Probably never getting finished :( but here’s a old wip from a few months back :3

[ra9d011]

wait if I’m doing the math correctly… Mark died in 1992 and Sarah was born in 1989..

1992-1989=3

DOSE THAT MEAN MARK DIED WHEN SARAH WAS 3?????

okay but is it just me who gets HUGE twin peaks vibes from the mandela catalogue??

i have no idea if there is legitimately direct inspiration from twin peaks but: (!!!!!!!spoilers for both)

- doppelgängers and tulpas

- heavy artistic use of nostalgia, postmodern americana, christian/buddhist lore and the uncanny valley. also both have this gritty, almost film noir-ish vibe. and both have colour schemes and visuals as narratively important

- entities as manifestation of the concept of evil, led by a supreme evil being: in tmc the alternates are depicted through biblical lens, tied to the image of satan (who in this story is gabriel, aka a false angel); in twin peaks, a lot of the creatures, doppelgängers and whatnot are tied to the entity of BOB, which is described as being the personification of “the evil that men do”. also the black lodge, where the entities in twin peaks come from, is described as being the domain of evil and dark power

- entities having otherworldly origin: the alternates from tmc are implied to come from another dimension, which really makes me think of the black lodge again

- use of psychological warfare by entities to lead victims to their demise, which leads me to my next point: i’m reaaaally drawing parallels between mark heathcliff & laura palmer - good christian teenagers (well, at least initially), being driven insane by their tormentors and the process of it all being documented by diaries and film footage; in tmc the way to surviving an alternate attack is to be willing to hear whatever horrific things it’s saying to you, which mark wasn’t so he died. this makes me think of laura’s secret diary that details her emotional abuse at the hands of BOB: one of the things that made her become more and more vulnerable and unstable until him killing her is the fact he was constantly bombarding her with awful images and thoughts and she was pushing them away, convinced it would make them stop or chase him away (but it backlashed). what is more, both mark and laura attempt to use religion as a shield against these attacks, to no avail (“and the angels wouldn’t help you”/“who have i been praying to all this time?”)

- taking place in 80s/90s, with a continuity in the early-ish 21st century. also, in tmc the divide between the 90s and the 2000s eras of the narrative are defined by the shift from analog to digital media, which reminds me how twin peaks:the return(2017, shot digitally), is deliberately given a cleaner, more modern look than the original run(it was between the years of like 89-90, I think? and filmed on film strip, aka analog). and like, the “older” era of both these shows is steeped in retro nostalgia

- alienation between people as a result of tragedy, paranoia (either between characters or on the watchers' part): in tmc, this is likely something the characters experience, given that anyone they love could turn out to just be an alternate doppelgänger or have M.A.D. . in twin peaks, the fact anyone could turn out to be laura’s killer + anyone could turn out to not be themselves but possessed by BOB (like leland palmer was);

- both shows are set in rural small towns that have a facade of homeliness and peace but underneath it, awful things are happening (both supernatural and otherwise)

- ominous, cryptic lines (strange and unique enough to be quotable by fans) ("i feel like i know her but sometimes my arms bend back"/"i am the one true savior. i must reverse the delusion. joseph is next.", that kind of thing...)

- the entities of twin peaks look, move and speak in…pretty uncanny ways lol, which again makes me think of the alternates in tmc. especially with the nonstop cryptic ominous riddles

- the us government getting involved, classified files, secret operations etc

- tragic dynamics with parents/parent figures

- tmc has some cop show elements like twin peaks, and one of the main characters being an investigator

- a lot of teen characters, also both shows having an entity that often targets kids (BOB & 6)

- mirror fuckeries

tbh i have no idea if alex kister has even watched twin peaks (though he likely has or at least heard of it because i know he’s a fan of the shining, which is a cult classic vintage horror movie, much akin to twin peaks) but even if he hasn’t, i feel like it has still indirectly affected his work, as twin peaks has a massive cultural legacy and has been pivotal in establishing the small town mystery genre and modern horror as a whole, and i think whether intentional or not, analog horror as a whole owes a great deal to david lynch (not even just twin peaks but also inland empire, lost highway, eraserhead…)

(please yap with me about this in comments and tags, i am so hyperfixated lately)

Just gotta say some things rn

      1. The Alex kister drama situation:

im just here to talk about the Alex drama that is happening rn I keep seeing people attacking Alex without knowing who is the real victim... You can't just blow up the target before knowing the truth behind... As you can tell Ven said in the doc that they are "a spy who came to destroy alex life" and that's a bit suspicious of someone to say that in the doc so you mean like you just came here to destroy alex career and life is that what you want?... If that so then you are a fucking monster Ven just gotta say it you're a horrible person who destroy people life and if you are one of their friends you should be ashamed of what they did

     2. The drama:

I have seen some people doing the fucking "grommer nae nae" trend with Alex and it's not funny and another thing saying "Alex in my new jail!" And putting him in a jail with a problematic people is not fucking funny ok you seriously not funny another thing when that goofy Russian person who just made a horrible Photoshop of Alex wearing a shit thing and saying "b-but I still call him a fembo-" your not cool for that do you like me calling you a brat when you don't want that mf stop being selfish 💀 

     3. exposed/doxxed:

buddy buddy do you really think that's a really good idea to do?... I don't fucking think it's cool to do that shit buddy exposing/ doxxing has family and dead grandpa or something is cool? You think it will make it not worse? No you litterly made it even worse then before he litterly got ghosted by DB and they we're a bad partner for him honestly what a horrible people....

     4. why Alex didn't mentions the other victims:

Bc they weren't that important DB and Ven are the most important people bc they are the reason that ruined Alex life and he had to mention some things about it and how they really didn't feel uncomfortable...like bro if you we're uncomfortable you can just say it and Alex will probably just fucking stop it don't you have mind you litterly said "no I'm fine with it I'm not uncomfortable!" DB said that to Alex and Ven when he self-haram you didn't actually care we know that

     5. Alex being racist but he's not:

Buddy please what the frick man? You litterly faked Alex being racist just for your goofy friend and do you think SORRY WILL litterly fix everything? No no no YOU RUIN IT EVEN MORE AND MAKE IT WORSE DUMMY Alex never said racist things to Andrew and you litterly saying I'm the doc "I don't have proof" but guess what some people actually believe that shit like what THERE WAS LITTERLY NO PROOF???? 

     6. why the doc is fake:

ok here is why the doc is fake just honestly Ven had just faked some images and times and hopefully there were some people who find out about it don't think your not in w big trouble Ven you in a worse trouble rn your just a coward Ven and you you know that

    7. More drama:

"quite saying Alex is innocent!" "Alex is not fully innocen-" ok buddy we know Alex is not fully innocent but what the hell you want else "you can't forgive him ye-" buddy please stop this is not about you some people can forgive him and some people not but now he turned out to be innocent and guilty and he's now the real victim here he have been doxxed/ghosted/exposed/people send him death threats/all the actors left him just for what? For a fucking relationship drama like what else you want you want him to go to Ven house and beg for apologize what's wrong with you... "I will support Alex victims until I di-" who cares if you die it's not like the victims will care if you support them bc they just want attention

     8. Problematic/grommer:

do you guys remember when Ven said that Alex is a grommer and a pedophile? Well he's not actually vent has deleted the post they made on tumble like it was nothing and then apologize for calling Alex a grommer and saying "we never mean Alex being grommer or pedophile" then why you said in the doc that he is pedo and manipulate then it turns out he's not? Crazy Ven you know people have fall for that shit weirdo

- I just  want this drama to end already and idc if you attack me it's not like I'm the only person who is on Alex side mf I ain't scared of no shit let us have the fun we always do I feel like this year destroy everything I hole everything get back to normal again
