Rachel Weisz as Elliot Mantle in Dead Ringers (2023) 

[apple-spider-vinegar]

OKAY, it might be a stretch to get a vast majority of Spider-Man fans to watch Cronenberg but if you like Harry Osborn (read: tragic, deeply sympathetic, emotionally unstable drug addicts trying and failing to build a life outside the influence of the more dominant family member they are deeply entwined with, and also there's some internalized homophobia in there) then can I please interest you in Dr. Beverly Mantle?

It really irritates me when people lump David Lynch and David Cronenberg together. In terms of stylistic inventiveness and thematic richness they're like the hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby meme

Am halfway through watching dead ringers (Mr cronenberg kiss me wet on the lips right now-) and it really feels like the pure concentrated form of the brother Winchester' whole thing. Their relationship in supernatural feels like the diluted and stretched out version of Elliot and Beverley's relationship in dead ringers. If you were to take away all the monster hunting and stuffing of the show and condense it down to just the brothers relationship it would look like this movie.

[ slides the dash $20 so we can plot weird twin shenanigans ] hi <3

[withbluegills]

I have been thinking a lot of viewing myself outside of myself. I am full of so much self-loathing and yet I think I could love a twin of myself. I am certain I would not be so terrible if I was not living as myself. It would be so much easier for me to take care of this body and see it as worthy if I wasn't living in it.

If I came across my dead body, abandoned in a creek, I would not simply walk by. (I know my death seems counterproductive to my point but it isn't). I would brush the debris off of my body and take myself home. I would not hesitate to wash myself clean and lay down to my dead body in bed. I would hold myself tight and live with myself comfortably.

If I came across myself stumbling down the street, I would not pass by without connecting. I would take myself by the hand and we would walk side by side. I would kiss my own cheeks and brush my own hair. I could be domestic with myself like this, cook and do my laundry without it all feeling like a chore.

I keep thinking about papers that come to the conclusion that people in love (sexually or romantically) with their own family members (especially twins) are narcissistic. I don't think it is. It seems much more to me that there is some connections you cannot get with anyone but yourself. And that for some people, they cannot connect with themselves as themselves. So there is this "manageable" degree of separation created with a twin (or another family member or even simply through someone similar to yourself) that allows someone to become intimate with themself without entirely having to confront what it is that they are doing.

You ever seen Roxanne Wolf from FNAF? Cause ur cool robot wolf Iady reminds me of her a bit

Of course! I mentioned to someone else recently how it's a bit funny; Kaita's earliest design, good number of years back, took very vague design inspirations from Mangle of all things. Honestly it was just "canid robot with lipstick and sharp teeth" overall, but I won't lie they were an influence (enough so that my other oc, Happy Chatty, is more of a clear dead-ringer to fnaf animatronics) but I developed Kaita separately over time and made her look more distinguished. Over time I exaggerated her hair a little more and more, and I think by the time Roxy was a thing, Kaita had a distinct pony tail. A big glamrock mane is a little much, but no lie Roxy inspired me to at least go a bit crazier with Kaita's hair.

I consider it a fun kinda convergent evolution! Thankfully I have this blog, so you can literally see Kaita's development by checking her tag in chrono.
