Ravenous is Haunted

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I had a dream last night that Donald Trump died on November 22, 2024 and because Wicked comes out that day in the theaters everyone would scream sing the line

"Good news, HE'S DEAD!!!"

So I am just manifesting this becomes real and speaking it into existence.

Hail at Louis' show in Morrison, CO - 21/6 (x|x|x)

[deancasforcutie]

oh but the way I just know Dean hasn't found the peace at the end of his road in The Winchesters because Cas' words gave him strength to say That's Not Who I Am but -dodging that question on his name- not Who He Is - how could he be worthy of Cas' divine love? that breathless awe that never left his face at Cas' testament and the news of his resurrection has turned to apprehension - because how is this any different from Cas getting a new shiny set of wings and leaving him for Heaven all those times before? Cas after assimilating his Shadow and reflecting back the rainbow Dean's been chasing is not broken anymore he's Full and majestic - why would a Being so high above Dean give him the time of day let alone all of eternity? or, if he was fool in the rain enough to let himself believe good things do happen and the freed world where they can be together was a gift for him to keep what could he possibly give back that compares?? he doesn't know but in the light he finds the road, and he keeps following it. because he heard "I followed my heart, I don't think that's ever a mistake" and something will change for him to say "you open your heart and get a little lucky, you'll find you gain more than you lose" (it was the strength within the man's words and what they mean, Just Being with a transcendent love Death can never defeat)

okay i have a feeling

[autistic-katara]

icl i would be at least a little happy with almost any ending for stranger things but one thing that would ruin all of it would be an epilogue (of a decade or more later)

[ivysos2001]

Anyone else ever think about how the parks and rec finale’s epilogue-like reunion scene at the parks department takes place on July 7th, 2025 and how that’s somehow only months away now

Not saying anything’s gonna happen on that day but it *would* be the perfect time for a ten year reunion celebration of some kind for the shows finale 👀

[sometimeswritingsometimesdying]

fellas is it gay to steal your best friend's jacket with his last name on it?

[oh-snapperss]

[jackshiccup]

the joy of having a physical copy of otnwas is quadrupled when it means getting to annotate the fuck out of it w silly sticky notes that say 'i'm gonna krill myself' every time jack and hiccup have a Moment that i can refer to at random times when i especially feel like reliving it like,, my day be so bad then boom 'everyday with you is a moment to celebrate, jackson overland'

[navnae]

I just want Eddie to be the one to tell Steve that he shouldn’t feel anymore guilt about how he behaved at school when he’s grown from that, he doesn’t need to apologize anymore because as long as he can realize his mistakes there’s no need for him to blame himself for the past. I person think it’s stupid to keep throwing the past in Steve’s face when he’s clearly changed but for some reason something is always written the script to add more guilt and sadness onto his shoulders. STOP THIS NONSENSE!
