#Let's Talk To Lucy

Is she Lucy Westenra, or is she just a vessel for the writer's barely disguised fantasy of a women being punished for her promiscuity? Is she really"Bram Stoker's" Lucy Westenra: a naive, innocent 19 year old, with a cheery personality and a bright future ahead of her? Or has the writer instead just slapped her name on an OC that behaves nothing like her, and- with none of the grace or decorum that Lucy's tragically short story deserves- sexualized her slow and agonising death as much as possible, whilst very unsubtly doing their best to blame her for being murdered, so that we won't object to her being killed again later in an even more gruesome and sexual manner?
#every dracula adaptation gets every character wrong- but the way Lucy is treated in particular makes my blood boil#she's not stupid for being naive. she's not stupid for fixating on marriage. she's 19. A TEENAGER. she's allowed to be young#of course she doesn't have much life experience! that's why it's so tragic! when she dies we mourn the person she was meant to become#and regardless of however adaptations try to spin it; she did not want to be killed. she wasn't aware of dracula like the other characters#she didn't deliberately let dracula kill her. she didn't ask to be a vampire. she wasn't in love with dracula or anything like that#she died not understanding what was happening to her. she never lost her naivety. and that makes it even more tragic in my opinion#anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk#i think my old dracula hyperfixation is reigniting and i don't have the strength to stop it lmao#lucy westenra#dracula#bram stokers dracula#dracula daily#lit student screams into the void

Smile of Lucy Gray when she sees Snow with a rifle
She is clearly terrified of what is about to happen, her trust in Coriolanus is gone, yet she is still afraid of setting him off.

Hey does anyone else think Lockwood and Lucy were meant to parallel Orpheus and Eurydice? Or am I just going a little crazy?
#how has no one else pointed this out?#because i had just discovered hadestown so of course thats on my mind#in this essay i will#but like#you see it too?#they literally walked through the underworld together#and lucy stumbles but lockwood turns around to help her#but the real poetry of it is that you dont know who is orpheus and who is eurydice#lockwood who has one foot in the grave and a trail of ghosts#but can sweet talk his way out of any situation#and lucy who talks to ghosts and sort of convinces them to let them pass#idk theres more i want to say about this#dont worry ll make a longer post#lockwood and co#anthony lockwood#lucy carlyle#orpheus and eurydice#hadestown

Random talk about Lucy Maclean. Am I the only one realized that Lucy has started to know about anger and hatred since she met up Cooper? Because when she saved Maximus from the Radroach, she's squeezed the Radroach so much until she yelled in grunts and yeah I can see her that she's really show off her anger when squeezed that Radroach with her foot.
Also at the end when soon she realized that her father was not a good person for the whole time. When Cooper ask her to join for an adventure. Looks like Cooper just opened her eyes for seeing a reality and I have a feeling that he will guide her what is the meaning of life, that the world is not kind to everyone.
Lucy might got taught about kindness and feelings from her father, but Cooper might teach her how to control her mental. Since Cooper use to be a kind person back at that time but then his life ended up in misery, I have a feeling that Lucy will guide him to open up his tortured heart and fix it.
It's like I think the 2nd season of Fallout will tell about how Lucy and Cooper guided each other with their own different ways.

Going fucking feral over the little corset vest they gave Coriolanus in Songsbirds and Snakes. Like yes please, lets directly compare our pro and antagonist, both wearing their dead parents clothing on the most important day of their lives.
Lucy Gray in her beloved Mother's dress. The outfit she choose- colorful, joyful, a standout in the crowd. Her corset like her Mother's hug, wrapping her in love and holding her upright.
Coriolanus Snow in his Father's old formal military dress shirt (And probably his vest? It's a movie addition). The outfit he was forced into- somber, black like his Father's eyes, choosen not to stand out in the crowd but to sweep under the radar. The tesserae buttons- poverty and disgrace, now sewn directly to the grand Snow lineage. The corset vest, wrapping the expectation of the Snow family history around him like a snake, suffocating with every breath.
And they're both wearing roses.
#this is not a Coriolanus apologist blog#we can empathize without justifying his actions#the Hunger games#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#Coriolanus Snow#lucy gray#Lets talk about clothing as class symbolism#This movie had such delicious costumes#trish summerville is a genius#I want to touch Lucy Gray's skirt so fucking bad#Coriolanus's slutty red skirt is next on my list

I think it's important that Lucy Gray can have a conversation like this, where they talk over their kills so matter-of-factly. She's a survivor and a victor. She sees the line between good and evil and tries to stay on the right side of it, but she's not inherently gentle and pure. She's a fighter. She lives in the 'gray,' not black and white. And I think the thing is they're both pretty gray for most of the story? Until he crosses that line away from her at the end. They're perfectly positioned in so many ways to understand each other, which makes the tragedy hit better. There has to be a real chance, and real feelings, for the tragedy to be powerful IMO.

But we're so good at arguing (AKA confirmation that Tim was riling her up on purpose when she was a rookie because he liked it).

Got to love the 2023-early 2024 time, when everyone was simping for Snow, all while my only thought about him was: “What a woman did you lose…”
Loving Coriolanus really requires me to have Lucy Gray as a package deal. He is insufferable without her balancing him out.
