Strangers From Hell Live Blogging

I usually stick to my planned shows in a planner order but randomly wanted to watch something dark, so landed here even though it wasn't on my To Watch List.

Do wanna do a proper live blogging, so think I'll only do my favourite parts or things that give me a strong reaction

SPOILERS! I also know some spoilers like Lee Dong Wook's character is a cannibal dentist? or something and also he kills our main character or the other way around, I didn't register the names

Ep 1 (Jan 19)

was afraid we'd get a whole lot about gambling for a sec. Hate gambling in shows so bad omg

bruh is that a real gun or fake wtf girl I'm scared the "crazy man" is boutta kill "the pervert" while playing

lol on the nose with the You know the best part about living here? Nobody cares if anybody here dies

okay it's a fake with play bullets or something ig

damn, Jongwoo fucked up that guy who was beating up someone else bc he got flashbacks to his time in the army

damn someone made a hole to peep into Jongwoo's room

oh the quip about the "he's not stuttering right now" was leading up to the fact that they're twins. i was wondering if mans was faking it

So far, quite unsettling and I'm liking it. Also fun that Jongwoo can't quite tell what's going on or what's happening but we the audience also can't always tell what's really happening vs what's Jongwoo's imagination or dream (like the pervert just continuously saying 'should i kill you?' which was also when the ganster guy found the play bullet thing in his room which was real but it lead to Jongwoo's bloody dream so was the pervert part real?)

Anyway, time to go to bed because it's 12AM and I have to get up in 7.5 hours and I can't handle scary or unsettling things later at night

Things we know that Jongwoo doesn't:

The Pervert is making a hole or cutting the floor or whatever upstairs (in the 4th floor where nobody lives?)

There's a hole in his room that someone can see through

The dentist mans who isn't even involved in the story yet is fucked up

Ep 2: Human Nature (Jan 20)

I hope we stay mostly at the creepy weirdo apartment instead of Jongwoo's freaking workplace bc that gives me more anxiety and stress than the murders or whatever's boutta happen in the apartments

Everyone at this fucking place just has terrible dreams of death and murder, huh? including the gangster. anyway he wants to move out so I'm assuming he's gonna die soon. not to mention he's fucking going to the women's floor that's supposed to be off-limits and empty but the pervert's out there digging the floor there anyway

what the fuck a dead body with blood, how long has the fucking body been there

oh damn one of the twins struck the gangster down?

I wonder whether the landlord knows about the killings and weird happening on the 4th floor or not. her talking about how after the gangster leaves, only good people will be left was sus and creepy

so one of the twins deposited the dead cat?

okay so that specific twin (giggling, stuttering) killed one cat but the others were scorched and burned, so either his other twin killed them or it was the dentist

oh is that missing person poster of the guy who's dead and stored in the 4th floor?

hmm "that guy" that the twins keep talking about. the dentist?

Jongwoo's anger issues and uncontrolled outbursts is interesting because I originally thought he'd be very much the odd one out but he also has darkness in him (even if it's not cruel and sadistic like the other neighbors). like even though that was his imagination of standing up to the hyung boss man but when he beat up those guys in ep 1 was def an indication of what he's capable of

Okay so here's the thing right is the dentist and the "calm creepy" guy in the apartment the same guy? No? The dentist looks like Lee Dongwook (which he is) while the "calm" guy looks kinda like Lee Minho lmao. okay lmfao this whole time for some reason I thought the dentist and the smiley calm creepy guy were supposed to be the same person and kept getting confused that they literally didn't look alike and also was like why would a dentist be at that dingy place wtf but turns out they're unrelated. actually i guess the reason i thought they were the same was bc i knew the smiley guy was up to something weird and terrible for sure and thus thought he was the murderous creep dentist everybody kept talking about

That was hindi in the notebook of the old tenant guy? I saw a comment about how the old Pakistani tenant had a really sad backstory hmm

oh this lady is for sure in on the men making the tenants disappear

bruv, isn't he the police? he should be able to escape the chokehold imo

also the smiley guy is so ? why is he killing a detective or police officer or whoever like how are you gonna hide all of that

ohhh the dentist has a cult I see. In the volunteers I can spot the dentist, the twins, and the landlord lady but not the smiley calm guy though I guess he's one of the guys. will the police lady realize who's in the pics since she's seen one of the twins? Also, I rewatched the dentist and police convo and he mentioned meeting Mr. Park the other dentist at volunteer work, so is he also gonna be involved?

lmfao the convo on the roof with "like it?" "i thought you and i could be the same type of person" is so gay like that's how people talk about homosexuality and that's how confessions sometimes start in BLs. except this time it's murder and horrifying torture!

Things we know that Jongwoo doesn't:

The location of the gangster and also the previous Pakistani resident

Ep 3: A Secret Whisper (Jan 20)

kinda fun how casually the dentist strangles the smiley guy

Was the "I thought you and I might be the same type of person" just in the dentist's head? This show kinda reminds me of Midnight Motel in terms of showing the thoughts and scenarios in the characters' heads, though this is showing much darker scenarios and dreams generally

lmfao Jongwoo being so eager about crime fiction and writing about a murderer who kills the same way the dentist just killed lmfao so funny The Dentist falling in love with him or what and then Jongwoo being charmed by him due to the flattery oh silly man

oh that diary is so fucked. people definitely going into your room

somehow them actually burying a body (the police officer's? the smiley creepy guy's?) seems so mundane like ah yes the murderers must dispose of the body (though does the pervert's ankle bracelet track his location?)

What makes the people who live there just keep writing 죽어 repeatedly while in a trance-like state

let's go back to the dentist extracting the teeth bc that's better than the hell that is Jongwoo's internship bruv I really can't

oh lmfao the models in the dentist's office is made of real teeth i guess? or is he just storing them as fucking stones for rings he's made

oh okay so the landlord lady was a caretaker for the twins at the orphanage

pls the twin appearing closer when Jongwoo peaks out from behind the wall freaked me out + kept being nervous that somebody's behind Jongwoo

ah lmfao ofc the dentist is indeed behind Jongwoo

so do they put a dead cat toward the top and keep the body underneath?

what did the dentist feed Jongwoo ahh is it the gangster's corpse?? cannibalism? pls the dentist really just says what it is but makes it seem like an out-of-the-world idea like "oh i thought there was a body or something" in the bag and now asking if Jongwoo thinks it's human meat or something ew

Things we know that Jongwoo doesn't:

The creepy smiley guy and gangster are both dead and everybody else in the apartment is in on it

he ate human meat rip

Ep 4: Mental Derangement (Jan 21)

It's translated as something like it's delicious but the dentist uses the word 죽어 in it like "it's to die for" lmfao yeah that meat is to die for pun

girl, did Jongwoo's Sergeant in the army also eat human meat wtf or is it just his dreams and real life traumas getting mixed together

okayyyyy I was wondering if the dentist is only good and great with his patients (that one boy was doing great with him) but seems like he may have scared the girl in the car or she saw through him or something

fuckk when they were talking on the phone or texting they seemed meh but now that Jongwoo and his gf are talking irl and being cute, it's soooo endearing I'm

wow Jongwoo's workplace is really gonna kill me

So the landlady saw Jongwoo conversing with the police and the dentist may or may not have seen Jongwoo conversing with his gf (idk if that was jongwoo's imagination or not...)

damn, so the apartment duellers really fucking take people just off the streets to kill and eat? bruv, how are the police only now tentatively investigating them

oh so at least the bodies are being found even if nobody's connecting them with Eden Studio

the subs just completely ignore hyung and such even when JaeHo's like "stop calling me hyung at work" instead of dapyonim

naurrr miss police officer letting out too much about the cat deaths and goshiwon Eden Studio suspicions to the literal mastermind dentist behind it, hope you make it out of the show alive miss girl

What are the clues police lady has so far: the cat deaths near Eden studio, missing people from Eden studio, the twins' videotape - does she realize the woman was the landlady?, one of the twins was wearing the Pakistani guy's watch

The landlady ajhumma is kinda nervous around the dentist and even asked him if he'd kill her bc of her recklessness hmm

I like the shot of Jongwoo walking around the floor and encountering walls everywhere with so many voices in his head. I guess the ajumma fed him the drink to knock him out as they deal with 303 creepy guy's body

Ep 5: The Notebook of Malte Laurids Brigge (Jan 21)

oh my fucking bad, they talked about dealing with room 303 which is Jongwoo - he's supposed to be a replacement for 302 who was the creepy smiley guy

I hope there's a gifset of the parallels between everybody looking at smiling at Jongwoo and the pervert's altercation vs the gangster and the twins previously

bro what the fuck is the "are you filming me right now" "you looked pretty" exchange like evil gay dentist

dang, was the dentist tryna sus out Jongwoo's bloodthirst levels on the roof lol

rip Jongwoo sending home money and thus having less to move out

oof the landlady told the dentist about Jongwoo and the police officer, who the dentist was already ready to kill

the landlady really got the old lady to drink blood, I wonder who that is and why she wanted that health insurance

byee this annoying reporter hitting a nail on the head like maybe a serial killer lives in your goshiwon, imagine living next to a corpse, etc

the cop going everywhere, including the fourth floor, without backup is so alksdfj

the pervert following behind the cop and hiding when she turns around is so

fuckkkkkk the lady fucking escaped and everything only for her to run into the dentist instead of catching up to the cop fucking hell

oh was that thing that the landlady made the old lady drink not blood? I thought it was just terribly coloured blood but seems like it's "mushroom juice" that's lethal cuz that's how they're killing this street lady. i assumed the old lady had just been knocked out but is she dead too

lol so is the dentist fr following Jongwoo around. his practice is deserted and instead he's sending Jongwoo texts like "don't you just wanna kill him"

is Ji Eun really gonna cheat on Jongwoo with the boss man guy? pls T.T no

naurrr fuck Ji Eun now going to see Jongwoo at the Eden Studio but Jongwoo's drunk at the police station fucking fuck

ah shit the dentist has not met Ji Eun outside the studio

this show is making me so stressed

I think this is my fave episode so far, it's got so much suspense and Things Happening and stress

Ep 6: Lost (Jan 21)

lol I'm so dumb I keep reading the episode on-air threads on reddit or going through gifsets of the odd number ep before I finish the even number ep and so end up getting spoilers. I read the 5-6 on-air and learned that the dentist knifes one of the twins oof

T.T I don't want Ji Eun to go into the building T.T I can'ttttt I hope she doesn't die soon

well at least she's not dying this time but everybody's aware that she trusts the tenants so little that he'd bring the police to the place

no she's right like why does Jongwoo still stay here and I get her point like "there are people who are stranger than them although they don't appear to be" bc she might interpret Jongwoo's fear as ableism but like miss girl rip

Whose photo is that in the metamorphosis. Jongwoo and gf? so the dentist is the one who's been going into his room?

oh... that thump thump was from the dentist living on the 4th floor and bouncing that ball? I originally thought it was the pervert digging a hole on the fourth floor

girl why does Jongwoo just keep drinking the stuff the lady gives him alskdfj he knows her eggs are bloody at least, so he should be more suspicious of other stuff

The giggly twin saying the landlady is the scariest person in the whole place and the landlady saying she raised the dentist. okay inch resting, was this also at the orphanage

and so it's like the landlady was the original recruiter? and now the dentist is trying to recruit someone as well? he failed with the smiley creepy guy but now it's Jongwoo

damn, Jongwoo fr tempting all the tenants into killing him or what

oof that drink the landlady gave Jongwoo really had him go off the deep end ig it's mushroom juice, so hallucinogens? also i realized after reading reddit comments that the shots of her cooking has been her cooking these mushrooms to get the juice

oof you should've moved out without asking for any deposit back or anything Jongwoo

nahh how does the dentist have time to stalk not only Jongwoo but also the cop?

oh i see dentist was stalking Jongwoo and the cop also saw him

rip Ji Eun really thinks Jongwoo's just going through it but there's nothing wrong with the goshiwon

ohhh the insurance of that old lady was life insurance?

oh Jongwoo's paranoia is getting ramped upppp as he realizes Ji Eun doesn't believe him at all and he can't afford to more out. Mans bought a knife and is holding it behind his hand while talking to the new guy, giving me flashbacks to the pervert in earlier eps

ooh okay I was wondering whether the new guy is fr and he's gonna get killed soon or if he's also in on the scheme and seems like he is? I wonder if he's in that volunteering photo from Ep 2

girl Jongwoo's going up to the fourth floor with his knife while pervert and twins try to clan up a body?! T.T

man I really am gonna just not look at the fucking reddit posts or tumblr gifs before I finish ep 8 and 10 because knowing that the dentist is gonna knife the twin really took out so much anticipation out of this agh

interesting reaction from the tenants about the death though. the twin being scared but not wanting to die, the landlady being like ah he reached heaven first (cult vibes increased), dentist being frazzled

Ep 7: The Horror Of The Basement (Jan 22)

miss cop I hope your teeth hurt less

ohhh is she gonna connect the dots the name of the dental clinic Spring - the orphanage Spring - the dentist chair on 4th floor

do I trust this new guy Seok Yun?

ooh are we gonna get to see the backstory of the scars from like ep 3 or 4 when he went to take a shower

the pervert getting some girl's legging things ew

oh the cop has now seen the volunteering photo at the dentist's

okay yeah as expected the dentist is from the orphanage and sees the landlady as his mother

agh idk if i trust this new kiddd like Jongwoo realizing from the rap that their situations are similar is making me wonder if the new kid orchestrated it or not

oh the gangster's still alive? girl

rip the twin doesn't seem like he's taking his brother's death well

the new kid jumping to "oh do you think they're organ traffickers?" like hmmm you're too readily accepting

oof Jongwoo gonna think Ji Eun's cheating on him with the boss which... is she?

Jongwoo's so much more callous now, both with the new kid and the twin like he's got anger issues fr

the dentist is really so alksdfj like he just overhears Jongwoo's complaining and anger, corners him against the edge of the rooftop, tell him to hate/curse/kill the people he wants to, then is like oof you might fall

Jongwoo didn't close his door properly when he went to pee agh

ah fuck the landlady showing her scary side yikes and Jongwoo rampaging on the pervert's room to find the knife rip

oh damn Jongwoo's threatening the pervert with a small pair of scissors or something okay okay

lol as expected, the twin hid the knife from the pervert's room

What are we supposed to make of the new guy calling Jongwoo to tell the pervert was staring at him in the kitchen? Was he lying since he was in the stairwell or did it really happen and he just made the call after going to the stairwell?

damn, so Jongwoo's keyboard bashing is real?? since its on the CCTV?

Oh Jongwoo my guy really beating up the 3 kids who were boutta rock his shit. his anger and the physical manifestations of it

So in the PTSD military scene, Jongwoo beat up the guy who was beating someone up and was like ah... should've killed him. interesting, he's had violent tendencies since before

ofc the dentist finds the beaten up, bloody Jongwoo on the street after the fight - i bet the dentist is happy to see Jongwoo's instability and bloodlust

Ep 8: Voices That Choke Me (Jan 22)

oh shit I thought we were gonna get the story of how dentist met and indoctrinated the smiley creepy guy and so thought maybe it was him in the dentist chair but nopeeee our dentist is operating on Jongwoo rn

"What are you?" "What do you think I really am?" "What" "A dentist who lives in a goshiwon? Or a serial killed that you'd see in crime novels?" Also, I just realized that the dentist does indeed call them all Jagi he was like I can be anything Jagi-ga wants

Oh I like the cuts of him introducing himself to the smiley man vs Jongwoo

oh damn so many things are happening. the cop was investigating the parking lot where the detective disappeared/got murdered. Jongwoo and the dentist's conversation continued but we didn't get to see it. Jongwoo's now in the police station for beating up those kids and he's not talking

I don't understand the dentist, why is he appearing at the police station and saying he's gonna pay the parents on behalf of Jongwoo to settle like girl you're suspicious and you know the cop is suspicious of Eden Studio

oh nooo Jongwoo not talking and looking like :< poor boy what's going onnnn what'd the dentist do to his mouth or traumatize him or what

ah fuck Jongwoo's so fucked he mistook his shirt for a dead cat

It's kinda interesting that when Jongwoo's hearing voices in his head and shaking, it's not just the tenants of this apartment but also his military and work and girlfriend's voices

I loveee that Jongwoo used to have so many violent imagined scenarios before that now when he does do actual violence, like breaking the keyboard earlier and now beating his coworker like I kept being like is it real for real?

Jongwoo's so spaced out, just blank behind the eyes

oof another case of Jongwoo smilingand saying "I should've killed him"

ooh the anesthesia in the string is often used in dental settings + the DNA may be from the missing detective

damn ngl the boss hyung doing more to understand Jongwoo than I would, I'd just fire and avoid him

Gonna fucking eat glass, this is one of my fave scenes

(Fave Scene) Boss hyung trying to be understanding -> Jongwoo getting angry at boss and trying to fight him after Ji Eun shows up and being full of emotion -> the dentist showing up and Jongwoo deflating and being scared and trying to move away + moving Ji Eun back -> the dentist goading the boss hyung and also speaking to Jongwoo about half the time even though he's speaking about the dentist and ofc the boss hyung ready to fight -> Jongwoo being scared that the dentist is gonna do something and so Jongwoo stepping in to take the dentist outside bc he's afraid the dentist would do something to the boss and/or Ji Eun ig

lmao the dentist revealing that he was stalking Jongwoo when he saw Ji Eun get out of the boss hyung's car and saying he knows Jongwoo wanted to kill the man then ahh psychological warfare

ask;ldfj ahh I'm so fully convinced the dentist is like in love with Jongwoo bc wtf is urging Jongwoo to kill the boss hyung and when he doesn't, following him to the office and injecting him bc ig he hurt Jongwoo? Dentist even says "Ah, I'm not usually this impulsive. Jongwoo-ssi is very special to me. He's special to me."

also the reporter's seeing all this okay interesting i wonder if he's gonna make it out alive and tell the tale or if he's gonna be spotted cuz his phone goes off or the dentist goes to take the CCTV tapes or something

oh the dentist is calling someone to clean up, i guess it's the pervert and twin?

oh you reporter fucker why are you in your car in front of the Eden Studio after following a murderer there and talking on the phone all chill with the windows down be fucking serious

hmm the alive twin is interesting. what'd he do to the officer did he let him go? he didn't mention him to the dentist and also he gave the dentist some attitude

okay I was suspicious of the new guy for quite a while but I guess he's also unaware of anything actually going on lol anyway, he's eating the human flesh so happily, I wonder what the dentist thinks of him and whether he'll take a liking to him like he recruited smiley creepy and is trying Jongwoo or if they'll just eat him. Also they love saying it's human meat and laughing about it haha

naur the new guy's exploring the fourth floor? oh yeah i remember he also called Jongwoo this ep or last ep saying he smelled blood from there oh my guy

also is the body in the bag the boss buying or reporter’s?

aw poor new guy, you had no chance of going undetected. might survive if you’re a fucked it murderer too tho

My new favourite episode ahh like just the inability to realize whether Jongwoo was beating up the supervisor for real and then the restaurant conversations were both sooo good

Ep 9: Cognitive Dissonance (Jan 23)

oh shit he mistokk Ji Eun for the dentist and litrally held up a knife to her fuck. also on reddit someone said on the preview apparently the dentist kidnaps her so...

miss girl looking for the missing car and stuff in the fucking forest where the guys go to bury bodies or whatever ah sigh will you make it out of this story alive i wonder

oh fuck Jongwoo going back to Eden Studio because he realizes something's up with the new guy agh

oh fuckkkkkkk so??? is the new guy now in on it too???? has he been converted to being a murderer so easily? or is he being held at knifepoint to convince Jongwoo

ah shit new guy crying and bleeding as he begs Jongwoo to stay rip

I hate this detective fucker's condescension sooo much, whether it be because she's a cop not a detective or bc she's a woman

I guess the cop doesn't know that Jongwoo works at this place either rip

Also the body was still at the crime scene but the CCTV was deleted, so was the "clean up" deleted the CCTV but keeping the body there bc the disappearance would be too suspicious otherwise or what. Also who was in the body being carried at the end of Ep 7 then? The reporter?

So the twin has some SD cards? camera memory? idk what that's for. But he spoke to the reporter... was that just to play around before killing him or did he give the reporter an actual scoop and is happy that the serial killer gonna get busted as revenge for his brother

damn the dentist gonna send the new guy's tooth to Jongwoo?

lol the landlady taking the woman praying in the first floor out of the building

so the murder team is also planning on leaving Eden Studio

the twin letting new guy try to escape and even singing red light green light song... this was before Squid Game came out but it's giving me flashbacks

lmfao naurr not the landlady finding the new guy and pretending to not know anything and hide him agh this game is so fucked

poor new guy just keeps getting caught between murderers like it's so horrifying all i can do is laugh

REPORTER GO WORK AT A FUCKING CAFE mans writing his story about the murders in his car like 2 feet away from where the murders happen with his window down and no awareness of his surroundings.

lmfao pls the shot panning to let us see the dentist reading out the window and nodding along is killing me

Also, I wonder if the dentist knows that the twin gave the info to the reporter

oh Jongwoo keeps looking everywhere because he thinks the dentist is gonna show up

ah fuck Jongwoo should've 100% told Ji Eun that Jae Ho was dead as soon as he found out bc that'd make her be careful of the texts and even grant him some credibility that the dentist killed him (though she could also think that Jongwoo killed him lol) but now the dentist is getting to her

noo this army guy also going to Eden Studio? like girl no have him stay and call for backup so that he doesn't die too

Ep 10: Gas-lighting (Jan 23)

I should be studying right now and give myself the last ep as a reward afterwards but uhhh I don't wanna wait, I need to know the ending now

Another hour before this is over hmm I wonder how this'll end. I guess from that one comment on MDL, one of them kills the other (Jongwoo to Mun jo bc it's supposed to be happy ending) but also there are theories about the ending on reddit, so I guess it'll be ambiguous. I'm just hoping that it's not all in Jongwoo's head though, I feel like this would be rated lower if it was and there wouldn't be theories and I would be spoiled about it by now

the title is gas-lightning I wonder if it'll just be about everyone convincing Jongwoo that he's going crazy or... a pun? will there be a fire? The orphanage and 4th floor both burned down and we saw the twin with a gas bottle thing

pls the way the dentist always appears so humorously is gonna kill me like the other two pointing and him and even saying 'ja jan!' as he slides into frame

damn the dentist is beating the shit outta Jongwoo

ooh, are they gonna frame Jongwoo for the murders?

After reveal: Okay I thought that the dentist was gonna get Jongwoo to kill his friend or something and also the smile made me question if he was gonna somehow frame Jongwoo with the tooth bracelet but then since we didn't see him for a longass time, I'd briefly wonder about what he was doing but not dwell on it

okay at least the cop picked up the phone before getting knocked out so that the other cop heard the commotion

lol the landlady really got pissed off about the pervert first fucking with the thug and now the cop when they're in her jail cell

This is the funniest screenshot of all time: all those knives and the one she will choose is blurred

damn we really had Mun jo kill the landlady

and the surviving twin is no more

what's Munjo's end goal here exactly

oh Munjo still wants Jongwoo to join him? Or is he just lying

I can't see their fight properly in the dark

"the human instinct to gnaw on the weak and enjoy as the weak suffer" - k ig that's Munjo's motivation or lack thereof

After reveal: so that's what the dentist meant when he said "you enjoyed seeing the people from the studio die" bc I was like the victims?? but no Jongwoo killed the murderers

"Of course, jagi you are the best masterpiece I've ever created" because Jongwoo promises him a most painful death just before he kills him. Though what does he mean by now jagi and I will be together forever... girl is he gonna haunt him or will they run away together

oh actually these detectives needa die I'm not satisfied until this man apologizes to the cop and she stomps on their heads

oh framing?????? or what like what's going on why is the gangster saying it's Jongwoo. oh i see nevermind he's saying the others tried to murder him

hmm what are they investigating right now, why is the detective saying that the landlady killing the pervert is odd? Also they keep kinda slightly bringing up the vacation rental family being murdered probably by the Eden Studio murder gang but why now... did we even hear about it before

ohhh so is it like what we saw with Mun jo killing the lady and the lady killing the pervert not true? An amateur like Jong Woo did it?

brooo okay yknow I thought the thing with the dentist calling the twin stupid was so Jongwoo-lite, turns out it was Jongwoo

hmmm okay so idk I guesssss Jongwoo did kill the dentist, him and the cop seeing him around is just hallucinations and paranoia (including when he was alive and well and touching his adam's apple after all the murders bc Ji Eun saw that there was nobody else there), but Jongwoo now knows what it's like to kill someone and the "honey and i will be together forever" comment is meant to signify that Jongwoo is the dentist's masterpiece and the glitch at the end

Also, what happened to Jongwoo's friend - just an unmentioned casualty?

Here's why I think Moonjo is dead:

I think Jongwoo did kill Moonjo and afterwards came back to his room and had hallucinations with repeating sentences from their last conversation. The girlfriend saw nobody there and Jongwoo has previously had hallucinations in the mirror about the boss hyung's death like "It wasn't me!" Additionally, the scene was just his last words from the death scene + Adam's apple grab as seen before, so it was like Jongwoo's knowledge of what Moonjo would say or do, not really Moonjo

Everybody accepts that Moonjo is dead, so I'll assume they found the body tbh

I'll assume Jongwoo was hallucinating him after they got out of the building and I'll assume the cop was as well because she saw him in a crowded elevator and I feel like he would've been recognized since they family's been in the news now

There is a sense of "somebody's watching" the cop as she gets in the car at the end but to me, it's once again a manifestation of the cop's paranoia because we also get to see as if someone's watching from the backseat of her car and she turns back to find nobody there.

It's just more satisfying and scarier to me to assume that Moonjo's dead but he lives on in Jongwoo's personality and also Jongwoo and the cop's paranoia - he's haunting them and that's how Moonjo and Jongwoo will be together forever. He's a terror that is gone now but he's irrevocably tainted others, and made Jongwoo his masterpiece and final work of creation.

Overall Thoughts:

I'm not as blown away or enraptured by the ending as everybody else seems to be but I thought it was good and expected. The whole descent of Jongwoo was interesting to see, as well as how his environment and people around him made him who he is and what he had in him from previous experiences and by nature.

The acting and cinematography/atmosphere were good. I liked the hallucinations/dreams (I loved it when I couldn't tell whether he really was breaking the keyboard until the CCTV showed it or whether he was beating up the supervisor until the others came in bc he had violent imagined scenarios so often) and I'm glad it was just 10 eps.

I do like to think Moonjo's obsession was tinted with gayness but the cursory glance at tiktok/twitter shipper posts isn't giving me what I want - it's too ironically cutesy but I like that Moonjo is darkly obsessed and Jongwoo hates it so bad. I've been obsessed with going through people's archives for the strangers from hell tag and reblogging them though lol

I like that he's dead but still alive through Jongwoo; that even if he was killed, he still won.

Rating: 7.5/10

Tiktoks:

Moonjo couldn't have done it w/o me

Immortal He, Return to me - mostly for the comments who get that he's physically dead but lives on through Jongwoo

Moonjo/Jongwoo except it's accurate dynamics where Moonjo is all up in his space and Jongwoo wants to escape

Moonjo vs Jongwoo like cannibal/doesn't like human meat, encourages him to kill people/kills people, etc (jwdscore)

#strangers from hell #ep by ep commentary #okay time for me to stop obsessively looking at sfh gifsets for several hours a day and reblogging them (except those I've already queued)#it's bc i'm not connecting w the fic (i don't want murder husbands T.T i want moonjo's gay but evil obsessive love to destroy jongwoo) and #so my fandom interaction is just looking at gifs and going ooh ahh

OK, so this movie was terrible. I mean, obviously. But I gotta give it some love for its bold absurdity managing to be pretty goddamn hilarious in parts. This was about as lowbrow as lowbrow can go, but they threw in enough suuuuuuper cheeseball effects and laughable blood splatter to make it not only bearable, but somehow...dare I say...entertaining? I gotta admit it was a bit rough getting through the bits where it was just the peeps hanging around and drinking and stuff because there wasn't much there other than some laughably terrible acting and a chuckle-worthy joke or two... But the silliness of the evil Llama, retardedness of the humor, and ridiculousness of the effects won me over in the end. OH... (I almost forgot) and the other thing worth mentioning here was actually the rap track made for the credit roll. I ain't gonna lie...it wasn't half bad. Lyrically, I mean. Lol It was bad...but these dudes ( I think it was two rappers, can't remember now) had some skillz. This wasn't some mockery of hip hop, here, these were actually MCs who could drop bars. Anyway, probably the worst movie most folks have ever seen (I'm talking like 5 times worse than Sharknado, bruh), but if you can get through the first 20 and not want to find my house and set it on fire for mentioning it, you just might find yourself morbidly enjoying the experience. 5.5/10 for lulz and the song. Streaming on Prime Video.

D9 and F3 for the yakoozy ask 😌

D.9) Any hot takes? (Something that might not win ya any new friends)

Mmm, yeah, I'm not getting any new friends with this one. That's for sure. But you notice that on the question about characters that shouldn't exist, I said 'not to use it as an excuse to be misogynistic'? It's because I've noticed some really cruel and unfair takes made by women and girls in this fandom who take it upon themselves it rip apart the female characters who dare to get to close to their male faves or who dare to stand in the way of their hot mlm ships and that shit is so not okay. It reeeeeks of internalized misogyny and it makes me sick to read half of the time. (Tbh, this is as much of a gripe about general fandom behaviors than just the rgg fandom but still.)

And you can most definitely tell when it's not thoughtful criticism of female characters who were victims of poor writing (and male writer's rooms) that weren't used to their fullest of potentials. They're the ones that echo the sentiment of 'she was so plain' and 'what did he even see in her' or 'their relationship seemed forced' without very much substantial evidence to back it up. Or just plain old ignoring that the canon romance ever happened- and not because they don't care for romance in general but because they don't want that particular romance.

Don't get me wrong. There have been some takes I've seen about how a certain female character and a certain male protagonist seemed forced that absolutely made sense that weren't rooted in misogyny. I didn't agree but I saw the point! And then there are some that it's like, babe ok- we get it, you want him to only look at your self-insert oc and that's but like, say that next time????

I don't know.

And for those of us that don't identify that way don't get a pass here either, it's still not okay! (sorry I'm not phrasing that properly)

How do I come to the conclusion that a lot of this nasty vitriol toward female characters are based in internalized and general misogyny?

So many of us spend hundreds if not thousands of words, explaining why we don't like *insert poorly written female character* and why they shouldn't have been included in the story and then in the very next post will create these very elaborate think pieces about why this abysmally written male characters is (actually very good, and deeper than we realize, guys!) That shit is fucked.

Why do so many of us expect female characters (who are written by cis-men btw) to be spokespersons for women everywhere who must be deep and complex despite being in, what, 12% percent of the storyline? Meanwhile, we accept the most mediocre of male characters that an entire story can be based up and spend months analyzing and dissecting them in an attempt to make them more interesting that they actually are. Where is the courtesy for female characters? Why are we like this?

And don't even get me started on how we crucify female characters for being bad people and then worship the ground that our fave male characters stand on and go 'oh what a wacky little guy'. Nah, bruh, where the fuck is that same energy??????? WHERE?! IS?! IT?!

And before anyone says a peep, I am and have been guilty of this too. But many of us are too old to be acting the way that we did when we were 12 year olds watching anime and seeing our 2d bfs kissing their female loves interests. It's a lil sick, man. Ngl.

Anyway, if it don't apply let it fly.

F.3) Who are you inviting to karaoke?

Oh absolutely Majima. All day, every day. I'm a terrible singer but he would make me feel like the next international pop sensation by comparison. Oof, I can just feel the stomach curling secondhand embarrassment now.

#rgg ask game #oh boy #i can just see my follower count dwindling now #it's okay #i deserve this

Marvel Studios’ Black Widow Reaction

First time watching Black Widow (2021)

I have mixed expectations on this movie based on what I’ve heard… just getting that out there first…

Can’t wait to see them ruin the Red Guardian by making him a joke and then also ruining Task Master

Damn this movie is two hours long lmao

I heard the opening sequence was great tho

Bruh why does kid Natasha look like an androgynous TikTok kid lmao?

“We’re both upside down!” Thanks Sherlock

Dumb clumsy kid lmao

I wonder what the reason was to have young Nat has blue dyed hair. The lips are on point tho lol. Scarjo has amazingly full lips and this kids face fits that pretty well.

Little Nat needs a new hair dresser or some. Her hair is so uneven lmao.

Oop Nat knows something is up with the parents… well “parents” (yea this movie was spoiled for me lmao)

Hm can’t imagine anything bad will happen to this nice family…

“This’ll be the day that I die.” Hmmmm FORESHADOWING???

Cmon Nat stop looking at pics

Strong dad wow

Nice shot! Took that car out

Okayyy run to catch the plane. Hop ont he wing. Definitely don’t see this going wrong.

Oop mom was shot.

Lemme guess, dad fell off? Oh he didn’t. That’s surprising.

Well. What a nice traumatic childhood.

CUBA

So who were those guys tryna shoot them and who are they with?

Oh it’s a my little pony plushie. Twilight Sparkle! But… that version of twilight came out in 2010… and that one even has wings which came out in

Protective Nat 🥺

So Nat has already had experience with these baddies but not yelena

Wow terrible parents

Casual drugging of children aight

Traumatizing opening credits…

Wow Alexei and Melina are terrible people huh? Letting their little girls get taken.

Why are they watching pigs and cartoons?

Is this a cover of teen spirit???

Ugh Bill Clinton

This was a good opening!! But I heard the rest of the movie doesn’t follow the tone unfortunately… but we’ll see…

Oh h yea I forgot this follows Civil War

Stupid Ross

Oh wow she’s already on a ship lol

Her tracker? She had a tracker?

Florence Pugh baby!!! Love her

Ouch that chick got bodied by that car

Ouch stabbed in the stomach and sliced open too

Well she’s dead…

Red dust??? So this chick just coincidentally had the antidote? Also, great another brainwashing plot lol. I wonder how Nat ever got out of the brainwashing? Well I’m sure we’ll learn about it.

Ouch she just cut out her tracker

Oh goodie task master. One of the most disappointing aspects of the movie I heard

“Smile” why? Lol

Gosh Norway is so friggin gorgeous

Honestly screw the sokovia accords. Ah yes let’s make the heroes of the planet criminals because we want to control them. Sure… why not lmao

Cmon Nat no peeping on men sleeping XD

So who is this guy and how does Nat know him?

Honestly I already ship em more than Nat and Bruce lmao. These guys have been on screen together less than two minutes and already have more chemistry lol.

How the heck did Nat survive her car being bombed without so much of a scratch??? She’s not super human

This ain’t Ross, Nat.

Hey copycat shield user

And now you just threw away your shield

Oh nvm

Hey that’s her move

Oh cmon task master has to use technology to copy her??? The one in the comics just had advanced photographic memory and athletic skills

Okay… so… here’s where I have an issue… I know that task master is later revealed to be a woman, but you can so clearly tell that it’s a man here. The stunt person and actor is a man up until the point of the reveal. It’s that age old cliche of “the masked person reveals themselves to be a girl! But girl can’t fight? Wow! Guess I was wrong!” Man in

Wait so how did Natasha get these vials??? Or were they in the mail?

Wow it sure is a good thing Nat’s face isn’t plastered everywhere that she’s wanted… oh wait…

Okay but why the guns drawn?

Why the fighting? You guys share an objective???

Ouch

Cmon I don’t wanna see Nat get tossed around like nothing. She better not sidelined in her own movie (plot twist, I know she is unfortunately…)

A knife? Are you guys trying to kill each other or do you share an objective???? Why the fighting??? There’s no reason to fight here???

Truce? It’s that easy? So why were you guys fighting at all????? What????? Just for a cool fight??? Really?

Ouch back injuries. From task master or someone else?

Red room eh?

Yelena, if you know that the red room is still active, then why not tell Nat you were just released of your own control from him???

Needless tension is needless.

I know I seem overly negative rn, and I’m sorry. I just had high hopes for this movie and after hearing so much about it since it came out, I’m just sad it was kinda messed up. Black widow and scarjo deserve better.

Hey that chick landed in water so she should be fine, right?

Use the serum on her. Cmon

Terminate? Oh

Damn

Rest In Peace

Ouch. She can rival two face.

Poor girl

Oh damn they have a tank (?)

Say it with me!! YAY PROPERTY DAMAGE

Poor Budapest lol.

Civilian casualties? Oh joy lmao

I’m wondering, who made the antidote?

Oh nice move yelena!

Where’s the military when you need em?

“He’s back” well yes. At this point, task master is a male lol.

Okay uhhh seatbelts can’t protect you from that yet somehow Nat and yelena will survive with just some scratches

WHEEEEEEEE SLIDE!

Take the shield!!! Bruh???

Why did they leave the shield? Take it!

Okay bruh you can tell that task master is a male. The body structure and the walking style.

Holy crap Nat just casually killing a kid damn

Sooo did the red room brain control chemicals or whatever come around after Nat left? Or did she not get it somehow? Or was somehow released or it?

Okay yea the pose is a pose but that pose is a legitimate thing for fighting lol

Lmao the cashier just like “ma’am this is a Wendy’s”

Oh okay so the brain washing chemicals happened after Nat left

So I wonder why Dreykov takes girls and not boys too? Does he think women are easier to break or something?

Damn Nat was abandoned in the streets by her real mom. Harsh…

Hey it’s the vest from infinity war. Neat.

Yay team up! Okay but you can still contact Tony or someone you know… I’m sure they’d help to take down the red room

Vest talk. Lot of fan service lol

Okay I know Florence Pugh can do a great American accent but her Russian accent is kinda shaky lol

White suit? So much for “black” widow lol

Secretary Ross can kiss my booty. Hulk should’ve killed him when he had a chance

Alexei!!! I doubt you ever met Captain America much less bear him lmao.

Man I’m sad. I know they turn Alexei aka the red guardian into a big joke. Marvel tends to do that… Ragnarök, Rhodey in end game (dude was popping insensitive jokes left and right).

Alexei really taking the earpiece out in front of the guards huh?

So where is this prison? Is it just like a normal prison or a corrupt one? (Well, corrupt in terms of marvel corruption)

Yea he’s definitely going to make a scene…

Called it.

I just saw the deleted scene for this part of the movie where they completely clowned on Alexei and made him a dumb joke. Well, moreso than usual. Glad they cut that.

Pose time. But again, that’s actually how you would do it lmao. Brace the impact.

“We’re both doing a really good job! 👍🏻” okay that one made me laugh lmao

Did… did she just use a rocket launcher?

Oh h yea an avalanche

Are these good or bad guys? Did she just doom a bunch of guards who are just doing their jobs and have families??? Bruh??? Is this prison just a regular prison for bad guys and they just killed some innocent dudes doing their jobs or what???

Nat and yelena just murdered a bunch of innocent Russian soldiers and guards just doing their job.

Okay uhhh how is Nat strong enough to grab onto big dude with one arm? Did you forget she’s not the one with any super soldier serum?

Why the aggression? Because of periods? Really dick? You’re the one who sent them to the red room you bastard.

Alexei shut up. The avengers were more family than you ever were.

Soooo how did dreykov recreate the super soldier serum?

Oh yes boring taking care of poor kids who have no one else. Poor kids who have been abandoned and kidnapped. Screw you dreykov.

Oh cool so Melina is also an evil terrorist

“We’ll make it.” *crashes* lmao okay you got a second laugh from me movie.

I like the braids Nat.

Yea Alexei I don’t believe you met Steve Rogers even once. He was either around before you were born and then immediately with the avengers. Maybe you faced the winter soldier.

Of course the awesome Red Guardian from the comics is a clown

Try to help these girls? Really Alexei? Oh yea so cool. Child assassins. Do you not hear yourself? CHILD… ASSASSIN!!!

Proud of the red ledgers… Real dumb Alexei

Screw you Alexei. Damn you marvel for ruining this character

Ah so Melina is a pig farmer

Aw cute piggies

Oh my big gun

Kill Alexei and Melina afterwards kay? Both are terrorists.

Oh cool a close up and Alexei trying to fit into his red guardian uniform but it’s hard because he’s fat. Haha. Reduce this character into a joke…

I don’t care how much this movie will try to redeem Alexei and Melina. The red guardian was turned into a joke and both of them are terrible people. Natasha and Yelena are the only good ones here.

Oh my gosh guys shut up and listen to Natasha

Alexei and Melina knowingly and willingly worked under Dreykov. They are terrible people

She… controls pigs?

And now she’s abusing it!! Let the piggy breathe!!!

Oh cool so Melina is the one who helped make the controlling serum!!!! So she’s even worse than I thought. She’s terrible. She deserves to die.

Melina your control affected your fake daughter.

Poor yelena holy crap. She was controlled by the chemical her own mom made.

Florence is such a good actor and now I’m trying not to cry

I hope you feel bad Melina. “I had no idea.” So? Even if it wasn’t someone you knew that was mind controlled wouldn’t make it okay.

Oh wow so Nat wasn’t abandoned, she was kidnapped and sold off the same time…

So how come Nat was referred to as “Dreykov’s daughter”? Is it because he was in charge of her?

Piss off Melina. You deserve no sympathy. You took CHILDREN and raised them as assassins and help break their minds. Countless others too.

Yea were given a choice melina. You could have sacrificed your life to not kill others and control them. You weren’t under the brain control influence so you have no excuse.

AND SHE ALERTED THE RED ROOM OF THEM EVEN NOW

KILL THIS WOMAN

Why do we have to hear how Alexei’s dad pissed on his hands to stave off frostbite?? Why potty humor in this?

Alexei and Melina don’t deserve Natasha or Yelena. And I’m still shocked Nat killed (or at least think she killed) a little girl.

Stop singing Alexei. Stop trying to appeal to yelena. You’re a terrible person. Yelena and Natasha deserve better.

Dammit Melina just keep screwing up why don’t you.

Wow… so his suit isn’t dart proof? What’s the point of the suit then???

Why is Natasha being sidelined in her own movie???

Pull the trigger

Do it.

Oh come on!! Just killed Melina!!!

But no… ugh screw you Melina. I hope you die.

How the hell did she take Natasha out so easily??? Nat is a good fighter!

Alexei isn’t good, but he’s better than damn Melina.

Oh red room is in the sky… doesn’t explain how satellite imaging couldn’t find it…

I wish this movie was about Natasha’s experience in the red room and then her mission with Clint in Budapest.

Dreykov sounds like Danny Devito lmaoooooo

Cut the brain out??? Hey no! Leave yelena alone!

Why do I feel like scarjo is getting less screen time than she should.

Mask?

Oh yea I saw this scene.

Alexei why can’t you punch through the glass? You have super soldier serum in you.

Great an emotional moment made into a joke.

Okay so face swap but poor yelena was still shocked and placed in danger

There was time Melina

Oh cmon let Alexei have an emotional moment

Soooo Melina agreed to a plan??? So how does she explain not doing anything for years? For torturing people for years???

Wow Nat has a lot of earrings

Aaaaaand taskmaster reveal

Still a man in the suit

And CGI woman face

And ruined task master

Task master was a badass in the comics who had skills and a photographic memory. This one relies on

Ah yes… of course… pheromones… because that works like that sure… PHEREMONES. Yes. Pheromones sure… cuz that works like that

Black panther claws

UGHHH I HATE MELINA IN FINE IF SHE DIES

Okay so yelena is grossed out by posing like that, but like, how else would you have posed.

Melina makes no sense. She suddenly grew a heart to take down the red room? Suddenly? Really???? Just up until Nat showed up she was still working for Dreykov.

Ouch Nat is getting punched a lot huh

Holy crap that’s a lot of widows

Please please let the red guardian actually be a badass and beat the taskmaster!!! Don’t have him need dumb rescuing!!!

Dreykov really is crap.

“Using the only natural resource the world has too much of. Girls.” Holy crap. That’s a powerfully heartbreaking statement. We sure this dude isn’t in kahoots with the Chinese government?

“Thank you for your cooperation.” Ah man I miss Loki

Sever the nerve eh?

OUCH

KILL HIM DO IT!!!

Wow melina how lucky can you get? All the debris lands on all of the bad guys but not you.

Ooh smart. A bomb with the antidote.

CMON RED GUARDIAN STOP GETTING YOUR BUTT WHOOPED

UGHHHH of course he needed rescuing

Dammit Nat that’s what happens when you stall and give a speech

Ah yes. All attack here one at a time. Smart idea.

Ouch. Well you held your own for a while Nat…

Well that bomb was perfectly timed. One second more and Nat would have been blown up too.

Convenient the antidote can be administered dust form

[in Finnish] and then she responds in English lol.

“You get to make your own choices now.” Okay but like… that doesn’t help lmao. They have no identity outside of this… no home too.

Wait when did you get the ring? And what’s the data transfer for? How are all of those other widows going to survive? They’re literally suddenly freed with no context of what to do or where to go? All of the ones all over the world?? What are they supposed to do?

Wait how were some of the vials not blown up??? That makes no sense. They were strapped to a grenade

Nat I hope you have a parachute…

Damn determined bad guys lmaoo. Free falling through the sky

Wait did Alexei always have that shield?

And once again the task master is a guy. Her stunt man is a male. It’s just ironic… just keep the task master a guy come on!!!

Is yelena sacrificing herself?

Wow that was some bad green screen behind her…

Wow that was a convenient parachute bag just lying around.

Okay if Nat is able to catch up—

THATS NOT HOW PHYSICS WORKS! Yelena was falling before Nat! She couldn’t have caught up!!! That’s not how it works!

Yay sky fight! And Nat doesn’t have a parachute

Oh nvm task master did fortunately

Still a man in a the suit.

Oh good a vial just casually lying on the ground

Lmao just leave her on the ground to find yelena

“Forgive me little sister.” Oh man I’m gonna start crying now… “it was real to me too.” Okay yea I’m crying

Okay I still don’t forgive Melina. She doesn’t deserve forgiveness

Lmao bruh y’all holding hands while Antonia is just lying on the ground

Okay the vest giving is very much fan service

Melina still has a lot to answer for. It’s her fault for most of this. She’s the one who made the formula.

Okay this is the last time she gets to see any of them… they don’t know she’s gonna die in like five or so years…

End?

No?

Trees.

Two weeks later huh?

Oh there’s Nat with short blonde hair and the vest

Oh nice an actual jet.

Sooooo how did she get out of Ross’ custody? She’s about to help the guys out of the RAFT prison, but how did she escape Ross’ custody? And if that was her plan, then why did she let herself get captured in the first place?

We barely know anything about this dude who’s helping Nat get the jet. Who is he?

Oh cool transition from the jet to the fireflies.

Oh that’s the end. Huh. Okay. Um…. Gotta admit… kinda underwhelmed here with the ending. Feels a bit shoe horned to link with infinity war… not happy with melina. She is literally responsible for so much. It’s not like the past few years she’s been fighting against the red room. She was literally actively still working WITH Dreykov only moments until natasha and crew showed up. She wasn’t going to stop working on the brain control chemical thingy for Dreykov at any time—literally only stopped when Natasha and crew showed up and forced her to be aware of her actions… even then she still called the red room before natasha came up with a plan… she’s not really redeemed at all… only just starting the pathway to redemption, but even then I don’t think she deserves it because she had no plans on stopping… she wasn’t guilty feeling. She wasn’t going to stop. She’s not a good person. Red guardian isn’t much better either… both of them took part in a fake family to pretty much groom yelena and Natasha for eventual assassin slavery… let that sink in…

This ending feels off… this movie was all over the place. Nat got sidelined in her own movie. I love yelena a lot but in the end, I would have much much much rather gotten a movie about Natashas experience IN the red room and then her escaping and seeing HOW she managed to do that, then her journey with Clint and how he offered her a second chance and then the Budapest mission. I would much much much rather have that. And save task master! The character was reduced to being barely in the movie, kind of like a mini boss, and then for a cheeky reveal “haha gotcha! It’s a woman” kind of like Ghost in Ant-Man and the Wasp (although that one I can’t excuse a bit more since at least they actually developed her as a character and was important to the plot). Think about it. If they removed task master from this plot, almost nothing would change. Nothing. But they wasted the character…

Natasha and scarjo deserved a movie a long time ago. Not AFTER the character died… the beginning of the movie was fine. Keep that. Then, transition it to Natasha’s time IN the red room. Show the atrocities. Show her as the victim manipulated into an assassin. She her confrontation with Clint. Show her breaking out of the red room and helping shield take down the red room. Show her reuniting with yelena even that’s fine. Don’t waste the red guardian or task master. Have yelena and Nat part ways, yelena tasked with helping the other widows readjust to society. Have her start her own organization or something. Show Natasha getting approached by nick fury about the avengers initiative. Bam. That’s the movie we wanted. That would have been great. That’s what Natasha and scarjo deserved. Not this movie. I’m sad to be so negative about this movie. Natasha is literally one of my favorite characters in the entirety of the mcu.

I’m just really upset with the movie unfortunately. For years people expressed interest in black widow, wanting to know her story in the red room and how her and Clint met and their mission in Budapest… but the studios opted for something entirely different for some reason. It’s really disappointing.

Holy crap there are so many credits

Sigh… anyways… time for the mid credit scene… a scene I’ve heard of…

YELENA GOT A DOG

Graveyard…

God I miss Natasha so much

I wonder who put all the pictures and stuffed animals there?

Yelena paying her more respect than the avengers did (yes marvel, I’m STILL salty you didn’t have the avengers give her a funeral but they did for Stark… THEY JUST COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT HER!!!)

Oh hey Valentina. This was supposed to be your first on screen appearance but then this movie kept getting pushed back again and again and you showed up on TFatWS first.

Oh wow so yelena knows who Valentina is. Is she already working for her? Or has she in the past?

“I want a raise” okay so she has.

“The man responsible for your sister’s death.” Ugh…. Say it with me people!!! CLINT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR NATASHA’S DEATH!!! And how did yelena get caught up being an assassin again??? You’d think she wouldn’t want anything to do with that life

Guarantee Yelena will be a background threat in the Hawkeye show and then they’ll quickly settle the issue and she won’t be important to the show after.

Okay I’m tired. I’m gonna watch a better movie now. #JusticeForBlackWidow

So I had a dream about Miraculous Ladybug. And it felt really really real okay, let me tell you.

So mind you I was watching ATLA for the first time last night so if you see some similar themes, that’s why.

So it starts off with Gabriel, Audrey and Chloe. Like the show starts with them and honestly it feels like they’re the main protags than Marinette and Adrien.

Gabriel is less of a prick but a bit more neglectful with Adrien. His friendship with Audrey stems from them both growing up as Miraculous weilders and Audrey passed hers down to Chloé as the Queen Bee.

The thing is, they kissed the Queen Bee clip due to Master Fu taking it back and after Emily’s disappearance, Gabriel also misplaced the peacock Penant as well. Also because Master Fu took it. Think it was an unsaid battle.

So Gabriel is becoming Hawkmoth to save his wife and give Chloé back her clip back but first they gotta get the Ladybug and Chat Noir earrings and ring as usual.

So the three are teaming up to figure out who on earth is Ladybug and Chat Noir and eventually Tomoe gets in on it too because she wants a Miraculous if her own when they grab em and the A plots of the show are centered mainly around them which sounds boring but In my dream it actually worked out really well because they bounced off of one another greatly.

Meanwhile, Marinette and Adrien figures out one another’s identities from the get go. They end up dating between season one and two and Gabriel is Suspect™️ because he sees those black earrings and ring so he gets Nathalie to kinda peep at Marinette sometimes.

Luckily Marinette is such a clutz on the regular that Nathalie says it’s a dead end. And since Gabriel cares but not really with Adrien, he pushes the thought back that his son will never fight him. But Chloé is watchful of them both since she’s being used as a spy and not Lila. But she’s worse at her job, especially when Ladybug starts giving her the clip willingly.

And it’s when she does and puts trust on her when Chloé slowly stops working with Gabe and Audrey and sides with Ladybug. Boom, Audrey and Gabe is pissed and disowns her and Chloé is like bruh but ends up becoming redeemed. Mind you in this dream, she’s definitely a worse person because she was working with a legitimate terrorist but you know.

Mind you he isn’t stupid. He’s akumatized her and threatened her a lot of times but he couldn’t do much more than that since she’s the mayors daughter.

Around season 3, Chloé flags down both Ladybug and Chat Noir and tells them she knows who Hawkmoth is and basically how she used to work with him to get on her mothers good side. Ofc Ladybug and Chat Noir are disgusted but they still let her speak and she tells them. Cue Chat Noir break down and Chloé realizing what’s up when she sees him panicking. I feel like this is when he redemption solidifies because she sees how much he’s really hurt his son and yadda yadda and since she knows

Oh Lila eventually gets in on this too and realizing Marinette and Adrien are like really close, she puts the class against both her AND Adrien. It would’ve been just Marinette but Adrien grows more of a backbone from dating Marinette for so long that he stands up for himself and her more so she @ him more as well. Shes all in all is a more terrible terrible person in this au but disguises it even better. And I think in this AU, both her and Adrien gets akumatized together too and Chloé takes their Miraculous before they transform. Since at this time she would be fully redeemed. And let me tell you, Prince and Princess Justice... theyre fucking powerful. Like they’ll have a 3 part episode just to themselves okay, since Chloé has to find a ladybug and and Chat Noir real quick.

The first episode of them would be a build up and at the end is when they go stupid aah go crazy ahh and get akumatized and the second episode is when they’re fighting them and the third episode is when the ladybug and chat noir turns prince and princess justice against Hawkmoth .

It was a lot!! It was a lot uh, wow. Maybe I would make this into a fan fiction one day but probably not hakejs any ideas?

#miraculous #mlb #ml #miraculous ladybug #ml adrien #ml marinette #ml gabriel #ml nathalie #ml audrey #fic rec #lila salt #gabriel salt #adrien sugar #mlb fic prompts #marinette #adrien #adrinette #ladynoir

Love You Goodbye (s.s.)

Pairing: Sebastian Stan x Reader

Word count: ~1.8k

Summary: The end of your relationship with Sebastian was never going to be easy, especially when you both thought you’d spend forever together...

Warnings: Heartbreaking break up (bruh I cried), mentions of sex but nothing too descriptive

Listen to the song, “Love You Goodbye” by One Direction and you will understand everything. I do not own the song or the lyrics!

A/N: All of the lyrics to the song are supposed to be bold, but for some reason mobile isn’t showing it. So I apologize in advance.

My Masterlist

It’s inevitable, everything that’s good comes to an end...

My suitcase is dropped by the door, a hole in my heart. This is it. As soon as I walk out this door, this nearly two-year relationship is over.

In the beginning, it was great like every relationship should be. We talked every day, we made each other laugh, we went out on fun dates and had nights in, we built a foundation that was going to sustain us through anything... well just about anything. “Anything” didn’t include the constant disappointment of our relationship always coming second. I knew when I met him that his career was a high priority. I knew there would be periods where we didn’t see each other or get to spend a lot of time together. I knew there would be scrutiny and jealousy.

But the reality of it all was far different than I expected. The missing dates due to filming, the lack of communication leading to endless fights, the amount of time spent apart outnumbering the time together... all of it being too much for both of us to handle.

I fidget with my keyring, eyeing the two keys I’ve gotten used to having: one for the apartment building and the other for this amazing second home I will miss terribly. The few memories we did make here I will treasure more than anyone will know.

His shaky exhale that fills the room is heavier than my suitcase. Today has been a toll on both of us. Neither knowing what to say; if there’s anything TO say. As I emptied my side of the closet that he so graciously gave me for my visits, the tears free flowing. My heart shattered with every article of clothing I placed in my suitcase. He sat on the bed watching as I packed. His tears matching mine.

After the last screaming match, I said the words no one wants to say in a relationship: I can’t do this anymore. I had been thinking it for a while, as much as I wish I didn’t. I loved him. I loved him with my whole heart. That wasn’t our problem. There was no love lost between him and I. That’s the reason we held on as long as we did.

But love alone can’t sustain a relationship. That’s not the reason to keep something going when it’s inevitable end was near. There has to be more than just love between two people. That’s all we had... and it wasn’t enough.

It’s impossible to know if after this we can still be friends...

I wish I could believe things could be good between us after this. The damage that’s been done can’t be undone. Words have been said that can’t be taken back. Promises that were broken can’t be unbroken.

I remove the keys from the silver ring and place them on the kitchen counter. I meet his swollen blue eyes that make my heart flutter. He stands before making his way over.

“Do you have everything?” He asks, his voice barely above a whisper.

His voice brings fresh tears to my eyes knowing it’s probably the last time I’ll hear it. I nod, feeling the lump in my throat growing. “I think so,” I whisper back. “But you know me,” I wipe a fallen tear away, “I always forget something.”

The silence returns between us. The only sounds heard are our breathing. Trying to stay strong when we’re both hanging on by a thread.

I know you’re saying you don’t wanna hurt me Well, maybe you should show a little mercy...

“I don’t want this.” He shakes his head, voice cracking.

I swear my heart cracks along with it. This was never something I wanted. I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. I wanted to marry him, be the mother of his children, be his partner in life...

I take a deep breath trying to prevent another breakdown today. “I don’t either,” I inhale again feeling my control slipping.

“Then please, just... stay.” He begs, running his hands up and down my arms before wrapping his arms around me. “I promise I’ll do better.” He says into my hair. I don’t know how many times I heard that promise. Every time he made it, I thought he might actually keep it. Until he didn’t. “I’ll take a break for a while. We can work on this- we can work on us. Just... please, baby...”

I would never ask him to take a break, risking everything he has worked for. He’s at the peak of his career. He’s worked so unbelievably hard to get where he is as one of the most recognized actors in Hollywood. It would be career-suicide to take a break at his current status. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if his dream ended because of me and my insecurities.

“I don’t want to lose you,” He whispers as tears fall.

The way you look, I know you didn’t come to apologize...

“I’m sorry.” I say for the hundredth time that day. He feels like it’s all his fault, he’s told me countless times since I admitted to not being able to be in this relationship anymore. But it’s not. We’re both responsible for the dissolution of our relationship. We both could have tried harder. We both could have done things differently. But it’s a little too late now.

Unforgettable, together held the whole world in our hands Unexplainable, the love that only we could understand...

“Please,” he begs again, tightening his grip around me. “Please, don’t leave me.”

That’s the final crack that broke the dam.

The sobs escaped both of us as we clung to each other. My hands clenched his t-shirt, balling it in my fists.

I know there’s nothing I can do to change it But is there something that could be negotiated?

It feels like hours before we pull ourselves away from each other. The shoulders of our respective shirts are soaked to the bone, our bodies empty, and our hearts in shambles.

“Are you sure,” he swipes at his face, “there isn’t anything that I could do to keep you from walking out that door?” His voice hoarse from the sobs that wracked his body just minutes ago.

“No,” I try to compose myself again before looking into his devastatingly beautiful eyes that hold so much hurt, so much pain, it’s hard to see knowing I’m the cause of it. “But if we don’t do this now, we’ll end up resenting each other later. And I don’t want to feel that way towards you.” I bring my hand to cup his cheek. His hand covers mine, bringing my palm to his lips for a kiss. “Anyone, but you.”

My heart’s already breaking, baby, go on, twist the knife...

“I love you,” he seals his love with an everlasting kiss. A kiss he poured every ounce of love he had left into the way his lips glided over mine in perfect harmony as they always have, how his mesmerizing hands ran over every curve of my body like he was memorizing it all. He lifted me up onto the counter without breaking the kiss, pushing himself between my legs as he has done countless times before. His lips slowly move down to my neck where he knows it gets me. He knows I can’t ever say no when he does this.

This time will be no exception.

Oh, why you wearing that to walk out of my life? Oh, even though it’s over you should stay the night...

He removes the knitted cardigan he bought me for no reason other than he thought I would like it, it’s suddenly too warm to be worn now. He always said it was his favorite thing of mine. He complimented me every time I wore it, and that was a lot. It was also my favorite. How loose it was made it perfect for winter nights without him, how big it was made it all the more comfy for the relaxing days, how perfect it was for every occasion no matter how special or mundane. However I think his favorite quality was how easy it was to take off.

His desire for one last time pressed against mine, moans being swallowed by the other as his lips found mine again.

In my head, I know we shouldn’t be doing this. This should be the last thing on both of our minds. However, we’ve both lost all of our strength to do anything, especially resist what could possibly be the last time we can feel each other’s touch like this again.

If tomorrow you won’t be mine Won’t you give it to me one last time?...

He scoops me up, my ankles locking around his waist as he brings us back to our once-shared bedroom, where we embrace each other in all of the love and tenderness we have in our bodies until the morning light peeps through the curtains.

I dress one more time before stopping to gaze at his sleeping form. All of the stress from the night before no longer visible on his strikingly beautiful face. His eyes aren’t as puffy. His gorgeous brunet locks and facial hair surround the beauty in a chocolate halo, his hair going in every direction because of all of the times he ran his fingers through it yesterday, as did I last night, his breathing and heartbeat even once again. He looked like the man I’d fallen so head over heels for and will be for as long as I live, no matter where our lives take us.

One more taste of your lips just to bring me back To the places we’ve been and the nights we’ve had Because if this is it then at least we could end it right...

I lean down and place a lingering kiss on his soft, pink lips. Oh how I’ve loved those lips. From the first kiss to the last, I will forever treasure all of the stolen kisses in public, long goodbye kisses at airports, sensual kisses for when either of us craved the other, and everything in between. Our relationship started with a kiss, it’s only fitting that it ends with one too.

Picking up my suitcase once more, I glance at the cardigan still sitting as it was discarded on the counter. I debated taking it with, but I know if I did, I’d live in it until it fell apart completely. By leaving it, I won’t have that constant reminder of him whenever I look at it. Just one less reminder of my broken heart.

As I look into his silent apartment one last time, as all of the memories we made flood back, his words before we gave in to our desire last night echo in my head...

“Oh, baby, let me Love You Goodbye...”

~*~

Head Over Heels

03. Changes

Samira’s POV

1 year ago...

“Samira-”

“Fuck off, Javi!” I barked, slamming the door in his face. I was fuming, struggling to get the leash off of my dog’s collar. Imagine this: you’re going to get coffee before work and take your dog for a walk…. just to find your boyfriend tonguing down another girl in the park.

“Hey, hey now...what’s goin’ on here?!” My roommate Brazil asked loudly, her arms crossed defensively. Her girlfriend (also my best friend), Kelly, appeared behind her with a bat.

“Jesus, babe!” Brazil exclaimed as she scurried between us and looked into the peep hole.

“Javi?!” She shouted.

“Kellz? Tell Samira to come here, right now!” Javi ordered.

“Nigga what?!” Brazil snapped, twisting her face in disgust. “He just… Did he really just fucking say that?!”

“Wait- what happened?!” Kelly voiced.

“I was walking Masego and then I checked my phone, and when I look up from my fucking phone, he’s goddamn kissing some fucking rando at fucking Greenleaf!” I sobbed, hot tears running down my face.

“Shit…” Brazil mouthed.

“Go away, Javi!” I yelled.

“Samira, please! Lemme explain-”

“Explain what, bro?!-” I snapped. I was beyond pissed. I was shaking. Brazil came to my side, rubbing small circles into my back as tears continued to fall.

“OK! Maybe you should go, man. Just for a little bit.” She said, cautioning him.

“I’m calling Honey.” Kelly whispered to her beloved as she put the phone to her ear. She patted my shoulder as she moved into the kitchen off to the side so she could hear better.

“Mira! Why won’t you talk to me?!” I could hear him holler.

“Do you seriously have to ask me that shit?!”

“Baby she was NOTHING!”

“And that’s some bullshit if I ever heard it-” Just then, Kelly appeared, linking her arm in mine.

“He’s on the way with Wonho and Shownu.” She told us quickly.

“Alright, Javi, bounce bro! Jooheon is on the way with the boiiz and I definitely don’t want you to catch that kinda ass whooping cuz we cool man-” Brazil warned.

“You think I give a fuck about two chink ass muh’fuckers-” he snapped, banging on the door. Startled, Kelly raised her bat.

“Bro you’re deadass being DUMB- get the FUCK outta there! They on they way-”

“BRUH ION GIVE A FUCK!” Javi interrupted her. I looked into the peephole and he was turning red in the face; muscles straining and veins popping from his everywhere. His brows sewn to the middle as he paced in front of the door.

“That muh’fucker better give a fuck.” Kelly mumbled.

“Hell yeah. I’m not tryna be on the receiving end of Wonho’s any fucking thing…..except-” I began with a raised eyebrow.

“Girl that’s all of us. Even me. And I like vaginas!” Brazil joked, breaking the tension. We shared a brief laugh before I shook my head slowly into tears.

“I just don’t understand….. What did I do?” I bawled. I was truly at a loss for words. I was speechless. I gave Javi….everything. He was my first love, he took my virginity, he gave me a promise ring and swore in front of a room of people that he’d replace it with an engagement ring. I let myself be unequivocally me with him…. and he played me… for who? After a few moments of me crying my heart out in front of the girls, there was a jumble of voices outside the door.

“Ayo what’s good H-”

“Shut up.” I heard Jooheon’s voice interrupt and a light thump from the sound of a fist colliding with a jaw. There was a knock at the door and when Kelly opened up, standing there alone was Jooheon, cradling his injured fist. I ran to the doorway to look down the hall and see Javi being carried away by both Shownu and Wonho’s massive builds. “Are you ok?” He asked me softly, reaching out for me. Without a word, I ran into his arms and just stayed there for a while, crying. He hushed my tears and stroked my hair, kissing the top of my head.

Two Months Later….

There was a knock on my bedroom door but I didn’t answer. “Mira?” I heard Jooheon’s voice say from the other side. My heart jerked but I was too sad to move. “A bunch of us are going to the noraebang in Korea Town…. Wonho and Shownu are going and Maura’s just come from the airport….and your sister, Lydia is in town… she wants to see you, too…” he said trying his best to make me feel better. I huffed.

“Do I have to?” I groaned.

“Absolutely not, peanut, but we’d love it if you did…. I want you there too.” Jooheon said. I laid there and pondered it. It’s been a while now….. I couldn’t be this way forever. Javi made his choice and I needed to move on… I stood up and opened the door just enough to peek through.

“Will I get to sing La-Di-Da-Di?” I asked quite hopefully. Because who doesn’t like singing Mindless Self Indulgence?

“I’ll even make sure you have backup vocals. And I could beatbox if you'd like.” His eyes softened and he gave me the sweetest smile.

“I suppose I could make myself presentable….” I sighed. And with that I turned around to go grab a jacket and a pair of duck boots.

We parked on the street and he fed the meter before taking off down the street. After walking a block, we stopped at a building with a colorfully lit doorway. “Ladies first.” Jooheon smirked, giving a dramatized bow. I popped him on the back of the head playfully and walked down the illuminated staircase. We greeted the owner and Jooheon led me to the room they rented. When we arrived, I could hear them already singing Livin’ On A Prayer at the top of their lungs.The door opened and there was Wonho and Kelly singing loudly and terribly. Just two stepping and playing the tambourine, everyone around the room clapping and cheering them on. Brazil noticed me enter and the biggest smile appeared on her face as she came to hug me.

“I’m so glad you came….” she told me as she gently squeezed me. Shownu’s gentle but stoic face displayed for once a smile. He opened his long arms to me from the red leather couch.

“Come here, booger.” He said sweetly and I ran to jump into his lap, curled up in his embrace as he rocked me to the rhythm of the music. When I looked over, sitting next to him with her arms crossed and a nervous expression was my sister, Lydia.

“Hey, sis.” She said with a small smile.

“Dia. Hi.” I said in surprise.

“I’m sorry to hear about you and Javi…” she said looking down. “Really I am.”

“I’m not…. he didn’t want me anymore and he wasn’t man enough to say so.” I said in a stale tone as I slid off on Shownu’s lap to sit between them.

“I’m glad to hear you’re ok.” He said patting my head.

“Oh no, I’m on the verge of killing myself but I don’t wanna die yet. I refuse to let him be the reason that I leave this earth. I….refuse…” Tears began to spill past the barrier as my friends’ song came to an end and the others came rushing to me. Kelly sat in my lap and wrapped her arms around my neck tightly, sobbing as I sobbed. But then I began to laugh. “Hey now!” I said looking around at the red and blubbering mugs around me. “Y’all look like shit! And red and….wet faced and…” My eyes ghosted over them all and landed on Jooheon. His eyes were red and swollen and he wiped his tears away with a sleeve. “Like someone kicked your puppy! I’m gonna be fine. I promise.” I reassured everyone except myself. Would I be fine? I didn’t know what to do with myself now. Everywhere I went reminded me of him…

“How about a song to cheer you up?” Wonho asked in his gentle but deep voice. Paired with that sweet smile of his, I couldn’t say no. And with that, we commenced karaoke night.

An hour or so passed and I was beginning to lose my voice from screaming and singing and laughing so much. I was having a great time for the first time in a while. I looked around at my friends faces and they were all drunk and happy. All except my Lydia. It wasn’t like her to not participate in karaoke. At any event. She seemed stuck in a way. Like she was nervous to make a decision. And she stayed buried in her phone, texting. I chewed my bottom lip and walked over to sit by her side. “Hiya sis!” I exclaimed with a flop on the couch. She looked startled and suddenly became flustered.

“Samira! Hi! I was looking for you…” she mumbled. I side eyed her a bit.

“I was...standing right in front of you basically… The room’s not that big.” I stated, awkwardly.

“Oh! So you were…” she trailed off and began fidgeting with her fingers. Something was wrong…

“Are you ok?” I asked her as the fear of something bad sat in my chest.

“Is there any way we can talk outside?” She asked me. I stared at her with empty eyes as I nodded and we both left for the hall without notice. But I’m sure they saw.

When I closed the door, the loud music thumped a muted bass line on the other side. Lydia pushed her long, wavy brown hair behind her ear and cleared her throat, taking a deep breath afterwards. She pulled the sleeves of her long orange cardigan over her hands and crossed her arms, staring at the ground. “What did you wanna talk about?” I asked. She sat back in her hips and held her head high as she looked at me to speak.

“Well… Samira. There’s no easy way to say this so I’ll just come out with it…..” she began in a shaky voice. I frowned, knitting my brows together tightly and flaring my nostrils. My heart was beating faced and my fists clenched up as I prepared to hear the news. “I…. I….” Her lips began to tremble and she seemed to cease breathing. “It was me.”

“Huh?” I asked confused.

“It…. it was me… Javi was kissing me at the park. It was me, Samira….” she said hanging her head, tears dripping onto the floor. I wasn’t sad as much as I was angry. I had so much rage boiling inside me that I was shaking; I couldn’t speak properly. I was just a stuttering mess.

“Y-You….” I lifted a shaky finger to point at her, stammering.

“Mira, I’m sorry…. I’m so so sorry-” And like a switch, I almost became someone else. My hand grabbed a fistful of her sewn in hair and threw her to the floor, screaming. I don’t know what happened in the next two minutes. But when I came to, Wonho was holding me by the waist, suspending above the ground; kicking and screaming and yelling. My hands hurt and my eyes burned. My sister was on the floor, disheveled and shaky, crying. Her lip was bleeding and she had a few marks on her face that Shownu was looking at and tending to. Kelly was in front of me trying to grab my attention as Wonho dragged me away, Jooheon standing between us all looking at us in shock.

“Calm down, booger-” Wonho said in a hushed tone, restraining me like a wild animal with rabies.

“I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!!!!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs.

“OOOOKAY!!!! Honey! Close out the tab, karaoke is done. Now!” Kelly barked, following Wonho as he carried me out. “And meet me at the crib.”

Without a doubt, S3E5 A Life in the Day. I just. Goals.

Entrapdak is so cute I just can't.

7. what is your favorite episode of 1?

Call me terrible but "Faith". I bawled like a baby, it's so well done and heartbreaking and I just. Ugh. It's so sad but touches me so deeply. I can't not.

9. what is your favorite season of 2?

There aren't many but S3 was LIT. They're all good though.

10. how long have you watched 1?

Damn idek. It's been a while. But I definitely didn't start when it came out. I think... Maybe I started after S3 came out? That's just a wild guess though.

11. how did you become interested in 3?

I saw a suggested article and flipped tf out and waited at the edge of my chair till it came out lol

12. who is your favorite actor in 4?

Oof. Probably Hale Appleman. Eliot is such a good character.

let’s talk about the REAL origin of the KKK and how it mirrors the birth of the alt-right

The KKK probably didn’t actually start as a racist thing but became a vehicle for it.

It basically started because this group of young professionals who probably never owned slaves (think the college educated alt-right of today) and basically got bored and decided to make a secret fraternity for shits and giggles. “It would be secret, to heighten the amusement of the thing, and the titles for the various offices were to have names as preposterous-sounding as possible, partly for the fun of it and partly to avoid any military or political implications.” And they recruited people to join and hazed them just like a fraternity.

For fun, they disguised themselves in sheets on horses and road through the streets. It caused such a stir, they were like YO?? This is fucking awesome we’re causing so much shit trolling everybody

So, they started adding weird shit to the costume.

They’d wear animal horns, fake facial hair, polka dots, reflective material, satin, sacks over their head (think Victorian Halloween costumes), black/red face (which was commonly used to hide your face at the time and make it seem like they were black and native americans were the ones committing crimes), and often colorful robes and women's dress. Basically these guys were literally just out here straight up looking like something straight out of The Purge meets someone’s Mardi Gras fursona. like they went either went HARD or they had a fucking sack over their head going yo i’m TOTALLY in the kkk

fun fact: there was so much crossdressing that in accounts of people describing them, they were sometimes like I THOUGHT THEY WERE A BAND OF WOMEN??? and a lot of times their victims recognized them because they were wearing their wives dresses

At some point, they decide to scare blacks for shits and giggles because they thought they were easy targets and afraid of ghosts. "Much of the Klan’s early reputation may have been based on almost frivolous mischief and tomfoolery. At first, a favorite Klan tactic had been for a white-sheeted Klansman wearing a ghoulish mask to ride up to a black family’s home at night and demand water. When the well bucket was offered, the Klansman would gulp it down and demand more, having actually poured the water through a rubber tube that flowed into a leather bottle concealed beneath his robe. After draining several buckets, the rider would exclaim that he had not had a drink since he died on the battlefield at Shiloh. He then galloped into the night, leaving the impression that ghosts of confederate dead were riding the countryside.”

some quick history: “Back in those days planation owners had little log cabins built around in a circle, around for the slaves. And the log cabins, they dabbed between two logs, they dabbed it with some mortar. And of course when that falls out, you could look out and see. But every, most every night along about eight or nine o’clock, this overseer would get on his white horse and put a sheet over him, and put tin cans to a rope and drag it around. And they told all the slaves, ‘now if you poke your head out doors after a certain time, monster of a ghost will get you.’ they peeped through and see that and never go out. They didn’t have to have any guards.” Fry said such disguises meant to scare slaves were common and that the first Klansmen, knowing this, naturally chose similar uniforms, often embellishing them with fake horns and paint around the lips and eyes.

black people were like........ lmao bruh. we don't actually believe in ghosts?? but we believe white people can be fucken crazy. because who the fuck wouldn’t be unsettled by a bunch of weirdos riding up in masks looking like the pre-war slave patrols riding around on horses who would literally fucken shoot you if you left ur cabin. let’s just take a moment to appreciate that white slave owners’ solution for making sure slaves didn’t run away during the night was the same logic as adults trying to scare their kids into staying in bed so they can go get nasty: stay in bed or the GHOSTS will get you

“The whole rationale for psychological control based on a fear of the supernatural was that whites were sure that they knew black people. They were not only firmly convinced that black people were gullible and would literally believe anything, but they were equally sure that blacks were an extremely superstitious people who had a fantastic belief in the supernatural interwoven into their life, folklore, and religion. Such thinking had obvious flaws: the underestimation of black intelligence and the overvaluation of existing superstitious beliefs. Blacks were frightened, no doubt, but not of ghosts. They were terrified of living, well-armed men who were extremely capable of making black people ghosts before their time.’

alright so. at the time (reconstruction, or just post-civil war), the southern states are passing these new laws (black codes) that basically went: go fuck yourself poor whites and blacks, you’re not getting any of our power and WHILE WE’RE AT IT let’s just virtually re-enslave blacks (e.g. blacks can't assemble in groups, have guns, learn to read and write, testify against white people, etc. and forreal spouting a lot of the same white nationalist ideas as the alt-right today. they were like: “we hold this to be a Government of White People, made and to be perpetuated for the exclusive benefit of the White race" and driving a wedge between poor whites and blacks.

which begs the question of like bro. why weren’t poor whites and blacks out there looking like that handshake meme hating rich whites in power?? and that’s because poor whites and blacks were usually poor in very different ways so that they were at best tentative allies. Poor whites typically owned land but usually not the other resources that would have allowed them to exploit their land intensively. blacks needed social services because like they were out there like drake starting from the bottom. so, the rich white dudes in power were like heeeey poor white people you know if we give blacks these programs... we gotta tax ur land that you’re already struggling to hold onto and reap benefits from. there’s clearly NO OTHER OPTIONS. so you’re at this point in time where not only do you have this racism where a lot of white people think they’re better than black people, the north going guys can u please play nice and let the black people have some rights?? and the south being like U CAN’T TELL ME WHAT TO FUCKEN DO, but ALSO a lot of growing resentment from poor whites about black people making their lives harder. and if we’re learned anything from history, this is the PERFECT environment for white, racist extremists to THRIVE (e.g. illegal immigrants are taking our jobs! we need a muslim ban!).

SO. back to the kkk. Everyone thought the KKK was SO. FUCKING. WEIRD. they talked about it constantly locally. and it got outta control.

stuff like the night riding QUICKLY started getting out of hand. “Anyone could put on a sheet and a mask and ride into the night to commit assault, robbery, rape, arson or murder. The Klan was increasingly used as a cover for common crime or for personal revenge.”

so suddenly all these racist extremists and people with who could become extreme (same logic as liam neeson who who said he wanted to kill some black bastard after hearing his friend was raped by a black man) ... like there’s a growing place for them to meet and exchange ideas and make each other worse. so all these people and groups on the fringe start associating themselves with the kkk and using the kkk as a way to connect with people who also wanted to do terrible things.

the klan has, perhaps unwittingly, just accidentally organized extremists who might never have otherwise been able to organize like that

“Describing the actions of Ku Kluxers who marched in a Mardi Gras parade in Memphis in 1872, after conservative Democrats regained power, a newspaper writer reported that some of the marchers carried ropes. “It was a favorite bit of pleasantry to lasso a negro,” the writer noted. “No violence was offered but the contortions and grimaces of the captives were highly amusing.” The public pain and fear of these victims of Klan “pleasantries” offered visual confirmation that order had been restored in the South. Besides being fun for the perpetrators, performance also had a cloaking quality. As Parsons writes, “Klansmen used performance for reasons that lay far beyond any hopes of obscuring their identities or cowing their victims.” By making their violence appear theatrical, Klansmen could essentially confuse authorities, who would take time to decide whether the perpetrators were joking. Performances also misdirected outside audiences (like Northerners), who might have trouble figuring out what the Klan was all about. “The Klan was conceived in a tableau vivant, nurtured by minstrels and serenaders, housed by circuses and masquerades, and given an afterlife in Mardi Gras processions,” Parsons writes. All of that playing with current forms of popular culture meant that Klan violence confused observers—especially white Northerners, who were fans of minstrelsy, too, and quite ready to laugh at a black person who was the butt of a joke.”

but like?? it’s just for lols right? it doesn’t necessarily mean those guys were RACIST or they were ALL racist. that’s just the kind of edgy humor everyone was DOING at the time. “In a painful irony, circuses and minstrel shows, which had provided the theatrical vocabulary for acts of Klan violence, included Klan-themed skits in their programs; these representations then provided cover for the Klan, who could continue to claim to Northern observers horrified at the violence that the Klan was an imagined entity.”

and then like. it really fucking starts going fucking down. you start having a “few bad apples” doing shit like burning black churches and schools (exactly like what’s happened with dylann roof, attacks on synagogues, shooter in new zealand).

journalists in the north are losing their goddamn mind and reporting on it because the kkk is just SO. FUCKING. WEIRD. and how can you not? people are dying and saying they’re associated with the kkk which are doing... what again? these weird dudes dressed up like they’re going to mardi gras??? c’mon. THOSE guys? that’s a bit of a stretch to blame the KLAN for that.

in fact, the north was so obsessed, the klan became TRENDY in the north. northerners would dress up as them at costume parties and have KLAN APPRECIATION GROUPS. sometimes ironically, sometimes not.

so the klan becomes a recruitment tool for those people. just like geek culture and youtube became a tool for radicalizing and recruiting white men.

"By making their violence appear theatrical, Klansmen could essentially confuse authorities, who would take time to decide whether the perpetrators were joking. Performances also misdirected outside audiences (like Northerners), who might have trouble figuring out what the Klan was all about."

SO. There’s a website online called Stormfront which is a is a white nationalist, white supremacist, antisemitic, Holocaust denial, neo-Nazi Internet forum, and the Web's first major racial hate site. In addition to its promotion of Holocaust denial, Stormfront has increasingly become active in the propagation of Islamophobia. They use controversies like GameGate, places like 4Chan, Reddit, and YouTube to convert people. Often, people will meet and interact with neo-nazis without even knowing it.

“I think one of the real things that made it so difficult to get out and realize how radicalized I’d become in certain areas was the fact that in a lot of ways, far-right people make themselves sound less far-right; more moderate or more left-wing,” Sherratt said.

Sherratt wasn’t alone. YouTube has become a quiet powerhouse of political radicalization in recent years, powered by an algorithm that a former employee says suggests increasingly fringe content. And far-right YouTubers have learned to exploit that algorithm and land their videos high in the recommendations on less extreme videos. The Daily Beast spoke to three men whose YouTube habits pushed them down a far-right path and who have since logged out of hate.

Here’s a couple highlights from Stormfront:
