#That scene was real iconic

Ravenous is Haunted

Within the lore of Ravenous, eating people causes you to “absorb [their] spirit,” but what does that mean in practice?

Ives mentions that eating someone brave gives you a surge of bravery, which is exactly how Boyd goes from too scared to move to single-handedly capturing the enemy command. The spirit of his fellow soldiers and specifically his commanding officer compel him to do it. But we know that this personality shift is not permanent, it abates. However, I believe that there are other more subtle influences that remain. 

There’s a whole collection of things Boyd, Ives, and Hart do and say that mirror the actions and words of the people they’ve eaten…

The protectiveness that Boyd shows towards the Fort Spencer crew after Ives arrives as colonel is a new trait for him and highly reminiscent of Reich’s protectiveness towards Toffler. From the moment he’s stuck with Ives at the fort, Boyd also immediately decides to murder him, the thing that Reich died furious at him for not doing, and never strays from this mission at all. Boyd and Ives both headbutt each other in their final fight, a Knox fighting move, and Boyd also attempts to strangle Ives at one point, which is Reich’s. Another example that I like is when Hart says to the chickens he’s feeding “run away! run for your lives!” which is what Toffler died doing. These are all small moments in isolation, but together they form a compelling picture. 

For another thing, you have Boyd mentioning to Hart near the end the “nightmares” he’s “still” having about Reich, Cleaves, and Knox. These aren’t just random trauma nightmares, they are specifically about the three people of the Fort Spencer crew that he’s eaten. And, considering how strongly Hart reacts to the mention of this, he is likely experiencing the same thing. Since it is canon that they have actually ABSORBED these people by eating them, I don’t think it’s a stretch at all to call this a haunting. 

Put these together and you have the people who have been eaten haunting the cannibal characters at night and maintaining at least some sway over them by day, often without them even realizing it… Fun stuff!

As far as Ives goes, I think that he is less affected by this phenomenon than Boyd and Hart are. He’s been eating people for much longer than they have, he has no moral compass whatsoever, and he has a very strong personality, so he’s not gonna let a little haunting get to him. That being said, who knows what quirks of his personality we might be able to attribute to people he’s eaten in the past if we knew more about them? I also think that his assumption that he is unaffected by the people he eats is a part of his downfall, and I’ll explain that in a moment. 

The last thing I want to talk about is the bell because that’s what REALLY gets me mmmmmmmmmmm… SO! During Boyd’s fight with Ives, there’s a moment where Ives has fled the room they were fighting in and Boyd doesn’t know where he is, so he’s checking behind all these random doors and not finding him when he hears a bell ringing in the courtyard. He goes out and sees the ringing bell but no one near it. Instead of going towards it where he knows Ives is likely waiting for him though, he walks towards the barn, as if in a daze. When he enters, he sees the bear trap and gets an “Aha!” look on his face. 

Now, who do we know who is associated with both that bell and a bear trap? It’s Reich! He is the only person we ever see ring that bell and (in a deleted scene) he uses bear traps as target practice, shooting at them to snap them shut while Boyd watches. So, at the very least, we can say that Reich indirectly inspires Boyd in that course of action. 

BUT, because I am me, I’d like to take it a step further by proposing that, since Reich is haunting both Boyd AND Ives, he influences Ives to ring the bell (with Ives not consciously thinking anything more of about than “this will surely get Boyd’s attention >:)”) and then influences Boyd to walk over to the barn instead of immediately continuing the fight so he can show him how to end it once and for all. Boyd asked Reich to “tell me what to do,” and Reich answered him!

I did also write a fic about this concept a few years ago if anyone is interested!

I saw this awesome fanart by @/sidetrek and was feeling crazy. And then it reminded me of this scene existing and I felt even crazier. Because what did they mean by this. What did they mean by this. What did they mean by thj

LOST: Season One

[cassandracain52]

Pfft. Imagine if there was a change in the guards while Stpeh's wailing on her dad.

"Hey Mike."

"Hey, Joe. What's going on in there?"

"Brown's daughter came to visit. She's beating him senseless."

"Ah."

"Is this where you tell me to stop her?"

"Eh, it's Brown. Let her have her fun."

“Eh, it’s Brown”😭😭 That guard really did not care whatsoever.(context here) Stephanie coulda killed Arthur and he woulda been like “idk he just died. Suddenly. No explanation. It’s a mystery”

real talk though, if another guard came across Stephanie “visiting” her dad, I’d imagine it wouldn’t be dissimilar to those guys outside Joker’s cell when Damian was beating him with a crowbar in Batman and Robin (2009) #13

“Nah. Screw ‘im”

[reverentwormpriest]

the outside-the-fandom world needs to get familiar with snufmin's canonical yaoi game. ppl have said this is like if ppl shipped whinnie the poo and piglet but last time I checked whinnie the poo didn't tell piglet "I think about you all the time" as a freudian slip then bashfully look away and try to play it off as piglet stared at him hanging on every last word. or whatever

and he didnt return to piglet every year after fucking off to the woods for the winter despite his nomadic solitary nature . specifically choosing to go during the winter when piglet is hibernating. and moomin i mean piglet didnt call his girlfriend "snufkin" i mean "whinnie the poo" and they were about to kiss after that . im not insane about people thinking snufmin is another one of those yaois that happened cuz tumblr be tumblring what are you talking about

[bigskydreaming]

The thing that kills me about the Star Wars prequel trilogy and why I will die on my hill that my problem is not that Star Wars is a tragedy, its that its a badly written tragedy, is that Anakin Skywalker was at his closest to being a good Jedi when he was ten years old.
