison because she likes Anna but she can find a lot of fault with Alexander

-she is quite disapproving of anything after her own time ('Oh let's just do away with books and telephones then! Let's all become addicted to these new mobile phone things!') but was pleased about how women's rights have got better and was interested when she saw something about Pride on TV.

-(she now makes Anna play a lot of Girl in Red for her).

Hazel

-I can see her as Pat because he keeps the peace with everyone and Hazel is responsible but I can also see her as Mary

- She would definitely follow people around chanting 'Get out, get out, get out...'

- I can also see her having all the superstitions that Mary has

- so kind of like Pat from Mary's time (she died how Mary did).

- she loves puzzle games online so Anna has to play a lot of them with Hazel telling her what to do

- Hazel is the only one (apart from Eric and Nuala) who doesn't burst through bedroom/ bathroom walls unexpectedly (Alexander and Beanie forget and everyone else just doesn't care).

Beanie

- She would definitely be Kitty but quieter

- she just follows Anna or the others about to be included

- she does always get Anna to put the cartoons on for her in the morning though (Alexander watches them with her).

-Anna has definitely ended up buying way more Christmas/ Halloween/ Easter decorations than she needed because Beanie was so enthusiastic and no one can say no to her

-she found beanies very funny because it's the same name so Anna knitted her one even though she can't wear it. She just likes to look at it.

Kitty

- I think Kitty would be Thomas since they both always have a crush

-(I can also see her as Julian just because of all the parties and the dirty jokes)

-she has a crush on pretty much every man who walks into the house

- (Imagine 'Free Pass' but its Kitty and George arguing over whether the actor is hot).

Lavinia

- definitely Julian.

- it's her who pushes Anna out the window, like in the show

- sometimes changes the channel or finds something a bit inappropriate online. She is in big trouble if Alexander or especially Beanie sees it ( then Kitty and George have to deal with it).

Alexander

-I can see him as Kitty but maybe dying in a different way.

- maybe hypothermia from falling in the lake or poisoned by his step brother?

- he's very enthusiastic about pretty much everything (will watch anything on TV, loves every song on the radio, always wants to be involved in what's going on)

- he's the most trouble because he never stops talking. Ever.

- He follows Anna around talking and gets offended if she ignores him ( even if she's on the phone).

May

- she is Robin because she would love messing with the lights

- also I can imagine May going down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole

Eric

- Humphrey (because I'm not sure who else he would be).

Nuala

-Jemima because she would love the dramatic entrance and freaking everyone out

Amina

- Annie because they're both so outspoken

- in this au she stayed long enough to meet Daisy. Daisy mourned for her when she got sucked off.

as someone who’s seen their fair share of fairly opaque foreign art film, those “four hour serbian film about the collapse of the government from the pov of a pigeon” posts always make up films that are significantly easier to summarize than the majority of the kind of film they (claim to) hate. like. “a three hour taiwanese film about a family coping with their bedridden grandmother’s impending death” or “an iranian film about a man who drives into the desert to find someone to help him commit suicide” or “a five hour swedish film about two children whose mother marries an abusive bishop” just doesn’t have the same ring and by that i mean the plot summaries don’t even cover 2% of what makes the films artistic and hard to understand

Saw this post and got inspired. These two dorks are on their way to decorate their tree but as if they could do that in any other way than this. Lovia makes for one yassified tree.

Thinking about a society with mixed sizes most likely also means a fair amount of trees with mixed decorations, little trinkets of all kinds of sizes, a lovely display of embraced differences.

Anyway, Hyvää Joulua! Have a good Yule <3

I'm obsessed with these passages from the published screenplay of Fanny and Alexander:

(when Emilie finds Alexander in the attic)

(after Isak makes the apparitions of Fanny and Alexander appear in the room above)

(and as Emilie is about to leave and Edvard is sobbing blindly)

i don't necessarily think trauma is the only reason characters in fanny and alexander can see ghosts like aaron says maybe ghosts just exist and some people can see them. but trauma is definitely why alexander can see SO MANY ghosts; his father's, the bishop's, the bishop's late wife's, and her two daughters' it's too many ghosts haunting him at such a young age :/
