Some Batboy doodle sketches……….part 1 probably. Because im obsessed with it. Do we think that he effectively uses sonar/echo location? I do lol. Does anybody even know about this musical anymore? Did anyone ever? Much to think about. Click for quality

I’m really REALLY glad Batboy the Musical isn’t popular because the amount of incest ship art and fanfics of Edgar and Shelley would be genuinely insufferable

I'm just going to come right out and say it. I found Verna annoying. IDK, I just didn't like the moralising and supposed compassion she had for the Usher children. It just didn't feel genuine. Or was the compassionate mask supposed to add to the torture like when she's advising Tamerlane to be calm or something while literally freaking her the fuck out? If so, it just felt unnecessarily cruel to me. And I felt bad for Leo too. I feel like the only death I was actually happy about was Froderick's, and Verna's full on anger was easier to stomach than the cruel compassion (I'm sorry, but that's just how it felt to me). Madeline's monologue before she collapsed was badass.

Also, I'm probably reading too much into it, but it felt strangely conservative. It felt like the show was saying look at all these rich, evil, kinky/non-traditional relationship-having Ushers (I guess Froderick is the exception - he seemed to have a fairly traditional relationship iirc, and he turned out to be an abuser). And the sweetest Ushers are the monogamous housewife, and the granddaughter whose sexual/romantic life we never see. Even Morella seems to get punished for going to the orgy. Also, why the fuck did everyone else at the orgy die???

EDIT: Victorine also has a monogamous relationship as @queer-verse pointed out. Also, I want to clarify that I don't think the show was literally punishing people for having non-traditional/non-monogamous relationships. It just felt icky that all of the good people whose relationships we were showed/told about, were more traditional when it came to relationships. It's like when the "modern woman" is usually the villain in Indian soaps. She's not portrayed as evil because she wears modern clothes, and yet somehow, it's always the evil one that is "modern", while the good one is more "traditional".

The Fall of the House of Usher

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

The Fall of the House of Usher (2023, USA)

Creator: Mike Flanagan (based on Edgar Allan Poe's works)

Directors: Mike Flanagan & Michael Fimognari

Mini-review:

Mike Flanagan has done it again: he's given us yet another show-stopping piece of horror television. While I must admit I didn't find The Fall of the House of Usher super scary, I just love the way Flanagan and his team tell their stories. There's just something so enthralling and bewitching about their work. And this one in particular is definitely one of their strongest productions so far. Even though the show tells you what's going to happen in the very first episode, it never feels boring or predictable, and it keeps you absolutely hooked. You feel the need to know how everything will play out. Also, they made the brilliant decision of taking elements from a lot of Poe's stories and poems, which adds to the richness of the writing. I'm seriously thinking of looking up all the material used, reading it, and watching the show again, just to catch all the easter eggs.

And that cast. Man, there's no way to properly describe just how good the acting is. Everyone is absolutely pitch perfect, but for me the MVPs were Carla Gugino (sometimes I feel like Flanagan is the only one who gives her the incredible roles her immense talent deserves), Bruce Greenwood and Kate Siegel. Last but not least, kudos to the production design department, cause the show looks stunning. The Fall of the House of Usher is the best possible ending for Flanagan collaborative relationship with Netflix, and I can't wait to see what he'll do from now on.

BEING HERE WAS RISKING.. possibly his own life, but.. parker couldn't care less. no. fuck donna. she didn't get to stop this. edgar had dragged her and her stupid doctor to his office to discuss his medication and had winked at him before closing the door and.. parker couldn't have ran out faster. his arm was still in a sling, but.. right now, all that he could think about was that he had to do this. when he stopped at the door and his eyes landed on her? he froze. SHE HAD BEEN THIS HURT AND HE HADN'T BEEN HERE AND.. he had to promise himself that he would not cry. "how is it possible that even like this, you're still the most beautiful woman i've ever seen in my whole life?" starting with that seemed like the best thing to do. it felt.. like him. he rushed over to her bedside, before dropping to his knees next to it, immediately taking her hand and kissing her palm. "god, i missed you. i'm here, okay? i'm here and i love you so much. i probably don't have a lot of time, but.. i had to see you. one last time. before.." before they dragged him away from her and from his family and from his home. for good? @xtinyslip
