#haunted island

[cosmicourple]

Ithaca is a cursed island,,,

Filled to the brim with Rot and decay, echos of a world no longer there, unforgiving to exist in,

Plant Life is dark and beautiful, thick ‘wood’ of dark forests gnarled and scarred with many Spats for Țerritory, howling gleefully through The Nights of Forever.

What is Society Anymore ??? What is Warmth or Shelter Anymore ???

why would she not listen to us why would she turn away from us.

Up on the surface, the Palace remains still, forever shining with rust and silver Moonlight, choking within its own aching stone skin.

While below,,,

The Halls groan with seemingly endless emptiness, pitch black to A Mortal’s eye But to ŤħœŘ unďŸıñğ ĞÄżœê—-

Somewhere Unknown, a mourning choir of Voices sing of the Land that’s Deities have turned them away, chanting together in rare shaken Unity ,,,while The Queen watches, humming along, a sound like velvet, pondering on what to do of Ț(ę Ťrä8þǒř,ß once She ŠÊŒŞ them Æġåñ,,,,,,,,,

(Deep deep down below, a Young One sings to a navy cloak, waiting, waiting, patient, patient, for they promised they would be back soon, waiting, waiting, waiting for them to come back, şħäðøŵș þřãłǐňġ bęhĩņď a Fořm Óf Ťħŷ 6ØÐ ÞǑ ĆŌMÆ FÕ ŤĦŒẞ ȚĮMÆŁĪŅ6ẞ—->- with fresh blood and meat not far behiņď in their claws, waiting, waiting, for a little feast to be brought for His their child, waiting, singing, waiting-)

, survival is all there is now. All there is to try.

Poveglia Island: Tales of Ghosts and Plague Victims

So, you have the Black Death, a crazed doctor in a psychiatric hospital, and a tiny island. This is a crazy place.

From the description:

Poveglia Island, located in the Venetian Lagoon, is infamous for its haunted reputation due to a grim history involving plague quarantine and a psychiatric hospital. Paranormal activity reports, including ghost sightings and strange noises, persist despite the island’s closure. Theories range from lingering energy from past tragedies to Dark Portal hypotheses explaining the supernatural occurrences.

this scene where inho comes to talk to gihun at night makes me feel insane.

he starts telling his story about his wife being sick and how they discovered she was pregnant while she was being tested for the liver transplant, and says,

"you see, my wife is stubborn."

and the camera is focused solely on gihun. it's so obviously meant to create a parallel between inho's wife and gihun.

before this, inho tells gihun that this wife

"says she'll give birth even if it kills her."

gihun will end the games even if it kills him. he won't stop until they have been burned to the ground, the same way inho's wife would not allow treatment until her child is born.

"i've never been able to change her mind about anything."

inho wasn't able to change his wife's mind about terminating the pregnancy and getting the liver transplant she needed, and he won't be able to change gihun's mind about the games being cruel and needing to be stopped.

gihun and inho's wife are both stubborn and caring, more worried about others' safety than their own.

and it's worth noting that inho's wife untimately died before being able to have a healthy living child. she never achieved her ultimate goal.

if she is meant to parallel gihun, then maybe gihun will also meet an ultimely death, unable to stop the games for good.

Deadman Island Hauntings

Tucked away in the waters of Vancouver, British Columbia, Deadman Island is a place of mystery and spooky lore. This little, unassuming island has a rich history that contributes to its reputation as a haunted place. Events that have left a lasting impression on its history have given rise to frightening legends and ghost stories. Even the island's name alludes to its somber past. During a smallpox outbreak in the late 1800s, Deadman Island served as a quarantine location. Unmarked graves buried the plague victims and those who succumbed to other diseases here. Many people attribute the island's eerie aura to this dark period in its history. The widespread belief that the restless ghosts of those who perished there still roam the grounds accentuates the island's spooky charm.

Both natives and visitors have recorded numerous paranormal events on the island. People who have visited often tell stories of strange lights, spectral apparitions, and unexplainable noises. Some people say they have spotted individuals walking down the shoreline dressed in period attire, but they always disappear when they get close. Others have reported hearing whispers and disembodied sounds borne by the wind, adding to the island's eerie reputation. One of the most persistent stories revolves around the ghost of a young woman frequently spotted near the water's edge. Local legend states that she looks for a missing loved one and that everyone who comes into contact with her senses her melancholy presence. Like many other stories about Deadman Island, this one captures the profound sense of loss and unsolved sorrow that appears to pervade the place. Despite its eerie reputation, Deadman Island remains closed to the public, heightening the sense of mystery and intrigue. The Canadian Navy's use of the island primarily renders it inaccessible, fostering curiosity and speculation about its true nature. This limited access only heightens the mystique, leaving much to the imagination and allowing legends to run wild.

The island's paranormal appeal demonstrates both human attraction to the unknown and the power of storytelling. It acts as a reminder of the narrow line that separates fact from folklore and history from legend. The stories of Deadman Island captivate the imagination and transport readers to a realm where the past never really rests, regardless of whether they are believers or skeptics. Deadman Island is essentially a representation of the rich history and mystery of Vancouver. Its paranormal legends continue to captivate listeners, offering a glimpse into the island's eerie past. The charm of Deadman Island continues, beckoning everyone who hears it to delve into the shadows of its legendary past, even though the truth behind these tales may never be completely revealed.

the fact that siffrin's life before forgetting was good. so painfully, so obviously loved and he doesn't remember any of it, they can't remember any of it, they are not allowed to ever remember it. the stars. their cloak, craft stitched into the seams, which keeps them comfortable no matter how hot or cold, which has grown with them for as long as he's had it. the stars. the night sky. an island with lightless sand. a dormant volcano? it got cold at night. the mountains, he said. the mountains, the sea, the lightless sand, dark like the night sky. did he freeze dormont overnight, the stars suspended eternally above, or did he simply wish that deeply to see the night sky once again? the constellations. the star charts. the telescopes. the stars. the stars. the stars. the universe. wishcraft. a language no one can understand. when siffrin talked about how they learned how to wish, everyone accepted it as the 'right' way without any real hesitation, even though all of them had learned differently, been taught differently, had only ever known differently. all of their experience vs siffrin's. almost like maybe there was a right way to wish, once. a way that people knew. a way that was accepted as correct, before it was forgotten. the universe rewritten. the stars in the night sky. are the constellations the same as they were before? or have they forgotten even themselves?

who wished for that? why? how many people? why? were they on the island, from the island, off the island, from anywhere else in the world? why? what did they believe? was it a wish made of fear? a wish made for safety's sake? those on the island had no idea what was going to happen. siffrin escaped by pure coincidence, by perfect, horrible timing. if they returned, what would they go back to? everything? nothing? culture and memories and understanding and warmth and love? nonexistence? would they remember their life outside of home? those outside would not remember them. why? why? the stars, the stars, the stars. craft stitched into the cloak, so painfully, so eternally loved. they owned a boat. did they know how to sail? how to rig the boat and tie the knots and use the stars to navigate the sea? why is it gone? who wished for that? why? why? why? the universe rewritten, endlessly erasing all memory and knowledge of itself, of the island that knew and loved it so. why? dreaming of thousands of lights. nostalgic. dreaming of stars, stars, stars. wanting to cry.

they do not remember their own name.
