MAG 160 - "The Eye Opens" // Herzog Blaubarts Burg (1964)

[royalthorned]

royal you can’t just casually drop that “franny glass” tag cause otherwise i’m about to be in your inbox like this

don't even talk to me about them, the glass family is the only thing i could think about forever, i reread franny and zooey like an addict every time i have to make a decision.

franny is obviously a favourite, i read it as a fifteen year old girl who had begun to bring little virgin marys around with me and had decided to become an arhat over the summer. buddy creating a gothic horror narrative of being a frankentien's monster, seymour haunting every narrative including his own, buddy having banana fever...

perfect little group to obsess over forever, i would do anything for 100 more short stories of them, they don't even have to be good i just want more of them

I know it wasn't really popular until the 1870s, nor am I totally sure Arthur would go this far, but the idea of Arthur putting Molly on a "rest cure" to treat her "hysteria" around the 1840s before the Famine really kicked in is something that has been sticking in my brain. The idea of this woman going Yellow Wallpaper is something that just intrigues me. To be clear, either way, Arthur 100% referred to her as his "hysterical sister" and used that as an excuse to both keep her from going to Europe and making allies again.

The user on Reddit who leaked the kiss between Elrond and Galadriel said Sauron and Galadriel will not kiss in the finale. Sauron will flee to Mordor and that is how the season ends.

yada yada yada, isn't it a bit late to try and fear-monger with last week's fake leaks?

First of all, the 2x07 kiss leak didn't originate from reddit and it was never just one person spreading it, in fact several sources on multiple platforms claimed it was going to happen. And when that's the case with spoilers, I've long since learned that they're usually true, no matter how nonsensical they seem. And having now seen it, part of me thinks it was allowed to leak online only because it's so irrelevant.

Secondly, the spoiler about Sauron fleeing as a shadow was confirmed as fake first by someone who actually worked on the show and then by others who've recently seen the last episode! Again, if reliable sources say a leak is fake, then it's definitely fake. So sorry to disappoint you, anon, but they're not going to do a rehash of the S1 finale. And rest assured that Haladriel will not only survive but continue to thrive after the S2 finale, no matter if they kiss or not because their dynamic will still be the beating heart of TROP!

I'm afraid the only thing fleeing to Mordor as a shadow will be the lorebros after this show makes Haladriel canon!

My Banu Haqim/Assamites! "Xandy" and "Kolya." They share a sire, but had known each other beforehand when she was an American CIA Operative working to destabilize the Soviet Union (ghouled after she crossed the pond) and he was a secretly unwilling KGB Agent born in former Yugoslavia, now Serbia (ghouled after Xandy's trial period was complete.) Xandy is the dutiful shining star - a master assassin with plenty of clean kills beneath her belt, while Kolya is the capitalistic disappointment who sells to the Camarilla out of a van. Kolya also despises the Tremere, though that's not really new for many people of his clan.

Do you know if the og sunny pilots would be considered lost media or not?

idk if i would say "lost"? just because it seems like they do have the copies of that version of the show still.

and I assume they wrote scripts for those? Maybe not, but if they did we'd have those too to unearth if we couldn't get the footage due to digital decay or smth tho i hope they would've digitized them at SOME point even if they don't intend to ever share them. The thing is they just haven't released the home videos past sharing a few parts as bonus features and showing clips in featurettes lol... So yeah, unless they mention that the dvds/tapes are no longer viable or lost then i'd classify it as unreleased rather than lost.

and when i say jon, elias, and gertrude were basically playing out du maurier's rebecca—

Sally Beauman, Afterword to Rebecca Rebecca is the story of two women, one man, and a house. Of the four, as Hitchcock once observed, the house, Manderley, is the dominant presence.

Heta Pyrhönen, Bluebeard's Accomplice: "Rebecca" as a Masochistic Fantasy First, however, she [Bluebeard's Wife] must pass a test of obedience: she must not visit Bluebeard's locked room. In Rebecca, the protagonist must not seek knowledge about Maxim's past, a past that has spatial correlates in Rebecca's bedroom and boathouse.

Heta Pyrhönen, Bluebeard's Accomplice: "Rebecca" as a Masochistic Fantasy According to the contradictory logic of the "Bluebeard" tale, the husband ensures that the stated goal of obedience is never reached. In Rebecca, Manderley continues to run according to Rebecca's instructions; no changes are made in the environs she designed; her study, bedroom, and wardrobe are left intact; and even the fancy dress ball follows her arrangements. By continuing his life at Manderley as if nothing has changed, Maxim prompts his second wife to ferret out his secret. When she seeks knowledge about Rebecca and imitates her, she acts according to his covert script.

Du Maurier's addition to the "Bluebeard" intertext is the dead first wife's participation, first by proxy

and then as a water-eaten body, in the drama being played at Bluebeard's house.

Sally Beauman, Afterword to Rebecca The first wife, Rebecca, is vivid and vengeful and, though dead, indestructible: her name lives on in the book’s title.

The second wife, the drab shadowy creature who narrates this story, remains nameless. We learn that she has a ��lovely and unusual” name, and that it was her father who gave it her. The only other identity she has, was also bestowed by a man—she is a wife, she is Mrs. de Winter.

Sally Beauman, Afterword to Rebecca There is a final twist to Rebecca and it is a covert one. Maxim de Winter kills not one wife, but two. He murders the first with a gun,

and the second by slower, more insidious methods. The second Mrs. de Winter’s fate, for which she prepares herself throughout the novel, is to be subsumed by her husband.

in rebecca the narrator remaining nameless is meant to contrast rebecca's defiance of maxim with the narrator's acceptance of him. in the magnus archives, the obvious point being made re gertrude and jon's different recording signatures (simply her name vs his beholding title) is that unlike jon, gertrude refused to let herself be consumed by the eye and in turn, assist jonah with his plans (obligatory, no, i'm not blaming jon for being manipulated by elias). also, jon's role as jonah's archivist results in his identity as an individual slowly being subsumed in a very literal sense as he gradually gives himself up the beholding. throughout season four he resembles elias more and more as he displays his powers. and then in the finale, mag 160 - "the eye opens", he becomes jonah/elias as he assumes his voice inflection, experiences his fear, speaks his words, and fulfills his goal of summoning the entities into their world.

+

Heta Pyrhönen, Bluebeard's Accomplice: "Rebecca" as a Masochistic Fantasy By confessing (to Rebecca's murder and his past), Maxim achieves his covert goal: he finds himself in the same marital structure as before. He places himself in the protagonist's hands, for now she has the power to destroy him. Du Maurier's Bluebeard is in the same situation with his second wife as with his first, for both can bring him the public humiliation he fears. Unlike Bluebeard's wives, they have the power to undo him.
